Verizon LG G2 System Update Available

Hi everyone,
I got a popup window notifying me about a system update that was ready to install on my Verizon LG G2. I chose not to install it, but it said I can install it later. I am rooted and I am not sure what this update is for, possibly a fix for the root exploits. Anyone else seeing this?
EDIT: Everyone is confirming that it does not break root, but if you have already installed TWRP then DO NOT ACCEPT THE UPDATE.

I got it too.... Couldn't find any info on it. I did the update and in "about phone' I still show rooted. It is still 4.2.2 so I am assuming it was a minor software issue/security fix.

Please confirm that you did the system update and can still use root apps. Also, which root method did you use. Maybe they patched the Chinese method, but not the newer method yet!

I'm getting the notification too. I won't be updating til I find out what it does.

Wow, pretty ballsy of you to accept the OTA without knowing if it would break root or custom recovery.

I hope there not trying that crap already

We have custom recovery. Why on earth would anyone do a OTA .. ever... again.... I have never. There will be a ROM based on Stock available that will include every GOOD thing from every OTA that is pushed... Patience is a virtue.

No customer recovery because TWRP is broken currently.

So how do you stop it from popping up the notification. I don't mind waiting, but I don't see how to dismiss the notification?

The Newest recovery has ADB option and is considered safe for now. My point is that why would anyone accept an OTA when it is obvious that withing a short period of time there is not only going to be a fully fixed recovery plus Custom ROM's based on the latest Stock ROM with the OTA included. Once you Root and install recovery, you kiss the carrier and their attempts at "Updates" goodbye.

Freeze the System Update App in System with Titanium.

I did the update and still have root access.

Notice anything change?

i haven't rooted yet, so i told it to install later. i'll root tonight so that i know i can have it, sounds like the update doesnt take root away, it could keep you from rooting if you arent yet tho..

Oh crap, did the update and it looks like I'm soft bricked(?). I can only get to TWRP, and can't reboot the phone (always goes back to TWRP, no matter what I do, even after Factory Reset). PLEASE HELP!!
(Verizon G2)

I'm not sure if I can attribute this to the ota update but my wifi performance has been really glitchy. Constant disconnect/reconnect.
I can't say it's due 100% to the ota because wifi will occasionally get spotty due to the sheer amount of wifi APs and traffic at my workplace.
Anyone else experience this? BTW I'm rooted.

I'm in the same boat, stuck in TWRP loop won't reboot. Downloading files to get back to stock, so will try to put into download mode once everything is downloaded (2.3gb file is taking a while)...I'm sure it'll be resolved soon enough. Will report back if it works.

Samsung Urgent Update?

I just received an urgent update from Samsung for Device Quality Agent. I had to quickly attend to something else, returned to my phone and the option to update was gone. I've gone into the Galaxy Apps and went to updates and there was nothing there. Is there a way to get it back?

Might be the update for the red-tint issue they were talking about. I am sure we will see more about this soon.

Still haven't gotten the update on Verizon. The DQA errors are really obnoxious! Any idea how to get this fix? Have tried checking for updates in system menu, and in the galaxy apps update section.

Got the update this morning and had to do a reboot cause it started messing with my iris scanning and other apps.

Yeah I have Verizon also, no love. This was killing me. I downloaded and install the updated APK manually. I can't post links. Go to APKMirror and search for DQA. The right version is 1-1-13-10. Resolved all my errors.
Make sure you enable Unknown Sources in Lock Screen and Security.

Thanks! I read some people rebooted and got it, so gave that a shot, and sure enough, it came in instantly when it powered back up. That might help some others too.

For sure it had at least something to do with Bixby. Went from having to double push Bixby button to single push to get Bixby to open.

I've asked around and consensus seems to be that it was NOT included in this update after all. Looks like they're saving it for the Pixel 2.

Im on fi I just downloaded the ota and then sideloaded it.

Go to settings - display - advanced and it will be towards the bottom.
Nevermind, misread. It is only for notifications. You can make it turn on when you pick it up though. By turning on "lift to check phone"

I use the modded one for O here. You need to fastboot and load TWRP every time you use it because it is not flashable yet.

To play it safe, I grabbed one 7.1.2 and one 8.0.0 factory image for the Pixel to put through the wringer (since this would be the first Pixel I've ever put through the paces).

Pie update available as of today (18 Jan 2019)

Got the Pie update notice today along with January security patch. My question is for those who, like me, waited until the official notification to update.
With so many here experiencing problems with the previous update(s), it's hard to distinguish which threads are for it, custom, or for the latest Xiaomi update. Did you update to Pie in January? Are there any issues you've noticed with the update? Should I pull the trigger on the update or wait?
Any info is appreciated, as always.
Regards,
KB

I just directly installed January update, migrated from Oreo. Didn't face any issues as of yet.
By the way how do you guys turn on FM Radio?

No data since update.
I did the update earlier today and haven't been able to get mobile data since. Can anybody help me?

I understand. I've not experienced many of the issues some have with the updates, though the battery issues a few updates ago were driving me crazy. Those seem to be resolved now and I can easily get 2 to 3 days out of a charge. The only reason I hesitated was I read some of the threads from the initial update Xiaomi put out, and was trying to be sure this one was less troublesome before allowing it. I saw a couple of folks complain about the loss of WiFi and Data on the first update, so perhaps all of the initial bugs haven't been squashed. I'm in Thailand, so need it to be as clean as possible.
Again, hope you get the issue resolved. Let us know if you do.

I am from Czech Republic and I can say I don't have any LTE issues, battery is great. No issues with Pie at all.

If you are a big fan of gcam.. Then dont update, else do it.
For me everything is working fine, except gcam focus issue.
Stock camera works though.

Well it works for me. Just unlock the bootloader, put the phone in fastboot mode, boot twrp cosmicdans from adb, flash magisk and when it boots open magisk and download camera patch for pie. It's really easy but i think when you unlock the bootloader you lose your data so think about it.

If you are stock 100% do it, if not hang out a while, no big issues now for stock, very few people on stock have had an issue with the latest Pie, those that do have very simple easily fixed things.

I have also lost my data connection since the update.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this problem?
EDIT : It seems that the update deleted the apn configuration. Re-entering it solved the issue.

Based on the positive responses I went ahead and did the update since my A1 is stock. So far so good with no issues I've noticed. Both data and wifi seem to be working properly.
Thanks for the responses!

After updating to pie many of the users including myself face an issue where the mic volume has reduced a lot. Other people can't hear me properly on normal voice calls

Thank you for confirming that,
After rooting, and installing the magisk patch, can I completely unroot and lock the bootloader, and will the patch still work?
Will unlocking the bootloader also wipe data?
(i thought only locking bootloader will wipe, we can use the vol button trick)
Thanks in advance.

1. Unlocking bootloader wipes data
2. Does your phone contain nuclear weapon key? If no, then i don't see any reason you dont want a unlocked bootloader. (Manufacturer denying warranty for unlocked bootloader is thing of past, MI has no problem with it. Also you can lock phone just before giving it to MI store in any case)
3. As long as you install apps from playstore, i also dont see any problem with a rooted phone either.

That's why i wanted to unroot and keep the BL locked.
Will the vol down key avoid wipe for unlocking BL as well?
And will the patch work after unroot?

Everybody has installed it... It's been out for days

Went for it yesterday. With an "ultimate guide" here on forum. I was 9.0.17 rooted with twrp description problems. So I downloaded update (1.8Gb) from official One+ site. And did local update, and all the steps to keep root. After finally booting up I got message that Magisk Manager stopped working, but everything was fine. So cleared app temp memory, and settings (for Magisk only) and next boot everything was ok.

Nope... 100% stock, 9.0.17 is ROCK solid, g-pay, samsung pay work perfectly & there really isn't anything in 10 I can't live without yet. So, I
see no need to update for now.

I'm also not updating yet, at least until they fix the keyboard offset issue and other things I've read about.
Luckily you can just freeze the system update app with Titanium.

There is no keyboard offset issue and so therefore it's never getting fixed. Designs can change, but there isn't going to be a fix for something that isn't a problem.

Judging by all the people complaining about the empty space under the keyboard it does seems to be a problem, though.

There is a Magisk module to deal with that (immersive gestural Navigation for Android 10), and an adb command to change the size of the space. It's a deliberate thing from Google so they'll perhaps remove it later or no but staying with Pie just for that.....

It's not a bug, it's there for the swipe gesture, so that way you won't swipe the keypad when using gestures
Sent from my LG-G8 using Tapatalk

Question of the day. I've been waiting to do the A10 update for the issues it showed on the first days. I'm on a converted 6T from TMo, running 9.0.17. my major concern is the GPay thing I use it a lot. But researching here there's a way to make it work if I root the device. So can I update to 10.3.0 then root to get the GPay issue resolved with the Hide module on magisk? Or should I root on Pie then update?

This is pretty bad ux experience, and with the amount of complaints it seems and accidental keypress possibly when swiping is much better than losing all the text and keyboard closing with an accidental touch. At least give us the option to move it down, without having to go into ADB and setting an offset that then interferes with the way all apps render.
