Android 4.3, automatic & customizable mapping of Shield controls to touchscreen controls, 60fps PC streaming, 1080p HDMI output, and more!
Already updated and can't find release notes online, so unfortunately I can't write them, but suffice to say you need to update NOW.
Does appear to remove root, but that shouldn't be too difficult to rectify.
Saweet baby jebus i gotta go update!

Neither. I just did a straight update. My Android familiarity is limited and I'm lazy. I figure it will be easy enough to re-root.
I keep getting a signature error during the update install, I've even done a full wipe and then updated again and the same thing. I can't get it installed.
I do have an unlocked bootloader, but that shouldn't keep me from updating =/ Would it be possible for someone to post the update zip?

If you are rooted and have removed any apps it would keep you from upgrading.
The new update is awesome, get it as soon as you can. I have moved all my games to the SD and have all the internal storage space back and the console mode is great with my moga pro.

Yeah has nothing to do with the bootloader... are you running a custom recovery? I'm not and mine worked. I was rooted and unlocked. Lost root, of course... but not sure I even need it now since full games can be moved and with the improved gamepad support.

Nah, never removed anything. Rooted for tincore and titanium backup originally.

Yep, clockwork recovery. I guess I'll have to flash a stock recovery image.
If anyone figures out how to restore root after this update please let me know. I'm having no luck using the old manual method.

Flash back to the original recovery first. You should be able to fastboot flash CWM after the OTA and get root back.
Thank you everyone, I flashed back to the stock recovery and was able to update no problem. Woohoo!
Can someone please tell me how I would flash back to stock recovery to update?

My apologies. I assumed it was to be done via some backup made during cwm install.
I flashed factory recovery but now when I boot into android (still 4.2.1) and do a "check updates" it says I am up to date. Is there some cache or settings I have to clear for it to recognize that the previous attempt failed so it will allow me to re-download and update again?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi,
Yesterday i downloaded SuperSU to my phone, and i delete it (i dont know why ) and after i delete it (from the Settings, not simple Uninstall)
i did Restart to my phone, and i saw that my SuperUser gone, but i still have ROOT access, all of my apps that need Rooted device worked.
After while, i read the discription and i saw that it should be like this, and that SuperSU switch SuperUser, so i downloaded it again.
So lets go to the point:
If i have stock ROM and stock Recovery, i can do Full Unroot from the SuperSU Settings? as i said, all completely stock, only ROOTED device, LG G2 D802.
I can do it without any problems? for sure?
Thank you so much !

I did with the same set-up as you and it worked fine. I lost my root access and tested with skygo which is very particular about not working with root and I could stream again using this.
I have supersSU pro which may make a difference.

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve? I was referring to having a stock rom and recovery installed before rooting the device to perform some tweeks then unrooting it again. The reason that I unrooted again was so that I could use skygo which requires an un-rooted device. I have moved onto the G3 now but, as far as I can remember, the only way to return to a stock recovery is to return your device to completely stock by flashing a kdz. If you tell me exactly what you are trying to achieve I may be able to be of more help.

My phone still says root in download mode and cannot run LG software update. I have stock ROM and recovery. Others say they have the same problem but no replies. Can anyone help?
I'm curious too. What I did was used Super User and did that "Clean Unroot" method and after I pressed it, it cleared and the app was gone. But, I had a back up of my stock before doing this and deleted all other roms and downloaded all my pics and wallpapers to my computer. But I don't know if I'm unrooted. How would I check that? I can still go to the play store and install Superuser, is that normal or shouldn't it not install?
There's another method which involves installing the LG flash tool, and a Stock factory firmware. Should I do that method or am I fine with the Superuser?
So recently I rooted my S4 with Kingo and went fine. After a few weeks, I decided to uproot to get the Lollipop OTA. Unrooted through SuperSU app then factory reset. Finished OTA download with no issueand then it failed after two attempts, saying error and I should try using Kies.
That's strange I thought. Then after looking through the phone again, I discovered GSam Root companion is now a system app that can't be uninstalled. Other than re rooting and re uprooting or flashing stock firmware, is there another option. My computer is currently under repair for a broken LCD, so any fix that doesn't need that would help. Thanks!

I then assume that you still run an old version of kitkat (because of the kingo root).
Why not reroot and delete the file? I think you can still use Towelroot because I think you are on an old version. That's an app that you need to install.
Do you have a custom recovery? And did you factory reset before trying to update ota?

Can't use towelroot and don't have a custom recovery. I'll re root once I get the update on Kies(borrowed a friend's laptop) , which currently isn't available yet.

What i don't understand is why you are so stuck on getting this OTA update... just borrow your friends laptop, and flash the Lollipop that you want through ODIN. Then factory reset, DONE...

Took it to Samsung and let them do that for me. Didn't lose any data either, and GSam Root let me Uninstall it afterward, which was something I didn't expect. Anyway, thanks for the effort guys!
This is a recently released OTA for Beta users by Lenovo anyone can install this if you are using the stock recovery. For TWRP some mods. should be done to the package.
Link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4gp1Lef7g4aT3B2N0otQjJZSUU/view
Install method : Just download and rename it to update.zip that's all, keep it in the root directory of the phone and boot into recovery to insatll the update.
P.S. This is not my work, this is directly from Lenovo. So, don't point your fingers at me if you do something wrong Anything you do is on your own and you should face the consequences
Updated using stock recovery by pressing vol+, vol- and power button simultaneously..
Facebook instagram video upload solved.
Camera swipe to gallery lag solve.
Ram management is still same
Sound quality on speaker and headphones increased.
Sudden stopping of music while changing songs using headphone buttons problem solved.
UI is very smooth, no lag, no heat issues.
In my openion you must update.

It can be flashed via the proper recovery for x3_row. But, yeah, system shouldn't be modified before applying OTA.

Did you ask in the carbon thread?
Chances are it was a wipe issue.
Did you wipe in stock or aosp recovery?
You can always get back to stock by flashing the stock firmware.
I did this via booting twrp then flashing to both slots.
So unlock storage in twrp, then go flash the ROM, reboot recovery and it'll change slot.
Then flash it again.
Then reboot
Should boot
If not boot to recovery again (not twrp) and wipe system and data.
Should work then..
I didn't have that issue when carbon myself
If push comes to shove there's a tool to get back to stock @meffles has suggested it a few times but I've not used it myself, although he has and he swears by it.
Probably a good way to go and won't be hard.

Meffles is your man or check in the thread..
Don't you connect in EDL mode?
Think it's like a lower level recovery mode that you get to without having the cable connected. The screen will be blank..
Then connect and if should show..
Least that's my loose understanding of it.
What does the thread say??
Ps: looks like the application has stopped responding..
Make sure you have ran it as an administrator and that all pre requisites are installed that the application requires..

Turn your phone off, and make sure you don't have any cables connected. Hold volume up + volume down for 20 seconds, then plug in the usbc cable whilst still holding the volume buttons. You should see it spring into life. If not, then you need to check your drivers, which is covered in the link I provided you with.
I've taken it to a shop for repair
