I wonder how did you find the file? Downloaded from any link or found in phone? Where it is stored after download in phone?
PS: Added as Update file in my Rom Collection Page. Thanks a lot.
EDIT: Is this a FLASHABLE ZIP? How to install?
The folders inside are as shown in screenshot attached.

The OTA update showed up in /cache. My device was notifying me of an update. I noticed the size of the update was ~24Mb so I searched for large files on my device and found it.
I was not able to extract the zip for some reason. I am glad you were able to.
We can't install this via fastboot since the zip doesn't have a "android-info.txt" file, maybe we can find out the way the phone use to install the zip to make and flash a zip for root
In terminal emulator I can't access /cache without root, can you?

I was wondering how did you get it on 10E without root, but T-Mobile 10E is rootable
Anyway I upgraded via OTA to an unrootable firmware and root is still here, but someone said that root disappear after an OTA update.
maybe with root keeper from playstore tmobile users can update to 10G, I hear that 10G (EU) firmware is better then the older.

Good to know.
Anyway these updates zip can be usefull if we know how to install them.
Example: I' haven't the europe open firmware, I've got a firmware from my carrier and if I install the 10A europe (via KDZ) I can't update to 10E or 10G because the phone will find only updates from my carrier... Whit a zip I should be able to update to the europe open firmware.
Someone should grab these zips and collect them :good:
How do i install the downloaded update off my phone? Also does anyone know what changes that occurs?
Sent from my LG-P769 using xda premium
Wifi tethering fix and some sort of security fix. You will loose root!
I am wondering if voodoo root keeper would allow you to restore root after the update. If you try it let us know.
Nah im not updating then. It doesnt address anything worth my time.

idk but I wasn't able to update the OTA
You can re-root using a new method, but I think they patched Stumproot. Also, the "bump" process to made thinks like TWRP and custom roms loadable was also broken, though you can get around that by flashing an older version aboot image, somehow.
If you have made any changes to system files, like you would want root for, you cannot OTA successfully. You can use the Verizon Software Update Tool though, or the new .kdz file. The Update tool replaces your whole phone image though, so no trace of root will be left afterwards.
But, then you can re-root.

The only reason I have/need root access is to bypass the hotspot charges. So I could do the OTA, which would unroot my phone and then reroot using what? And where is a good place to find the files and such?

Maybe this isn't the answer that you're looking for, but the easiest way to upgrade from rooted and with custom recovery on any release is to flash JasmineROM v7.0 and then the latest SuperSU.zip. JasmineROM v7.0 itself, without the separate mods or debloat zips, is 100% stock official release OTA 23C_01, besides the necessary partitions in order to keep your working custom recovery with it.
You can do the LG Backup from the settings menu for everything, then restore it under JasmineROM to keep everything that's possible.

Well, it might be due to the root-script.
EDIT: Turns out the root was not the problem. It was the developer edition firmware. I flashed the new firmware from the OTA update separately and now I'm booting fine.
If you have this exact problem, unbrick instructions here:
Try using Phone Flash Tool from the Dell site, and this zip:
https://mega.co.nz/#!Vgw1CTYT!y1_tSTCMmzrhJSQy0lxwY59iyRhdJovC-IDMF25PB4k
It's the new boot firmware binaries packed in the developer edition firmware zip with the xml changed to point to the new files.
For the flashing process of this zip, start with the tablet completely off and disconnected, then in Phone Flash Tool, load the zip file, click "Start to flash" (the button near the bottom should be blue/clickable), then once it's counting attempts (attempt #0, attempt #1, etc.) then connect USB. It should proceed to flash.

What is the process to unroot on our device?
Install es file explorer or root explorer.
Grant root access to the app.
in es you need to enable root explorer in the settings menu.
Go to
Code:
/system/bin
delete su (mine was not locate in here)
/system/xbin
delete su (mine was here)
/system/app/Superuser.apk delete this
SuperSu has a selection of uninstall options in the app's menus.

I've applied plenty of OTAs in the past to other devices on top of rooted systems, and never had a problem as bad as bootlooping.
(Not saying it's not my fault, as I knew there was a risk, I guess I was just running on a series of good luck, or maybe other companies write better OTA pre-checking features.)
good you mentioned this
supersu - complete unroot - update worked
i forgot to uninstall xposed - modifications where gone after reboot (batterie percentage etc. from gravitybox)
has anyone tried rooting after update? could the kitkat method work?

It's hard to say, as lollipop was just released, only you guys with lollipop can test and see.
Neither SDC nor myself have lollipop so we can't test.

On mine, I forgot to un-root with no issues, but it defaults to encrypting the tablet and now I can't re-root.
Hmm, I also had the developer firmware installed from their opensource site; maybe that's it? The only other thing would have been Busybox, I think...
EDIT: HEY IT WORKS! I just pulled the firmware binaries out of the update.zip, and flashed with xfstk-downloader, and now I'm on the Encrypting screen! Thanks!

hope we can root it again, need that for customizations and airaudio
see u tomorrow
So how were you able to flash after bootlooping the first time when you tried to update with root? I cannot get into the bootloader or anything :silly:
Does any one have the ota so I can patch the stock firmware to investigate rooting it?
might be stored in cache i think

I have no idea if these will be any use to anyone. We were able to manually apply the 10B to 11C, 11C to 12B, and 12B to 23C OTA files but I didn't have any luck trying to do the same with the 23C to 24B OTA file so I don't expect anything since then to work either.
If anyone tries or figures out a way to apply the 24B, 35B, 46A or 47A OTA manually to an unrooted VS985, I'm sure some who both don't root their phone and also don't use Verizon will be made happy. If anyone does test it or figure out how to manually apply it, let me know and I'll post a link to your method.
The files are captured from root/cache/fota after downloading, but before applying the update.

The updates through 23C will work if you're rooted as long as everything else is completely official stock. No custom kernel, no custom recovery, etc. You won't have root once you use the OTA to get you to 23C, however, plus the About Software menu will show your status as "Modified" due to the prior root.
I haven't had any luck so far trying to implement the method of manually applying the OTAs (starting with 23Cto24B) without root by way of @xdabbeb 's instructions in these two threads. I don't know what else to try.
By the way, I had no idea before now that @xdabbeb was the one who had discovered and made guides to this method.
VS98024A - OTA manual install + Patched Stock Kernels
and
VS980 Resources - Bootstacks/Modems/Manual OTA/etc at the bottom of the first post in the section "Manual OTA".
I've tried both via Activity Launcher and ADB without any success. The black screen with the blue lettering "FOTA Easy Update" pops up but eventually goes away without it doing anything. The best I've gotten is possibly a reboot with a notification saying Software Update Failed after the reboot.
In summary, these instructions will ONLY work up through the 12Bto23C OTA.
1. Create a folder on your internal storage called "SoftwareUpdate", exactly like that.
2. Put the largest file for the OTA you want to apply (will only work on the "from" version, i.e. the 12Bto24B will only work if you have official and with no custom recovery stock 12B) in the folder from step #1.
3. Rename the file so that it has the extension ".up" at the end. In other words, rename "dlpkgfile" to "12Bto24B.up", just for example.
4. You can use an app in the Play Store called Activity Launcher (there are probably other methods) to start the OTA process by finding the right activity in the list. I don't remember the exact specifics but if I have time sometime, I'll post details and screenshots.
If anyone has any corrections for my instructions, please let me know.
If anyone can find a way to apply the 24B and later OTAs manually, they will require 100% completely official UNrooted (and never rooted since the last time you used a KDZ or TOT) stock, and again with no custom recovery or kernel.
Thanks to @DeanGibson for providing the OTA update PDFs (Verizon started using HTML pages instead of PDFs after 24B).

When 35B originally came out, I wasn't motivated enough to capture the OTA files since I didn't have any luck with trying to manually apply the 24B OTA and I figured it hadn't improved with 35B.
I guess for completeness sake I'll capture the 24Bto35B OTA and put it up too. I have copies of the 10Bto11C and 11Cto12B ones too, so same with them.
I'll post here when 24Bto35B is up. Not sure if it'll be tonight, tomorrow or when.
I guess this will become the OTA repository.

renaming to 46.up and copying to SoftwareUpdate folder on sdcard and using the am start -n com.lge.lgfota.permission/com.lge.lgfota.permission.DmcEzUpdateStart method will start the update process for me on 35B but since im rooted when it restarts it just tells me the software update fails.

I'm guessing a terminal command, but not sure. I'm pretty sure it's the same as what I described in the first post using Activity Launcher from the Play Store. Look for DmcEzUpdateStart towards the bottom of the list of activities.
It is the same as finding the activity only doing it through adb shell, because when I try to start the activity directly from the phone it tells me permission denied. I still dont know if it will complete because i myself can't do it, but if you wanna try you have to be completely unmodded.

No you cannot. Once you download and try to install on rooted, it will give you installation error. You can flash stock KDZ and then update but in that case you will lose root.
You can update manually using LGUP.After update you have to root again.
Hi,
like others I had issues with the update via kdz file (V20e - some intialisation error at the beginning of the update process). What also works with no issues (except you have to install TWRP and root again) is the update via LG Bridge. It does basically the same LGUP does with the kdz-update. There is no loss of data as well. Worked fine for me.
I want to download the new update to my phone but i cant find it anywhere. Does anybody know how to get the firmware files from the device? I have a rooted device.
If you want to update your device, you have to unroot it first.
Which method did you use to root?
