Hi,
my P760 is on V20B rooted and OTA updates are available.
Will I loose root if I upgrade?
(No, I can't use Lelus' method, offline flashing throws errors for me)
When I did the official upgrade from a V20B ROM rooted with Lelus method to V20C (directly on the phone, with a 9 MB patch), I kept root.
Ok, tried it, failed. When updating, I get a warning that my device is rooted and therefore unsupported.
When I temp un-root it (Voodoo OTA Root Keeper) I just get a message "installation failed".
So, looks like I'm stuck on V20B -.-

I experienced same warning when i was in ICS :laugh: but still i bypassed that warning, here's what i did
1. Used lelus method to root any firmware
2. Didnt install any root accessable apps
3. Didnt remove any bloatware
4. Did the OTA update and update was successful :good:
(if u have kdz then u can flash latest kdz again n obtain root by lelus method. If u don wanna download a latest kdz ,then follw these instructions, hope it helps )

Thanks for trying to help, but KDZ flashing doesn't work for me, I get an error that my device isn't connected (not a driver problem).

Not the driver problem? then what? perhaps USB port or USB cable.
Do you have LG PC suite? Can it connect with your phone via USB cable?
You can upgrade to 20C using it (it is also KDZ), of course you will loose root, but perhaps your drivers get better and then you could root via KDZ Lelus method.

Other than rooted, is your device stock? OTA will fail if anything in stock is modified or missing..

I successfully rooted my LG L70 with towelroot, but I have a problem now. I can't update the software on my phone from ms32310b to ms32310c. It downloads, reboots and appears to install and says system is up to date, but it's still at ms32310b and a couple days later says I need to download the update again. Will it not update because my phone is rooted now with towelroot? Does anyone know how I can maybe force the update so I can stop getting these update notifications? Thank you!
I seem to have this same problem but my phone is the ls740

I guess we have to use lg flash tool to manually flash the KDZ update file, but I'm not sure if updating will unroot the device since the new version in my case doesn't support root.
well on my phone i have CWM so i could probably find a zip to flash

if you root your phone mostly you do not get ota updates and if you get one and install it you lose root

This is absolutely correct. I rooted my LGMS323 with Towelroot (which worked beautifully I might add) but weeks later made the terrible oversight of approving an OTA update without thinking which nuked the root. I've been stuck ever since. Once you update to MS32310c there is NO EASY WAY of rooting your device (as of yet). The only way to reroot is to start over and downgrade from (c) back to (b) or (a) by flashing the KDZ as you mentioned. Because I'm without a machine at the moment and unable to do this I'm TRULY stuck. Don't be me! Stick with what you've got!

Thank you! I probably will. Unless of course they come out with a stable Lollipop rom, then I might be tempted to install Clockworkmod and check it out.
I have a VZ LG G3 that I rooted using StumpRoot. I am trying to do the Verizon system update to Lollipop. It downloads it and then it reboots, but almost immediately it shows me error 0x1117008, and then just reboots again and tells me the update failed. It doesnt give me any other info. Currently my phone shows Android version 4.4.2 and software version VS98511C and shows the Software status as Modified. Is there a way to get Lollipop? Would I have to unroot first? (If so, what is the best way? SuperSU offers me that option). I appreciate any help. Thanks.

You will have to flash back to either stock 12b via KDZ or go back to 10b and upgrade that way. Once rooted, you cannot update to LP via the OTA. Unrooting won't fix it either as it has already been modified.
If you flash back to 12b via KDZ, it will still show your software as modified, but the OTA will take.
Then you can use the one-click root method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951) to root LP.

Thank you for the reply. How do I go back to 10b? Also, if I want to use the KDZ method, can it be done with a Linux machine?
Thanks.

Not sure about Linux. I believe it all has to be done via Windows if using the KDZ or TOT methods.
Here is the link to flash back via KDZ:

10b is great, and everything just works. I am not sure why any one wants to "upgrade" to 23c given Google has not fixed the memory leak issues, but if you want to, read on.
If you have rooted, you do not want to upgrade by OTA. OTA is patches to the unmodified stock firmware. It will fail if your phone is in anyway modified. Here is what you can do:
1. Install TWRP manager from Google Play.
2. From TWRP manager you can choose your phone model and download and install TWRP recovery.
3. Follow the instruction from this link to use TWRP to install the 23c
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/rom-rom-base-lp-upgrade-bump-t3051884
Jasmine ROM is basically stock with root, which is probably what you want.

So Jasmine ROM also has the notification issues over Wifi or is that fixed with a mod of some sort?

There is an IPv6 fix that you can flash to solve it.
I upgraded using the Verizon tool on the computer. I was rooted.
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.

Well, yeah anytime a update via OTA is available unroot and revert the device to stock, the update is designed to go over a stock tablet.

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!

Will the same rooting procedure work fine after you have upgraded to Lollipop on the 7840? Wanted to try but not sure if everything will work. Also since i'm on a Mac the .bat file doesn't run out of the box...

@kage69 says no, only you guys with lollipop can confirm or deny if root works or not.

the tool flashes temp cwm but the tab dont boot to recovery
stays in bootloader where you can choose boot normal, power down and recovery
choosing recovery boots to stock recovery
there were errors while flashing, ill post them tomorrow
reading a book in bed on my lollipopped tab now
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
cant get to that without root

You tried to perform an OTA update while rooted?
Try a restart, if that doesn't work you can recover your phone using either lg bridge or lg up (using bridge is recommended for users who don't really know what they're doing).

I tried to update via PC and it fails there is another option to update to V10D without prejudice at the root?
Well then you'll have to flash the correct stock .kdz for your device using lg up and reroot. Instructions can be found in this thread.
I have same error with N update but device was never rooted... Clean stock soft. Any recommendations?

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.
