Sorry for the probably stupid question. I'm still generally new to Android.
I'm on 4.1.2 rooted. How do I update to 4.3? I can't do it OTA, right? Is there a single zip file I need to download onto the phone and install?
Any help is greatly appreciated! I'm somewhat technical, but this is all new to me as I've been with an iPhone for the last 5 years until the HTC One.
delete root with superSU and OTA or manually zip http://www.htc.com/us/support/news.aspx?p_id=628&p_name=htc-one-att (all data gets erased with manual update)

Thanks. So my only 2 options now are to update OTA and lose my root, or manually update and lose all of my apps/settings/data? That sounds fun
I think I'm in the same boat. Im rooted and running Scott's CleanROM 1.26.502.12. Over the past couple days, my phone keeps downloading and installing a ~245mb OTA but update still always shows 1.26.502.12. the version never increases. I'm also not getting the 4.3 OTA update. I originally installed this CleamROM back in May. So I'm pretty sure this rom is able to get OTA updates.
Im just not sure why I'm getting OTA updates which are not increasing the software build number

I followed this thread to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
I think I used the Root66 stock VRALJB I don't remember. My phone model number says SCH-I605, the Android version is 4.1.1, Baseband is I605VRALL4, Build number is JRO03C.I605VRALJB. I don't know if the kernel number is necessary because it's really long to type out, but if you need it I will post it.
Then I unlocked the Bootloader using AdamOutler's thread and now I have a custom TW recovery thing.
When I try to do the update in the Settings, it reboots to the TW recovery and doesn't do anything. When I select to turn on the phone with the TW recovery, it says the update failed. Someone told me that I shouldn't do that update because it's something called OTA and it's bad for my rooted phone, but then how do I know when I need an update? Do I have to check this forum every day for announcements? Which thread will the updates be in?
Thank you
The update option in settings is for Verizon OTA updates. OTA stands for over-the-air. The updates are sent to your phone using the Verizon data network. After the update is loaded onto your phone, it reboots into stock recovery to install the update. Since you have a custom recovery, (TWRP, I believe), the update will always fail. I see that you have the latest baseband, which is really the only reason for taking the OTA update to begin with.
Now that you have a custom recovery, you can flash any of the wonderful 4.1 ROMs that we have at our disposal. I'm currently on Jedi X11 and I recommend that, but there are more to choose from. One word of caution: if you decide to flash a 4.2 ROM, then you can't go back to a 4.1 ROM unless you flash the sd card downgrade .zip file. This is because 4.2 will change your directories around. I will try to link to a thread with the downgrade zip in it on another post.

Here is the link to that thread. The downgrade .zip is in the third post

I haven't installed a ROM because I want to keep all the stock stuff, but if there is a ROM that keeps all the stock but somehow increases speed, then I'd install it but I don't know of any that don't not have some stock stuff removed.
The annoying thing is that the phone keeps telling me to update every 3 days and I don't like it. Is there a way I can stop this without doing anything bad to the phone?
While it's true that all ROMs are not 100% stock, you have to ask yourself what you really want to keep. The ROM I'm running is Touchwiz-based, which means it has all the S-Pen apps along with true multi-window functionality. The stuff that I left coming from pure stock was mostly bloatware.
Either way, if staying on pure stock is all that you want and you want to stop receiving the OTA update notices, then you need to use an app that can freeze other apps. Freezing means that the app is disabled, will no longer appear in your app drawer, and will not start up when you boot the phone. I use Titanium Backup to freeze apps. I recommend freezing apps over outright deleting them because you may inadvertently soft brick your phone that way.
Once you have Titanium Backup or another app with the same functionality, then you need to find and freeze SDM 1.0. It was mentioned in this post here:

I will add that I am not sure why you would unlock your bootloader if you didn't intend to flash any ROMs. The act of unlocking the bootloader is what took away your stock recovery and causes your OTA updates to fail when the installation process starts. You may want to research how to get your phone back to 100% stock if you want to be able to take updates in the future.
I updated my Note to JB 4.1.2 using KIES. After that I installed TWTR 2.5, and rooted my NOTE. Now I want to go back to stock Recovery, so I can reveive any future OTA updates, but I cannot find the flashable .ZIP anywhere. Does anyone know if it even exits? I googled and searched the forums everywhere but I can only find the Gingerbread recovery. If anyone knows where can I find the stock recovery for JB let me know.
Thank you
:good:
Just go back to kies and select firmware update again. It will unroot and reinstall 4.1.2. The only thing it won't do is clear your flash counter. But you'll be stock with the stock recovery again.

I was looking to just getting back the stock recovery without having to flash the whole ROM again. I have reinstalled the stock ROM before using ODIN, and that get's rid of the flash counter. What Im looking is for a way to:
a) install STOCK ROM
b) install CWR or TWTR, and install Root zip
c) reinstall the stock Recovery (I believe 3e) and keep root.
d) be able to install OTA update if it comes.
I dont want to have to install STOCK ROM whenever a OTA update comes out. Or maybe im mistaken, and reinstalling stock recovery breaks root?
Anyone knows if it's possible?
I don't think I we'll even see another update. Note is reaching EOL.
Even with stock recovery... the update will most likely fail because you're rooted.
recovery doesn't have anything to do with root either. Root is only for when booted into the os.
Instead of going to stock with Odin to get the update... how about just going to samfirmare.com and getting the Odin package of whatever update may come and just installing that with Odin?
That's your best bet. Tbh

With my wife, brother, and sister-in-law's Note 2's, were rooted with CF-Auto-Root, kept stock recovery, and were able to install the OTA update successfully. That's 3 Notes, so it's not a fluke, or a one-off. They lost root, but was easy to root again using CF-Auto-Root to get it back.
So I suspect that having the stock recovery can enable me to install a OTA update, if one comes to the NOTE 1. I love to keep it as simple as possible. I don't have any trouble getting the Odin update package, but that requires one extra step. Im just being curious why nobody has the flashable stock recovery.
Couldn't find a clear answer to this... as we all know, Lollipop on the G3 is coming very soon, and i couldn't be more excited. However, i have my phone rooted and the TWRP[bump] recovery on my G3 and i just need to know, do i need to unroot in order to download and install the OTA update when it finally comes?
also, I currently have been using the G3 tweaks app with xposed framework and was wondering if that would cause me problems when the update happens.
Thanks in advance for your time guys.
You will need to .tot via Flashtool back to zv4. Firmware. You will get stuck in twrp. I would not advice just unrooting and flashing restore stock recovery .img. The guide is all over. Including files and walkthrough videos via YouTube. Its very painless.

Did the same. Rooted using Stumproot. After OTA to zv6, no more root. SuperSU states "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. ..."
How do you re-root? I tried running Stumproot again but it says that the phone is already rooted.
Thanks for the assistance.

Maybe go back to ZV4 as Droid2drummer suggested. Then root.
Finally flash the BarRin-ZV6 ROM for a rooted LG G3 with the ZV6 software
Don't ever take an ota on rooted phones people..... Smh
^^^^^^^^^^^^ this. Duh.
Ok, so just to try it out (i'm not scared of softbricks) i did try to take the OTA update today that FINALLY came to my phone (i can only assume its the zv6 update, though it does not say) and let it install.. well it got me stuck in a TWRP bootloop. I managed to get back into the OS with a couple terminal commands but obviously i would not like to try that again and it did not successfully update and just remove root (as suggest it may above) so a fair warning to any future thread lurchers out there.
so on too my query,
if you lose root in zv6 and can't get it back.. will the same be true of lollipop? will we have to wait for a new root method?
and my second question is this; is there any way to simply unroot without actually flashing stock firmware? cause I CANNOT get the LG windows drivers to cooperate with me.. i install them and the phone still comes up with "drivers for this device not installed" in device manager. it says LGE Android Phone with the yellow driver error icon next to it.
the most important thing i need help with right now is getting those drivers working so i can unroot my phone to prepare for lollipop. i have the firmware, LG flash tool and .dll ready for the flash..
thanks for your responses thus far and any future help. i appreciate it.
Don't unroot just wait for the rooted zip to flash when it comes out..... Smh
ok... well if i'm waiting on that then how can i remove this pending update notification from my drawer? it let me click "later" a couple times but now its just a terribly annoying sticky that won't go away..
Remove OTA Update(and notification)
If an OTA notification is on your device you most likely already have the OTA file on your phone. If rooted, you can remove the OTA files and get rid of that annoying notification.
Updates are found in the /cache/ folder on your phone. Using a RootExplorer-type app(or ES File Explorer) browse to the root of your phone(NOT the root of your internal storage, /sdcard/, but the actual phone). If using ES File Explorer you may have to use the "show hidden files" option and grant the app root. You will see the update .zip file in cache if you did everything correctly. If no one has already uploaded the OTA zip.. copy the update to your sdcard and then upload for everyone else. Now delete the zip file from /cache/.
Deleting the file in /cache/ will get rid of the OTA but will not get rid of the notification. To get rid of notification:
1. Pull the notification shade down on your phone
2. Long press on the OTA notification until you see the App Info option pop up.
3. Click App Info and uncheck the Show Notifications box.

are you able to capture the updates

apparently this is a 2-part update
part 1 is a build where the last three characters are NK4. this is a kitkat ROM that was likely used to prepare for lollipop
part 2 is the actual lollipop build, OC1. i think it's 5.0.1 but i'm seeing conflicting things from the internet
for some reason verizon likes doing major updates this way (i dont think they did it for jelly bean to kitkat though). but i've had a few of their phones, they've been doing two-part updates since the original galaxy s in 2010 lol
Hey everyone! Has anyone solved the mystery of the lollipop update fail? Seems alot of us are getting the first update without any issues, but the lollipop update is failing. It gives error 402, which one person at Vz told me was an error thrown due to having root. ( I don't have root ) Any suggestions appreciated!

Still fails.
I was rooted at one time - not rooted anymore.
I do still get the "custom" boot screen with the padlock though...
Can someone that has taken the OC1 ota update test to see if the 4.4.2 kernel has been blacklisted by:
1. Flash the I545_NK4_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 using Odin. The device will not boot after flashing but we are just interested to see if the kernel will successfully flash.
2. To go back to normal flash the I545_OC1_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 also in Odin.
This is the first test to determine if a downgrade workaround will be available for those that took the OC1 ota update.

I had the same custom boot screen--even after unrooting. Tried using Triangle Away to reset the binary count, but the count was already at 0. So ultimately I had to re-flash the NC5 kernel via Odin to get things truly back to being recognized as stock.
Then updates started rolling in for NG6, then NK1. Finally the two-part update for Lollipop.

Looks like Verizon is pushing 24B update today. Very minor fixes but it's not showing up on my phone yet. Here is Verizon's release for it. http://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/benefits-lg-g3-7-9-15.pdf?null
Hmm. Do the interruptions mean that they have fixed notifications on wifi? It seems a bit cryptic.
Does anyone know if there will be issues if you try to take this OTA while rooted?
I am still on 23a. The OTA is not showing up and the upgrade assistant is of no help either.
Going to wait and see if we can flash back to a previous version, especially if root and bumping are locked out. Don't want it and currently, LP is running pretty well for me (has been since April when I upgraded to it). I haven't rooted as of yet either. Don't have a need for it right now and want to wait and see when the next big OTA comes out or if this upcoming one does fix the WiFi sync issue completely.

As a general rule, with ANY phone, running ANY software, do NOT take ANY OTA's while any modifications have been made to your system (this includes rooting, custom recovery, etc.). Could it go through? Maybe, no one really knows until some bonehead tries and it fails or a trusted member of the community lets people know. If it doesn't, you're in for much more of a headache than the update benefits you, and possibly much worse. Your only options should be either to 1) wait until someone releases an updated rom based on this update (which this update is pretty near worthless anyways - doesn't contain anything major), or 2) tot or kdz back to stock and upgrade without any modifications.
I am still waiting on it to show up on my phone for OTA. I'll upgrade to it and let you know if it fixes the wifi bug.

It looks to me like the update might have fixed the wifi bug. I uninstalled DNSet and sent an email to myself and I got the notification right away. I am restarting now to see if that makes any difference.
I'm stock/rooted (no bump) on 23C right now. I have not changed any system files from what I can recall. I'm currently running a titanium backup.
Once that's done, I'll unfreeze my frozen apps and I'll accept the OTA. Hopefully, I'll retain root. Through all of the previous updates with this phone, I have no lost root in taking an OTA.
I'll report back in around a half hour or so.

Can someone verify if they can root with the latest one-click root method and if you can revert back to a previous version to bump (KDZ or TOT)? I want to make sure they haven't locked out the ability to bump.
Well that didn't go so well. Upon rebooting to start the install, I quickly got an error message at the 1% mark

Are you rooted and/or bumped? If you rooted and then unrooted (but didn't flash back via TOT or KDZ), then the system image is modified, even if you removed root as rooting modifies the system partition. Therefore, no OTAs will be accepted until you flash back to pure stock via TOT or KDZ.

I'm just rooted.
I know I've accepted OTAs in the past on my LG G3 while rooted and it worked fine. I didn't even try to unroot (this time or previous times).
Posted a link to the OTA files in @bweN diorD 's thread [REFERENCE] Stock IMG files + Stock Links & Mods.
I do believe if you were rooted going from KK to LP, it definitely didn't work and it could be this time around, if you used the new one-click root, it does the root differently to the point that it won't allow an OTA. I do remember I could update from 10b to 11c to 12b rooted as long as I had preserve root enabled in SuperSU. But, going from 12b to 23c rooted was a no-go and you had to flash back to stock. So, I'm going to chalk this up to the new one-click root method has done something that won't allow even a minor OTA from 23c to 24b to be allowed.
My freshly flashed 23C KDZ is a quarter of the way optimizing, then I'll take the OTA and try the one-click root again. After that, I'll test reflashing the 23C KDZ once more.
Edit: Update...weird. Under JasmineROM 7.0 (no debloat or mods, but rooted), it gave me the OTA, which I then moved from it's folder. Now that I've flashed the 23C KDZ in CSE mode, now it says I have no updates. I'll reboot and try again. If I have to I'll use the Activity Launcher method to run the OTA I already downloaded.
Update 2: Haven't had any luck applying the update with the "Activity Launcher" method. FOTA starts, the phone reboots but just boots the ROM and I have a notification that it failed to update. System Updates still claims I don't have an OTA available even though I did under JasmineROM 7.0 (rooted but not debloated and not modded).
I left my work WiFi, and came back. Google notifications are still working, and calls are still ringing Hangouts. MS Outlook app notifications are also working.

I had to read this 4 times to make sure there weren't any "not" in front of "working."

I can give that a try and see if it behaves any differently than the file I downloaded, but I doubt it. I would put this on my sdcard and then what?
So if the OTA fails on my stock/rooted phone, is there any way to get to 24B without a losing everything? If that's not available today, is that something that typically would be available at some point?
