Update 12/23/13:
XDA member shelnutt tipped me that freegee (free app on play) supports flashing twrp and cwm on 12b. I did it. Works. Back in bidness guys. Throw a thanks at shelnutt over in the 12b ota thread for the help.
But can you install a recovery?

Nope. Whatever the "Google Security Update" was had nothing to do with root.

Which TWRP file. I have tried many methods and files and all I get is the phone stuck on a black screen at boot. I can boot it back up, but it seems to corrupt the recovery. A link would be great. I returned to stock 10b, took the 2 OTAs then rerooted, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
How do we know you're not really a spy working with vzw to make us lose root!

Lol bc my name is breakingvzw and I've been helping folks with vzw root things on the HTC one forums and before that on the droid razr.
Also you don't lose root.

Attention Everyone... You can keep your root if you use voodoo, yes... However, good luck getting anything other than a stock recovery. The Loki bypass on the bootloader is what I believe the "security" patch is. I tried using Flashify, Root Recovery installer, etc none worked. Black screen on recovery. Tried to push recovery through ADB only to find that the partition was denying access to write to it. However I did manage to flash stock firmware and get my custom recovery back with no issues. So, if someone can get a recovery going, that's great please tell us exactly how you did it, but everyone else consider yourself warned. Lol... And in all honesty, the camera seemed improved... Lighting wise that's it... Touch screen still acted retarded for me.

Did not seem to break root, i'm using LBE privacy guard and it's still running the active protection service. Is there another easier way to test if root is still working?

I deferred the update until 2/25 the latest it would allow me to put it off. I eventually want to root and use a custom Rom I am coming from the Motorola droid x2 and CM7 and know nothing about HTC phones. Should I let the update go through or is there something I should do to stop it?

If you haven't unlocked your bootloader and you let it go through then you will not be able to root your device for the time being.

Do not allow the OTA to go thru. Root your phone and install the Mod by Justin (nitsuj) to get rid of the ota notification. If you want to root and not change your stock DNA it is possible. Then you can flash the custom rom of your choice later. My advice is to read up on all roms and kernels. How-to's before you root and make your decision on the best route to go. If you need help look for a RD/RC (Recognized Dev/Contributor) and some one will be happy to assist you. Or you can always post openly in the Q&A sections.

I have been reading thorough the returning to stock post in lg general Dev. A lot of people are softbricking or bootlooping by flashing OTA an edited recovery.
Before you flash any OTA you must return to stock.
Just a word of warning. If I'm misinformed someone please correct me but that's what I got from reading.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm sure anyone that would be looking in the development threads would be looking for development so they might pass over this thread. In turn they will end up 'softbricking' their device because they didn't return to stock before hand.
You should have posted this is the correct place.
Now everyone's phones are going to be messed up.

if you can get in recovery, you are fine. Just have to clear some files and it will boot fine. It's "soft bricked" because it keeps trying to apply the OTA.
Sprint has an OTA?

If you have a nandroid backup, you should restore it. As soon as you restore it, you should flash back to stock. Then after your phone is clean, take the OTA and then root.

I'm not sure I've just seen lg in general has had updates being pushed.
However if we are on stock rooted ROM, shouldn't we be able to push the OTA? I'm not that versed in this.

Safe thing to do is to always flash back to stock to avoid any issues.
EDIT: Don't quote me on this but according to a Sprint G2 user in the thread below that if you have the stock recovery and didn't flash TWRP, you should be able to take the OTA without having to flash back to stock.

Good Info
Thanks for the post. I myself was applying the software downloads for my D800 At&t Variant. I am currently stuck right now and your explanation helps make a little sense of what is happening to my phone. I was stuck at the cm boot animation and tried to do a wipe and restore and a bunch of other stuff and nothing was working. Decided to flash back using the software from that thread, however the flash was listed as successful, but upon getting to the main screen of the os, keyboard doesn't come up, no signal or wifi, then after a minute or two the phone will just reboot. My thoughts are either that I have the OTA software missing key components from the original stock, or my efs is shot, in which case I am concerned. Just got this phone and would love to fix it. I will hunt for original software.
I had done a full lg stock backup through CWM and then exported that to my computer. Would that contain my efs info?
Thanks
