hi if you are rooted with a custom recovery,you cannot receive updates from lg as it would mess your phone up, i actually thought that if you were just rooted with stock recovery and stock rom you could get and install updates but maybe verizon is different as they seem to be in a lot of respects

Here is the untouched recent OTA zip for devs to pick at.

I'm thinking of flashing this through recovery, doesn't remove root does it?

take it this is the same as the last one where you'd need to have stock recovery to install the update even if S-off? And even then you might temp lose your root access or no?

Wait for the developers to pick through it before doing ANYTHING. There is no reason to flash until its fully vetted. Relax have a beer or chocolate milk....patience...don't give in to the inner urge to upgrade just cause there is an upgrade....
Looking through the firmware.zip...I see all sorts of new stuff....possibly a new radio too?
I need help with my Verizion Galaxy S4, I rooted it once and I think I used Odin but an update made me lose it.

You're almost there. You need to install busybox and safestrap 3.72 or 3.75. Then look for roms that are safestrap compatible and flash away. Make sure you read the OPs before flashing. Some roms require extra files to flash.
Awesome thanks man I'll look into it

I've noticed on some LG G3's and LG G Flex 2 that at the very first screen with the LG logo, the powered by Android Logo has been updated to fit the lollipop degsin. How could I update that? I am running the lastest pre-root Barin rom for Lollipop (ZV8). I know its not nessary but I would like to update that.

Im pretty sure that it is part of the bootloader so it maybe kinda hard.

I though I read somewhere that you could change that very first screen without changing the entire bootloader?
Edit: I found its called the Splash Screen.. I've been finding forms for HTC devices.
If I remember right, it's actually built into the kernel.
That's why you don't see it in CM/AOSP Roms.
I'm running a pre-root Zv8 stock ROM. It hasn't changed the logo yet.
Its built into the firmware
Hi,
I just bought a sony xperia Z5compact from another guy that barely used it. He gave it to me with apparently, a stock ROM. But I dont know if the other guy did anything on the phone like rooting, unlocking, whatever.
But now I want to update from 6.0 to 6.0.1 and I cant do it. Neither in the phone, nor with the computer coz I get this error:
error: UEGetPhoneInfoFailure
UE_2003".
I checked more, and the phone has TWRP recovery and an Androdplus kernel. So it has been modified, but I dont know how to check the status of the bootloader or if it rooted.
I want to update the phone to 6.0.1. and I would like to have a stock rom and a locked bootloader. (because I read that custom rom and unlocking bootloader affect to the function of the camera).
How can I do it?
I am getting different information over the forum and the internet, and I am getting a bit lost...
the security thing from service info, stays like this

back up your data 'cause you'll likely need to flash the device.
reach out to your carrier first and see what they can do for you
Newbie question. What does "flash the device" mean ?
In short, flashing means installing a new custom rom or re-installing the stock rom due to some error or issues.

Flashing is basically installing the update manually because, in this particular case, it is failing to do so automatically.
