I have installed gohma 2.3 custom rom with twrp recovery and root and have taken gohma-gwatch-1.2 to get back 4.4 stock with stock recovery and unroot.
After that I clear all inside the recovery to have a fresh stock without old data. I got the setup and the paring to the phone and after I check for an update the lg told me that one is available and start the download.
After it was finished the watch boot into the recovery and start the flash but aborth with an error 7 message
Can anyone explain me why? After I start the watch again the update told me that 4.4 is latest and there is no update available.
The OTA is from 4.4 to 5.0.2 but now I dont get 5.0.1 like before. Another watch work fine with this method but why this one not? Andy ideas please
Same issue here. Returned to stock on 5.01 and when upgrading to 5.02 I get that error 7. Tried everything, wiped several times but no way to install.
thats strange because my own watch work fine with the downgrade and changing the recovery back to 4.4 stock. My dad can use the watch with 4.4 but I dont understand this :crying:
Solved. Used RootJunky v8 to go back to stock 4.4 and then flashed OTA 5.02. Worked.

Thank you sir :highfive: , you just saved my LG G Smartwatch!!! i wasn't able to update to smartwatch to the newest android wear 5.0.2 update without getting error 7 on recovery, i was using the LG G watch restore tool v9.5 to restore my watch and kept getting the Error 7 when trying to update, so i stumbled upon this forum and decided to use the v8 of the tool instead of the v9.5 and it worked perfect, i was able to update my watch to 5.0.2 without any errors :victory: i will share this news with other users that are in the same boat as i was and will give you the credit bro... awesome find really!!!

I recently purchased the GSM Moto G and unlocked the bootloader/rooted my device. The phone is running 4.3 android, but I want to install the latest 4.2.2 kitkat. I can download the software directly from the phone through the system updates menu in the settings. However, when I try downloading it, it says that the device must restart to install. When restarting, the phone loads up in the bootloader menu and never installs the update. Every time I try starting up my phone now, it automatically tries to install the update by restarting the device and loading up into the bootloader again. I can no longer use my phone now because it continues to restart the device. I do I install 4.2.2 if I've already unlocked the bootloader? Thanks in advance.

Hello my friend! I don't have a Motorola myself but i did my best to do some research. First thing you want to know is that if you can download OTA update (the updates from your manufacture) you don't need to have an unlocked bootloader and some manufactures stop giving you OTA updates if you are rooted (Idk about Motorola but Samsung, Lg do this). You want to unlock your bootloader if you want to flash a custom Recovery and later install Custom ROM not when you want manufacture update. Here is a tutorial on how to flash your MOTO G to the last 4.4.2 using ADB. When you download the firmware be sure to download the good one. Good luck.

Can I simply flash a 4.4.2 firmware or must I flash a 4.3 version and download OTA update from my device?

You can just flash 4.4.2 from start so you don't need to update from 4.3. There is no problem my friend. Good luck.
I rooted my z2 (.167 4.4.4) and then let it update back to kitkat which kept the root (though i cant update supersu).
How would i go about installing a recovery (dual?) now since i missed that step before. would i need to downgrade again?
if so ill just leave it for now as im not going through that process again
Have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-sony-ric-killer-t2953141
Thank you I'll check it out when I get back from work.
Hi, i am rooted VS985 with king root, installed TWRP and on Stock 4.4.2 and rooted for deleting all pre loaded verizon and amazon apps and did some changes in system folders like hidden menu etc .. all deleted not today when i connected my PC software assistance tool , it says update is available.. see thumbnails
Now, i am confused if i update my rooted device , can i brick my phone?
please someone guide me, should i go for this update or NOT??
If you ran the update through the tool it would fail since you are rooted and don't have stock recovery installed anymore. It's good practice to never update the phone via OTA or tool if you are rooted and/or have a custom recovery installed.
To update to the latest firmware, use twrp to flash the 35B (5.1.1) version of Skydragon, jasminerom, or xdabbeb's in the Verizon G3 android development section. All are stock based ROM's and run great. 5.1.1 has been a godsend for this phone. Much smoother and better battery life.
I have my T-Mobile LG V-10 rooted with Sir-Altus rom currently.
Without starting a fight or anything, I am trying to find out how I could go about restoring my phone to stock to be able to accept the Marshmellow update successfully without bricking my phone.
I understand that there is a difficulty in rooting Marshmellow and I am OK with that.
Can anyone link to a step-by-step on how to restore my phone to fully stock so I can accept the Marshmellow update and apply it?
Thank you,
Whiteice

Should be pretty straight-forward. Also as an FYI, you now CAN root you LG V10 starting from 6.0 (Marshmallow) stock. So there's really not much risk involved. I think the upgrade from 5.1.1 to 6.0 relocks your bootloader so...i don't think you have to do much. If you have an upgrade option in your settings on the phone you can take it or you can go to the LG website and download the software and follow the steps. http://www.lg.com/us/support/mobile-software-updates
Can I accept the update on the phone rooted and with TWRP installed?
"I wouldn't do it by just downloading the update and installing it through the ui", you'll probably get stuck in a boot loop on the lg logo boot screen! Try researching kdz or tot flashing! Youll then only have to click a few times on your PC and after that the file should just upgrade the phone through your USB hub
You can uodate using Eliminater74's Rom.
Flash Part 1 - Dont Reboot
Flash Part 2 - Dont Reboot
Flash Super SU
*in Eliminater74s Rom OP it says to use Fastboot again to OEM unlock. Just read it thoroughly*
please help me. ive been dealing with issues with my v10 since i tried installing a custom rom this morning. i had to factory reset my phone and bring it back to 5.1.1 after accidentally softbricking it. now i want to update it to 6.0 to see if i can smooth out some of the many issues that suddenly rose (phone restarting upon trying to uninstall things, settings crashing when opening the security tab among many others) and trying to install the ota via flashfire didnt work. so i just want to completely relock the bootloader and unroot my phone and just get it back to normal. can someone please help me.
(im sorry im just so tired ive been dealing with this since this morning, its now 4am)
FIXED: just used the lg up client to install the marshmallow kdz. everything is working fine now.
Any luck???
