So I recently rooted my phone which is on Android 5.0.2 (T Mobile LG-H631) , and unrooted it using universal unroot since supersu wouldn't unroot my phone for me, and now i want to ota update the phone but when when i do, it starts to say installing update, but ends up with an android bot and error written underneath. I'm new to the rooting world and regret rooting since i know little about flashing roms and such, and with that being said, would like a not too difficult solution for my problem. Thanks!
Having same problem any fix yet?

Hi, appreciate this is my first post and thus my question will be regarded with a certain amount of skepticism.. am only posting cos I think my issue is unusual and have not been able to find a similar question/answer through my searches on this forum
Basically, the issue is I rooted my Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) a month or so ago, installed clockwork mod and superuser etc,. however I held off flashing a ROM because I figured my OTA jellybean update was imminent and wanted to see what the touchwiz jellybean looked like before installing Cyanogen or another ROM. wasn't sure if the OTA would come thru once I shed the stock ROM
So I waited for weeks for the OTA (am on Orange, now Everything Everywhere, in the UK) and have not received it.. last week I went onto Kies and saw there was a new firmware update, so I updated thru Kies thinking that might be what was needed to receive the OTA JB update. updated the firmware but still no JB update - however, now when I check my root status on Root Checker, or try to use any app that requires root, I'm told that I don't have "proper" root access.
My question is updating the firmware over Kies, did that mess up my root access.. am I now unrooted? (this doesn't seem correct) It seems to me I am in a limbo of sorts - not properly rooted anymore, but not fully unrooted either. I want to root the thing again so I can install cyanogen or supernexus, and I would appreciate advice on what to do - should I do a factory reset and then root again as before, or will this cause issues.. was just gon soldier ahead and do it but aware that this may cause problems if my phone already has files from the previous attempt on there.. for example the SGS3 toolkit V.6.0.0 I'm using says not to proceed with its root operations on a phone "that's already rooted" so am hesitant to proceed. Any advice would be appreciated. cheers
You've lost root with the update, just root again and it's all good.
Hey guys new around these parts... anyway.. I succesfully rooted the LG G3 using "Stump Root" on my friends phone... she enjoyed the benefits of having a rooted phone for about 3 weeks before she came in to work and told me her Pandora One and Pandora Patcher weren't working anymore... i checked Xpossed Installer thinking that was the problem... thats when i noticed the phone wasnt allowing me root access... when i open up SuperSU it says "there is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. this is a problem, If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root-consult the relevant forums for your device"... maybe she did a system update because her phone is showing Android 4.4.2... so that is why i am now here... asking for your assistance... I know i'm a newbee or whatever term might apply, but assistance would be much appreciated... everything else i have accomplished on my own so far, but one could say I'm a bit "STUMP-ed" on this one.. pun intended. please someone help me with re-rooting this LGg3... i hope fixing it is as easy as the initial "stump root" process.
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.
So i have a LG G3 Verizon running 4.4.2 and every time i try to update it fails at 2%. i thought i was having this issue because i was rooted so i uninstalled root via SuperSU. The update still didnt work. after that i decided to reinstall root and flash and update or something like that. but all the one-click root applications i try to use say my device is not supported. i now cannot update or re-install root and currently have no idea what to do.
Redundant thread. Replied to you in the other.
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*
