Should I update 10d (rooted) - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Hi, I saw about the quad rooter issue, and today I checked the ota update. (I never had an ota update because I always been rooted, s3, s5 and g5)
But now it purpose the 10d update. (450mo)
I'm 10c h850 rooted.
Should I make this update?
Will I lose root? (Rooted via twrp super su)
If I have to re install everything (apps, datas, root), maybe should I wait for 7 nougat don't you think?
Thanks.

It won't install the update anyway with twrp installed. It'll just fail and reboot. Wait until your ROM devs rebase your ROM on the new base.

Thanks, it was stock rom. But yeah I don't think it's worth if I make a fresh install with android 7.
As you said I'm affraid about the bootloop issue.

Not bootloop, just because you have custom recovery installed the stock update process will not complete even on stock Rom, you'd need to wait for a flashable version of the update or you'd have to flash stock recovery back to your device first.

I just used LGUP without any issues. Pretty painless.
Then flashed TWRP again, and flashed my ROM of choice.
The only tricky part was quickly getting into TWRP after you flash TWRP. It reboots and if you're not quick enough, TWRP will be overridden by the stock recovery. Then you just need to repeat (flash TWRP again, get into TWRP and flash ROM).

Lost root after flashing ROM

I rooted my LG G3 with StumpRoot. Everything went fine and I had successful root. Checked it and all. Then I flashed the new Barren ROM (v1) and I lost root. I tried re-running StumpRoot and StumpRoot is claiming I already have my device is already rooted. However, any application that requires root or Superuser, it says that root is not detected. I have Superuser on my phone.
Did you flash through TWRP?
Can you still boot into recovery, and does TWRP come up as your recovery?
This ^^^^^
I have no idea how you can lose root when it's built into it.
Now if you took the OTA update then you will lose root.
Then you have to revert back to zv4 via Flashtool if you want root again.
The FAQ, and the ZV6 threads have all to info you need.

I don't know how I lost root either. I did not do any OTA updates. All I did was "Update Profile" to get my data working again. I've rooted and flashed roms on many phones, never had this issue until the G3.

Did you unlock the bootloader with "Bump", so you have TWRP?
Then just flash the Rom again. Or any Rom for that matter

I downloaded the TWRP listed on some thread on Sprint LG G3 then used flashify on my rooted G3 to flash it, after that I flashed the custom ROM using TWRP.
Since then, I tried to boot into recovery (power+volume down) and it just booted into safe mode.
Also, if/when I do boot it into recovery, should I also try flashing a SuperSU rom too?

The only thing I can think of is that the download was corrupt. I would try flashing TWRP with Flashify again. If that works, then reinstall SuperSU. That should get you root back. Then download a ROM again, verify the MD5, and flash in TWRP.
If Flashify won't run, then try reinstalling SuperSU, and see if that helps. If not, I think you'll have to revert to the stock ZV4 ROM with LG's Flashtool.
I suggest the Barrin V2 ROM. It's the latest version of Barren, built on the ZV6 ROM instead of ZV4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/development/rom-barrin-odexed-deodexed-t2950747
I tried using flashify and it gave me an error saying I needed root. I tried booting intorecovery husing the instructions and it either just boots up regularly or goes into safe mmode. Have I bricked my phone to this Rom?
Revert to stock as explained here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...de-how-to-restore-sprint-lg-g3-ls990-t2852042
Then reroot, and start over.

[Q] How to update to Lollipop using TWRP

As the heading says, I need help installing lollipop using TWRP, sideloading the .zip fails every time. Any suggestions, it would be nice to install this update as it doesn't seem to be coming as an OTA any time soon for me. Thanks.
Well, the OTA came in this morning and saved the day. I reflashed stock recovery just in case, so it wouldn't brick like my G3 did when I tried to install an OTA. I then rebooted after flahing stock and installed the update. All is well.

Glad you got it working, it would seem that you need stock recovery to flash the OTA as the TWRP recovery causes the ZIP's version check asserts to fail. So you wouldn't have bricked, it just wouldn't have installed for you.

How to update OTA with TWRP installed

I rooted and installed TWRP recovery. I want to update my stock rom with the OTA update. The update is downloaded to my phone, but won't update, re-boots and goes into TWRP. I think I need to first install a stock recovery, but I can't find one. If I find the stock recovery will that allow me to update OTA.

As long as you haven't modified your rom you should be able to take the OTA with a STOCK recovery. You can find them here.
Also you might want to unroot before taking the OTA then reroot afterwards.
Got the ota and clicked install by mistake with stock recovery and root. It failed and had to do a battery pull to get it to boot. So yeah I'd unroot just in case.
I unrooted and installed stock recovery, but update failed?

Stock updates on rooted G5 with TWRP

Hey guys,
I tried to update my rooted G5 via OTA firmware update, but when the device reboots (to install the update), I'm booting to TWRP automatically.
There was some setting you could set on the install of TWRP ("to make stock updates easier" or so). Do you know, what that setting was? Is there a way to install stock updates on a rooted device?
Thanks!
Twrp asks if it should put the system partition not writable. But I think you cannot install OTAs even then.
But... I had the same problem and you can just use lg up with the kdz file of the latest ROM version and select upgrade in the program. It will not delete your data but you will have to install twrp and root again.
But you can of course also do a factory reset while installing the new ROM and start from scratch.

[Guide] How to Fully UNROOT Mi5

Currently I'm on Global rom 8.1.2.0 ROOTED with SuperSU and Xposed Framework ..
Lately, update of 8.1.3.0 has been rolled out,
so I would like to update my device..
Since ROOTED device does not receive OTA update, I like to UNROOT first and then root it again after update..
Anyone cares to help me in this case?
I need a guide to fully unroot and remove the xposed framework so OTA update can be achieve..
Thanks all
I think just Reflash your MIUI room . then dont root it .
Or if you have SuperSU . i think it have option to "Full Unroot" .
You can't manually download it and update through updater app? It should restart with twrp instead of stock recovery and install the new version i guess

I dont see anyone uploaded the OTA file for 8.1.3.0 from 8.1.2.0 around 200MB..
moreover, I heard people said the OTA file only can be flashed using stock recovery & non-rooted device. if rooted you will fail .

Absolutely correct, you must never update OTA with Custom recovery. This will lead to a bricked phone and you'll then have to clean flash the stock rom(Erases Internal Storage). Unfortunately, I learned the hard-way and landed-up losing all the data in my Internal Storage.

You can very well uninstall Xposed and full-unroot SuperSU, however, I'm not sure whether it will be needed.
I would suggest taking a FULL NANDROID backup including Internal Storage and then performing the following steps (at your own risk):
Perform full-unroot from SuperSU app
Uninstall Xposed from TWRP
Flash stock recovery from TWRP
Update OTA from Updater App
Flash TWRP
Flash Xposed & SuperSU from TWRP
Btw, how did you get OTA update for 8.1.3.0 when its still not listed in the website?
Even if the ota is downloaded in .zip format? I remember a xiaomi forum where the op explained that he updated his Rom with twrp using updater app without issue. I must say he didn't downloaded via updater app but on a dedicated thread and then selected the Rom in the updater app menu.
Sorry if my guess was a Bad Idea and can lead to soft brick !!
i have just used the twrp recovery to get the full root
