My wife's V10, at&t version, was rooted a few months ago. Large system update, i assume MM, keeps failing. Can i unroot or in some way update to MM without wiping?
She's not tech savvy, setting her phone back up EXACTLY the way it was would be a major pain if having to wipe.
Edit: i dont see the answer so forgive if redundant, does flashing tot back to stock wipe? If not i think that might work
Devs, anyone? Pretty pls?

You can use the unroot option in superSU

Your solution is to flash the .tot file and all will be fresh

Just got an update on LG Optimus G, does anyone know what in it?

I'm not sure but I got it too. It failed when trying to update though. Probably because I already rooted it?
I went ahead and let it update, it's a small 3.5 MB update so definitely not anything dramatic. Changed software version from E97010l to E97010o. No change in kernel or baseband version. Will check and see if root method for international Optimus G still works...
EDIT: Root still works. Haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary, so feel free to update without the fear of losing root.
Here's a question: How are these updates pushed? My E970 is operating on Rogers and has actually NEVER been registered or run on AT&T. Are these updates pushed via the AT&T network to registered/operating phones, or via the Internet to specific IMEIs? In other words, will my phone ever get updates like this pushed?
How do we opt out of updates?

Hooray Arkansas! Anyway, I used Titanium Backup (after rooting and unlocking bootloader) to delete the LG FOTA app. I still get the FOTA notification, and it tries to install it. However, FOTA's install using stock recovery, and if you unlock your bootloader your stock recovery is overwritten by Clockwork Mod recovery so the device just reboots
Anyone else getting better battery life? It's been 12 hours since I last charged my phone and I've barely cracked off a 3rd of the charge.
This may be a question for another thread, but my update failed (guessing because my phone is rooted). If I temporarily un-root my phone and apply the update, would it work? I can then go back and root it again if need be, but I really just wanted to remove some AT&T apps and that was the only reason I rooted it in the first place.
Now I wonder if I've created a headache for myself in regards to updates. I should have done more research before rooting!

Like Deathmonkey said, the update fails because of your custom recovery. You would have to flash your stock recovery in order to receive the OTA. I think you can see how yo do this in the rooting guide thread.

what is the latest version of the software on your phone? I have E97010o, i sthis the latest version? I have a really bad battery drain due to fast dormancy on 3g and just wanted to check if the latest version takes care of this.

Man, I'm really sorry to be an idiot, but I couldn't find what you were talking about. I found the root guide in this forum, but there's zero mention of a recovery. Can you point me to the thread? Sorry, and thank you again.

I was under the impression that only the unlock installs a custom recovery. Does the root do this too?

That's a good question. All I did was root and uninstall a few AT&T apps. That's it. I haven't installed any custom recovery, but maybe that was done somehow?
Lesson learned for me: don't go messing with crap until I do my research
Edit: tried a hard reset, no luck of course. Only thing that did for me was buy me two hours now of trying to reinstall my apps. This is depressing.

Sorry to bump this back up. Just got my phone last night and rooted it with this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941699
This morning I saw that my phone has an update available. Is it safe to update if I defrost all my frozen bloatware (I did not delete any of them, just frozen)?
I've read that I should not do OTA if I unlocked the bootloader whichI have not done, only root. I also searched and found out that I should not do OTA if I have a custom recovery which I do not think I have from the rooting directions from the thread above. Just trying to be cautious.
This update does not fix our fast_dormancy problem. I tried it on my OG the first couple days. I am now rooted, unlocked and running nottach custom att Rom.

Thanks for the reply. Was your phone rooted before installing the update?
I have been seeing a lot of folks talking about just going back to complete stock to install the update.
Is that the best option? Are we able to root 4.3 yet?
Do you need to reset S-off on the phone or what? I have seen a few different things out there today talking about this. My phone downloaded the update and keeps asking me to install ever so often but of course won't as I don't have the stock recovery console.
All help and info is appreciated!
I'm using Avatar ROM and my phone isn't even prompting me with the update. I'm really happy with my phone now so I'll give it a few days and wait for feedback on it.

I have just been using stock rooted as I have needed to keep my wifi calling.
I am used to Samsung's and Moto's and this is my first HTC I have worked with so the process of doing everything is a bit different.
Is there a way I can just flash stock recovery back and then install the update and be good to go?

You can leave s-off but you need to go back to stock Rom and recovery to receive ota. I have a link posted a link in the ota is coming thread that will help you return to stock. If you updated firmware you just need to use a usb otg and a usb mouse cause touchscreen won't work

I recently updated my phone before rooting it. Now StumpRoot or PurpleDrake won't work . The SW Version is LS990ZV6. If anyone knows of any working roots that have very little to no risk of soft/hard brick, that would be awesome.

There's not an easy root for ZV6. The good news is you can flash tool back to ZV4 since there's no anti roll back. After flash, stump root then bump TWRP and flash the rooted ZV6 or another LS990 friendly ROM.

I just did that stupid update too and lost root access! I used stump to root it so thought I'd download it again and reroot from there but it says I'm already rooted. However, when I check with root checker or super su it says I'm not. If you find anything please let me know.
Seriously? It's the basic rule of the "Stump" root method. It only works once and only on ZV4. If you lose root, you cannot re-root ZV4 or otherwise without using flash to stock ZV4. Then flash a rooted ZV6.

Just like Mike said, you must go back to zv4 using flashtool. No easy way to root zv6 right now. There is one OTA apk you can rename with root explorer on zv4 to stop over the air updates when you go back to zv4.

I've used flashroot before because I soft-bricked my phone. It was a pain to use. Do you think it might be a long while before a z6 easy root? Also, if I do revert it back to z4, do I have to do a complete wipe?

Anytime you use flashtool, to flash a factory .tot, it wipes every partition in the phone. You don't have a choice to wipe or not.

It could take a while. I'm not sure anyone is working on root for the Sprint variant. We probably won't get. Zv6 root until they find an exploit for another variant that happens to work on Sprint.

Geez people, pay attention. Read, Read, Read before doing. There must be dozens of posts in the LS990 forums that say ZV6 can't be rooted, don't take the OTA if you're rooted, etc. But you do first, then read.
And the answers to all of these questions about how to fix it have been posted dozens of times, too. Please use the search function, or just read the forums. The answers are all here.
I know this has probably been asked a few times but I can't follow along for whatever reason.
I'm wanting to root my Verizon LG G3 on Lollipop 5.0.1 [Release VS98523C]
I have never rooted this phone before. It is entirely stock.
How can I do this or can it be done?

Thank you, man.
I'm also concerned about unrooting as well, so if I rooted this way and then wanted to unroot in the future, I'm concerned about trying to figure out how to go about that as well.

Somehow I managed to overlook where it says you can just unroot in within SuperSU. Lol.
Thanks again, man.
Now if I can just manage to find an updated version of TWRP for this phone that I can flash via AutoRec.
Once you are rooted TWRP manager from the Play Store will do all that for you also.

The issue though with unrooting is it just removes root, but does not put the G3 back into stock condition. If you look under settings->About Phone->Software info, you'll see it shows it as "Modified" which means no OTAs will be accepted more than likely. The only way to go back to pure stock is to flash via KDZ or TOT images, which wipes your phone. That's the only way to get back to pure stock where it won't show modified as the status.
To learn more about the G3, I would suggest going to the following post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/help-thread-lg-g3-question-t2947298
From reading through that post, I learned everything I needed to about the LG G3 when I was considering switching to it and knew that I would be able to flash ROMs, root, etc. It is what sold me on getting the phone.
My phone just downloaded a new update today, 576.8 MB, and anyone had any experience with this update, what does it "fix" or do? Any thoughts on installing it? Like the way my phone is running now, dont want to screw it up..
I too got this update and have being watching this forum to see if anyone have installed this update. My main concern is that since I want to root my phone, if I install this will I lose that ability to root the phone?

Following in the t mobile forums would give you answers. Add root and twrp with the 10a modified tot, then flash the 10d zip after. You will retain twrp, and have root still. There is no modified tot for 10d, so if you take the update from your phone before root, you will be sol

I would also recommend doing the "complete" update. I did the smaller download and TWRP crashed during SuperSU install, which caused my phone to bootloop. Couldn't get 10a to install properly anymore, so I flashed the whole 10d. Now I'm waiting for someone to make a new TOT with their successfully updated, rooted LG-H830. Luckily, I liked this phone quite a bit BEFORE I had root. Now I'm just sad that nyancat no longer flies on my screen when I boot up... Oh well! I have faith someone will come up with a better root method than a 2 Gig download... I'll also be willing to do that 2 gig download if that's the only method that comes around.
I downloaded it this morning. Ever since than, my snapchat selfie camera has been working perfectly. I'm satisfied.
So any root update on 10d.
