Has anyone installed the OTA AFTER rooting?

I just got the notification for it, but I don't want to risk anything. Is it good to go?

no, before this gets moved, not good to go. don't flash it. you will lose root

seems like you will lose the root...
but some have posted that even after the ota update... the current root process will still work.

Strange. Thanks, guys.

You'd loose your root.

I rooted did OTA and still seemed to have root access. Just re-rooted and it seems cool flashing stock rom in a second I guess to confirm
Ok I didnt flash a rom but it is letting me do data wipes and all other functions it seems cool!

Flipz confirmed my successful Re-root looks like OTA is safe!

I rooted mine BEFORE the OTA upgrade.. and it stayed rooted after.. -m

I'm not taking any chances. The other dev team is supposed to release their root and it may be more complete than what we have now. No reason to take a chance on an update that isn't totally critical.

I just tried it.. it appears to fail, reboots, and you're still on 1.32.651.1.

It's supposed to fix the read/write permissions glitch with the MicroSD card.

Let me correct this.. The OTA update did not work.. (I stayed at the old software version after trying to apply it.. but root stayed around..)
NOW has anyone managed to place the SD card fix on here manually?
-mark

Yes please. Just update.zip that goodness please. I am sure a complete SuperFresh Rom is on its way.

Well i guess I got this all backwards
I didnt know any better when I got the phone in the store, and I did the update...
then decided to root it.... did the process....
it worked.... but then I had the insufficient permissions on the SD card issue...
after reading a bunch of yea's and nay's on OTA update
I finally made the decision to just due the OTA update cuz I that SD card issue really bugged me...
I did the OTA update, the phone did this funny thing where its showing a green progress bar and then in the middle of it, a red question mark pops up as if it were saying " what the hell is this??" lol
it rebooted... and phone came back online, and now my SD card isnt having the same issue anymore...
UPDATE: Its back.... so now what do I do? Is there any way I can include all my info and settings and apps in a custom recovery cuz if i have to do this again im gonna freak. lol

your having the same problem as me... the update failed.. which is why were waiting on a way to manually apply the update.

OTA worked perfectly. And I get root access

I still haven't gotten the OTA...no matter how many times I manually "check now" in HTC Software Updates, it does not show up. I don't know why this is happening, it's very odd. I'm waiting for someone to cook the update into a custom, or rather stock, ROM. It's driving me insane at the moment, not to mention a bunch of apps are missing from the market (a whole other issue in it's own right). If anyone has an update.zip I can flash or a way to fix this, please please please let me know. Thanks.

I wasn't getting the OTA notification either until I enabled WiFi, then restarted the phone. Worked perfectly after that. Didn't even have to go to system updates.

Exactly what I DIDN'T want to happen....

So I've had the S4 for 1 month now and at first I really didn't want to root or change the ROM. I actually like the TW interface and think it's great as it is. I've been rooting and changing ROMs going back to the MyTouch, but for some reason the S4 had me worried. I debated over and over about doing it, but after getting tired of the bloatware, constant ads being displayed and wanting to stop the horrible startup/shutdown music, the time came for me to root it.
So, after pouring over many hours of reading and deciding the method, I went with the Chainfire route. I chose this because from what I read (and this may have been where I misunderstood something??), if I ONLY root the phone, don't install a custom recovery then I will still be able to receive OTAs (when and IF they come from TMO). So after a couple of heart-stopping moments at 2am last night with about 4 ODIN fails, I finally got it rooted. Turns out, the USB cable I was using might have been the problem. I went out to the car and got the original cable that came with the phone and it worked on the first try with that. I thought for sure I had hard bricked the phone when it came up with an error message at startup regarding a firmware problem.
Anyhow, to make a long story short, after doing the rooting, I checked the update option in settings and it's telling me the phone has been modified and is unable to receive updates. I then ran the triangle away program to reset the binary counter back to Samsung Official/Official, which it's reporting now instead of Custom, but then checking the updater it still reports the same thing. This is what I didn't want to have happen!
Any suggestions on how to rectify this or have I crossed that line and might as well just go ahead and put a recovery on there and do a backup and leave it at that until the day comes I decide to slap a custom ROM on it?
Thanks for letting me rant, but I would like some assistance if possible.

If you've reset your binary counter and have modified nothing else, just unroot and you should be able to receive updates again.

Go into the Triangle Away app and check system modified workaround and problem solved

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I went ahead and got SuperSU Pro because that's the only way the feature in Triangle Away will work. It was after 2am when I was rooting and having problems so I wasn't too sharp.
Thanks!

[Q] Lost Root After Flashing SlimBean4.3

First of all I apologize if I posted this on the wrong forum. I am an XDA fan, this is where all get all the goodies for my phone but never actually post.
I flashed SlimBean4.3OfficialBuild1 along with the gapps they provided on their site (SlimMinimalGapps4.3Build1). As always I keep my apps backed up with TitaniumBackup but I downloaded the apps and it said my device wasn't rooted. I checked USB Debugging and enabled it and still no luck, then i downloaded SU from playstore and it gave me same message, no root. I do not know what it is and I am frustrated its late and I need to get up early. I will leave the phone as it is till I find a solution. Another big BIG issue is the screen flickering I have been getting and looked all over the web and i could not find a solution. I only been getting the screen issues with android 4.3 on all the roms I tried so far. I did get those screen flicker a long time ago but I thought it was because of the ROM i was on then I switched to another one and it was all good. I you would please help me find a solution to this. I feel like throwing my phone to the wall. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i747. THANKS IN ADVANCED.

I had to change the superuser app that I'm using before TB will register. I'm using SuperSU but I have to manually update it sometimes, or just download superuser from Store. Download Root Checker
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.freeandroidtools.root_checker) and it'll tell you if you're rooted or not. The flickering is way beyond me. I'm way too weak in the Force to go into 4.3 ROMS yet.

You have to activate root on 4.3 ROMs. Its settings>development>root set it to apps and/or adb.

Well, I had to re-flash a SuperSU update and that seemed to fix the prob. Even just flashing the latest nightly unrooted my phone. I'll try and find the link for you. Also, try a system, cache, and dalvic wipe.

How to Force the OTA?

I feel like a moron because mine hasn't updated automatically from 4.4.4. Any way to force the Lollipop update? I already checked and have the 24 wait period in effect. Thanks!

Happened to me as well. Go into settings, time and date, uncheck the automatic date/time function and move the date 1 day ahead. I would reboot the phone just in case, and check it again.

Weird - just did all that and it still says software is up to date. Any other suggestions?

Called AT&T to see if they could push Lollipop to my device. No dice. Tried the "move ahead one calendar day" trick, but it didn't work. Now it shows that I can't check again for 702 hours. Ha! Any other suggestions? Maybe it just hadn't rolled out to everyone yet. I'm in Chicago, if that matters.

If you don't have an issue wiping your data then you can use the stock Odin file in the general sub to flash it back to stock and update again.

I had my wife's phone updated with a push from AT&T. She had the same issue. They have to file a ti let and tech department did it but took a few days.

Thanks! Yeah, I might just do this.

Also if you factory restore your phone it will go back to the default 24hr wait.

I haven't really messed around with root stuff in a while, but I know even without root we used to be able to download the update, put it in the root or the SD card and rename it update.zip . Does this not work anymore? I really thought there would be a way to force the update somehow..

That would work if someone has captured the zip file or the download URL, which no one has done. Virtually every 5.0.1 related thread has someone asking for this, with the same response. No one has it, and if they did, it would be available in a stickied post.

Oh the woes of waiting for updates lol.
I remember with my OG moto droid waiting for 2.1 lol.
And how 2.2 blew my mind. Now look at it.

i had to flash oem kitkat to my att note 4, which right after the flash immediately got lollipop.
if you do got to the Samsung kiosk have them re-flash kitkat. then the download for lollipop will update after setup.

Force update to marshmallow?
Hi, absolute idiot when it comes to stuff like this.
So, i was searching through my apps list when i noticed AT&T software update.
I dont need any AT&T applications as i am in Australia and do not have AT&T.
i have tried to force an update by following the clearing data and force stopping the Google services frame work.
tried it multiple times, nothing.
Then i thought i could disable the app of the AT&T software update, and then i fell deeper into the rabbit hole of how OSPolice got in trouble and how there is 2 versions of package disabler pro.
So here i am, stuck with 5.1.1 and i have no idea what to do.
No, i am not going to root it. This is an AT&T phone, with a bootlocker on it. If anyone, *ANYONE*, can help me solve this small issue that would be much appreciated.

"Compatibility Patch" LG G4

"Compatibility patch" update showed up in my notification area. When I clicked on it, it took me to the LG software update section and said that this file is needed to fix some issues with app compatibility.
After installing the program asks to reboot the phone. Once the notification is clicked on, the phone reboots.
Phone is not rooted. It seemed a little sketchy since there's really no other information anywhere else on the net. It seems a bunch of other people have got this but no real info.
Just wondering if anybody else has got this update.
Thanx.

I didn't get this "comp patch" as an individual update. Last week, I got the update with the security patches from July 1 (German G4, no branding), and it looks like that this patch was included. It now shows in the list of installed LG applications, where it didn't appear before. My wife (LG G3) got this patch as a single install (~1 week ago).

I have got this compatibility patch too, and in description of this app is 20160809 so it is 1 week old. But what was going about in that "fix"... :/

I've got the patch today too. But haven't rebooted yet.

U talking about this one? What is that supposed to do?

I have got this update and now it keep asking to reboot in notification bar. I have done restart many times but no luck.

If you have the encryption on then turn it off and reboot. That should resolve the issue and then you can turn it back on. Hope it works for you.

Hi Akarshad, I've got exactly the same issue. Installed, rebooted multiple times and the notification to reboot is still there telling me to reboot to finalise the install.

Problem with the Patch
I got the same patch on my LG V10. Thinking nothing of it I agreed to install and reboot. Once I had done so, I now have the Yellow Boot Warning at every boot. And also a bunch of my system apps stopped working. Camera, Phone, Music. I don't remember ever flashing a ROM that would trigger the warning seeing as how I got the update to 6.0.1 a few days before and hadn't done anything since. So I flashed back to stock with LGUP and the problems still persist. This is my first post ever, any advice. I apologize as I know this is a LGG4 thread.

If you did anything to the system image, you may have issues applying the OTA. @SixTheAmateur: did you modify in any way your V10? Did you flash a KDZ not officially available to your V10?

Yes that was the problem. Solved after disabling encryption

Guys the compatibility patch dissappeared??? Help yesterday it showed up Today nothing

Ok now i'm getting this on my g4 as well... Anyone ever figure out if this is a worthwhile update fir a non-rooted phone or if it's just LG crapware?

I've had massive compatibility issues with my g4 and apps I like to use. I noticed this today and definitely installed it. I have been able to use the apps I hadn't been able to use.
It seems to be going well so far. I'd say do it.
It seems to be frozen/disabled after installing, odd.

Compatibility Patch Mystery to T-Mobile and LG
I got a notice for a compatibility patch several weeks ago.
Rather than click I contacted LG, who knew nothing of it.
So I contacted T-Mobile, my carrier, and they knew nothing of it and suggested I don't down load it.
It popped up again today and I'm going to ignore it until I understand what it will do.
Good Luck!

Similar experience. I had issues with my phone afterward and had to get a new one.
