So I've been checking daily for the JB update, and came across this small update today.
I attempted to apply this update, but was greeted with the following message after a failed update attempt.
So, is this LG attempting to patch the root exploit, or just being d! cks?
And, what is the simplest way to unroot? (just root, not bootloader unlocked)

Just wow. I have the F180K, rooted - installed 2 updates came over OTA - no problems. Root still here by the way.
Also OTA says no updates for me
Tried disabling Superuser in SuperSU and that didn't work. Tried enabling Survival mode in SuperSU Pro and that didn't work. Might just take my chances, run the full unroot, update, and hope that I can re-root.

My rooted Rogers LG-E971 just tried to run an OTA software update. Said update was cancelled because of suspected root.
I am curious to know what has been updated if anybody has or can find that information.
Yes! This problem can be solved, please read my post on this thread:

Pushed the update V10p via LGmobile Support Tool. Update completed, lost root, unable to re-root via Bin4ry method or otherwise. :shrug: Guess I wait for a new root method if one ever surfaces.
I have the .kdz from before the V10p update, could always revert back and root if I wanted to. Don't really see any need to at this moment.
Just received a 3rd update for F180K, but while installation it shows error 0x13E, probably cause of unlocked boot

I received that error with just root, never had bootloader unlocked.
Does anybody knows where the update is stored on phone?

Yea, I maintained root up to and including V10n. It is V10p that seems to break root and prevents re-rooting.

Must be we have different models, cause in case of F180K, firmware story was like this:
Orginal: V10h -> V10n -> V10i -> V10k :Latest

Sprint LG Optimus G android version:4.0.4 LG software version: LS970ZV9
A few weeks ago sprint pushed either a firmware update or LG pushed a software update, I didn't think anything about it and choose to update. Big mistake: I have now lost root, used root checker to confirm, also wifi tether no longer works, and root explorer will not r/w. Now my problem is I still have supersu and can't get rid of it, also wifi is acting strange.
I have tried the following to unroot: factory reset both software and bootloader methods neither removed supsu, went to supers and tried uninstall, also just tried to reroot, but no success.
I would like to unroot or perform a factory reset which gets rid of supersu and root. Then finally reroot, I have no problems losing everything and starting from scratch. Can someone explain to me how to do this?
Update: Thanks to javskies - I have used LGNPST to revert back to V7 of firmware and now have root again!!!!!!

if you plan on rerooting why not just lgnpst back to v7, root and unlock, and just flash a stock v9 rom?

Chances are pretty high that your root method installed supersu into the /system/app directory (which is ro) therefore, the only way to remove it, would be to root the phone and mount it as rw. Or as the above says, downgrade then root then next time not upgrade.

Well, most root methods (including the one I used, found here) install supersu or superuser to /system/app so it would be safe to assume that that is what his core issue is (not being able to uninstall it, because it's in the system partition, which is now read only)

Make sure, or recheck USB bugging. Or your drivers didn't install right.

Can't unroot
Can't find a method to unroot from zv9 rooted. LGNPST recovery freezes at 4% once it actually starts to push the recovery. GAIO isn't compatible with zv9, so no help. Also tried pushing zvb update through TWRP then CWM with no luck, they fail when they try to open the zip.
You don't need to unroot. You need to relock the bootloader though.
In the irc, they have a method to update thru TWRP. If you wanna try that.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I relock with freegee? right?
Was a little worried when it still went into TWRP after restoring with freegee, but gave it a shot installing anyway. I installed the "update.zip" file from sdcard not cache and it still worked. Now running ZVB with root thanks to VooDoo's OTA Rootkeeper!
Thanks for the help engine95!
Frustrated
And have attempted every suggestion posted but have still not been able to fix the problem regarding ADB problem that will not allow me to root my phone.

I can't believe I forgot about this option. But run as admin/not as admin. So right click fiddy619 root, run as admin.
This seems to be the most common problem.

I did receive the update, it just refuses to install because someone at LG decided that a person who root his device, is a bad person and hence is not entitled to any support from LG.

You can try yourself if you don't have any important files in your device.. Turn off device and go to recovery, if it auto wipes you have stock. ?

Update:
yes you are right, strange i have done it before now i couldn't, update stopped few secs after it started and after boot got same error.
it is about changed system files, not just root.
i deleted maps and g+ apps and installed them as user apks so i could hibernate them with greenify. with that setup i couldn t install updates, but when i replaced the apks to the system I was able to update once again.

Just received the OTA... After download cannot install due to the device been rooted.
Any idea how to bypass the root check or install?
You can try this app -
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amphoras.hidemyroot
But I think it will not work, you can trick some apps but can't trick the OTG (OS).
I think I've tried everything to hide root. I've even unrooted and it still won't update. You have to reflash the stock rom to get it to update OTA. If only someone knew where it's downloading to so that we can extract and manually update.

Would you mind telling us what you did when you gained root access? We have one report that ioroot + xposed prevents OTA update. Did you do anything to your phone after you gaining root access?
Which variant of the G3 is this for? nothing shows up on mine 16gb/2gb Euro version on v10a.
32gb/3gb V10a-EUR-XX also shows no update... (ioroot)
no idea, i got the v10e update but once its downloaded it says that my phone is suspected from being rooted (which it was)
mine is D855 16gb int. version..
i rooted my phone with towelroot + using xposed
from what im seeing ota works only with towelroot with ioroot not working
Also just got the update. Looks like it's brand new so we still have no clue about the changes except for Power Optimizations?
can anyone provide a screenshot of power optimization please?
thanks.
disabling xposed & root doesn't help. any idea?

If on the D855 you can follow the guide in my signature to unroot without wiping.
Might be a good idea to wait and see if they backported the 4.4.4 towelroot patch before unrooting and installing the OTA.
Witch root apps do you have?
Because it sais that I'm rooted and can't update. I have root explorer, cerberus and titanium

I have a D855 Euro version on O2 (v10a), have installed Towelroot (no xposed installed), but mine says that there are no updates available, im using the latest software version according to the update checker.
Anyone have any idea what this update brings to the phone? It was pushed to my phone this morning and I dont know if i should update it or not. I highly doubt that it is lollipop however i want to know if it is safe to install the OTA and not lose functionality of exposed, rooted permissions, etc...
i don't think it's android L. see changelog here.

It's the for inflight text.
Did you get a notification on your phone about update or an announcement on t mobile's website? I haven't seen any posts about update nor customer service has any knowledge of it.
I just got an OTA for the update. you can always use LG's update tool to upgrade your software version. I was actually presented with another update this morning. I have no idea what it is. it does however bring the software from swv10q to KVT49L. It is still android 4.4.2 FYI
Is the update rootable (required for SD fix)?
Is there anyway to force this update? I'm on 10M stock
I havent gotten the notice and really am in no hurry to hook it up to the pc or force update right now. Has anyone actually updated to this and aside from the minor changelog were there any changes to the bootloader or anything?

purpledrake is blocked.. not sure if root will stick thru OTA or if manual updating will be required.
bootloader has been updated with the same changes the other G3 "pre-L" updates had (nothing noticeable to end users).
downgrading is NOT blocked or anything.

Taking the OTA while already being rooted may allow root to stick through the update process... I cannot confirm that yet and we will need to wait for other users to report back. Your other options are not taking the OTA at all and instead using TWRP to manually update to 10R partition by partition (flashing modem, boot and system).. OR downgrading back to 10C/10M and continue using that. There most likely will not be an updated LG root in the immediate future... no reason to waste a bug when downgrading is still possible... every single G3 and other flagship LG device has root with some firmware version. Perhaps we'll see a new android-wide 4.4.x bug that would work for all.
As for bootloader... no we don't need bump.. we have an unlocked device. Update is not related to a lock.

not that I know of. easiest way will be to just dump the 10R kdz when it comes out and flash the partitions manually in TWRP. I'll probably make a secure flashable bootloader update zip.. and I'll have have the boot, modem and all the other partitions (minus system), as always, up on my codefire folder. Someone else will have to upload/mirror system for the masses.
