From the research that I have done, it's mixed if you can root it or not. Some say that FreeGee works to root it again, while others say it's not rootable at the moment. I have not confirmed either or yet. I'm waiting to get more information to see if it is rootable with FreeGee or not.
For the best results, to go back, you need to LGNPST back, wait on a released V9 Rom that can be rooted but until then you can use a "Custom V9 Rom" (actually V9 based) until one shows up.

There is already a rooted stock Rom. That is how they made the custom one.

Stock rooted ROM wont be able to get the latest ota?

I think you will need to be back on stock with a stock recovery. I tried flashing an ota a while ago when was stock rooted and it failed at 25% or somewhere in there
Sent from my SGS3
Yes and you need to be unrooted as well. You can use OTA Rootkeeper from the market to temp un-root, take OTA and the re-root.
I have the stock recovery, and I do have that app. I'll give it a go.

If you have Mobile Odin you can load up the whole FW and then pick only recovery to flash.
Also Cybernook has a stock recovery a few threads down, but we are not sure which version it is.
Or if you can wait just a bit ill get it uploaded and get out the link.

As long as you have stock recovery you are good. However after the update you may loose root, and your device status may say modified unless you factory reset.

Thanks, I guess I will wait until Wednesday to find out. Which root method have you guys used with the multiwindow update?

Remove root.
Then install update.

I'd recommend a custom rom. You get so much more. And it's been multi Window 4.1.2 since October.

Well if you have a custom recovery, then it may or may not flash. Some users tried to take it and got a status 7 error, while others took it to remove the notification and (hoping it would error out) were suprised to find it go through and it removed their root. The only difference with this update really is the firmware, but you can find flashables of those in freezas stock rooted thread

First off, the unpleasantness: This topic has been covered in many, many threads. Please run a search (or scroll through the threads for 10 minutes) and you'll most likely find your answer.
Ok, now for your answer:
Are you still using the stock recovery or do you have a custom one (CWM or TWRP)?
If you're on stock, you *should* be able to run the update. I'd recommend going back to Stock Rooted before updating, though.
If you're on CWM, you can try running the update. It works for some people running CWM, not for others. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason why it works for some and not others.
If you're on TWRP, you can't run this update, but you can run the update files given by Freeza in his thread. If you just want to keep your ROM with the newest baseband, run the file "MB1 Firmware/modem/baseband update."
Hope the helps!

Ok I've now recovered my phone 3 times after trying to unlock my bootloader, I've done it with freegee and GAIO both when i reboot I just get the LG logo then a black screen and nothing. I've tried with installing a new recovery as well as not doing the recovery install at all. Anyone have an idea why this would be happening?
GAIO doesn't root zv9, or zvb. For those you should be using fiddy root.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Im currently in the same situation. I used to be rooted on Lifeless but last week I had the same situation (LG screen to black screen).
Now, im only on stock rooted JB. I cant unlock bootloader because it wont let me. You should talk yo shelnut on the irc. When i talked to him last week, he said there is a way to unlock but there is a chance of brick with no coming back. I couldnt risk it, so im stuck on stock rom

You both would just use Loki's Locked Imperium. I've been running it and it's pretty nice for people that just can't unlock.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
After recovering I was at zv7 so that's when I used gaio, the other times I rooted with fiddly. And I haven't gotten to the point of being able to install a rom. After unlocking the bootloader it doesn't allow me to ever even go to recovery.
Does the locked imperium not need a recovery to install with?

fiddy has a Universal root. Its for all versions. Maybe even run it twice to make sure root is good. Then either try freegee again or use Locked Imperium. For now anyway.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Well I can't use the locked imperium because my phone hasn't got the jellybean update yet . it's partly why I want to root.I used fiddly the first 2 tries to unlock. Do you think doing a bootloader unlock twice might make a difference?

The short and sweet is: Download zvb update,, update to zv9, root, push zvb uodatebto /cache. Hang on, I'll edit this with a link.

can I just download the zvb update and do it from my computer without unlocking?

awesome looks like i just need a rooted zv9 to do this, thanks alot!
Also, you don't have to use rootkeeper. Just use fiddy619 root for everything. So zv9, root using fiddy, push zvb update to /cache, root zvb using fiddy root again. I can't remember if it freezes at 4GLTE screen or not. If so, do this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38887359&postcount=155
edit. You dont need to rename the update either
Worked like a charm! Never had any lockups or anything. Your the man!
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I'm curious. Did you run root twice? Or just the once when on JB? I'm assuming you unlocked.
Also, I'll rewrite those steps and put them in my guide. Tomorrow hopefully.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I only ran root once. I haven't tried unlocking yet though at this time as I'm worried about having to unbrick again. If you want me to try for the guide your writing though I would give it a try.

I bricked mine taking the update with a custom recovery..

Root on 10p update
By reverting back to 10k update using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660 and rooting with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660. I now have the 10p update with root. Definitely a longer process than other carrier phones I'm sure but definitely possible. After rooting 10k update I went straight into settings and updated without doing any modifications and root stuck. Just wanted to share so others in the same situation know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel! Good luck!
is there a way to manually install the update?
How are any of you able to put your e980 into recovery mode? Mine ends up with the dead android with an exclamation mark over his open chest.
Rooting on 10p literally only took less than 2mins.
