[Q] System update on rooted and custom rom devices - Do I upgrade?

I'm getting a system update message that's related to the exploit that will wipe your phone if you come across a bad URL.
I'm running a custom rom with custom recovery. How can I get get rid of the message?

You can let the upgrade go through the process... It'll fail.. Then future update notification should go away afterwards... Or, use rom toolbox to edit your build.prop file and change all references from LG8 to LI3...Reboot... Done

[Q] Help needed - How to recover from Secure Booting Error (ATT 980)

I'm desperate - need some help please!
I had a stock AT&T Optimus G Pro (980)
I rooted it successfully
I installed CWM Recovery v6.0.4.5
Phone was working fine until AT&T pushed an auto-update
After rebooting I'm getting the Secure Booting Error - and then it goes into CWM Recovery.
What should I do next?
Thanks in advance!

You're in cwm recovery. I'm sure you could wipe and install a new ROM? Other than that, I imagine the update is trying to find stock recovery and can't.

Flash back to stock, ask for the update, root again (freegee is probably the easiest)

almost... reflash back to stock, root, then take update after rooting or else you cannot root.
.

I'm in the same predicament. Tried flashing a nandroid and it still will not boot. Trying to avoid flashing back to stock.

If you have custom recovery and root the ota update obviously wont work. I had asked the developer of root for our devices for the otas and this is what he had said:
dalingrin said:
My suggestion, if you want to keep root don't take an OTA.
If you really want to stay with stock LG then you'll want to flash updates via custom recovery. The community will take the updates from LG and make them flashable with TWRP or CWM.

so you ll have to wait for someone to make this update a flashable zip.

Yeah there is a script that runs when you do a OTA. My buddy had to completely restore to stock using download mode to fix his. You may get lucky with doing a factory wipe but sounds like flashing a new rom didn't even help... Look through the forums and find the thread that guides you through doing a regular restore (this will restore you to the original software. You will be unrooted and your recovery will go back to stock. This means you can do the OTA if you so desire. Just keep in mind it may block Loki and root)

Thanks for the reply mate,
Yeah i will do like that , but surely there is a way somewhere to remove the boot loop , from TWRP you can remove edit files.
So if someone with more knowledge tell us where the OTA files give the command to boot to recovery we can remove it.
Cheers

Post your problem in twrp's thread. Drgravy replies often and he knows more than anyone what to do in a situation like yours.

Thanks all for your help ....
I unbricked the device with FlashTool.1.0.54 , i flashed the original firmware , the strange thing this did not wipe my data, only removed Custom recovery and root.
Cheers

the software version is v50010b from v50010a

Perhaps the update is by region. I cannot seem to initiate update via OTA or LG PC Suite.

To be honest I didn't mention any chances , sure they (lg) updated their apps but I haven't notice any system chances , but then again I can't take it from my kids and wife hands!!!!

Just tried the update to a stock (but rooted) Gpad
At 3% installing, error 0x13E
After booting, a samsung-like:laugh: message:
"This device is suspected in rooting. Software update is not available for rooted device"
Fortunately this tablet is not mine... This tablet needs a "google edition" update ASAP

Maybe somebody could cook this update into a package that can be flashed by people who are on stock, but rooted?

I am on stock, rooted, but the update went fine.

As far as it goes I think after rooting it with CFroot you should update the SuperSU from the Playstore.

Hello, I was trying to update my note 2 with DN3 kitkat rom today.. But didn't work! :/
I rooted the phone. I got correct root access.
Then followed the instruction to flash the ROM.
After reboot, I could hear the welcome sound(new) and saw the samsung animated logo..then it stuck there. I waited for some 15mins, but nothing happened, only the animated samsung logo.
I saw an issue in TWRP.. saying there was a problem with permission. I don't know what was it. I tried to fix permission, but it failed.
After nothing worked, now I am in the process of recovery from kies.
Perhaps I didn't have the right step by step guide; from rooting the phone to flashing it. :/
If someone could please help, would be great!.. I really want to flash my phone for the DN3 custom rom.
Thanks.

Why do you need to root when flashing custom rom? It is already prerooted. You only need recovery.

As per rooting instruction, it is mentioned that the device must be rooted before flashing a custom rom from stock rom.
While installing the recovery the device is rooted or another way that I tried was to root by CFroot first, which was successfully done then I got the super user access to install a recovery like TWRP,,

Installation 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1 Failed? Need help ASAP

So I am trying to install the latest 3.2.1 Update but everytime I get installation failed? I used to have root and custom emojis on the phone but I wiped the phone with TWRP by booting it, flashed stock rom and the 3.2.0 update. I then realised I had no recovery at all so I flashed the stock recovery with adb but even tho I have stock rom with no root or anything and stock recovery I still get installation failed? Could it be that I have my bootloader unlocked but still stock everything else that makes it so its not working or what? really need help with this as I wanna be able to install with OTA.
-Marcus

Did you try "adb sideload" in stock recovery?

I had the same problem when updating 3.2.1 to 3.2.2....I was on stock no root bootloader locked too...I downloaded the ota 7 times and failed....then I downloaded 3.2.2 full rom,unlocked bootloader,flash twrp and then flashed the full romm using twrp...and it was a success....but I really don't what was causing the problem....can anyone explain why the ota update install failed?because i really wanna update the phone using ota not by flashing everytime....can anyone help?
