My Bell Optimus G is showing a new update, V20h-MAR08-2013 (428.33MB)
Would someone who doesn't mind losing root give it a shot and tell me if root persists with any of the normal OTA survival tools?
I don't want to update until I know I can have root afterwards.
EDIT:: or a better question is, is the g_security exploit still working on the new rom?
Current root method works fine.
LG Optimus G E971/3/5
Elisha, it works as... Root persists or as you can root for the first time on V20h?
I did the KDZ for Bell yesterday and it worked with the latest Sprint based root method. And so does the newest Rogers update as well. Someone mentioned that it persisted on the OTA too. But I would download Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to backup root first before doing the OTA.

Just finished the update and su is still there and setuid. I didn't have to do anything special.
There was an update for 180K 2 days ago (F180K20i)
Yesterday ive bricked my device (my fault) and had to flash the latest rom.
The root exploit still works

Are you on a F180 rom at the moment?
If so can you extract the Wake Up alarm tone for me? I miss that one. Only the Korean roms have it I believe.

Some people with the f180 have already done it for the E975 roms.

Unfortunately for me and pgdg71, we don't have network signal after we flash.

I downloaded the rom f180k20i but I couldn't flash it because of extract error of the rom. I dowloaded it twice from:
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/tool.php?idclick=3510
...but same results.
Maybe this rom can help me and michaelgeorge.
for Tim4: do you have a good one?
I have tried to flash the newest F180L20N .kdz a couple times, get an extract error (extracting kdz error) as well. Tried re-downloading the file directly from the LG server, same error.

Yes, I flashed in order, F180K10H, F180K20G -> no network , again F180K10H network until first reboot...
It is amazing how I can't do anything else: Factory reset and wipe didn't help me. Is the phone sim-locked? Hw error? I don't have a clue...

I had to manually choose the Network Operator. The list took little while to populate but once selected I have had no issues.

I unrooted the phone but i think the bootloader is still locked, could this be the reason?
The error just says problem with installation:S
Edit: but I unrooted through SuperSu...that shouldn't matter though?
You have to relock the bootloader.

That's the easiest way or you have to dd or fastboot those partitions back to lock the bootloader.

i knew this app from google play "OTA KEEPER", it can unroot and backs up root file easily. But i don't try it!
Anyone has experience on this app??????/:laugh:
Easiest way for unroot is with SuperSU from chainfire.
Just install the app,go to settings and choose unroot.your device will reboot and will be clean.

Before I could install the KDZ files on mine LG Optimus G F180L/E975, but the KDZ files are now bigger as before and I get a extraction error.
Does anyone know how to install these newer/bigger KDZ files?
..
yes this is my issue also.. anyone knows how? TIA
In for knowledgeable responses.
I believe that just a corrupted download. Happened to me few times.

Sorry, but I don't believe thats the problem.
Deleted the files and downloaded them again and that for the Hong Kong, Dutch and the Europe versions.
Well, check for viruses
I see no reason the size could affect extracting, except the case you got no free space on your disk the temp folder stored (Extracted rom takes 1.5gb of space).
So check the viruses, free space, secure flags
I've had problems with the last kdz files d/l directly from the LG servers. Tried multiple d/l but always crashed during extraction process. No space issues, no viruses, no problems previous to March 2013.

You can Update to F180L20P by using B2CAppSetup.exe (LGMobile Support Tool), thats how I did it, but I want to install the Bigger KDZ files from the E975 on mine F180 (without the Korean apps and dialer).

I come from S3 there was flashed over Odin, how does that work on the LG E975 Optimus G?
If I'm wrong here, perhaps a kind mod move me in the right department, thank you
I'm almost sure that this problem is connected with KDZ_FW_UPD, because "File Extract Error" occurs also with file (*.kdz) downloaded by B2CAppSetup.exe (LGMobile Support Tool) and succesfully flashed. Does Anyone knows where is newest version?

You can't use lg mobile tool when you are on custom rom. The phone will be detected,but when you will choose to flash stock it will give you an error.
The only way is kdz updater.

If that .kdz file is bigger than 1gb, kdz updater will not work. Simply as that.
After searching around,i found there is a way to bypass official LG mobile support tool checks.
It's a litle more complicated,as you need to install small server and you have to edit hosts file in windows, but it will do the trick. You need to do this in order to make the app thinking it's downloading the rom from lg server.
here is the tutorial

It's for the L9,but i think it will work F180 too....

it's not working. Even if it's file downloaded earlier with LG Mobile Support tool - it crashes during file extraction. Tried this with previous version of LG MST (this from thread You mentioned). Don't know why - tried only with one *.kdz.
BartxGamer - You can try this, but LG Mobile Support tool will update to new version, and it's hard to say - will it work?

You're wrong. I always go back to stock rom with this. If Phone is recognized with newest firmware, then You have to choose from options "Emergency firmware" and find ROM using IMEI.
there is an "IF" there.You got lucky, not working for everyone .What do you do if the phone is not recognized?

OR we will wait till official android 4.3 for F180k will be released. Than we should be able to update, i guess.
Yep, IF phone is recognized. But what if not? I tried it twice. And it stopped after checkint battery stats. You could only restart update or exit. And it writes, phone is nit connected.
