"This device is suspected in rooting. Software update is not available for rooted device."
Gosh, I feel like a criminal...
I got this message after trying to install an official LG update that came out today for my (indeed rooted) F180L.
Thankfully this is not a *north* Korean device, otherwise it would have probably self distract in my hands... (taking me and my entire family with it).
And the reason for this thread is......it's a known fact..rooted and unlocked devices will not receive ota updates...

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.

Pretty sure it's not the root that is the issue it's the custom recovery, like all nexus devices which fail to install ota. ?

I don't have custom recovery. Just root.
Update via LG update software on pc then re-root. Bit of a hassle but will work.

Very unlikely, but I'll be testing something shortly so I'll confirm this too.
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.

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)
Sent from my LG-F180L using xda app-developers app
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

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

You'll probably loose root. If you have ANY custom ROM installed even stock, I wouldn't do it without first restoring the original stock software.

It is safe to update but, you'll lose root. The good news is that you can unlock and root your phone using the same method as ZVB.

I am unlocked and rooted. I didn't change anything and took the ota update. It rebooted phone to twrp and that's it. Then I rebooted to system. So how do I go about locking and unrooting before taking update? Or can you do it from custom recovery?

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but it did not install at TWRP
Stock LS970ZVB that has been unlocked. Treat me like I'm 5. When I get to the TWRP screen, what should I be doing?
And how do I get it to tell me to update again? I remember there was a way to make it search for updates (but some sort of cache needed to be cleared before it would look again, etc)?
thank you

If I remember right, if it didn't install, and you rebooted, i think it disappears. With a root explorer, look in /cache or /cache/fota and see if it's there. If not, you can get the update in the root guide. Follow the instructions to manually update.
I can't remember what to clear to get the update again. Try update profile/prl, then lg update.

I found what to do, but I don't recommend it:
"go to Google services framework….force stop it….clear data and then leave then try to update"
It downloaded the update, then rebooted, and didn't go to TWRP this time. Just straight to the Android with his belly open and the crystal turning. It fails after 30% and you have the Android on his back with a red triangle that has an exclamation point in it. I've rebooted three times and it fails everytime. If I let it sit, instead of rebooting, it eventually go into a normal boot and everything loads on the phone fine, but it's still ZVB.
I will attempt your guide later tonight. Thank you for your help and I pass the above information on not as a complaint, but as a warning of something that might *possibly* happen to others.
Is there a way to stop the update notification?
I did root the phone as well, but I really don't want to install this new upgrade just yet. The update notification is driving me nuts, there are time where it pops up every 10 min or so. I tried freezing some processes, but it always comes back. Does anyone know what to do so I can completely stop it for a while? Also, I can't find the location where this upgrade is saved, tried /cache and the SDCARD but no luck. thanks for any help that anyone could provide!

great, thank you!
For those like me who don't know much, the instructions in the link above work
Disable nag screen - 1. Not for sure. Go to /system/app, rename/delete LGFOTA.apk/odex. 2. Edit the build.prop - theres 3 references to ZVB. Change them to ZVC
but you will need to remount /system, I found that x-plore can be allowed to run as su and automatically remount read only systems. I edited the file from there and changed the 4 references from ZVB to ZVC and reboot.
Thanks again!

A few people have asked me how to recover their GPE from a soft brick and going back to the stock software.
Easy answer would be you should have made a back up.
I do not have GPE to test this but you can try this method.
Download boot.img and zip file from HERE
GPE_Restore_Test.zip
Maybe this works for you GPE users that need to restore. Please leave feedback if it does.
It is 4.4.2 ROM...
This worked except I can't authenticate to any wifi network.

Not at all but lets try to get it fully working.
---------
I am going to post a modified OTA so it can be flashed in recovery and see if it cures the wifi woes.
I think the system dump I am working with is missing some files since wifi is even acting up on GPE devices and ported ROM has no wifi working.
Give me a few and I will have modified OTA uploaded and then edit this post with a link.
Edit...
Mod_GPE-422_OTA.zip is the modified OTA. Should install properly through recovery. Please give feedback if it does install and if any previous issues are cleared up.
Thanks!

I may have one more method. Testing first on trying to convert normal gpad to gpe. If what I am making works then it should work on gpe too. Maybe it works on GPE and not regular gpad.
Will try to make a new recovery package in a little while.
I updated original post and the file will be done in about 20 minutes. It is 10:25 my time now.
Since the op was updated is this a working method to restore?
Woke up this morning to notification of new software update from att. I'm already on the official KK update from couple of months ago. Anybody else get this? What is the update?

Have you tried it on a device thats had the new ota update installed?
Also I thought there was a security concern with the kingo root method, something about it being from China and contains malwares that sends files back to its home server, supposedly these files are the ones necessary to clone the device.

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.
oh and to OP and others.. it's 10R.. not 10Q

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.
