Last time I received a LG software update it finally installed by itself and soft bricked my phone. I was rooted unlocked running CWM. Now I am just rooted and received LG's software update and I can't get rid of it. Is there a way to remove this software update altogether and not have it return? I can just postpone it for four hours.... what can I do?
Thanks...
rename lg software update in system/apps
freeze it with tibu
unistall it using rom manager.
Since you are rooted there are plenty things you can do to remove it.
Although maybe (just maybe) you're the first to get the 4.2 update..

So I'm rooted, running the Rogers kernel and the AT&T rom. I've removed the bloatware myself. Today I was notified of an AT&T update. My phone will download it, but it fails to install.
Anybody else experiencing this?

Probably failing a check sum. I'm avoiding updates in case they update something that prevents me from rooting.
I am rooted as well, and don't want the update.
Is there a way to disable the update checking?
I am getting this prompt also, and I wish to disable it (until I know what the update will do)
EDIT: For now I just leave my WiFi disabled (as it will only update over WiFi)
I still want to disable the checking though
i just got the update and it now says android 2.3.6

I know that before updates install they check can check your phone and if packages have been removed, like you did, it can block the update. You may have to restore the packages that you removed before it will install.
This is the first phone I have rooted. I would like to know what the update changes, specifically if it fixes the Android OS high battery usage. Also if the update causes you to lose root or can be rooted after.

Got the update, and it is stuck at 74%. Has been for about 20 minutes. I'm not rooted. Think I should wait or pull the batt?
I've got the update downloaded and I'm rooted. Haven't installed the update yet, because I'm wondering if this will unroot my phone and bring back our friends from Carrier IQ…
Looking at the 2.3.6 changelog for a Galaxy S2 their update actually removed CarrierIQ

Same here. Rooted with Rogers kernel, AT&T ROM. Still failed the update even with the default launcher, USB Debugging set to off, and default packages (bloatware) intact. Is there a method to "unrooting" and restoring the default unrooted kernel/ROM? Would someone have had to backed up or dumped their ROM first somehow? (ODIN?)

Same here. Boots into software update mode. Fails. Restarts.
Girlfriends phone tried to update, I turned off Wifi, then went to Running Services, stopped "Device Management" from running, installed Autostarts, disable Device Management from starting, turned on Wifi, hasn't seemed to come back as of yet.
Rooted AT&T rom FYI

Exact same problem on my wife's phone...she got the update today....she is NOT rooted, and also got stuck at 74% during the update. Not sure whether to pull the battery or just wait longer?
Well, since nobody has been answering my questions about this update I figured no one knows so I went ahead and installed it. I'll take my turn at Guinea pig.
I rooted the phone previously with the guide here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-captivate-glide-rogers-and-att/ , not the one on XDA. I have also removed the tetheringmanager package.
The update installed fine and I still have root. Version says 2.3.6. Don't know what it did.
Lookout labs Carrier IQ detector says I do not have CIQ
I installed this update it
Did work, I still have root it also did remove carrier IQ as mentioned, it did not hang for me. I checked to see if carrier IQ was removed with titanium backup, Android is now 2.3.6, and kernel is now 2.6.36.3 not sure what it was
Before base band is now i927uckl1 not sure if that changed either.
Hope this was of help

Hi Guys,
So I received my F240S from Korea 2 months ago, the first thing I did was ROOT, and uninstall all the Korean software does not make sense to me. now I noticed there is official update, no biggy, just 4 or 5mb of size, but it does not allow me to update as I am ROOTed.
Any idea how to get around?
Thanks
Dennis
I just received my F240S today and I haven't rooted yet (if you can advise me on how to do so that would be great).
I'm guessing the only work around for this issue is to backup your Applications/Games using Titanium Backup, and your SMS and Call logs using SMS Backup and Restore and Call Log Backup and Restore, then reset to factory settings (hopefully that will remove root), do the official update, then root again and restore everything using the software names above.
I updated my F240s today but don't know what changes it has brought around yet !

I think you have to download a pc-suite like program and you can manually update from there. You may find this link useful: http://optimusforums.com/threads/wtf-no-software-updates-from-lg-for-rooted-phones.8055/
You have to use the LG PC Suite and do it directly from PC. After you are done you will need to rooted back again. Its a pain cause sometimes a update will not let you root the phone again. So make sure someone has found a exploit to root that update before doing it.

Hi all, my gf and I both received the update for v10p. She updated and I didn't because she is not root and the update aborted on me since I rooted mine with stump.
It just said value package update (156MB). Haven't seen any differences for now. Any one got it also? Is it rootable with the current methods?

Upgrade details
It's not rootable, don't take OTA's.
What is your previous version?
I'm using f460l and still on v10k.

I guess is a too new version to have root available yet?

Mine is still on 10J because I couldn't update due to being root.
My phone is still root after the v10P update (ota).
Unfreeze all bloatwares or system apps (if some are frozen).
If you don't have any result, you need to go back to stock, there's no other solution.
I uninstalled bloatware using titanium backup and converted Google search and play services to user app to fix the battery drain using greenify. Might this be the issue?
By the way, have you found any noticeable differences with the update?
Cheers
No, I just saw little changes about the Google Apps but nothing else (no more battery life or something)
A very minor update as I can see.
I have a Sprint S6 with rooted stock G920PVPS3CPD2. I have been getting a notification for a software update, and I was wondering if it's safe to take it or if I should just ignore it.
its safe.
however, are you rooted? how can you upgrade being rooted?
Yes, I'm rooted with a custom recovery. That's what I was wondering, if the update would mess things up or brick the phone.
If it fails to download, does that mean the update won't be installed? I'd like to update to the latest version but don't want to mess anything up.

Hello guys. I've rooted my phone using King-Root, One Click method. Now, I need my phone to be unrooted, because I want to upgrade OS version through the official system upgrade option. Will flashing stock rom unroot my phone? Please guide me.

I'm getting a message that says 'Can't check for updates while in roaming network. Connect to wifi network.' As I can't connect to a wifi right now, am unable to capture the screenshot of the software update notification. My current OS version is 5.1.1 and I'm getting an update notification for OS v6.
Back to my topic, is there a way to unroot the phone? It would really help me.

Are you sure its v6? Do you have K420DS (Indian) version. You can remove root in the Kingoroot App or Root manager app. Check that once. A better thing would be if you take a screenshot we can confirm it with other users of K420DS.

It's a Software Update. I have unrooted my phone using SuperSU. Though I have confirmed the unroot using Root-Cheker, the second picture is of the error I got while installing the update -
What options do I have now?

This isn't Marshmallow update... it is a very old update we got in February. It is still 'Lollipop'.

Yes, it's not marshmallow!! Just a simple bug fix update. I rooted my phone in January, so I couldn't install this update. This update notification is long due for me (kinda forgot what it was exactly, hence the misunderstanding)
But still, my issue isn't solved. You got any clue why am I getting this error? Will re-rooting my phone properly and un-rooting again solve it?

Since your system is modified .i.e. you have "root" access, OTA updates don't work.
