[Q] OTA update 3.26.605.1

I recently started getting system update notices for 3.26.605.1 on my D-Inc.
I'm running the "standard" clockworkmod recovery that flashed when I rooted the phone. As I understand it, I can not install the update because I'm rooted so is there a way that I can stop the notices (without unrooting and going stock)?
I've also read chatter on other forums about a fix or "root version" on the way from unrevoked, but I haven't been able to find anything official.
Can anyone confirm an update from unrevoked?
Thanks.

Hey Dude,
I figured I would get to you before the wolves do lol you'll probably get a better response to your questions in the "General" section. To answer you directly there is already rooted versions of this OTA such as (shameless plug) both my Roms Redemptive rEVOlution (Evo hybrid) and Redemption Rom.

OK. Thanks.

I've been hitting Cancel on that update message for the last 2 weeks. Today I read about it a bit, and finally just gave in and ran the update. I don't know if it actually updated, but the message is gone, it says my system is up to date, and I still have S-OFF/root. FWIW.

I saw that, thanks. I wanted the update, I just couldn't find any solid answers on whether it disabled root or not. It sounded like it disabled root but left S-OFF alone, so I did ran the update, thinking I could root it again later. But now I still have root, so I don't know if the update was actually applied or not.
I'm not worried either way, it was just an experience relevant to the OP's question.

Go into Settings/About Phone and see what firmware version you have, if it's 26 your updated, if it's still 21, it didn't update.
If you don't know if it's updated, it's prolly not. You would've known as it would've rebooted and then had run the update. If you don't recall any of that, your not updated.
Like was posted previously, you'd be better off finding which ROM has the update and then just flash that, be sure to do a backup 1st and foremost in case you screw up, you can always flash back to what you had and start over.
The only way that update will take is if you have stock with just root and no changes, I did this initially though and you will loose root, which is why I recommend you backup before trying, this way you don't have to root over again.

Edit build.prop. Here is the configuration you'll need to change to stop the OTA updates. This will also help save your battery if it frequently tries to download on 3G.

If you want to stay put on the version you have now, not accept the update, not be bothered by it again, then following bsdbytes's info for editing the build.prop is what you need to do.
If you want to accept and the NOV OTA update and still have clockworkmod recovery and root after... see -> http://solo.dc3.com/dinc/ (If you have an SLCD incredible, be carefull of which CWM Recovery version you use).

The current Unrevoked3 (ver 3.21) does not work to root the Nov OTA, nor install a custom recovery. There were tweets about an update coming, but delays due to thanksgiving, finals, etc. I haven't seen an ETA posted yet.

thanks for the info. you're right, it didn't update, i'm still at 21. when i clicked update a window came up saying it was going to reboot, but it never did. must be due to change i had on the device.

Need help finding a link to the right update

I have already looked here and on Google, but I have not been able to find the right update for me. I am on 4.1.1 rooted and I already tried to flash the stock 4.1.2 update and it didn't work. I'm not sure if it matters but I have the I317UCALJ2 baseband on my AT&T Note 2 and I did the mod to carrier unlock it and to be able to use the AWS bands on it. I don't want to wipe all my info, but I also want to be able to update somehow.

After doing some more research I've found that the update order I have to follow is I317UCALL1 > I317UCAMA4 > I317UCAMC3 according to this http://www.att.com/esupport/softwareUpdateArticle.jsp?sid=KB418382&cv=820#fbid=6HHfk80HyVy but since I'm not using AT&T I'm not able to download the files and I can't find them online either. I'm not using the stock recovery which might be an issue too I'm assuming. I have the root keeper app which I can use in case I loose root so I don't mind that. Does any one have the files or links?

According to that page I found on AT&T's sire the first update I need is 179MB and I've downloaded a zip file that is 178MB and it claims to update from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 but when I go to the system folder in the update zip there is a text file called CSCVersion.txt and the only thing in it is I317ATTALK7. Is that the supposed to be the baseband version or something else? I might just make a backup and try it.

Just remove root as outlined in the "return to stock" thread. .. (it's a sticky thread)...
Once root is removed. ..take the ATT factory update via OTA...
Once completed. ..you can simply root again using CF auto root...and done. ..
Baseband changes are easy. ..after you have updated and rooted again. ..
The process is simple. .and after reading your posts. ..it's clear that you are over complicating the process. .
Take your time reading the return to stock. ..as you are half way there already. ..
It's literally a 20 minute process once you read the steps and get ready. ..g

So my phone should be able to find the ota even though I'm not on at&T's network? Because it doesn't even without root. When I go to check for updates I get a message saying I'm up to date. I don't mind having to delete all the info from the phone since I can use Titanium backup but I don't know if I would get the OTA update if i'm not on AT&T's network, I'm currently on a prepaid network and from what I understand the update is downloaded from AT&T's servers.

update question 10b

SO I am pretty new to the lg family coming from galaxy since the first one. but I am curious since I am still on the 10b firmware and don't want to update. if later in time they release something that unlocks the bootloader on 11a can I update using the kdz method even if Verizon releases a newer method than even 11a? sorry if this is confusing.

My suggestion would be to just root and get on the same firmware that everyone else is. You never know if something will come out blocking the ability to kdz but it's up to you
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

Yeah i thought about it but what if they only find a way to unlock the bootloader on 10b. I screwed myself with the galaxy s4 with taking a system update. So now im extra cautions. But i am debating doing thhe update and if i do should i do the kdz or the ota method by verizon.
Sent from my VS986

I saw someone on the other forum that uploaded the 10b kdz file to have them root that one maybe just wait for that file to be rooted if you don't want to go to 11a. Personally I think they are going to use 11a if they find a bootloader unlock because that is the rooted firmware they put out in the first place.
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

Yeah i also thought about that because i thought i remember someone saying it auto updated and they posted about not being able to roll back. But ill see if they root 10b within a day or 2 ill go that route if not ill update and do it the 11a route. I already downloaded everything for the 11a root but kinda am kickin my feet
Sent from my VS986

Hold tight, devs just got a 10b system image. We should see 10b rooted in the next day or two. I'm in the same boat, don't want to upgrade yet. I have a feeling we will see a bootloader work around rather than a full unlock.
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

Sounds good and im completely happy with a work around. My s4 i had to use safestrap. But yeah thanks guys for all the help.
Sent from my VS986

ive made a post about the update you can get vs986a11 (next update) rooted, i crashed my 10b and now got it fixed and rooted check out this post and ope it helps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...walk-threw-t3166078/post62055730#post62055730

Keep on 10b and if you do update do the manual way, Verizon update could potentially be an even newer one that just released and no one knew about yet, always do manual if possible in my opinion. Either way as everyone else suggested keep on 10b and wait for a root file for it which they said any day now.

Does anyone here kno how to save and also make a stock img from my phone. Im new to this and would like to kno how to proper have a back up and think it would be safe to have to stored when i do my root. Thanks in advance.

TMO Update

Just got my D851 with stock 5.0.1 preinstalled.
Its telling me to update the phone.
Has anyone updated via the air method?
Not sure what it is but wanted to be sure if its MM or 5.1.1 before I moved forward

As a rule of thumb if you plan to root, you should NEVER update. Updating will usually patch any exploits the devs use to root our phones. It depends on what you want to do with your phone down the line.... Update at your own risk.

@tiguy99, also it's definitely not MM. I'm not even sure 5.1.1 was ever released either.
I know the D851 has been unlocked from the get-go (didn't need bumping like the others in the past) but as the previous post alluded to, the OTA just might lock it down. Be sure and be careful.

Sorry, my post was not helpful. Here is something you can do: long press on the update notification and click on the "info" icon and disable the notification. This way you are less likely to accidentally update, and it won't bother you as much.

If it is a stock D851 running on Tmo, then the update is probably the recent update of 20e (released back on June 9) to 20g (released back in October). There has been a lot of that just within the last 60 days. However, it is still Android 5.0.1. Tmo has NOT upgraded our G3 to anything beyond 5.0.1 yet, but has committed to updating us to Marshmallow Android 6, probably sometime in the next 3 months.
As for the update, all 20g did was patch the Stagefright vulnerability that had been discovered back in August. That was a vulnerability in Lollipop wordwide on all carriers. Look at your phone info under settings. If you are on 20e, it will not hurt at all to upgrade. But in any case, the update you are seeing is DEFINITELY NOT 5.1.1 and it is DEFINITELY NOT Marshmallow. It is still 5.0.1. Good luck.
Please hit the THANKS button if I helped you.

I got mine week ago and updated it didn't root but used Newest Root Method in general section and finally got it.

That being said, I made the mistake of updating. Now I'm having a very hard time trying to root my D851 20g. Can I restore to Kitkat for the purpose of rooting?

Dude this is the wrong forum for a question like this. Should be in Q&A or General. You'll get better answers there.

No need. Google 'Newest root method' D851 xda download file thru your browser double click on windows batch file. Follow prompts. Hope this helps you out.

I too got my D851 last week. It had KK 4.2.2 and wanted to update. So I decided to go ahead and do the OTA. The final result was 5.0.1 D85120g. I don't think there are any higher updates yet. Rooted without issue using Newest Root Method mentioned above, again, without issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
However, if you are still unsure, you can always downgrade to a lower version. You will have to do a search for D85110r in the KDZ file version and find the loader for that file. Took me a little time to find it but I have both the KDZ file and loader.

I tried that 1 click method and it failed. I have the &D851 20g Lollipop 5.0.1. Any idea why it's failing other than error on my behalf?

I believe it's because you've downloaded 20G. Probably got patched. Did the method I mentioned work out for you?

This thread will tell you how to downgrade from MM to LP. It works. I had the same problem you did.

Yep, That worked for me. You need to "return to stock" like post above and downgrade the firmware. Use the 13b firmware stock, so you can just flash over it with the 13b rooted file. Easiest way i found. And That is the program that MUST be used. The other way WILL fail every time.
We just need a UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER so we can custom recovery like TWRP and start flashing ROMS!
