With help of members here, I was able to successfully root, install TWRP and flash Justin's ROM to use a domestic SIM card in LS980 and it seems working perfectly! However, I got a notification on my phone that update was downloaded and ready to be installed. I remember reading somewhere that installing this update will undo the root, flash, and etc.
Can someone explain how to disable T-Mobile OTA updates on LS980 flashed with Justin's ROM?

Do you know how to disable permanently this auto update even if user press to update ? What is the .apk to remove/freeze ?

The KK update is available for my 8.3 now (USA). I've never used KK on any device, so I'm not certain on what it brings to the table for a device like this.
I'm assuming updating will kill my root. If so, is there a method for keeping it or re-rooting?
It seems like there are issues with the update. Is it the recommendation of those who have updated to stick with 4.2.2 JB?
IOroot25 works!

I think that IOroot25 methon works with all g series with 4.4.2 fine. i tried it!

Updating with root in place may not work and may cause problems. The IORoot method will let you root the 4.4 release based upon what I have read. The safest approach would be to either go all custom (install custom recovery, update to a 4.4.2 custom stock rom), or revert back to stock and then upgrade before rooting and then root once you have updated to 4.4 using the IORoot method.
You can try it on your mobile.
I'm having KK and it's work very well.

I can vouch for this. Don't try updating with root. It put me in a TWRP boot loop. Fortunately, the LG Mobile Tool rescued it. Long process that would have been better spent unrooting and re-rooting after update.
I think I'll just stick with 4.2.2 for now, to avoid issues with Flash.

I think you should update to kit Kat update. It brings many new features, Plus you get new LG on screen keyboard themes, and the transparent when using other third-party launchers. And security fixes. So why staying on old jelly bean?

It's important to me because I switch apps a lot, and long press actions are just no substitute for a proper recents key.
In stock 4.4.2 the G2 exposed module does no longer provide a recents key, nor does any of the other modules.
And since I also want to keep qremote the other kitkat roms are not an option. In fact, for those reasons I downgraded back to stock 4.2.2
If I would have to choose between having qremote and a recents key, I'd probably sacrifice qremote.

You are wrong. I have stock KK, I have G2 Xposed installed and I have a recents button.
That is very strange, because I'm not the only one reporting that it doesn't work under kitkat anymore.
Definitely doesn't work here.

Are you sure you installed it properly? You see, when I gave the advice, it was after installing and testing it. So it was not a suggestion to attempt, but to solve. Here is exactly what I did:
1) Download G2 Xposed (I have the paid full version, and do not know if the Navigation Bar options are limited to it). A new version was released a day or two ago BTW.
2) Installed and opened it. It now asks to download and install the Xposed Framework. I did so and it downloads latest.apk (also a new version).
3) I install it and it asks to reboot. I do so immediately. I do not activate the G2 Xposed yet.
4) After rebooting, I open G2 Xposed and it now asks me to activate the mod. I click the button, and activate the mod. It now asks me to reboot again. I first turn on the Navigation Bar options, and change the number of buttons to four, but do not set the buttons as I cannot yet. Now I reboot.
5) After rebooting I enter G2 Xposed and enter the Navigation Bar options. I set the buttons and bingo.
Just received the OTA... After download cannot install due to the device been rooted.
Any idea how to bypass the root check or install?
You can try this app -
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amphoras.hidemyroot
But I think it will not work, you can trick some apps but can't trick the OTG (OS).
I think I've tried everything to hide root. I've even unrooted and it still won't update. You have to reflash the stock rom to get it to update OTA. If only someone knew where it's downloading to so that we can extract and manually update.

Hello XDA Developers! How are you doing?
I just got a Notification that, an update is available for my N7 2013. I guess it is the 4.4.3 one.
So, I rooted it with the Nexus Toolkit when I got the Tablet and have since then gotten around playing with Xposed (GravityBox[KK], Youtube AdAway, Instagram Downloader and AppOpsXposed).
My Questions now are the following:
Should I just OTA Update or should I take my Nexus Toolkit and use that?
Do I have to uninstall all the Xposed stuff? (everything on the latest stable version offered to me)
Is it necessary to Root again or is the Kernel still rooted afterwards?
Any resets necessary? Just a cache one?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
Best Regards

Give this thread a read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2523217. It's simple to understand and super informative when it comes to updating OTAs. I know it's in the Nexus 5 forums, but the same principals apply.

Thanks allot! Read through but still got some questions:
If I want to OTA I have to go completely Stock I understand this now but, if I use the Nexus Toolkit, do I still need to Uninstall everything Xposed related and go back to stock first? Or just uninstall everything Xposed and continue with the Toolkits FW Flashing and afterwards re-rooting?
OR just use the Toolkit and everything is good to go?
Thanks again!

Not exactly sure how the toolkit works to update. I don't use them since I'm not a fan of toolkits. If it just boots you into custom recovery and flashes the OTA, then you need to be stock (with Xposed Framework uninstalled). If it boots you into the bootloader and fastboot flashes the individual image files, you don't need to uninstall, but you will need to reinstall/activate the framework after booting into 4.4.3. You'll also need to re-root, unless the toolkit does that for you too after updating.

Alright thanks again!
It has been quite some time since I last used it so I googled it again and found this http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-t...ndroid-4-4-3-without-losing-any-data-0155334/
In the end there is this
You should now be up to date, with root and custom recovery restored and all of your data intact. If you use Xposed, you'll have to install the framework again for your modules to become active.

You should flash back to stock and update. Cannot install OTA over a rooted rom I believe.

I was rooted I use this post, and the is a link in that thread to the actual zip your will need, and also you must have the updated TWRP as well. All the information is in that thread. but that is literally it.
Download update zip
Download Flashfire
download new TWRP
Back up you crap ( will not wipe SD card unless you tell it to )
Run FlashFire, set setting correctly
run it, you will already be rooted when done
set dev mode
re-flash new TWRP
PROFIT
Did you get the option "Restore boot and recovery images" when setting Flash OTA zip? I just got Auto mount and Mount /system read/write.

If you have Xposed just get Android N-ify and it's just like having 7.0
Anyone updated from DP5 / systemless root / TWRP?
And flashed zip for adaway to work.
What are the steps to update with ota zip?
Yes and everything is ok. Follow the steps carm01 suggests some post above. Its easy and at least for me everything worked. After fisrt boot you can go to TWRP and flash everything else you need.
