Ic... but i have search on web it must download whole filmware. Is there any easy method to unroot?
Sent from my LG-E988 using Tapatalk
Nope. One click unroot apps don't remove all traces of root. Once you root, the only way to unroot is to flash it completely back to stock. You could waste your time trying to download the update but all it will do is detect your root and cancel.
how r you planning on updating to KK via OTA? or LG flash tool? if u r going to use LG flash tool to update to KK you dont need to unroot! if you are going to update Via OTA, then you need to unroot! and have stock recovery!

And all (if any) bloatware
System (system directory) and phone must be exactly like you got the phone before you rooted it and did anything to it.

You have to unroot. Then install the update via ota. Then re root.

It doesn't matter. The easiest way is to connect it to your pc via LG Support Tool which will update your phone regardless of your root/unlocked status.

No, I'm just wasting my time giving bogus assistance to people.
Of course I am sure it works. I've done it before as many other users in the past.
If you already have the latest kdz file, you can do it in a quicker way by using the flashtool but it sounds like you're new to all this.
You can unroot & update via OTA or use the support tool which will download the updated firmware and install it for you regardless of your root/unlocked status as I've mentioned before (select Update Recovery).
You won't lose any data or settings. It's like dirty flashing a custom rom.

If you're unsure about using the support tool, why don't you just unroot and update via OTA? Like I said above, if you decide to use the support tool, select "update recovery" (your phone should be connected as LG software usb mode). It will put your phone into a download mode, download the latest firmware (1.6gb), and proceed with the installation. If you choose the OTA method, the download size is much smaller.

Ok im now confused. When i want to install it via ota update i have just to unroot the phone, because i read that if you have an unlocked bootloader it will stick in a bootloop? So i have to go in supersu and click full unroot and install the update and re-root and the unlocked booltloader doesn't matter??
And via support tool: i have to connect the phone to the computer and download the full firmware and i don't lose the data, is it right? Sorry for this stupid questions but i have no idea.

In your case, since you have unlocked bootloader, you have to use the support tool. If you have only rooted the phone, you can use the OTA after unroot.

Just flash stock recovery first and as long you dont modified anything, just rooted, the ota will go through. I heard you might loose the root after ota.

You already in stock 4.4.2 just rooted and twrp. All you need is stock recovery and checknthe updates and receive the ota. Check the xda thread if its true that once you accepted the 4.4.3 ota, you will loose root.

i can root in 4.4.3 ???
I was on the original 1.12 firmware, but here was my process.
I relocked my bootloader, used the 1.57 RUU to return to stock. Updated to 4.4.3 with the OTA, went back through the HTC Dev unlock process to unlock my bootloader, then flashed TWRP.
From there you can install a custom rom or use TWRP to inject root to the stock rom.

No. I had to go to the HTC Dev site and put in new token info to get a new binary.
Hello, yesterday I had rooted LG G3 with Cloudy G3 and TWRP Recovery installed. But I "flashed" Stock Firmware (KDZ) 21A Europe (IMEI CHECK) And now I cant root my mobile successfully, It means if i want root i must go back to like 20T and other versions?
EDIT: Rooted with KingRoot and TWRP recovery flashed with LG G3 Auto-rec Lollipop app from GP.

One way is using kingoroot, then install SuperSU thru play store and make it install normally, then get autorec for mm and reboot to recovery
