Do you have superuser app on your phone now? Can you use root only apps? Do you have Kies downloaded on your PC?

Then use kies to grab the latest update.

I tried but the update doesnt pop up on kies.. yet it recognizes my device

Ok Kies finally told me that my device is not supported.. wtf? I take it that my phone is still rooted in some sort of way?

Do you know how to boot into recovery? If your on stock recovery and whoever unrooted your phone did not wipe data and cache it could give you issues.

F240K OTA again

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.

No knock code, but that can easily be added putting 2 files into system/apps from the G Pro 2. You can also add SlideAside.

AFAIK taking OTA update on rooted phone will brick the phone.
My phone got bricked when I accepted OTA update.

Well I am coming from Nexus 4 where even if u have root + Custom recovery your device will be fine after OTA just you lose root & custom recovey gets replaced with stock one.
In case of G2 it may brick if you have custom recovery but only rooted device & u accept OTA then it's fine, provided that u have not messed with sys apps & removed them.. I have taken 2 ota on my G2 LS 980 while I was rooted.
I think u must be running something lke xposed or may be u have removed some of sys apps... otherwise u will be fine with OTA on a rooted device.

I tried doing a Nandroid backup so if any case I have issues I can revert back...Intalled Twrp manager but then the twrp recovery does not install at all. I then tried flashify and download the IMG but my mistake that it was a zip file so it was supposed to be flashed and I just used flashify and selected the file which gave me error and I thought my phone was bricked...thankfully, pressed the start button for sometime and it started in the normal mode....whew...
I guess I never will be able to upgrade....

If you get update, it will fail in updating due to root. If you are on anything other then sprint. It will fail because of files changed

Sorry this is late.. What is your service provider? Maybe that is why you're not getting updates. Sprint and Boost will OTA update to ZVG which is the lollipop you're looking for. Or you can study the threads to get Cyanogen 12 which is lollipop (5.0.2) based. If you're on a different provider, it's possible your LS980 was flashed to work on their service which makes it ineligible to update to ZVG.

I want to root

Hello everyone, I want to root my LG g3 running 5.0.1 and I would like to use LG one click root. My question is how would I go about installing twrp or another custom recovery? Sorry I'm really new to rooting

Well rooting is really easy if you want to use vroot. Just search for vroot or iroot (an .apk that runs on your phone without connecting to a PC.) After you're rooted, just search through twrp threads on how to flash a recovery and unlocking your bootloader. If your bootloader is locked, you will end up bricking your device so be careful and do your homework first. Good luck

Sadly it didn't work but my phone software said modified. I checked with root checker and it told me I didn't have root. I used Verizon update assistant to bring it back to official software

Sorry it didn't work out for you. Keep searching threads and topics. There is a lot of support for the G3 on here. Wish I could be of more help to you, but sadly I only have the LG Intuition and there isn't any support for my device at all. If I come across something I will post it on here for you.
