That will be the reason you couldn't accept the OTA then

Would you mind telling us what you did when you gained root access? We have one report that ioroot + xposed prevents OTA update. Did you do anything to your phone after you gaining root access?

Which variant of the G3 is this for? nothing shows up on mine 16gb/2gb Euro version on v10a.

32gb/3gb V10a-EUR-XX also shows no update... (ioroot)

no idea, i got the v10e update but once its downloaded it says that my phone is suspected from being rooted (which it was)
mine is D855 16gb int. version..

i rooted my phone with towelroot + using xposed
from what im seeing ota works only with towelroot with ioroot not working

Also just got the update. Looks like it's brand new so we still have no clue about the changes except for Power Optimizations?

can anyone provide a screenshot of power optimization please?
thanks.

disabling xposed & root doesn't help. any idea?

If on the D855 you can follow the guide in my signature to unroot without wiping.

Might be a good idea to wait and see if they backported the 4.4.4 towelroot patch before unrooting and installing the OTA.

Witch root apps do you have?
Because it sais that I'm rooted and can't update. I have root explorer, cerberus and titanium

Verizon still on 10B... says no new update.

I have a D855 Euro version on O2 (v10a), have installed Towelroot (no xposed installed), but mine says that there are no updates available, im using the latest software version according to the update checker.

Curious Update (Korean carrier)

So I've been checking daily for the JB update, and came across this small update today.
I attempted to apply this update, but was greeted with the following message after a failed update attempt.
So, is this LG attempting to patch the root exploit, or just being d! cks?
And, what is the simplest way to unroot? (just root, not bootloader unlocked)

Just wow. I have the F180K, rooted - installed 2 updates came over OTA - no problems. Root still here by the way.
Also OTA says no updates for me
Tried disabling Superuser in SuperSU and that didn't work. Tried enabling Survival mode in SuperSU Pro and that didn't work. Might just take my chances, run the full unroot, update, and hope that I can re-root.

My rooted Rogers LG-E971 just tried to run an OTA software update. Said update was cancelled because of suspected root.
I am curious to know what has been updated if anybody has or can find that information.
Yes! This problem can be solved, please read my post on this thread:

Pushed the update V10p via LGmobile Support Tool. Update completed, lost root, unable to re-root via Bin4ry method or otherwise. :shrug: Guess I wait for a new root method if one ever surfaces.
I have the .kdz from before the V10p update, could always revert back and root if I wanted to. Don't really see any need to at this moment.
Just received a 3rd update for F180K, but while installation it shows error 0x13E, probably cause of unlocked boot

I received that error with just root, never had bootloader unlocked.
Does anybody knows where the update is stored on phone?

So, did you get the V10p update and maintain root?
My one is V10K, phone was already rooted and it still here after update.

Yea, I maintained root up to and including V10n. It is V10p that seems to break root and prevents re-rooting.

Must be we have different models, cause in case of F180K, firmware story was like this:
Orginal: V10h -> V10n -> V10i -> V10k :Latest

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.

You sir are correct... Towelroot is not supported on NL1 using my P600 in process of downgrading and flashing custom as I am not happy with the performance of the new update.

I rooted NI1 using the same tool so it should be ok. Towelroot never work with p600 so you your case is not valid.

Thanks, this is I want to hear and now I can update.
Thought since geohot worked for google and all new updates would make towelroot unvalid.

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.
