you need to install stock recovery and make sure ur firmware is the same as the stock rom you are on, also make sure you havent deleted any syatem apps and then you should be fine

How do I verify if I have stock recovery?

Boot into recovery. If you see a black screen with a red triangle or green circle, that is stock recovery. If you see TWRP/CWM you are obviously still on custom recovery.
But in case that the system is not stock, lets assume some system file was missing, won't doing a factory reset resolve the problem since the factory reset is being done from the stock recovery!

Can i install jb on HTC_044?
No Im not sure if you can do that yet . As far as I know the JB update has only rolled out to CID_038 . Only way to find out is to revert to stock Rom and stock recovery and find out

Hi,
did you manage to install the update? I downloaded the update as well but when I try to install it goes into recovery starts the update and then after some time comes up with the red error triangle with the exclamation.
I had rooted my phone with a custom recovery and have got back to the stock ROM as I wanted the OTA update. I have the stock recovery flashed and the phone is relocked but still rooted.
I'd appreciate it if anyone has any idea why I cannot update.

are you sure? in the link below they say that you can update with root intact. if your correct then how can i remove root? is it a case of removing the SU application?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670433
No .... relocking the bootloader is not necessary......unrooting is !
With rom you need
Stock rom (root is NOT stock)
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
Bootloader can stay unlocked
With ruu you need to lock the bootloader that's it.

What's the error on the backup ?
I got the OTA update notification today, but I couldn't install because of CWM.
I modified the zip to remove the recovery check, but it's the first one I've ever done, so I'm not sure if it will work. Either way, you'll probably have to reflash CWM if it does work.
As always, I'm not responsible for anything that goes wrong with your phone. Whether it blows up, catches fire, or just bricks....not my fault.
Anways, here are both the OG and the modified versions of the OTA update.
UPDATE: I just flashed the modified zip and it installed fine. Got rid of that annoying notification and I still kept root by choosing to fix root after flashing it.

I am s-on, but unlocked and rooted. I'm still unlocked and I'm still rooted after applying this update. I wouldn't recommend doing it on another Rom though. It would probably fail.

This is just the update files from .08 to .10. They aren't full roms. There is another thread with stock roms, but I'm not sure about stock recovery. You may have to pull it from the RUU.

If you have custom recovery and root the ota update obviously wont work. I had asked the developer of root for our devices for the otas and this is what he had said:
dalingrin said:
My suggestion, if you want to keep root don't take an OTA.
If you really want to stay with stock LG then you'll want to flash updates via custom recovery. The community will take the updates from LG and make them flashable with TWRP or CWM.

so you ll have to wait for someone to make this update a flashable zip.

Yeah there is a script that runs when you do a OTA. My buddy had to completely restore to stock using download mode to fix his. You may get lucky with doing a factory wipe but sounds like flashing a new rom didn't even help... Look through the forums and find the thread that guides you through doing a regular restore (this will restore you to the original software. You will be unrooted and your recovery will go back to stock. This means you can do the OTA if you so desire. Just keep in mind it may block Loki and root)

Thanks for the reply mate,
Yeah i will do like that , but surely there is a way somewhere to remove the boot loop , from TWRP you can remove edit files.
So if someone with more knowledge tell us where the OTA files give the command to boot to recovery we can remove it.

Just tried the update to a stock (but rooted) Gpad
At 3% installing, error 0x13E
After booting, a samsung-like:laugh: message:
"This device is suspected in rooting. Software update is not available for rooted device"
Fortunately this tablet is not mine... This tablet needs a "google edition" update ASAP
Maybe somebody could cook this update into a package that can be flashed by people who are on stock, but rooted?

Phone has to be 100% stock, inc. the stock recovery and kernel, to flash an OTA file as it checks to make sure the phone is stock. ANY change to the original system and it'll fail

You have to have firmware that matches your hboot, and stock recovery. Doesn't matter if you are unlocked.
Hello, everybuddy, i recently installed twrp via flashify on my g3. Now that i see android L is being released, i would like to get the OTA for that so i have to get back to stock recovery. Can i just flash it via flashify? and if i can what do i flash? and will it be the same as it was before so i can get OTA? im also rooted, will i get eh OTA if i have root? i know it will kill it but i dont care about that, i just want to make sure ill get the OTA
Your best bet will probably be to follow this guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/firmware-t-mobile-lg-g3-t2818667
This will take you back to stock. Getting rid of TWRP is not enough to get OTA to successfully install. You also need to unroot and restore any apps that you may have frozen or removed such as CarrierIQ. Additionally remove xposed if running. Again, instead of going through that trouble, it would be easier to get restore to stock since it's a quick flash.
Note: I would not necessarily be in a hurry to take the OTA. It's possible that it may not be easy to obtain root. Thus I would suggest waiting till one of the devs has had the opportunity to review and confirm that root can still be obtained.

You still running pac rom? If so OTA will not work. However if you already flashed back to stock and are just rooted, then yes you can unroot and flash back the stock recovery. I believe the stock recovery can be found somewhere here. If I find a link I will post.

Hi, I am looking for flashing stock recovery on my LG G3 Sprint LS990. I believe the same method will work. I am currently running on stock ZVB ROM rooted and TWRP installed as recovery. In the download folder for LS990-ZVB http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3/LS990/stock_partitions/ZVB, there is no recovery image file, but in ZVA folder there is. I am just wondering if I can flash ZVA folder's recovery image using Flashify to my ZVB ROM LS990 and if that will work.
My LS990 is rooted and currently have TWRP. i get secure boot error when the phone reboots after accepting Android updates installation that come automatically. I believe installing stock recovery will resolve this issue and allow to install Android updates I do not want to going back to stock completely, that will unroot my phone and again I have do all these staffs.
Anyone can help to advise, will be appreciated. Thanks.
