Hi there,
If I'm correct, you can't use an official OTA when rooted, so you'll either have to go back to stock (there are multiple tutorials in the General forum)or wait for someone here on XDA to create flashable zip for your model.
Or just use PC Suite to do an update.
Hello to everyone, i use a long time android device's, but first time using LG, as "jhericurls" wrote , that we can use PCsuite for updates. My question is about.
If we use PCsuite to install updates, will the phone loose root and let's say be like stock, (in my case phone rooted with phildrake* and has stock recovery)
*phildrake-i am currently on the phone and not shure that is the name of utility used for root.

If you update with the pcsuite you lose root so far i know you can root it again.

So how can three users stuck on 10a update to the latest version ?
I hesitated but not long, updated through PCsuite, i lost root and made me a problem that Google play services were gone "removed" from my phone, had to do hard reset and use purple drake again which worked with no problem.

Hi Guys,
So I received my F240S from Korea 2 months ago, the first thing I did was ROOT, and uninstall all the Korean software does not make sense to me. now I noticed there is official update, no biggy, just 4 or 5mb of size, but it does not allow me to update as I am ROOTed.
Any idea how to get around?
Thanks
Dennis
I just received my F240S today and I haven't rooted yet (if you can advise me on how to do so that would be great).
I'm guessing the only work around for this issue is to backup your Applications/Games using Titanium Backup, and your SMS and Call logs using SMS Backup and Restore and Call Log Backup and Restore, then reset to factory settings (hopefully that will remove root), do the official update, then root again and restore everything using the software names above.
I updated my F240s today but don't know what changes it has brought around yet !

I think you have to download a pc-suite like program and you can manually update from there. You may find this link useful: http://optimusforums.com/threads/wtf-no-software-updates-from-lg-for-rooted-phones.8055/
You have to use the LG PC Suite and do it directly from PC. After you are done you will need to rooted back again. Its a pain cause sometimes a update will not let you root the phone again. So make sure someone has found a exploit to root that update before doing it.

Last time I received a LG software update it finally installed by itself and soft bricked my phone. I was rooted unlocked running CWM. Now I am just rooted and received LG's software update and I can't get rid of it. Is there a way to remove this software update altogether and not have it return? I can just postpone it for four hours.... what can I do?
Thanks...
rename lg software update in system/apps
freeze it with tibu
unistall it using rom manager.
Since you are rooted there are plenty things you can do to remove it.
Although maybe (just maybe) you're the first to get the 4.2 update..

Hi,
I have the D855 in the UK (unbranded, rooted) and when I plug the phone into the PC software or use the OTA updater, I only get 10a as the latest version but I know others have updated many times after that. Does anyone know the reason?
Thanks.

I'm on 10h so yea there should be an update for you, not a very helpful answer for you I know You can use the flashtool and flash a newer one yourself, I've never used it but appears simple enough. Or you could use pc suite and restore upgrade errors and then see what it says.

The PC suite says no upgrades available. http://lg-firmware-rom.com says the latest is 10a too. What am I missing or where can I download the newer version from?

Hi everyone, i am using Sprint G2 (Refurbished, without root) in Pakistan, when i bought this phone and booted first time, after a few hours my device notified me for software update, i accept to download it and after downloading installed successfully, my software has changed into ls980ZVE, that updates was approx 650 Mbs, but that was modifying updates for Kitkat, so it means my phone can get OTA updates by their developers, but i feel really unlucky when i saw my friends Sprint G2 updated with 5.0.2 lollipop ? i asked him that is this device rooted and installed custom Rom? He denied and said i got OTA lollipop update for lollipop and installed.. now i am so worried why my device doesn't get lollipop yet?? Same phone, same carrier unlocked, same models.. so what is the matter with me??? ?
Kindly help me to resolve this issue.. thanks in advance ?

Hey mate... The t mobile version of the g3 is the easiest one to root because it comes with factory unlocked bootloader... Go to the g3 tmobile section...

Just type G3 in find a device, you'll see t-mobile g3 android development... Purpledrake lite is just for other variants of the g3...
