[Q] Upgrading to ZVC From ZVA Rooted

Hello,
I have a G2 Running Stock LS980ZVA Kernel Version 3.4.0. Now I rooted the stock ROM and now got a notification to update the ROM to ZVC.
Now my dilemma is do I "Restart and Install" this update or not. Will this brick my phone?
I have TWRP running as the custom recovery. What should I be doing? I tried to search for a similar thread but couldn't find one.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you!

You will brick. Either hold your finger on the notification and then click app data. Click on the show notification. No check mark. Notification will go away.
Regular reboot will not install the update.
If you unroot and put regular recovery back. Then you could.

I have a kind of same problem, I'm from India and my uncle got me sprint lg g2 unlocked, which is rooted and on ZVA (4.2.2).
My question is should I install the OTA for kitkat?
Will i lose my unlock and root ?

I had the OTA downloaded but when i tried installing it, it did not install completely. Phone restarted and is still on 4.2.2 . Everything works as normal though, as I have been prompted 3 times to install the update.

okay, i did some research and found that it is safe to install OTAs but if youre rooted youll lose the root and unlock will still stay.
best imo, is you upgrade to 4.4.2 and root again with custom recovery and install a nice ROM.

You will need to Un-Root then update, then Re-Root.

Update my rooted phone

My unlocked and rooted h815 is running v10c-xx-eu and a custom recovery (twrp)
It run xposed and some cool module
There is an update for me
V 10 d
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2V...p=docslist_api
Can I ota update, or maybe I should use the pcsuite? Will I lose any data during the update? Is it safe?
Thanks

There's a flashable zip here which contains the stagefright fix, meaning it's the latest update, even though it has a different version name. It's from the Taiwanese (?) or whichever other version of the h815. Works on our international unbranded phones.
DON'T TAKE AN OTA

No, you can't update your phone wit ota if you have root. Is there twrp available for h815?

I only know that you can update your phone's software only with lg flash tool

but it wont brick the device by updating will it? it will just lose root??

I used the twrp zip in the link up
It worked well

I was in the same case. This is what I did:
I updated my rooted 10c (locked bootloader) to 10d (stock kdz image) with LG Flashtool.
After reboot, I switched off the phone BEFORE first setup.
Then I used the command tool to flash a rooted 10d.
I didin't loose any app, setting, or whatsoever...:good:

One way is to KDZ to 24C MM.
There is no way to root MM.

What happens when you try Phone Settings -> System updates (all the way at the bottom) -> Check for new system updates . That is the easiest way unless you are rooted.

From below linked thread get the 24C MM KDZ file and use LGUP PC utility linked in that thread to flash the KDZ using UPGRADE option unless you want to wipe your phone, in which case use the REFURBISH option:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/kdz-download-kdz-24c-official-lg-servers-t3317412
It is best to use the REFURBISH option and wipe your apps, so use the phone's Backup & reset option to make a backup to your external SD just in case the UPGRADE option does not boot and you need to do the REFURBISH option to get it working:

Nobody know to mankind on the planet earth has a rooted MM VS986 :laugh: ...... If you value root like I do, you stay with 13B Lollipop until someone figures out how to root MM on VS986.
The good new is you can try MM unrooted, then if you don't like it, go back to L rooted .

As long as you updated through the update center it's ok. Just don't use LG Bridge to update.
