I have just had a message telling me to update to 10g but once its downloaded and ready to flash it tells me my phone is rooted and wont upgrade. I have plugged my phone into LG suite on my pc and it tells me that im running the latest version when its not.
How do i OTA update now my phone is rooted?
Im using towelroot and on on 3UK 10a.:good:
I got the same OTA two days ago 10g, live in Norway and first OTA ever, upgrade went fine without issues despite root (purpledrake)
Says it optimizes power consumption/battery, still to be seen!
Strange, my free G3 /32Gb with Purple Root rejects to update via OTA due to root.
Tried with unroot with the option in SuperSU, no chance to get rid of the message:
"Could not update because you seems to have your device rooted"
Went through the whole process (30 Minutes or even more) with PC Suite and "Repair update errors" to get the new version (which killed the root access)

I bought my At&T Play this summer off ebay (probably a model handed out at a developers conference). It came rooted already, been using it fine. After hearing about the new update for HD video recording I went to update and realized I hadn't updated from 2.3.2.
Now, I know updating will unroot the device but I am pretty sure I don't use any of the rooted-features. Do I need to unroot before updating the device or can I just go ahead and update? I just want to avoid any issues from updating a rooted device.
make sure the bootloader is LOCKED! If you deleted any SYSTEM APPS you would NOT be able to update!
If the ota update is available for you then you can update and keep root but as Cat_On_Droid has said if you have uninstalled anything off the phone then ota updating will not work.
You will have to reflash to stock (2.3.2) > root > ota to be rooted on the latest fw. It all depends though if your provider has relased the new update for ota. Im not sure what the developers At&T device is running, maybe world generic?
If you update using pc companion or anything other than ota it will wipe your phone so no need to unroot when updating. I have used pc companion and seus to update before with a rooted phone and it just wipes the phone and reinstalls whats missing when it updates.
As Cat_On_Droid has also said make sure your bootloader is locked. If you update normally using PC companion, SEUS or ota with an unlocked bootloader it will brick your phone.

My E975 is rooted (not boot unlocked), I can download this update and the device restarts, then after a short time an error message comes up, the device restarts and loads as normal, then a message pops up that states root suspected, so cannot update
This appears to be a protective mechanism against rooting, so updates are only available for unrooted devices
Now, the solution seems simple, I unroot, update and then root again, however, I suspect it's not this simple
Can someone please advise if there is a workaround or would the simple option work?
As I don't want to lose root
Thank you

Which seems like much work for a small update
Is there any other method?
Current Software Version: Stock JB 4.1.2 (E97510h-EUR-XX)
I've unrooted and made sure there is no trace left, have restarted the device, then downloaded the V10J update via OTA, ran the update process, got to the update screen and at 3% progress get error 0x13E, device restarts and there is another error message that states:
- Software update, problem with installation
Have tried to update OTA 3 times and the issue is the same each time, I wonder if this is the same issue as last year on the AT&T version:

If anyone can help or hopefully explain what the error 0x13E is cause by/relates to?
Please reply here and it will be much appreciated :good:
Current Software Version: Stock JB 4.1.2 (E97510j-EUR-XX)
Gave up on OTA, soft bricked my device shortly after and used the KDZ Updater method from the FAQ (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434917), which updated my device, so I'm going to leave it there for now
Also, if anyone is wondering (like I was), yes, stock JB 4.1.2 (E97510j-EUR-XX) can be rooted via Framaroot, using the gandalf exploit and I had no related issues
Thank you :good:
My wife and I both have a SM-T900, mine is rooted hers is stock. Today she received the OTA update but I get a message that my device is modified and the update is not available. I then connect my device to my PC using Kies 3 and it tells me that a update is available. My question is can I go ahead and update my rooted device, will it screw anything up, will I still have rooted afterwards or will I have to re-root? I still have stock recovery.
yea, you just lose root after the update and you can re-root afterward. you wont lose anything. The update is very minimal so i would say wait until the official Lollipop comes out to update it.
I have no root or unlocked bootloader. My GPad downloads the update then reboots to install the update. Gets to 3% and gets error err 0x13e. Everyone I have checked has had root or custom bootloaders but my tablet is 100% stock. Any ideas on what I can do to get this update to go through?
Edit: FIXED. Used the update option through usb and it seems to be working fine
I went back to stock out of the box lg kitkat rom from cloudy rom by flashing KDZ.In my update app there is no ota software update showing,it is only showing as usual Lg app updates.I flashed the KDZ numerous times but not any outcome..Is my ota blocked due to flashing recovery or rooting?Do they do that?Did they block my imei?
Sometimes it takes awhile (may be upwards of two weeks or longer) before an OTA update shows up as available after flashing back to stock. And it wouldn't be blocked because you previously rooted and installed TWRP. Just make sure you don't do either if you plan on taking the OTA. If you had instead used LG PC Suite to go back to stock, you would have ended up w/ the latest software available for your phone, and wouldn't have to worry about taking an OTA update.
