[Q] Software Update for Rooted LG G3 - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the D855 international, with v10f. It's rooted with PurpleDrake Lite. The phone has just downloaded a software update, which I have NOT installed. Can I install it? If I do install it:
- will I need to root again?
- will anything else be affected?

If you run the software update it will either work (and root will be maintained) or it will fail with a message that your phone is suspected of being rooted and boot back up unchanged. If it fails then you need to unroot first by flashing a KDZ of the version you are using in Normal Flash mode to retain your data/apps

Like the guy said a couple posts up.... Flash KDZ of whatever firmware you're currently on in Normal Mode.
Then try again[emoji16]

You can try this method first to lose root and update your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
If not, you can also follow this guide to flash your current .kdz file again and lose root like that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2802286
If you want to find your current .kdz file, you can use this link:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI HERE
You have to put in your IMEI after the "=". That will take you to a page with some info. Use the link next to "<sw_url>", copy it and that will start the download of your latest rom (in form of a .kdz file).
(Not sure if I pasted the links in the correct order, but the first one should be regarding the use of LG PC Suite and the second one about flashing .kdz files)

{Q} flashing kdz and rooting

hello i have rooted previously using the universal root thing. now there is a new OTA update for my phone from 10f to 10g.

Kernel Ver: 3.4.0

well so now.. im confused. can i have a third opinion?
also is this guide accurate in flashing the kdz for lgog?
please help me i used the kdz updater software, and it crashed at unpacking kdz. now my phone is in download mode, and no matter what i do i cant exit it
Flashing with kdz updater will erase everything.
Using Lg mobile tool, it will not.However, to be safe, copy sensitive data on pc and backup your apps with Titanium or any other app.After backup, copy the backup folder on pc too.
Only after you've done this, proceed to next step and flash stock rom. @nuker, why the hell would you a software designed for another phone'??
There is already a tutorial here,sheesh.I guess you deserve it, like everybody rushing into things without reading before.

lg optimus radio not working..helpp
guys i need ur help..
here s wat i did and messed up
i m a beginner in this andriod field so need guidence
i own an lg optimus G e970 at & t version on ics
i rooted it.... installed slick JB on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2084431
but forgot to install the modem via recovery.... so when i turned my fone ON, i had carrier network signals available but wifi was not working....
so i didnt know anyway to make it work as i wanted to install terminal emulator and go into recovery from there (since my fone wouldnt goto recovery by power and volume down key.... only thing i knew was to flash an lg fone with a kdz file via marvin tool (R n D tool)
so i downloaded a KOREAN kdz for f180L and tried flashing it on my e970 via R n D tool...it was successfull but when my fone rebooted, it was country locked (required some password at the beggining)
so then i started looking for the other kdz,s available online (as i was specifically looking for kdz for at & t LGOG) but found that it uses tot file for flashing via LGNPST ( so i ignored it by thinking that i would go for kdz but couldnt find it)
(BY THIS TIME I HAD NO IDEA THAT MY RADIO IS DEAD)
then i found a brazilian kdz for e977 and flashed it to my fone via R n D tool and my fone booted up.....everything working but no network signal showing a sim error icon in status bar....i rooted it and installed at & t rom via zip via cwm n got n at & t rom but radio still not working
i tried installing e970 modem.zip and tried flashing tot via LGNPST but it doesnt work for me as LGNPST always give me errors.
when i backtracked everything, i found my mistake: people said that if u would flash a korean rom on a non-korean fone, u would loose ur radio.... thats the stupidity i did and now i n dammmnnnn frustated about it.....
even read about some efs file but no use...

[F240*]Root your G Pro Kitkat!

Manual root method for Optimus G Pro(F240*)!
I'm not sure about E99* devices, but it will work, if it has same AP.
Just double-click Run.bat and follow instructions, and you'll be rooted.
P.s don't post this on Korean site Devoloid, LG Deivce World. I already posted.

I rebooted in recovery after root, and I found the stock recovery again.
I assume this doesn't flash a custom recovery.
Just few questions: Will this root Optimus G Pro on KitKat only ?
I mean, if I didn't update and I were on 4.1.2, Could I use this root method to root my phone?
So if the answer at the previous question is a "yes" and since this root method is working on G pad and G2 too, Would it be possible to use this root method on G2 4.2.2 too ? Thanks.

Not sure about it, but both of them are possible, theoretically.
Any phone with system partition on /dev/.../msm_sdcc.1/... with stock recovery can use this tool.

Did you select "apply update from adb" on recovery mode?
Yes, I did. After I selecting ADB, the bat file tried to send the zip to my phone but then there is a message, device not found.
I installed the LG driver and the USB driver from SDK tools.
I can see that Windows found the phone from the device manager but it is not installed properly. I tried to update the driver by pointing to the INF file in the SDK usb driver folder but still no luck.

When Marshmallow arrives.

Hey guys!
So here we go, i recently have the latest firmware on my T-Mobile LG G4 rooted with TRWP so when Marshmallow arrives how can I update it? How can I restore factory settings so I can take the OTA?
If I remove super su and on his settings select un root, can I still take the OTA even if TRWP is installed?
Thanks anticipated

From what I've read, is that when you have a custom recovery installed you can't update OTA. You will need to flash a stock .kdz file.

Rooting w/ Kingroot (if it works) is only temproot, as soon as you reboot the phone root is gone. So this tute doesn't really give you the whole process to achieve perm root on your G3.

You have to download the latest version of Kingroot. I think it's 4.9.something. The links on some of the pages are to earlier versions that didn't work for me either. Search for the latest Kingroot version. I don't think it was on the main website.
To be honest I don;'t like Kingroot at all.
It installs it's self as a system app and puts this purify program on (and btw it's a temp root on the LG G3, if you restart , you have to do it again). And it seems to have issues with SuperUser once you flash the ROM. Some appz would get root access and others wouldn't. It was quite annoying. I am waiting for a Stock.zip of MM to come out before I go back to it. For now I would stick to LP 30E Bloatware free. Very easy to root.
And if anyone that is reading this knows how to get MM to stop asking you if you want to wipe your ass for every little thing tell me how to disable it. Every time I connect it to my PC, it's like "are you sure you want to allow USB connection?". No I slipped and it plugged in all by it's self! Even when doing some of the most basic stuff, it asks 'Allow' or 'Deny'? Extremely annoying. The only thing that is a plus is the Bluetooth function. It doesn't ask you to enter the '0000' or '11111' code when connecting different devices like it does on LP, KK, JB, and ICS.
Edit: The Kingroot version that worked for me was NewKingrootV4.9.6_C151_B329_en_release_2016_09_30.apk. I think the one on the Kingroot website is older and named "NewKingrootV4.9.6_C151_B309_en_release_2016_08_18_105203.apk". Just do a search for the former and it should work to temp Root MM. Remember, if you restart the phone the Root will go away.
Once you temp root it, download TWRP's latest version, twrp-3.0.0-0-d851.img or what ever and put it in the phones main directory. Then download the terminal emulator that has the green android fella on it from the play store and type these commands in:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp-3.0.0-0-d851.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
reboot recovery
(Just make sure in the line "dd if=/sdcard/twrp-3.0.0-0-d851.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery" you type the name of the TWRP img you put in the phone.

Not too long, if it is more that 10-15 mins, check your md5s.
Btw, 30e zips where filled in the same place, you can keep root if you root 30D, install twrp, then install new zips.
