I just hit update and it worked. I rooted via stumproot (brute force) and it still took the OTA. I don't know why it did without errors, I am using rootcloaker with xposed which may have blocked the OTA from seeing it was rooted.

Ok, I need some help. I've tried this method about 10 times and I can NEVER get the LG software to recognize my phone. I am using the official USB that came with my phone. I am willing to do anything at this point to get my phone working again. I've even looking into Titanium Backup to see if I could "Freeze" the OTA. I'm not really sure what or how to do that so I didn't do anything. Should I just flash a rom?
Please help

found this.. still not sure it will work

Sprint Zone Update? 3/16/13

So, I got this today, after a SCRTN:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Just being cautious, and want to know if this is just a simple sprint zone app update, or the OTA I didn't wait for.
Since I'm rooted on Lifeless 14, and unlocked, should I check it out?
My data is unbearable right now.. Even with the tweaks of Lifeless' Kernel. I would love if it was more than stupid app update. Like LTE.
Pardon my noob jiggle.

I am on stock ROM rooted and unlocked and I downloaded it and was fine. It is safe. I doubt it is different for you.

To recover OTA updates you need to reset your binary counter. (you need root access)
So you should root your device again then reset your counter and finally flash a stock firmware.

Or flash the rom with the LG Fashtool 2014, get the rom here http://lg-firmware-rom.com/. Do a data factory reset after the flash for the best result.
I have the same problem here.
How can i upgrade my lg g3?

Phone stuck on boot screen, bootloader fails

I have my cousin's phone right here - just yesterday he tried to update to Lollipop. He was on stock TouchWiz, no root or anything of the sort and installed the update.
Now, if I try to turn on the phone, all I get is this screen and it just stays there forever:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I try to boot into the bootloader, all I get is this: https://goo.gl/photos/WBSAcHhALQ9Jmz2n9
I really don't know what I would do here - can you do anything once your bootloader is f*ed up?
If it helps, the phone's model is SM-N7505
Yes, the same issue happened with me today on Note3 Neo. I rebooted the phone and it stuck on the same place. Checked in local phone repairing shop unable to make hard reset. They are suspecting of hardware issue. What could be the coz of this?

Try flashing the rom using odin

How would I do that without being able to access the bootloader? I haven't done much with Samsung devices yet, only with my HTC phones. I've heard of the name ODIN though... Are there any tutorials you can recommend?
You don't need bootloader to flash stock rom via Odin, you only need to access Download mode (vol. down+home+lock). You can look up tutorials on YT. Just type "How to flash stock Samsung rom using Odin". Hope that helps somehow

Firmware Download Mode (not bootloader )

Has anyone seen this on the Pixel?
I get this, when I turn off the phone and press volume up (only) then plug in the cable and get to this Download Mode that I has never seen on a Pixel. I always use bootloader to flash.

What is it for?
What firmware use ?
Is this new? ( I've seen this on a LG phone before )
P.S. I'm on Android Q beta Qpp2 (not rooted)

Yeah, it's been noted a while back. Unfortunately it is of no use to us unless you could get factory signed firmware from google, and then have the proper interface with which to install it. Some folks were messing with it in late 2017 to see if a root exploit could be found for the Verizon variant by installing it, however, it never came to fruition.

Thought that I would mess around with it.
It would be nice to have a different way to flash a firmware just in case the other method doesn't work.
Thanks
