Unroot using super su in order to get lollipop OTA

Hi there,
I was wondering if i can simply use the super su apps "full unroot" option in the settings to unroot my D850 so I can receive the OTA lollipop update? I have been stock this whole time, and just rooted in order to remove some apps and to use greenify. I have never flashed a rom or flashed a recovery. I did a few tweaks such as volume mods and added xcam for the lg g3. Please let me know if this is an option, i believe i rooted using purpledrake one click method a long time ago.

Hi! I'm in South Korea and I didn't receive the Lollipop update OTA.... I connected my phone to LG PC Suite and the phone updated from there.. and I didn't have to unroot. Have you tried connecting your phone to LG PC Suite and update from there? Good luck
When on KitKat .. OTA updates always gave me that message of rooting suspected even though I used SU to fully un-root..
IMO.. Lollipop sucks.. I was on Lollipop for a few days and went back to KK after a few days..LOL.. I'd suggest wait for root on Lollipop and then update...There's no root yet for Lollipop..

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I am using Mac and I think the pc suite is different from the windows version. Guess I will have to wait and borrow someone's pc and try updating through that. Thanks!

[Q] Unrooting gone wrong on LG G3

Hello everyone
I have just received a replacement LG G3 D855 after cracking the screen on my original. I used SuperSU to root my device to uninstall a load of bloatware system apps. I then tried to unroot my phone because a) Sky Go doesn't work on rooted devices and b) I wanted to update to Lollipop officially as I had done on my old device. I am also unable to reroot with SuperSU as it cannot install the binaries required.
Is anyone able to provide me with assistance in either properly unrooting, or rerooting and then installing Lollipop by other means and hiding root from Sky Go? I have searched other threads but I have no knowledge about recovery modes or flashing. I am on Three in the UK. Thanks

Thanks guys, I'll give it a go

Thank you very much that was incredibly simple - installed lollipop through the PC suite, keeping my apps without reinstalling bloatware, great!

Cannot root LG G3 (After Update)

Hi,
I got LG G3 (02, D855) and recently I updated as it required a software update. This removed root (it had root before, I installed root via the one click installer created by avicohh.). After this update I can no longer root, when I install SuperSU I get this dreadful error: there is no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it
I have tried one click installer + the GUI version as well, all seems to go well, but according to both scripts, but once I run SuperSU, it gives that error.
I've seen some posts which says I need to flash it or whatever, but I have no idea how to do this, prefer one click scripts!!
PS the software suite upgraded to latest version 5.0 Android.
Cheers
Asim

Sorry I can't help you but you have helped me... I too am rooted and last night the ota update downloaded and is now sitting on top of screen wanting me to install it.
I don't think I will now as would like to keep root.
Do you know how to get rid of the tick at top incase I accidentally install the update?
Regards diddle ?

Hi, in update center, you should be able to turn of automatic updates, also I think if you click the notification > click install later, it will ask you when to remind you, I think from this popup you should be able to abort installation.
Can't duplicate it since I already updated.

Worked asimr
Thanks for the help
Will wait till a working one click appears before I do any updates ����

Same problem as yours, after i unrooted my phone via supersu, i cant root anymore
I have tried to root the phone again in recovery mode or via adb... None of them success
Hope somebody can help :crying:

to Root or not to Root? Unlocked LG G4 H815

I just got my G4 Unlocked international H815 model. It's running 5.1 software on ATT. It keeps bugging me trying to OTA software update. Not sure what it's trying to update to exactly, because the only way to see more info is to hit continue with update and there's no turning back from there.
I love this phone unlocked! it didn't have any bloatware I usually root to delete when I get my phone from the carrier. It's got stuff like Wifi hotspot stock and the FM radio and charges over QI instead of Powercrap ... etc.
My question is
if it's already got most of the stuff I root to access, do I let the OTA update happen and risk not being able to root?
not sure what all I'd gain.
I'm wary about rooting because my last phone was the LG G3 and I rooted it and despite me disabling all update processes, it updated itself one day on my way to work and got screwed up so bad I had to force a downgrade and put a rom on it and after a couple days of holding a 600$ paperweight, I finally got it up and running on a rom... still had some bugs but it worked.
I REALLY want to avoid that nightmare with this 3 day old phone.
opinions welcome!
Thanks

Are you saying it's already rooted? If it is, the OTA won't work anyway. You have to unroot and flash the update using LG bridge. but then you can just root it again using the same method. The update doesn't block root. Lots of us have done it. Read the rooting threads.

G4 TweaksBox. One reason to root. ^_^

Adaway, no more adverts in apps. another (big for me) reason to root.

What version are you on now? It's probably only the stagefright fix.

Root...flash TWRP...flash cyanogen 12.1
Install xposed framework and get the YouTube adaway module. That's deffo a reason to ROOT.

You need an unlocked bootloader to flash TWRP / CM.
I'm running stock v10d + root. Works awesomely.

Yes mine's unlocked, NOT rooted. apparently the update it was trying to do automatically wasn't a big update because it decided it had waited long enough and did it on its own, rebooted and its still at
5.1
I'm still trying to wrap my head around all the terminology and methods of rooting droids- I came from the dark side- I've jailbroken every iphone since the first one they ever produced. My G3 was my first real phone, but like I said, I had it for a couple months stock, rooted it, and almost immediately it went kamikaze OTA update while rooted and went haywire. I limped by with a mediocre rom for another 8 months, until some drunk A Hole destroyed it on Halloween. I may or may not be said A Hole haha
So I guess now my question is, once rooted, am I stuck at 5.1 forever with no security updates, software patches ETC?
and since most people don't have a true unlocked phone, is this process easier to do? I'm probably asking in the wrong forum section now aren't I?

I sure hope at this point if you truly have an unlocked bootloader, that you have the latest MM version 20B installed and have root! - I find that the stock ROM is the best performing and least buggy of any of them (with some minor tweakin)

Unable to Unlock BootLoader. SOS!!!
Hi guys! need a lil help here. I have LG G4 H815. Now this is what's happening :
1. I have tried t install LG drivers a million times but in the device manager, there's always some problem with them during the installation.
2. Therefore, I'm unable to locate my phone using 'adb devices'. I'm stuck on this first step for last 1 week and I have tried every available lg driver on the internet but still the result is same.
3. I'm using Windows 8 Pro.
What's the solution here guys? Your help will highly be appreciated.

you need "disable driver signature verification" to install it
(advanced reboot options from windows)

Still stuck!

I did as you said and disabled the driver signature verification at restart. Uninstalled the driver and installed again but still the problem persists.
When I connect the phone, LGE Android phone appears with a yellow question mark in the device manager. When I try to update the driver, it says that
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
MTP USB Device.
The system cannot find the file specified."
Still can't locate the device with adb. Please help me!

However bootloader unlock is not available for the H815P... :/

But sir, my phone is H-815, not H-815P.
Please help me where I'm making the mistake. I want to root my phone but nothing is helping me out.

want to root lg g3 d85130e

Hi I have a lg g3 t mobile 285130e and I ve been trying to root it and nothing works, watching here and there I have not found yet a way to root it. I want it rooted because LG has dropped the updates of system in this phone and it is such a good one that I don't want to change though, Looking forward to try Cyanogen mod or lineage OS android 7.0.1 ...so if anyone could point me out to someone that successfully has rooted one of these phones, let me know, please thanks.

Have not worked with lg. To Root phone install TWRP for your device model, then install supersu zip. After restart get root checker basic to verify phone is rooted.
