You will have to unroot if you want to install the update.
Think you may have to disable xposed also, one the update is done, you can root again and enable xposed again.
If anything goes wrong, you can always download a stock rom from one of the threads, which includes the update you are taking about and flash it yourself with flash tool 2014.
The most important thing to always remeber is to flash things that are made for the same model of your phone.

Last week, LG G3 notified me of software upgrade, I was running 10i at that time. So I went ahead and upgraded. I was expecting to get 10L but somehow it upgraded from 10i to 10J. So now I am running V10J-SEA-XX. I am not able to get OTA update as it shows that I am running the latest version which is not true. It shows last update on 24th Oct 2014. I am in India, phone was purchased from Dubai.
In hope to get 10L, I installed the LG Mobile Software Tool and to my pleasant surprise, it showed me an upgrade. I started the upgrade process, it download 1136.13MBytes of upgrade and started upgrading my phone. It failed in first attempt and it prompted me to remove battery, restart and press retry button which I did.
On Second attempt, everything went smooth, phone was rebooted in the firmware download mode, I could see 0-100% progress and the entire upgrade completed as expected.
However, when phone was restarted, I see that I am still on the same software, V10J-SEA-XX. It even shows last update on 24th Oct 2014 ( OTA date). I restarted LG Mobile Software Tool and it again shown the update available. When I choose to upgarde, it again downloaded the same 1136.13MBytes file. This time upgrade process completed in first time itself. Unfortunately, I am still on the same version.
Any help will be appreciated.
I read on the thread somewhere exactly same issue as yours and someone suggested that u should change your port to 41...
Doa bit of research and u will find the solution !

Well, I saw a few threads, not sure the one you suggested but that solution is possibly applicable if the device was not recognized. Here I could see the progress on both LG tool and mobile so both are communicating fine. Pls correct me if I am wrong.
Anyway, changed the port to COM41 and trying again.
Update: Repeated the entire procedure with COM41. This solution doesn't work. I am still on the same V10J-SEA-XX.

Bump...can anyone help?
Thanks
Same Problem
Hi there sorry I can't help but I have the same problem.
Live in the UK but purchased an SEA version. Didn't realise it would cause me such an issue.
Unfortunately, I don't want to root my phone as it will possibly disable my Barclays Bank Mobile Banking app which is pretty useful to me.
My only hope is that LG will upgrade the SEA version to L when it does all the other regions as well.

I am fine with rooting if that solves an issue. Any lead?
I just received an OTA update but it only updated to v10K, strangely no v10L yet.
contacted lg
Someone asked lg uae this question and what they have said is that the v10j or which ever one youve got for the region of ur phone is the same as the other regions' v10L or v10n and it isnt more advanced than ur version of v10...
(I cant post links because i am a new user)
Evidence is on the LG UAE twitter @lggulf approx 25 postd down
I live in uae and my g3 updated to 10k today
Hey guys,
I really hope someone will be able to help me out.
I will try and provide as much information as possible.
I own an D855 bought from Germany. The phone originally came with the stock rom 4.4 I believe. I had rooted the phone using purple drake. few days ago I update the phone to 5.0 Lollipop, the official version rolled out by LG.
I lost the root after update and didn't re-root. Today during work my phone had gone into a boot loop (Logo->restart->logo-Restart). I though "okay that's fine , when I get home I'll look into the unbrick methods and fix this easily" Wrong.
I tried using the instructions provided by the user zedomax on youtu "How to Unroot/Unbrick LG G3!"
Downloaded all the drivers and the LG g3 Flash tool. Also downloaded a European stock rom. I got to around the 6:35 mark on the video, removed the cable and replugged it. Then the phone just shutdown and started a boot loop again. The boot loop had now changed to Logo->Firmware update page->restart->logo->firmware update page->restart.
Now I can't put the phone into firmware update mode anymore and I am really scared the phone is hard bricked. What is the next thing I can try?
I am offering a 60€ bounty to whoever has a fix for this.
I can also try taking a video of the boot loop if that would be of any help.
If I would try and RMA the phone, does anyone know would there be any sign of rooting. I had previously had the phone rooted on the official 4.4 build (using purple drake) and then I updated to 5.0, but didn't root.

i have same problem with g3 f400
please help me
Hi guys i'm new to all this soo here is what i did.
I recently rooted my lg g3 V10l-EUR-XX and now i want to unroot it ... but the problem is that i found only the kdz file without the dll file ...
Can you please help me find it or if it's possible to downgrade it from v10l ? Sorry if i said something strange or impossible but i'm a complete newbie with the roots and stuff
If you download the LG PC Suite and click on "Restore Upgrade errors" it should reflash the current version, but i'm not sure as it might download the latest which is lollipop.
You could also flash your KDZ file using the LG Flash Tool. Without the need for a DLL file.

Because i have been reading a lot of post this week and everything messed up. That's why i didn't see that the LG Flash Tool doesn't require .dll file. I just brought my LG to stock and everything is fine ... Thank you for ''enlighting'' me ! :good:
In fact i have one more question ... probably a silly one but still. When the LG was still rooted i got an update for v20e i think but i didn't install it because i assumed that it will be bad and it will ''brick'' my phone ... and now when it's stock i don't have that update. What should i do or it is just a matter of time the update to show up ?

Since you device in now unrooted there will be no problem in updating. The update may show up some time, but you can always flash it if you want to.
NOTE: Lollipop CAN NOT be rooted.

and this can take between an hour and several days, so either wait for it or flash as suggested.

I have tried for the last 3 hours trying to root this thing. I have installed the lg drivers, t mobile drivers and tried to root with , purpledrake lite , i get a error saying that my that i am running incompatible software version,so then saids returning back to normal mode , no change, i wanted to find the full version of purpledrake ,but could not find that anywhere ,
tried kingroot , saids unsupported, tried stump root , saids not supported . any suggestions would be great would suck if cant get this rooted cause i really want to install cygogenmod 12 , heard the software is great and good battery . thanks for your time. I tried lg one click root. look like was going to rooted , went through the list and said was done, when i rebooted the phone installed root checker , saids i have not rooted.

Hey mate... The t mobile version of the g3 is the easiest one to root because it comes with factory unlocked bootloader... Go to the g3 tmobile section...

Hi
I can't update my LG G3 D855.
Two days ago, my phone started downloading the new software update (v21a-OCT-2015).
Once downloaded, I am asked to install it. But instead of starting the installation, the phone restarts... and doesn't install anything after restarting.
I tried to re-download/install the software a few times but it didn't work.
What can I do about that?
Is there a magic setting to solve this issue?
Thanks
Dont update when rooted u will brick thats the fundemetal rule of rooting

Its not an issue, its normal.
Its blocking update because it could brick your phone.
If you really want to update, you need to flash the kdz.

OK. I was not aware of that. I am not an expert.
So better wait for Android 6 if I really want to update the software and then reroot it again.
Thanks
Yes. Ive not looked into marsh yet but keep in mind i dont know how readily root and custom recovery will be available best thing to do is wait for mm and then wait for someone to make a prerooted custom rom for it i never jump on the upgrade wagon i wait for everyone else to so i can see how easy it will be. honestly i didnt update to lolipop til about a month ago just cause of the bugs.
