Has anybody tried this yet? I want to know before I take the Lollipop update, just incase ROOT is released for KK.
If not, can somebody try?

Actually, we are going to have root in days. It is supposedly going to work with both KK and Lollipop, but take it with a grain of salt. Play safe and Do NOT take the OTA until it is confirmed to work with lollipop.
Thats what I have herd. But, it's just so hard to hit that refuse button. I would love to know if its possible. I'm sure the developers would like to know also. I know that Verizon does some freaky stuff with their updates sometimes. Just wanting to make sure they have not blacklisted 4.4 after the 5.0 update, in the bootloader.
You would do well to find the thread in this section entitled "Disable Knox and the OTA" or something like that.

Just wondering if this OTA will download and apply automatically or if I have to OK it. I have a rooted slide with slidemeroot5 and I don't want to lose root or anything. If someone can answer please let me know, thanks!
Its for the stock ROM so you wouldn't even be able to apply it anyway. If you were stock and rooted it would take the root away. I would say best bet is to wait until a Dev applies the changes to their ROM and then flash that.

To implement the OTA into a ROM, the dev needs the OTA file. If he downloads the OTA and doesn't install it, then pulls it as described in a thread in the Slide General forum, then contacts a dev such as ChiefzReloaded and gives him the OTA file, then proper development can continue.
There is something on the tmo press release that confused me. It says that you will be notified by a free sms msg. Is this how all ota updates have come out? I have never had a stock android at the time of an update (rooted my g1 first day out of the box). If so, then I know how to go about pulling the file down for a dev; and I will when my daughter gets her update (if someone hasnt already beat me to it that is). If this is not the usual way; will pulling the file still be possible?
The press release also mentions something about them not being able to manually update subscribers any sooner than the 19th. Is this just their way of saying dont call us if you havent gotten your update yet? Thats kinda funny if that's all it is, lol.

That's exactly what it means. What else could it possibly mean other than that? I work for T-Mobile and if you were to call asking about the update before then, I'd tell you to call back if you don't get it by the 20th. We literally can't push the OTA.
It could possibly mean that there is no download for it available to public devices. Im just trying to make sure that when my daughters phone updates i will be able to pull the logcat and have a download url

If and when the Gingerbread update gets pushed out, how will us custom ROMmers be notified? Will we receive notifications asking us to download the update and then have to deny it? Will we have to unroot then upgrade? I wasn't around for the 2.2 update so I am a little curious as to how this all works on the Evo. Feel like such a noob right now but I really don't feel liking bricking my Evo due to an act of stupidity.
Don't have to unroot, it should show there is an update, update and it will take off root and go to stock 2.3, anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
You aren't going to need to do anything, other than NOT take the OTA. The only thing you will need to do is wait from 2-10 hours after the update is out in the wild for the devs to get their hands on it and give us a fully rooted build to flash. It does not take long around here. There is absolutely no need to unroot and take the OTA. Who knows, if you did that you may not even be able to root again. So basically all you're going to need to do for the update is wait for the devs, and then flash a rom as usual. Maybe some new radios or something too, who knows.
I'm more concerned about when they will push the damn update. *Supposedly* it's Q2, but I'd bet if that's true, it will be late Q2.

Sure, lots of people say "wait for a rooted version of the update," but all I want to know is, is it POSSIBLE to safely upgrade even if you are rooted? Would flashing the stock update remove ClockWork recovery?
yes i was rooted before 2.2 and i was having a crazy day, long story short i accepted the OTA not paying attention and it got me a weird reboot then i was unrooted and on 2.2 i had to wait for a root method for it. but i heard of some people having their phone glitch in crazy ways, also that first OTA sprint rolled out had a bug that was bricking some phones

Developers will simply make new roms, and then you can flash the "update" of that rom. it'd be the same way of flashing CM7 nightlies.
Or just make sure you are s-off, take the update, install it. Then install SU from recovery and you are good to go. Thats the whole point of s-off (other than flashing PRI, NV, and Radios of course)
rugedraw said:
If you rooted with Unrevoked and have Unrevoked Forever, then theoretically you should be able to flash the update and still be s-off to flash a rooted rom over the update. You'd have to push the custom recovery back onto the phone, though. However, I wouldn't be the guinea pig for the theory myself. I'd keep 2.2 until a rooted 2.3 rom is available and then flash that. No one knows what will happen if you flash the OTA update as no one has is or knows what's inside of it.
Once it starts being pushed out, it will just be a matter of time before some posts a thread either:
a) crying because the update broke their root.
b) gloating because the update did NOT break their root.
Basically, don't accept it. Play it safe and wait. We've been on 2.2 for well over half a year, so 1 more day isn't going to kill anyone.

To make it simple, the result of accepting the OTA would either:
A- luckily do nothing
B- "Break" your phone and not be able to re-root

You are correct!
Theoretical question... If you're on a custom non-stock ROM (Myn or CM or whatever) and you accept the OTA, what would happen to the ROM? I don't think it would revert you back to the stock ROM because that ROM isn't on your phone anymore. I can't imagine CM would continue to work since it's not Sense. Would a Sense-based ROM (assuming you reinstalled all the Sprint bloatware) continue working with all the customizations even though you don't have root any more? Or does the OTA rewrite the entire ROM? Or would you just screw up your phone unpredictably?
I'm certainly not going to try this myself, but I'm curious as to what would happen.

The OTA update would include the new stock 2.3 rom in it. It would wipe whatever you have on your phone (regardless of whether it is Sense or not) and install the OEM Sprint 2.3-based rom that all will eventually be on all new Evos when HTC ships them out.
Been reading alot about HTC releasing the 4.3 update for the US HTC One.
I know work is being done to unlock and root and all that good stuff, so my question is, would it be safer to not take the update and stay on 4.2.2 and hope a exploit is found or just take the 4.3 update and also hope a exploit is found.
my worry is if I do take the 4.3 update, verizon would fix any known or unknown exploit that would unlock this phone.

Verizon was missing from the latest 4.3 tweet..... I would assume no though, dont take the update is usually the safe call.
Don't take the update because it will likely be on this forum for flashable download within hours or overnight.
Short answer: No!!!!
If you can, use logcat to grab the ota link. If not, let it download and then upload the ota zip so we can patch it over the base

Never ever ever ever take an ota. Roms will come beforehand anyways.

Didnt the blue one come with 4.3?
No, never take an ota. All you are doing is locking yourself out when you could get a custom 4.3 rom with a custom kernel which are undeniably better.
Nope. Verizon is now being targeted for Oct.
I have a lg g3 (verizon) with 5.0.1 rooted. Is it safe to update to 5.1.1? Has anyone tried? I want to but im afraid it'll break my root completely or my phone will brick. I can't lose my root because ill lose a lot of features. So if someone has tried or is willing to try that'd be awesome!
Same boat. I'll be watching this for an answer.

Reflash stock recovery and you should be fine
OTA usually removes root. You can reroot it after you install the OTA
No update for the d855 or other versions ?!

Well I recommend a clean TOT or KDZ flash. Hope this will fix your problem. Please do follow this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2785089 to flash TOT or KDZ then update via OTA. Thanks!
DO NOT TAKE THE UPDATE
...if you want root, etc. Currently there is no way to root 35b and no way to roll back to an earlier version. They patched some things up it seems.
Some brave souls took the update and are stuck now... http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-5-1-1-ota-t3220693/post63200915#post63200915
Freeze with tibu (or delete) the system update apk to stop the notification.

I just update my rooted 5.0.1 VS985 to 5.1.1, gotta say , this new system is more battery save. i turn on the music and LG health and mobile data when i took exercise tonight for about 2 hours, and it's only cost 3% of the battery.and you know,lots of useless Verizon apps and others, but it's fine, i can disable it in app manager.
Yea I noticed that with this new update as well.
I'm little sour about being in un-rooted state.
But the battery life is noticeably better.
Maybe this option was there but I noticed new options under the developer setting where you can restrict amount of background apps running. I believe this helps out a lot as well.
Just an update on the update...
On vs985 it looks like someone was able to successfully TOT back from the 35B update, so people shouldn't be stuck anymore if they took the OTA(see post 84 here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ing-takethe-vs98535b-5-1-1-ota-t3220693/page9). Root is still not available for people who took the 35B OTA yet, but there are 2 stock based rooted 35B ROMs available now: Jasmine and Skydragon. I think the only thing that isn't functional is advanced calling because we can only use the 24b modem with the 35b ROM due to the 12b bootloaders we have that allow us to have TWRP...or something like that. So it'll be a 35b ROM and all it's updated glory - running a 24b modem.
Just got my D851 with stock 5.0.1 preinstalled.
Its telling me to update the phone.
Has anyone updated via the air method?
Not sure what it is but wanted to be sure if its MM or 5.1.1 before I moved forward

As a rule of thumb if you plan to root, you should NEVER update. Updating will usually patch any exploits the devs use to root our phones. It depends on what you want to do with your phone down the line.... Update at your own risk.
@tiguy99, also it's definitely not MM. I'm not even sure 5.1.1 was ever released either.
I know the D851 has been unlocked from the get-go (didn't need bumping like the others in the past) but as the previous post alluded to, the OTA just might lock it down. Be sure and be careful.

Sorry, my post was not helpful. Here is something you can do: long press on the update notification and click on the "info" icon and disable the notification. This way you are less likely to accidentally update, and it won't bother you as much.

If it is a stock D851 running on Tmo, then the update is probably the recent update of 20e (released back on June 9) to 20g (released back in October). There has been a lot of that just within the last 60 days. However, it is still Android 5.0.1. Tmo has NOT upgraded our G3 to anything beyond 5.0.1 yet, but has committed to updating us to Marshmallow Android 6, probably sometime in the next 3 months.
As for the update, all 20g did was patch the Stagefright vulnerability that had been discovered back in August. That was a vulnerability in Lollipop wordwide on all carriers. Look at your phone info under settings. If you are on 20e, it will not hurt at all to upgrade. But in any case, the update you are seeing is DEFINITELY NOT 5.1.1 and it is DEFINITELY NOT Marshmallow. It is still 5.0.1. Good luck.

I got mine week ago and updated it didn't root but used Newest Root Method in general section and finally got it.

No need. Google 'Newest root method' D851 xda download file thru your browser double click on windows batch file. Follow prompts. Hope this helps you out.
I too got my D851 last week. It had KK 4.2.2 and wanted to update. So I decided to go ahead and do the OTA. The final result was 5.0.1 D85120g. I don't think there are any higher updates yet. Rooted without issue using Newest Root Method mentioned above, again, without issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
However, if you are still unsure, you can always downgrade to a lower version. You will have to do a search for D85110r in the KDZ file version and find the loader for that file. Took me a little time to find it but I have both the KDZ file and loader.
