If you get update, it will fail in updating due to root. If you are on anything other then sprint. It will fail because of files changed

Sorry this is late.. What is your service provider? Maybe that is why you're not getting updates. Sprint and Boost will OTA update to ZVG which is the lollipop you're looking for. Or you can study the threads to get Cyanogen 12 which is lollipop (5.0.2) based. If you're on a different provider, it's possible your LS980 was flashed to work on their service which makes it ineligible to update to ZVG.

tnx for answer but i want to update official rom!
Use a computer that runs the LG suite software and do a complete new install.
If it's only rooted, you can unroot it and then do the OTA.
Though you may want to use the 18a update instead due to the gamma fix.

Yes only rooted
How to unroot?
A factory reset on most stocks unroots.
I rooted with Kingo Android Root, it has an option to unroot.
Other rooting scripts/tools for the pad may have it too.

AFAIK taking OTA update on rooted phone will brick the phone.
My phone got bricked when I accepted OTA update.

Well I am coming from Nexus 4 where even if u have root + Custom recovery your device will be fine after OTA just you lose root & custom recovey gets replaced with stock one.
In case of G2 it may brick if you have custom recovery but only rooted device & u accept OTA then it's fine, provided that u have not messed with sys apps & removed them.. I have taken 2 ota on my G2 LS 980 while I was rooted.
I think u must be running something lke xposed or may be u have removed some of sys apps... otherwise u will be fine with OTA on a rooted device.

I tried doing a Nandroid backup so if any case I have issues I can revert back...Intalled Twrp manager but then the twrp recovery does not install at all. I then tried flashify and download the IMG but my mistake that it was a zip file so it was supposed to be flashed and I just used flashify and selected the file which gave me error and I thought my phone was bricked...thankfully, pressed the start button for sometime and it started in the normal mode....whew...
I guess I never will be able to upgrade....
today i received an ota update to v10e i had root using towelroot :

Would you mind telling us what you did when you gained root access? We have one report that ioroot + xposed prevents OTA update. Did you do anything to your phone after you gaining root access?
Which variant of the G3 is this for? nothing shows up on mine 16gb/2gb Euro version on v10a.
32gb/3gb V10a-EUR-XX also shows no update... (ioroot)
no idea, i got the v10e update but once its downloaded it says that my phone is suspected from being rooted (which it was)
mine is D855 16gb int. version..
i rooted my phone with towelroot + using xposed
from what im seeing ota works only with towelroot with ioroot not working
Also just got the update. Looks like it's brand new so we still have no clue about the changes except for Power Optimizations?
can anyone provide a screenshot of power optimization please?
thanks.
disabling xposed & root doesn't help. any idea?

If on the D855 you can follow the guide in my signature to unroot without wiping.
Might be a good idea to wait and see if they backported the 4.4.4 towelroot patch before unrooting and installing the OTA.
Witch root apps do you have?
Because it sais that I'm rooted and can't update. I have root explorer, cerberus and titanium

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.

Kingroot 4.1 can root Kitkat/LP but not Marshallow. I tried Kingroot 5.2 on MM did not work either so I end up downgrade to KK/LP and root it. Then can flash custom roms. For MM I seen method on other forum just a bit complicated to do it.
