How to update rooted G3 ? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

do i have to unroot in order to update ?
what about updating my rooted g3 through lg pc suite? would that work?
would this method work : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-unroot-ota-using-lg-pc-suite-pc-t2802286
or is there any other way to do it without having to unroot?

What model of G3 do you have, and do you have TWRP installed?

d855 .. international 32 gb model
no TWRP.. only supersu which i just uninstalled

Same question.Do i need to unroot my device ?
And what about custom rom ? Cloudy cant be updated to Marshmallow right ?

that moment when even xda forum can't give u a clear answer !!

Sometimes using an OTA works. If not, flash KDZ to stock and update via PC Suite.

You have to flash stock TOT or KDZ to get official update. please do follow this post to update your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089

no need to flash anything...
update through lg pc suite worked just fine.
and i also found that it includes "fix upgrade errors".. which should get ur phone to perfect stock shape, without having to delete any files.

It depend on which KK version you are using. You should use towelroot (v20A) or adb sideload (v20B), please read more at http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-intl/help/how-to-root-lg-optimus-g-e975-kitkat4-4-t2834981

I used Framaroot to unroot after failing with the other root/unroot options. Then I updated via computer using "mobile support tool". OTA update did not work for me!
And have been using 4.4.2 (V20a EUR OPEN) without bugs (that I am aware of ) for about a week now.

I had problem using the mobile support tool, turned out it did not work on usb 3.0 ports, switched to a 2.0 port and then it worked, so if anyone still cant update with the supporttool then try to hardreset your phone and make sure to use a 2.0 usb port,

If I downgrade to Lollipop from Marshmallow can I root?

Hi Guys,
I tried rooting my Marhsmallow LG G4 now and I couldn't get passed the step where you type in "ID" in accordance with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765.
I read somewhere that it was because I upgraded to MarshMallow.
Now - I want to know - If I downgrade to Lollipop can I follow the above root again and it will work?
Thanks!
Yeah.its possible. I returned lollipop from mm using LG up. Used to inject root and I'm using currently my g4 with root access.my recommend try to inject root. You don't need to open bootloader lock.

G3 root problem [Help/urgent]

My phone is LG G3 D855 international model and I recently have upgraded it to android 6.0. However I am quite disappointed with the performance to its performance and would like to downgrade it to the older version like android 4.4 so as for easy root of the phone and flash fulmics rom. And a problem comes out- I cant downgrade it officially ! No matter I am flashing in tot files or kdz files, I can't downgrade. So I tried to root it directly and no matter what method suggested in the net , I failed to root my phone. Errors,errors, and errors...I am enough with errors and would like to ask for help in order to solve my problem. I genuinely want to flash the fulmic rom into my phone! My phone lags so much!!!!

Do you want to make a clean downgrade to Android Kitkat from Marshmallow? From what I see, you're root. If you do not have recovery installed, you can install the official app of TWRP which does install the recovery. After that, download Kitkat official rom in format zip (look in xda threads) and formats your rom from the recovery. For example, the name of the rom for my variant (Lg g3 D851) is D85120G-Rom_Untouched_Stock_Restore.zip

Root question about F400K

Hey. I am using G3 F400K on version F400K30k and I can't root my device with any methods on the site. Can I root my device if I flash lollipop stock rom. I just want to ask because I have so much data on my phone and I don't want to format for nothing.
