When Marshmallow arrives. - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
So here we go, i recently have the latest firmware on my T-Mobile LG G4 rooted with TRWP so when Marshmallow arrives how can I update it? How can I restore factory settings so I can take the OTA?
If I remove super su and on his settings select un root, can I still take the OTA even if TRWP is installed?
Thanks anticipated

From what I've read, is that when you have a custom recovery installed you can't update OTA. You will need to flash a stock .kdz file.

Does flashing the KDZ file requires a PC? Or that flashes with TWRP?

F240K OTA again

Just received the OTA... After download cannot install due to the device been rooted.
Any idea how to bypass the root check or install?
You can try this app -
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amphoras.hidemyroot
But I think it will not work, you can trick some apps but can't trick the OTG (OS).
I think I've tried everything to hide root. I've even unrooted and it still won't update. You have to reflash the stock rom to get it to update OTA. If only someone knew where it's downloading to so that we can extract and manually update.

No knock code, but that can easily be added putting 2 files into system/apps from the G Pro 2. You can also add SlideAside.

[Q] Software Update for Rooted LG G3

I have the D855 international, with v10f. It's rooted with PurpleDrake Lite. The phone has just downloaded a software update, which I have NOT installed. Can I install it? If I do install it:
- will I need to root again?
- will anything else be affected?

If you run the software update it will either work (and root will be maintained) or it will fail with a message that your phone is suspected of being rooted and boot back up unchanged. If it fails then you need to unroot first by flashing a KDZ of the version you are using in Normal Flash mode to retain your data/apps

Like the guy said a couple posts up.... Flash KDZ of whatever firmware you're currently on in Normal Mode.
Then try again[emoji16]

You can try this method first to lose root and update your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
If not, you can also follow this guide to flash your current .kdz file again and lose root like that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2802286
If you want to find your current .kdz file, you can use this link:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI HERE
You have to put in your IMEI after the "=". That will take you to a page with some info. Use the link next to "<sw_url>", copy it and that will start the download of your latest rom (in form of a .kdz file).
(Not sure if I pasted the links in the correct order, but the first one should be regarding the use of LG PC Suite and the second one about flashing .kdz files)

LG upgrade tool sucks

had to manually install drivers, did not work through tool. and when I clicked upgrade it said I was up to date on 4.4.2. I got it to work by clicking the drop down in the top right corner and clicking upgrade recovery.
Did you happen to click "Options" on the top right then upgrade recovery?

Same here. I've been trying support tool since yesterday. Upgrade recovery tells me there is nothing to fix.
I'm on 10R rooted with twrp 2.8.6.1.

Make sure you don't take an OTA or upgrade to LP via the support tool w/ TWRP installed (or any third party recovery for that matter).

Use KDZ tool.
See the sticky.
Honestly if you have twrp just upgrade to Lollipop via Autoprime's zip directly from twrp. They are stock roms directly from Tmobile so Wifi calling and VoLTE is included. Also the it will be rooted too. Unless you don't want twrp or root you can use the KDZ tool.

Yeah that would clean wipe it, if you wipe from TWRP. My steps is to do the factory wipe from Twrp then go to advance wipe and check mark everything in there besides the external sd card. Do the wipe 2 times or more just to make sure and since doesn't hurt to do so. Make sure the zip files for Lollipop are on the external sd card and not internal since you want a clean wipe.

Not too long, if it is more that 10-15 mins, check your md5s.
Btw, 30e zips where filled in the same place, you can keep root if you root 30D, install twrp, then install new zips.
