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 ?!

I have the Verizon G3 with 5.01. The 35B OTA wouldn't even install until I restored the factory image.

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.
For some reason my phone will not let me take the newest update for the Verizon G4. Does anybody know of another way besides OTA or Verizon Update Assistant that I could update my phone? Can't find the KDZ to try and flash. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You
Mine won't see it either. They may have pulled the update?
Are you rooted?

No not rooted
I would also love to hear of a way to update to Verizon's 12a without OTA. I unrooted my 11a version in order to get 12a to fix touchscreen issues. It seems the 12a OTA is not around, at least verizon doesn't want to give it to me.
Oddly enough after using kdz for 11a my software showed status as "Official". But a few hours later it switched to Modified, even though I'm not rooted. Not sure why.
I don't see it either

Same here, my phone is unrooted, and it is on Verizon Network.
I have tried OTA update, it keep saying i already have the latest update (which is 11A)
I have also tried Verizon Update Assistant Installer (working in windows 7, but not in Windows 10), same thing, when I tried to update, it keep saying I already have the latest update (which is 11A)
do any one know Verizon push OTA by the list? (e.g. some people will get first, and some people will get last) or every one should get OTA at once?
Also, is possible Verizon pull the 12A update due to notification issue?
thanks
It's highly likely that Verizon pulled this update. Nobody has reported receiving it since about 10/10. I'm sure we'll see a new one drop soon that fixes whatever was wrong with 12A.

Thanks for the info.
Hoping Verizon does not take too much time, We will get Marshmallow soon, then 12A is no longer needed.
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.
LG G3 D851, PAC-MAN ROM, Tapatalk 4.9.5
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.
Please hit the THANKS button if I helped you.
I got mine week ago and updated it didn't root but used Newest Root Method in general section and finally got it.

That being said, I made the mistake of updating. Now I'm having a very hard time trying to root my D851 20g. Can I restore to Kitkat for the purpose of rooting?
Dude this is the wrong forum for a question like this. Should be in Q&A or General. You'll get better answers there.

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.

I tried that 1 click method and it failed. I have the &D851 20g Lollipop 5.0.1. Any idea why it's failing other than error on my behalf?

I believe it's because you've downloaded 20G. Probably got patched. Did the method I mentioned work out for you?

Hi All,
I'm looking for some guidance. I have a VS986 on Vz 10B rooted. Overall, the phone works OK with good battery usage but I still suffer from the occasional missed touches, even though I've done the tweaking, and sometimes when downloading lots of files on WiFi I have to toggle the WiFi as DNS appears to stop.
My question is, should I stay on 10B and wait for the Boot unlock, or upgrade to 13B?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

I'm kind of in the same boat - rooted 10B and avoided OTA's hoping for bootloader unlock which, from past reports, won't work on anything but 10B.
I don't have any touchscreen issues and use DNSSet to avoid slow WiFi speeds at home, so I'm in no rush to upgrade. If your touchscreen and WiFi issues are frustrating you, and as there's no way to tell if/when Verizon bootloader unlock will happen, I'd say update. If you can live with those issues, I'd wait because it seems like having an unlocked bootloader means as much to you as it does for me..
I just know with my luck, I'll update from 10B and then immediately the VZ bootloader unlock will drop and it'll only work on 10B and I'll be kicking myself for updating. Let me know if you update so I can come back in a couple days to learn how to unlock the bootloader on 10B

Icculus760, you echo my feelings exactly. I have the same luck as you with timing.
I guess I'll just try to wait it out until I get too frustrated with the issues.
I was also wondering about the security fixes, if there are any, in 13B. Do you know if there are any?

Verizon's site says "The following improvement has been made: Android security patches" but doesn't give any more information, so the short answer is no.....I have no idea what actual security fixes they may have implemented

Which method you guys used to root 10b, I am on 10b but yet to root as we don't have a kdz of 10b to restore if I make anything wrong during the root process
I haven't noticed any security changes but 13b has definitely improved system stability. I had so many issues with lag and missed taps on 11a, so if you have those issues you won't regret updating to 13b!
I finally took the courage to go to 13B because holding out with 10B for custom ROM support is vaporware. So basically, I had a 10B rooted. Needed to get to 13B with root. So what I did was follow the two guides below to get me to 11A (doesn't matter if rooted or not rooted on 10B, it will make the LG G4 updated to 11A non-rooted):
http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-105457/
http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-164676/
Then onto 13B:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/help/how-to-upgrade-to-13b-via-kdz-t3274036
Then get rooted 13B image by either:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/vs98613b-saved-image-rooted-t3258794 (for stock and rooted 13B)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/vs986-rooteddebloated-t3256814 (for debloated and rooted 13B)
Flashing the rooted 13B by:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765/
with the following command here (but note to modify the image's file name for flashing): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62028523&postcount=2
OK,seems I continue to post in the incorrect section so I"l try this again..recently my vs985 lg4 thru ota update was upgraded from 5.1 to 6.0- my questions are ,,, does kingroot work on the 6.0, I know it works on 5.1 as I previously had it rooted.and 2nd question is I'm having terrible battery life even with greenify working and the built in doze,is that a common problem..I didn't want to even try kingroot without asking first...thanks and hopefully I'm in the proper thread,section....
Nope, i've tried but no root for Android M for the LG G4. You'll have to go back to Lolipop
OK,not what I was hoping for,next question,do I just do a factory reset or does that not rest back to 5.1, as I originally had 5.1 but ota updates brought it to Mm..I truly do not like MM as battery life has been cut in half...

You have a VS986, not VS985.
A factory reset will put you back to Marshmallow.
You will need to use LGUP PC tool to flash your phone back to Lollipop using the 13B KDZ file.
Thanks,thts something way out of my league,got to look that up and read into how to do that without messing up,if I had known MM was soo bad with battery life I would never had done the upgrade,very glad I've found xda forum..next question does it matter if I have an lg3 or lg4? or is MM that difficult to root,i know its new upgrade but I can tell you personally that without root MM is terrible with battery life,my vs985 was great rooted on 5.1...and I thank this group VERY much for the advice I am getting...

Do a factory reset... Will help with battery life.
After any large update you should factory reset. Cleans up old files "basically corrupt files" not needed for the new OS.
Thank you...
Yeah, i should go back to Lolipop soon cause the default Launcher is not good for me. I want Z-Launcher https://www.zlauncher.com/ I also want all the bloatware gone

About the battery life it could be that the verizon apps are draining the battery, when i bought my phone i totally freak out becasuse it didnt last not even 8 hours, try to good to app manager settings and disable all verizon apps as well the NFL app that why solf your issue. At leats for me was the answer.
Yes your definitely correct,since my it a from 5.1 to 6.0 I've been eliminating unnecessary apps trying to solve my issue,several apps I need root and now that I am 6.0 that's been impossible,but ice eliminated a lot..

You dont need Root. you permanetly disable them just go to:
1) Setting
2) App Manager and localize the aplications of verizon and
3) Select one, later clic on disable (or Deactivate)
