I'm trying to install the 10e update for the SEA version of H815 (over 10d which I rooted using this method). I defrosted any apps I froze in TB, did a full unroot in super SU, restored my pre-rooted image and did the OTA. The OTA failed to install giving an error code of 1123004. Then when it rebooted into android it said updates were not available due to suspected rooting.
I never had Xposed installed, and the only other thing I can think of is that I modified build.prop to enable write access to the external SD card. I'm re-installing the rooted image so I can revert that ...... but can anybody think of any other reason why this update might be failing to install on my phone? (incase this build.prop modification isn't it that is)
EDIT : oops, sorry. not build.prop .... platform.xml
EDIT x 2 : well, that wasnt it .... the change had been overwritten already. I assume it was by the flashing of my pre-rooted image - makes sense. Back to the drawing board - (or digging up kdz files)
If you type 277634#*# in the dailer, you'll get into a hidden menu. Poke around and there will be something that states whether root has been detected. Can't tell you how to get there, I'm on Marshmallow now and that doesn't have that hidden menu, at least not with 277634#*#.
If root was detected, you can still update but you'll have to use LG bridge on a Windows PC. And reroot.
I'm having almost the same problem on VS986, I can still try to update after reboot. Rooting is setting a flag on the device somewhere.
I don't know why they're blocking the update after unrooting besides just being spiteful.

So everytime I check for update it says "Your phone is not registered yet." I unrooted and reflashed (Normal flash) v10g but I still get the same thing...
Should I download the whole v10i .KDZ or is there some kind of solution to this?
I read somewhere that this problem occurs when you flash with your SIM card in, but I flashed without SIM this time...
(I prefer download the whole .kdz than making a hard reset etc... lol)
What model do you have? D855, D850,D851,F400S/K/L,F460S/K/L? Flashing an updated kdz should be fine but I would double check

if you have a d855 download the kdz and flash it, it will not harm your device if done correctly

I eventually flashed the v10i, I was searching for a more hassle free solution (ie, try to get the OTA to work again) but I had time to download that huge file and flash it LOL. However the OTA still doesn't work! :\

IF you are rooted it won't work because the roottriger is set of, if you doon't get the update try searching manually (in the update app) if that doesn't work use the imei kdz methode(use the search button) , if all those fail you probably didn't got the update

I did try unrooting and flashing the stock rom again! (as I mentioned in OP) but even after this I still couldn't get an OTA update (and if I tap check update it says "Phone is not registered Yet" I did the IMEI stuff to update since it was the only way lol...
But I don't understand why is my OTA update button broken :/ (even after a reflash and unrooting, but not by a factory reset.)
My brother has the exact same G3, rooted and has Xposed framework, busybox etc but he got the OTA update and updated successfully!

try doing it with a reset because some traces of the root might stay behind in your phone
Hi,
I purchased the phone in the UK from the network carrier Vodafone. I have done a fair bit of research on the rooting and unrooting process mainly via videos and reading tutorials on XDA.
I would like to root the phone and gain super user access and install some Xposed modules but would also like to be able to unroot and flash back to a stock Vodafone firmware encase I need to claim under warranty. I have been trolling the internet to get the correct KDZ file and found this site (ttp://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/country.php?country=United+Kingdom). I believe that the correct firmware may be on here but am a little confused on what the suffix and software version means to be honest.
The reason for my confusion is that I updated the firmware to 6.0 Marshmallow through the LG bridge but when I now check my phones software version it states v20b-234-15. I assume this is right but from memory the first software version when I got the phone was something like H81510B_00.
I cant remember exactly what it was before unfortunately but the KDZ files I have found state H81510C_00 (Suffix - AVDFVK) and H81510C_00 (AVDFLR) and this does seem to make sense but I'm thinking it was B instead of C but and not 100% on that.
Do you think these KDZ files would be the correct one to flash back to encase I run in to some problems rooting?
I am also assuming that this KDZ is Android Lollipop and not Marshmallow so is it OK to use this to revert back from Marshmallow?
Thanks and any help would be much appreciated.
Ross
The 10X version are all Lollipop, 20X is marshmallow.
When flashing a KDZ on your phone, what's important is what model your phone is. H815 in your case.
If you want to restore to stock in case something goes wrong, you can find everything here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
In there is a link to this directory: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/ where you find pretty much all KDZ files for G4 phones.
I'm not that experienced myself, but I rooted my phone just recently and I can share my experience with you.
I have a H815. It was a V10c-TWN-XX version (Taiwan). I updated to Marshmallow with LG Bridge also and the new software version was V20b-TWN-XX.
Marshmallow rooting is not possible on my phone because I can't unlock the bootloader on it. And Marshmallow rooting is only possible with an unlocked bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader is only possible on European phones (http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS). I asked autoprime (renown user and developer here) if I can unlock bootloader after flashing an European KDZ on it. He said no, having European software on it is not enough, it has to be a phone manufactured for the european market. Dont know why, guess because of different hardware.
So, not being able to root MM, I had to revert back to stock (downgrade) using one of the KDZs.
I chose the most recent one in the directory I linked (which is the Poland H81510E). In the "Go Back to Stock" thread I linked the OP says to use LG Flash Tool 2014, which unfortunately doesn't work with Marshmallow. But fret not, it works with LG UP! http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
When I tried flashing the KDZ with Flash Tool 2014, the process failed with an error at 5%. It worked flawlessly with LG UP. Here's more information regarding downgrading, but it really isnt hard. Just download + install LG UP. Launch it. Connect your phone. Choose KDZ file. Select option "upgrade". Hit start.
NOTE: after the firmware update was done, the phone rebooted automatically and for me it stuck at at the LG Logo (bootloop). But a simple hard factory reset did it, the phone booted and my new version was 10e-something. With Lollipop 5.1 of course.
After that, I rooted my phone using this pre-rooted image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/h815-eu-l-p-t-sea-twn-t3176195
and this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765/
I now have a "H81510e-EUR-XX" Lollipop 5.1 with root (SuperSU 2.49).
I don't really know about Vodafone and if carrier specific firmware is necessary in this case. If not, you could use any 815 firmware.
From the site you have linked with the KDZ files..... it seems they are all the same.
If you check the table for H815 KDZs from Vodafone, there are some 10C and 10D versions. Now I compared the fileKey parameter in the URL to the 10C files and the 10D files and also the bytes of the files.
All the 10C version are identical to each other, same for 10D.
Check out this screenshot I made for you: http://i.imgur.com/Ie0w4us.png
Bytes are also identical, so it's pretty safe to say those are the same files.
Dont know why they are listed several times there. The suffix doesnt matter.
I'd grab a 10D if I were you. But I think the Poland 10E should work, too. Better confirm it with somebody else though.
If you flash your system to 10e, you can use the pre-rooted image I used. Otherwise you will have to inject root yourself: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586. In this method you create an image of your system and inject root into the image, which you then flash back on your phone.
So i had to unroot my phone to unlock my network with the code. no problem done that. i updated to the newest version of the lg software just to test it out figured i could just lg flash tool it after back to stock. unfortunately after i've updated i can no longer use lg flash tool because my phone is no longer registered in device manager as LGE MOBILE but now its LGE Androidnet. the phone still boots and everything works unrooted, but i would like to reroot it and flash another rom. If this was the d855 i could root from here but since I'm on the canadian d852 i have to flash back to stock in order to root correct?
Is the only way to reflash to open the phone short the pins and redo the bootloader manually with willcracker Boarddiag tool? or is there some hidden dll out there that will allow me to flash from my current state.
If anyone has a root method for the Canadian Bell d852 that would work as well since i could just reflash twrp and then install the rom via zip. then just ignore the problem altogether until next time i have to use the lgflashtool. (which should be never since i unlocked everything now)
*Edit* I Should probably add that I'm on marshmallow 6.0 and the LG PC Suite can only see the phone through wireless. it will not see it through the usb so i can't use that to fix it either.
Thanks in advance

For anyone else i did fix this. without shorting the pin. Flashed the stock rom using the LGUP tool. for some reason when i used flashify to install TWRP it thought i was a frenchy so it auto installed the d852g version. but i just flashed the normal version after i got into the recovery. (still works fine just won't let you install any roms until you flash the correct recovery because of version checking)
I have been trying to root my LG G3 D852 on 6.0 mm, i have found that there is nothing out for that yet. I know know that have to downgrade and I have tried but since I'm on virgin mobile so the downgrade file I tried to use bricked my phone so i had to send it back to LG to get it fixed. Is there any other way to downgrade or root without bricking my phone again?
Thanks
Same problem...

Hmmm. I had the same problem as you did with my G3. Same model and everything. Tried to downgrade it using my computer. Can't remember what tool, but it said it completed successfully. When it went to reboot, it would stay on the LG logo for 15-30 seconds, before going to the broken android screen. After a few minutes, it would reboot. Could enter into the recovery menu from the broken android screen, but when I tried to bump the files or flash a rom, there was nowhere on the phone to store it. I think it removed the partitions during the flash, hence why it couldn't store the files. It's not that I didn't have permission, but it showed in the console that there was no directory to mount. Couldn't even charge the phone in the state it was in. Guess it relied on the OS to control the charging. I'll probably try to simulate the phone, with the stock OS, and see if I can find any exploits that could allow for a "safer" rooting method. Tell me if you find anything yourself!
First of all this phone belongs to my dad. This means I haven't used it and I'm not familiar with many things about it.
The phone is running a stock ROM. It is not rooted, but it does have TWRP.
A software update prompt popped up trying to install "v20p-apr-03-2018" (why is an update for the G4 called v20 lol).
Telling it NOT to download it and NOT check for updates ever doesn't work. The update prompt comes back in 2 days tops. So **** you LG.
Since it's not rooted the easiest option seems to be to flash the update, however it just launches TWRP and does nothing. I found no way to actually download the update and keep it on the device so that I can manually tell TWRP to flash it.
So: Is there a way to download said update and flash it through TWRP? Or should I root it and delete the stupid update tool? I really don't want to flash a stock recovery.

Freeze or uninstall Software Update (LG proprietary, i.e., closed source, app) - may require root. That should stop the annoying requests. If you are able to upgrade you will lose TWRP and will have to re-flash TWRP again. You may want to consider that you do not have the latest Google security patches by not doing the update, putting your Dad's phone more at risk.

It's not like LG updates security patches that often so it's not that big of a deal if I can't update it.
It's also fine if I lose TWRP during the process, I just want to avoid flashing stock recovery just for the sake of updating it.
And I still can't download the update and keep it. I don't know where it puts the update after downloading it. I couldn't find it in TWRP.

It helps if you include your phone model when looking for specific firmware updates.
If you're Dad's phone is an H815, there are some v20p downloads available here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h815-firmwares/firmwares/
In order to flash in TWRP without losing TWRP, you would have to remove the stock recovery and create a flashable zip ...
Easiest is to simply freeze or remove the lg Software Update app as I indicated - the annoying update notification should then disappear ...

This update does not contain any security fixes it's just for the new European data protection law..
First thing you should try is:
Upgrade TWRP.
Do a full TWRP backup!
Test android update again.
Second thing:
Have you tried the LG bridge windows software to update?
If so and it fails there too you can find the update when you try to Flash it within the LG folder of your Windows PC afterwards use this KDZ file and lgup to flash it.
There is a chance that when using the internal updater that you can find the update file when in TWRP in /cache in a folder fota but it will likely be in a LG specific format so may don't help you much.
Third thing :
Disable the LG updater within TWRP (search for a howto)
