Hi all. I have LG G Pad 10.1 and I want to do root to delete some system apps. If I root my tablet (with towelroot), in the future I cannot update my equipament true the official way (true "update center" app)? Is there any problem with that?
And is possible unroot with towelroot?
Thank you!

dunno...
If you want past experiences, I have been able to update my LG G Pad 8.3 LTE (Verizon) with root(and maintain root after)
BUT if you are deleting system apps, probably won't work... (The OTA might be sending and applying binary diffs to save space, instead of sending the entire ROM. OTA would fail if it's trying to patch a missing system app)
Root.
Freeze apps with Titanium Backup.
OTA comes through.
Defrost Apps.
Unroot. (Or try Voodoo root keeper)
Take OTA
(Voodoo Root Keeper copies binaries, unroots then after the OTA.
pushes Superuser Binaries back to the system, thus, enabling root again.)
(You will need to download Chainfires SU app from GP though)
Once you root your device it would show in the download mode that it's rooted which might prevent you from updating OTA. Not sure how it would work even if you unrooted. That's yet to be determined.
Hi,
I got my G3 and noticed that there are some pre installed apps I can't remove (especially McAfee!). Therefore, I want to root my device in order to be able to unistall these apps. I am new at rooting, so my questions are
-How can I get updates on a rooted device? Is OTA possible or do I need to install updates via a pc tool?
-If OTA is not possible, where can I find the updates and how can I install them?
-Does LG update app inform me about updates on a rooted device or do I have to check manually on web?
-Are there any reasons why I shouldn't root my G3?
Thank you guys for your help!!!

1. i have read ota with rooted device is possible (only without twrp!) but with lg flash tool its safer.
2. for example here... you can install them with lg flash tool.
3. if you do not turn off the ota update information you will be informed about updates but i recommend you to turn it off.
4. i think no.
I don't have experience with LG, but with other phones I've had OTA's will work on rooted device ONLY if you have stock recovery and ALL pre-installed apps, including bloatware. So if you delete McAfee, OTA's probably won't run. If you use TiBackup to freeze it, instead of deleting it, there's a good chance the OTA will run.
But I think it's probably safer to not take OTAs, if for no other reason than the next OTA could break root, and then you'd be stuck with McAfee.
Question, though: can you disable McAfee in the Application manager? If so, you would't have to root if that's your only reason.
disable root for update?
thank you!
do you recommend to remove root before using lg flashing tool, or can I use it when root is activated?
If necessary, what do you recommend to remove root? Is SuperSu the best option?
@dusu84 I was not able to disable mcafee in app manager. I used Titanium Backup to freeze it.

you dont have to remove root before using lg flash tool... you will lost root anyway when you use lg flash tool.
you can choose between two flash variants... "cse" or "normal".
cse will wipe everything on your phone... normal keep your apps and data exist but you will lost root.
I don't know if Android 5 is released for F400K but when it will be released can I just unroot my phone with supersu, and update my device?
By the way I don't mind loosing TWRP recovery I just want to keep my data & apps.
i have rooted my lg g3 with stump root, i would like to remove the root to update my lg to the lollipop software i have used supersu to full unroot and remove all root apps, i use root checker and it states i'm unrooted but when i go and install new software a message appears advising me unable to update a rooted device, can anyone help me i am unable to access a computer to unroot, i'm using my android !
I would like some help on this matter as well
I had my lg g3 rooted for quite some time, and just recently removed the root. I deleted the voice mate file from my phone, and now need it back to update my phone. If it isnt possible to recover it, how should I update it?
