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?

In the worst-case scenario you have too root again. But you're phone won't crash :good:
I tried, but I couldn't do it because of Root... I received a message from the installer that was impossible to install the update, because my phone is rooted. I think you'll need to Unroot to install de update.
In that case you should download a KDZ.file of the update and flash it with flash tool 2014. It will factory reset and delete the root on you're phone. After the update you can root again.

Better yet use [URL = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2802286 ]this method[/URL] if you're not familiar with flashing KDZ. You can accept OTA updates without losing your data. Once done, you can root again with PurpleDrake/Stumproot.
Works very well thanks for the simple tutorial

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.
Hey guys, what's the safest and easiest way to put my Sprint LG G3 phone back to a good warranty status so I can take it back to exchange for the Note 4? Since I didn't install any different ROMs or kernels or anything like that, is all I need to do is unroot? And I can do with stump root, right? They won't be able to easily see I rooted my device when I take in tomorrow?
EDIT: I just ran the Root Cleanup in SuperSu. Hope that does the trick.
EDIT 2: That didn't work. It simply froze during the uninstall :\
Why don't you just flash to stock via TOT or KDZ? It's easier that way and leaves no traces of Stump.
Hello everyone
I have just received a replacement LG G3 D855 after cracking the screen on my original. I used SuperSU to root my device to uninstall a load of bloatware system apps. I then tried to unroot my phone because a) Sky Go doesn't work on rooted devices and b) I wanted to update to Lollipop officially as I had done on my old device. I am also unable to reroot with SuperSU as it cannot install the binaries required.
Is anyone able to provide me with assistance in either properly unrooting, or rerooting and then installing Lollipop by other means and hiding root from Sky Go? I have searched other threads but I have no knowledge about recovery modes or flashing. I am on Three in the UK. Thanks

Thanks guys, I'll give it a go
Thank you very much that was incredibly simple - installed lollipop through the PC suite, keeping my apps without reinstalling bloatware, great!
Hi everyone. Happy New Year.
Today morning, I told my wife she can't unlock my phone, and so she tries unlocking the pattern many times, and then all of sudden the phone auto factory reset.
I have a unrooted verizon VS98535B LG G3 phone.
I managed to recover the sd card files through my pc, but i can't recover the one in the droid phone. Tried many software and they can't seem to detect the phone. I think it must be because there isn't a drive letter in the PC for it to read.
So, i have a couple of questions before i root.
1. What software should i use to root once to recover files and then unroot it?
2. The reason i would want it unroot is so that i could receive the OTA updates later on.
3. I would also want to sell my phone in the future.
4. What recover software works best for internal memory too?
Thanks!

I tried stump & towelroot, it did not work for me. Am going to try ioroot next. Cross finger.
It seems that ioroot cannot find matching phone model.
and when it goes into the stock recovery mode, there's a sleeping android with exclamation mark saying no command.
Tried LG One Click Root, and it got stuck at 90% with my phone showing 0%. Sigh.
