[Q] OTA update 3.26.605.1

I recently started getting system update notices for 3.26.605.1 on my D-Inc.
I'm running the "standard" clockworkmod recovery that flashed when I rooted the phone. As I understand it, I can not install the update because I'm rooted so is there a way that I can stop the notices (without unrooting and going stock)?
I've also read chatter on other forums about a fix or "root version" on the way from unrevoked, but I haven't been able to find anything official.
Can anyone confirm an update from unrevoked?
Thanks.

Hey Dude,
I figured I would get to you before the wolves do lol you'll probably get a better response to your questions in the "General" section. To answer you directly there is already rooted versions of this OTA such as (shameless plug) both my Roms Redemptive rEVOlution (Evo hybrid) and Redemption Rom.

OK. Thanks.

I've been hitting Cancel on that update message for the last 2 weeks. Today I read about it a bit, and finally just gave in and ran the update. I don't know if it actually updated, but the message is gone, it says my system is up to date, and I still have S-OFF/root. FWIW.

I saw that, thanks. I wanted the update, I just couldn't find any solid answers on whether it disabled root or not. It sounded like it disabled root but left S-OFF alone, so I did ran the update, thinking I could root it again later. But now I still have root, so I don't know if the update was actually applied or not.
I'm not worried either way, it was just an experience relevant to the OP's question.

Go into Settings/About Phone and see what firmware version you have, if it's 26 your updated, if it's still 21, it didn't update.
If you don't know if it's updated, it's prolly not. You would've known as it would've rebooted and then had run the update. If you don't recall any of that, your not updated.
Like was posted previously, you'd be better off finding which ROM has the update and then just flash that, be sure to do a backup 1st and foremost in case you screw up, you can always flash back to what you had and start over.
The only way that update will take is if you have stock with just root and no changes, I did this initially though and you will loose root, which is why I recommend you backup before trying, this way you don't have to root over again.

Edit build.prop. Here is the configuration you'll need to change to stop the OTA updates. This will also help save your battery if it frequently tries to download on 3G.

If you want to stay put on the version you have now, not accept the update, not be bothered by it again, then following bsdbytes's info for editing the build.prop is what you need to do.
If you want to accept and the NOV OTA update and still have clockworkmod recovery and root after... see -> http://solo.dc3.com/dinc/ (If you have an SLCD incredible, be carefull of which CWM Recovery version you use).

The current Unrevoked3 (ver 3.21) does not work to root the Nov OTA, nor install a custom recovery. There were tweets about an update coming, but delays due to thanksgiving, finals, etc. I haven't seen an ETA posted yet.

thanks for the info. you're right, it didn't update, i'm still at 21. when i clicked update a window came up saying it was going to reboot, but it never did. must be due to change i had on the device.

Troubleshooting Guide & FAQ: Updating stock ROM

Hi guys,
I saw many threads popping up in the Q & A section about applying updates on a stock rooted ROM. So i though it would be helpul if i shared my experiences and also clear some misconceptions.
This Thread mainly applies for those looking to upgrade from 2.09 to the recent 2.22/2.24 ! It may or may not work for any previous updates.
Q) My phone is rooted, Bootloader unlocked and CWM installed. How do i update to 2.22?
Ans.)
1) Backup your root using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper.
2) Flash the stock recovery for your area using the All in one kit (or you can use the command line if you're familiar).
3) Download the update, click install, sit back and enjoy !
ITS that simple.
Q) What do i do if i cant find stock recovery for my latest version?
Ans) The recovery does not seem to have changed from version 1.56 to 2.09. You can flash the older recovery provided, you've checked your region is correct.
Q) Do i need to re-lock my bootloader for the update to take place?
Ans) NO! You don't need to re-lock anything. It updates perfectly fine with unlocked bootloader. Just flash Stock recovery !
Q) Do i lose my apps/settings/cache?
Ans) Since its an OTA from HTC, you retain everyhting!
Q) Will i lose my root if i update?
Ans) You will! Thats exactly why you're advised to backup your root.
Q) My updates fails with a red triangle and exclamation mark, what did i do wrong?
Ans) You need to understand that during the update, several stock apps are patched. If any of these STOCK APPS ( the ones that came with ya new phone) are uninstalled/frozen/meddled with, an error will pop up.
Q) How do i identify the cause of the error?
Ans) When the red triangle pops up, press the Volume UP, Volume DOWN and LOCK keys at the same time for a second and release. You should see the cause of your error. Try to restore/unfreeze the app thats causing the error. If that is not possible, try posting your error here to see if experts here can help.
All the stock recoveries can be found on this forum. If however u've a doubt, i'd be happy to help.
This guide is not perfect and may contain errors ( i've tried to make it complete to the best of my knowledge). I'm open to suggestions and questions

Hi, thanks for the super explanations - last two really helped me - at least I found the reason why my phone does not want to Updates.
I send thanks to your instructions displayed mistake - I phone from T-Mobile Czech and the application of course I deleted it - it is useless.
Do you know if this can be downloaded somewhere, possibly where I got all this ROM mentioned in the error? I deleted more applications, so it probably will want to install these
I watched a lot of the internet, but I found none.
Sorry for my English ...

Well, if you made a backup if the current Rom/apps, then just extract and install the apps. Or else, I think you can extract the app from ruu if your version. You'll have to do it for each of the apps you uninstalled. That's gonna be a hell of a job, if u ask me.
I think its better you stick to the current software, or of you really wanna update, reset your phone via ruu. And then update.

[Q] What constitutes an OTA update?

I am a little confused about what constitues an OTA update and wished to clarify this throughly since all rooting methods have a precautionary message regarding this.
From what I know:
1. OTA updates are "only" firmware updates.
What I am confused about:
Considering my above assumption of it being only a firmware update to be right
1. Does OTA update refer to only certain methods of firmware installation?
2.Are there methods to permanently disable it such that only intentional manual procedure will cause it to happen ( E.g: System settings)
Thanks in advance :good:

OTA updates will never install automatically, so take that off your worry list
1.) OTA updates are downloaded to the phone after you allow the download to proceed. Even if you accidentally click download, it will confirm with you again before rebooting the phone and installing it.
2.) If it does give you the notification, you can just long click the notification and Force Close the process. Then it won't bother you again until the next update comes out, or you choose to unroot and flash preroot, then update.

Nexus 7 will not Update OTA with root

The notification an update
Hello! I have a problem about update information, i have root and every time i have this information. I installed new room but it did not change anything. I have a question, maybe there is a file that can be removed. Maybe someone had the same problem and knows how to do to update notification disappeared.

In my experience the newer Lollipop updates will fail if you are rooted. Just update manually using toolkit or some other method.

yes I know but need information on how to disable the update information which there is all the time

Flash stock software update through TWRP?

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 ...
Note: XDA courtesy is to hit the Thanks button (bottom right of post), when members are trying to help and solve your issues. As a Senior Member you know this.

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)
