Will rooting my a70 prevent me from any updates?
from my expireience, YES. all OTA updates won't load. But as usual, someone comes up with a patch or two..Lets hope.

should I use auto update if I'm going to root and install custom rom later?
For me only, once I rooted I purposely used titanium backup to freeze "system updates".
I still get normal app updates, but don't want any system updates, that may break root, until my phone is unlocked.
Ok thanks, if I update can I still root after? After the update if I do a factory reset will the update be lost?
An update can remove root, and patch the methods that a particular root uses to take effect, depending on what it does. That is why I am avoiding updates until the phone is unlocked.
By the way, I can't post on dev forum so I'll take advantage of this topic here.
I already know that Purple Drake's root is working till the V10I update.
I rooted my G3 and disabled OTA's. If I enable them again, run the OTA update (V10I) I'll probably lose root, right?
But, if I apply PD root, will I get root again w/o losing all my data?
thanks!
What is the advantage of the update, should I even bother with it?

Hi,
I just got my LG yesterday, and I rooted it via PurpleDrake.
Today, everyone once in a while, a pop-up comes up about LG's Software Update, asking me to update.
So, my question is this, will updating cause issues because of rooting?
Also, if so, how can I get rid of this stupid pop up asking me to update? [I did turn off OTAs, so I'm assuming this is not one?]
Thanks.
I doubt it is. For an OTA update as rooting your device will stop that happening,most likely an app update or something to do with lg agreements.

A software update can still attempt to install if you have not disabled OTA updates from your carrier somehow. Since you are rooted you should freeze the System updates process so it will not attempt to install the update and potentially remove root, or break something during the OTA install. This is not disabled automatically by just rooting, although some methods during root may also disable updates. I am not familiar enough with PurpleDrake to say if it does this or not. I do know that with IORoot you will still need to manually freeze the system update process.
hey, someone could have warned that the OTA updates don't work anymore after rooting the phone -.-... first with somehow reverted recovery (don't know how it happened) it failed, and now with TWRP it doen't do anything and sits idle in recovery mode, with no alarm clock... -.-
also I'm used to have a all-in-one-thread with links to the latest firmwares etc, I can't find this here.
so, what's the latest firmware, are there differential patches I can install with TWRP or only the >1GB full images?
I'm on version 10B or so, something with 'b'. from june.
Only solution is to flash v10b "stock" and lose root (by that you'll be able to Ota update), or the newer version (using LG flash tool). Note that you'll lose all date on your phone.
Edit:
By flash I meant using LG flash tool. (for which version you'll like to install.)

*Of course* OTA updates won't work with root...what else could you have been thinking??
You actually have been warned if you had read the root thread...

In the past, not all rooting automatically meant that OTA updates were stopped. This was an optional step you could take. Early on, when a phone is first released, updates from the provider should be expected - this is something why I might hold off on rooting ASAP. As the life cycle of the phone starts to wear on, less updates (or no more updates) so less of a concern. There was/is an app I use to use call OTA Root Keeper that allowed one to not turn off the OTA updates - as some are valuable like the coming Stagefright patches we should expect - and get the OTA updates and then also keep root. Taking an OTA update could mean you loose root even with OTA Root Keeper if part of the update is closing an exploit. That was always a risk. But for me, having updated proper software often outweighed the risk with losing root and in fact, OTA Root Keeper always worked for me so I never lost root on my phones or tablets. But as we know, phone makers and providers hate root so they work to close every exploit and I suspect that would be why shutting off OTA updates is part of the current root tool/method you refer to. Most are cool with shutting off OTA updates.
For example, in this current root method it clearly says "Now that you're rooted, MAKE SURE YOU DISABLE OTA UPDATES, if you accidentally take an OTA, you might not be able to roll back or fix it." so it looks as if in this case OTA updates are NOT shut off and you have to manually take that step if you want to.

this is not true.. this is exploit specific
the bootload is unlocked, therefore we have full access anyway, it's totally impossible to deny root to a phone with open bootloader.
therefore it should be doable to unroot, revert recovery back to stock, to ota, and do it all again. but it's annoying.
I tried to flash the OTA update (it's in /cache/xxxota/something), after renaming it to .zip and .img, but it didn't work.
any other way to simply extract the files from the OTA?
I was have root and update software via lg bridge. Now i dont have root but i dont need it till we have twrp and custom rom/s.

Back in the day I used to use Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to keep root through updates, but I think that process was broken late in KitKat - is there anything like that for Lollipop which would allow allow acceptance of an OTA update and manage to keep root?
Thanks!
Sadly nothing I have seen that actually works. If you want root on 5.1.1 you need to sacrifice Knox or run an engineering bootloader and lose fingerprint reader.
Is there anyway to get latest security updates on modified devices? Like maybe a manually installation. I know Smart Switch is often mentioned as possibility but this also means you will loose root. I'm trying to find out if security updates can be installed without changing root. If possible..
