Have you cleared the cache from settings/applications/superuser. Go there and clear cache and data there. Reboot and see if the SU app still fc's. That should correct the fc.

Hi
Go into market, search for super user, and you can untick allow automatic updates.
That should stop it until we get a proper fix.
the new update did the same for me, super user couldnt even open up without fc'ing let alone give any apps root access
Dun have the option to disable auto update .... Superuser is in my Rom ... Not installed from market.
Should I uninstall in titanium and reinstall from market ?

If you have 3.0.5 built in, then yes you'd need to use TI. OR flash an earlier version from here:
http://goo-inside.me/superuser/
You have to use the one's with 'efgh' at the end

Hi,
Mine was in the ROM and I was able to look it up in the market and untick auto update.
If you UN install it, then install from market, you will have the bad update!
I wish I was at home.
I've got a flashable SU on my desktop.
Maybe you can wait till tonight when i get home...
DaDoctor responded in the coredroid thread that the superuser app update is borking a lot of roms and the current fix is to go to the app info on the market and uninstall the UPDATES and that should revert you to the prior version. Or you can titanium restore the prior version, that would work as well.
..
same thing with superuser.
problaby.. if i will run Root Explorer.. FC on rootex & superuser.
i am currently on 3.0.5
andy idea how to fix ??
Occasionally I've had problems with superuser also. Maybe an update gone bad or messing with whatever. It's maddening but actually the fix is so simple. Just re-install from recovery the file that you used to get superuser privaledges in the first place. "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" It may fail (aborted) once, twice, hell, even took a fifth time before successful for me before but it will eventually work. It's that simple. Just re-superuser yourself with that file and all is well in the superuser world again.
I think I will stick with uninstalling updates from application .... When dc pops up again
Flashing in recovery poses a risk ... It's juz me

no need ..
just clear data and instal form market,,
Apps that are set to update automatically are stuck at "Downloading" as progress meter does not move and i have to update manually by cancelling download which negates the point in automatic app update.
What i causing this?
I have been wondering the same thing, i have applied the check to automatically install updates but it just notifies me that there are updates and i have to manual install anyway! If you get a response i can have the same question answered. My Android 2.1 use to auto install then i flashed 2.3.5 and now it doesn't!

Not anymore i use to have a problem where the download would download to 100% then it would act like it was dropping it onto my phone then for whatever reason it would say "file could not be downloaded" and i had to start all over again, then i went into ClockWork Boot Screen and do a "fix permissions" then i installed "Download All Files" and they have worked ever since! You may need to resort to a fresh install of your ROM wiping ALL forms of data!
Did you upgrade to 2.3.5 or has it always been that? Has the phone always one that?

I got this update a few days ago on my rooted Tmobile G2. Applying the update bricked my phone, as it was stuck in a recovery boot loop. Had to use this:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...ricked-lg-g2-stuck-twrp-no-download-mode.html
to get it unstuck. Also, I tried the LG Support Tool to pull the update, but it was trying to download a 1.7gig update. I cancelled it before the install process in the fear that it would bork my phone.
Has anyone gotten the update to install successfully on their phone? (rooted)
I got the update but didn't run it. I learned my lesson last time. I'd love to know what it brings and how to install it though.

I'm there but can't figure out how to type in terminal command, can you help me out with this? I'm stuck in the recovery boot loop.
*EDIT* nevermind I figured it out after a factory reset though UGH!
I also got the update notification. I deleted 213MB upgrade file in cashe. It was in the root of cashe folder not in /cashe/foa/. I still get the stupid upgrade notification. How can we kill it? I have Titanium backup but software MUC is not an option on our phones.
OK found how to turn it off. Long press the update, App Info pops up, uncheck show notifications. Clear cashe and then reboot.
You can use stomproot (brute force method) to root this OTA. towelroot won't work. Before applying OTA, make sure custom recovery is replaced with stock recovery. Otherwise you will end up in boot loop.

Can confirm this works...thanks...autorec still works as well
If I have not installed a custom recovery, but just rooted the phone with AutoRec, will it soft brick my phone? Since I don't have TWRP or CWM, I would have no way to enter adb shell. So, it sounds like if I soft brick it, I'd have to restore factory settings to get it to boot, right? Are there any significant improvements to the 20g versus the 20e? Thanks.
I got this this morning and installed it...no issues whatsoever. Not sure what its for, but I got it.
Im stock unrooted.
I ended up going with the LG support tool method and installed the update (1.7gigs)...not really sure what the changed though. Root was lost, but I used Stump Root to get it back and everything is normal again. If anyone has the list of changes, plz post

Where exactly do I "long press the update? I deleted the update file from cache but can't find this App Info popup menu. Is it within the file explorer or the settings menu?
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Free mobile app
As long as you deleted the update you can safely press the install button...it may or may not actually power off...but if it doesn't just reboot after pressing and the notification will be gone...also to prevent it from downloading in the future you can dial 3845#*80X# and click wlan test then ota setting and click disable...you can re-enable by going through the same process and pressing enable...works for most variants
Mine tried to update: it rebooted, said it was installing while showing a progress bar and then it stopped and restarted. Nothing changed.
Does anyone know what this update is? Preliminary to the lollipop update?
Any idea why my nearly stock system didn't take the update. I am rooted with towel root and several apps disabled and frozen with Titanium.
Thanks
Gilon
you press and hold on the update in the notification bar and app info will popup.

Same here, just rooted, no custom recovery and went through the update process. Completed update, still on e not upgraded to g
Plugged into LG Mobile Support Tool and updated that way, ran STUMPROOT and bruteforced. Rebooted and had root ^_^ Updated SuperSU binaries and rebooted once more and ran AutoRec. Now time to update everything again and remove the bloat they put back on.
Also to find the dialer code to update touch software, knock on isn't working. :silly:

From what I saw on androidpolice it includes in-flight wifi stuff and some patches. Probably blocking some of the older rooting methods
Took the update last night, i was rooted with stock recovery but it went through just fine. Now when i try to root via StumpRoot it says my device is rooted before i even do anything. I don't have root access though.
Anyone else experience this problem? I've already tried a factory reset but still no-go.
this "update" seems absolutely useless. however, it could be nice to get a flashable radio from it.

I have just noticed my G3 is taking the ota without asking for my approval. How can I stop it from doing it again? Thanks in advance.
Secret Menu
I went to the dialer keypad and typed in 3845#*850#, the 850 is my model number. Change it to your model # and secret menu will appear. Tap on WLAN settings and it will show OTA updates and pick disable. That's it. Worked for me.
Did that but the phone will still try to install. The reason I know is because my phone will be boot looping in twrp. At first I thought I did something crazy until this morning I saw a message saying phone will install update and will reboot in 10 seconds. Good thing is that I have the boot loop fix zip file in my sdcard.
I kept having this happen to me as well, even after disabling the option in the secret menu. I ended up installing the 855 minus 5 ROM.
I actually had that happen as well. My whole system was gone and stuck in twrp. I downloaded the copy of the 10f stock file and the zip fix file. Thought everything was good, then the update popped up again in the notifation bar, so I made a backup in twrp and tried disabling notifications. The next morning it started to auto install and it failed. Stuck in twrp again, ran my backup then disabled notifications again. Haven't seen the update again in the notifications. Hopefully it won't come back.
Using TiBu, I disabled/froze com.leg.lgfota.permission and Software Update and I have not had any issues.

So I tried Titanium Backup. Couldn't figure out how to do it. I also noticed I couldn't send or receive MMS pics. Did some searching and on Google Play, there is an app called Disable Service. Download the app, open it, click on system at the top, scroll down to Google Play Services and click on it. Scroll down to SystemUpdateService and uncheck the box. I also went down to software update and unchecked all 3 of those boxes. Restart your phone and you're done. I also re enabled the setting in the secret menu. Now my pics come through again and the update disappeared when I restarted the phone.
Can the OTA be undone?

This may be a dumb question but I had something similar happen and I'm desperately looking for a way to reverse things. My D850 was rooted, still stock but tweaked to PERFECTION, and I was under the false impression that the OTA checked for root and wouldn't proceed, so when I got the notification that the update was available I dismissed it and didn't think about it. Next morning I woke up to find the OTA happened without any action from me and of course I lost root. The phone is now really sluggish with numerous nuisances and I hate it. AT&T really f'd up my perfect G3. I chose not to factory reset or clear the cache as some have suggested to improve performance. I guess I was hoping that with everything still installed there might be some hope to regain root.
I'm reading about people going back back and flashing zip files but I don't get how it's being done. I did not have a custom recovery installed but I did have a backup with Titanium, although I obviously can't get into that now without root. The really odd thing is that Softcard still thinks it's rooted and won't run. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,

I'm afraid you wont be able to go back to rooted kitkat without having to clean install as there is no root for Lollipop yet.

I have NOT received a single nag or download for OTA. I have had these frozen for over two months without seeing any issues in the phone's operations. In fact I waited 10 days after the 10f was released before installing and had no issues.
I've been trying to find the app/service to freeze to turn off OTA update notifications. I have the g930f and it doesn't seem to have an item in the applications list for the OTA update service. I've done a lot of googling for this and haven't found anything to guide me on what to freeze so I don't see the "there's an update you should download it....there's an update will you download it now...click here to download the update" nagging.
Does anyone know the name of the app/service to freeze via Titanium Backup? Many thanks if you can identify this for me.

There isnt other app to freeze .you normally should have freezed the apps before the nag to appear.
I think the nag is now stucked there lol
I am not in stock rom now to test again but i am sure 100% that if you freeze those apps the update menu doesnt work.
Delete the data of Software-Update 1.5.16 and 3.1.12, start once the settings so the notification disappears and then freeze both system apps. Worked for me.
