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?

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

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.

when i am trying to do that its says ( NO UPGRADE ITEMS TO FIX ) any idea guys.............
Hi guys.
I used to get a notification which was bugging me to update to 5.0.
I blocked that ongoing notification through Gravity Box (Xposed)
I don't know what has happened, but now when I go to system updates, I see "your system is up to date".
I could have downloaded the update last month but did not because of some root issues. Now when I want to upgrade, I can't.
Any idea on how to get the OTA update? (I can flash the zip, but don't want to)
Thanks!

You'll have to wait for it to come round again.
Wait for the notification? But why? It was available a few days ago... Vanished after I installed the Closed framework.
I also installed eggster for different easter eggs. Can that be a problem?

The notification goes after a while if you don't accept it. You go to the back of the queue. Sounds like you've made enough modifications for the ota not to work anyway
Okay, this might sound stupid but... Making a lot of modifications disables the OTA or something?

OTA requires no modified files to apply. You'll still get the notification (when its your turn again) but the install will fail
I believe he means, too many modifications that differs from the OTA zip.
Restore the factory image, or side-load it.
I don't k ow if this method still works, but:
Google Services Framework, Force Stop, Clear App Data, then go check System Update.
Service cannot be stopped. Rebooted quite a few times now.
Looks like I'll have to install the factory image directly.

Flash the 5.0 image manualy in fastboot or better yet wait a bit more for the 5.0.1 image to be posted by Google.
The funny thing is, I got a notification to update even after rooting, patching apps etc.
It is only after I installed Xposed that the OTA vanished.
Some people say that even the presence of SU app can fail the update. Is it true?

Look in the general thread OTA thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/ref-nexus-5-stock-ota-urls-t2475327, the OTA is still available there. First reflash the latest 4.4.4 Nexus 5 image and after that sideload flash the OTA in recovery. Backup your files first before flashing 4.4.4 again.
I will flash the 5.0.1 directly now. Thanks all.

There is no link between modifications and the notification. The notification would have disappeared even if you were stock unrooted. The fact it disappeared after installing xposed is pureb coincidence
Oh okay. Thanks!
My G3 has 5.0.1 and I have rooted it. Nothing more.
I got notification of the latest update, which had VoLTE, something about Uber (which is already in my bloatware) and something else.
I have only rooted this phone, however while I was searching around on xda to see if anyone else has gone through this update with root, I found a 1-line fix to disable authentication on WiFi tether. I did that, and then some time later I got a pop-up saying my phone is suspected of being rooted, so the update would be disabled. I then reversed the WiFi tether change, and checked for update and it _seems_ like it is ready to do the update.
But, has anyone out there gone through this update while rooted? Did that work and you only had to root again?
Or do I have to un-root?

I'm in the exact same boat as you. Can't finish the update due to being rooted before. Even if you factory reset it will still say you're suspected of rooting.
Here is my thread just in case you want to give it a glance.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/to-pick-ota-trapped-root-t3106573
Here is the link to unroot back to 10D

I haven't exactly solved this issue yet but I'm working on it >.<
Btw don't use that unroot link just yet. I need to confirm and read around before finding out if it's a viable method for our situation yet.

To be specific about "un-root".
You don't mean that you simply unrooted via SuperSU, do you? I assume you actually restored back to stock KitKat 10d, correct? And then took the OTA update straight to 21l, correct?
(And where can you tell the phone to check for updates again? or did you just wait for it to pop up in the notification area?)
Thanks

I unrooted back to stock kitkat 10d and took the OTA update to 21l.
To check for the OTA update, go to General --> About Phone --> Software Update --> Update now
I did try to update when rooted before restoring back to stock. It failed during installation with a message about suspicion of rooting.

Yup I just had to go through all this as well. Luckily it all went smoothly and my phone is back up to spec and loaded the way I use it daily. Took about 12 hours of deliberate effort though haha. I guess I never really knew how much stuff I had on the phone and how much time goes into editing settings and logging into everything. Anyways UltraSuper you're right. Had to use the link I posted above using LG Flash Tool and go back to kit kat then you can upgrade easily to 21l, LG one click root, use AutoRec to flash TWRP then do your first backup just in case something goes south but it's doubtful. My phone is stable as it was out of the box.
So what does this update offer? Is it worth the hassle of redoing everything?

Did you do a twrp restore after the update? did Xposed work in the new update?
I may do this tonight

To be honest I went through the whole process and I'll probably never use volte. I did it more just to have a clean start. I've been flashing like crazy and things were starting to get buggy. If things are running smooth for you I don't see the value in it unless you're planning on using volte.

VoLTE. That is the only notable thing about the update. A couple of pieces of bloat are in there as well. VoLTE is still new and not available everywhere yet and is only able to be used by a select few models of phones. Read up on it and decide. I personally do not see the need for the hassle atm so will wait until another day.
I bought a Nexus 5 used online. I can't remember what version is came with, maybe 4.4.4. First thing I did with it was update it which put it to Adroid 5.1.1 LMY48B. When any update came out after that I would try to update it, but it would not work. I would download the update, which would then let me install it, but once it restarts to install it, it gives me the Adroid fella with an "Error" underneath. This has happened for every update and now even for Android 6.0.1. I have cleared the cache and wiped the phone entirely multiple times. It is not rooted or have any custom backup's or whatever. It is just unlocked.
I literally have tried everything and haven't a clue how to fix it. Is there any hope you guys could try and help me?
Have you tried flashing a stock Google ROM and then running the update? Note that you need to unlock the bootloader before you can flash a stock ROM.
Facing same issues here but my N5 is rooted and I've not installed any custom recovery...

Hello. I'm rooted on Marshmallow 6.0.1, using Xposed Framework. I downloaded the CPE1 OTA update, and installed it successfully, using Flashfire so that i could maintain my root and recovery. I can't get the notification for the update to go away though.
I don't want to select "install" on the notification, without using Flashfire, because i think it will remove root and recovery, or cause some other problems. Besides, it's already successfully installed, i read the new build number in "About Phone" setting!
I've read methods, like disabling the system update app, but as far as i understand that'd prevent me from being notified of future updates, which i don't want.
Is there a file i can delete, using Total Commander, or a one-time, simple fix to remove the update notification?
Thank you kindly!

Out of curiosity, what release were you on before? I'm on the rooted PA1 release from the dev forum here and don't want to lose root (or twrp). If flashfire will do it for me, that's awesome.
Well I tried installing it but it rebooted to twrp recovery and twrp failed to install it since you need the stock recovery to install updates.
Thereforw doing OTA won't do anything it will most likely solve your problem of the notification not going away
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA-Developers mobile app
dmolavi, I'm not sure what my previous build was, i just know my current build matches the build number in the info of the OTA. Flashfire installed it no problem; just make sure to check the "maintain recovery" option. Flashfire works by temporarily reverting to stock, installing the update, then restoring your root... I'm not sure of the specifics.
svz235, i ended up doing the same as you, but then it re-downloads the update, and keeps notifying me, in a cycle of failing, downloading, and notifying :-/

Yes, I downloaded it, but ticked "later" in the install options, then opened Flashfire and it automatically recognized it, and allowed me to install it.
I am curious to use flash fire myself to install the latest update. I tried using flash fire to flash the CPE2 update but it didn't work I am still stuck in CPE1. What settings did you use to flash it successfully?
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA-Developers mobile app
svz235, CPE1 is the latest isn't it ? It's listed in the description of the OTA, and so is CPE2. I think it the version you get just depends on your phone model and carrier.
Flashfire recognized that i had an OTA, and automatically set the settings. I just made sure to select "maintain recovery" as well.

Well I have the SM-g900p from sprint flashed over to boost. I had CPE1 already installed. Then I got notification of CPE2 coming out. I did try flashfire but it keeps failing on me for some reason I go to build number and it is still on CPE1.
Alright, so it turns out I was mistaken... did I mention I'm somewhat of a noob? Anyway, CPE1 was the original mm6.0.1 build from Sprint, CPE2 is the update. They list it like this in the OTA info: CPE1>CPE2, I guess just to show it's going from cpe1 to cpe2... confused me because I thought they were just different builds for different models and carriers. :silly: So, FlashFire didn't work for the update. I ended up uninstalling Xposed Framework, and unrooting with SuperSU, then tried the OTA, but it gave me the message "Your phone has been altered in an unauthorized way" and wouldn't install the OTA. So I went to sammobil.com , downloaded the latest CPE2 build, flashed it with Odin, then rooted it again, and installed Xposed. Everything went smoothly, I'm on the newest build, rooted again, and no more notification... Yayy!! :laugh:
