Anyone get the update with Knock Code? - T-Mobile LG G2

Just wondering. I have some friends who are not rooted who said they got update.

Friends on T-Mobile? I believe only AT&T got it.

I'm rooted with TWRP and I received a notification that the update was downloaded and ready to install. I'm going to update it manually using the LG Mobile Support Tool just to make sure I don't brick my phone.

can you let me know if you 1) lose root and 2) lose recovery please?
I just got prompted for the update, but I do not want to download it yet.

In my experience, updating via LG Support Tool wipes everything. I am backing up all my data right now. Hopefully towelroot still works on this version.
EDIT: So I just finished the update via LG Support Tool. My data was left intact, but stuff was broke anyways - probably from using system cleaner app and then not having root after the update. So I am doing a factory reset anyway and will start all over. I expected it to be wiped anyway.

I ended up using the LG Mobile Support Tool to install the update. I wasn't able to install the OTA; it booted into TWRP, then when I rebooted the system, it said I was up to date, even though I was still on 10a. I lost root, but was able to re-root with towelroot. Everything was still there when I booted, although I don't have TWRP recovery. Not sure if I want to do that since I read somewhere that I will lose Knock Code. Make sure you back up your data just in case things don't go smoothly.

See if re-rooting with towelroot will fix anything that's broken before you do a complete wipe.

Hey guys how would you go about doing a fresh install with this or can we not unless we have the full kdz file?

If I use KDZ to flash the update, will I loose TWRP? Or do you think a flashable zip file will be made in the future?

I just updated my NON ROOTED d801 g2 and now my touch screen does not work at all. No errors during installation.
I ran into this problem before when I tried to update the touchscreen firmware through the menus via
3845#801#
My screen would go unresponsive, but after 10 mins and a couple of reboots, it would work back (my guess is that it reverted to the old touch firmware).
This time though, the touchscreen seems to be permanently disabled. Anyone else running into this issue?

i was so sure this was a KK upgrade. been looking around for how to retain root if you take it. thanks for the info!
Hey guys, I have a question about this update,
My friend has the S3 for whom I safe- rooted, debloated and whatnot. Now that this update came, my friend tried to update but to no avail. She is adamant about the fact that Verizon definitely has something important hidden in the update, despite me trying to tell her otherwise, and figured that she couldn't install the update because she was rooted.
Naturally, I fully unroot her entire phone, uninstall root-only apps, and try the update, but it doesn't work. When the phone reboots for installation, the installation bar loads for a bit,hangs, then just says "error" and does not update.
Anyone know what the problem could be? Normally I wouldn't care so much, but if Android 4.4 is actually coming to the S3 then I don't want her not to have it, and I can already tell it's not going to work if this update doesn't either.
Thank you so much in advance.

Some of the bloatware you removed likely had to be present on the phone in order for the update to take place. Unless you are sure someone is never going to go back to stock without flashing an ODIN tar image and wiping their phone clean, best to just freeze bloatware with Titanium Backup. That way you can just unfreeze it in order to go back to full stock. Unless you have a list of the bloatware you removed and can somehow sideload them back in, you will unfortunately have to flash her phone to full stock VRUCML1 and wipe it clean.

Ah, I see, next time I'm around her I'll re-root it and backup all her stuff with titanium backup, flash the VRUCML1 and factory reset, then restore everything and see if it works.
Strangely enough, when the same update for my Verizon Note 2 came out, I was able to update while rooted even though I unsinatalled theexact same system apps I did on her phone. How strange.
Nonetheless, thank you so much.
I have a question for you all. I took the OTA update for 4.3 when it came out but after that I rooted my gs3 Verizon phone again successfully. Now I also took this last update and now lost root on my phone. I tried to reroot the phone but it fails now. There error I get on safestrap is something about the addresses not being able to be found. Can anyone help me reroot my phone so my apps like titanium will work again?
Thanks

D800-20u Update (Knock Code update)

Here's the files from the update... not much we can do with them though...
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358545806
Edit: I was on 800-20k with a custom recovery (autorec) installed. Taking the update will put you in a "recovery" bootloop. I was able to get out of the bootloop by nulling out the fota partition.
I reflashed the 800-20c TOT file using LGFlashtool and then went and did a software update. It downloads both 20k and 20u updates and applies them both. Afterwards I rooted using autoprime's ioroot25r1 tool (adb sideload method).
Because there is a new kernel to support knock-code, do NOT flash a recovery using autorec or anything that will affect the kernel until a developer gets their hands on it and inserts the older bootloader.

Autorec will work, but you'll lose the "knock code" which I doubt you would care about if you're going with CM. Autorec will be updated sometime after LG releases the source code for the kernel. The latest they still have posted is the code for D800-20c.

thats great, thanks. and ioroot still works as well? i'll have to do some googling what the knock code is.
I'm bone stock, unrooted and just got the latest update. Only difference i see is Knock Code (which is very cool BTW), other than that it's still the same old awesome G2. Glad to see they are still paying attention to it now that they are focusing on the G3. Wonder if we'll get the new G3 UI on the (stock) G2

have you tried the manual method:
1)open cmd window inside ioroot25 folder
2)place phone in airplane mode and enable usb debugging then plug into pc
3)type adb devices in cmd to make sure device is visible
4)after you see your device type adb reboot recovery
5)when the phone reboots into stock recovery using volume keys scroll to adb sideload update option and use power button to confirm
6)in cmd window type adb sideload kk_root.zip
7)you should see dat root on phone screen

I just bought my phone from Swappa. It's currently rooted,TWRP and running D80120a.

If you're rooted with TWRP, the OTA won't install, at least it didn't for me. I clicked on the OTA and it rebooted into TWRP, but nothing installed. Rebooted the system, the OTA was gone, and I was still on 20a. You will lose root if you install the 20e, but you can re-root with TowelRoot and I believe you can get TWRP back with AutoRec (I used TowelRoot, but not AutoRec). From my understanding, if you use AutoRec, you will lose Knock Code.
So I tried to update and it went through the process. Even seen the little green android saying installing update . phone rebooted still had root access and about phone is showing the "a" version. Checked for update again and it said phone up to date. This doesn't seem right

I'm guessing you don't have a custom recovery? I had TWRP and the green android was on for a split second before TWRP started and it didn't update. I think if you're rooted, you have to update via the support tool or the pc suite. To get root back, use towelroot. Backup your data, but you should be able to keep everything on your phone if you don't wipe/reset.
Cool thanks!

[Q] Root D85010f

Hey guys,
So I just got the G3 last week, and an update rolled out from AT&T. Me being the idiot I am thought it was the Lollipop update so I updated it. Turns out, it was just 10f.
Then when I looked for ways to root the G3, all the methods required the software to be on 10d, not f.
What should I do?
Any help is much appreciated.
Use the bruteforce method in Stump root.

In addition, if you plan on rooting a device and you know there is an update, please wait to install the update until you know a root method is found.

This is what I would do. It is possible you got a bad OTA as well. Did you factory reset after the OTA? I have seen many cases on forums where a factory reset takes care of many issues after an OTA.

I don't know man, do you have the correct app installed? Mine went through smoothly in less than 5 minutes.
I just did this - now i am trying to bump the device. So my memory is relatively fresh
Reboot for fresh start - Run Stump - it will say device not supported - try brute force - let it run - takes 5 - 7 and maybe 10 min after which it says "reboot" device - then go ahead and reboot device. Run stump again - it should say device is rooted. Next download "root checker" it will say rooted. Ofcourse if this all does not go thru - you can downgrade to a previous firmware and it'll go easier - however that's more labor intensive and you'll not be able to back up the current ROM with all your apps and setup.
Well, I ended up having to flash back to 10d as mentioned by many of you. This fixed the problem!

Good to hear and I do not think you are missing much going back. At least I have found no difference. Just freeze "Software Update" to prevent nagging OTA update notifications.

I actually installed CM12...its friggin awesome.
I can report no issues here with Stumproot on 10f and I've restored back to stock multiple times.
Sounds like something was just messed up on my phone, everyone else was able to use it!
perhaps this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-stock-rooted-att-odexed-d85010f-t2945873
works nicely, no muss, no fuss
If i revert to 10D do i have to use the BUMP method after root? Or just get TWRP/CWM Recovery like good ole days? I just don't care to have the BUMP bypass that is why I am asking.
I have the ATT G3 10F.

Latest OTA update unable to install - produced "Error" screen on reboot

A few days ago, I received a notification on my N5 for a new system update of size 10.1 MB. When I choose to install the update, the phone reboots as expected, shows the "Google" startup logo, shows a screen that indicates that it is installing the update for a few seconds, and then finally ends at an "Error" screen (please see the attached image).
The phone stays on this screen for quite a while (more than a minute), then finally the device restarts and the system update notification is still present.
I've tried rebooting the phone manually and installing the update again, both when charging and when off the charger, but this has not helped. I've also searched to see if others have been having this problem, but I haven't been able to find anything. Has anyone else been experiencing this issue with the latest update, or are there any suggestions for how I can go about getting the update to install properly?
I would suggest you flash the system.img and boot.img using fastboot. The latest factory image ends in 48i, Google nexus factory image and download that image, extract it and inside is another zip file, in there you'll find the system and boot images.

Thank you for your speedy reply! I will do as you've suggested and respond with my results.
I get the same error when trying to update the OTA Update (from LMY48 to LMY48I). Is it possible to install the next update ignoring this one or will I only be able to install it after sucessfully updated this update?
Why don't you just do what jd1639 suggested?

So, I'm coming back to admit that I still haven't attempted the solution proposed by jd1639, with the reason being that I don't quite have the time to deal with flashing and clean-wiping my phone, then setting everything up again. I know it's a simple process, but right now I don't want to do anything that could jeopardize my having a working phone. I doubt there's any better option than flashing the latest update, however, so I'm waiting until I have the time and the patience to do so.
I must say that I'm still curious as to why something like this would happen. I'm inclined to assume that it is a problem with my phone in particular, since I haven't been able to find any other complaints about this problem with this particular OTA update (although cj182 seems to be having the same problem as I am). I suppose anything can go wrong with a system update, especially on a Linux-based system, but I would like to figure out why such a small and seemingly inconsequential update would fail to install on my phone when past updates of much larger sizes and complexity seemed to install without issue.

I must admit that I'm interested in the answer to this question, as well, though my intuition tells me that the answer is no because I would think that Google releases each OTA update assuming that the device is on the latest version of Android up until that point. I do not know if Google releases separate updates that would allow one to "skip" a version in between a previous version and the latest, though I may certainly be incorrect.

If your bootloader is unlocked just flashing the system and boot images does not wipe your device. If everything goes right there will be no re-setting up required, you will have to re-root if you're rooted but that's just a matter of flashing supersu in a custom recovery.

Or try recovery (stock) and find the flash update from cache (might work)

That doesn't work. The update checks for changes to the system (root, etc.) and needs stock recovery to install.
I'm also having the same exact problem!
jd1639: Are you sure that will not wipe the data?
It doesn't wipe your data... many of us have done it.

It does wipe your data. However,I strongly suggest you backup first in case something goes wrong, that's just good practice.

Now i'm confused...it wipes or not? I'm referering to just flashing the boot and system files.

Sorry about that, I meant it DOES NOT wipe the device.

Did you flash just the system.img and boot.img? Just doing that will not wipe your data. I do that with every update. If you flashed other images, userdata.img, then you device will be wiped

Only system and boot..don't know why, but it wiped all

You didn't have to unlock the bootloader did you? That's the only other reason I can think of that would have wiped your device.

Yes, i had to do it..otherwise it would not write the firmware..is there any way to do it without unlock the bootloader?
This is why the first thing you should do when you get a nexus is unlock the bootloader...
