I'm not really sure what I need to do here, but here is the issue.. Months ago I rooted my phone and I THINK I installed a basic rom, but I'm not positive. I definitely have Xposed and a handful of modules installed.
Last week the Verizon OTA update was pushed, and now every time I unlock my phone I get notified and asked to upgrade. I think the best thing would be to disable the prompt. Can I do that? I'm happy with the phone as is and don't care to take the upgrade.

So finally the blaze has been confirmed along with others to get ICS which I knew would and am glad I haven't messed around with root or anything else so the update works and makes this phone even better!
Rooting shouldn't affect the process of updating or the update itself.
Anyway, I'm glad to see that this is happening.

I was under the impression if you changed the kernel you wouldn't receive OTA updates. The process is reversible, but just saying.
That being said, I'll continue my streak, and bet you $10 we don't see ICS from Samsung within the next 3 months.
Oh yeah, I forgot..... this may not be the case anymore, but I remember back in the 2.1-2.2 days that people were always looking for someone that had a phone on 2.1 that received the OTA update to 2.2 to not install it until they had a log thingamajiggie running, as it helped people do their magic with the official rom.
I'm no wizard but if this is desirable to anyone who wants to work on roms for this phone whenever they decide to push ICS to us, lemme know, and lemme know how to do it.
I had to unroot and restore everything to get the ota 2.2 update to work back when I had my Motorola...
So I had my Verizon HTC One M8 rooted and that was enough for my needs. I didn't mess with it further.
Well then Verizon started pestering me with update notices for... what was it? 4.4.3? Anyways, I got sick of them and hit "OK" next thing I know my phones in a 1 to 2hr upgrade cycle with no warning. I was on call for my job! Then, when it came back all my root apps were disabled... you know the story.
So the only option to re-root it was sunshine.
Now I'm getting pestered with the same notices again to go to 4.4.4
They are really bad. I can't even unlock the phone. They are in your face and obnoxious. I can't get rid of them. I don't want to let Verizon make my phone even worse. Any advice that doesn't leave me shelling out $25? Can I call Verizon and pitch a fit? I DO NOT WANT THIS.
You can install a custom ROM and those popups are blocked automatically. I recommend the new Clean Rom

I cannot install a rom. I lost Root with the last update and do not have S-off. I didn't even know what S-off was until that update. It's extremely irritating to have to keep up on this nonsense just to own a smartphone.
Sunshine should have given you S-OFF. Also, you should be able to run Sunshine in the same phone again without paying again.

If you used Sunshine on 4.4.3 you are S-off and bootloader unlocked. If you currently have root you flashed a custom recovery and then SU, right?
So you have everything in place to just flash a rom and be done with it.
Scrosler's CleanROM is just like stock, but de-bloated of most of the VZW and some of the HTC bloatware.
If you want pure stock flash his stock rooted 4.4.3 rom. Nothing changed to the original firmware except it's rooted and the SD write protection removed.
No, I did not use sunshine.
It was the only option, I did not do it. I'm poor.
I was hoping there was some option to gain root without it. If not, I'm just screwed.
I am s-off and on Viper ROM and I am being pestered with the update as well. It even downloaded it for me without me knowing. Then it forced me to select a time to install it so I had to pick 12am so I have to figure out how to dodge this nonsense, i am waiting for the newe Viper to update to 4.4.4

Just flash this until the next update where that nag will be removed.
No more nags...
if you're still on 4.4. 3 use weak sauce to temporarilyroot then use a root explorer and delete your OTA updater files or rename them. and I'm not positive of this but from what I thought I understood it depends on your hardware version whether or not firewater will work and that is the free s off version.this is my first HTC device alsobut I am a root user so that is what I look for in the only way to have permanent forever root on an htc is to S OFF when you first get the devicethen it doesn't really matter what happens after that you can always flash su to get root on any new update after you flashing your recovery..
and just FYI no none of this is necessary just to own a smartphone only if you're trying to be smarter than your smartphone then in that case I guess you have to work for it ie free hotspot or IE ad blocker ect. and everybody here already understand those types of benefits involve maintenance and your own research and time especially with the latest devices. sorry is it just me butI had already read most of the m8 forum by the time my MA got here I researched very thirdly on which phone I even wanted to get which ushered me capability and S OFF or permanent root before I even purchased the phone and already knew the wrist before I even took it to the computer for root for the first time. good luck ..bTW if you do get temporary root and want to move or rename or delete the update file that you downloaded so it will not actually go through it is in. /cache/fuma . just search how to disable your OTA updater per the firmware you are on with and do while you are running your temp root.

It sounds like smartphones may not be for you, get a old dinosaur phone and you won't have to "deal" with updates.
What do you think pitching a fit to a CS rep will do? They don't have some magic button to stop your phone from receiving updates.
Either take the time and learn more about flashing and rooting and do it yourself or pay the people that have taken the time to figure out how and ask thoughtful questions to other people and get help along the way.
Advice: Sell your phone on Swappa and get something that's already flashed with cyanogen, or accept the update and suffer through the horrible indignity of allowing your phone to be updated to 4.4.4 and getting the stock flashlight that should have been there already.
Need to upgrade and am just about ready to pull the trigger on the M8. I understand the root/s-off issues with 4.4.4, and know 4.4.4 is the latest OTA, but if anyone out there has purchased/received their M8 in the last few weeks, can you let us know what OS version came on the phone (prior to the OTA taking hold which I know it will try and do almost right away after turning it on)?
Would love to know they are still coming with earlier versions and then plan to get s-off prior to taking any OTA so I'll be good to root and have fun with this thing.
Thanks!

I cant tell you about the retailers or carriers, but I received a new insurance replacement through asuron last friday and it came with 4.4.2 because I tried firewater at least a dozen times and it would not work. I even tried all the tips listed on xda and nothing worked so I had no choice but to use sunshine. I have seen a lot of posts on xda where people couldn't get firewater to work so I have no clue on that.
Just picked up a M8 yesterday. It came with 4.4.2. After a bit, it prompted upgrade to 4.4.3 which I took. Then it prompted for 4.4.4, which I denied. Confirmed WeakSauce 1.01 failed as has JCase stated. SunShine worked though and now I'm up and running with CM11 again
Got mine delivered from BB today. I'm guessing it had 4.4.2 since it immediately started downloading 4.4.3. I installed it after finding out FoxFi works with that update. Right after the update it asked to download 4.4.4. Without really thinking about it I started the download. I will have to keep declining the install until I make sure FoxFi works with the update. Any idea where to find that out? No contact link on the FoxFi website.
still 4.4.2
I ended up getting mine today and it also had 4.4.2. I was able to unlock and get root and twrp installed prior to any OTA's being installed. 1 OTA was downloaded, but didn't install it.
Anyone know where I can find that OTA download file so I can delete it? It is a large file so would be nice to remove it.....
I'm asking for my girlfriend. I have the T-Mobile variant with a custom recovery and I know not to take an OTA because custom recoveries and OTAs don't mix. She, however, has an AT&T variant and she just told me she was prompted to update to Lollipop. She rooted long ago with whatever root for AT&T app was popular at the time.
Doesn't taking an OTA just make you lose root? Nothing else to worry about?
I would not recommend due to the chance it could boot loop. I would wait for a OTA zip and flash through TWRP.
If she is rooted it will break root, If she has a custom recovery (twrp) than it will cause a boot loop.
advice: if she wants lollipop she's gonna have to follow these steps.

Going to pass the link on to her now.
There is no custom recovery. She used Stump Root originally to get her phone route, if that makes any difference.

Is there an ota zip available for the D850. I froze software updates in titanium backup so I won't loose root.

Yep.. I went through the whole process of going completely back to stock and then rooted before updating to Lollipop hoping it would stay. It didn't and Stump Root says it's already rooted.
Thanks for this cool tool and method. The LGFlashtool gets up the 'Change to download mode' step adn then fails, with a '[16:10:26] can't change to download mode 00000064' error in the box. Any help would be appreciated. In the meantime I'll try another usb port. Also, when I first ran the Flashtool I had to select from three choices: the default checked off one had the word Korea in it, the second had Brazil and the third had the word Global. I left in on Korea--you think I should have gone with global?
Thanks again, Xamadiex.

I read somewhere the LG Flashtool had to be modified at installation to avoid what you are going through.
You're right, it's just a matter of overwriting the megalock.dll file after you install the tool. It was a step I didn't miss. But good news for me, I used another pc and when I installed the flashtool it again gave me the three choices (not sure, but the title bar of the window was something like 'DMB').
This time I chose the 'global' selection and ran the tool as before and it completed for me. I'm currently DL'ing the lollipop update right now. Thanks for the quick reply, netomel.

I just received my G3 for AT&T yesterday. It had 4.4.2 firmware on it. I rooted and installed titanium backup and froze all of the AT&T bloatware. Got notification last night that I had a system update available so I went ahead and let it update thinking it would be 4.4.4 but I was wrong. End result, I wound up with a perfectly functional Lollipop with all bloatware removed, but did lose root in the process. I can live with that until someone figures root for lollipop out I think.

So it installed on your rooted G3? It wouldn't on mine - kept saying rooted device detected or something like that and then refuse to update. That's just fine because i have to have root so I was planning to wait anyway...

Yes, it installed with no problems at all. And I must say that I am loving it. So glad that I froze all of those at&t apps before I lost root. I am looking forward to root for lollipop so that I can freeze a few more. I must say that this is the best stock android rom that I have ever had the pleasure of using. I will probably stick with it for quite some time because of the speed and excellent battery life.

I call bull****. Lolipop OTA will NOT install on a rooted device. Humor me, what root method did you use?

Call Bull**** all you want, I don't lie. To be honest, I can't even remember what method I used to root when on KitKat. Then I used TiBu to freeze a bunch of apps that I didn't want or need. Shortly thereafter the update hit me so I went ahead and let it do its thing. As stated, I did lose root afterwards but the apps I had frozen with TiBu remained frozen and everything still worked as it should. I waited patiently for a few weeks until the one click root script became available and used it to root lollipop, then installed TWRP and flashed Cloudy G3 stock ROM which is where I am happily at at this moment.
It could possibly have successfully updated due to the fact that I had not installed a custom recovery, that's the only thing I can think of that would have allowed it to happen on mine, yet not on others that were rooted.
EDIT: After reading back through this thread it jogged my memory. I used the Stump Root method to root while on KitKat.
You'd be the first person reported to be able to do this.
It would be a boon to the AT&T G3 community if you could remember the precise details of how you pulled this off as it would save loads of time and hassle for everyone else who has to restore to KK (which means a full wipe), then take the OTA to L, then root there.
Thanks in advance.
*edit
I think you're L is version 20f, not the latest 21l, based on the date of your posts above.
Further, I'd suppose that what may have happened to you, is that the deivce had already downloaded the L update (from 10f to 20f) before you pulled off the root on KitKat. Then you simply acknowledged the install, which perhaps KK would allow to continue through.
Reports are the L will not allow this. So, going forward, someone rooted on L would not be allowed to complete the install even if the package is already downloaded on the device.
Still, it is, interesting.
Need help, did somebody revive this update? If someone know about it please tell me what's new on it.
I just received a notification about a new update today. I'm not doing it until know what's in it.

I've been having issues with Wi-Fi staying connected to either home or work networks and have to reboot the phone to get them to connect
I have just yesterday got a replacement phone from AT&T after getting bitten by that boot loop found on certain models. Oddly, it took about a year to manifest. I now have LG 810, with Android 6.0 preinstalled, and updated shortly thereafter to H81022b software. So far, it's been okay, but with all my apps and data gone (I did not root the earlier model, out of fear it would brick my very expensive phone) I haven't done much. I am considering rooting it, but ... I need to make sure it will work right. So far though, the phone has not been acting weird, so it's good, I guess?

You wont be able to root your device as you cannot downgrade from latest firmware.
I read some where on XDAdevelopers (I wish I could find it to post the shortcut), that any phone, you can get the image from your phone then add root to that, and finally flash the new image back on your phone. Is anybody familiar with this? I have read so much looking for away to put root onto my phone, even if it means flashing a rom onto it and then rooting. Or the rom comes with root.
H81022B
I have been reading for well over a couple of months, waiting and hoping there is even a lengthy method I could use.
Hey! Did you ever get your phone rooted? Because I have the h81022f. I think I've got a general understanding of what I'm going to have to do but I need to make sure that that last letter they add on there doesn't change a step or add or subtract something through the method of having to root it.

I had my phone repaired because of the bootloop and when they sent it back to me they had installed 6.0. I followed the LG UP instructions to DOWNGRADE back to 5.0, worked perfectly. If I can find the specific post I'll link it here. But should be rather easy to find, but haven't really been in this forum for a bit.
