So I just bought the L70 2 months ago and rooted it this month, I received notification of the first OTA 1 week after I bought it, It claims to improve internet performance, But I never updated for fear of being locked out of root access...
Anybody who has the same phone around here can confirm if it can be updated to the latest OTA and still being able to root?
Software version is:
V10a_01-APR-2014
Build Number:
KOT49I.V10a

Is the one showing the lollipop update and if I update will I still be able to root using towelroot? I saw the stuff about losing the warranty if I treat it like my cellphone and root with customer recovery and all that.
Lollipop is not coming until the 18th. I'm sure you were prompted for the last Kit Kat update.

Check the version number of the ota. If it is 2.0 then its lollipop and rooting may not be available yet. If it is 1.x then its just a kitkat ota and your good to go.

Whats up everyone i have a quick question i recently rooted my lg g2 but now i see they are about to release 5.0 lollipop for lg g2. Can i still update the ota i get when it is released or will it brick my g2. If it will brick it or disable it how do i take it back to original where it will update itself and dont have any root detectable files basically like i just took it out of the box?:silly:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Usually it isn't advised to take an OTA update on a rooted device, so it's probably best to remove root first.
No response in two days, thread closed.
Hello xda forum. I currently have a samsung galaxy s6 that has been rooted. I actually tripped Knox in the process by using TWRP. and I was wondering when do I have to update before my apps stop working because of my android version being too low? I was reading online that Android 6.0 marshmallow was going to be released in the fall so I'm wondering if I'm going to have to update to that when it comes out. And how do I update when I'm rooted on 5.0.2 I can't use an OTA update because I tried going into the settings and I tried doing a software update in there but its not letting me so how am I supposed to update my phone to marshmallow 6.0? I'm from Canada and our cell phone plans last two years so if I can go without updating for two years I will be happy. can somebody please reply saying what I should do?

2 years will be fine. No offence mate but keep your threads to a minimum for similar questions. This easily could have been dealt with in your other post

OTA updates, sadly, no. You can root and unroot though, there are many threads on the forum. Look for them..

So if i rooted my flex 2 ,how will i know whether a OTA update is available ????
I have a Lenovo Tab ,which i rooted .In that i still get OTA updates ...
Like that why cant i get OTA updates in my g flex 2 ??
Different companies have different policies, for example Sony are quite happy for you to unlock your bootloader (voiding your warranty) and LG Won't allow us to unlock our bootloader. And to be honest I've always found out about new OTA updates on XDA way before my carrier get the update. If getting the latest ROM is such a big issue for you I'd suggest you remove root as I don't see LG changing their policies any time soon. And if your wanting Marshmallow when it comes out you can only root it with an unlocked bootloader at the moment, something we don't have.
According to news, LG will soon release marshmallow update to G Flex 2 .
So, mine is a AT&T model H950 ,running lollipop also rooted.
If I want to install the update what should I do next?
Please explain as I am not a expert,Just a newbie .
Will unrooting help ?
I rooted my phone using Kingoroot which also has a unroot option.
Hy, just wondering if there's anything for the LG stylo 2, meaning about recovery ,root, and hopefully roms?. Thanks

Boost is billing the neutered version of the LG G Stylo as the Stylo 2. And if you have already updated to 6.0 there is no current way to root or rollback to 5.1.1.

I'm currently living in México. It just came out last weekend. It came already with M 6.0.1. I'm guessing that I will have to wait for a while. Thanks for getting back to me.

Theres hardly any ROMs for the original Stylo so who knows. Seems we got left behind.

I think Nemo is confused. As was said earlier there Stylo 2 just came out. It came with 6.0.1 The G Stylo came with 5.1.1 and could be up or down graded as you saw fit and if you were willing to do the work of restoring kHz's etc.
These value phones seem to get left behind quite a lot. I think the G Stylo only had ...2 custom roms? Both Lollipop. When the 2 came out I jumped on it. This far nothing really can be done to it. People are working on root, and I've been doing my own searching for it. It looks to be a sleight ways away tho. Just be patient and enjoy the phone as it it. It's still pretty good

Actually I am not. Now there is a real Stylo 2 but Boost marketed a cut down version of the Stylo with 1gig of Ram and an 8gig rom as the Stylo 2 at the time of the previous post. And once you had 6.0 on it any tampering beyond basic file maintenance popped some form of tamper seal that made your phone brick with a 1003 error. So no you could not roll back because Boost never released a kdz and with a tamper proof bootloader we could not generate one. The T-Mobile and Metro version could be unlocked, rooted, and romed. That one had 2 gigs of ram and a 16gig rom. So no not confused you are just late to the party. (Also I owned the phone op and I were speaking of, hard to be 'confused' when starin at it.') The one you are speaking of was just released this month to the prepaid markets.
Sad to read no rom for the LG stylo 2
yup, it's 2017 and still literally nothing. guess this phone is "left out" and no one seems to have this phone to experiment on it and root it.
