[Q] My OPO won't update! I need help! - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I got my opo last summer and I was sooo excited to get it. I got the invite that morning and at that moment I changed my mine from getting a nexus 5 to getting the OPO. So a few months past and I finaly found out how to root my device and I did everything I could to preserve it. So one day I update my OPO and all of a sudden my Device wasn't rooted anymore! I wasn't completely devastated and everything looked fine. Then another month past and I got a notification for an update I think 33R or something like that so I didn't really care as much so I left it alone. I tried to fix it but nothing. So I didn't care. But now that the OPO is getting the update for android 5.0 soon or maybe its already out I really need to fix this NOW! So if anyone can help it would be the most helpful of you cause I'm starting to think of getting a new phone. But the OPO is such a great phone I don't want to get rid of it for a while. Please help! I really need to know how to fix this!

Just download the updates and flash them sequentially, with a reboot in between each update. You'll find them here

I'm confused as to what the problem is? If it's not having root anymore, you need to download SuperSU zip and flash that in your custom recovery like twrp our whatever you have.
Every time you do an update the SuperSU file can be flashed, it won't do any harm but it'll make sure you retain root

[Q] Anyone know what the new AT&T LG G2 update is?

Got a notification this morning that there was a new update available for KitKat. I do not know what the update is as I postponed it. I am currently running KitKat 4.4.2 Kernel version 3.4.0. The build is D80020c. I am rooted. I have no other information except that it shows that an update is pending but it will not tell me what the update is and I do not know where to find out what it is.
Anyone have any ideas as to what this is? I am concerned because the last time an update rolled out, it soft bricked my rooted phone.
I spoke with tech support at AT&T and they claim that they do not know what it is and suggested that I call LG for an answer.....

Don't install it, it jacked up my phone. I was running the rooted mixed partition D80020c and I can't boot or get into download mode now. All I get it a constant reboot back to recovery. Cannot install another ROM, cannot restore a backup. My daughter was playing with my phone and pushed to continue with the install and now I'm trying to unscrew it.

Is there any way to force a not install or deny it? The only option I have is to postpone the install and after 4 hours, it will run again and continue to run every 4 hours unless I find a way to break the cycle. How do I force a no install option?
That is what happened to me last time with the "q" update. I postponed the install (no option to not take it) and it installed itself after 4 hours when I left my phone on one night. I woke up to a bricked phone.....

I don't know how to permanently disable the update, but I'm sure there's a way. As info, I was able to easily fix my phone with the help of this thread posted by @thecubed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696. I didn't read it all, but this might be what disables the update.
I'm not rooted. I took the latest update and all is fine. It's google+ fixes and Google wallet support. It actually let me set up tap & pay! I'll have to go somewhere to try it out.

I got the notification too but figured that it would probably screw things up since I'm rooted and running TWRP so I did a little searching and came across this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50454408&postcount=3 . It's been a few hours since I changed the setting and haven't seen the update notification again although AT&T pushed the update into CACHE/FOTA sometime this morning.
Well scratch that, the notification just came back. I'll try freezing it now.
Well if rooted just use TB to freeze software update. I am also running a mixed partition D80020c. I am on Straight Talk AT&T. Before rooting I tried taking the official OTA of KitKat but for some reason you can't enter an APN type so I couldn't get or send MMS. So I flashed back to the D firmware,rooted,added custom recovery,entered the APN type and then flashed the modified C firmware. You could also use Root Freezer instead of Titanium Backup to freeze

[Q] how to update a 5.0.1 rooted?

Hey community,
after updating my 5.0 LTE 32 Shield Tablet some month ago and rooting it, I came to the conclusion that I don't really need root, but would like to continue receiving OTAs and have a device that just works.
Prio1:
Have a tablet with the latest updates installed.
Prio2:
As 1, but rooted.
I have made a apps+sysapps backup with Titanium.
What do you recommend as the next step?
Thank you very much.
All the best, Esshahn
Some additions:
1. I noticed I'm actually having 5.0 on my Shield. It's the 5.0.1 update plus the nVidia stuff that comes up all the time in the notification center.
I really just want to undo all root and whatnot actions and have a right out of the box experience on my Shield. I already did some stupid stuff (factory reset) and therefore lost my personal data anyway, so there's nothing to lose.
I noticed this forum isn't really active. If anyone doesn't know the answer, but could point me to the right forum for help that would be nice too.
Thank you
flash the full OTA through recovery: https://forums.geforce.com/default/...hread-released-2-17-15-/post/4464815/#4464815
then reinstall supersu through recovery, no factory reset needed
Thank you for replying.
I got annoyed by it all yesterday and flashed 2.1, now I don't have root or custom recovery anymore.
Now the fun part: When I want to update to 2.2 normally (since it's now supposed to be a standard device without any hacks), it just shows the error robot.
So now I'm stuck with 2.1 and can't move left or right.
After reading all those comments about messed up colors in 2.2 I'm wondering if its actually worth the effort to update?
Any idea on that Bogdacutu?
Thanks,
Esshahn

you can flash the full OTA through TWRP or CWM, no idea why it won't work with stock recovery though
the update supposedly fixes the graphics glitches that appear in various apps on update 2.1, that might be a good reason to update
Thank you!
Actually, since I didn't have CWM installed anymore, I just sideloaded the latest OTA, which worked nice.

[Completed] LG G2 Boots into TWRP Every Time I try to boot after Update

Alright, so before I say anything, I have not visited this site nor have I conducted any business with roms, TWRP, etc in the past year let's say. I used to be an avid visitor, flashing a bunch of roms, but was tired of the amounts of bugs and problems that I found. So I restored my back to stock on my G2 from TWRP. Been using it for about 1 year now, just so I didn't have to deal with problems... until now.
So a few days ago I saw an update in my notifications, but for the love of God I cannot remember what it said. All I know was that it needed to update something about the phone, not for example an app. Today I decided just to update it, and suddenly the phone rebooted into TWRP. I thought that was weird so I rebooted it again, and back into TWRP I was. I tried restoring some old backups to see if they would maybe boot into it, but once again it keeps bringing me to TWRP. Now I am stuck in a position where I am unable to use my phone and am not sure what to do next. I haven't visited these forums in a while either so Im not sure where to post this xD.
Honestly if someone can suggest something or help me in any way, it is appreciated. If there is anything I can do to help, just say the word.
I am using the Canadian Variant of the LG G2, from wind. I believe it is a D801 but not an actual D801, as I remember being told to only flash D803 roms as it was basically a D803. Not sure if that helps. Im planning on getting a new phone so I just need this one to hang on a little bit longer.

Update to 5.1?

Hi everyone,
I know I am going to sound very annoying but I have googled various threads for hours and I still have not come close to an answer, so please be easy on me. I am a total noob!
So basically, Long story short, I bought this Moto G 2015 (4th Gen - Xt1072 the 5inch screen one) earlier this year, and it has been very slow ever since! So now, I am getting notifications that I cant update to 5.1!
The issue is, my phone is rooted, and I would like it to remain rooted! So, I am assuming i will not be able to install the update file.
The real question I have is, how do I go about this? How do i update to 5.1 (22.46.12.en.GB) without losing my root? I am happy with backing it all up on Titanium, and then updating but I don't know how to do it. Do I have to download the new android on my laptop and then re-install it or something? All this technical talk is literally racking my brain!
I know the solution is probably simple so I would really appreciate if someone can give me a simple answer!
Thanks so much
U have to unroot before doing update .. Or wait for flashable zip of updated rom

Ok, how do I find if there is flashable zip of updated rom? will I lose my files? I have backed them up in titanium anyway
i tried to update my firmware, and now the phone goes to recovery. when i try to start the phone normally, it works for maybe 30 seconds and then restarts back to recovery. Please help anyone, need this urgently sorted!!

Problem with root

I unrooted with su in order to try get updates didn't work I used the. e LG one click method from source Forge that's somewhere up here. when I tried to reroot su got hung up and now it says I have to manually root. I do this stuff on the low on my . dad's pc for like a couple hours a week 2x a week sometime more. sometime less so what do I have to do to fix this I have a d850 with 5.01. so I tried running it through but it just give same results with that method. Help please
Updates via OTA are not possible by just unrooting with su. You have to revert back to KK and then proceed forward. You will end up downloading a few OTAs to get the most up to date version. Be prepared to spend a few hours. Then you will have to root again.
