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.

Okay so I have a question about Lollipop rolling out for LG G2 owners. I have the 32 gb LG g2 rooted and flashed to page plus. I just want to know would it be safe to update to lollipop OTA. would I lose my root or the flash at all?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Since you're rooted and have a custom rom the Lollipop OTA will fail to install on your device. It won't hurt it if it tries but it will fail. In order for the OTA to work you have to be 100% stock. You can see this on how to that, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 but it's probably easiest to just flash the lollipop stock firmware. Back up first though off your device. Also see this for further information, http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2

hi sorry I wasn't signed in. I wanted to say that I'm on the stock Rom still. I just have the phone flashed so I could use page plus as a carrier.

Can i install the OTA updates in my rooted nexus without doing unroot? I have android 5.1 ruining in my phone and yesterday I got the OTA update for 5.1.1..... Plz do help me and please do tell me the process if possible....
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The ota will not work if you're rooted or have made any system changes. You have to be 100% stock. See this which is dedicated to ota on the nexus 5, http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217.

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.
Hello everyone,
I am wondering if there is any confirmed source, the way, to update my Lg g pro 2 to the 6.0 marshmallow ? I found many sites with "working, no bugs" versions but Im little bit worry about to use it in my phone. My device is not rooted, it is not branded, just clean lg soft version 32gb.
Can anybody show me proper checked source to update my phone ? Is it possible without flashing ? If I have to flash it then no problem I just need a tip, step by step what to do, where do I have to click, what kind of tools do I have to use etc.
I'm kinda new fish in this pool so, try to help me instead of laughing at me, Thank you.
Those are spam sites.if update comes xda will be the first to know and hoping custom 6.0 will be out
