[Q] How to fully unroot phone to receive OTA update - LG G Flex 2

I rooted my G Flex 2 with the help of this forum but now I cant get new OTA update. I get a message on screen:
"This device is suspected in rooting. Software update is not available for rooted device."
I then tried entering Super Su and checked Full unroot option and restarted my phone several times but OTA is still not working and I get the same message.
What else do I need to do to get the new OTA?
Thank you!

you can choose between two ways.
1. (only, if an update is avaible)
-Download and install "LG PC Suite" for the Flex 2
-connect your phone
-click on update
-wait
-your phone is updated and unroot
2.
-Download your stock .kdz from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/development/kdz-lg-g-flex-2-stock-kdz-t3068441 (download your current firmware)
-use this guide to flash firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 (i know it's for the G3, but it works. i tried)

If you have the Sprint version as far as i know, it doesn't yet work with lg suite. I have tried several times and can't get the connection prompt on the phone. Suite continues to say switch to "pc connections" in the connections options but it never shows and will not load on the sprint device.

Thanks for the answers. I will try the LG PC Suite first. I don't have the Sprint version, I live in Serbia thus I have the standard Europe H955 version of the phone.
Downloading LG PC suite now, and will post the results later.
EDIT:
The LG PC Suite did the update to a new version of the software without a problem.
Thank you very much.

I want to flash xposed module for a while now. Would this method also work for flashing the xposed module?

try it by your self and report. in the theory you need a flashing tool like Flash Gordon or something like that. that the only way because there are no custom recoverys for the Flex 2
the methods above won't work, you need an app to flash .zips
flash at your own risk

One thing i noted is that phone is much more snappy afterward. maybe it's because of the cache rebuild that every build do or maybe there is some secret ingredient added in this update.
Very surprised to see another update from AT&T for the G2. I wonder if there's any chance of seeing 5.1.1 or 6.0.
Does this mess with root?

You can't update with root, at least I haven't been able to.
When updating it will just kick you back to the home screen with a message telling you, you're suspected of rooting and updates are not supported for rooted devices.
I also tried the method discribed in http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g2/general/links-manually-forcing-ota-20c-to-20u-t2828874 to force an update but I was unable to succeed
I'm waiting for dlpkgfile to update
How does one make this file root friendly? Wouldn't mind taking the time to do this.

i think thats the answer for no 5.1.1 i dont see why leave g2 at lollipop if its has bugs.. since they fix the stagefright on 5.1.1. so we need it 5.1.1 to get rid of this bug but aparently with this update theres no need to update to 5.1.1 but does this still have the memory leak bug?

The last command appears to force a package on the phone to start the update process without (or possibly after) a check for root, however when I run the command the nothing appears to happen making me think that the original Lollipop update(30f) either nerfed the command to prevent this kind of thing from happening, or they replaced the package with a new one for the 5.x iterations of Android. so it is a matter of waiting for people smarter than me to find out how to force the updates in the Lollipop update
TL;DR: yup I agree with you
Is there no way to unroot, install this update and then root again?
Negative

As far as I know you can't unroot a device. The way I'm doing it is reinstalling the original KK, then going trough the process of updating till the lastest update then rooting again.
I do hope someone could come up with way to install the latest update on rooted.
That did come to my mind but I felt it's just too much of a pain going that far back for a patch!
Can you people provide me the "D80030F" lollipop OTA Package file... i can not download it from any where all links says file is deleted or not available

1. You don't have to worry about lock bootloader
2. Which Software version are you running? v10e, v10i or v10j?
3. If you update there is a way to downgrade cuz we have previews KDZ's
I am running version 10i,
I am guessing tmobile wants to upgrade me to v10j. Is there a flash able version for 10j that I can use?
Thanks

How to unroot Sprint LG G Flex 2 on ZV6?

Ok so I purchased a brand new Sprint G Flex 2 on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/221950977883 and to my surprise it was already rooted with firmware ZV6 so now I can't take OTA updates since it stops updating halfway through the update and the green Android guy lies on his back with the "error" message. I already did the full unroot method using SuperSU but still a no go. Before I send this phone back to the seller I want to make sure if there is any hope in fixing this issue and allowing the updates. I also downloaded the root checker app to see if root was gone and it states root is not configured correctly. Not sure what that means as I used SuperSu to fully unroot. Any help would be appreciated as I only have 14 days to return this device to seller but I do not want it rooted as it prevents updates through Sprint. Thanks.

Those who want to unroot and go back to stock ZV6 (so they can get the OTA ZV9 update) should be able to use these "dd" flashing instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-fl...5-1-1-t3169212
along with the stock ZV6 firmware image from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-fl...k-img-t3217089
However, you will not only lose root. You will also lose the SIM carrier unlock. After reverting your phone to stock, your phone will be carrier locked to Sprint. That's because carrier unlocking is done by altering some "node db" system files.
After applying the OTA update to ZV9, you will have to redo both the carrier unlocking and the rooting of your phone. It's doable, but it's just something to keep in mind.

Thanks for the info. I have one question though. I did the unroot method using SuperSU and was wondering if that will not be enough to get OTA updates once I get my Sprint SIM card installed. From my knowledge if the system files were messed with OTA updates won't work correct and in this case you stated that carrier unlocking involves altering node db system files. So even if I did the full unroot method using SuperSU the altered files would remain correct?

I believe you are correct. Since the eBay seller altered some system files (that's probably why he rooted all these phones and installed SuperSU) to achieve the carrier unlocking, the OTA update for ZV9 is failing. Even if you unroot and delete all traces of SuperSU, I think the OTA will still fail. The update script probably does some sort of checksum verification of all the Android OS files before proceeding.
Also, I don't think you need a Sprint SIM in order to do the OTA update. I believe the OTA comes from LG's servers, not from Sprint. I've heard of people getting the OTA update even if they are using an AT&T or T-Mobile SIM. As long as your phone has data (cellular or Wifi) I think the OTA will download. But as you've found out, it won't install unless you go back to stock.

From the guide you just have to follow
1. Download and extract the stock img.
2. Transfer it to the root of your internal sdcard (images are usually named ZV6system.img) avoid moving the complete zip.
3. Put your phone in download mode (you can figure this out)
4. Use the dd command for your variant in your case LS996, just change the name of the ¨rootedsystem.img¨ to the one you downloaded.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand you´re done :good:

I did everything in the guide and phone even rebooted when I typed LEAVE after the "#" prompt but I still can't take OTA and Android guy falls on back with "error" message. I have another question when I click in the status section in the About phone settings and I scroll down to Brand it lists Chameleon. Is this normal?
Did you download the stock image from the forum I made?
Cause if you flashed your current system.img then you flashed the rooted one.
Make sure you are using the Send_command on the diag port of your phone if you arent doing this then you wont flash correctly and phone will stay rooted.
And yes, when the phone hasnt been unlocked internationally Chameleon is the ¨Sprint stock way¨

I did flash the ZV6 stock image from your forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/return-to-stock-ls996-stock-img-t3217089 and I used the send command to port 5 because that is where the Diag port is when I double click the ports.bat file. I actually tried this method twice and I still am not able to update without error. Maybe I do need a SIM card installed and will try it tomorrow when I get my SIM delivered from Sprint. Thanks a lot for the tips though.

Thats kind of weird you know, I OTA updated my phone even after international SIM unlocked.
How long does the flash process take? If it takes less than a minute then its not doing things as it should.
Did you enable USB Debugging before flashing?
Have you tried to Factory Reset after flashing the stock ZV6 system.img?

I do have USB Debugging enabled. The flash process takes around 1 minute and then the # shows up indicating it finished and then I type LEAVE and phone reboots. I even tried the factory reset after flashing it with the stock ZV6 image. This is very interesting but I will wait until tomorrow to make a decision on whether to keep the phone when I insert the SIM and see if that helps any. Thanks Alex for all your help.
I forgot to ask this but do I have to type the commands or is copying and pasting ok.

Well it depends on how did you copy/paste the command.
To flash the ZV6system.img it should be like this:
dd if=/data/media/0/ZV6system.img bs=8192 seek=58368 count=522240 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

Thanks for your patience with me. Do I have to run both the dump and flash commands as I have only been doing the flash command and maybe that is the problem?
is this how the commands should be typed?
Dump command:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=58368 count=522240 of=/data/media/0/system.img
Flash command:
dd if=/data/media/0/ZV6system.img bs=8192 seek=58368 count=522240 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
I'm in a similar boat w/ a slightly different issue. I bought the same phone from the same guy and have not been able to get it to activate on Sprint at all. Well, it "activates" but then it errors on updating the PRL. I have LTE data, but no call ability. It is very strange.
So far I have:
Unrooted via SuperuserSU app that was installed
Taken it to Sprint store and had them do everything they could (while being condescending about buying a phone not from them)
Played with every setting I can find
Factory reset many times at many stages
Flashed to the stock ZV6
Installed 2 OTA updates (now a third is coming through)
And every time, I get a your phone has been activated message, followed by trying to update the PRL and failing, leaving me in the same place I was to begin with. I'll try it again after this latest OTA update I'm getting, but I'm running out of things to try and I'm extremely frustrated lol. Anybody had the same problem? Any ideas? Anything? I don't know if maybe it's just a defective phone... sigh. Thanks in advance for any help!

Did you get a new SIM card from Sprint or did you use an old one because Sprint told me they need to send us one that has been programmed for the LG G Flex 2. On another note when flashed the stock ZV6 image did you send both the dump and flash commands and did you have problems getting the updates before you flashed to stock. Thanks.

Did you get a new SIM card from Sprint or did you use an old one because Sprint told me they need to send us one that has been programmed for the LG G Flex 2.

I picked up a new one at the Sprint store. I would hope they knew which one to give me haha. I only used the flash command. And yes, I had the same issue as you did with getting the updates before I flashed. No problem with that now, 3 updates later I'm on ZV9. Now if I could just get the phone activated...

download the above kdz.. download & install "LG UP"..connect your phone thru USB (im assuming u have LG usb drivers installed & ur pc detects it perfectly)
open LG UP.. select the kdz file
Select "UPGRADE" & execute... 10-15 min for installation & another 15-20 for booting up.

Guys, I purchased an unlocked AT&T LG V10. It's currently running h90020j. I haven't received any ota updates yet.
My concern is that if I flash the new software version, will my phone get locked again? I use Etisalat SIM card in it.
i want to update my Unlocked AT&T LG V10 to the latest update H90021W. i tried using lg bridge but it prompts me to update from the update center from the phone itself. when i try to update from the phone, it shows "Device is up to date".
my question is that if i update via flashing the firmware file, will my device be relocked by AT&T? i live outside USA and Etisalat as my carrier. i have already downloaded the .kdz file for v21w software. i worried whether the device will get relocked by AT&T. help me out guys.
also i am getting a pretty poor battery out of my V10. wondering whether the new update would give me a better battery life.

I have updated to H90021W months ago it went smooth and error free. all my data was kept in tact and I have face 0 issues since then. I hope they find a way to get the kdz file for the future updates. Also no it shouldn't relock the device mine was unlocked when it updated and stayed unlocked.

your link seems dead or not correct. - edit: link correct, was not working due to my vpn...
I assume he patched a G8+ boot.img with magisk manager.
boot image can be extracted from official Doha firmware found here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/doha/official/
manual on how to do this can be found on official magisk manager website.
be aware that when unlocking bootloader your phone will reset to factory settings.
This is what I did. Yes..
Worked great for my G8+. I guess people should just check which stock ROM file they get from lolinet to make sure it's the right one. I say that because, in my case, lolinet list had two files for the Brazilian stock ROM. I went to Settings / About / Version number and downloaded the matching file. Don't know whether the other file would work the same or not. Just didn't want to risk having any issue since G8+ is somewhat new and there's not much info on solving root problems on the Internet.
Hi,
Couple of questions
Does the Bootloader have to be Unlocked to flash the modified Boot image?
Or can I use update option?
Are Motorola releasing unlock numbers for Bootloader now?
Thanks, Carl

Hello, Carl. I guess it's not possible unless there's a flaw in the security. There are some articles on the Internet about that. Google "is-there-a-way-to-root-an-android-phone-without-unlocking-the-bootloader". I can't post URLs yet.
As for Motorola devices, I was able to unlock the bootloader without problems on my G8+, last week. The only caveat, I'm my case, is that I had to wait some days for the unlock bootloader option be available under developer options. It was disabled by default in my G8+. And, yes, they're releasing bootloader unlocking codes.
THANKS!
Have anybody with a rooted device tried to get wide angle camera working in gcam ports?
Thanks.

magisk module debloater and also sdmaid helped with most of the bloatware, the only thing I could not remove was google files but I just deactivated it.
a really weird thing happened with the April 1st update, basically the update started automatically and it failed at 3/6 so I tought I should restart my phone and test it again, but it got stuck in bootloop and I had to reflash a rom with fastboot cmd.
I think that's because I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone, cause u lose the right for updates after you do that, but for some reason lenovo/moto update system goes automatically the next second u connect to the internet and fails halfway thru so u have a higher chance to ruin your phone or something, instead of denying the update from the start
so the solution I found was to try and delete "moto update service" app that I can't force stop or disable but I couldnt find it in system/app or system/priv-app, that's because the app name is "3c_ota", so deleting that with SD Maid app worked and the "update system" option in settings is reverted to a sort of default android one that lets you check manually.
Had a similiar issue. I soft bricked my phone (bootloop) and installed a stock rom from an unofficial source. The funny thing is, this version did make like 3 or 4 system upgrades to PPSI.29.65-51 without any issue. But the 1st April updated failed to install. I then flashed the official 1st april stock image with the moto rescue and smart assistant. After that, the official ROM tells me my phone is not allowed to do updates because the security of this phone is compromised and I should contact lenovo support
Those upates are kinda annoying if they don't work, I guess I'll just completey flash the phone every 6-12 months with the moto assistant.
yeah you should always have a backup rom that you can download with moto assistant or from lolinet g8 roms (https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/doha/official/)
I also got the same message saying that my phone is compromised ( unlocked bootloader + rooted) and it won't receive any further updates, but I just deleted the "3c_ota" app (the moto update service) which is bad cause if forces automatic updates the second u connect to internet.
I'm not going to touch any further updates or security patches until android 10, which I will attempt to flash via moto assistant
