1. will i be able to get OTA updates?
2. is there some way to revert if something goes wrong while flashing a new Rom?
3. can i break my phone forever?

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, i wanted to update lg g2 to lollipop, i am currently on d80020u, first i tried to update to d80020y, i rooted phone with supersu, transferred update file(provided in link on xda forum), installed adb fastroot, it went to update window and then error err 0x1111004.
i looked it up a bit, they say its due to rooted phone. now how do i update??
i had stock phone, no custom rom, nothing at all.
kindly explain how update in detail.
thnkx

Hey there!!
I'm a newbie, would appreciate your help very much. Long ago I had rooted my Milestone 2 and installed a Cyanogen. But that was long ago and now I'm overwhelmed with so much information on this forum.
I've got a Moto G (2013), Dual Sim XT1033, bought in Brazil.
Update to Lollipop 5.0 has been one of the worst decisions, it works VERY badly now.
I wanted to get a new ROM. (Cyanogen 12? but I saw on their webpage my device is not supported, it also gave me that message when I tried to install thei apk)
It can be that or another popular one. The thing is that I dont know how to do it, and FAQs and walkthroughs assume I know a lot of concepts which I dont (like the difference between rooting and flashing my device) and procedures I am not aqcuainted with.
Please, has anyone got a starting guide? About flashing/rooting (?) my motoG and how to install (and which do you recommend?) the rom without much technical vocab..
Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Moto G- first you have to unlock the bootloader then root your phone then flash a custom recovery then you can flash a rom of your choice ( i recommend the stock optimized lollipop, has great battery life :good: - forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3017510
Does steps for unlocking bootloader and rooting is same even after updating to 5.0.2, I mean same as steps that are available for moto G android 4.4.2 ?
I have moto G (1st Gen) bought in India updated to 5.0.2
Thanks in advance
So I was wondering if my phone is "young" enough to get the marshmallow update and after a lot of googling I could not get a clear answer...
I own the LG Optimus G Pro E986 and it is almost 2 years and 9 months since the manufacture date and its current OS is Jellybean...
I searched on some sites and found out that LG will allow the marshmallow update on LG G phones first, if I remember correctly, but is LG still updating Optimus G Pro phones? Is there still a way I can get marshmallow? If not, I guess I will install lollipop and would appreciate if you could suggest a good ROM for my device!
Thanks

Hello,
This forum is for newbies finding their way around XDA Developers, it isn't a development forum.
You may head over to Optimus G Pro Android Development and find an appropriate ROM for yourself.
