Whenever I try to update to v10j via OTA, it gives me an error. I am not rooted (yet) - LG G Stylo Questions & Answers

Why would it be doing this? I already removed root via the SuperSU app permanently. What could be causing the error?

You might have a system app removed or missing
Or maybe you have done something with the build prop as well if thats messed with that will also throw an error out.
If you read closely it should tell you what the error is

I really hope not. How do I go about finding out if I'm missing a system app? I've already done a factory reset along with unrooting via SuperSU's app.

I don't have TWRP installed, either. I've got stock recovery and stock everything. I was going to remove root so I could update and then re-root for v10j and then install the new version of TWRP.

I fixed it. I rooted the device and flashed the v10i recovery image for TWRP that I found and I'm now going to update to v10j via the kdz, as you suggested. Thank you.

No problem glad i could assist u in your problem

Why not get TWRP again and flash @GameTheory's v10j pre-rooted stock rom, it's not like you're going to see anything special with that update it's the last one before MM:

well even if you Remove root via SuperSU that doesn't mean your SYSTEM is unmodified, the only way to get back to FULL Unmod. software is by following my steps of restoring back to stock, here is the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-lg-g-stylo-h631-ms631-v10j-stock-t3211563
P.S. You need to have TWRP for this so Re-Root and Re-Flash TWRP and follow steps

[Q][Solved] NE5 Update with Philz Recovery and SuperSU? (Not Towelroot)

So I saw here that the NE5 update was out, and I want to install it. However, obviously I can't do an OTA update due to it being a "modified device." I am running Philz Recovery and root from flashing SuperSU.zip.
Is there any way to update manually, without losing root (permanently), recovery, or wiping all my data? I know that I could always restore the stock recovery and firmware via ODIN, but that would get rid of everything, including my data.
(Side question: What exactly does the NE5 update add? I know it's another build of 4.4.2 but what features?)
Thanks.
SOLVED: Just went the long route with wiping and installing the updated NE5 firmware via ODIN. Flashed Philz recovery and SuperSU.
Admins/Mods feel free to delete.

The NE5 file is already deodexed and rooted. Therefore, you don't lose root. You get Wi-Fi calling feature with this updated. And, I believe it's an update to the modem.

Just download the file and follow the instructions here:

Remember: You will lose all data. So it's better if you do a backup of your data using Titanium or alike to get the data back.

Will do. So this keeps PhilZ? And this is the update after ND2, making it the most recent? Sorry for all the noob questions, I've never had this problem with my Galaxy Nexus, Droid, or Motorola Xoom.

If it takes you back to full stock then you can re-root using the same method you rooted the first time and it will root just fine.

Yes, that would be a good idea. PhilZ has a special feature in the factory reset to wipe out everything for installing a new rom. Use that feature and you're good to go.

OTA Updates, Keep Root?

I just got the 4.4.4 OTA update and appear to have lost root, i'm sure i can re root again when i get home.
However i'm wondering what people recommend in keeping root when taking an OTA update.
Thanks for any advice.

SuperSU has a "survival" mode you can check off. It basically tries to keep root after an update. Luckily its easy enough to re-root the One+.

You don't need a pc at all, you boot back into recovery after the update and flash your SuperSU zip.

I'm guessing you used a toolkit to unlock and root, right? If you haven't done it already, download SuperSU from here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip
Then you can flash it using the install menu in TWRP recovery.

Of course it works. Also guys TWRP will try and reroot your phone a well after a flash if it detects you lost root. Not for nothing but some of you need to do more reading before you street messing with your phones and leave them toolkits alone.

@playya alright mate got my one plus one now. unlocked bootloader installed twrp and flashed super su. disabled update cm recovery on update. then did update from 22r - 25r then did 25r - 30O and obviously 30O - 33r I didn't realise that the update cm recovery would not stick after each update. so ive now tried to reflash twrp but command line says writing recovery ok and finished but checked on phone and its not there? any ideas do I need to unlock bootloader again which I doubt. but not sure if flashing update would also relock?? cheers

If you have root and a custom recovery you shouldn't be taking an OTA in the first place.

7.1.1 OTA Not installing

I am rooted with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed.
I tried removing root and still having the same issue.
The OTA downloads but fails shortly into the first step. Is there a better way to side-load this? I would rather not do a full re-install again...
You probably need the stock recovery.

I don't know any reason why you wouldn't be able to put the stock recovery back over TWRP.

You need to flash stock boot back before upgrading.. You can then side load the ota, install twrp and reroot again.. No loss of data

H91810i rooted with recowvery!

The latest update, it seems, can be rooted using the recowvery method. Dirtycow was patched by Google in a Dec. 5 security patch, but it seems LG didn't include that in their latest security update, which was created Dec 1! In any case, my phone is rooted with TWRP, and working just fine. So, for now we can still root with the update! I'd also like to point out, that this means we now have an official KDZ released version of rootable stock to roll-back to with LGUP!
Glad I forced ya to do it huh
How? I've tried multiple times and it would go through but upon booting into recovery i would get a 'no command' error

I was on 10i last week after i got phone back from service. I flashed NotSoStock Rom which said i was on the 10d base. Then flashed Overdrive Rom which put me back to 10i. I didnt have any problems switching basebands within custom roms if that helps.

You must do it manually according to the instructions

Note: make sure you rename your TWRP to twrp.img, and put SuperSU file into memory card (your TWRP cannot open internal storage).

Another upgrade question..

So, I'm on B380 since febuary or march (L09C432), and I think my battery stinks. It was way better before upgrading to Emui5. I haven't had the time to fix it but no I do. Just can't remember the "rules".
I'm no unlocked, Twrped and rooted. In System update I can download B389. But, will this work? Can I install it just like that? Will I loose Twrp and/or root?
I don't have a computer with me atm so I have no way of undoing the upgrade if I start it, thats why I want to be sure.
Thanks a bunch in advance guys!

i preffer no, because if you brick at certain points ,PC is must to unbrick,if your phone is hard bricked.so stay back is good.

I'm not sure about this sentence, u not unlocked, no rooted no twrp? If no make update without any issue. If u are rooted and u have root update will be unsuccessful
Anyway B389 is pretty good update

Sorry. It's supposed to say "I'm NOW unlocked, twrped and rooted."
Ok so it's a no go then. Guess I'll better wait until I'm back home and have access to a computer.
Thanks guys.

were u rooted at b380?
if so, which root?
Since there is already B394 and some reported B398 coming I would wait a bit longer to update your device. And since you have twrp it's either flashable through it or you must first unroot your device, second fastboot stock recovery.img (don't forget recovery2.img) and then finally update via system update or dload. IF you are not familiar with the methods or the process please use search function on this website.

im not sure to be honest. SuperSU i think but might be magisk as well.
im at home with my computer now. Should i just install stock recovery and install via System update? or download some files and flash via twrp?
nevermind backup, i have all my pictures on nextcloud and everything else is ok to loose.

But upgrade can
Ok so I ended up downgrading to B131 and from there I upgraded via System Update to B389.
I have installed TWRP, no problems there. But I cant get SuperSU to work.
Running TWRP 3.0.3.0 and tried flashing SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0 (which is what i think i used before). No luck. SuperSU app says "no binaries". So then I tried to mount system partition in TWRP and install Supersu again. Made no difference.
I have also tried flashing a newer version och SuperSU, but that didnt help.
So, what am I missing guys?
