Hello,
So I finally got the notification to download OTA Lollipop today, which I did. Problem is, when I went to install it, the phone restarted, an ERROR screen popped up. I restarted the phone, the update wasn't installed and now when I "Check for Updates" it says I'm up to date.
How can I install the update without side-loading it?

I had the exact same issue but it sounds like a good thing it didn't update from all the issues everyone keeps posting all over the net. Is your device rooted? OTA only works on completely stock devices I read somwhere.
I too ran into this problem. But before i returned my phone to stock i converted it to kali linux. At first i thought it was an encryption issue, so i restored my phone. I still received the error message.
To install kali linux i had to unlock the boot loader, then flash the software. I returned to stock by wiping, flashing stock, then locking the boot loader.
With Xposed not supporting 5.0 I am thinking of stating 4.4.4
I want to stay at 4.4.4. Can't get rid of the Update nag -- and I've tried everything.

I found my problem. My gps.conf file was edited by Faster GPS. I forgot to revert before the OTA and thus my error occurred. I hope this helps.
I'm still getting the same issue after supposed install:
I've had the OTA notification for a while but it won't install. It downloads and then when it does the reboot I see it trying to update then I get the 'Red Triangle'. It reboots again back to 4.4.4
Phone was rooted but still using the stock ROM so I did a factory restore, I'm still getting the same issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I got this update a few days ago on my rooted Tmobile G2. Applying the update bricked my phone, as it was stuck in a recovery boot loop. Had to use this:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...ricked-lg-g2-stuck-twrp-no-download-mode.html
to get it unstuck. Also, I tried the LG Support Tool to pull the update, but it was trying to download a 1.7gig update. I cancelled it before the install process in the fear that it would bork my phone.
Has anyone gotten the update to install successfully on their phone? (rooted)
I got the update but didn't run it. I learned my lesson last time. I'd love to know what it brings and how to install it though.

I'm there but can't figure out how to type in terminal command, can you help me out with this? I'm stuck in the recovery boot loop.
*EDIT* nevermind I figured it out after a factory reset though UGH!
I also got the update notification. I deleted 213MB upgrade file in cashe. It was in the root of cashe folder not in /cashe/foa/. I still get the stupid upgrade notification. How can we kill it? I have Titanium backup but software MUC is not an option on our phones.
OK found how to turn it off. Long press the update, App Info pops up, uncheck show notifications. Clear cashe and then reboot.
You can use stomproot (brute force method) to root this OTA. towelroot won't work. Before applying OTA, make sure custom recovery is replaced with stock recovery. Otherwise you will end up in boot loop.

Can confirm this works...thanks...autorec still works as well
If I have not installed a custom recovery, but just rooted the phone with AutoRec, will it soft brick my phone? Since I don't have TWRP or CWM, I would have no way to enter adb shell. So, it sounds like if I soft brick it, I'd have to restore factory settings to get it to boot, right? Are there any significant improvements to the 20g versus the 20e? Thanks.
I got this this morning and installed it...no issues whatsoever. Not sure what its for, but I got it.
Im stock unrooted.
I ended up going with the LG support tool method and installed the update (1.7gigs)...not really sure what the changed though. Root was lost, but I used Stump Root to get it back and everything is normal again. If anyone has the list of changes, plz post

Where exactly do I "long press the update? I deleted the update file from cache but can't find this App Info popup menu. Is it within the file explorer or the settings menu?

As long as you deleted the update you can safely press the install button...it may or may not actually power off...but if it doesn't just reboot after pressing and the notification will be gone...also to prevent it from downloading in the future you can dial 3845#*80X# and click wlan test then ota setting and click disable...you can re-enable by going through the same process and pressing enable...works for most variants
Mine tried to update: it rebooted, said it was installing while showing a progress bar and then it stopped and restarted. Nothing changed.
Does anyone know what this update is? Preliminary to the lollipop update?
Any idea why my nearly stock system didn't take the update. I am rooted with towel root and several apps disabled and frozen with Titanium.
Thanks

you press and hold on the update in the notification bar and app info will popup.

Same here, just rooted, no custom recovery and went through the update process. Completed update, still on e not upgraded to g
Plugged into LG Mobile Support Tool and updated that way, ran STUMPROOT and bruteforced. Rebooted and had root ^_^ Updated SuperSU binaries and rebooted once more and ran AutoRec. Now time to update everything again and remove the bloat they put back on.
Also to find the dialer code to update touch software, knock on isn't working. :silly:

From what I saw on androidpolice it includes in-flight wifi stuff and some patches. Probably blocking some of the older rooting methods
Took the update last night, i was rooted with stock recovery but it went through just fine. Now when i try to root via StumpRoot it says my device is rooted before i even do anything. I don't have root access though.
Anyone else experience this problem? I've already tried a factory reset but still no-go.
this "update" seems absolutely useless. however, it could be nice to get a flashable radio from it.

Posted in the wrong forum earlier.
1. Rooted phone 2 months ago
2. Factory reset because it kept restarting.
3. After factory reset the phone wouldn't go past the lgsetup.
4. Used the wrong img file and bricked phone.
5. Fixed with the right img file. (Always check md5!)
6. After I got everything working I updated to MM.
7. Since MM update I get the following error "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." and Mobile ID is stuck on download.
Pretty sure I broke it by updating. Any help is greatly appreciated!

That mobileID thing is tiny carrier specific unnecessary app, you just have to disable. The google play store has stopped is either going to have to be factory reset whereas you'll be better off resetting from recovery, OR send it to LG , they'll fix it for free and send you a free postage label, takes like 10 days.

That's probably what messed you up.
Never factory reset from settings on a rooted phone.
I don't have the Boost version of the Stylo but there is no custom recovery (TWRP) for that model, is there?
Yeah. No custom yet. I was able to fix the lgsetup issue. Now it's just an issue with Google Play store not working now.
I was thinking about trying to do another reset but am worried I'll break it again. And this time there is no good way to unbrick MM.

Took the chance and factory reset from recovery. Works fine now. Woo!
Thanks for all the help!
I'm on rooted Oreo 8.0. In UK. Security update has appeared. Anyone tried taking it on a rooted Oreo Pixel? I'm not too bothered about losing root, that's easy to put right, I just want to avoid a time consuming disaster.
All working fine here, of course have to reroot and whatnot. But no problems.
It won't let me install it. Whatever no big deal

It won't let me install it as well. Don't want to have to update by flashing factory image and losing data. But. It wouldn't be the first time. So, yeah no big deal, just a bit of a pain.

Before flashing factory script, edit the script to remove "-w"
It is the "-w" that wipes device, not the factory firmware.
This has been discussed again and again since November 2016.

I downloaded the full image and removed the -w in the flash-all then saved it and updated, rerooted, added back su hide no problem at all. Even kept my theme installed!

Did you have to wipe the internal storage in TWRP as the root guide suggests again? Or was that a one time deal for when we first move to Android O?
Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
Nope didnt wipe internal storage. But I assume that was needed coming from N to O and I modded the flash all bat to not erase my system for this Sept full image. So far so good, if i see anything bad I will report back here.

Same here. Used the image from the Google site with the -w removed and no wipe. Re-roooted with no issue and it even kept suhide and it functioned after the root. Did this on an XL and a Pixel last night with no issues so far. No Google Play Services crashes on reboot either, so that is a win.
Does anyone know what are the issues with september update? Or google just fixed everything with this new release?
I can't find the changelog anywhere :/
Anyone actually had the Sept update yet?
I haven't.
Update: just unenrolled from the Beta and the update popped up.
Hi everybody,
I'm back with a new problem in my Honor 8 (FRD-L04)... I was one of the user who installed the faulty version 15.0 of the Magisk update, so as you can imagine my phone went into bootloop and had to go all over from a backup I did the past September. I was running the firmware version B385, and because I lost many important things for no backing up lately, I decided I would just update to the firmware version B389. My phone was rooted, so I had to flash a stock recovery and do a full package download for the update. Everything went smooth and the update worked well. I had to do a full wipe because after the update the bootloader locked and I unlocked it to root the phone once again. This happened 2 days ago, and today I tried to use the camera and this is were everything started going down. The camera simply doesn't load, if I clear the data and cache of the app and reopen the app, it shows the initial screen where you need to swipe it to start using the camera but after that it goes in some kind of opening closing loop, until finally it closes. When I try to open it again, it stays in a black screen until it closes. I have restarted the phone and cleared the dalvik/cache in TWRP but the problem persists. I don't know if this is important, but after starting the camera app and failing launching it, the flashlight stops working too. If i restart the phone, and start the flashlight it works well. I have been thinking in reinstalling the camera app, but I can't find the apk for it.
Hope somebody can help me with this small issue, so thanks in advanced

Thanks for replying Rommco05... You mean to downgrade to the B385 update? or rollback to B381?
I have found the update.zip file for the B389 upgrade here http://gsmtube.com/android-tips-tri...89-android-7-0-nougat-update-europe-9747.html but the links appear to be broken..
Rommco05, can you help me how to downgrade? I'm a noob at this and your help would be greatly appreciated! thanks
