[Completed] Update rooted android [HEEEELP!]

Hi there, how you doing friends? I hope fine.
Well I'm new in this so I'll try not sounds like I'm dumb. Well, last week I rooted my device an Sony Xperia Z2, I was using android 5.1.1 the last version I could update via OTA, well to make the "root" I had to downgrade to kit kat 4.4.2 or something like that, but the sameway my device was rooted I keep receiving updates via OTA, and now I'm currently using Lollipop 5.0.2 and it's still rooted and I loved, my doubt is: The update via OTA appeared again to version 5.1.1 the version I had before I did all that process, if I update from 5.0.2 rooted (my actually version) to 5.1.1 my phone will be "unrooted"?
Thanks and sorry my bad English.

According to me , it shouldnt loss root access but im not 100% sure to be frank....
And in case u take the risk and it does loss root access i think so u can use kingroot to root ur phone back again.

I'm using an Stock Rom, but If I update it and lose my root access, I'll have to downgrade to Kit-Kat again, remake the root and then upgrade to 5.0.2 again, cause i can't find a rom 5.0.2 for my Device, not even here on XDA, i only found kit-kat :/
So, I rather wait till is possible to make root on 5.1.1. but thanks anyway.

Lg g pad f 8.0 v495 at&t flash stock firmware

Hello all,
Ive searched through the forums and it seems that there is only support for the gpad 7.0 or 8.3. I have successfully rooted the gpad but an OTA update attempted to come through and canceked because of root. I deleted some of the att bloatware so i would like to flash the stock rom if possible so i can update it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Has the Gpad f been lost and forgotten? Im surprised i havent received any input/suggestions.

lost
it probably has I have still yet to see a stock rom for this device, curse you AT&T

I finally received the 6.0 Marshmallow update today for my At&t GPad F 8 - v495.. Runs so smooth now, It 100% better when scrolling in the browser..
On another note my T-mobile s7 edge has had a update available for about 3 weeks now but I haven't takin it yet because It's already running on 6.0.2, I'm waiting on root an afraid it could get in the way of the work that's already been done to achieve root so I'm holding off for now..

Was your v495 rooted prior update? The newest firmware I have is the v49520c with marshmellow being v49520g
I cannot get it to work and I cannot find the stock firmware to reset it!

need help too
I am in same situation. Rooted and deleted bloatware. Can unroot but MM won't install. I think it may be all the bloatware, etc that I erased. Hard to find stock firmware. Any help is appreciated. I rooted with Kingroot.

For what it is worth, I spoke to AT&T today and they said Marsmellow has not yet been released to the v495

I'll be receiving my AT&T LG G PAD F 8.0 (V495) (5.0 Lollipop) in the next couple of days...
Before I start "Playing" is there any way for me to create a COMPLETE backup of the device so I can start fresh (and reset the root flag for the warranty) if I need to??

Best I can tell, there is no way to un-trip the root flag.
The correct way to do it would be to flash the stock firmware and start all over, but no-one can find the stock firmware. The LG PC Suite that works for a lot of the LG devices does not work as of yet on the v495. LG says the most up to date firmware is the v49510c. Marshmellow is v49520g I think.
Please someone correct me if I am wrong! I lost connectivity to my LG G3 through Qpair when I updated that to MM. I am strongly considering sending the pad to LG and have them reflash it!

Has anyone figured out how to root LG G Pad 8 v495 (6.0.0 marshmallow)?
Software: V49520g
Kernel: 3.4.0+
Build: MRA58K
I JUST got this new tablet today and it was 5.0.2 Lollipop when I 1st turned it on, and it got a forced OTA upgrade to 6.0.0 marshmallow while I was still going through the factory setup/activation process! LOL!!!

Can any of you extract the update zip please!? My tablet got stuck on att logo trying to root it

Really wish I didn't update to marshmallow, especially since it seems there's no way to flash the old version back onto it now. Two things are making me think about returning it:
caveat: I am utilizing this unlocked to use on Tmobile
1) LG disables the adaptable storage feature in marshmallow so you can't combine your sd card and internal as one "storage". You can't even move apps to sd card!!
2) For some reason, likely a bug in the firmware/software, I can't set the "mmsc" to allow my device to connect to Tmobile networks!
---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------
I do agree, Marshmallow is making this tablet quite smooth for the underpowered device it is, I'm only using it for streaming/video playing anyway as I got it on amazon for $80 unlocked.

Tot File is all i have.
LG VS495 5.0.2 Stock Firmware

This my first post and I know I'm asking a lot(and most likely impossible, but if someone has that DLL file to go with george241312's .tot file, I would so grateful!

For all those having problems with not being able to update to Marshmallow, I too was rooted when I was on 5.0.2 Lollipop an had the same problem as everyone else but I was trying to get the first small update that they pushed out an the only way I got it taken care of was to basically brick it until it wouldn't go pass the LG Boot screen then called LG and told them that my Device wouldn't Boot a past the LG Logo, Witch they walking me through a factor reset and ask me to turn it off for a hour then try it and if not call them back.. Well, needless to say that turning it off for a hour doesn't help.lol.. Anyways, They ask me to send it back to them because they put a one year warranty on all their Devices.. It was gone for 5 days and they sent the same device back to me with the small update already on it.. I will say don't brick it unless you can get a bill of sale from At&t because they do ask you send it in with the device... I did manage to get Xposed Framework install before I bricked it but it was buggy has hell, mainly because it was made for the LG Stylo.... Wish there was another way to fix this problem but AT&T hasn't released any firmware for any device since 4.3 Note 3 if I'm not mistaken.. Note: that I'm not telling you all to go and brick you device, I'm merely explaining how I got mine fixed. ..Good luck everyone..

Is this LG GPAD 8.0 F, able to root under Marshmallow?
I am thinking of ditching my Samsung Tab 7.0 A6 (2016) (model T285) due to the rooting issue (bootloader locked, no root possible, no 3rd party rom support).
I wish to get a LG G PAD 8.0 due to the knock code thingy and I already owned a LG G3 phone.
Is there a CyanogenMod firmware for this LG G PAD 8.0 F (Model V495)?

Here Help
Does anyone have the mixer_paths.xml for this device??? If so please post here so I can copy it.

question - best way to upgrade to latest firmware from 4.4 d85010d (rooted)

folks
i have my g3 for more than a year and it's on 10d 4.4 rooted with towelroot. i want to know what is the best way to update to the latest D85021r. my main goal is to retain root.
i was thinking using lg tool to reflash stock firmware then force OTA then root using one click from lg3 general section but if there is a quicker more effective way, please let me know.
thanks

You can only OTA with the D850 if you have an active AT&T sim in it. Otherwise there's no other way, besides just flashing a custom stock rom.

Yes i have active att sim

some follow up questions, hoping folks here can chime in with their experience/knowledge
1- is there any 5.0.1 stock ATT firmware that i can download and flash using LG tool utility?
2- if i reflash with 4.2.2 stock ATT firmware using the LG tool utility then OTA to the latest FW and rooted; am i stuck with 5.0.1?
3- can i fully unroot the phone afterward? If yes how? By reflashing 4.2.2 or some other method?
4- should i forget about flashing back to stock 4.2.2 and install TWRP then flash 5.0.1 ROM? What would be the benefits of doing this over flashing back to 4.2.2, OTA to 5.0.2 then root?
Thanks

I have a net 10 att sim in mine and it accepts att update ota but i prefer to flash through twrp

so are you on stock 5.0.1 rooted or some other ROM?
Are you also saying that every now and then you're reflashing 4.2.2 FW from 5.0.1 or whatever ROM that you're on?
thanks

I am on fulmics 2.6 its a stock based rom yes i go from 5.01 t0 4.2.2 or wichever version it is straight from flash tool then after downgrade att software starts downloading new update almost imediatly i was on the stock kk rom for d850 till about 6 months ago then cloudy 2.5 now fulmicss and u can downgrade to kk any time u like

Hi guys, i wanted to have my phone on lastest Lp stock rom. so i went got a att go phone sim. up on puting att sim my phone got ota update of 85021d and updated smoothly. about 1 hour later 85021q ota updated was pushed to my phone, again installed smoothly. Now I'm waiting for the 85021r update but it's not coming through.. it's been about 13 hours since 85021q ota update . Is there anyway I can force push 85021r ota update to my phone??....Nevermind found the way.

For AT&T, the only official way to upgrade the ROM is to use LG tool to flash unrooted KK ROM, then OTA. Or you can just flash a custom L ROM based on stock.

Rooting Options

Hello. I want to root my S6. It's firmware is 6.0.1. I hear there is an option that trips the KNOX on 6.0.1., so if I root it on 6.0.1., I want to make sure I do it absolutely correctly, so I don't mess anything up, because you know as well as me that if the KNOX is tripped and the phone is bricked, you're outa luck with Samsung. So is there a guide for any sort of newbies on how to do this?
Awhile back, I rooted it on 5.0.2., and wanted to update it, so I used Odin to restore my phone. I used pingpongroot, so the the KNOX was left intact. That said, does anyone know if I can downgrade to 5.0.2. and root without tripping the KNOX? Pretty sure I have old 5.0.2. files around from when I restored my phone the first time.

Also, does anyone know if a rooted phone with a tripped KNOX fetches less than a normal phone when you are selling it. I may sell this in the future, probably to Verizon. If I wipe and restore everything with Odin before selling, will they care about the voided warranty?

There is currently no way to root a Verizon s6 on version 6 and once on version 6 there's no way to downgrade to 5.0.2.

Oh gotcha! I was under the impression that there was a root available for the S6 6.0.1. Is Verizon not supported?

At this point I don't really care if I trip Knox or not. Just need the root. I've brought my phone back from many many soft bricks and a few hard bricks <not fun.

It is Verizon. They do not care about you.

I'm on 5.0.2. May I know which methods to use to root my G920V?

[Help] SM-G955U ATT (Unlocked)

Hi guys, i've been a guest for many years and always i was able to accomplish what i wanted thanks to all the good tutorials and the ROMs that you make and everything, thanks. But, today i'm out of luck and i hope that any of you can help me.
My Galaxy S8+ was on AT&T and i had to change carrier so i unlocked the phone. Right now i'm under MetroPCS but i find that i dont get more updates. I started to search how to get them and got in some threads were i learned to install stock ROMs with ADB but still without success. Actually, my phone right now is with an older version of software.
The android security patch that i had was from July, i have March 1, 2017.
I found the (supposed) OTA files but when i try to install i get error in the installation.
Someone can tell me the right way to make the firmware upgrade?
Android version 7.0 / Samsung experience version 8.1 / Android security patch level March 1, 2017 / Baseband Version G955USQU1AQC9.

I feel like c9 was a mistake or base FW i Also Have A Att S8+ Unlocked i remmember that when i bout it it updated just cant remmember to what but i Flashed The G955u DE Fw and it updates no problem
Maybe this thread can help u get the answer

Yes, this was the solution. I had to pay for a new AT&T prepaid simcard ($10 usd), activate the device online and then change the date a couple of times until i get the August update. Thank you.
