If you have rooted 24A with a stock recovery, you can take the OTA and retain root..
Ok so I figured I'd ask here instead of making a new thread since it's sort of relevant. Hope not to thread jack. I have a vs980 rooted on 24a with stock rom and twrp. My phone tried to update to 25b yesterday and I canceled it by switching from WiFi to 4g. 2 questions I have are can I take the update and stay the same or not yet since I have twrp? And 2 it started downloading automatically, if I can't take the update is there a way to keep it from downloading again? Thanks in advance.

1) It won't install without the factory recovery.
2) You have to remove/disable/freeze the updater app to stop it from prompting you. (I don't remember the exact name of it)
So there really isn't any harm in letting it download since it won't install without factory recovery? I'll check the apps I have frozen again I thought I froze it, but maybe not. Thanks. Do you know if it's simply called system updates?
Software Update is the app name people are freezing using Titanium, don't know what the .apk is, I have a debloated rom currently. You should be able to find and rename the .apk for Software Update to stop it.
I've been using ultimate backup lite and I have a system update app I could freeze just wanted to make sure it was the right one. Tried to post a picture, but I don't have enough seniority.
is ioroot still the best rooting tool?
Also when I take 25 will I have to reinstall twrp?

Did you do this personally? I have stock rooted 24A now. I am using xposed and other root apps. Will the OTA effect any of that?

Hi,
I have a T-Mobile LG G Flex that used to be rooted and after android system update now it doesn't have root access. Here's the thing: I ran TowelRoot and it displayed the following message: "This device isn't supported". Afterwards I downloaded and installed StumpRoot and when I run the app it displays a message saying: "Device is rooted" but when I run the Root Checker app it tells me device has no root access.
Heres the Software Information from the device:
Android Version
4.4.2
Baseband Version
M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20064
Kernel Version
3.4.0
Build Number
KOT49I.D95920s
Software Version
D95920s
Can anyone point me towards a solution for this? I made a new thread regarding this matter because even though I've seen many people post similar situations they're for other type of devices. Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
I'd say you might have to grab the tot for the d959, flash back to stock and run the updates again, then use stump.

This always happens to me, I post a new thread and I get my questions answered once but after that no more help. Is this a forum rule?, do I need to help another user before receiving help again. I'd appreciate if someone could point me in the right track.

Get back to stock using tot file following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644083
A lot of peep have been posting that they're not able to root the latest update with the previous methods. And also T-Mobile doesn't use a tot file. Its .kdz. But not gonna work due to the latest update doesn't have download mode. So if you're on the latest, I suggest find a root method ( try stumproot, safe root, I/o root, vroot, towel root, hell id try anything. But that's me. I don't suggest shoot blind if you don't know what you're doing) then install freedom flex get a custom recovery then make a backup and flash d'fuse's rooted KitKat and disable ota's.

This is a gflex thread not s4
But for your phone
if you have a recovery installed(If you don't you can flash it with Odin google it)
Boot into recovery
Flash the su zip from chainfires website
Should fix your issue

"Flash It" or "Flashing" means to copy files to your device using an application such as ODIN.

Hi, so I am stuck without recovery or download mode. I know that the LG Mobile Support Tool should work but I tried it on two PCs and just as it finishes extracting the software after it downloads, the program runs into an error and closes. I am running D95920s like everyone else here. Just no luck. Any suggestions? I plugged in at 90% Not sure if im doing anything wrong.
Update: So the LG Mobile Tool has many security checks and it doesn't always allow for flashing. If anybody comes across this problem in the future. Refer to mattwheats instructions.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-flex/general/fyi-taking-ota-rooted-twrp-t2999344
It will force your phone to flash without download mode.

I currently have an LG-D415 running KitKat 4.4.2 that's rooted. I've never had a need to upgrade to Lollipop 5.0 until now. I just bought a new truck that has Android Auto which requires 5.0. My phone has been giving me a message that there's a system update available for quite a while now but I have been reluctant to do it because my phone is rooted and I'm not sure what would happen. Should I just let it do the update or do I need to unroot the phone first. It's been so long I'm not even sure what method I used to root the phone.
If you have rooted phone i recomend you installing latest twrp recovery and flashing lollipop ROM for lg l90d415. the stock ROM van ne found on t
his site
OTA update will fail if device is rooted. If you want to keep root enabled, then follow lgl90 suggestion. If you remove root to update it may work but you will have to root again. A backup is always a good move.
I'm kind of a novice at this so I'm looking for the most painless method of getting Lollipop. I'm not sure I'm comfortable installing twrp and flashing the rom. Also, I've read the bootloader needs to be unlocked which it isn't. Can I use SuperSu to unroot, let the OTA update do its thing and then reroot?
the bootloader is unlocke by deafult on lg l90d415 all you habe to do is download flashify app from play store download the latest twrp for d415 and wipe system,dalvikcache and cache the flash te lollipop stock tom by going to install and chouse the rom file where you have downloaded it inernal or external sd card and the swipe to flash the firsr boot will take maximaly 5-10 minuts .. lollipop is waaay diferent than the kitkat thats why will take to boot longer
So I unrooted the phone downloaded the OTA update and tried installing it. It made it halfway through then the phone restarted without completing the update. The phone is still at 4.4.2 and I no longer get any message to update. When I check for updates it thinks its up to date. When I tried manually updating using the LG Mobile Support Tool it initially said an update was available then changed to the phone is up to date. Why does it think the phone is up to date when obviously it's not?

HI i told you what is the best solution to update your phone.. you could successfuly hard brick your phone(why did it not update well you didnt had enough of battery life) do what i told you so the best solution is to download the official lollipop rom for lg l90 d415 its same stock rom from lg but it comes pre rooted and all of that good stuff

zagreb - as I stated I'm a novice so I chose the path that I thought would be the easiest. My phone was fully charged so I do not believe that was the reason for the update not completing. Is there a thread or link you know of that provides a step by step (from beginning to end) tutorial of what you're proposing. Thanks for your help.
hi,
I would love to root my sm-g800f.
Which guide should I follow?
Thanks
What ROM? You can try flashing the correct CF Auto Root for your phone model and Android version using Odin if it using the latest Lollipop.

I have to look, so, for 'CF Auto Root' for G800FXXU1BPC3 Lollipop MR1 and
Odin.
Odin goes on PC and
CF Auto Root goes on device.
Am I right?
Both files go on PC, you used Odin to flash CF Auto Root into mobile. Seek for the files in the official page:
https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
There are many videos on YouTube about it as most Samsung phones are rooted this way. Just make sure you use the correct file for your phone (G800F).
Backup everything you can first in case something goes wrong you may need to wipe mobile data and reflash stock ROM.
The other option is to use Odin to flash TWRP and then flash SuperSU zip from Chainfire. First, TWRP goes on PC then SuperSU Zip on phone, that you flash using TWRP. I am sure there are tutorials here about it, just pick TWRP for G800F, SuperSU is universal but some version may be needed according to your Android version. Can't help more because I have G800H and not rooted as Marshmallow was released for it and it has all I need. Good luck.

first way, I think, should be more simple.
How silly, I would root to change fonts on device.
And of course to free space, delete junkie and have control of my device.
Marshmallow is going to make me regret rooting?
You can change fonts using atock, no root needed. Also use Debloater to disable junk, no root needed either.
You can't use OTA to upgrade to MM when it arrives as it usually won't install or bootloops, so you will need to flash MM to go back to stock and upgrade then root again. Flashfire from Chainfire would be able to install OTAKU and keep root, but support to S5 mini is unkonwm, and no reports of success as far as I know.
Last but not least, flashing anything other than stock ROM through Odin will trip a Knox security counter and you'll lose warranty.

I don' t uderstand.
I'm stock. If I'll root I'll not be anymore stock.
If I don't root, will MM arrive OTA?

well update and rooted. only takes like 5 minutes or less.
you need lg drivers and minimal adb fastboot. if you already unlocked nootloader and rooted then.. just download KDZ 20r. flash it with LGUP. select refurbished after you select KDZ file close LGUP then open it and this time select refurbished .. start.
boot into fast boot .. send twrp .img install it from sd card permanently and you ar set.. then rooted .
