[Q] Latest Incremental Update LI3

Rooted, Stock, LG8
Started getting OTA notifications this morning. Rebooted into recovery and the notifications went away. Still on LG8. Am I missing anything substantial on LI3? Should I just wait for the official JB update? Thanks in advance.

Official JB release has yet to be officially announced with a date. So, I suggest you go ahead and update. At least you'll stop getting the notifications if you do.

Thanks for the reply, Naddict. Couple of questions:
-In order to update to LI3, is it as simple as going through the "System Update" utility in the settings?
-Is it safe to assume that once I update to LI3, I'll lose root?
-If so, how do I go about gaining root again? (It's been a while since I first rooted, so I'm unsure of the methods.)

yes you must be stock and have stock revocery and it will update no problem and yes you will lose root unless you use app like ota rootkeeper or just re root like you did the first time look at qbking77 video

Your thread is relevant to my question, so I'm hoping someone can help me, as well.
I'm new to android, and I've found that every time there is an OTA update, I cannot find ANY information on it. I received a notification to update today, as well, yet it doesn't tell me what changes will be made or what is being updated. Is this normal for android? I'm not exactly sure where to look for this information, since hitting "more info" tells me nothing.
Not trying to invade on your post, but I'm thinking you might know the answer to this.
Thanks!

OTA's are manufacturer specific. Sprint does provide information as to what the updates do for you. Just use the Internet machine and go to Sprint's website...

Hi Naddict. Thanks for humoring my "Hi. I'm super new and have stupid questions" status.
My "internet machine" (awesome) must be limited to banning all updated information. On the sprint blog for S3 updates the latest one is from 9/19 and I don't see any relevant information regarding an update from today. That's where my confusion lies.
My main issue is that I don't even know what to search for, as I don't receive any information regarding the update number/title/etc.
A popup just asking me to install a "system update" doesn't really do much for me. I'll keep looking. :good:
Take care,
Mike

Thank you very much. I saw the Samsung Galaxy SIII Software Updates post on the Sprint website but it shows a release date of 9/19, which was causing my confusion. I was looking for something from today specifically since this is the first time I had an update popup.
Have a good one.

No worries! I didn't take it as an insult. It's good to have people that joke around Nice to meet ya.

Well now I'm just lost.
I used Mobile ODIN to flash a stock recovery, then I tried to flash an LG8-L13 .zip I found on another forum. I got an installation error. I went back to CWM and tried the flash the update, same error. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Is there a file, or at least a link to an update .zip that works in CWM?
Edit: Just found and flashed two files through CWM. So far so good.
Here's the Link for the update:

BE ADVISED: More than likely if you are rooted and you go back to stock and flash this ROM, you will NOT be able to root right away, and Free Gee probably will not work, so if this is important to you. Do NOT flash this ROM OTA. wait till the dev's come up with a rooted version.

[Q] Questions on rooting and upgrading to Lollipop - AT&T D85010d

I've been reading and reading and I'm slowly learning more about rooting and so on, but I need some help understanding how to upgrade to Lollipop safely. I'm an ex-iPhone user, so please be gentle. Instead of asking a billion annoying questions throughout the forums, I thought it might help if I summarized my situation and asked my questions in a single thread. Hope this is an acceptable approach.
Below is info about my phone, software and what I've done so far root wise.
* I have an 32gb LG G3 with AT&T - I'm in the US.
* I'm running Android version 4.4.2
* Kernel version 3.4.0
* Build number KVT49L.D85010d
* Software version D85010d
* I rooted using 'towelroot'
* I installed 'Busybox', doing nothing more than just installing as instructed.
* I installed the 'Root Browser' and disabled all bloatware using a thread here on XDA (super improvement in performance overall afterward)
* I've installed and running 'Nova Launcher'. I've made various changes to the 'Look and Fee', eliminating all animation and other visual effects. (This too improved performance overall)
* I've converted the (This too improved performance overall)
* In 'Developer Options', I've set 'Window animation', 'Transition animation', and 'Animator during scale' to 'off' (This too improved performance overall)
* I've converted my runtime framework to 'ART'
* I have installed Greenfy, Advanced Task Manager & Clean Master to help with the obvious memory/space/task management.
* I have the paid version of Titanium Backup and I've backed up my apps, userdata, etc.
The performance and battery life of this phone has come a long way since making all of these changes. I'm very happy with it now.
So now Lollipop is coming soon or may be here already?
* When going into 'Settings' and 'Software Update', it says there is a new AT&T software update available. It's 163.MB in size. What is this?
Not sure, but I don't plan to find out
With all of the above said, my questions are:
* What guides or process should I follow to update to Lollipop?
* Will I lose everything?
* Is this recommended to update and start from new?
* Am I missing anything?
* Should I install anything else?
* Should I be concerned with 'bump', 'twrp' and these other common apps/tools?
Thanks in advance for helping me out. I just want to be sure I don't brick my phone. I'm a very technical and geeky dude and I feel I've gotten pretty far at this point by reading a lot, but the wealth of information, methods, etc. on upgrading/rooting have me a bit nervous to do anything further.
Thanks! :fingers-crossed:

Rule of thumb...
DONT UPDATE UNLESS YOU KNOW FOR A FACT THE UPDATE IS ROOTABLE.
I've seen one person say he was able to root again with purple drake on google+. That's it. One guy. That's suspect at the very least. The timing of this update is odd also. It could either be an update preparing for lollipop with various system optimizations or it could be "security enhancements" (Read: Patched root and bump exploits). I'm not taking the update. There's really no reason to. Even if it does have some updates that improve the device functionality it would be barely noticeable. In fact the only thing I would notice would be the aux cable bug. Even IF they fixed that it would still be fixed in lollipop and Dev skin1980 said lollipop patched root exploits so he released a patch to keep the rootable KitKat boot image. If you're happy with the device, wait. Once lollipop is released for d850 there will be a patched version released shortly after. If root is important to you (obviously it is if you're using greenify, TB etc) then wait. Rumor has it that the lollipop bootloader cannot be downgraded. You'd be boned if you did the ota.

Thanks, BreakingVZW. I suspected this. Thanks for confirming.
Question: Do I have everything I need to handle the Lollipop update/install when uploaded here on XDA?
Thanks again for taking the time to answer.

Once they release the rooted version of lollipop that is patched for bump all you need to do is flash it via twrp. You're good to go if you're rooted and have twrp.

Thanks! I've been dying to ask for a SITREP on 5.0 for 850, all the 855 threads are making me jealous. Beers to the first Dev to cook up a daily, stable version!

OK. Question about being rooted and 'bump'
Do I have to do anything right now like install twrp? What difference is that app compared to busybody? Not the same?
As for bumping, is this something I have to do or flash to enable? When should I do this?
Thanks again for answering all of my questions.

Twrp is custom recovery. Bump allows custom recovery to be flashed so we can flash roms. You'll need twrp if you want to flash rooted Lollipop

CURRENTLY, the only way to get TWRP onto an 850 is via flashing bump. Then flashing TWRP over stock recovery.

Ah ok.. Thanks for clarifying. I'm sure there is a thread or two around here that will help with this?

Would this be an appropriate method to restore to stock and prepare for the Lollipop update?
In another thread I saw someone say they used a combination of LG backup and titanium backup to restore.
Thoughts?

Quick Circle Case App Not Working in Xposed ROM
Hello,
I tried to install the Xposed version of this ROM twice and everything seems to work perfectly, but the quick circle app is not working (after I download and enable it from the play store). Your initial lollipop ROM has no issues with the quick circle case app and works right off the bat. I'm new to this, so I'm probably doing something simple that is wrong, but I can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,

The one bad thing is that quick circle does not work alongside xposed as of right now.

Stock ROM for Rogers / Bell wanted
Hi All,
Does anyone have Lollipop Stock Rom for D852 devices? I bought one unlocked D855 from ATT....rooted it and changed build version to D852 and flashed it with KitKat from Rogers stock rom (non-rooted). it works very well like a native D852 device...I use Rogers SIM. The reason I did this because AT&T Rom only came with imperial system and it didn't even offer option of changing from F to C for example.
Now Rogers/Bell releases Lollipop OTA updates, my device didn't receive update from either carrier. Can someone post a download link for D852 Lollipop stock rom from Rogers/Bell? I can't use rooted rom in this post b/c GOOD for Enterprise didn't like rooted rom.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!

Thank you for your quick reply, but unfortunately, when I used the Texdroider DPI app you suggested earlier to change the dpi to 640 it did not resolve the issue as I still can't get the circle app to work, I tried to uninstall and reinstall the quick circle app and rebooted, but to no avail.
I thought for sure this would fix my issue as it made sense to me, but no luck. Thanks for the amazing ROM anyway.
On a side note: is there a way for you to debloat your original Lollipop ROM so it is just like the one running Xposed?

Good point, The reason why my Xposed version is the way it is, that was the way I used it. dont have a flip cover case so took that out. I used third party apps for clock. messenger etc. I can have a bloated Xposed for sure when I get the chance. With that said. I believe one of your issues was the app didnt play nice with Xposed framework. keeps forceclosing.

Thanks my friend. it works very well....look forward to next Lollipop update on D852.
Here are the steps to upgrade stock KitKat to stock Lollipop on Bell/Rogers D852 devices. It doesn't wipe the data and will do in-place upgrade (like OTA update).
1) download Bell's D85220C.KDZ ROM from here. using the link from the previous post.
2) follow instructions in this page, download LG Flash Tool 2014, then refer to the screen shots to flash your D852 to stock Lollipop ROM.
after the update, all works well, except the screen seems a little bit lagging...

New VZW LG G4... if i take the system update can I root later?

Just got a couple of LG G4's on VZW and of course out of the box it has a 'System Update Ready to Install' message. Currently they're running 5.1 and everything feels fine. What version is this update & does a root exist for it currently should I decide to root in the not-too-distant future?? I'd like to uninstall the bloat but so far I don't have a pressing issue to root other than that so it's not a pressing issue currently. Is there a way I can see what update it's trying to push so that I may search for a changelog to see if there's any changes I would benefit from?
Thanks for the help!
I'm sure this is the wrong section because this forum is a mystery to me in that way and they seem to intentionally make it confusing to find forums, subforums and then know which your post belongs in so if someone is offended by my posting this here and has the power feel free to relocate it to a less offensive area.
