Custom Recovery?
Any mods?
Unlocked bootloader?
You need
Stock rom (as it was out of the box)
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
Bootloader can stay unlocked and root is also not a problem
Its running stock rom, stock recovery, but unlocked bootloader and rooted.
I followed the guide here.
Still getting error.

Did u change anything to the rom, remove bloatware or something similar
Being rooted and the unlocked bootloader is not the problem
Ah ha, I did disable some bloatware. Is this whats causing problem?

For what ? Did u read what we are doing here ? Hboot is not important (certainly not in this case)
None of the bloatware is disabled nor removed, and I can be sure the stock rom hasn't been tempered with. Recovery is checked to be stock. Yet still no luck with ota.
Might have to use ruu after all.

Hi
I'd like ti root my phone and i saw few different ways such as "stump" and "purpledrake"
Which one is the better choice?
Thanks
Stump root, it's literally an app that you install, and click root

Is it also easy to unroot?
Thanks mate
Stump root (like cliff said) or towelroot.
Towelroot may not work on all models though. It did work on my D850 with firmware 10D.

Well, this is untethered root, so it doesn't have a root app, so I recommend installing supersu from the play store, and supersu has an option to unroot, but there is always the option to just flash back to stock using a tot file or kdz file and LG flash tool

Easiest way is to find out, if it's not compatible, it should tell you that it's not

Does flashing kdz file removes the root flag?? Also if I will "unlock bootloader" (TWRP/bump whatever...) is installing kdz file will make it all stock and undetectable?

Yes, it should do both of those things, I had to refresh to stock, and when I did, I had to resume as the recovery was overwriten
anyone else get the prompt to update the software? are you going to update?
Got it and did it 2 days ago
Same and same
probably too early to know, does anyone know if this update will affect root? coming from htc, i remember updates were frowned upon as they can make rooting more difficult.

Got phone few days ago and update popped up. I postponed it so its in my notification bar until someone confirms device can be rooted on update safely.
Sent from my SM-G920P using XDA Free mobile app
Now that I rooted my phone it will not let me update the phone.

below is the link I used. The battery drain is bad but manageable. I think it puts the wrong recovery on the phone, but it does root the phone. I was able to use titanium again :highfive:

Is it possible to upgrade to OE2 without losing root? Is there something I can flash or use Odin with?

I'm currently on BOJ1 and rooted. I want to update to the latest T800XXU1BOL1 and keep root. I have the BOL1 OTA zip. Can I just flash it with Flashfire?
Thanks in advance.
