Hi!
Has anyone installed the update OTA on a rooted g pad?
Is it safe to do it or it's not possible?
How can I install the update if I am rooted and keep my root?

I have seen people reporting problems in other threads here on XDA. Here in the US they haven't yet released the OTA update. If this is anything like my experience with my phone (a GS3). OTA update of a factory rom when rooted often does seem to cause problems. The only device I haven't had problems with taking an OTA when rooted were a Nexus device (Nexus 7) and something running CyanogenMod.

so I have to unroot it first, install update then root again?
I have a related question - how to unroot and install OTA??
I tried to install, but it didn´t work, tablet said there´s no OTA for rooted devices.
I unrooted using SuperSU, but the situation is still the same.

I used the LG Support Tool method which involves putting the tablet into download mode and doing the update recovery procedure in the LG Support Tool. This (after a long download process) should result in a tablet which is identical to what came in the box. (in the US the procedure currently installs 4.2.2). When it finished the download and install, it reboots the tablet, if you then are stuck in a boot loop, simply do the key combination for a factory reset and it then should boot.
The unroot procedure via SuperSU does seem to leave something behind that the OTA still detects...
If you need further details I have another post in one of these threads detailing exactly what I did...

That is what I plan on doing once the US version is released, however it is potentially a little more complicated since I have heard that LG has patched the LOKI vulnerability which means no custom roms or custom recovery until a new boot loader vulnerability is found, or until you revert to the original boot loader instead of the new one in the 4.4.2 release (if possible)...

Nah. You can bet that within 48 hours after the US version is released, there will be a flashable build available with root and recovery.

True, more than likely a flash-able version will exist once someone makes it.
It already has a work around for loki by reinstalling the old aboot

I upgraded Via OTA my rooted lgpad and when it rebooted... stuck in recovery.
So i had to flash with lg tool.
I did not lose any data but a bit of time.
My suggestion is to flash with lg tool and then root again.

I think the issue with this procedure is the recovery / bootloader, not the rooting itself. Still, you will most likely end with an unbootable OS. You are better off flashing via recovery a perfectly stock, pre-rooted image, like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707363

When you use the lg tool (pc software) did it automatically download the kitkat update?
Did you encounter any issue when you used lg tool?

So you did NOT unroot first?
Steps you did were: (with rooted only g pad)
Update via pc lg tool
Root using IOROOT25.zip method
This correct?

I had to click on "recover" Something sorry I have no my PC now.. I left it at work. But I think you'll find.
U got some option and considering lgpad did not boot after update.. I had only one.
It's the procedure that you got to follow after you set gpad in download mode.
No issue at all, just one thing: after rooting you will have to flash a custom recovery if you need, because flashing with lg, flash even lg stock recovery.

No I did not unroot.. But only because I did not think about it. And that's the reason why gpad was not able to boot to system and I had to flash it via lg software.
I set gpad in download mode,,then flash via lg software, root with ioroot and finally flashed with flashify custom recovery
Hope to have helped guys
Now I'll go to sleep!

I updated to version 4.4.2 Via OTA my rooted gpad and not had any problems
Steps:
1- factory reset
2- update via OTA
Attention: I think the rom has to be original (no eliminated sys apps with titanium or other) because it goes check the integrity of the rom (4.2.2)
------------------------------------------------------------ Edit --------------------------------------------------------------------------
3- Rooted with IOroot25
I've done an OTA update on my rooted G Pad, no issues either. I didn't do a factory reset, just did the update.
I updated my rooted v500 2 days ago using LGs PC software. The process took around 45 minutes and resulted in a successful KitKat update, however I no longer have root. I have a few strange issues with random unmounting of the SD card, which happened about 4 times while Play Music was copying 2gig of on device songs to it. I also seem to have lost quiet mode - maybe it's been moved out of the sound settings menu - would appreciate a comment if anyone knows where it is.

I was wondering if you can root with TWRP by installing the recovery with odin and then flashing the supersu.zip to get root with twrp? Wouldnt that be the same as using cfautoroot as it installs a custom recovery to gain root. This could be an alternative if cfautoroot fails for some. I saw in the thread that twrp also works on the 805 and the 705 models of the tab s. Will TWRP also work on devices with unlocked bootloaders such as the 807 or somesort models? I was wondering this to see if people can get root on those lte models since theres no cfautoroot for them and use twrp to flash supersu and gain root. As this is an suggestion can someone help answer these questions? Thanks!

I haven't tried to root this tablet via TWRP but my last couple attempts at rooting Android 4.2+ devices via TWRP have been unsuccessful - I think it's a SELinux thing. Perhaps flashing a permissive kernel first might work?

I was thinking that if cfautoroot flashes root and installs supersu, shouldnt it be the same as flashing it with twrp? Cause the supersu. Zip is an autoinstaller in which i just flashed onto cm11 today. I thought if you have access to the recovery, it can change files and flash the root.

I do not know if it would work with the 807, but this method certainly works with the 805: that's how I rooted mine.
Flashed TWRP with odin then rebooted in recovery and flashed latest supersu update.
Obviously flashing TWRP trips Knox too...

This is how I rooted
I followed this guide to install a rom on my device as well as rooting it.

Just wondering if it's safe to upgrade to the new oxygen OS update on a rooted op3. I know you can't upgrade from marshmallow to nougat but a smaller OS update is OK?
Sure, you can update it. But keep in mind that you'll lose root, so you'll have to flash SuperSU (or whatever you're using) again.

Cool it won't brick my phone or anything? I want to download the beta so I can just install it and the re root my phone? Sorry new to all this.
Yes, you can safely update to beta. Just make sure you have modified TWRP 3.0.2-22 before flashing. Official TWRP 3.0.2-1 doesn't play nicely with new firmware in community builds.
So:
1. Flash TWRP 3.0.2-22
2. Upgrade ROM
3. Flash SuperSU
4. Done 🙂

Nope, and even when it's bricked it's fixable.
Thanks. I bricked my oneplus last week and it was so stressful getting it unbricked so just a little nervous .
Also if you're unencrypted (like me), oos will require SuperSU to even boot
I neglected my phone for a while because it seemed like I was updating all the time. Now i am not sure of the best way to get current. I am currently on version 7.1.2. any advice? Thanks in advance
You should be able to flash the 8.0.0 OTA and then I'd flash the latest security update. Flashfire should work fine if you're rooted

The thing I am looking at says
"1. You'll need bootloader, radio and vendor images from latest Google OTA ( Current: OPR4.170623.006 )"
How do I get this? I already had it rooted and twrp installed.

If you are already rooted I would recommend checking out this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206930. Scroll down to the section labeled "9. How To Update To A New Build Of The Stock ROM".
The stock nexus images can be downloaded from https://developers.google.com/android/images.
After flashing you would have to root again using your preferred method. I haven't had any problems rooting with Magisk.
You'll have to reinstall twrp and any system mods you've previously installed when flashing this way though.
Hey, this worked perfect. Thank you.
I installed groovy 7.1.2 rom for my asus z551ml everything went perfect expect it was not rooted

How did you root. All you should need to do is flash the correct su or Magisk zip file. (They are available in the first post of the groovy rom thread)

Have you flashed the Boot Image Signature Patcher? You can find it in the Android Development section.
