[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidian1441:
You could, but I don't recommend it. For one, we don't know when or even if the Odin image for the update will even be released. But if it does, it's gonna re-lock your bootloader (since you're running a custom kernel, I am assuming it is unlocked), and your phone may not be able to be re-unlocked again.

Once the update is out I'd wait until the devs get a hold of it and update the custom roms. With the new Samsung KNOX included in the update I'd say it might be a little bit of time before the roms are updated, but they will be. :)

[LG Optimus G (International)] serzh.ua:
please help. on my LG Optimus G e975 stopped working GPS. I initially thought that this due to custom firmware. but when I got back to the official firmware and it does not work ( I also edited gps.conf under my region, also tried various programs to find satellites-nothing helped. satellites no catches at all! maybe someone encountered this problem and can help will be very happy! Sorry for bad english (
[LG Optimus G (International)] Kur@:
Same problem on F180K, Tried different Stock roms and gps.conf, no effect.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
I'm 3rd.....same problems...no gps lock.Although in copilot live i get "GPS signal is found, determine the location" message,it get's stuck like this for ever.I tried anything i could think of,nothing worked. I guess i'll just send it to warranty.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Hmm... Interesting. Just out of the blue? What exact model is your phone? Looks like we already have reports on E975 and F180. I have strange things happening with my F180's GPS sometimes, like reported lock on a single satellite (physically impossible), but generally it works well (and I hope it keeps working)...

[LG Optimus G (International)] MitoTakatori:
What application are you using to check your GPS? I don't know if mine is working, on Maps, it detects where I am. And I also can locate it through Device Location Manager. Please clarify if what I am saying is related to this query. Thanks.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
There are some good apps that show you the detailed status of your GPS system, including the number of sats, A-GPS data availability, exact coordinates, positioning error, time to fix, etc. The one shown on the screenshot in Kur@'s post is GPS Status & Toolbox, I use it all the time. Another good one is AndroiTS GPS Test. Yet another is GPS Essentials. Just search on Play Store...
[LG Optimus G (International)] MitoTakatori:
Thank you.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
BTW, just out of curiocity... Since nothing seems to work, as you said, how long is "forever"? I mean, what is the longest time you left the phone waiting for a fix? Theoretically, a cold start of a GPS receiver can take up to 12-15 min (if I recall correctly) to the first fix, or even longer for some receivers that do a wide PRN search on cold start. So, I wonder what happens after leaving the phone's GPS waiting for about 20 min or so? I would think if it doesn't get a fix after that long, you can conclude it's most probably a receiver's problem. Just thinking out loud here...
[LG Optimus G (International)] MitoTakatori:
Installed the GPS test apps, AndroiTS GPS Test and it is really taking too long determining my GPS Status.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
I let it outside,for more than 30 minutes. My gf's arc made the cold lock in less than 1 minute. When i first got the phone,it made the cold lock in about 10 seconds. I was amazed. It was the fastest lock ever. I'll try the apps you mentioned. About google maps,it is irrelevant,because it's using data. I tried gps fix and gps status pro. Nothing worked. Again,on arc s it fixed in less than a minute. I'm starting to think it's hardware.

Sent from stock LG E975/smart phones,dumb people.
[LG Optimus G (International)] MitoTakatori:
I am also now worrying if it's with the hardware. Does that mean that most OG units have damaged/problematic GPS sensor? Is it software or really hardware related? I was at first confident that mine is working, since Maps can detect my location. :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Technically, in that time it should get a lock even if it really was a true cold start (no A-GPS data, no almanac, no ephemeris)... Did something happen around the time you lost the GPS? New ROM flash, possible physical damage, anything? I am not an expert in this by any means, just trying to apply some logic and common sense -- I am pretty sure you went through all that yourself... GPS on phones is weird sometimes. I had a couple of phones (Samsung i8000 and LG P990) that totally lost GPS lock with some particular ROMs, but went back to normal after flashing another ROM. I also had to reboot my SGS2 several times to get GPS locking again. And all the apps I know that are made to improve the time to fix are only changing GPS configs to set the NTP server and the Xtra server for A-GPS data, that's pretty much it...
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
I know ,and one of the best app is gps fix.

About the issue, don't know when it appeared. I even try to do a hard reset from hidden menu,nothing worked. all gps tests from the same hidden menu are negative. No phisical problems(never dropped the phone, it's well protected). I think monday i'll send it to warranty. If i'm lucky enough, i might get a G2 instead,because my carrier won't sell G no more :). It happened in the past, i have friend who got their galaxy s2 replaced with the S3 :). I think this is possible, because i payed the same amount of money for the G in march,at the same monthly fee(320 euros). So, wish me luck :).
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Yeah, I certainly do! :)

if I don't follow this exactly the wipe data deletes everything and I have to re flash.

Gotta say guys, I've had this phone for a few weeks and I really love it. The OS is so smooth on a dual core 1.5 ghz S4 chip. Everything opens fast and no lag... As far as the apps go? Yeah, it's lacking some apps in the market, but I have almost everything I need. Facebook (which is 100x better than the android version), Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, Feedly, Tumblr...Most developed by a 3rd party, and are typically better than the stock ones...Beautiful UI elements and scrolling smoothness that Android just couldn't provide for me....The only real thing it lacks are Google based apps...A little argument between MS and Google killed any kind of Google ecosystem.

[Moto X Q&A] MikeyNick:
All,

Has anyone on Verizon done the OTA update and kept root? From what I've been reading, sounds like if you rooted with MotoRoot then you're okay, but not if you used PwnMyMoto.

As far as people getting a bootloop, that does make some sense because the recovery partition is really just the boot image... So I can flash the stock recovery to the recovery partition before running the update, and that should theoretically prevent a bootloop. However, if this is going to erase my root, then I don't want to do the update.

So, has anyone on verizon done the OTA and kept their root? How did you do it?

The way that everyone (including myself) have been updating and keeping root on Verizon is as followed:

3. Download and install OTA

4. When the install completes, your phone will reboot a few times. This is just PwnMyMoto doing its magic.

5. Profit.

I searched around and can't really find an answer to that. I don't use SafeStrap so I have no idea. I'd assume you can try the method I posted and try using SafeStrap after. If that doesn't work then just RSD back to pre-update and hang on to SafeStrap until it's figured out. No guarantees if it'd work / break stuff, though. You'd be the guinea pig for that one.

[Moto X Q&A] will2live:
For sure have I just updated my Moto X the other day on VZW and kept root. Here is a link to the process on how to do it

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2466191
[Moto X Q&A] mercado79:
I think that's not up for debate. The issue is that even though you kept root, you're now blocked from using safestrap or ever gaining root again in the future (once another ota comes through). The update has now patched root going forward and it sounds like you won't be able to keep it after this update.
[Moto X Q&A] will2live:
Safestrap i know about and dont care about as i dont use it. As for moving forward with root I'll be surprised if that is the case but I wont disagree either. It is very possible they patch something to actually block root down the road. From my understanding tho currently the patch is blocking ppl to root the update not keeping root if the process is followed correctly. My guess is odds are it will be the same on the next OTA just like we had to do on the original Razr line to keep root until the bootloader was unlocked. However if the next OTA is 4.3 tha tcould all change for sure as anything is possible. Even so when that time comes I'll just unlock mine. I do have a Dev edition i just haven't unlocked with it being brand new and not wanting to void warranty yet to make sure hardware is cool but i do want root so i went the long route for now is all.
[Moto X Q&A] boardrx182:
So I installed PwnMyMoto, SuperSU and OTA Root Keeper, then decided not to root. I installed the Verizon update and boom, I'm rooted. Is that what you're saying is needed? I was surprised that root apps all work fine for me, I really didn't do anything but install those apks before I installed the camera update!
[Moto X Q&A] dymmeh:
As long as you had PwnMyMoto and never ran it / not rooted you were good to go. SuperSU could be installed before or after. I dont think OTA Root Keeper was needed at all. PwnMyMoto runs after a reboot so once you installed the OTA and rebooted it did its rooting magic automatically for you. Glad it all worked out for you :)
[Moto X Q&A] boardrx182:
That's awesome, didn't realize that would happen automatically. I completely expected that I'd have to complete the entire root process steps that were outlined in an earlier post if I wanted root. Thanks for the reply.
[Moto X Q&A] jayboyyyy:
people who have moto employee friends say they are moving to 4.3 next. Also, there may be a work around for you to keep root with the next release, but because people who aren't on dev phones that must be sure they can retain root would not have used this method (as it is a one chance type of method). so it is more likely that any new workarounds that people come up with will be for those that still have the ability to downgrade to original stock firmware. Also, SS is nice because it gives you the ability to run the phone just like you normally would but you can create complete backups of the device so you don't have to set everything up all over again if you screw something up with your phone. Even if you don't use SS for flashing roms it is still useful for back ups.
[Moto X Q&A] will2live:
I have my Moto contacts and yes they are moving to 4.3 next last i was told when I asked. As for downgrading stock software that isn't going to happen once updated as you can't go backwards. Moto devices have been that way going back to the original Droid Razr. Its few and far between where you could actually go backwards after an OTA. So unless you mean stock of the current build installed then ppl will have issues for sure. That said if ppl OTA and have root now but for whatever reason need to use the new fastboot file that was just posted they will in fact be SOL for gaining root. This is exactly why I refuse to buy consumer units from the carrier besides a few other reason I wont go into. My theory is simple we want to mess with device buy an unlockable one or be ready to suffer/wait for an exploit after an OTA hits.

As far as root moving forward what process you talking about tho? There is 2 ways to do it. The one posted right above your post in this thread, or the link I posted above. If the info in this thread was used yes there may be an issue because of the patch. However I will be very surprised to see ppl not be able to keep root if they updated using the process in the link I posted above. Besides having to fastboot the boot.img to recovery in that process its the same way original Droid Razr owners had to update to be able to keep root if there was no root process for the OTA being pushed. Moving forward my guess is there will be an issue once 4.3 hits tho. I'm not sure you will be able to use the old kernel from 4.2.2 to overwrite recovery and boot the 4.3 /system so you can restore root and pull the actual 4.3 boot.img so that can be used for the recovery highjack. Bottom line is only time will tell at this point as you never know what Moto/Google will do with the next update.

Agreed on SS for backups even if not flashing ROMs, but personally i just dont mess with my device enough to worry about a full back i guess. For apps/settings I just use MyBackup PRO. I've also have an app a buddy made that creates a full XML if i wanted to use it. In the old days I use to make alot of backups for ROM flashing when I used SS. Guess in my old age I've just got lazy and dont worry about it that much anymore. I really hose the device I'll just swap to one of my others til i get back to fixing the messed up one.
[Moto X Q&A] jayboyyyy:
3 ways to maintain root are the one in the thread, SS, and the one you posted. The one you posted actually allows you to flash the original stock firmware on the phone because the BL was never touched thus the security (keeping you from downgrading) was never installed. That was what I was referring to when I said those that must make sure they will retain root in the future would not have done the install pwnmymmoto without running then take ota then run pwnmymoto. As you said those people will be screwed if the next root requires you to flash back to original stock or use part of the pwnmymoto exploit that will only be accessible to those that got the OTA with SS or the link you posted. I don't toy with my phone as much as I used to especially this one, but bypasing exchange security is pretty essential for me. I don't want an encrypted device with mandatory pin. I never lose my phone and I would know within minutes of losing it if i ever did so I could shut it down remotely.

And I'm not sure about the new kernel situation either. This is why I wanted to make sure I could go back to original firmware as I see that being our best bet to retain root through 4.3, assuming jcase doesn't release another exploit for it to get some cash.
