Everything is subject to change, but until I see someone positively reporting otherwise, that's the common answer. Note that the question refers to UPDATING and not a complete reflash (via .tot and flash tools.) If you know of a repeatable way to have the update pushed to a D800 device that's not using AT&T, please provide clear repeatable details and I'll be happy to update the FAQ. (In fact, I'd be THRILLED to update it, as I hate telling people that there's something they can't do.)

I've also been sent some information this afternoon that might dramatically change many of the answers in that FAQ - but until it's been tested and confirmed in our particular situation (AT&T firmware, etc), I won't change the FAQ for it.

I also called AT&T to ask for the updates (10q and 20c firmwares) pushed to me (I was at 10o). The first agent didn't help me and told me to wait a few days. I called again. The 2nd agent was helpful. He didn't sound familiar with the process but he was eager to help. He pushed the updates to me. The first update (10q) came. After phone rebooted itself, I looked at the software version number and it was 10q. I tapped Software Update, the entry becamse Continue Software Update. I tapped on it, it says "Communication in progress". I let it carry on. Then I got the software upgrade notification on the status bar. I tapped it and tapped "yes" to take it. I'm now at 20c, KitKat 4.4.2. Happy.
[AT&T LG G2] spdwiz18:
so here is my question, LOKI, is just for changing kernels, you should be able to flash a system file with out a problem, atleast it was on the sgs4. though like someone said things can change and do very quickly, i for one dont do anything with kernels, so there for could we not get a recovery, just to mess with the system, please feel free to correct me if im wrong
[AT&T LG G2] garyd9:
You are correct, and incorrect. ;)

The "recovery" image is pretty much the same as the "boot" (kernel) image as far as the boot loader is concerned. Both normally have their signature checked by the bootloader, so the loki exploit is used for both of them.

Therefore, if we can't use loki (or some other exploit) to get passed the bootloader's signature checking, we can't use custom "normal boot kernel" images or custom "recovery boot" images. (Yes, a recovery has it's own private kernel.)

(I'm very tired right now, so I hope that my answer made sense...)

so somehow this guy made a sort of custom rom for the t mobile version with root. im guessing this can help us get root on this atnt version ? cant we use a similar method

? the custom recovery is lost after the rom is flashed so the root zip needs to be flashed directly after the roms zip (im a d802 user , just looking at the progress people have with rooting the 4.4stock rom)
[AT&T LG G2] garyd9:
Yep... basically, he has a way to install the parts of the kdz file via recovery. However, gaining root is the least of my concerns right now. I (and nearly everyone else) can already "gain" root by having it before taking the kitkat upgrade.

What I've been fighting with for the past several hours is a way to have the newer firmware on the older (and exploitable) bootloader. That would give us a recovery that would stay intact after installing.

Sadly, for some reason, I seem to be having a hell of a time compiling a working kernel. I've actually reverted my device clear back to D80010d with TWRP, and I can't get the f'ing kernel source working. dtb stuff is patched, compiling, making the ramdisk (using the ramdisk from the stock boot image, actually), loki patching, loki flashing, and stuck at the LG splash screen. It's really starting to PISS ME OFF. I've been compiling android kernels for years and for some reason this ONE is not working for me.
[AT&T LG G2] shriom_manerker:
Wow thats actually pretty good progress considering the rom was released just a few days back,infact seems like your really close to get it working, how about uart? It usually throws a hell lot of logs out during boot right?.im fairly new to this device (got about a month back),ill keep sniffing around terying to find as much info as i can. Good luck with the project man :) your almost there

oh and just FYI kitkat started rolling out to the D802 int version

Remove root?

I went through the whole process as described and maintained root with 20C. One thing I found out is that Google Wallet now works on the new image for Tap and Pay...unless you are rooted. Is there a way to remove root and go back to the stock 20C without root?

I suspect I would have to go back and start over again.

Thanks!
[AT&T LG G2] spdwiz18:
The easy way would be to use the lgflashtool to flash 20c. To manually unroot is a bit more tedious. There is a log in the /persist that would need to be deleted, I saw the script that ran to get that info some where, not sure if there is another. then delete su from /system/xbin and then delete supersu from /system/app or data/app depending on where it got put.

Hope it helps. I would use the flash tool to make sure I got it though.

update error stock rooted

I am on stock rooted with stock recovery. After the download, the phone continue to update on reboot but I get an error that stated that my device cannot be updated due to the suspected rooted device. My phone booted back up fine with the q version. I know others here have reported updating fine with root. I had xposed framework install. Could this be the cause that the update failed? I checked the files and saw there is a firmware folder that contains all the images downloaded. I want to uinstall the xposed framework and try again. Does anyone know if I can manually retry the update with the firmware that is already downloaded? When I went back to software update, I get the message saying my phone is already updated and to try again later. Thanks.
[AT&T LG G2] spdwiz18:
so next question, and sorry if this seem newbish, but if one does not ask, one does not learn. what if you don't upgrade the bootloader? then loki should still work? with everything you got pulled, we would be able to build a flashable zip with everything except the bootloader. it was easier in the sgs4, the ota came as a zip, not the file it comes as now. I remember editing the updater_script to take out certain things to update the sgs4.

i have the feeling that you are going to tell me that wont work because recovery can't loki the new kernel that you are having trouble with, even though the the bootloader still has the exploit.

sorry, if this is tedious for you, i use to be a sammy fan till i got this phone. I love it, and will not go back to sammy, so i'm trying to learn it. thanks for your help and hard work
[AT&T LG G2] garyd9:
Those are two different questions. Is there a way to remove root? Yes, from within the root controlling program itself (supersu.) Is there a way to go back to stock 20c without root? Yes... restore to stock. There are threads all over about it.
[AT&T LG G2] garyd9:
Read the first post of this thread again. This question has been answered. (If I answer it again, then no one else will bother spending 15 seconds to read that first post... and I really don't want to shoot myself in the foot anymore today.)
[AT&T LG G2] garyd9:
That's why I'm back on 80010d right now... If you read the fairly long threads about the AT&T kitkat update, you'll see that I'm pursing this very concept.

We already know that the newer boot image from 80020c won't work with the older boot loader, however. So, the next step is to work around that...
[AT&T LG G2] garyd9:
Oh, and it should be fairly simple using the tot file extractor posted elsewhere in the G2 forums to extract the system partition (and other partitions) from the 20c .tot file, mount it on a linux machine, inject root into it, save it, and make it part of an update.zip that pushes all the 20c partitions. Something similar was already done for the TMO kdz file.

However, that forfeits recovery... which isn't ideal.
[AT&T LG G2] spdwiz18:
I'm just trying to help,not be a hindrance. Sometimes 2 heads are better then one. I have read the thread and must have misunderstood. Sorry. I'll leave you to it.
[AT&T LG G2] garyd9:
lol. I must be cursed... even when I'm trying to be explain things, I still manage to come off as being abrasive. I was just too lazy to type out the details of what I'm doing... mostly because it isn't working out when it should.
[AT&T LG G2] caxiem:
Thanks. I've read the first post at least twice before posting this. I know my options are to restore stock to d, ioroot (do no other mods) and update. That's the root method that I used the first time. I was thinking more about a way to boot to stock recovery and apply the update (that's already downloaded) manually but I guess there's no way to do that.

It's cool, I understand frustration. If you need anything just holler. I'm working on trying to get three dlpkgfile open..
[AT&T LG G2] danaconda_:

I have downloaded and installed these tasker profiles and followed all the stop instructions and it seems to be giving me some problems with my Wi-Fi.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1031743

Following installing and activating these profiles my Wi-Fi will connect to my home network, and 2 seconds later disconnect. If I try to manually reconnect it flashes "failed to connect to network"

The only solution that works is to reboot the phone.

Secondly, the auto WiFi off will disable my Wi-Fi when my phone screen is off as this will disconnect from Wi-Fi. I assume to conserve battery. Can I prevent this?

And finally with regards to how android syncs, if my phone is off but I'm at home and so on my hope Wi-Fi, will I use my Wi-Fi to sync, even though it's `off` -or will it use mobile data?

this is how a defective LCD unit looks like. You have a bunch of dead pixels there. This is happening with some screens if you put pressure on them, sometime by shock and some other times they just die. You need to seek a replacement because that problem will not go away.

I had a phone with exactly the same problem and the only cure was to replace the screen. In this case, you need to replace the watch.

No bugs that I have noticed. I'm on 5-3 nightly. Everything seems to work great. However I do notice a slight hiccup with the in-call volume. When you raise the volume of the call you gotta lower it slightly then raise it back up to get max volume. This has to be done for each phone call because the in-call volume isn't quite loud enough in my opinion. This is definitely a 100% daily use rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Currykun:
Awesome. I'm looking forward to trying this ROM out then. The in-call volume bug has been present in CM builds as well until about a month ago, so I'm not surprised by that. The fact that everything else is working makes me very excited to flash this. Thanks for the information.
