I've done it and it works. I was on C stock ROM, was just rooted with twrp and xposed. I flashed the stock rooted odexed M ROM from Zone's thread with only wiping dalvik and system, no user data, and all was well. Also had to flash the M radio with flashify. But all was well with no reset or anything needed.

Edit:

I should add that all my apps and root stuff was in tact too, xposed and all.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Zachary droid:
I just got it done, using the LG flash tool, and the kdz file, everything Is good, ima stay unrooted for the time being
[T-Mobile LG G3] grayfoxmg1:
I'm just sitting here waiting for skydragon M Rom. As far as I can tell, if we aren't running M Rom we aren't missing much. So I am content to wait for the rom I want to use to get the M update.
[T-Mobile LG G3] 20hall:
I am on 10c right now, once rooted but unrooted to trying to get the 10m upgrade. I removed some of T-mobile's apps and that's it.

However, although the upgrade will show up on my phone, when I tried to restart and install it, it will enter recovery for one second and then reboots again without installing anything.

When I tried to use the LG flash tool and the kdz file, I am having all sorts of errors. I tried ignoring the errors and let my phone sit there for like 10 min for each error before dismissing them but still got no luck (someone in the flashing guide thread suggested that). I am on Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit and Windows 7 Professional 32bit.

When I tried to use LG PC Suite to check updates for my phone, it will return the message "Cannot run upgrade. Check phone status and retry".

What can I do to upgrade besides installing custom recovery? :(
[T-Mobile LG G3] 20degrees:
Check the "return to stock" thread. Use that method, then get the update and root again.

[T-Mobile LG G3] Gam3r 4 Life:
Just want to relay this just in case others dont know. I used this method to get the update without losing any data, etc. Credit to "AndroidUzer" for the instructions, "paoloroeseke" for the dropbox downloadable update file to put in cache in case you dont have it. And Thanks to Autoprime for the stock boot.img and recovery.img' I take no credit for this other than gathering the info for this post.

When I did this for some reason the update wasnt in the cache folder even though it said it was so I got it from here. Then placed it in cache.

Then I got the stock boot and recovery here. Thanks to Autoprime

Then I followed these steps from this post here. Thanks to AndroidUzer.

Made sure all factory apps were present and or defrosted.

Restored the factory recovery and factory boot image (thanks autoprime) with Flashify.

Then I restored "b1847cae892006ffa11c6822a408fe8528142a54.D85110c_ 00-D85110m_00_update.zip" to the Cache folder.

Re-Enabled OTA using dialer code for hidden menu.

Opened Settings > About phone > Update Center > System updates and was met with the Android System Update screen showing the update "Downloaded and verified 154.6MB", hit the "Restart & install" button and it rebooted to factory recovery installed the update without issue.

No data was lost, No reflashing factory "c" image wiping all your data and having to upgrade from there.

Then for reroot I used the bat script method from Purple Drake here. It hung up the first time so I just closed the window and tried it again with no issues. Then flashed the current TWRP img and was good to go again.

Hope this helps others to get the update.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Zachary droid:
I can say that this update to 10m makes the screen alot better and more clear, and the lockscreen is different, i cant add widgets by long pressing anymore, unless theres another way to do it
[T-Mobile LG G3] fix-this!:
Ive decided to exchange my new g3 for a m8 tomorrow. The phone even with the new update is troubling for me. Lag, overheats, random reboots, bad battery life. Held this thing up to my old g2 "gave to the wife" and the g2 ran circles around it. Really sad if you ask me.
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevessvt:
If anybody was wondering, I was messing with my phone and decided to use the KDZ to reinstall 'M', when done I started to get some F/C in settings. So I used the 'C' KDZ and it worked fine. So you can revert to 'C' with no problems if its ever needed.
[T-Mobile LG G3] benjihana:
Trying to figure out my best route from TWRP rooted to the new OTA TWRP rooted.

Terminal recovery replacement, OTA install, PurpleDrake, rock and roll?

Trying to avoid data loss.

Willing to to write a detailed guide once figured out, seems to be about 100 different threads.
[T-Mobile LG G3] brolic925t:
Flash the stock zip in zoneroms op. Same ****
[T-Mobile LG G3] wha2do:
Thanks for this...was straightforward.

Only thing I noticed was TB didn't show root after the update, which made sense. Rerunning Purpledrake to re-root I ran up to the point of starting to perma root. The windows command window closed quickly. It didn't give me the option of rooting with a modded boot image or not (going from memory when I ran it for v10c)...

Tried one more time with same results, pulled my battery, and found it had successfully rerooted.

Not sure what happened but in the end all was good. Reflashed TWRP and it appears I'm good to go :D
[T-Mobile LG G3] benjihana:
Had the same happen to me. I have a pretty tight-fitting case, and I hate to take it off, so when Purpledrake closed out, I just went and did an adb reboot from my laptop. Booted, had root (SuperSU still installed), had to reinstall xposed framework, but otherwise all else is good. I am running the update, fully rooted, without having to wipe.

1) Flashed stock boot/recovery.

2) Put update into cache folder.

3) Ran update from settings/about menu (it didn't auto-reboot, initiated it then manually reboot and update took over)

4) Successful update, ran PurpleDrake, then adb rebooted after command prompt window closed (or battery pull)

5) Re-installed xposed framework/checked SuperSU and all rooted programs.

6) Even used Flashify to update TWRP to latest binary and nandroided.

All smooth(ish)...
[T-Mobile LG G3] Ready2Mosh:
I used the LG update tool referenced earlier in the post and I didn't lose anything, just made sure to remove my SD card and reflashed with purple Drake, everything's peachy here.
[T-Mobile LG G3] wha2do:
Good synopsis and thanks for the confirmation I wasn't losing my mind w/Purpledrake. And guess I was tired when doing it. You're right, I could've just done an adb reboot, lol!

After posting my message, I was wondering what the OTA did and didn't update. I realized the keyboard was back to the stock LG keyboard . I think that was just the service was turned off on Swiftkey...

I also expected to have to re-edit the platform.xml file under /system/etc/permissions to regain full write access to my sdcard. Curiously enough, my edited file was still intact.

So apparently only specific system files were updated (and makes sense given the size of the OTA).
[T-Mobile LG G3] Zachary droid:
Its safe to say for me, that im guna stay unrooted for awhile, just until a new update, or android L or 4.4.4, whatever it may be, just so i dnt have to go back thru all that haha, but it is fun and u learn alot from it
[T-Mobile LG G3] Gam3r 4 Life:
Glad you figured it out. I didnt have any issues rerooting with Purple Drake. But I used the bat file method from here. It hung up the first time so I just closed out the window and ran it again with no issues. Then I flashed the new TWRP.img and was good to go. I have updated the other post with the reroot info as well.
[T-Mobile LG G3] wha2do:
Again your post was much appreciated...it provided a clear method to get to v10m without having to wipe! To clarify for others, I ran the Full rather than Lite version of PurpleDrake. It did ask if I wanted to proceed with permaroot and I hit enter. The command prompt closed soon after, but it must have done what it needed to re-root.

And I hadn't even thought about trying the Lite version!
[T-Mobile LG G3] dems86:
Didn't mind starting fresh since I have everything backed up on SD Card with TiBu. I pulled it out first though just in case. I was rooted with TWRP and primes security free boot.

Used LG Flash Tool to flash 10m kdz. That went without a hitch. Next I used purpledrake, and since I had read about it closing out after permaroot I just went ahead and rebooted the phone, downloaded SuperSU and Flashify. Got root and flashed latest TWRP and everything back to normal.

If you are rooted with TWRP and don't mind losing data or have it backed up in TiBu or elsewhere, this way is extremely easy and really fast.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ohemetophobia:
The volume rocker is easier, just because you can do it even if the screen is off. With the lockscreen slider, you'd at least have to wake the screen, adding one step.
[T-Mobile LG G3] grayfoxmg1:
Agreed that's why I love the fact you can enter your knock code workout waking the device, it should a step and makes everything that much faster.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mgbotoe:
Obviously, but why is it still silly to have it there? If your phone happen to be awake for any odd reason, slide away you go. Nothing wrong with multi options

What is silly though is this discussion lol Grand scheme of things, its 0.0009% relevant
[T-Mobile LG G3] grayfoxmg1:
So I just followed Gam3r 4 Life's instructions, and it didn't work.

I was able to flash the root and recovery with flashify

transferred the update to /cache

re-enabled OTA's in the hidden menu

had the update verified by system settings->general->about phone->update

I hit install

update seemed to install(I got an image of an android with that spinning outline thing in his stomach and a loading bar)

but upon rebooting is I go to system settings -> software info it still says i'm on 10c. I also didn't loose root or xposed.

---------- Post added at 01:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 AM ----------

One more thing, I went back into the secret menu and found that it had flagged the LG RCT. So i just ran PD again hoping it would remove the flag, it didn't. I now have twrp and the PD boot.img but my root check has been triggered :/
[T-Mobile LG G3] misterpsych:
need to re root!

Hello every1! So I have a G3 US TMobile. Rooted vía Stump and last night downloaded the tmobile update so yes I lost root. How safe is it using purple drake lite to re root this baby? I keep reading people are having boot loops if they use recovery? Is there a purple drake method without having recovery? I just want a simple root.

Please help! :(
[T-Mobile LG G3] papelet:
I'm also on tmobile and I was also rooted with stump. I was worried about PD and the whole recovery thing, I don't flash roms or do any of the fun stuff must guys be doing here. anyway I did root again with PD lite since I'm not interested in any other additions the pro can offer.

Its very simple! I spent more time reading the instructions than PD giving me root access! And this is from the guy that not long ago thought HTML was short for Hotmail :D

[T-Mobile LG G3] behappy:
PurpleDrake will root the D851 just fine on 10m and 10c. The only problems I encountered was that the phone got stuck after the permaroot was applied. You simply have to pull the battery and reboot (I waited 5min just to be sure). As with everything though -YMMV.

TWRP had to be installed using the TWRP manager from the play store. After that, I was good to go.
[T-Mobile LG G3] papelet:
I rooted just fine without any problems and since I didn't wanted twrp I did it with PDlite
[T-Mobile LG G3] rectifiercc:
Same thing happened to me. I tried to do the whole process again but the update center said i'm up to date. I still have root but my keyboard and messaging app changed back to stock. Software version says 10c.

Hi , Thanks I think / assume this is working, and rooting my phone again. In the event i get stuck in an infinite boot loop of the custom recovery rom, (TWRP in my case) , I hope this can work ?

lolipop

Well according to some people here http://m.androidcentral.com/lollipop-update-available-lg-g3-through-lg-mobile-support-tool they have been upgraded to lollipop using the LG support tool, the problem is the update only seems to be for the metallic black version not the white so I was unable to try.

that could be the reason why mine didn't work via support tool, I did mine manually

[T-Mobile LG G3] johnny quest:
One can only wonder about the new update. Is it really worth it? I mean, of course I like updates but this is the most boring update of all time. Nothing really new. There's no "fireworks" that make you say "Wow". Since having the Jump option with t-mobile I'm taking a break from Android until the new OS comes out. I'll be back soon when something really comes out. Sorry. I'm not a hater.

Mine says its downloaded and i should touch to install..... Im afraid to even reboot the phone. Is there anyway to just make it go away? Lol
[T-Mobile LG G3] Gam3r 4 Life:
I also installed it and now am boot looping TWRP. I tried to restore a previous back up. Still looping. Ill try one of the methods others have suggested. Hopefully someone can figure it out. If I figure out how to stop it looping Ill post back what worked for me.

OK. Well now Im scared. I cant use the full return to stock method because I cant get into download mode. And I cant use adb fota because I dont have adb access. And I tried this in TWRP terminal command and the command went through, but I am still bootlooping. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

Read below for fix. Post #27
[T-Mobile LG G3] zcgofaster:
Well, i restored a previous nand backup and turned wifi off so it won't auto download the ota. That will at least keep the notification off so i don't accidentally touch it until we can figure out what to do.

Location of Update

Does anyone know where the update is stored on the phone so we can physically delete it just in case we accidentally hit the install button (great for my Wife....)
[T-Mobile LG G3] kscasper13:
back one page
[T-Mobile LG G3] lexiperplexi91:
Thanks, I was researching on Google and had the posting page open when that was originally typed..I appreciate it.

However, using ES File I can't find an Update.zip in /cache.

Edit: Perhaps disabling OTA via hidden menu after the fact deleted the update.zip? That's my only conclusion.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Gam3r 4 Life:
For anyone else that took the update and is boot looping WTRP heres the fix that worked for me.

then hit enter

type

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

then hit enter and reboot.

And then I used the method described by Autoprime to disable OTA updates in the hidden menu. Heres what I did.

1) Open Dialer and dial 3845#*851# for hidden menu.

2) wlan test > ota setting >Disable

3) Reboot

So far no new update message. Thanks Autoprime and Brentkhack

Shoudnt it be gone?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Derekwolfee:
Okay maybe this is a dumb question... Didn't there used to be an app called OTA root keeper? Is that still around or anything like it? I'm rooted but just for xposed, everything else is stock.. How can I take this OTA without breaking stuff?
[T-Mobile LG G3] CheesyNutz:
Did you reboot
[T-Mobile LG G3] InsaneJester17:
If anyone pulls the update, please post it. Hopefully a dev here will look into making a flashible update that won't break our root.
[T-Mobile LG G3] donutkidd:
I took the update hoping for VoLTE but sadly not the case. I've only noticed 4 things so far which are:

1. The camera slider/screen on the lockscreen

2. Even with auto rotation off the screen still flips around when in full-screen.

3. Transitions between screens and opening up the recent apps is a tad bit smoother.

4. Signal boost as well, before I had 4glte with 2-3 bars. Now I have all bars solid with no drops.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
For those that have to absolutely take the ota you could try flashing the original boot.img and recovery.img through flashify prior to ota. I don't have the original boot.img but I do the stock recovery if needed. I still wouldn't recommend ota updating. A safer way is through lg support tool. Ive used it to update every rooted LG Ive owned [lg ms770, 769, D801]....

[T-Mobile LG G3] autoprime:
can confirm bootloader is NOT locked in latest update(10M). it is SAFE to take OTA and still have unlocked bootloader.

looks like the unlocked bootloader was on purpose after all. was waiting for first OTA to make sure of such things... due to how strange the bootloader is on our device.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
Download and install it on your computer wait for it to open

Plug in phone

It might need to update drivers and will prompt you to select phone model and carrier.

Once drivers are install replug your phone in and the support tool will guide you the rest of the way.

This will overwrite your entire system boot.img, and recovery.img too, so you will lose root but no user data.

Lg support tool.

Nice! Now before I update I need to see if your tethering patch will still work.
[T-Mobile LG G3] preusstang:
Maybe its because you rebooted? Ive disabled OTAs (via your instructions in the PurpleDrake thread) immediately after rooting and installing recovery and that was over a month ago.

It looks like i wasnt very thorough with debloating though as i still have an "Update Center" in my app drawer. I will follow your instructions regarding deleting the OTA in cache and freezing the OTA app.
[T-Mobile LG G3] autoprime:
wouldn't be surprised if it didn't.. or if things broke after flashing it.

but.. I've looked over the ota and can confirm nothing in the update is trying to block what I'm doing.. so at the worst I make a new one for 10M.

If youre staying stock and it's confirmed the bootloader is still unlocked and recovery can be reinstalled then you should be able to root too using one of the two methods. So you shouldn't need a special update to keep root

How would I go about this? I thought people who installed the update were stuck in boot loops?
[T-Mobile LG G3] siraltus:
You update with the factory image using the LG Support Tool (linked earlier in the thread). Then you re-root. If you're on a custom ROM, of course, that will be gone.

Although the new 85110m software is not available via the LG Support Tool yet - it tells me 85110c is the latest.
[T-Mobile LG G3] tridogg97:
Does anyone need update.zip
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
They bootlooped because they took the update through the phone with custom recovery installed. Look a coupl of posts above I explain how you can update via pc. You'll need to reroot after and install mods again, but it's the safest way Ive found.
