On LP stump says the device is already rooted. The su binary is there, but supersu doesn't see it.

What if we update on 27a a working LP version su and supersu/user to suvive the ota. Or flash custom recovery in 27a, flash root that is LP compatible, then flash back stock recovery and then do LP ota.

It could be a while b4 we see a LP 39a kdz.

My su survived the OTA. It was/is in system. But the SuperSU app force closes and trying to change permissions in root explorer fails, saying I'm not rooted.

Just pull from the most updated zip from chainfire http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip?retrieve_file=1 and then download the apk from play and move to system (and change permissions) right before you update to lollipop.
[G2 General] bouchigo:
You don't need supersu to be rooted, as long as su is there and setup properly. Have you ever just .kdz'd to 27A, and run stump root, and not installed supersu (either from the Play Store or chianfire's zip)? If you do that, you will see that you are rooted, and su works just fine without supersu installed.

Is there a specific su for LP? I would be willing to give that a try.

Could the issue be with supersu? I know there were some changes that caused supersu to not work in Lollipop. Maybe a su binary that doesn't even need a superuser app might still work

I'll put the link on a couple minutes, it's 106 mb so it'll take a little to Finish uploading, for now I gotta do some studying :(

I think it's su itself. I flashed the su from cm12 using twrp on 28A, and my root broke. I then flashed su (from stump root) back to 28A using twrp, and my root was restored (all the while no supersu apk installed).

Shouldn't make a difference. The OTAs were pulled from Verizon's servers not LG's. LG just needs IMEI to determine the model of your phone to find compatible firmware.

[G2 General] xdabbeb:
The binary should work just fine as the abi is unchanged, and I doubt LG/Verizon is actually removing any files in the OTA process. The problem is that SELinux is fully implemented in L, so the options are either a modified policy/enforcement (ramdisk), or jacking app_process. We can't sneak the app_process in or the OTA will fail, and we can't modify a ramdisk until we a) have access to it and b) can change the BL as I imagine they've patched for bump as well.

I've got a couple of things to try when I get the free time, but they're both are predicated on the ability of running under u:r:system_app:s0 or u:r:system_server:s0 and having access to certain things that we did in KK. I have no idea whether or not it will work on this fw.

For those putting SuperSU in the system partition via flashing it, you should keep in mind the new directory structure for system apps in L.
[G2 General] abdel12345:
Your welcome, it was no problem only took a couple minutes. LG really did a great job with this update. Once it can be rooted so i can remove all the Verizon bloat and hide the unknown sim in the status bar ( because I'm using gsm carrier on Verizon phone ) it'll be perfect.

I was going to get a new phone soon ( like the z3) but with this I think I can keep it for a while longer. All I want now is a waterproof case that if anyone knows of one let me know because I can't find anything but pouches. I go on Trips a lot in the summer outdoors so it would be really helpful.

Trouble

I have followed the instructions but when I pushed from 28a to 39a, my phone booted up, but the LG UI just flickers and I don't have access to my settings. Which means I can't turn on debugging and flash back to fix it. Anyone know of a fix for this?

Maybe try a factory reset? I haven't seen that happen myself...

I was referring to running ART on kitkat :)!
[G2 General] player911:
Yea I never felt the need to rush into ART. Between the lack of Xposed and app capability and wonkiness, I just felt like I would ride out Dalik and just be happy that everything works as it should.

Lollipop on my Nexus 7 2013 still isn't right. It will be 100% charged at 8am (freshly rebooted) and be completely dead when I come home... without the screen being on or having any use. I keep the installations lite. Nothing runs on my tablet that I don't have on my other tablets or phones running Kitkat.

I am in no rush to move to LP.

Curious about the guys who already flashed this when in comparison to a G3 rom:

- There is no Lock Code (pretty sure that was confirmed)

- What about MultiWindow?

- Any other differences
[G2 General] vPro97:
The reason why I want to use ART (or simply move to lollipop) is because my phone is affected by home button lag/home button delay. It's only present when using dalvik, and it's gone on ART. Nexus 4 had the same issue on 4.4.2 and I really don't know what caused it. I only have this issue on stock based ROMs. I tried going all the way back and flashing a kdz but no luck. And it's bothering me a lot.
[G2 General] MicroMod777:
After many attempts trying different methods to flash different su on 27a nothing sticks on the OTA LP. I think there uses to be a fastboot method to access the phone in which an older root was done. Can't seem to access fastboot on LP though. Any idea's?

Is LP the final frontier with modding all our phones till the kdz comes out. Even when the KDZ appears, not totally sure how to go flashing a LP bootstrap. Cloudyfa seems to have a working LP method for the F320 models.

[G2 General] Nafon:
Pretty sure we could either use fastboot or download mode (not both), and that we wouldn't be able to keep fastboot through an OTA. Unless Xdabbeb can work some magic, we are going to have to do what the G3 users have done (here and that entire thread) and wait for the official KDZ to extract the individual partitions for flashing/rooting. I'm assuming LG patched ioroot a long time ago? Haven't heard much about it since stump root. The latest confirmed working version of ioroot for vs980 used an adb sideload exploit in the stock recovery. That might be what you remember.
[G2 General] bouchigo:
Yeah, it's looking like that's going to be the case. We'll just have to patiently wait until the .kdz is released, or "someone" who has the .kdz to leak it.
[G2 General] iowabowtech:
Yeah that's pretty much my thinking also. It seems likely we can use the same method as the G3 once we get it which is to flash a bump'd boot.img along with system and modem. Should leave us with rooted (or directly rootable) LP on the KK bootloader.

I have follow this to a T and when i install from 28a to 39a all the LG software is jacked up. The only part of the instructions im not quite clear on is #12. Is this something i have to run, and when?
[G2 General] player911:
#11 says to rename 39 to the dlkpkg file or whatever and do number 9 again to run the command that starts flashing.

#12 looks like it is echoing info from a log file or something. I've never done that. Maybe if there were problems during flashing, that command would echo the error message you received.
[G2 General] jonstrong:
I'm not familiar with the details of this kind of scripting, but my interpretation is that #12 is actually creating a one line script file called, "command" that, when executed, would set a reference to the location of the "dlpkgfile" (downloaded package file?), which is the executable update package that you just renamed.

I also did NOT use #12 -- it was unnecessary, as the two update steps ran just fine without creating the command script. That tells me that executing the script would simply be redundant, and that DmcEzUpdateStart defaults to finding the renamed update package file in /cache/fota/".

Anyway - short answer - I didn't use #12 - followed the instructions without #12, and the two update steps ran perfectly.
[G2 General] gooruma:
do you need root access to do this?
[G2 General] Nafon:

On another note, I spent too long trying to figure out why the update wasn't working for me. I had to change permissions on dlpkgfile. I just gave it all permissions, but that probably wasn't necessary.

No there shouldn't be a command folder, that echo command creates a command file. Some people here are saying the update worked without that step working, so you might be okay skipping it. Just make sure you set permissions on the dlpkgfile and see if it happens.
