It's important to note that installing the OTA will break root, correct?

What the rooted guys are needing is a system.img that can be flashed using the instructions in the OP through twrp without breaking root.

Most of us do not know how to extract the system.img from the OTA
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
I was under the impression that the ota is actually a large collection of patch files. In theory, you could apply those patches to the zv6 system on your PC. Don't know if it's practical or not

But that might get you into business
[Sprint LG G3] schmoof:
I've never manually updated an OTA on stock recovery. Can it even be run on a stock on stock? My rooted/TWRP recovery was a snap.
[Sprint LG G3] Jamesredmond82:
Curious i'm not rooted....waiting for the ota like a kid on christmas eve. So i the question is can i or could i root my lg g3 then flash the ota in a recovery and then i would lose root is that correct????? I really didnt want to root this phone because of a tivo app that i have that wont work with a rooted phone.
[Sprint LG G3] Jamesredmond82:
can you flash the lg ota from that link in stock recovery?

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

can i flash this ota in stock recovery? if i download the zip file?
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
I believe so. Worst case is it says it can't.
[Sprint LG G3] crazygerz:
There is some method to root in zv8 without going down to Zv4, my phone is new and not queiro do dowungraud. thanks in advance,
[Sprint LG G3] schmoof:
My question regarding this is stock recovery only shows the option to factory reset. I also renamed it update.zip but that didn't help
[Sprint LG G3] sponge66:
I tried to sideload this file through ADB and it said signature failed.. installation aborted.

The one Zang posted a link for
[Sprint LG G3] s0c9:
My question also....

Not entirely a noob, having rooted and run custom and stock ROM's on both my HTC and S3's early on.. but..

Do we have to root (per ZV6 instructions) back down to ZV4, then apply the ZV8 root ??

Is there a way to get root on ZV8 ?

Mine was new with ZV6 when I got it .. expect the Sprint OTA ZV8 ant day now..
[Sprint LG G3] whoppe862005:
Yes. You have to revert back to ZV4 with the flash tool. There is no root for ZV6 and no root for ZV8. You will have to root on ZV4 and then flash the stock rooted odexed ZV8 rom to maintain root.
[Sprint LG G3] schmoof:
LG PC Suite might be able to side load ota

[Sprint LG G3] elwood:
By downloading this can it be flashed thru stock recovery? Never messed with LG, as I've always had Samsung before. Actually i still use Samsung but the wife uses a G3
[Sprint LG G3] schmoof:
Please delete this post...
[Sprint LG G3] ZangetsuSX:
For all of you wondering if the file in the link I submitted can be flashed through Stock Recovery the answer is NO. The only way of installing it is if you have TWRP recovery installed or another custom recovery flashed on your G3.
[Sprint LG G3] shivaagarwal1:
So if I flash the file from LG website which is about 1 gn through TWRP, will TWRP be replaced by stock recovery? Will I lose the root?
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
I don't think you CAN flash the LG file in TWRP
[Sprint LG G3] Jamesredmond82:
but you will lose root right?

Has anyone received the OFFICIAL OTA Update from Sprint yet? If yes, please post your screenshots of the "About Phone" section of your device. Also, please remember that we're still waiting for someone to submit the OFFICIAL ZV6 to ZV8 OTA Update file for posting it at the the beginning of this thread. Thanks my LG G3 brothers!

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

Have looked endlessly for any indication of people posting screenshots of their Sprint LG G3's getting updated to ZV8 but no luck!
[Sprint LG G3] red3razor:
Can anyone comment on Bluetooth connectivity/stability after the zv8 update? And if so, how did you install zv8 for comparison purposes...? On zv4 I'm still having to cycle airplane mode often to connect my already paired devices. Plus loss of functionality i.e. not being able to press button on headset to end/answer calls 90% of the time. Thanks in advance for your findings.
[Sprint LG G3] 2348z:
Haven't had any problem with BT, besides when using it with Pandora. Might be Pandora.
[Sprint LG G3] ZangetsuSX:
Finally received the OTA Update to Lollipop 5.0.1 from Sprint this morning at 5:30 AM. I like the Lollipop dock buttons they look cleaner somehow than the previous dock buttons from LG. Kind of gives you the feeling of having a pure Android phone. I also get the feeling that the battery is going down fast somehow. So I'll let you guys know how it goes throughout the day. It's been a full week since this OTA Update went out to Sprint customers so it's not bad at all. I thought it would take longer.
[Sprint LG G3] red3razor:
Does anyone know definitively.... when flashing ota files through twrp, is flashing system.img necessary if I don't plan to stay on stock rom anyway?
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
You really might want to, unless you're flashing a rom that will let you update prl and profile. When you change modems, you often need to do that, and I don't know if there are any AOSP roms that will do that
[Sprint LG G3] red3razor:
I really was considering doing the flash ota files method in this thread, or flashing bare pop by engine. I've seen you've experimented with zv8. Worth upgrading from my old zv4? Plus, if I flash bare pop, then choose to flash a different custom rom, do I loose the progress I made (boot, modem, rpm, system, tz.img's).

MMS not sending/receiving on some 5.0.x roms, plus BT instability (having to cycle airplane mode on/off to connect an already paired device) are the things making me want to switch to zv8. I guess a modem update for signal could be nice. TIA in advance for you your perspectives.

I guess I can assume if I do see improvements in bare pop, I can expect to lose them in other custom roms? Or will me updating my phone to zv8 help?
[Sprint LG G3] Androidawg:
Downloading Now

OK guys, my fully stock G3 is downloading the update right now. If anyone wants to provide me with the necessary steps i WILL ATTEMPT TO PULL THE ota FILE FROM THE PHONE AND POST FOR Y'ALL TO WORK WITH.

Stupid caps lock
[Sprint LG G3] autoprime:
you need to be rooted.. then browse to the /cache directory using something like ES Explorer. just need the full filename of the OTA zip file. With that we can download the file through Google.. no need to pull the file and upload it (unless you want to).

*edit*

it seems like they have just named the OTA to "update.zip"
[Sprint LG G3] red3razor:
autoprime, might you have some insight to my post a few up #101?
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
I'd do it. Flash BarePop and get the prl/profile updated. Power off. Wipe data, cache, dalvik, and system. Flash other ROM. Radio and the affiliated files will still be the radio released with ZV8.

It's also a good idea to get a good GPS lock on BarePop before flashing something else. Not sure why exactly, but it ends up making a huge difference with connectivity and GPS when you do all that before flashing a non stock based ROM
[Sprint LG G3] red3razor:
@ RandomPooka

Thanks a bunch for your input! Maybe now I should wait for the "official" ota to get extracted and shared? (couple posts up)
[Sprint LG G3] autoprime:

[Sprint LG G3] csansom:
[MENTION=5360333]ruthlessptizzle[/MENTION] What exactly do you mean by "i download the new one that also has root and have no issues" ? Meaning you manually flashed the individual partitions so you could keep root?

---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------

Hey, I've always wondered this but never asked. The actual OTA files that come from Sprint. Would they be considered ODEXED or DEODEXED?
[Sprint LG G3] red3razor:
Is it confirmed that the current tot files that were already available to flash via twrp... will be the same files/update as the one just updated in OP via update.zip provided by nyker? As in, are the previously leaked just the same as the now available official? I'm trying to decide how/when I will update to zv8. TIA
[Sprint LG G3] whoppe862005:
Hey, I've always wondered this but never asked. The actual OTA files that come from Sprint. Would they be considered ODEXED or DEODEXED?[/QUOTE]

I believe they would be odexed. I know they are trying to deodex zv8 but I guess it is proving to be quite a pain to do.
[Sprint LG G3] Dreddge:
So will flashing the OTA zip from the cache kill my root?

Just wanted to check, because I can't live without root. I'd wither and die. I'd like the chance to restore from nandroid if I don't like lolipop
[Sprint LG G3] jcwxguy:
probably kills root
[Sprint LG G3] ZangetsuSX:
Take a look at my battery level. All day long since 5:30 AM when I disconnected it from the wall charger! Lollipop rocks people.
[Sprint LG G3] Visionikz03:
Yes battery life is crazy good! I streamed Bluetooth for about 5 hours plus my normal use and battery barely hit 80%... I'd say project "volte" or whatever Google called it is paying off...
[Sprint LG G3] autoprime:
nice! that's interesting because some of the earlier G3 Lollipop builds on other models were NOT getting good battery life at all. some were noticing huge drain while others didn't have big drain.. but it was worse than on KitKat. This was not only with the korean or intl devices.. but even with the recent AT&T and Verizon updates.

the test builds I have tried myself (I don't own a Sprint G3) have not had terrible battery life.. but it certainly wasn't any better than on KK.. and maybe even a lil worse. still totally usable tho. I'm hoping T-Mobile's build is as good on battery as Sprint's is for you guys.

[Sprint LG G3] InTheRough:
I presently have ZV4 (bumped). I thought I read somewhere that I need to do the Flash2 method to ZV6 before flashing the individual partitions of ZV8, but I can't find where that was. So, question, can I update directly to ZV8 from ZV4 by flashing these partitions and retain bump?
[Sprint LG G3] Knightbird68:
Awesome battery life?? I am seeing the COMPLETE OPPOSITE. I had better life on my ZV6 (rooted) than I do now.

I take my phone off the charger at 6:30 am, stream some music on the way to work (1 hour), check my email and play a few Dice with Buddies or Words with Friends, and then turn the screen, sound, bluetooth, and wifi off (and have it set for no vibration), and by 4:30 I am between 46-50%. On ZV6 it was still in the 75-79% range!

So what am I doing wrong?
[Sprint LG G3] joao2307:
So, I am on zv4 and rooted (stumproot I think.. It was done 10 months ago... So I don't remember). Now I want to upgrade to zv8..(never did zv6) can someone help with the steps.

Thanks

[Sprint LG G3] Memnoch30:
My friend's phone is stuck at the part where it goes into Mini OS and then it goes into an Auto Touch Test screen. LG Flash never finishes and says "Fail to get BOOT Complete Status" at around 89%.

Edit: Nevermind we got it. The screen says to not touch anything but you have to scroll down with the touch screen and then hold the power button down and choose the appropriate normal mode boot.
[Sprint LG G3] janocool:
just to confirm no root access yet, right? so the gsm unlock procedure can´t work.
[Sprint LG G3] Garros:
I got root with the one click no down grade sript in the g3 general section I think it was, worked good, I had taken the new 8 ota but it did work.....now waiting on bump for very 8....
[Sprint LG G3] br0adband:
The Mini OS instruction is "DON'T TOUCH THE SCREEN (after you tap OK)" which is because when you tap OK it then reads the entire digitizer and expects to get zero input from it for the 1-1.5 seconds it tests it. After that you can touch things fine - just don't touch it for that short testing period till the full menu appears.

You already figured it out but that's the specific reason for the "DON'T TOUCH THE SCREEN" message. A lot of people get stuck there at that point because they think it's telling them not to touch the screen at all and that's not the case: tap OK then don't touch it till that test is done. ;)

[Sprint LG G3] cabbieBot:
I just ran up from Barren's ZV4 to ZV6 on the [FIRMWARE] thread, which went fine, and then from ZV6 to ZV8 per this thread.

I didn't swap out the bumped boot.img for the stock one, which caused me some severe GI distress because I'm terrible at physically booting it into recovery, and I had to pull the battery about 10 times, but I managed to do it after about an hour of trying. I then dd'd over the bumped boot, and rebooted. At some point here previous to this, TWRP (2.8.0.0) asked me about rooting and I swiped yes.

After hanging on the boot screen it eventually booted into Lollipop. Oddly enough, I got a system firmware update prompt. I ignored that and started poking around. I opened SuperSU and it said no SU binary was present and I manually needed to re-root if I had just upgraded to lollipop. Well, that's weird because TWRP said it installed it. I decided to give it a normal reboot and see if it still fussed at me, but then it hung on the splash screen for long enough to show it was a problem. I used adb to reboot into recovery and I pushed over one of the updated TWRP images and flashed it, but didn't get a message to root.

So I rebooted and now I'm staring at it on the bootscreen. I still have ADB, so I'm not panicking, but I'm trying to figure out what's going on. It's weird that it would boot into lollipop once but refuse to boot up fully again. I'm going to let it do its thing here for another half hour and, I suppose, restore my ZV6 nandroid if nothing happens. Any comments....? My initial mistake was not sending over the bump'd boot image. Where did I go wrong from there?

side note: this has been fun, its been a while since i got my hands dirty and really broke ****...all is fine as long as i dont brick, the way i figure.

http://www.droidviews.com/easily-root-sprint-lg-g3-ls990-on-lollipop-and-install-twrp-recovery/

Rooted and installed twrp no problem. Don't know why there isn't a solution posted on this forum of all places...

I will say stock lollipop is buggy as hell. Came from Barrin zv6. Having all kinds of minor annoyances like bad signal at home (didn't before), messaging apps freezing/not receiving mms/not opening/fc'ing, goofy lock screen sometimes when charging. Just some weird stuff happening. No hotspot, do have wifi calling, did the ##scrtn# (i think) reset n no change for hotspot or signal issues. Haven't done the reset that I need the service code for yet bc I hate calling for stuff. Makes me want to go back to kit kat. Sure wish there was an official CM12 release for us! Haven't tried nfc.

I have been doing a lot of searching and I can't find my answer. I think i might be in the right place.

I have an LG G3 with Ti-X 1.3 LG G3 installed along with obviously being rooted and having TWRP installed.

Can I flash the vz8 zip through TWRP without flashing individual partitions coming from 6.0.1 cm13?
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
Been ages since I've been on this forum ... Trying to remember how to do things I used to know like the back of my hand!!!

Gotta reflash stock recovery, but I don't know if the TWRP version on my old G3 that I gave my daughter is 2.8.4.0+ that allows flashing a recovery img file like a zip file. Worst case scenario is that I use the terminal emulator in TWRP to write the recovery partition.

She doesn't want or need root or a custom ROM, so I'm mostly just looking to get her back to a "factory" state without losing the existing userdata she has on her already stock ROM. Pretty sure that the only thing non-stock on that phone is the TWRP and it may be running the ZV4/6 bootloader instead of the ZV8 one.

I'll let you guys know how that turns out, but if anyone has done this same thing (without losing user data), I wouldn't turn down any tips or suggestions
