You can't just flash a system.img that doesn't match your current software version. You have to already be on the target software version to flash the rooted 10I update.

To get on the updated version, you would have to do a full unroot, remove anything like exposed, flash a stock 10G system.img, do a factory reset then take the OTA THEN flash the rooted 10I
[G4 General] Dnorris55:
DOH! I forgot about the version stuff.

Now I've flashed back to unrooted 10G, took the OTA update to 10I.

When I try to flash niftium's rooted 10I image, the # returns in a second, and the phone doesn't reboot. Have to remove the battery. Upon reboot, I don't have root.

Edit: After updating the su binary and a reboot, I now have 10I root. ?
[G4 General] iamtha1:
Did you have xposed installed....? If u did... Did you have to uninstall that first?
[G4 General] Dnorris55:
Xposed was not installed.
[G4 General] uly609:
I had Xposed installed and just tried to do unroot in SuperSU then flash stock 10G and the update would fail.
[G4 General] fireguy0306:
All that for a stagefright fix.. I'll wait.
[G4 General] Spectre51:
Must say my battery life is greatly improved on this update. Got over 5 hours screen on time today. Barely reached 4 before. Touch sensitivity feels much better too.

[G4 General] faizalotai:
Really, damn..still haven't decide to update but this news is great....gonna think about it..lol
[G4 General] fireguy0306:
Hmm
[G4 General] niftium:
This. My usage was fairly light over the weekend, but I haven't plugged it in overnight in four days and I'm only down to 33%. I can't quantify the improvement, but it's better, for sure.
[G4 General] fireguy0306:
Ok what if I don't have the stock 10g img anymore due to a corrupted SDCard.
[G4 General] example508:
I'm feeling pretty lost about updating too. I don't have the stock 10g image on my SD card. Could someone who has done this please just lay out the steps clearly?
[G4 General] uly609:
There is a link floating around (in this thread I think) to a stock 10g img.
[G4 General] mankand007:
Complete Noob here. I have an unrooted H810 on 10g. Now, I'm using it on TMobile, so I'm not getting any updates for 10l. My phone says it's upto date. How do I get rooted 10l on my phone? Are there any risks with rooted 10l like the green spot issue? If it is safe, please point me to detailed instructions on how to go about it. Thanks!
[G4 General] example508:
Can you use flash fire to get back to uprooted 10g?
[G4 General] fireguy0306:
Haha, it is. Thank you.
[G4 General] fireguy0306:
Did you unroot and remove xposed?
[G4 General] Dnorris55:
I didn't have Xposed installed. Still don't.

I went from rooted 10G to rooted 10i.

I had tried to unroot via SuperSU app, to get the Ota update but that didn't work. So i downloaded the unrooted 10G image and "flashed" that. Then I took the Ota update to 10i. Then DL the rooted 10i image and flashed that.

The hardest part is downloading the images.
[G4 General] fireguy0306:
So i removed xposed and then flashed unrooted 10g image. Tried the OTA, which failed with a "rooted" error. Figured i should flash the rooted 10g to unroot and then try again. Edit: Found a mirror of the tgz since the original owners download site was WAY too slow
[G4 General] iamtha1:
If you removed any stock att apps... After u root.. I believe the ota app will think u are rooted...and throw that error when u try to update. Had the same problem with the lg g flex..
[G4 General] fireguy0306:
I actually did a full factory reset prior to updating since i knew i messed with the OTA software.
[G4 General] iamtha1:
A factory reset wont restore apps u deleted.. You would need to flash a lg g4 att tot which is not available
[G4 General] fireguy0306:
i didn't think i deleted apps, pretty sure i just had frozen them. Then again i may have. Looks like i may be doing an 810PR anyway. Somehow for the first time on any of my many android devices it looks like i softbricked it. It boots into the dead android with the red triangle... grr
[G4 General] iamtha1:
The update process to me seams this.... Unfreeze all apps u froze.... Uninstall xposed.... Unroot via supersu... Flash 10g... Then update...
[G4 General] jbx74205:
Is there any type of step-by-step guide around for AT&T phones to go back to stock without resorting to the PR version? I've checked and I haven't found anything. Is it just as simple as flashing the stock img? I'm on rooted 10G and want to sell my phone so that I can pick up the H815. When I've sold rooted phones or ones with unlocked bootloaders in the past, I've run into issues with people returning them to me.

I've deleted most of the AT&T apps, so from the comments in this thread, it looks like even if i flashed the stock 10G img file posted earlier, I wouldn't be able to update the phone to the latest firmware? Is there a way to restore or re-download those apps so that the phone thinks everything is back to normal and I can take the update? Wouldn't flashing the stock 10G restore the missing apps?
[G4 General] autoprime:
need a rooted 10i user dump aboot and PM me the file?

dont know how to do that? then you are not the one :)

thx
[G4 General] jbx74205:
Totally confused autoprime... Lol. Was that message for me??
[G4 General] niftium:
Have you tried this? http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586 I hosted the stock 10G image for a couple of weeks, but since it appears everyone has moved on to 10I, I had to delete it from my Drive to make room. Flashing the stock 10G image will restore the removed AT&T apps.

Related note: my stock 10I image is coming soon; thanks to Spectre51 for the reminder to upload and share.
[G4 General] jbx74205:
Thanks! Haven't given that root method a shot yet. I'll try flashing the 10g image that I downloaded, then see if I can update to 10i via OTA.
[G4 General] niftium:
Stock (unrooted) 10I .img. Use freely, rehost at will, etc., but all at your own risk.

[G4 General] jbx74205:
Thanks!
[G4 General] scabbie1980:
I see that the 10I rooted is on this page. Have anyone tried it yet and did/do it flash just like the other root system.img flash?
[G4 General] phineous:
Androidfilehost.com will give you storage space for these images. Compress them before uploading though, they have trouble with files over 2GB.
[G4 General] catzilla:
Guys, I'm very sorry, but I'm having trouble finding stock unrooted 10g image so that I could upgrade. Would someone kindly throw me a link please? Thanks a lot.
[G4 General] niftium:
If LG stands by their "we'll update things often" comment, I'll have to check this out for sure. Thanks!
[G4 General] jbx74205:
There's a link a little further back in this thread. I just uprooted with it and it worked fine.
[G4 General] catzilla:
Do you mean this one? Because that's been taken down.

Could you reupload the one you have, perhaps?
[G4 General] jscass2000:
I second the request for a stock 10g img. If someone uploads it, I will add to my google drive and share a link as well.
[G4 General] 99SSCamaro:
I'm actually having problems as well. I have a downloaded copy of the "stock" 10g image that was posted a while ago, but I don't believe it's actually stock. It has an exposed.prop file, and modified build.prop file in it. I flashed that, booted up, and still can't take the OTA. Anybody know where there's a true unrooted stock 10g image available to download yet?
[G4 General] niftium:
I never installed Xposed or modified my build.prop on 10G, so I don't think that was mine. I'm pretty anal about image backups, so I'll poke around and see if I ever transferred the 10G image w/ a flash drive and forgot to delete it.

For those of you looking for 10G, is there any reason the stock unrooted 10I won't work for you?
[G4 General] jbx74205:
I have the one from that link and can confirm it's 100% stock. Used it to unroot and update to 10i. Just not sure how to upload it...
[G4 General] 99SSCamaro:
Huh ...maybe I got that one somewhere else! LOL! Anyway, the reason I need the stock 10g image, is because I'm currently on rooted 10g. I need to flash stock 10g, then take the OTA update to 10I, then I can flash the rooted 10I (at least that's how I understand it's supposed to work). Can't take the OTA when rooted, and unrooting via the superSU app doesn't seem to do the trick. Also can't flash the 10I image without first taking the OTA.

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

Do you have a google/gmail account? I think with the free google drive you get like 15gigs of storage or something like that. You could share it from there I think. If all else fails, I could give you an FTP site on my personal server to upload to I guess. Anything you can do is much appreciated though!
[G4 General] jbx74205:
Here you go!https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0GmP9HjTTLJM0NfUktfYkFLYWs/view?usp=sharing

The process for un-rooting is pretty simple. Just go through all of the steps in the LER post, and in the final step, change the name of the file in the dd command to match this one. Or you can always rename the file to match what's in the dd command to avoid fiddling with that line of text. Just make sure that you unfreeze any apps before you go back to stock. I didn't do that, so I had to re-root, unfreeze and un-root again.
[G4 General] 99SSCamaro:
You rock man! I'm downloading now ...I'll give it a try shortly!

Have anyone tried the rooted 10I yet....
[G4 General] 99SSCamaro:
I flashed the unrooted 10g image that jbx74205 posted. Then ran the OTA. I was then on 10i unrooted. I then flashed the 10i rooted img that niftium posted. I'm now rooted 10i!
[G4 General] scabbie1980:
Thank you, I'll try it this weekend....
[G4 General] mdoctor:
Unfroze all frozen apps. Uninstalled exposed. Then unrooted. Then tried to take update. No dice. It said device suspected of rooting.

Then I flashed unrooted 10g. Then tried to update. Still said device suspected of rooting. What are my options here?

I am currently on unrooted 10g. Can I directly flash unrooted 10i over it?

Please someone help!

Sent from my LG-H810
[G4 General] scabbie1980:
OK, so I read this thread from the first page til now and what I'm getting is that you can't flash one update over another. You can't update if you deleted any system apps. An if something goes wrong you have to flash the H810PR. with the green dot camera. Am I right?

I'm trying to know everything before I flash. I already had to take one back for green dot....
[G4 General] niftium:
You can't flash from one letter version to the next, correct. But you can flash a rooted version of the same letter revision as your unrooted version.

Hm, there's a bit of nuance here. Deleting system apps means being rooted, and you can't take the OTA update if you're rooted. But it's not the deletion of system apps that blocks you, it's the fact that LG sees that you're probably rooted.

Depends on how wrong it goes, but that last resort hasn't (to my knowledge) failed anyone yet. I ****ed up my build.prop last night and just had to reflash my system.img file again.

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------

Can't flash unrooted 10I over unrooted 10G. Do you have any side-loaded apps, apps installed to the system partition, or xposed modules installed that might imply to the updater that you WERE rooted at one time? I have no idea what the updater looks for when it tries to figure out if you're rooted, so maybe I'm way off base.
[G4 General] thehoz:
Just to sum up for my slow brain... in order to go from 10g rooted to 10i rooted...

1. Unfreeze all apps.

2. Install the unrooted 10g image downloaded from above in this thread using the Low Effort Root method, substituting the unrooted 10g image for the rooted one.

3. Update to 10i via OTA.

4. Install the rooted 10i image downloaded from above in this thread using the LER method, subsituting the rooted 10i image for the rooted 10g image.

Is this correct?
[G4 General] scabbie1980:
Thank you, I do appreciate that
[G4 General] niftium:
I can't speak to the freezing/unfreezing part - I backup and uninstall any apps I don't want. Then I proceed exactly as you've written (except that I use the more generalized version of the LER method that I've linked to a few posts back). But it seems like those who choose to freeze have all chosen to unfreeze before proceeding.
[G4 General] jbx74205:
Yes, you definitely have to unfreeze. I froze all of the system update apps when I rooted, and when I unrooted, I forgot to unfreeze them. I tried to take the OTA and I couldn't even get into the software update because I froze that app. Once I rerooted, unfroze and unrooted again, everything was fine.
[G4 General] thehoz:
Well, here is where I am now. I downloaded the 10g unrooted you posted (thanks by the way!). I moved it to my sd card. I renamed it.....took off the "un" so that it matched the filename in the LER instructions. I followed the original LER instructions. When I got to the point that I put in the long command that included the img file...the last step basically, the cmd windows immediately went to the # symbol as if nothing happened...which was the case. I renamed the unrooted img file back to "unrooted" and changed the name in the command that gets run....again, nothing happened. The second time it even rebooted the phone when I typed LEAVE, but no change, phone is still 10g rooted. Anyone have any ideas what I may have done wrong? Thanks
[G4 General] 99SSCamaro:
The img needs to be on your internal storage, not on SD card.
[G4 General] thehoz:
Oh crap, thanks!
[G4 General] tenTeez:
Did this work for you?
[G4 General] thehoz:
Yes it did. I also copied my unrooted 10l img using the command from the 2nd post under the original LER post. So I now have a 10g rooted and unrooted img and a 10l rooted and unrooted img. I am running the unrooted 10l until I get the chance to put the rooted on.
[G4 General] tenTeez:
Awesome! And you achieved this by following what you said here right?
[G4 General] thehoz:
Yes. I changed the command line from the LER post to "unrooted" and it worked fine.

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

I mean that's how I used the img from niftium. I would guess you can rename the img to "rooted" to match the command line or vice versa. I was just trying to keep all the img files organized.
[G4 General] tenTeez:
Right, I know what ya mean. I'll give this a shot later.
[G4 General] dannygoround:
I removed xposed, unfroze all apps, unrooted and flashed the 10g stock image using LER method. After that I factory reset my phone to take the OTA but still received the "phone is expected of rooted" error. Is anyone else having this problem or know of a way to resolve it? In back on rooted 10g for now which is fine it just annoys me that I can't get the OTA.
[G4 General] scabbie1980:
So, can we go back and take an ota after rooting? Or once you root there's no going back to update?
[G4 General] quinejh:
I'm sorry if this is a double post. I think my first post was placed in the wrong thread somewhere. I was running the 10h rooted and wanted to update cause I do a lot of texting and mms for work so I used su pro to unroot took the 10I from AT&T upon installation it said the phone was suspected of rooting and installation was aborted. I did a factory reset and tried again with the same result. I'm fully uprooted and total stock but I have no system img of I to pull and I can't update from G so any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
[G4 General] example508:
If I deleted all of the ATT stuff can I still do this? Also deleted the update stuff, feeling pretty dumb. If I factory reset do I get all of this back?
[G4 General] faizalotai:
No, all Att stuff are system apps, you'll have to flash stock image to get it back.
[G4 General] example508:
Now I'm getting the suspected of rooting error too.
[G4 General] scabbie1980:
Question, do y'all think we'll get the android M update this year?
[G4 General] example508:
Any ideas?
[G4 General] faizalotai:
Some saying that freeze app can failed the update, be sure to unfreeze all app with root image before, double check with debloater..

If all ok, then flash stock image..try checked again with debloater..

i've post about an app doesn't unfreeze a while ago here
[G4 General] jbx74205:
Has anyone else noticed that their phone is running hotter and burning battery faster since updating to 10I? On Friday my phone got too hot to hold for about 5 minutes and my battery went from 56% to 39%. I've noticed that it gets really hot right around the camera lens. I'm on stock 10I right now.
[G4 General] hlb3:
Yeah, mine randomly does that too. Most of the time it is totally fine, but every other day it seems to get really hot and super laggy.
[G4 General] jbx74205:
Did it do that before the 10I update? Mine was fine until I updated from 10G to 10I, then it started misbehaving. I pulled the battery yesterday for a good 10-15 minutes and then restarted. It seems ok so far...
[G4 General] hlb3:
It didn't do it on 10G, although I was only on 10G with this phone for about a week (my 1st phone was replaced by ATT). It was about 3-4 days after the update when I noticed it happen for the first time.
[G4 General] jbx74205:
Ah ok thanks. Seems like something might be wonky with the 10I update then. I hope they fix it in the next one, because this is more than a little annoying.
[G4 General] quinejh:
I've been getting the failed update on a rooted phone and I have factory reset twice and unrooted all I can think of is to flash the 10G unrooted software then take the update then flash the 10I rooted but I have searched all these threads and cant find an unrooted 10G would anyone know where I can find one? and I would assume we flash this just the same way we did the rooted version? please correct me if I'm wrong. called lg and they told me the 10G was the latest version. they weren't aware of an update.
[G4 General] jbx74205:
I actually posted the unrooted 10G image a few pages back:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0G...ew?usp=sharing
[G4 General] mdoctor:
Were you able to get the 10I update? If so, can you post what you had to do to get it to update?

Thanks,

MD
[G4 General] InflatedTitan:
I know this is a facepalm question.. But the command for the 10i img should be the same right, only change the name of the img file?
[G4 General] tenTeez:
Correct, just change the filename in the command. Or you can leave the command the same and change the name of the file.
[G4 General] scabbie1980:
Question, have anyone been able to root then unroot and been able to update after?
[G4 General] Dnorris55:
Yes, but you have to unroot by flashing the unrooted image, not via SuperSU.
[G4 General] scabbie1980:
Have you achieved it yet?
[G4 General] Dnorris55:
Yes, I went from rooted 10G, flashed the unrooted 10 G, got the OTA 10 I update, then flashed the rooted 10I.
[G4 General] scabbie1980:
Thank you
[G4 General] knoshann:
Have you noticed any real difference between G and I?
[G4 General] nseriessaga:
Has anyone been able to download the 10i rooted image from this thread recently? The furthest I've been able to get is 1.8gigs, but it usually hangs and stops after a few megs for me.
[G4 General] Dnorris55:
I've uploaded the 10G and 10 I images to Mega.

They are archived with 7Zip.

https://mega.nz/#F!aJ9HDRgA!ZhqrRbJUpxQB_Dn-J8AmOQ

Hopefully this folder link works.

No, I haven't noticed any, but it works great. There is still 1 Stagefright vulnerability detected, others are fixed.
[G4 General] InflatedTitan:
After 2 or 3 times I had a successful download. (I think).. I haven't flashed it yet, but it's the same size as my 10g img.

I had to keep my laptop from dimming.. Seemed to do the trick
[G4 General] nseriessaga:
Hmm that's interesting. Usually all my downloads no matter what size, shows its progress. This file doesn't show any, the only way to check is to go into file manager and check properties. I've tried at least a good 20 times now. Anybody willing to up it for me?
[G4 General] nseriessaga:
I used Opera browser and it downloaded successfully. When I used the LER to flash it, everything seemed fine until on "leave" command, the phone rebooted and got stuck on boot. Sigh. Not sure what went wrong. Im still able to get into download mode, but adb not recognizing it. Tried factory reset "power and vol -" button trick, didn't work!
[G4 General] InflatedTitan:
This scares me lol. One guy getting bad downloads.. Another guy having problems... Hmmm glad I waited a bit..
[G4 General] tenTeez:
I unblocked all blocked apps with Debloater. Then flashed stock H81010g image. Tried OTA updating but still says that my phone is suspected of being rooted. Contacted AT&T about it and they are shipping me a new one. I want to be able to get updates sadly so I took the offer for the new phone that I probably won't root because of this updating issue :/
[G4 General] Gladpants:
I'm having the same issue. might have to go to get anew one as well.
[G4 General] scabbie1980:
I had to get a new phone from AT&T last month also. I decided to not think about root until android M. After android M we may not get anymore updates well until this time next year....
[G4 General] ExTREmE99:
this worked great for me. i originally forgot to unblock apps (like update center), so i had to re-root 10g. then unblocked and was able to access update center, but obviously wont install due to root. re-flashed stock 10g, made sure i had no root/supersu, reboot, then installed OTA, then reflashed 10i. took quite a while, but hey, i'm back in business!
[G4 General] scabbie1980:
So what did you do different then everyone else?
[G4 General] comicbookjerk:
QHSUSB_BULK Blank phone

QHSUSB_BULK is all the device manager on my PC when I plug my phone up, the phone is completely black and won't come on does anyone know of a way to get it it to come on I believe something happened I made the mistake of following this guide http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848 and trying to get from H810 to the H810PR. Anyone know what could have happened or how to fix it instead of getting a replacement phone?
[G4 General] uly609:
If I'm not mistaken I think you hard bricked...
[G4 General] comicbookjerk:
I fear that you may be right..Not for sure how that happened I did everything right maybe h810 is just different because you don't hear alot of people even talking about it :/
[G4 General] uly609:
Your best bet might be to just take it back to AT&T and play the "It was doing an update and now its like this" card lol
[G4 General] comicbookjerk:
Replacement is in the mail :P Will be here tomorrow. Hopefully a new root will be out that isn't so destructive for the H810
[G4 General] uly609:
What exactly were you trying to do?? The LER root method is really easy to do and you don't need to flash the PR firmware.
[G4 General] comicbookjerk:
I was trying to root my device and when it was done I received a Security Error Authentication fail #11. After watching this guys video and following along https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZM-zTi3eAA

So then I was like crap so then I followed this Method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXO2SHqBiNk to try and get it to work.

Bricked it LOL
[G4 General] Dnorris55:
I got a security error when I flashed the wrong version. If you have 10G, you need to flash rooted 10G, etc.

The second video is about kdz, and ATT doesn't have any. To unroot, flash an unrooted image via LER method.
[G4 General] sinman02:
For those of you who reflashed the unrooted 10g image: How long did it take to get the OTA Software Update available message?

I've been "unrooted" for two days now (I unfroze all apps and unrooted via SU before I reflashed unrooted stock image, then subsequently flashed rooted image, then unrooted image again.) and I have not received the OTA message.

Is there a way to force the OTA update?
