You are on 11A, so you missed the boot loader boat already. It doesn't sound like it's going to be released anyway.

I would suggest you extract your stock 13B system image before you flash the rooted 13B. That will be the only way to get a future update, until we get a 13B KDZ file. Plus, if for some reason you don't like this rooted file, you can inject root into your stock 13B system image and go from there.

I remember when I started Titanium Backup for the first time on the G4 after rooted, GCUV is frozen and also something else that I can't remember the name of. GCUV will refreeze itself but I'm not sure what the other apk was.

No it won't. The rooted injected system image has root in it already, all factory reset will do is do the same thing as wiping /data, that has nothing to do with what's already installed which is SuperSU.apk and the su binary, remove or rename those after running SuperSU to uninstall root.

According to others, you need to have a Verizon SIM installed to get the updates and I don't know if the SIM has to be active or not but it probably requires a active Verizon account.
[Verizon LG G4] lennie paz:
I flashed the factory 11a image, and I'm not getting the new update either. Also, my Play Store keeps crashing now when I type something in the Play Store search bar. Anyone know what would be causing that?
[Verizon LG G4] Colchiro:
I was rooted and on 11a and flashed the 11a kdz using these directions: http://www.androidexplained.com/lg-g4-revert-stock/

Then I wiped and checked for updates and instantly was downloading 13b. I wiped again after updating to 13b.

I was wondering if borrowing a SIM would work. Thanks for confirming :) and great job getting it done.
[Verizon LG G4] xdabbeb:
If you want to reset your modified status you'll just need to zero out persist and remove the LG rct-related file from /data/system/. Look at the install script on any of my G2/G3 fw for more details. That isn't why you're failing, however. If you're positive your 12a backup is untouched/clean, then you may also need to wipe data/factory reset.
[Verizon LG G4] fr4nk1yn:
Thanks but I'm hosed until there's a kdz. I just have to accept that.

My backup should be clean, and I tried multiple flashes/wipes. There's no file(s) in /persist and I didn't find any info on "zeroing persist [image]", but as I understand the modified status is just "cosmetic" anyway.

Perhaps my backup, on the phone and the pc, somehow corrupted but not enough to keep from flashing successfully?
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
Sigh, on same boat as you. waiting till a KDZ shows up to flash back to stock.

Wonder if I can call Verizon and ask for a phone replacement?
[Verizon LG G4] fr4nk1yn:

Hi guys my G4 is on 11A (rooted) if I flash the kdz back to stock, how can I get the update 13B if my phone is been used in Mexico and i don't have any Verizon sim. Is there anyway I can get the update?

Thanks.
[Verizon LG G4] vo_danh:
Can anyone find official notes on what 13B fixes ?

I restored my 12A image since unroot failed to update. However upon restore all my apps were still there. THe update seems to be working. I'll back it up and try to inject root after. Or just try rustypie's.
[Verizon LG G4] fr4nk1yn:
Wife had me busy all day with Christmas decorating. Let me know when you have time for hangouts.

Looking at the update script, I'm thinking xposed may have something to do with the problem as /vendor is mentioned.

Does the G4 have a /vendor partition?
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
What problem has to do with Xposed? I'm running 13B with Xposed, so just wondering.
[Verizon LG G4] dvgb173:
Without a Verizon SIM, you can't get the update.

The good news is you can borrow someone's sim once you flash 11A KDZ. People have been reporting it takes a few hours for the update to become available after they flashed the KDZ.

Or you can wait for a 13B KDZ file to show up.
[Verizon LG G4] CyberManiaK:
Thanks, well borrowing the Verizon sim isn't going to happen, nobody in Mexico uses Verizon lol. So then I will wait and hope someday the 13B KDZ show up.

Thanks

[Verizon LG G4] fr4nk1yn:
It wasn't a problem with Xposed. I could'nt tkae the OTA update even after flashing my backup img. I was working under the idea that Xposed writes to the /vendor partition and left something behind after I uninstalled.

But I flashed a 13B img by mistake, because I changed computers, and it actually booted so I'm OK until a kdz is released and I fell froggy.

Either I found an issue of my not having the 13B boot.img has caused a problem: exFAT formatted SDCARDS are not readable.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
exFAT microSD not readable on what device?
[Verizon LG G4] fr4nk1yn:
On the phone...
[Verizon LG G4] nwsoftball:
The 13B update also fixed the G4 and bluetooth metadata.
[Verizon LG G4] daquick:
Wow I did not think I had issues with my touchscreen responsiveness until the 13B(was on 11A).

Phone feels so match snappier now.
[Verizon LG G4] ghostbustaj:
So as some of you have known, or not known, because of the WIFI issue (after I did the update on my old phone), I got a replacement phone from Verizon. It came with 11A. For weeks now I have not gotten any notifications or anything about any update. Even with checking it myself. Well...

A minute ago, I was sitting here playing guitar recording myself....I quit recording and picked up my phone. When I looked at a my phone, the phone was downloading an update on its own. (Which goes against what Verizon told me countless times "the phones don't just download updates themselves.") I did not select to update it, nor did I even see it. The phone was on my desk recording with the back camera.

Is this a new (fixed) update hopefully? It's fully downloaded on my phone right now. Has anyone else got this JUST like within the last 10 minutes or so?
[Verizon LG G4] haitu:
I just received a notification that an update was ready, but I needed Wi-Fi. Thankfully I was on my lte at home. I went to options and hit the system update and it gave me the options of NO THANKS, DOWNLOAD LATER and DOWNLOAD NOW. I hit no thanks.
[Verizon LG G4] ghostbustaj:
Should I be brave and install it? hmmm.....
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
It's probably just 13B. I'm running 13B as are many others. It fixed the touchscreen lag problem that many didn't realize until 13B turbocharged their phone relatively speaking.

So as always, you should make a backup and say your prayers before updating :) .

Good luck and do let us know how you make out.
[Verizon LG G4] ghostbustaj:
I just did the update *gasp* it's 13B.

And I'm not seeming to have any WiFi issues yet.
[Verizon LG G4] tpjets62:
Just got the notification myself, installed it, shows 13B....ill post back later and report any issues.....
[Verizon LG G4] pkopalek:
Does anyone here know how to STOP this update from happening?

I'm rooted, and I THOUGHT I did everything I needed to to stop OTA updates (according to past threads). Clearly, I did not.

I can't seem to find an apk that coordinates with 'SW Update' to freeze or delete, and I can't long-press the 'Sw Update is Waiting for Wi-Fi Connection' and hit 'Info' (there's no way to get the info for it).

Anyone know how to stop this? I'm not interested in it until I can sit down for several hours and figure it all out.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
What exactly are you trying to stop?
[Verizon LG G4] pkopalek:
This update. (Currently on 11A, and the 422MB 13B update is pending when I'm on WI-Fi. I do not want the update yet).
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
So if you ignore it, your phone won't get updated, right? Also if you are rooted, my understanding is if you click to install the update, it will try and then fail to install - is that correct?
[Verizon LG G4] pkopalek:
I am looking for a way to disable the 'SW Update' software that is showing the notification, rather than to ignore it and/or intentionally let the update fail.
[Verizon LG G4] chefdementia:
Both our phones downloaded 13b this morning, and asked to install. It never asked to download, just install. But I don't really care, in the long run. Not sure why some are trying to stop this update ,it's not like it's 6.0 coming to wreak your phones!
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Because if your phone is rooted, the install will fail and if someone does not want the update yet the nagging notification can become a PITA :) .
[Verizon LG G4] gkaz24:
Just use Titanium Backup to disable "software" update or something of that sort. I can't remember the exact name because I just unrooted to go to 13b (from 11a) . But after i froze both of those I never received any update notifications!
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
The question many have is what needs to be frozen on 13B to make it not take updates? Let us know if you figure that out.
[Verizon LG G4] gkaz24:
Just a quick question before I make the jump.... I have been on 11a rooted and xposed, I loved the phone except the touchscreen issues. My question is, does this actually fix the touchscreen issues or is it just the effect where it feels better because you just factory resetted or something.

Also, can I install xposed on this version once I inject root?
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Too many people have said it fixes touchscreen and wifi for it to be placebo effect, so you tell us after you upgrade :) .

Make sure you use framework file v22, then Xposed will work on 13B.
[Verizon LG G4] gkaz24:
If the touchscreen is fixed and I can have my Xposed I will finally love this phone. Did you install xposed once on 13b? Just want to make sure that someone has successfully flashed it via flashfire?
[Verizon LG G4] pkopalek:
No luck yet here. I don't see anything with the word Software OR update. I'll hunt through other LG G4 device forums later tonight after work.

http://imgur.com/6ieyTBw
[Verizon LG G4] gkaz24:
Are you running xposed?
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Twice.

First I installed v23 — don't do that.

Then after it didn't work, I installed framework v22 for profit :) .
[Verizon LG G4] gkaz24:
Awesome! So for clarification, xposed flashed via flashfire works and touchscreen issues are solved!?!? What a glorious day!

What root method did you use?
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Yes, but YMMV :) .

I took the hardest way : http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586

You don't have to. Don't forget the thanks button ;) .
[Verizon LG G4] pkopalek:
Yes. Really just G4 tweaks and Gravity box, but I don't think I'm using any gravity box options.
[Verizon LG G4] Katmeat:
The following is the procedure that I used on 11A to freeze system updates, and I followed the same procedure on 13B, though there is no way to know for sure if it works until Verizon pushes out another update. That said, I believe that it will work, because selecting system updates from settings brings up a notice that the update service has stopped.

BTW, I have not installed exposed yet because the smoothness and battery life on this phone now is superb. Battery life took too big of a hit on 11 A after I installed exposed.

"To block OTA updates, I used root Explorer to navigate to System/priv-app/LGDMSClient/ LGDMSClient.apk

I then amended the name of the LGDMSClient.apk by adding “amend” at the front

I also used Titanium to freeze two apps, both named System updates 1_14_10_0"
[Verizon LG G4] pkopalek:
Thank you for that!

And FYI, the recent versions of XPosed have solved the battery issue, 100%

Edit: THIS WORKED PERFECTLY! Even renaming it while the download notification was still there, afterward I long press the notification, and now it's a really generic looking icon. And it hasn't come back after reboot. Thank you so much!
[Verizon LG G4] tpjets62:

Last time I was rooted, it was version 75, now it's up to v78. Will 78 work on 13B using v22 of it?

[Verizon LG G4] player911:
Yea big big big improvement on the touchscreen and responsiveness. Never had a problem with Wi-Fi (went from 11A to 13A). 12A only had the problem and was yanked. Only a small portion were affected who actually received it.

He doesn't need to KDZ since he is on 11A stock. He just needs to take OTA update and he will keep all his info, data and settings. Then he can root afterwards if he wants :)
[Verizon LG G4] gkaz24:
This isn't a KDZ, this is a prerooted 13b image
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
Huh, what are you talking about? This is what he asked below.

Someone else told him to KDZ down bellow

Since he is currently on stock 11A, the easiest way for him to get 13B and root later if he wants is to take the OTA update, which is what I said down below.

Edit: My bad on reading comprehension. The link was to a debloated 13B image, not a KDZ which is what you are talking about. haha, my bad :)

Either way, my advice was correct, I just thought the post was about a KDZ since when you click on it, it has big red letters about a KDZ,

Edit2: Actually, NVM, now I remember! He CANNOT CANNOT flash a 13B rooted image if he is still on 11A. He NEEDS to either take the OTA update or use a 13B KDZ. If he does that take a rooted 13B image while on 11A, he will bust up his phone because his kernel/bootloader will not get updated through the rooted image and then not match up with the software version. I'm pretty sure :D
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
The only reason you need to KDZ first if:

You are on rooted 11A

However, you can also just restore a stock system image.

You have to be stock unrooted before the OTA will flash. You have to take the 13A OTA to update your phone to support the 13A images. Once you are 13A stock, you can either root or flash the prerooted/debloated rom posted above.

I dont think a direct 11A to 13A will work.
[Verizon LG G4] molonlabe505:
I apologize, as I am sure the answer to my question is posted already, but i need a dumbed down version...

I took the 12a OTA. I was rooted and had to do a Normal flash via the LG Flash Tool to restore the stock system partition for the update to install. I have to say I love it now. Battery is better than 11a but I notice the most drastic improvement is in the stock LG keyboard and touch responsiveness. I was using Google keyboard since the LG keyboard was soooo laggy. I cant get mine to miss touches now. It's registered every touch since the update and the LG keyboard is now very responsive. This is just my experience on my own device.

Anyone see the 12a KDZ floating around anywhere?
[Verizon LG G4] natec003:

I have to say I took the plunge after deciding that the battery life couldn't possibly get much worse on my device. I'm actually glad I did, because so far, battery life is much better. It's been on battery for 6 hours now, played a couple resource intensive games that seem to drain the battery fast (clash of clans and Empires and Allies), normal screen on time for checking email and stuff....and the battery is only at 71% with the majority being used by Android system.

On 11a I'd easily be close to 45%-50%....possibly lower.

I haven't noticed any issues with notifications yet. Time will tell.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
