v20d + root?

I'm on V20b + unlocked bootloader + twrp + root.

I've received v20d update, my question is:

When I change recovery from twrp to factory, I must unroot to upgrade?

After upgrade, is root for v20d possible.

I've compared my v20b with friend's v20d, the only difference I've noticed is security level date.

Is it possible that my old root from v20b will be working in v20d (after installing of course)?

Regards

dumberek

They have just changed the way we see how much space it takes, It didn't take more space for me from V20A to V20D, but it did to V10C to V20A, so that's why I did a factory reset from V10C to V20A.

I have a Taiwan Version of the G4 (LG-H815), Stock FW is now V20b-TWN-XX

Can I flash the EUR 20D with KDZ and LG Up without Problems?
[G4 General] diego9016:
I have v20d on my H815P for two days now, battery life is worse than with v20c. I had great results with v20c EUR. :/
[G4 General] Cloudstrife:
I have the 815 eur XX v20d and battery for me is the same as 20a. It's ok...

wonder how people get 5hr screen on time?! They have their screen on lowest possible brightness or something??
[G4 General] Bramzzz:
Usually my screen is on 35% brightness unless I'm outside, furthermore I turn off everything I don't use, so no bluetooth at home, no WiFi outside my house and such things..

Also deleted the Facebook app and use a shortcut to the webpage through Chrome, which helps out a lot! Turning off the location for Google apps works out well too.

5 hours SoT is something I get on a daily basis now I'm on 20d ;)

It's a bit early to tell but for me battery seems stronger, back to 5.1.1 level. Will report again later !

Battery life is up 20-30% on 20d over 20a on my H815, according to gsam. All of my upgrades have been via Bridge and OTA.

Yesterday i upgrade to marshmallow and now i see that my external SD have some strange name with digits instead of external sd like they have before.

Do you also have numbers in name for external SD?
[G4 General] noflip:
Hello,

I live n Bulgaria. I recently updated my phone to V20a using LGBridge, but I've been unhappy with the battery life. Some of my friends also have G4 and yesterday they received OTA update from Lollipop to V20d. Unfortunately I am unable to update, because the phone says that it is up to date when I try through OTA. Same goes for LGBridge. It seem that for now I am stuck with V20a unless I flash it through LGUP, but I do not want to reset my phone at this point.
[G4 General] doomalikaw99:
Just wait and pray!And check for updates daily.
[G4 General] Alecs_Tm:
You can flash with LG UP and click Upgrade in Program to update from v20a,to v20d without losing anything! And without resetting.
[G4 General] Lonzo_SGS2_506:
And you can back up everything on your SD if you have one. Then restore it from there. Super easy! I have done it a couple of times.
[G4 General] nismo929:

[G4 General] xdaboobs:
let me tell you a true story - i have a euro phone in the UK and since i bought it last year i have never had an OTA update and i check software update occasionally.

phone was purchased "outright", no locks, contracts or anything, and i'm on 5.1 version V10d-EUR-XX and have been since day 1.

think i'm the last dinosaur with this one haha! but yeah OTA updates seems broken.
[G4 General] Deepcuts:
Just got the OTA 20d today.

Orange Network, Romania. Bought the phone free of contract.
[G4 General] shineyads:
Got my H815 back from LG today after bootloop bug (main board replaced) - had upgraded to V20a before problem and got same version when received back. Done OTA and found V20d. Upgraded ok but yet to notice much difference (however I haven't had it for a week, so anything is quicker than the back up phone I've been using!)
[G4 General] kingdave82:
I got the V20D-EUR-XX update today. Too early to tell if the promised improvements to battery life are there.

I am pissed off though that the update uninstalled a load of apps I had on the phone. My homescreen is covered in black squares with the Android logo in which say "app not installed" when clicked on. I can't even remember which app was in which position on the home screen or which ones are missing from certain folders that are now empty.

Edit: Luckily I had taken a load of screen shots in case I needed to factory reset a couple of weeks ago. While it is largely in date there were a few extra apps I had installed since then that were in the app drawer, but 22 apps had been uninstalled because of this update. Thanks LG, nothing I like better than fixing your changes to my device.
[G4 General] axy76:
Sunday I received V20e, Romania- Orange.
[G4 General] goran_oh:

[G4 General] xdaboobs:
Ahhh that makes me nervous. I got an update notification today (in UK btw). First update since I bought it haha.

Let's see if I have the same problem as you.

Is your bootloader unlocked? Different recovery or anything modified at all?
[G4 General] ciprigeorgiu:
After updating to v20d I didn't lose a single app. All were in same place. But I did do a general reset after the update to have a clean install. I suggest to do the same.
[G4 General] kingdave82:
I have an absolutely stock, unlocked European version of the phone. Bought direct from giffgaff in the UK, haven't rooted or done anything with the bootloader. Aside from adding apps and updates from LG it is exactly as it came out of the box.

the only thing I would recommend is SIM unlocked and a Factory reset after install
[G4 General] xdaboobs:
Got some bad news for you [MENTION=4339112]kingdave82[/MENTION] looks like you have an isolated issue.

I upgraded mine yesterday and had no problem. Did it via the software update on the phone, everything works as normal with no need for reset.

Sorry mate but on the plus side a fatory reset should fix it. Don't forget to sync your apps data, contacts etc..
[G4 General] davebugyi:
Well, it is rooted an having exposed since a long time.

Risk to install 6 or remain at 5.1?!?

For those who have 6: is lag in the camera !?

Battery life is better or worse than 5.1 ?
[G4 General] sstanton86:
Hi mate, seems to depend on the individual. I'm on v20d, android m, and for me I get 5 hours sot. With lollipop I could barely hit 3 hours. It's snappier and feels better. I'd say do the upgrade, but others could tell you different depending on their experience.
[G4 General] ady1986:
hi thanks

a question : in camera is lag ?
[G4 General] sstanton86:
I've seen other people mention this lag. But I can't answer, as I don't get it at all. Mine is quick and speedy. Maybe I don't realise because I came from a ****ty Sony xenia z5, which did lag.
[G4 General] ady1986:

hope update andro 6 and never problem camera or battery
[G4 General] colemarc:
Note that LG recommends a factory reset after update to Marshmallow. Some users reported problems after OTA update without reset.

Note also that a factory reset erases the external SD card also, at least it did for me.
[G4 General] bobsie41:
.....only if you tick 'erase external sd' when you factory reset ;)
[G4 General] colemarc:
I cannot remember having ticked that checkbox. Since it is off by default, I believe it was not checked.

Now I have another problem: I unlocked the bootloader (official method), installed (fastboot flash recovery) twrp-3.0.0-0-h815.img, rebooted into custom recovery ... all going good until this point ...

flashed Update-SuperSU-v2.46.zip ==> reboot ... stuck at the LG logo!!! :crying:

The phone doesn't even turn off with the power key.

Removed the battery, booted in custom recovery (power+voldown, wait for logo, release power, press power, YES, YES), did a factory reset wipe, rebooted ... same problem!!! :mad:

I already had v20d (MarshMallow) before bootloader unlock. Anybody rooted with this method after the last OTA?

My fault, I used too old a version. With UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip all seems good.
[G4 General] bender_007:
use supersu 2.52 at least
[G4 General] colemarc:
Yes, sorry, my fault.

[G4 General] Lonzo_SGS2_506:
Guys as it was explained before battery life will depend of many things. One that is certainly the culprit is data... Depending on the country it will be harder for the radio to get signal and this gentlemen might blow your battery AF. Opposite case while using WiFi... It happens to me and one of my friends, he is in different carrier and he has way better battery life. Is a fact. I understand it now. Peace!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaltonHeintz:
Alright, so I recently got a Note 3 handed down to me, and I've been messing around with it. I've been using roms that would be compatible with the N900W8, however, I seem to be having some issues with NFC (I'm aware of AOSP roms not supporting NFC along with N9005), so I restored back to stock. Thinking that it may be a refurbished model from the states I checked the back, and under the battery was the sticker showing N900W8. However, I also noticed the rear panel shows "N900A" along with the AT symbol. Would I happen to have the US Note 3? Or is it indeed the Canadian Note?

Any help is appreciated!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NorthernBolshevik:
So it'll simply update the Rom without data loss?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Technically it should do a dirty flash.

Rom zips don't usually have a wiping procedure incorporated. That is usually left to be done by the user, manually.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NorthernBolshevik:
But it still gives me options for installing new/different features(different browser, system apps etc...). I made a update.zip backup just in case. All I'm worried about is bootloop.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
It will probably replace the existing ones.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] facuarmo:
I'm sorry to tell you that it sounds like a hardware problem, were you restoring or backing up? (it's really important for me to know that)

If you were backing up, and then you removed the battery and phone suddenly decided to not boot anymore, I'm sorry, hardware problem. If you were restoring and after battery pull it refused booting, I hope you try flashing over Odin, but there's not much chance.

Hope you have luck!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radu430:
Hello,

I have a HTC one M8 from Orange(if that is something you'd like to know)

I rooted it a couple of months ago,being amazed by the number of new things you could do with a rooted phone. What I didn't take into account is that it doesn't let you recieve OTA updates. I replaced the stock recovery with TWRP and used superSU. Once I decided that I didn't want to remain with android 5.0.1,I pressed the "unroot" option in superSU's app. The thing is that I didn't know that it did not replace the TWRP with the stock recovery.

Yesterday,I recieved a notification from andriod,asking me to download the 6.0 update. I downloaded it,pressed install and the phone rebooted into TWRP. It didn't start the update,but It says in the TWRP "log" or whatever that E: failed to sysMapFile 'somethingsomething' and it failed to install the same file.

I checked bootloader and my phone is unlocked and with S-on

I am scared to do anything right now. I don't wanna brick my phone. I'm not sure if I want to replace the TWRP recovery not because of fear of losing the root,but because of fear of bricking the device completely. I also don't know about flashing the OTA update form my computer.

Any suggestions?I don't care if I lose the root,I just want my 6.0 update c:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirreer:
Well, there are many ways to skin a cat; flashing official OTA using TWRP isn't one of them.

You need to have stock recovery to complete the OTA upgrade. AFAIK, your orange device (cid 032) is covered by stock WWE firmware (x.x.401.x). Your hboot 3.19 tells me you're running lollipop firmware.

So, without much ado:

1. Follow the link below to Mike's FW thread, then follow the instructions to download and flash lollipop firmware 4.16.401.10

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2696282

2. Check for software updates, and OTA yourself up to Marshmallow.
