ioroot13 is out. maybe that can be used to root the new OTA? i would try it myself but my phone is messed up and im waiting for my replacement
I was running 11A on the stock ROM / stock recovery / rooted with "Survival mode" enabled in SuperSU, just took the 12B update, and it installed successfully while retaining root status.
incorrect, I did that and then took the update and its showing as rooted...I believe I should still be able to get kit kit when it comes out OTA right? again I was rooted, did the stock back step by step and then when I took this update it showed rooted.
I get an error "Err:0X1111004"
I am rooted, I have used VooDoo to unroot, reboot, then try the OTA still get same error. Same error each time I try the OTA.
How or were can we get stock recovery?

Did you by chance replace HotspotProvision.apk with the one that doesn't check with Verizon? I had done that, and when I moved the stock file and the .odex file back into place, I stopped getting the error and the update went. Root was preserved and I was able to put the modified .apk back.

thanks dude! I temp un-rooted with voodoo, hotspot is still working and root wasn't broken.
I pulled down the update, scheduled install for later, then moved all the files,to a dummy folder on my sdcard and froze the updater. File itself is 173M & it's a .bin so if someone wants to take a look shoot me a pm

Yes yes and yes. Thank you very much for that info. I am pretty sure I even saved the old files, so I will try that.
Thank you very much!!

Again thank you very much. I put the old files back, ran the OTA, it worked fine, never lost root. Rebooted, put the Hot Spot files back in place tested the phone and everything is good. !!!!!
Merry Christmas !!!!!
Dang...can't find my original hot spot files...
Edit...I think I found them can anyone verify the original apk is about 69.05kb
I decided to start from square 1 and see how things went. Performed the verizon return to stock (the one with the tot file). Then I took the 2 OTA updates. I downloaded ioroot13 and tried to root, but it said I didn't have a supported version. I opened up the .bat file and found the verizon section and added a new line to direct performing the vzwotaroot for 12B (if %OTAVER%==VS98012B GOTO VZWOTARoot). I crossed my fingers and ran it. It worked. I performed a root check and it passed. The phone said "ROOTED". I was able to modify system files. Haven't had much time to play around to make sure everything works fine, but I don't see why it wouldn't.
The one thing I am still working on is the custom recovery. The loki flash method does not seem to work. When I go to flash it tells me something like "Loki aboot version does not match device." I tried using flashify to flash the recovery but it seemed to prevent my device from booting so I did the whole thing over again. Might try flashify again but use the flash zip method instead.

Be careful, I have an S3 and the latest ota is bricking phones if you try to unlock bootloader. Not sure if it's a Samsung or a Verizon thing, or a combination of both. I have had my eye on the G2 though... Looks nice.

Replacing the modified provision for the stock one did the trick. I re-installed the modified provision after the OTA and all is well again. Thanks for that suggestion, I had my suspicions. I never installed superuser and was able to keep root, FYI.
Hey doublej,
Glad to hear root worked for you on the new OTA 12B. I would like to try what you did but just wanted to make sure I understand.
I got ioroot14 and looking at it I see.
PHP::VZWRoot echo Found VZW phone! echo. echo Checking OTA version... for /f %%i in ('.\adb.exe shell getprop ro.lge.swversion') do set OTAVER=%%i if %OTAVER%==VS98010B GOTO VZWStockRoot if %OTAVER%==VS98011A GOTO VZWOTARoot GOTO VZWNoMatch
So all you did was change it to the below and save then run it and you were rooted?

Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thank you.
