How do I flash the kdz only? It does not show up as an option in my LGup app. Sorry, it's like I've developed flashing amnesia... LOL

Edit: OK, got it. Choose UPGRADE and not REFURBISH
Edit #2: Upgrade using KDZ worked, but wiped my phone. Downloaded OTA, rebooted, and "updating software (1/2)", then (2/2) in progress. Looks promising.
Edit #3: And we're good to go!
First tick upgrade, point to KDZ, close the program, then reopen it. File should still be pointed to, you can now tick refurbish and begin.

Before I rooted I received tapatalk and xda premium notifications via gmail and through the forums. After I rooted, every now and then I will receive a forum notification but no email notifications, and vise versa....yes, my notifications are set up. I'm just wondering if it's the tapatalk app, and xda premium app? Seems odd that both apps are acting strange.

Hi, I registered to ask this question:
I followed the steps and successfully rooted my phone, but now I can't receive any texts. I can send texts, make and receive calls, and my mobile data works, but I cannot receive texts. Any idea why this is/what I can do to fix it? I redid the root process several times hoping it would fix it, but it has done no good. I even tried to factory reset my phone, but the root stayed and the texts were still broken. Please help.
EDIT: Nevermind, I'm an idiot. If you actually flash the .kdz file like the instructions tell you to, you won't have the problems that I had hahaha.
TLDR: Follow all directions including flashing KDZ!!!

Just to verify, to flash back to non root, all I have to do is flash the stock KDZ using the upgrade option in the LGUP program?
Yes, you flash the stock KDZ to unroot. It must be a hard wipe for it to actually work. The only thing that you will notice is that it will take about 2 hours for the entire backend from Verizon to update to allow you to upgrade to Android 6. I also reccomend restoring your backup before you upgrade to Android 6.

Ugg, I hate hard wipes, but so be it. I don't have a reliable non root backup program, so I will just have to re-download everything I have and then wait to do my update later today.
Thanks for the update.

The easiest non-rooted backup program available is LGBackup. Just go to settings then Backup/Restore. It's so easy.

Congrats on the Senior Member Tag!!!
I flashed the kdz, but it didn't wipe my device. Am I supposed to use Refurbish? or Upgrade?

You are supposed to go to the upgrade section, attach the kdz file to the program, then you click refurbrish and start it.

Also, Please check the MD5 of your download before attempting to flash.
If your downloaded file does not match, DO NOT FLASH IT.

MD5 for the rar: 301d91c390ab3797c29d3b3e32f0e673 file size: 1,593,816 kb
MD5 for the extracted tot: 64c836bda08eba9341221ef261b942e5 file size: 4,388,352 kb
Use this tool to calculate the MD5 http://www.winmd5.com/

Anyone able to PM me a stock build.prop, and a way to flash it or push it with ADB that doesn't need an SU shell? Something borked my DPI while restoring my apps, and 1mm text on a cropped screen is..... annoying :/ And I can't figure out how to grant the ADB shell root privileges, phone boots fine, but I can't get past the "SystemUI has crashed" alert to grant via SuperSU :(

If I take the update and am unimpressed, can I gain root by refurbing kdz back to 11b then upgrading the rooted tot?
Just wanted to make sure that mm didn't mess with anything and have me locked in.

Haven't seen any news about downgrading, not at this time

I keep getting this error

I keep getting the same error at 9% in LGUP on the rooted tot. Can flash 11b kdz fine and have drivers setup properly. What was the resolution on yours?

Update:
Download in post#1 was 1,593,906 kb and gave error. Download in post #7 was 1,593,816 kb and worked. Suspect bad download since there was no hash to verify with.

Come to find out the tot didn't finish downloading and I thought that it did, @tungkick helped me, via Team viewer. All he done was re-download the tot. Once he re-download for me it worked fine.

I was getting this error. Try flashing the 11b kdz in upgrade mode first. Then try the rooted 11b tot. Seemed to work for me.
