Verizon OTA 11C

[blindguyinanorgy]

Has anyone done the OTA update from verizon?

I expect that I will lose root, but can I get it back the same way I did with 10B?

Dont do it.

I got my G3 about 4 days ago, and i immediately updated it. I think i found a way to flash back to 10b so i can root. As of now, i am unable to root with stomproot, ioroot, and purpledrake (or whatever its called). I have no idea what would happen if a rooted g3 with 10b upgraded to 11c.

Maybe towel root would work

Towel root didn't work for 10b

Please refer to your Verizon G3 forums - http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general. There are several threads there that talk about the OTA update, why it is not good to take OTA updates, and luckily for you a method for getting back to 10b.

Consider yourself lucky. There is no guarantee that you will be able to downgrade after taking an OTA update. Blindly taking updates is a great way to loose root and bump in the future.

Almost every thread that shows you how to root and bump tells you to not take updates, c'mon guys they are telling you to protect your device.

I didn't think there was a verizon thread last time i looked (months ago). Someone please move this thread.

Not lucky, I know to ask first, hence this thread.

I didnt realize how for the community has come on custom flashing since I got my phone and rooted it. Definitely need to spend some time seeing what we got.

I did the update last night. I can confirm that the update did not remove my root and in fact the update only was to make the phone run more smoothly.

It didn't remove root, but it is currently unrootable. This means that if you should loose root somehow, you will not be able to get it back. I HIGHLY suggest you go to the Verizon G3 forum and read all the threads there. You can get all the benefits of the update without loosing the root method via the methods there.

I don't know how many times this has been said, but apparently there are still a ton of dumb people out there.......

NEVER TAKE AN OTA UPDATE IF YOU LIKE BEING ROOTED OR IF YOU EXPECT TO RETAIN THE ABILITY TO BUMP
