Help Trouble unrooting to receive OTA

[donaldsnell686]

First off, I'll post the software info.

LG Spectrum
Kernel 2.6.35.11-BlitzKrieg
Build - BrokenOut2.0
SW Version VS920ZV6

I used the all in one Spectrum tool to unroot and set stock recovery. Now I can download the OTA. However after hitting Apply Update and the phone powers off, it simply reboots with an error saying software update failed, with no specific reason as to why. Is there a way to locate the reason for this failure so that it can be addressed?

Its generally a terrible idea to unroot to take an ota. I'd suggest flashing a ROM with the updates baked in.

Thank you for the quick response! Any specific ROM with said updates that seems to be favored?

use the lg update tool to update, not ota. This worked for me when the update first launched

Well first off you can't be on a custom Rom, you have to be completely stock. Stock recovery, stock kernel

I went the way of the LG Updater. Had no need to do anything else! Thanks for the help!

You don't need to unroot to take the ota. Root access isn't something that prohibits the rom from validating the old version... It's simply a home punched into the security to allow extra access.

It updated just fine. 4.0.4 with the proper build and kernel.

update gives us a locked bootloader... so this isnt possible unless you want lag and no mms

Same here, all is well in ICS land!
