So, like a lot of people I got my phone brand new and three days later I rooted it and started playing with it. However, I didn't know this phone was going to be so unpopular that the development of aftermarket software is practically nonexistent. So, about a month after playing with it, I start getting hounded by my phone to do the OTA update. However, I can't because its rooted and I get an error code that is very common on LG phones. Apparently LG doesn't like people messing with their stuff. Ever since then I have had a little gear in the status bar telling me there is an update (that I can't install) and I want it to either go away or find out how to trick the phone into applying the update so that I can have the update. I don't care about losing root since there is nothing going on right now anyways. And I really don't have $100 to pay for a replacement (through insurance if it gets "broken" lol)
