You won't be able to upgrade your LG G pro lite directly from the phone (via OTA) if your phone is already root, the solution is to use the LG mobile support tool.
For those who not yet upgrade to kitkat, here's little guide on how to upgrade LG G pro lite using LG mobile support tool.
You need to download 811 MB of data if you want to upgrade your LG G pro lite using LG mobile support tool.
If you having trouble downloading this 811 MB data, then it must be because you have slow internet connection, so make sure you have fast internet access.
I experienced fail few times, then i switch to different network carrier (i used 3G connection for this upgrade) and download during midnight and finally it works :)
Next after the 811 MB data downloaded, LG mobile support tool will begin to extract the data (software extraction), it takes a while, so be patient.
Next it will start upgrading the phone, in my case this doesn't work well, the LG mobile support tool says "upgrade stop due to an error". And then there are instructions, like this :
To try upgrade again, follow the steps below :
- Disconnect the phone from PC and remove the battery from the phone.
- Insert the battery back and reconnect the phone to PC.
- Turn on the phone.
- Press the Retry button below to start the upgrade.
I had to do this couple times before the software upgrade finally start, on the phone it will says "download mode" or something like that.
Wait until the software upgrade reach 100%, the phone will reboot, and you will see the android upgrading message on the phone, you can unplug the cable.
Congratulation, your LG G pro lite have been upgraded to kitkat 4.4.2. Wait, we're not finish yet, you still need to backup all your data and then do the factory hard reset.
If you don't do factory hard reset after upgrading to kitkat, you will experienced lag, sluggish, and the battery life is shorter than before.
So do factory hard reset !! if you don't know how to do it, read my article about how to do factory hard reset on LG G pro lite.

hi diego,
Deleteif you upgrade to kitkat, the root on your phone will be gone/removed, since link2sd and dir bind requires root permission, you won't be able to use it anymore after upgrade, you will lose all apps and gamedata, and yes this is official kitkat 4.4.2 from LG
After the update we are officially allowed 2 moves apps 2 sd so there is no need of link 2 sd anymore.....
