I'm going to buy a G2 on Saturday (D801) and I'd like to know how to downgrade it to KitKat. Lollipop seems problematic in terms of trying to root, install TWRP, and flashing CM12.1. On KitKat I could just use Towelroot and AutoRec (simplicity, we need it!). So please, if you can teach me how to do this, that'd be amazing. Thank you.

Hi Guys.
I have couple of questions. aBOUT TO an LG g3. do i have to root on kitkat or on lollipop? is there a difference.? Can I use CWM or only twrp is working as recovery? I understand that if install twrp then I can not upgrade to lollipop over the air.
What else should I know before i start playing with it? I used to use slimrom on my previous phone. Is there any rom similar to that?
Thanks
Hey guys. I am curious as how we can currently root the AT&T LG G3 on the D85020L software and how to install TWRP as well. I had previously done that on KitKat but I had decided to go back to stock because of CM12 bugs. However, I am looking to do it again, and I want to know how to properly do it. Thanks. Btw, does AutoRec still work on this build?

Will the root thread for 5.0.2 still work for 5.1.1? I'm new to Samsung, coming from the LG G2 and just wanted to make sure before doing any rooting. Thanks.
Take a look at this thread:
Wicked One ROM
Take it as far as you want, but I would at least go to the install of TWRP Recovery.
Just wondering if there's a thread I can follow about anyone working on lollipop 5.0.2 root. News, updates, anything really. Want to be able to root as soon as someone figures it out. Ota removed root from lg gpad 7.0 v410 now running 5.0.2 kernel 3.4.0+.
I've tried every method available, with no success.
Is there any way i can downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.0.1?
I'm using the latest update from SmartSwich The PH1
i want to root my device pls if someone knows
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but there is no way to downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.0.1 and no root for this device on 6.0.1 at this time.
Do a search next time, it's been asked over and over
THERE IS NO WAY TO DOWNGRADE TO 5.0.1 ONCE YOU GO PASS THAT.
VERIZON ****ING DOES NOT GIVE A **** ABOUT YOU OWNING THAT PHONE.
So please file a fcc complaint.
So just to make sure I'm understanding things... If I find an S6 on eBay that's still on Lollipop, there's hope to root it?
