[Q] Can you ROOT G2 4.4.2 yet? Tried with ioroot

I was wondering if rooting is possible on T-mobile's LG G2 yet on the 4.4.2 KitKat update. I had root privileges before and then when I updated I lost them. I'm not interested in going back to 4.2.2. Then I came across ioroot25, claiming to have added support for 4.4.2 devices. The process was only like 2 steps, the first being to root into recovery. Whenever I try to do that I see the little android dude on my screen for a fraction of a second saying something like installing system update (main point being, the root batch file from ioroot25 isn't getting the device to go into recovery, meaning I CAN'T accept the adb update, which was step two)
ANY SOLUTION?

From what I understand, the d801 is the only device that there's this problem with. It doesn't work at the moment but they're working on a fix for it.
Freegee is working for recovery now tho once u get root.

Yeah, really sucks... T-Mobile is a no go atm. No way to boot into stock recovery from 4.4.2

For all other G2 models, the ioroot method (version 25) works. One prerequisite for that method is access to recovery. We (d801 owners) do not have access to recovery. Attempts to access recovery are being documented in the thread titled "[Please Read] We need help to try and find out how to get into stock 4.4 recovery!" Keep your eye on that thread. If we can get access to recovery, we can use ioroot.

20y stock recovery or flashable zip for 5.0.2?

Does anyone has the stock recovery for the 20y firmware they post (should have backed it up) or a flashable zip via TWRP for the latest 5.0.2 OTA?
I do not necessarily want to to a restore to stock (painful procedure) just to get the stock recovery to flash the OTA. If someone has made a flashable zip for the OTA update that works via TWRP that would be best. :good:

No one has a backup of the 20y recovery? Or will a 20c recovery work with a mostly stock 20y ROM with root and autorec? Just do not want a bricked device.
Any chances we will get a simple twrp flashable zip file for the update soon?

I followed the directions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369&page=30#post60156407 to go to 20c. I then immediately installed towel root and let it rain. I immediately then checked for an OTA update and there was one, so I let it download and install; that was 20y. Once it rebooted I immediately checked for updates again and now it is currently downloading what I imagine to be 30f (lollipop).
Update: Indeed it was 30f (LP). I am going to let it stabilize and then do a factory reset just for kicks.
For anyone watching, I lost root this way.
Oh, well.

Thanks vween, will give this a shot when I find some time.
Just curious on why the need to towel root just to get the OTA ? Or is that strictly optional?

Autorec up for D800 Lollipop on Playstore which should help? BTW, I imagine you are using ATT? that the OTA came? I keep hearing that it will not show up to those who are not using ATT. I know the custom method of OTA upgrade but... just wondering whether OTA auto would work for those outside ATT/USA.

Yes, ATT.
Just curious, how would Autorec help with root?

Heh, yeah that wouldn't help with root since you need root for Autorec/TWRP. Anyhow, try below:

You have to force do the OTA.
(1) You are on 20c now, so go ahead and update forcefully to 20y. Download this:http://d-h.st/VJzP and then use the "dlpkgfile" inside the said archive. How to force OTA is mentioned in this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g2/general/update-to-stock-lolipop-d80030f-root-t3084081
Once you are upgraded to 20y then go ahead and follow the Lollipop OTA link in above mentioned topic, updating to Lollipop.

Ok, i understand a little better now.So i should use ADB in SDK/Platform-tool to give it the command codes while its connected to computer?
update: am finally booting into lollipop on my G2,it was rather easy to do just a little worry to mess up my device but in the end it was worth it,much appreciation to you again and your help.

Marshmallow!

With the update coming sometime in the near future, what does that mean for us with rooted phones? More specifically, us losers who are on the Puerto Rican rom.
I imagine if we update we lose root, but is there any way we can get back on the American AT&T H810 after the update comes out?

I just got the phone from Craig's list. When I got home and I did more research I realized I got screwed. They sold me the PR version of the phone. At least I got it for 280 unlocked and no scratches almost new.

Yikes sorry! Do you have the green spot issue in the camera? It's a decent rom save for that issue. Allows you to get rid of everything (bloatware). I've been dying to add xposed, but without being able to back anything up makes it a little iffy. AT&T seems to be the worst when it comes to allowing their devices to be unlocked.

If LG releases a KDZ for ATT you can. However, even those of us who are on att firmware can't take OTA updates after rooting (even if flashing an unrooted system img). LGs root checker tool flags the system on the /persist partition

This means that you will have to UN-Root your phone. Download & install the update. Put your phone into download mode. DD if=OS of=Backup.img
Then root that backup (Or get it from someone who posted it on an XDA Root site)
Once it is rooted, then DD if=RootedOS of=OS (Disk dump it back to the phone)
Now you have a rooted Marshmellow OS on your phone.

Please also know, once you root, you will NOT be able to take any future OTA Updates. Even if you flash back your unrooted System.img.
LG's Root Checker Tool prevents this. You can read more about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-...lysis-t3229175

this is false. i was rooted on 10g, i unrooted and flashed stock system.img and took the update to 10o just fine.
you need to do a few things to prepare first
1) unfreeze any apps you may have frozen with debloater/titanium/greenify/etc
2) disable and uninstall any xposed modules
3) uninstall xposed (if you have it)
4) uninstall flashfire (if you have it)
5) uninstall any root apps (aside from supersu)
6) open supersu, uncheck "enable superuser" and then select full unroot, than reboot
7) download and flash the stock system.img for whatever firmware you are currently rooted on
8) now your unrooted and you may update via ota
this thread will help for flashing, just make sure you use the stock version of your current firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586

easily done, check my post above. after you take the ota to 10o you will just need to root that basically the same way you did with 10g

I completed those steps, however right at 4% still getting error 0x1123004.
I re-rooted just to make sure everything was unfrozen etc, uninstalled everything, then flashed unrooted image back, still giving the error.
Guess i'll have to wait for another method.

LG G4 Marshmellow Update

Hey everyone,
So I found online that the AT&T update to Marshmellow started on 2-8-16. I haven't been able to find anything officially from AT&T but apperently the version is H81020n and its 971 MB. Has anyone gotten the update yet?

Just saw this thread and figured I'd check. Went into the update center and notification popped up for new 950mb update. Must be it cause I was already on 10o. Didn't even have to use LG Bridge like the other carrier guys were doing.
Will post back with an update once completed

It's official now. You can check it at http://www.att.com/esupport/article...are&siteId=JAF5WzpxbKM-2ZjtzA2obzUjSzdgu.LzJA
I just wonder if I can update via LG Bridge without an AT&T sim since I bought a second hand one and don't have AT&T sim now.

I would have done this but didn't even think about it when I saw the update come through. Was happy to finally be getting 6.0
Hopefully somebody else can help you with that.
I fell asleep during the update process but just finished running the Debloater tool and getting rid of all the att/lg junk! So far so good. Will be keeping an eye on battery life over the next couple days.

Debloater does not need root as long as you are running KitKat or newer :good:. Without root it just freezes/disables the apps instead of completely removing them.

not possible. you can't modify the system files and boot without a modified kernel. We don't have an unlocked bootloader, so no kernels, thus no root.
if you root MM your phone will just loop without the custom kernel.

so the file it downloaded isn't a zip... it's just 'dlpkgfile'

That's the missing piece I needed to understand. Thanks! Sucks, but thanks! :highfive:

got it! looks good to me - so far...

I upgraded early yesterday morning and my phone has been hot almost all the time!! The battery life is way worse than prior to the upgrade. I have cleaned out all my junk files and cache rebooted and recharged a few times. Also optimized my apps a few times. I just picked up my phone after 2 hours of no use and it was warm and the battery is draining at a faster rate than with Lollipop... Anybody else experiencing this?

Awesome, glad the update is out....I haven't done the update just yet...waiting to see if we hear anything about root. I'm wondering if we are still able to downgrade via TOT method if need be...if that's the case then i'll update ASAP. I actually have heard that there are some battery issues with the update, but again I'm not on 6.0 yet so I can't tell you from my experience.

2 questions
So their is no root ?
Also can I just unistall SuperSU and update or do I need to wait tell I'm home and flash a clean image

I've never managed to update w/o flashing the unrooted version of whatever rooted version I'm running. If there's an easier way, I'm not aware of it.

Help, H950 flash to stock for OTA Update?

EDIT: Looks like its not MM but some security update, so that sucks but I'd still like to know if anyone successfully got back to stock from rooted 5.1.1
Hi everyone.
I'm trying to find a way to restore my H950 to stock and completely remove any trace of root so that I can install an OTA update. I have tried installing the update with LG PC Suite and LGMobile Support Tool. Both of them say that I am on the latest software (5.1.1 H950v11?). It has been so long since I rooted it that I can't remember what method I used. If anyone has any idea how to flash it back to stock, I'd appreciate the help!
More Details:
I have an H950 (US AT&T) rooted on 5.1.1 and I just started getting an update yesterday saying that I have a system update available. When I tried to download and update, the phone I got an error while the update was still at 0%. When the phone restarted I got the "This phone is suspected in rooting..." Error.
I have tried following this thread [Guide] LG G Flex 2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ & TOT Method
but it didn't work. I got the flash utility to run but I still had SuperSU after it flashed my phone and the update still failed due to "Suspect in rooting."
I also tried following this thread [Tool] Easy Restore/Unroot Tool for LG G Flex 2 [09/15/15]!!
but I could not get it to work. The utility just hangs at "Working..."
Anyone successfully used either of these methods on an H950 with 5.1.1 to get back to stock?
Thanks in advance!

CSE flash? Sorry I didn't see that in your guide for the H950 on the AT&T network. I'm looking at your guide and not seeing the CSE Flash unless the LG Tool is the CSE FLash? I had the same problem with SuperSU left over and not able to update. I tried the default Upgrade method, then got a minios OS screen on the the Board method.

It's entirely possible that I am technologically inept, but I am having the exact same issue as the OP. I followed your guide (which was very helpful) for the TOT method, and there is no option to use CSE flash, or at least it's not discussed in the instructions.
I flashed my phone twice using your TOT guide -- pretty sure I followed it to the letter. It completed successfully, but when the phone rebooted, I still had root access. I'm not sure how to unroot this thing so I can receive OTA updates (and maybe sell later on down the road).
Thanks for the help!

Umm, so I found a possible solution on another thread in this forum. Maybe the answer was so simple that nobody thought to mention it. But apparently, you can just remove root access within the SuperUser app; just select "Full Unroot" or "Total Unroot" from settings. Then run this TOT flash, and you should be GTG. I am trying this now and will report as to whether I am successful.

Rooted or not you should be able to go back to stock. And CSE flash is for the kdz method of lg flash tool. Which I didn't realize what model they were needing help with. Also with the H950 LGUP should be used instead of normal flash tool to avoid any issues with the flash tool.

Hmm. Thanks for helping us out. So I am kind of confused. I reinstalled the Tot file using LGUP, and it completed successfully. I selected "REFURB" mode, and it completed successfully. But after it finished, my phone is still rooted. (I verified with root checker.) I just want to go back to stock so I can get OTA updates (and MM hopefully, when/if AT&T releases it). Now my phone won't get OTA updates because it says it's "suspected of rooting." I bought the phone used off of Swappa, so I'm not sure how exactly the original owner rooted it.

At this point you'd be better off waiting for a KDZ of MM when it comes out for the H950. (But remember, root will probably never be achieved for our devices on MM, if that's something you care about).
I remember buying TWO H950s. Both needed the OTA for the latest Lollipop. But despite several hours, several methods, and several hours at the ATT store, I was never able to get OTAs working on either of them. It was impossible.
And supposedly impossible for several other users on XDA, who couldn't get OTAs working for their ATT Flex 2's. So even if you manage to unroot, don't get your hopes high believing OTAs will work.

Did somebody ever able to go back to stock (H950) from rooted 5.1.1? Where did you get the TOT file?

If any member is trying to sell it on the forums report them. That's not allowed and looked down upon here. I pubically post everything I have and can get for everyone
