Hey Guys. So Some of you may know towelroot was just released by Geohot. I went ahead and tried it on my G2 runing stock 4.4.2 and it WORKED! I ran root checker after running the apk and it said I have full root level access. You just have to download SuperSu from market afterwards. I downloaded root explorer and was prompted with the prompt to grant root and all was well!
Link to original post: http://tinyurl.com/pykqkpt
1. Go to http://towelroot.com/
2. tap the logo for apk
3. Run the apk and follow directions within
4. After phone reboots, Install SuperSu
ALL DONE!
A side note, I haven't tried using rom manager to install custom recovery as I'm not sure if we've found a button code. If someone is willing to help me with that Id be grateful. I can't afford to brick this phone as it's my only phone work work and play.
AWESOME.
Can anyone else confirm this before we try? any bugs?
And how do I go about installing TWRP recovery (or any other suitable recovery)
All is working fine, flash twrp recovery with autorec app by cloudy.
As a side note, please donate to Dev if you can. I know i did.

It worked for me, but can we install custom roms now since we can use autorec to install twrp?
This was already posted in the top level apps section for lg g2
I tried to install recovery with an app called RecoverX, it claimed to do its job but I can't get the device to reboot to recovery. Tried holding the power/volume down like they say but it didnt work.

When I see they said it would root a S5 on VZW I was pretty hopeful. I knew this was coming real soon. But I went ahead and did it the hard way anyway.

Just to clarify, you've managed to install TWRP on your G2 and boot it into recovery with autorec? Just want to make sure before I try.
Never used autorec so if you've got a guide to link to that'd be great.

too late I used a autorec and actually got the phone to TWRP. I then proceeded (stupidly) erasing everything and wiping the device because I thought I'd be able to mount it and copy the CyanogenMod file I wanted.
Boy was I wrong.. TWRP did not allow me to mount the device to USB. And for some reason I couldn't get the right driver to install in Device Manager.
At one point I decided it would be a good idea to restart, now I'm stuck at boot loop and I can't get back into TWRP. I tried holding power+down, that forces it to restart a bunch of times. I held the UP button but that puts it into FIRMWARE UPATE mode which also doesn't allow ADB
How do I get back to TWRP? how do I flash Cyanogen mod through ADB
Any ideas please?

Hold vol down + power button until screen flashes black followed by lg screen release buttons and quickly press both again and hold. It will boot you to a white screen asking you if you want to fully factory restore...press power to agree... Since twrp replaced factory recovery it will not wipe but instead take you into twrp...takes a couple tries sometimes... You need cm and gapps packages on your internal memory to flash through twrp
If you wiped everything you will have to start over by flashing the original firmware again. It happened to me too because I didn't have the ROM I was flashing on my device already. I used this guide, http://youtu.be/Lg693AYgoTo, to flash back to stock JB, then upgrade again. Just be sure the rom is you want to flash is on your phone since USB won't work. It's no guarantee though, esp. since there is that driver error.

OK, I got it back to TWRP, but now Windows 8.1 is still saying "Windows was unable to find a driver for this device"
I installed every driver I can find. Both on the LG Website and on XDA-developers.com

What are you trying to accomplish connecting to computer?
Nevermind I forgot you can choose files from computer when connected...but yeah...may need full restore...there are a few step by step threads on here to do so
Same problem I encountered, so I just figured USB is a no go and had to do the firmware update and then start over with ROM and GAPPS on device next time.Hope you get it...it sucks with all the excitement and all the time us G2 owners had to wait!
Ugh. This sucks. this file is taking forever to download for some reason and I'm in no mood to start dealing with this ****.
I'm just going to take it to the T-Mobile store tomorrow.
It's rooted and they will check it with their diagnostic tool and tell you sorry. Just firmware update it to lose root first. Use this...easy...http://youtu.be/Lg693AYgoTo

OH wow. I ended up finding this wonderful little tool called LGMobile Support Tool which completely and automatically reset my device back to factory setting! That was SUPER easy.
So yeh i wiped and thought i had a rom to install, didnt though. mistake on my part i know. can someone link or help me install the correct drivers so i can get adb working to push a rom so i can my phone up and running again?
when i boot into recovery it is only showing up as 'AOSP ON HAMMERHEAD' with the little yellow error triangle in device manager.
like i said i just need help getting a rom pushed on my phone
EDIT: im thinking about just restore stock unroot cause you can just do it from fastboot. is there anyway to get my data off before that or would you suggest just pushing a rom?
Google 15 second adb install xda. Should be everything you need. Then push a rom onto your device.

Edit, if you get adb working you could pull your sdcard. Personally I think it's easier to get a rom working and then using mtp to drag and drop what you want off your sdcard to your pc

Restart both the devices and try again. If that doesn't work again then
download the latest google drivers and try with them.
edit-http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
But since its working for you when android is booted I see no reason for it not working in recovery mode. obv it needs to be installed correctly. Btw what recovery r u using?

Have you ever installed the ADB drivers? Sometimes they conflict if you install those first. What I mean is that if you use fastboot on your phone before using MTP, this can happen.

I installed Osmos Os 7.1.1 thru TWRP and when I did that I then went and flashed Aroma installer( probably not the best idea) and installed pretty much all the apps, which was stupid. Now I don't have root( and can't reroot via kingroot, it fails every time).
When I tried to get back into recovery I get the sleeping Android with the exclamation mark with the "No Command".
I just want to get back into recovery so I can restore my last backup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can you get into download mode? If you can do that, ill upload the files you need to get your phone to a rooted functional state.
Yes I can , but, when I go into download mode on the while on the computer, it doesn't read download mode and that the drivers weren't installed correctly it detects that something was connected but goes straight to the drivers weren't installed correctly.... I feel like there's no hope with this phone, I'm stuck on a 7.1.1 rom with no root, no sim card detection and no recovery. Ugh!If you think you can get me into a rooted state, then awesome!

Your not stuck, its a soft brick, i once had that same driver problem. Give me some time to compile everything into a single zip for you to download with instructions. To fix your driver issue, ill include the lg g3 driver kit for you to install, it may still give a driver error, but youll just have to manually assign them and ill help you with that if it comes up.
Ok man, thanks, now what I didn't mention was that I can still boot up into Osmos Os, I just don't have recovery root or radio...It's like when I flashed Aroma and installed all those apps, it broke my recovery and root...I don't understand it. So is that still classified as a soft brick? Just can't do anything with trying to restore my last backup, which I still have in my TWRP folder, but with no recovery I can't restore it, along with the root issue...I mean I tried to reroot with Kingoroot and king root, but nothing. I'm hoping what you are providing me with will get me back up and running. Thank you again man. I do have ADB and fastboot working, just can't make things work in dl mode.

Yea, as long you can get into download mode, then its only a soft brick. The Stump Root apps is a collection of exploits and when in doubt it can sometimes use a brute force attack to gain root. Its how i rerooted my g3 after it got corrupt.
Ok cool, so is it different than the mobile version? Because I tried the mobile version and it instantly popped up with it saying that it can't root my phone.

Now if reinstalling all the drivers doesnt work, Ill set up a guide to do a full cleaning of lg drivers and fresh install. The error codes your getting are apparently just outdated or corrupt drivers, so its not a lost cause, just a bump in the road that can be fixed.
Got it fixed!!! Back to stock rooted. Now I'm flashing super su. Now I can do that thru flashify right? You left out one major detail tho...I had to check Mark board, in LG flash tool...I was stuck in the factory reset 2 screen for like 2 hours until I finally had the computer recognize download mode again.

Hey, no problem man, you really helped out! And now because of that tutorial and the detail you put in, I have recovery and root again! It actually was really easy initially!
I had someone else help out before you, and we spent hours upon hours of trial and error to try and get me back to this state, now he suggested lg root tool but I told him I couldn't get DL mode working as well. So all in all, if it wasn't for people on this site helping each other out, none of us would have what we have now , or fix things on their devices.

Fastboot closes right up because ur are double clicking on it... U should open a command prompt by open file explorer where fastboot.exe and the factory image (stock rom from nvidia) is located on ur pc, press right mouse click and SHIFT at the same time. On the drop down menu choose: open command prompt here. And there u go, u have a command prompt that will recognise the fastboot and the name of the files.
Now put ur shield in fastboot mode, plug it to ur pc.
Now start the commands from a tutorial to go back to stock for the shield tablet.
And lastly... If u dont know how to go back to stock (aka use fastboot), u shouldn't try flashing roms or even use twrp... IMO.

You've made a number of basic mistakes that were completely avoidable. For your benefit, it's time to learn some lessons (the hard way in this case) before proceeding:
Wiping everything in TWRP was not a complete "accident". You deliberately (probably carelessly) ignored the message in TWRP "Wipe" section which tells you the default wipe is the only wipe you need most of the time. It says this for a reason. The default wipe (data, cache and Dalvik) is all you need for a "factory reset" in 99% of cases, and keeps the OS intact.
So you went into the "Advanced" wipe options. Again, it's called "Advanced" for a reason. This term implies that you shouldn't be messing with these options, unless you have some "advanced" knowledge, and know exactly what you are doing. You shouldn't be wiping anything, if you don't understand what it is, or what the consequences will be.
Another basic best practice: always make a TWRP "nandroid" backup before messing with anything. If you did that, you would have a backup of the stock ROM to easily revert to. It's the first thing I do after flashing TWRP. Now, if you truly wiped "everything" in TWRP, that would include internal storage and SD card, which would means your TWRP backups are also gone. But all the reason, to follow the advice I gave in the previous paragraph.

Neither do we. At least not without any detailed info. Don't just say "it didn't work", as that doesn't tell is anything. This is almost certainly pilot error, and easily fixable. Provided you give us some info. How far did you get flashing Lineage? Did it flash successfully, or not? If not, what were the error messages? If it flashed successfully, then exactly what happened next? Stuck rebooting on logo screen, or it booted but apps force closed?
Did you flash a gapps package right after flashing Lineage (which is required)?
What version number TWRP?

If you don't know how to use fastboot, how did you unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP?

If you search NVIDIA's Download Center, you will find the recovery image for this device, which includes instructions on how to install it.

You need a warning message telling you that wiping system . . . would wipe the system?
Makers of TWRP assume that anyone using TWRP has some basic knowledge and would take some care before wiping things, especially in the "Advanced" section. And that even if you had no OS, you know how to restore it.

Yeah, you should stop doing stuff like that. Shortcutting the process by letting other folks do the work for you, got you were you are.

Hover the mouse cursor over the window that contains fastboot.exe. Shift+ Right click. You should see a pulldown menus appear. You should see an open "Open command prompt here".
What about this doesn't work?
