Read the comments after the guide. Not very promising.
And I don't think this is posted in the correct section.

Moved here....Thanks.

I posted it and I've successfully rooted my phone and my wife's phone via this method. Running stock rooted with xposed, greenify, adaway, and several other apps that require root.
Just trying to help out as I searched for quit some time for a quick and easy way to root 4.4.2

I used ioroot25 to successfully root my AT&T LG G2 d800 running stock ota kitkat.
Been that way for weeks.
Now, there is not, as of yet, a way to get a custom recovery on the damn thing. Not without downgrading firmware and rooting first. Basically still limited to loki support for custom recoveries.

Yeah. That is a link to ioroot25. Took me awhile to find it. Just trying to make someone's life a little simpler.

So this method will work with those that have the D80020k update as well?

There is a way to install a custom recovery on stock KK via autorec:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
I rooted via this method and then installed twrp with autorec on a stock out of the box KK device. No need to downgrade or anything.

WooHoo! Bonus!
It works and I didn't have to restore to old firmware first, or screw up anything. No lost data.
Thanks.

I was on d80020c, rooted it with above method and was forced to take the 20k update and kept root!

Waiting for confirmation that this works on ATT build # D820020k and can keep recovery.

Just use IOROOT25 to root 20k, then AUTOREC to install recovery. Can't get any easier than that.

Factory reset

Hey guys
I seem to have goofed up trying to enable power save mode. I'm still on stock and s-off/root. Can I just go into the bootloader mode and do a factory reset?

I went ahead and just flashed a stock rooted rom. Basically I had managed to corrupt the secure.db when I was trying to enable the power save mode.

Need root for my g259p 5.1.1

I need twrp root for my sprint galaxy s6 edge on 5.1.1. All of the twrp recoveries ive tried don't work. And I've searched this forum and all others for my device and to no avail.
Can someone share a link to a working recovery so I can root my device?

Well if you've searched all threads then you would see that currently there is no twrp nor root available yet. They're still working on it. But if you want to help out, you can try this TWRP and report back. And did you mean G925P?

If you are stuck on the boot screen, you will need to reflash the stock recovery again with odin. The one for T-mobile works with our phone. You can get it here:

most easy way is to flash a root update zip using any cuatom recovery. update.zip should de for your device

No custom recovery for this phone (yet).
Is it not possible to flash zips through the stock recovery?

No the stock recovery can't flash zips made for twrp and the like, only updates from your sd card.

Two questions, why did that get flagged as a violation of ToS? And second, if that's the SuperSU zip, why are you uploading it and sharing it through Google drive?

Updates from SD card?
Phone is an Alcatel One Touch Pop Icon (A564C) though.

Like official updates, or if anyone ever figures it out you could get root by flashing a zip using the stock recovery. But that would have to be specifically made to work with the stock recovery.

Stock recovery should have an option of flaahing update.zip.
Just rename the zip to update.zip and flash through stock one

Idk what he's linking. Pretty sure it's a supersu.zip or something...
Will what he's suggesting have a high chance of bricking my device?

It might but I don't understand why it's flagged or why he's making mirror links to what is the easiest to find rooting file on the Internet. Will it brick? Probably not, it most likely won't even flash successfully.

Renamed zip to update.zip but it wouldn't show up in stock recovery...is it supposed to be in a specific location? Tried with it in internal memory as well as onsd card...

While in recovery ended up on a screen with android laying down on back with a triangle with exclamation point...what exactly does that mean?

has anyone tried to flash TWRP since the latest update?
