thank you. worked perfect glad i did not resort to using vroot
[G2 Android Development] victorbrca:
Just bough a D801 with Wind and had it rooted in less than an hour. Great work.

Fyi for Wind users, the installer will identify the phone as D803 and push "ytiruces_1a_d803" instead of "ytiruces_1a_tmo". I'm not sure if this is a flaw with the script, but I went ahead with D803 and it worked.

can anyone help me figure out how to root the korean G2 f320S running 4.4.2. everytime i tried to root it using IORoot, it says that my firmware is not yet supported. please? i cannot live without root access.

thanks.. this alone wont help with root.. but it'll help me with adding proper model detection to the scripts. might need to wait until tot is available... as I need files from the update(that cant be pulled from the device without root). and I have no clue how to extract the "dlpkgfile" OTA update file.

it's possible I could guess what's needed without the files.. but I'd need someone to hop in IRC and test some things since I dont have the phone.

if someone knows how to extract the dlpkgfile from the OTA that'd help too.
[G2 Android Development] garyd9:
What you need might be here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50575495&postcount=1
[G2 Android Development] autoprime:
oh nice. yes this should indeed help. how were you able to grab these images? did you retain root thru the ota? was the OTA update a zip this time? of are you able to extract the dlpkgfile?

*update*

ok so I confirmed the file that needs to be pushed to sd for adb shell root backdoor... and the testers in irc were unable to get #

I believe the backdoor was patched in Android CTS in 4.2.2 but I had assumed LG worked around it... but maybe not.

If this is indeed correct.. then ioroot will no longer work for any device on 4.4.2

apprently root DOES stick if you root with current ioroot(or manual method) prior to taking the latest att 20c ota update.

loki is patched in 4.4.2
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
Mmmm thank you [MENTION=336863]garyd9[/MENTION]
[G2 Android Development] garyd9:
root via "ioroot22" on D80010d was retained going to 'q' and still retained going to kitkat. That, by the way, startled me. The size of the dlpkgfile seemed large enough to be a full /system replacement, but apparently it was only a patch - as the su binary AND superuser.apk (supersu) was left intact.

If there's anything I can do, please drop me a line. I can't do IRC or even boot a linux machine while I'm at work, but adb works fine in windows.

Take care

Gary
[G2 Android Development] dirty2k9:
I know you guys are busy trying to problem solve the new Kit Kat update but hopefully you can spare a second. How did you manage to update to 4.4.2 with root? I get the "Can't update because phone is rooted error". I'm on stock recovery and ROM, no Xposed.

Thanks in advance.
[G2 Android Development] garyd9:
Expect everything on your phone to be erased. Find the thread for restoring the AT&T to stock. Following the instructions to restore to D80010o. Use ioroot22 to root the device. Allow the AT&T "q" update to be pushed to the device and applied. See root still works. Allow the AT&T kitkat update to be pushed to the device and applies. See root still works.
[G2 Android Development] dirty2k9:
I initially rooted my phone with ioroot22 while on D80010o. I then took the OTA for "q" update a couple weeks ago and maintained root. However, when I tried to install Kit Kat this morning I got the "can't update because phone is rooted error". That's why I was curious how you were able to update.
[G2 Android Development] dirty2k9:
So I restored my phone back to D800100 and then rooted. Now I can't get the "q" update for 23 hours because that's what the timer in software update settings says. If I factory reset my phone so that it searches for an update after booting, do you know if anything funny will happen since it is rooted?

Edit: AT&T is pushing me the updates as I type.

[G2 Android Development] jcnbama:
If I root a T-Mobile LG G2 using this method are there any other things I should be aware of like locked bootloader? Is it dangerous to remove system apps or LG apps after rooting. I know the Optimus was a little different. If you removed system apps without having an unlocked bootloader then you got soft brick. I am getting my phone tomorrow and any tips would be welcomed. I don't think the T-Mobile variant had any kitkat update at this point...

Also is there a *back to stock* option. I hate to buy this phone and then find a flaw that needs an RMA and then not be able to return it due to void warranty. Thanks for any help!

Oh men, I guess I will be stock at 4.4 (f320k20f) and stock rom now. I don't want to be behind at 4.2.2 and have twrp/cmd and flash roms.

By the way, has anyone successfully installed Xposed properly?

When I install Xposed the message will appear

[G2 Android Development] bigfau:
[MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] So neither of the dlpkgfile's aren't of any use,D80010q or D80020c correct?
[G2 Android Development] spdwiz18:
Yes. That's what I did.
[G2 Android Development] autoprime:
I'm not 100% sure yet. I still want figure out a way to extract them. Reading thru other non-g2 posts some have mentioned it's just a zip file. But all my attempts to extract on OSX have failed. It's quite possible it's something with OS X. Using some zip tools thru command line I'm able to see most of the files inside.. but still won't extract. I need to try linux/windows.

And I believe as of now.. no one has figured out how to force an update with them manually? There must be a way... but hasn't been figured out yet. Since I don't have a D800 there's not much I can do on my end at the moment. Sprint usually packages their updates as zips(tho i think att used to as well?) but we've yet to see the 4.4.2 update.

If Sprint starts using dlpkgfiles I'd like to figure something out.
[G2 Android Development] bigfau:
Well just in case here is the D80010q dlpkgfile OTA
[G2 Android Development] spdwiz18:
I know 7zip and winrar have no effect neither. I've been working on it for a couple of days to no avail. They keep telling me that it it's not an archive.

[G2 Android Development] spdwiz18:
No. Not that I know of. The only thing you can try is get sold off a stock recovery and user flashify. BUT, it's not recommend as some people screwed up there phone using it (I think it was more that people didn't read and flashed wrong partition,but those are my thoughts) and no I don't have a copy of the recovery.

[G2 Android Development] tester5224:
What version you had before ? there is OTA just for vodafone JB versions. Also, there should be no custom recovery installed, nor exposed and anything like that. better just have clean Vodafone JB with root and nothing else. Also there are reports that survival mode should be enable in the super su app before starting OTA.

I haven't tried myself, but from other reports, it should work.

[G2 Android Development] bayuadhi069:
Root by itself is never the problem, but messing with /system/ partition, even delete one file or apk might get you error for OTA update. And custom recovery is almost definitely brick your phone if you update via OTA.

[G2 Android Development] autoprime:
if it is possible via the exploit im using then yes i will support it eventually.

I have tried tests with D800 G2 users on 4.4.2 and tests have failed.. so I assumed it did not work on 4.4.2... yet today it has been confirmed F350 G Pro 2 on 4.4.2 is rootable with ioroot method.

So at this point I am just waiting for my LS980 G2 to update to 4.4.2 so I can test myself. Testing with a device not in my hands makes things more complicated.

[G2 Android Development] MunkinDrunky:
For Verizon users (i understand we need different ones) what drivers are you using? Trying to find the latest, but I only have a folder of different drivers from all over the internets and none work. I install, then they say successful, I go through the different usb connections on the phone and all seems ok. Usb debugging is on. My adb devices works for my note 2 just fine. The g2 cannot be found. It has to be the drivers. I always uninstall the drivers and reset before trying new ones.

Are there different drivers for:

Hi,

Sorry for asking. I want to be sure.

I'm new to lg g2. I bought it a week ago.

I rooted the device for some reasons like Freedom.apk and others.

But I really want to know:

When LG releases the official 4.4.2 kitkat firmware update for my device, it will be updated? Or does the device ignore it because rooted?

I don't afraid about the root (I can root it again), I'm afraid the device will not accept the update!!

What do you think?

Thanks.

The root itself isn't the reason for your update message. I think it's because you removed some Korean Apps.

Try to reinstall these Apps if you have an Titanium backup otherwise start again with 4.2.2
