You will need to go back to stock, and then reroot with this rooter.

If you are on VZW ONLY, follow my guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448960

How about lg d802? is it supported?
[G2 Android Development] omnia38:
My issue is most definitely with phone drivers. My computer find my s3 amd note 2 through adb. I installed the lgunitedmobile drivers but that doesnt help.

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

Sorry for flooding the board guys. I needed to go into device manager and delete my phone. After that installing the drivers worked. I will delete the previous posts. Thanks again so much.

LOVE IT! Although I would have enjoyed a shell script that isn't BAT, the instructions were damned easy to follow and execute on my Linux box. If there's enough interest, I'll port the Winsux bat file into FOSS shell scripting.
[G2 Android Development] bos1:
On mine (Vzn, Win7) there is a lag before adb works. First it tries to convince me to install Verizon software upgrade assistant, then the regular Win autoplay options pop up, and then there's another lag (and sometimes you have to change usb connection back to ethernet), then finally about a minute and a half later adb starts working. Also, you have to OK usb debug to your PC on G2 the first time you connect, otherwise adb sees the device as "unauthorized".

With a little patience and double checking that adb is ready after each usb connect, this root method works flawlessly. Many thanks to the OP.

And that's related to this topic... How??
[G2 Android Development] autoprime:
We have a new LG root method out... designed for LG G3 initially but should work on many more "recent" LG android devices. should support most LG devices on firmware built Q2 2012 up until now.

New root is called Stump and can be found here - http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906

New devices will have to be "bruteforced" by one user of each device/firmware... once bruteforced.. all users of that model will be supported once the new info has been added to the app.

Example: User has a Verizon G3 on 4.4.2 24A... user opens stump.. device is not supported yet... so user accepts the "bruteforce" message and waits an hour or so and is then rooted. in addition to that Verizon G3 on 4.4.2 24A now being rooted... all future attempts at rooting Verizon G3 on 4.4.2 24A will take less than a second to root.

To clarify.. if "Bob" uses Stump bruteforce on his Verizon G3 on 24A... anyone trying to root the Verizon G3 on 24A after "Bob" will NOT have to bruteforce/wait an hour. Root will then be instant for all future users on that model/firmware. When firmware "26B" comes out in the future.. someone will have to bruteforce that once time before all others get root... and so on and so on..

The more devices that are "bruteforced" the greater the support list for Stump root is. While it's a tad annoying the first user of each device to wait an hour or so... Stump root has to potential to root more LG devices than any other method available.

Please provide a logcat if the app is crashing for you. Please report your exact model/firmware if Stump tells you the device is unsupported(and gives you no option to bruteforce).
[G2 Android Development] simon_lefisch:
You're awesome [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION]. Your continued work is appreciated. Do you think this will work for G2 if/when Android L comes out?
[G2 Android Development] chip0:
So after i root with this, how do i unroot?
[G2 Android Development] simon_lefisch:
The best way to fully unroot and clear the root flag is to flash back to stock using the flash tool.
[G2 Android Development] MonaLisaOverdrive:
Hmmm.

The OP says that all versions of the GPad work, but I can't get past the signature verification when using ioroot. I'll look around a bit more later, but if anyone has had success with the GPad, post here.

EDIT: Or, I'll try Stump and post results.

EDIT: Stump reported that my device was already rooted, but it was not. Retried ioroot again and again got the E:failed to verify whole-file signature and E:signature verification failed.

...at which point you get a "this phone is not supported" if your phone, well, isn't supported.

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

Just a quick update. After finding out that there are different versions of ioroot, I've downloaded what appears to be version 19...judging by the .zip file.

Will look through more of the post to see if there are other versions more applicable to my GPad 8.3 (VWZ81022B) before trying with version 19

EDIT: Version 19 was a no-go, but I did get a helpful 'We don't have an unlock for this Verizon OTA yet'. I did see a link to ioroot25, however it was broken.

Anyone have a link for ioroot25...or the latest version?

EDIT: On a hunch I went back to one of the working links, which pointed to a directory listing. After a bit of navigation I got to a link that contained all...well all of the most recent...versions of ioroot. Here it is:

http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/ioroot

The dates seem off, however...

EDIT: Latest version unfortunately does not work. Back to tinkering...

EDIT: Manual install of ioroot (adb reboot recovery, etc) did not work...though I'm not sure why I thought it would. Again, back to tinkering...
[G2 Android Development] MonaLisaOverdrive:

I would like to bump this request. The LG Enact is now running 4.4.2, but Towel Root and this script do not recognize it as a supported device, though I'd imagine it would be easy to root using one of these methods since it most likely is using a similar LG rom anyway. I can get into ADB to sideload something, but am not sure which device is closest or would work.

I used towelroot on my daughter's LG Enact. It worked without a hitch. It was up to date, 4.4.2 when I rooted it.

I unrooted and had flashed the Oct 14th LG d800at-01-oct-10-2013. Will this rooting method work on the d80020u and will I b able to get twrp recovery or would I need to downgrade to the Oct 192013 4.2.2? Can I dg to 4.2.2 from 4.4.2?

[G2 Android Development] usman farhat:
Hello I successfully rooted but didn't get any superuser app and yet the apps are getting root permissions automatically. I installed root checker after restarting my phone but instead of asking permission, it directly declared that I have root. Then to test again, I installed X-plore and it didn't ask for permission but directly started showing root folders.

I have purchased this phone as a second-hand device (means that someone else had used it before), so is it possible that the previous owner had rooted this phone? But whatever may have been done previously, granting permissions without my input and consent is something I have never seen before on any android phone. Therefore I am confused, what should I do? Will installing SuperSU override (and be able to abort) new requests?
[G2 Android Development] Gas_OB:
You have to install superSu apk in order to be able to give permission or not!

Oh lawd... I just received my replacement G2 from Verizon today, waiting for me at home. Praying it is not already updated to 26A...!!! :mad:
[G2 Android Development] autoprime:
26A works just fine with Stump Root:good:

ioroot is pretty much patched across the board on g2/g3..

I know your phone may come pre-installed with 26A so avoiding the OTA is not an option for you...

but in general from here on out... anyone taking a new update should not expect ioroot to work.

LG root options are ioroot, towelroot, purpledrake or stump. google if those are new to you.

a new exploit is not likely to come out any time soon... people should avoid taking any OTAs unless it is confirmed to be rootable.. otherwise you guys will need to downgrade with KDZ/TOT to get back to a rootable software version. Also.. do not rely on downgrade to always save you.. downgrading could be blocked by LG at any time... do not take it for granted.

As for avoiding OTA updates... check out my thread in the g3 forums... 95% of it applies to G2 users as well.

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412

manually updating or not updating at all is the only way to guarantee your device will remain open in the future for any modding/hacking.
[G2 Android Development] bigwavedave25:
Thanks for the heads up. I checked and, of course, the replacement device came updated to 26A. I will give Stump Root a shot tonight if my tired ole GNex can get me enough of a data connection to download what I need! If not I'll try using LGFlashTool to downgrade, which is what I used to go back to 24A [for latest the available KDZ file] from 26A on my previous G2... but I was rooted then. :crossesfingers:

------

EDIT: Success! StumpRoot worked for me on 26A as mentioned. Then I used AutoRec to get TWRP on my phone. I tried updating through recovery to 2.7.1.0, but it failed. Tried pushing loki_patch to /data/local/tmp/ but that still wouldn't allow me to update TWRP [I assume AutoRec already did that for me]. Then I found a custom 2.8.0.1 with a modded kernel that would install. I should be all good now! Thanks [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION]
