Okay, so here are the issues I encountered:

The first time I attempted to run the root.sh file (I'm on Mac), this was the output I got:

Something went wrong. There is no rooted ADB.

Your device may not be supported.

You could try running the script again.

Report all device info list below in the IOroot thread.

LG-D803

RGS

D803R10c

lge/g2_rgs_ca/g2:4.2.2/JDQ39B/D803R10c.1378294758:user/release-keys

So I attempted the manual method. I didn't get very far. When I attempted to run the ./adb push ytiruces_1a_d803 /sdcard/ytiruces_1a command, this was the message I received: "cannot execute binary file"

I've confirmed that I have all drivers, the phone is ni debugging mode, USB is in charge only, airplane mode is on per instructions, phone is unlocked and screen on, ./adb devices shows the device and it's registered...

I'm at a loss. Help?
[G2 Android Development] nghiadhd:
Seem you are right, the best that we should have 4.4 TOT file.

Currently, 4.4.2 rooted don't more effect, because Xposed framework doesn't support for 4.4.2. I think I should downgrade to 4.2.2 or file some custom stock rom of 4.2.2

Thanks

Questions regarding root (sorry if in FAQ or somewhere)

I do apologize if these questions have been asked/answered before, there are a lot of pages to sift through. Basically I bought the LG-G2, and I DO NOT WANT to put on a custom ROM or anything. I simply want to remove this bloatware! (And possible put on an app that requires root or something, I'm not sure yet). I have had the Captivate in the past, which was super easy to root and change ROM and stuff, but I just want to remove the bloatware. Can you tell me if rooting it will change the software in any way other than the settings? I want to keep it as stock as possible without changing the kernel etc. I hope I am making sense!

Thanks
[G2 Android Development] abdel12345:
Rooting doesn't change v Anything except give you root privilege. You'll still be fully stock.
[G2 Android Development] RJ287:

Try using something like Link2sd orTitanium backup to freeze them. Then take it from there.

had to try twice though. the prompts on screen mention switching to MTP and back to ethernet...but that didn't quite do it for me. i ran root.bat again and this time, while unplugged turned off debugging mode, then back on. then after plugging back in, switched to MTP and back to ethernet...success. hopefully this helps someone.

[G2 Android Development] wcterp:
Is there a web site (or a board on this site) somewhere where they talk about how they root phones? Like what different kinds of vulnerabilities they look for, that sort of thing. For example, I think ioroot takes advantage of the fact that adb calls an executable called g2_security which maybe has elevated privileges.

Any one know if IOroot24 (or any other version) will work with the Japanese G2 variant from Au? It's called the ISAI LGL22 (KS 1024).

I realize it's not listed as one of the support variant models in this forum. Thanks.
[G2 Android Development] kchiman:
as there are many different variants, developer will not know them all and test them one by one.

i guess we need someone (maybe you) try it and tell us.

I only wish, I do not have this particular phone -- I am merely investigating for a friend that is currently in Japan. But I will see if I can convince him to try when he comes back to town for a visit.

Sorry I do not understand English well, could you explain in any other way?

I realized that if I install superuser, some LG apps detect root presence, then the warranty is invalidated ... OK....

What I do not understand is this sentence: "Why is it asking if I want to 'trip rootchecker'?" Does this mean? Rootcheker is not a simple software that detects the presence of root??

More ...

But if I now lock the script and do not install superuser, then what we the script has done up to this point, about reserved???

[G2 Android Development] mistermidas:
Has anyone verified it yet though? Would be great if it actually does work.
[G2 Android Development] bayuadhi069:
If you dont trip rootchecker, you can only use root from adb commands and shell. Meaning you cant use root app from inside your phone OS, because the device still declared it self unrooted.

If you dont know how to use adb and really wants root app, you just have to trip rootchecker.

---------- Post added at 04:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 AM ----------

That is for Gpro 2, if you even read this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48709232

Ioroot 24 also works for Gpro 2 (old exploit).

It is kitkat but system on every phone is unique, though some share same exploits.

Kitkat for G2 on the other hand is patched from old exploit thus developers still searching for other possible exploit access to gain root.

Thank you, I understand, but in my ignorance I do not know how it can be used in the root from adb.

Maybe developers or advanced users ... But - for eg - to run Root Explorer need the device rooted in the classic way :)

Yes, to run root explorer or titanium back up and other thing you have to trip rootchecker.

NO, you can not use this to root Kitkat on D80x devices. All you had to do was read the OP where it's all laid out.

Sorry if this question had been ask b4 & i'm new to LG G2 Stock 4.2.2 (just bought it today) i did read though few pages regrading about root but theres too many pages.

i know OP mention rooting invalidates Warranty, i would like to ask if after rooting, flashing back or update to latest stock firmware will my warranty still invalidates or it will go back to stock with valid warranty? does it works like samsung devices, once u rooted if will trigger knox 0x1 and no way back to full stock?
[G2 Android Development] Enc0der:
Are you f*c*ing kidding me?

This is post #869, on page #87!

This thread have 1355 posts in 136 pages! You really expect people to read all 136 pages before asking a simple yes/no question: "does it support kitkat"?

If the answer is no, then what's the point in reading 136 f*ck*ng pages of a useless (for kitkat users) thread?

His question was legitimate and he is not "lazy".

Anyway, thanks for pointing out to the right post.

Too bad it doesn't support kitkat.
[G2 Android Development] robogo1982:
It's not 136 pages. The link I provided was from THE OPENING POST. Or even simpler: the FIRST post of this topic. So, you open this topic, click that one link and you're instantly brought to the list of supported devices. It's really not that difficult.

All one needs to do is read, and not much more than that. BTW no need for foul language, I really don't understand why is it necessary.

Sorry for the offtopic, folks.
[G2 Android Development] Enc0der:
I came to this thread to ask the same question. The first post didn't say anything about kitkat (the link you mention is there, but it does not look like anything "kitkat-related"), the first post basically looks like this: http://screencast.com/t/UChlDiDHbltt where the list doesn't include any version information...

Luckly for me I went back 1 page and found your post, but it was pure luck.. I wouldn't went all the way to page 87, so I'm glad the "lazy guy" was here :)
[G2 Android Development] kchiman:

yes, the OP did not clearly mention the version

but there is a link provided.

Will this trick work on the d803?
[G2 Android Development] mistermidas:
Well, say if you got your phone out the box brand new with Kit Kat installed, you would most likely look for a root METHOD rather than a rollback to an earlier version....install root on the earlier version, and THEN take an OTA and pray your root sticks. That is a time consuming and not guaranteed WORKAROUND that might or might not work. A root METHOD like IORoot2x...is a method to add SU for people who dont have the time to deal with something that might not work.

I was waiting for you to release it. what are you waiting for?
[G2 Android Development] mistermidas:
Just asking out of curiousity, but IIRC you own a Sprint G2 correct? Once the OTA drops, do you think that will help you create a root method for KK, or does it not really matter since other versions have already relased anyway?

I apologize for my words.

LS980, correct. Yes I will be trying things to get root once the rls is out. Source dropped the other night so it should be any time now.
