So if i use towelroot and install the supersu, it will still work but cannot update supersu from the play store. right?

Does rooting trip any of the builtin root checker?(if any) and if it does, does it get reset after flashing to stock again?

And if i wanted to go back to stock to claim warranty, simply flashing the kdz will suffice and remove the root? I had downloaded the ROM from the LG site using the method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2484476

So now i have the entire 1.6 GB KDZ. Can i use this KDZ for flashing back to stock?
[G2 General] RohanM:
If you use towel root still you will be able to update su from play store.. .

If you want to return for warranty purpose then simply user kdz....

When is LG officially releasing an update which gives us G3 interface to our G2? I read that news few months back. But has LG given a specific timeframe?
[G2 General] user28:
Thanks RohanM. I took the step and rooted using ioroot. But it did not proceed to second step i.e. installing the SU and EFS backup. But the rooting is successful as I checked the root status using Root checker app. It confirmed the device as rooted. I reconnected the phone and started the process again but it started all over from the starting, so I did not continue it.

Hope I did everything in order but still clueless why su did not install. :(
[G2 General] mor_1228:
u did something wrong backing up efs is main step before rooting. which ioroot u used on which version kitkat ? do as said in steps its so simple a noob also can do it.
[G2 General] RohanM:
If it is showing successfully rooted then go ahead and install super su from play store..

I had downloaded ioroot from this link

I am on stock 4.4.2. Kernel version: 3.4.0, Build number: KOT49I.D80220b, Software version: D80220b-ESA-XX

The Command prompt window closed after executing this code.

adb.exe sideload datroot.zip

echo.

echo Check device screen for DAT ROOT and reboot..

echo LG device should now have root.

echo.

echo.

echo If stock recovery fails to load,

echo this version of IOroot does not support your device/firmware combo.

echo Please downgrade to previously supported software version.

pause

exit

Not sure where went wrong, but I had followed the instructions exactly. But i got root access. If you feel the procedure is to be completed, then should i flash stock rom again and try rooting again?

Guy's, Did any of u having camera lens scratch problem? Should i remove that coating? Suggestions please....
[G2 General] RohanM:
G2 has Sapphire Glass on the camera lens, so stop worrying.

Technically specking you will need a Diamond to scratch sapphire as per moles scale.

Sapphire is the 2nd hardest substence known to man after Diamond. :cowboy:

there is a purple coating on the glass that is the culprit. it will get scratches easily.

Has anyone been able to run Airtel 4G network on original LG G2 Indian version which was launched before the LG G2 4G LTE version?

DO we have to do a software update to run 4G on original LG G2?

Also which version of Android is being used on the phone running on Airtel 4G?

You can't run 4G on old model of G2, there is a reason they have launched the LTE ver !!

"G2 is 4G ready and support TDD LTE frequency for which companies in India hold spectrum. Once the network is ready, we can upgrade these devices to support 4G. They will not have to buy new device for accessing 4G service. At present G2 will support 3G," LG India's Marketing head*Amit Gujral said.

I'm sure the LG guy was talking about D802T version. D802 doesn't support TDD LTE.

By the way i am on Airtel 4G with my D802T version. You will have to visit Airtel showroom to upgrade your sim. Although the sim is free, you'll require a micro sim adapter as the Airtel 4G sims are Nano by default (Airtel sells the adapter for Rs. 100) . Be sure to carry Photo,PAN card, ID, Address proof xeror !

If you have T version then only you will be able to use LTE... otherwise only 3G.. there is a reason why LG released a T version...

2. After taking KitKat ota, will it remove the rooted status from download mode?

LG G3 to get Android 5.0 in Q4, G2 to get Lollipop as well.

The Point is that they have announced that Lg g2 wil also get android Lollipop but the news that were rumoured in august on so many sites that they will bring the G3 UX to G2 has not been made official by them....so shud we consider the direct android Lollipop over our existing android Kitkat or First the Lg G3 UX will be updated simultaneosly with android Lollipop.
[G2 General] mor_1228:
Direct we will get L they will not waste time in G3 UX and i feel they will never ever put this because people may consider purchasing LG g2 over g3 then.
[G2 General] Shaolin007:
So You mean to say the combined update will be there rather than different g3 ux and lollipop update ryt??

You must be rooted to use autorec. Without root it wont work. Yeah autorec can be used to install recovery provided you are rooted. For rooting use iroot25.works like a charm

KK(4.4.2 with KnockCode/80220B)->JB (4.2.2/80210b): Battery 12-18 hrs -> 24-30 hrs

Got it downgraded at LG Service Centre/ Goregaon West/Mumbai, within warranty, free of charge.

Life is so much better now...

Of course, it's now out of warranty, so would most likely root/try new ROMs, but I did always enjoyed my phone even with only STOCK ROM, until the Knock code update made the phone intolerably short lived and eventually very slow as well..

If any of you is suffering from pathetic battery life, and doesn't want to Root (towelroot is amazingly simple), downgrading is something you should do immediately, can live without the minor improvements KK (Knock Code/faster browsing) brought.

Do note, DO NOT allow the software to update once you get the phone back, and disable automatic Software checking!

Do press thank button below if helpful..

deal for G2

Guys I got a deal for lg g2 d802 32gb Hong Kong version for 22k

Is it similar to Indian d802 version

Will it be compatible in India for 3g and 4g ¿

I could find the specs of Hong Kong version

http://m.lg.com/hk_en/mobile-phones/lg-D802

But I am not able to find specs of Indian version.. also I read there is an 4g version

Also if I got a good deal for LS980 should I go ahead with it?

Ls980 is CDMA version right.. Some tweaking might have to be done to enable gsm 3g

It would be great if someone could guide me on this deal.

Will the updates come automatically or manually

Automatically. You will get all OTA released by Sprint. I got 4 OTA so far.
[G2 General] jeniss:
And i would have to unlock it again to work for gsm network ?
[G2 General] RohanM:
If you only take OTA no need to unlock it again.

If you even factory reset NO need to unlock it again.

BUT if you flash factory ROM [.tot file] using LG Flash tool then you will need to unlock it again.

Got new LG G2 D802 from LG Service center.

New how????

They replaced a New mother board

A new fron panel and lcd

A new back cover because engineer broked it while replacing

So I now have a new LG g2 only with old battery. New battery is of Rs 1600 with taxes.

Now those touch issue also gone.

1 strange thing I noticed is that they gave me kitkat version but it shows Rooted already. I showed them and they said this thing doesn't matter to them they connect our mobile with some software in their laptop and they come to know whether it's Rooted or not. The download mode Rooted thing is no use to them.

I wonder how they couldn't detect my root may be because my mother board was dead lucky me :D

Hi all,

Just ordered the LG G2 32 GB (Gold) for 28.8k for my Mom. Hope to have a great experience reading your tips here. She was using the laggy Lenovo S860 with monster battery. Performance after several OTA updates were poor. I had to choose between OPO, G2 and HTC E8. Finally at 28.8k (Paytm.com), G2 seems to be a very tempting deal.

I agree camera is little slow in G2, we'll the camera is G3 is also same like so I guess that will also be slow.

Samsung cameras are fast I was thinking for S5 but Samsung provided crap EXYNOS processors in India otherwise I would have gone for Samsung.
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
The G2 is probably the best device for the cost, its camera may be a little slow but its good, the G3 camera is faster thanks to IR sensor for focus ranging, it did pretty well in blind camera tests. I looked at one at a local T-Mobile store.

The LG UI is much better than the TouchWiz crap. I like Samsung but hate the UI, its ugly and very laggy.

Samsung's Exynos is their in house CPU (uses Cortex A57 (1.9Ghz) which is clock for clock faster than the A15 based S80X (2.5Ghz)), they don't produce enough so us here in US get the S80X series. The Exynos also gets Wolfoson audio chip which is a beast. Most people prefer the Exynos version.

Here is a comparison of the S805 and Exynos Note 4 as an example:
