You may have just convinced me to pull the trigger. Soon as I get time I'll be rooting this thing, thanks for the push!
[T-Mobile LG G2] morbidj:
You won't regret it... I did it on my girls G2. Took me about 15 minutes only because the files are huge and not the fastest upload from server.. Of course a far cry from a click and done script but easy in comparison to some of the older devices like HTC I've worked with. ?
[T-Mobile LG G2] buenarc:
I think the best option now is to downgrade... I hope we can make it someday.
[T-Mobile LG G2] sling:
Totally Depressing.

Hopefully recovery fix will be available soon
[T-Mobile LG G2] xbxjunkie:
i downgraded right after the official release of KK. i followed the dr87 thread to the letter. i'm KK now with twrp recovery and have JB

as my backup. if tmobile is going to keep this locked down like it appears they're going to do, this will go on swappa and i'll break out

my rooted and unlocked nexus 5
[T-Mobile LG G2] AspenSTi:
I'm on day 6 of my 14 day trial and am already looking to get the nexus 5 over the g2. The battery is already not lasting as long as it did in the first few days and me being used to flashing ROMs every other day is kinda disappointed that I would have to jump through quite a few hoops just to flash one rom. Yes the slightly larger screen is nice, but if I'm going to have to charge it more than once a day it might as well be because I'm flashing ROMs and setting up the phone the way I'd prefer it right? (root apps included). Would anyone else care to talk me down from returning before my 14 days is up?
[T-Mobile LG G2] sling:
Sorry cant help you there.

I sported device 3 months totally loving it before kitkat.

Kitkat Firmware did damage to battery life , signal , browser smoothness & locked recovery so I made move to GS5.
[T-Mobile LG G2] AspenSTi:
Yeah, the wife just got the gs5, but its not for me. Just too big and I cant stand the physical buttons anymore, I came from a gs4. I had the galaxy nexus before that and thats kinda whats making me lean toward the nexus 5 at the moment, that and all the trouble as far as rooting related things for the tmobile g2... I was really hoping this was gonna be the one for a while.
[T-Mobile LG G2] needabottle:
Not sure I can talk you out of keeping the G2 but here are my thoughts on it. Over the last 6 months I've gone from a LG Optimus G, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Note 2, Galaxy S3 and S4. I have the Optimus G pro and just bought the LG G2. I'm on T-Mobile and bought an AT&T G2. Unlocked and rooted on KitKat. Use the hide soft keys app and loved it. Had to install the Exposed framework because Kitkat was causing Keyboard errors with the hide soft keys app. I ended up returning the AT&T version because Tap to Startup didn't work worth a damn. I read about early versions of the phone having this problem so I sent it back and bought the T-Mobile version which is 2 months old.

I immediately updated to Kitkat and then found out the darn thing couldn't be rooted. Bollox!!!!!! I was getting high speed downloads on the unlocked AT&T and I mistakenly though everything would be cool on the T-Mobile version. So 2 days ago I downgraded to 4.2.2. Rooted and put the hide soft keys on it. Works like a champ. Now I have full access to the 5.2 inch screen. I get almost the same screen as the Optimus G Pro (It isn't quite 5.5 inches) on a much smaller and lighter phone. The screen is wonderful. It is fast and I installed the free Launcher8 (not Launcher 8 - note the lack of space between the r and 8). launcher8 is awesome. It gives me live tiles and is fully configurable.

Given I have tried all the above phones and am just a phone swop guy, I've settled on the G2 and love it. I rarely use the buttons on the back of the phone so their placement doesn't bother me and with all my crap on board I still have 10GB of the 32GB memory left so no SD card is fine too.

Obviously everyone has different needs etc but I don't miss Kitkat and I'll live with 4.2.2 until a root is found and if not.... no big deal as 4.2.2 works fine. The G2 is a great phone in my opinion.

Again, I'm maybe a different case to most people. I have the T-Mobile $30 pay as you go. I never use more than 20 minutes a month as I just use Skype or use Kakao talk calling to everyone I know. The 5GB datas (unlimited but first 5 GB on 4G is more than enough for me and I never text). I buy my phones outright on ebay or craigslist so never have contracts. Had a couple of dodgy deals but always got my money back. As I said I'm probably not your average user but for me the G2 is the best out there at the minute and I don't see anything on the horizon which would make me change it.
[T-Mobile LG G2] AspenSTi:
What is the method you used to downgrade then root? Seems like there have been so many issues lately. I would at least like to try and give root a try to see if it makes my experience a little better.
[T-Mobile LG G2] davwman:
Tot method. Worked for me first time no problem. You have to make sure the phone is set to com port 41 in device manager in windows. And follow directions to the word. I cannot stress that enough.
[T-Mobile LG G2] needabottle:
Agreed. Tot method is the way to go. Follow SuperSport's video but use the T-Mobile files linked below the video. Then ioroot25 to root it.

Easypeasy :)

Here is the video

[T-Mobile LG G2] AspenSTi:
Done! rooted with 4.2.2 That was super easy (thanks!!). Now do you guys jump up to 4.4.2? And how are you guys loading twrp?
[T-Mobile LG G2] davwman:
I loaded the twrp .IMG file onto the phone, downloaded flashify for root users and installed it that way. Then when in recovery flashed the stock ROM.zip that's floating around and the superuser.zip immediately after
[T-Mobile LG G2] sam298:
I am pretty much in the same boat. I am with 30$ plan for more than a year but just got lg g2 with 50$ plan. Still debating which plan to keep. $50 plan has intl roaming but has 16% taxes. Hope the phone ships with JB rom. But I think you can get kitkat with root here but no recovery. There is one here and of course custom rom here. I might stay with JB (reading your post) as I cant think of any features that are worth in kitkat that cannot be gotten using xposed or an app. I might miss the full screen album art in lockscreen, but there might be some xposed or app to get that feature.
[T-Mobile LG G2] AspenSTi:
^^since rooting/downgrading last night everything has been better for me. The camera seems to respond quicker, and battery is possibly a little better (to early to tell). But with xposed anything is possible!
[T-Mobile LG G2] demoncamber:
Rooted, debloated, greenified, tweaked kernel and xposed resized nav bar. I'm now in heaven.

[T-Mobile LG G2] AspenSTi:
What xposed mods are you running? I'm noticing that there are not quite a many for this phone. Currently playing with g2 tweaks box.
[T-Mobile LG G2] ghedoicy:

[T-Mobile LG G2] olipbo100:
I did try the TOT but their s.th with my CDC driver couldn't install. Any one have that problem. Really need root now :(
[T-Mobile LG G2] SeVIIn:
Did you tweak the stock kernel or are you using a custom one? I would kill to be able to use something other than stock but instally recovery always gives me white lines.
[T-Mobile LG G2] demoncamber:
Custom, dr87's stock kernel

[T-Mobile LG G2] Swizzle82:
I just tried motochopper by bliss to root my G2. It pushed superuser apk I opened it and it says the su binary must be updated, but there is no binary in xbin... This is the most I've gotten out of any exploit thus far. I did try the saferoot app and had no luck. I really need to get some help from the smarter folks..lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] demoncamber:
I actually got the same result by just installing SuperSU from play store when I was unrooted, gives you the same message. I by no means am an expert, but I'm guessing the apk part installs fine, but the rest needs system r/w permissions and fails to install on that end, because you're not rooted.

Sent from my LG-D801
[T-Mobile LG G2] Swizzle82:
Motochopper uses a different path to push everything. I wonder if I could contacting bliss to see if he could help..
[T-Mobile LG G2] demoncamber:

so THATS whatll get rid of the white lines?! i gave up after trying for 5 hours!

What do these white lines look like? I've yet to see a screen cap of them. Luckily haven't come across that issue yet.

Sent from my LG-D801
[T-Mobile LG G2] nexicon:
man it looks like the screen went berzerk. there is no discernible picture and just lines all on the screen. im desperate for root and flashed the rooted 4.4.2 rom AND aosp but either white lines or no screen. maybe the kernel needs to be flashed that you guys are talking about? i did the TOT method of course to downgrade and then jump back to kitkat rooted...sigh..
[T-Mobile LG G2] demoncamber:
OK well I would redo the downgrade, then do dr87's stock debloated ROM for our phones specifically, then his stock kernel in the general g2 Dev forum. That's what I did and I've not had a single issue.

Sent from my LG-D801
[T-Mobile LG G2] nexicon:
hmm ok ill try tonight. did you eventually try aosp as well or only stuck to stock roms?
[T-Mobile LG G2] demoncamber:
Only tried Smiley's and dr87s stock roms.

Sent from my LG-D801
[T-Mobile LG G2] nexicon:
last two questions:

do i need to use the apk AutoRec?

will my recovery need to be reinstalled after rooted 4.4.2 rom? thanks so much

edit: i love you. smileys only worked. the other one dr87 was giving me white screen. also if you could please answer what autorec actually does. ive thread the thread over and over and i dont understand. the OP is written poorly. i'd really love to flash AOSP
[T-Mobile LG G2] LOBBS:
You may be able to flash another ROM over Smiley's. I read in another thread that it is possible to get rid of the white lines by flashing that ROM first.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Swizzle82:
Nevermind
[T-Mobile LG G2] zone23:
Theres a hand full of us who are stuck on 4.4.2 and without a root method we will be stuck on 4.4.2 forever. We cannot downgrade. I'm hoping a solution is found otherwise I will have to use insurance and get this G2 replaced. Thanks guys for all your help.
[T-Mobile LG G2] cangri87:
Give this a try, i just downgraded and have rooted 4.4.2 running fine now.

[T-Mobile LG G2] zone23:
Thanks I tried something similar to this already but my device has what is referred to as the 49% error, were when the phone flashes to 49% it has an error and just won't flash. Some have had luck unplugging and plugging back in and repeatedly trying to flash but not me just can't downgrade. I'm trying your link but i'm not very hopeful. If I had root I could use AutoRec but so could everyone else. Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2] olipbo100:
Try doing that with other computer.
[T-Mobile LG G2] zone23:
Yep tried 3 computers even a Windows XP machine no luck same thing every time.
[T-Mobile LG G2] olipbo100:
What are the problems? Driver or your phone
[T-Mobile LG G2] zone23:
I assume its the phone, attached log file. Not trying to hijack this thread just need some fresh ideas. I've tried both the TOT method and the kdz. The TOT says I have the wrong device or DLL, the kdz gets to 49% and stops. When I say stops the app says there was an error and wants me to retry. The phone currently has Cloudystock 2.0 without Root and can't downgrade because the methods wont work.
[T-Mobile LG G2] wcterp:
I haven't looked at your log file, but I was having trouble flashing for a long time. Eventually I theorized that it was a driver problem, so I reinstalled the drivers as the very last step before flashing and I was then able to flash, even though I had previously installed the driver package. Also make sure you're using either the original cable or a high quality one. I've found that for some cables, the computer doesn't recognize the phone properly.
[T-Mobile LG G2] zone23:
I will try reinstalling the drivers it couldn't hurt. I've been using the OEM cable. Thanks

Edit:

I did load another copy of Windows XP this morning and that was a big negative as well. Really loosing faith here.

Edit2:

OK downloaded latest drivers and restore software and got the same thing stopped at 49% and wanted me to try again. I thought maybe it was going to work because it went really slow but it just let me down again.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Swizzle82:
Did you try from a different usb port on the computer. On my laptop I have to use the back port.
[T-Mobile LG G2] zone23:
Thanks ya I tried different USB ports and all my machines are USB 2.0. I give up.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Antagonist42:
Double check cables....I've had a couple that came with devices for USB and we're 1.1 and not standard USB 2.0 ....a decent cable will have 2.0 printed on it.

Q. Does flashing to 49% leave the system in a usable state or does it fail?

If it fails I'd try reflashing the ROM that was last installed, ensure it's working then try flashing again.

Bashing away at my HTC Desire C
[T-Mobile LG G2] zone23:
Most of my PC are MACs running windows Via bootcamp. Although the Windows XP machine was as older HP machine.

Cable came with the device unless its defective.

Flashing to 49% does not seem to break anything the device still boots to cloudystock.

Can't flash another ROM because I've got stock recovery.

Its a lost cause..

Who's excited for the G3?

-Matt
[T-Mobile LG G2] kingston73:
If the G2 with kitkat can't be rooted, why would the G3 be any different? I was really looking forward to getting a G3 but if Tmo and Lg lock it up I'm definitely not buying anything. Maybe the Nexus 6 if it actually appears, but there's no guarantee that the N6 would even be based on the G3 or even an LG product at all.
[T-Mobile LG G2] xbxjunkie:
i'm looking forward to the G3 and i agree, if TMo is gonna lock it down, i'll be switching to AT&T. from what i've been reading, AT&T and Sprint will be the first to get it in June, followed by TMo and lastly VZW.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Swizzle82:
Well more than likely the G3 will be locked down on T-Mobile as with all new kitkat devices on T-Mobile and Metro. From what I have been reading the nexus series will be taken over by htc...
[T-Mobile LG G2] sergey1977:
if flash official 4,4 d802 rom (int) in d801 recovery will be work?
[T-Mobile LG G2] ghedoicy:
That's not an accurate statement. The One and S5 are not locked down in the way we are now. I am pretty sure our situation was an oversight of sorts.

[T-Mobile LG G2] Swizzle82:
I forgot to say all new "Lg" kitkat devices
[T-Mobile LG G2] 2mustange:
We can't all lose hope. Nothing is impossible. No matter how locked down a device is there will still be ways of rooting it.
[T-Mobile LG G2] sergey1977:
can u create kdz flash files with castom recovery like tar.md5 for samsung?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Swizzle82:
Since metro and T-Mobile are basically one in the same now this could be why we can't root new lg phones...

MetroPCS is committed to delivering an optimal experience on our phones for our customers and we have added Secure Lock to protect the integrity of the phones sold by MetroPCS. Secure Lock is technology that prevents unauthorized firmware from being installed on MetroPCS phones. Preventing unauthorized firmware helps protect against security threats that may result from third-party firmware that has not been tested by MetroPCS and our equipment manufacturing partners. If unauthorized firmware is flashed on a MetroPCS phone that has Secure Lock, the phone will no longer work

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] klau1:
What you call "stock" is actually a neutered version of Android. Neutered to prevent people from doing exactly just want you're attempting to do.

Rooting then installing Null restores this functionality.

The functions were removed from Gear for good reason. The battery can only sustain 2 hours of screen time, if the engineers at Samsung left the Android functions open, people would run out of power before the end of lunch and a huge publicity stink would ensue.

[General Questions and Answers] Shawn R:
Hello. I have a LG Optimus Extreme (LG L40G) and certain apps refused to connect to the internet. It doesn't matter whether I'm using Wi-Fi or my data connection-- some apps just won't connect.

The apps that do connect to the internet without any problems are: the default browser, Gmail app (default), Google+ app (default), Maps (default), Messaging (default), Play Music (default), Google Search (default) and some other default or system applications.

The applications that connect to the internet 65% of the time are Play Store and YouTube. Sometimes I have to keep hitting retry to make these two apps connect to the internet. Doesn’t matter if I am using Wi-Fi or a data connection. They do the same thing either way. While I'm downloading an app from the Play Store, the connection might get cut and it'll keep trying to reconnect until it does.

And the apps that absolutely refuse to connect to the internet are: Fox News, CNN, SoundHound, eBay, Flixter, PayPal, Progressive, TruTV, etc. Pretty much any app that has been installed refuses to connect.

What I want to know is why? What is the problem? Is there any way to fix it?

I've used all the roms for this phone, but i would recommend you using bigsupersquid's kitkat rom or if you prefer performance find a cm7 rom that has a preferable theme. Like the cm7 touchwiz rom for optimus v
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Left4DeadMW:
Hahahahahahah.

Forget kitkat, stick with CM9. I can discuss this issue all day long and CM9 will still prevail as daily driver.

Cm7 may be faster but lacks android compatibility as apps these days require 4.0+ which is the reason why is he/she upgrading firmware.

I've tried Djnoxd's candledice and sweetnsour's 13 CFS. Use Djnoxd's, it's better in stability and smoother. The only badside is that zRam isn't included.
