[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Okay so I've been noticing a lot of threads lately asking kk this, kk that, kk them, etc. So I decided to make a thread to help some people and reduce the amount of repetitive questions on the Q&A and will try to keep it up to date during my free time.

Getting KK-

Flashing Guide

How to Flash to Stock

If the kitkat kdz file for your device is not there you can look in here:

Flash the LGFlashTool way

D801 T-Mobile

Why it shows rooted download mode after flashing KitKat kdz/rom-

4.4.2 Root Checker

Unrooting and unrooted download mode:

Show unrooted in download mode

Next is root and recovery-

IOroot has been updated to v25 and can root most devices on kk IOroot25

T-Mobile's D801 is having problems with root on 4.4.2 because of issues with stock recovery, but they have a dedicated thread which you can check out and read often to see if they figure out how to root it

Recovery is now available without all the downgrading hassle, as long as you rooted with ioroot25 you can:

1) check out Cloudy's AutoRec to download and install custom recovery on KitKat

2) for Verizon g2 owners only you can check out Freedom Tools

If you want kk, root and custom recovery then try the following(once I can find them for other models, if anybody can share a link i'll update with other models):

Bugs/Fixes(When I have more time I'll add more as I find them)

Apparently there is a bug in which when using auxiliary cables/headphones where there is a crackling/hissing sound in the background, I cannot comment on this since I have not experienced it and I use auxiliary cables every weekend for dj stuff and I also use headphones at least once everyday. There is now a fix for this using G2TweaksBox

So I remember from the very beginning everyone complained that there battery was being drained by Bluetooth right after flash without ever wiping/factory resetting, but I have been using kitkat for about two months now and if after 12 hours it's used 5% then wow that's not a drain, the Bluetooth now works in a low energy state just like Wi-Fi so that even if it's off it's always on in a low energy state which means its not draining your battery.

When I have more time I will add more stuff that is stock kit kat related
