Sweet went back to stock 4.2.2 using the flashtool and took the kitkat update and rooted my sprint flex on kitkat with IOroot25. Kitkat and root couldn't get any better until the kk roms start appearing and i must say kk is really smooth I'm loving it so far.

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

If you took the kk update try IOroot25 which you can find in the G2 IOroot thread.

Hi guys, I'm new here, firstly i wanna say Hello everybody, i come here because i have a problem with my lg g flex d959 from T-mobile.. I updated to KitKat via Lg tool on windows.. now i have Kitkat 4.4.2 on my flex.. But i wanna get root now, i tried with ioroot2.5 but doesn't work, my flex doesn't boot in to recovery to follow the ioroot's steps.. somebody can get root on lg g flex d959 with Kitkat? Please help me ... i want to get root... sorry for my poor english.. i hope collaborate on this amazing forum... here we are.. thanks gays..
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
There is no root for 4.4.2 on T-Mobile yet. There's people working in it, but nothing yet
[LG G Flex] therealciviczc:
So far, if you're on t-mobile with a d959, you're unable to root and have kitkat. T-mobile has somehow blocked recovery from coming up and it appears that they've done so specifically to prevent people from rooting. As far as I know, our best hope is that someone will make a rooted 4.4.2 ROM that will require us to flash back to 4.2, root, install recovery, then flash 4.4.2.

I do know that there is a hardware method for recovering the phone, but it doesn't go to recovery. It goes to some t-mobile warning that you're about to wipe the phone. I don't know if that could possibly work to our advantage somehow. It involves booting with the vol - and power button, then pressing it again after the LG logo appears, etc.
[LG G Flex] aaronrw:
Ok if I'm on jb stock rom D959 not modified but rooted with custom recovery can i disable root and take the t mobile OTA or use the pc suite without issue? Thanks in advanced

[LG G Flex] yellowman82:
Once again if you are rooted the update will not go through, you have to be completely stock. The only phone thats updating to kitkat with root is the at&t variant you are going to have to go back to complete stock in order to take the update.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
We want have to go back to stock to flash a KitKat ROM to have full KitKat. If you flash a KitKat ROM its just that, you will have KitKat. Its not a jelly bean made to look and act like KitKat. It will be KitKat 4.4.2.

And while digging through the KitKat software I think I saw an FM radio. Apk. True or not?

[LG G Flex] skyfox99:
After playing around with it for the day I can confirm that with the Sprint variants you MUST fully unroot back to stock. There is NO combination of anything custom the will work. But set to 100% stock, update showed shortly, and I was able to take the OTA and root using IORoot 25 without a hitch. Not much visual differences but there are some great tweaks (such as scrollable notification menu) and Tap to Pay (plus a few different menu options).

To the poster above that asked about FM Radio, I've had FM Radio with JB too.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
I don't have FM radio on 4.2 I'm with T-Mobile. I extracted the FM radio apk from the it's and to install on jelly bean 4.2 and it would not install. I wonder if I can find an FM apk on play

Sent from my LG-D959 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[LG G Flex] skyfox99:
From experience with the FM radio apk it will NEVER just install. In the past when I used to cook ROMs for my EVO, I always had to ADB install and there are two files you'll need to push.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Does any of these besides the apk and odex look familiar

Sent from my LG-D959 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[LG G Flex] skyfox99:
The .apk and the odex fmradio files are what I would ADB push to the system folder. If you don't ADB then you can try terminal emulator as well. It did work for the EVO so I'm guessing it's the same process UNLESS the T-Mo version doesn't have the Fm hardware receiver for whatever reason.

Remember the app once installed will NOT work without headphones in the jack.

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------

Whoops! Apparently your Flex does NOT have the Fm Radio Hardware.

---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

So unless you have an Internet based radio, you're SOL. Only the International Model has it.

Just got my OTA as well through T-Mobile. Not sure either as everytime I do an update I get worse battery life.

[LG G Flex] brezuno:
I love the battery life and if i risk losing that when i update then forget it.
[LG G Flex] therealciviczc:
I didn't personally notice any difference in battery life with the G Flex and KK.

I also didn't personally notice any benefit from switching to ART.
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
So no performance boost OR increased battery life with ART?

thanks
[LG G Flex] JesseMT4G:
Gonna see what KK is all about here in a few. Going to give it a few days and see how it reacts with battery as it always takes a few cycles after an OTA to fully see how the battery will do. If it's bad, do a factory reset and pray for the best. I love the battery life thus far. At 86% and over 7 hours. It's crazy good.
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
try to remember to clear your cache after the upgrade; a few folks said that their battery life was suddenly worse on KK, but once they cleared both caches, it was fine again.
[LG G Flex] JesseMT4G:
Seems to be okay thus far. Seems a little more snappier. Not sure on knock code, works.... Sometimes.

Hi Team

2) Is not clear the Step by Step to update to KK, Can somebody change the first post to describe better the Step by Step to update to KK?

LG KitKat Stock Update.zip

;)Hi jesmann !

You can send the update file via ADB sideload three times 100% until installation will have completed.

Your phone will reboot into kitkat recovery version kot49IZV6 after the first part of installation.

Then you may not reboot system !

Instead you must send the update file again 100% via ADB sideload.

Wait until the second installation part has succeeded and recovery v6 is rebooted the second time.

Again, do not reboot system now !

Then send the update.zip file the third time 100% via "apply update from ADB".

Installation will be completed then.

Take a look onto my attachment.;)

But you cannot update the rooted ROM with the stock update.zip file. SU may unroot the system, but probably you must flash a stock rom again before updating.

I am still on factory jb that is rooted, twrped. Holding out hoping for an "UNLOCKED" device.
