Hey Guys. So Some of you may know towelroot was just released by Geohot. I went ahead and tried it on my G2 runing stock 4.4.2 and it WORKED! I ran root checker after running the apk and it said I have full root level access. You just have to download SuperSu from market afterwards. I downloaded root explorer and was prompted with the prompt to grant root and all was well!

Link to original post: http://tinyurl.com/pykqkpt

1. Go to http://towelroot.com/

2. tap the logo for apk

3. Run the apk and follow directions within

4. After phone reboots, Install SuperSu

ALL DONE!

A side note, I haven't tried using rom manager to install custom recovery as I'm not sure if we've found a button code. If someone is willing to help me with that Id be grateful. I can't afford to brick this phone as it's my only phone work work and play.
[T-Mobile LG G2] yoerz:
AWESOME.

Can anyone else confirm this before we try? any bugs?

And how do I go about installing TWRP recovery (or any other suitable recovery)
[T-Mobile LG G2] cangri87:
All is working fine, flash twrp recovery with autorec app by cloudy.

As a side note, please donate to Dev if you can. I know i did.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jawash22:
It worked for me, but can we install custom roms now since we can use autorec to install twrp?

[T-Mobile LG G2] yoerz:
I tried to install recovery with an app called RecoverX, it claimed to do its job but I can't get the device to reboot to recovery. Tried holding the power/volume down like they say but it didnt work.

[T-Mobile LG G2] jaed.43725:
When I see they said it would root a S5 on VZW I was pretty hopeful. I knew this was coming real soon. But I went ahead and did it the hard way anyway.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jamesd1085:
Use flashify from the play store
[T-Mobile LG G2] gigamchz:
Just to clarify, you've managed to install TWRP on your G2 and boot it into recovery with autorec? Just want to make sure before I try.

Never used autorec so if you've got a guide to link to that'd be great.
[T-Mobile LG G2] yoerz:
too late :) I used a autorec and actually got the phone to TWRP. I then proceeded (stupidly) erasing everything and wiping the device because I thought I'd be able to mount it and copy the CyanogenMod file I wanted.

Boy was I wrong.. TWRP did not allow me to mount the device to USB. And for some reason I couldn't get the right driver to install in Device Manager.

At one point I decided it would be a good idea to restart, now I'm stuck at boot loop and I can't get back into TWRP. I tried holding power+down, that forces it to restart a bunch of times. I held the UP button but that puts it into FIRMWARE UPATE mode which also doesn't allow ADB

How do I get back to TWRP? how do I flash Cyanogen mod through ADB

Any ideas please?
[T-Mobile LG G2] jamesd1085:
Hold vol down + power button until screen flashes black followed by lg screen release buttons and quickly press both again and hold. It will boot you to a white screen asking you if you want to fully factory restore...press power to agree... Since twrp replaced factory recovery it will not wipe but instead take you into twrp...takes a couple tries sometimes... You need cm and gapps packages on your internal memory to flash through twrp
[T-Mobile LG G2] jawash22:
If you wiped everything you will have to start over by flashing the original firmware again. It happened to me too because I didn't have the ROM I was flashing on my device already. I used this guide, http://youtu.be/Lg693AYgoTo, to flash back to stock JB, then upgrade again. Just be sure the rom is you want to flash is on your phone since USB won't work. It's no guarantee though, esp. since there is that driver error.
[T-Mobile LG G2] yoerz:
OK, I got it back to TWRP, but now Windows 8.1 is still saying "Windows was unable to find a driver for this device"

I installed every driver I can find. Both on the LG Website and on XDA-developers.com
[T-Mobile LG G2] jamesd1085:
What are you trying to accomplish connecting to computer?

Nevermind I forgot you can choose files from computer when connected...but yeah...may need full restore...there are a few step by step threads on here to do so
[T-Mobile LG G2] jawash22:
Same problem I encountered, so I just figured USB is a no go and had to do the firmware update and then start over with ROM and GAPPS on device next time.Hope you get it...it sucks with all the excitement and all the time us G2 owners had to wait!
[T-Mobile LG G2] yoerz:
Ugh. This sucks. this file is taking forever to download for some reason and I'm in no mood to start dealing with this ****.

I'm just going to take it to the T-Mobile store tomorrow.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jawash22:
It's rooted and they will check it with their diagnostic tool and tell you sorry. Just firmware update it to lose root first. Use this...easy...http://youtu.be/Lg693AYgoTo

[T-Mobile LG G2] gigamchz:
Just bumping this back on topic, but all I have to do is use flashify to get TWRP or CWM installed and I can flash a rom? Assuming you've successfully got this working.
[T-Mobile LG G2] yoerz:
No I did not. The only rom i tried was Cyanogen Mod (Stable or nightly) and it wouldn't boot. Gets stuck on the boot animation forever.

I think it might have to do with the fact I can't do a real WIPE before I flash the Cyanogen rom because that would delete the ROM and there's no other way to get the files on the device.:(
[T-Mobile LG G2] bp328i:
With TWRP can't in the wipe section you do an advanced wipe and just not select internal storage, thus leaving the ROM on your phone while still doing a full wipe?
[T-Mobile LG G2] NicoC72:
Boot into TWRP, do a full backup (name it "Rooted Stock" or something). You are now to wipe everything EXCEPT the internal storage without a fear of having to start over. When you go to wipe, do advanced wipe, and check off everything except for internal storage. Your phone no longer as anything installed to the system partition so don't go rebooting it. Go to install, select your CyanogenMod zip (make sure you grab the one for D801!), then add more zips to queue, select the GApps zip, then swipe to flash. When that's done hit the reboot system.

If you get a bootloop, get back into TWRP and restore the Rooted Stock backup. If that fails, you might just have use the LG tool to fix the phone and have to figure out what the problem is.

Personally I rooted the 4.2 shipping ROM, flashed a 4.4 Stock ROM with a SU file, then went from there. Not sure how to get back to that shipping ROM or if this Towelroot isn't doing something that you need to do to flash a ROM.

Because I haven't encountered problems with this, worked the first time.
[T-Mobile LG G2] inpherknow:
This method "appears" to be the easiest way to root 4.4.2 without any issues. I'm still on stock rooted 4.2.2, and have been patiently waiting for an easy method to root 4.4.2 without issues, as I like to compare between stock rooted and stock unrooted.

Other than the other person with the horizontal lines on the screen, has anyone else had any issues using this method and then using Flashify to get TWRP?

Didn't work

I tried it and it rooted ok but then when I tried to turn it off I had a lot of colored lines on my screen and had to turn the phone competly off. When I turned it on again the same thing happened. I don't know what I did wrong but I sent it in to LG to have it fixed.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Boot_Derran:
One thing it appears u forgot to do was flash the modded stock kernel to fix the white lines that autorec causes. A little reading coulda saved u from sending lg a rooted g2

I have the international G2. All the problems about the white lines that I've read seem to only happen to the US Sprint version. But I downloaded the kernel just in case the same thing happens to me.

[T-Mobile LG G2] inpherknow:
Did you experience any of the problems with the screen that other users have mentioned? I have the tmo variant as well.

Also a general question for anyone. I'm still on 4.2.2, but I have a system update that I can run that will bring me to 4.4.2 or 4.4.4. If I run the system update, can I use this method to root afterwards?
[T-Mobile LG G2] optyqus:
No, rooting with towelroot was straightforward, and no issues whatsoever.

The display issues occur when installing TWRP using the Autorec app if your phone has a JDI display. There is a little app that checks what type of display your phone has, LGD or JDI. Mine was a JDI and after installing twrp I got a messed up display and almost cra* *ed myself. After digging a bit I found out that there was an easy fix for the issue and solved it. The kernel you install needs to be one for jdi display or you need to install the jdi patch.

However, I gave up on twrp, that version of twrp installed by Autorec made my phone extremely hot in about 1 minute after turning the display on. And then after reading the "Permanent damaged screen thread" where people report nasty issues with the display after tinkering with flashing this device, I just gave up the idea of using a custom rom. I just reverted back to stock rom and recovery, then re-rooted with Towelroot and end of story.

Regarding your final question, I can't see why you couldn't upgrade to latest stock 4.4.2 and then root with towelroot, it should work. I don't know if something bad would happen if you root now, then upgrade to 4.4.2, but I assume it should be okay. Another fact to mention is that Towelroot sometimes work and sometimes not, it's a rom/device related kind of thing, don't know. On my already up to date 4.4.2 Tmo LG G2 it worked flawlessly.
[T-Mobile LG G2] inpherknow:
RT

Thanks for the reply.

What recovery are you using now? I'd likely use flashify to install twrp. I personally don't flash a lot, so it's not likely that I'd flash a custom ROM anyway. Stock rooted works for me just fine.

I have a JDI display. Does that problem only occur when using autorec to install twrp?
[T-Mobile LG G2] optyqus:
I'm using the stock recovery, it comes with the stock rom. It's the type of recovery you can't actually see or access.

The fact with Autorec is that at the time I installed it had a certain version of twrp in it, pardon me for not remembering the numbers. What I know is that it made my phone extremely hot in the upper part, around volume keys at the back. I don't know if other versions of twrp would cause this issues since I've not tried any. When choosing a twrp to install just read carefully if it has a kernel for jdi display or if you need to patch the zip file to fix it.
[T-Mobile LG G2] yapoyo:
Is there an easy way to unroot so that T mobile wouldn't know I rooted my phone if I sent it in for service? Not likely to ever need it but just in case something goes wrong.
[T-Mobile LG G2] optyqus:
I only know that by reverting back to stock rom the phone unroots. However, if your phone has twrp or other custom recovery installed you really need to follow this exact tutorial on flashing a stock rom, otherwise you may brick the drvice:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

(the kdz method)

In conclusion, if you have a custom recovery installed do not attempt to loose the root by installing a stock rom using the auto-update function or by downloading the update from LG or carriers website. You need to follow the method provided in the link above; it may seem a bit complicated but really is not, you just need the flash tool, the drivers installed and the precise kdz for your phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2] inpherknow:
I successfully rooted using this method. It was VERY easy.

The problem that I have now is installing TWRP.

I attempted flashing TWRP using Flashify, but that doesn't seem to work (I used TIBU to reboot into recovery, but instead it reboots to the OS). Is autorec the only way to install TWRP? What about installing CWM?
[T-Mobile LG G2] noodles2224:
Where can I download this again? I flashed the latest preview then I reverted back to 4.4.4 but I lost this file and now every time I try downloading this app, it says it has a virus? Never showed that before. When I use my phone to download, it just keeps on opening blank pages non stop until I force close the browser.

Flash a custom rom from another region is the only choice. G900A is specifically made for AT&T therefore it doesn't even have language.xml (or it will not read langauge.xml if you add it there) file for additional language.

Technically if language.xml is not present then android should display all languages available.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TenderloinShadow:
Ok, so I was just sitting around, checking an email on my phone, when it crashed. It has since been in an endless bootloop, where the splash screen "Samsung Galaxy S3" appears, and then it reboots.

- Battery pull doesn't stop it. The moment I put the batter back in, I don't have to press the power button, it just automatically triggers the bootloop again.

- Cannot get into Recovery. I can use the button combo to start booting to recovery, but then it suddenly reboots back into the bootloop.

- Cannot get into Download mod. I can use the button combo to get into it, but then it reboots back into the bootloop.

I have no idea what caused this. I've been running custom ROMs on my phone for 2 years with no issue.
