[G2 General] Saml01:
Hello.

I made a quick write up of the process I followed last night to root my new Tmobile LG G2 on 4.4.2 software version D80120A because I could not find one. so I had to piece together my own plan of attach based on a few threads.

I wanted to add it to the CM wiki but apparently making changes to a wiki is not as simple as it seems. With that said I would like to post it here but I don't know how to do it in a politically correct manner to give everyone appropriate credit and not break any rules. I am posting my steps below, if someone knows how to quickly convert this into a standard that complies with forum rules and can either help me or post it in the correct section I would really appreciate it.

Also, Please double check my guide. I need a fresh set of eyes to critique the procedure in case I missed something.

Thank You

If the system gets stuck at the Cyanogenmod boot screen for longer than 10 minutes you will need to go back to recovery and wipe Dalvik and Cache. To do this you need to shut off the phone. Hold the power button until the phone turns off but don’t let go right away, the phone will first reboot and the LG logo will appear. You need to keep holding the power button past this point until the phone powers off.

Once the phone is off hold the power and down arrow until you see the LG logo then quickly release and re-press power and down. If you did this right you will be taken to “Factory Hard Reset”. Don’t worry. Hit power three times and then confirm. You will be taken to TWRP where you can wipe the cache and dalvik.
