I heard that LG G2 records rooted status if we root the phone. Where can I check this status to see if the counter was tripped? I have a T-Mobile D801 G2.
Thanks.
Put the phone in download mode, iirc power + vol down and plug in the usb cable as it powers on. It will either say rooted or unrooted. If you rooted it will say rooted so no need to check.
Easier way....Settings, About Phone, Status, Root Status.

That may be a Verizon thing, as that isn't available on the d801
Does the T-Mobile version has any sort of root checker then?

If I root my phone using the method above, will it void my warranty? I know when you usually root a phone it does void your warranty, but the reason why I'm asking is because towards the bottom of the main post in that root thread, it says this:
"Why is it asking if I want to 'trip rootchecker'?
LG's phones come with some software loaded that detects the presence of root on a phone, and invalidates your warranty.
Rooting the phone, by nature, voids your warranty. You can put your phone in a special mode where ADB shell has root permissions, however your phone is not technically 'rooted' by app standards.
You will not be able to use 'root required' apps on your phone if you do not let the root script install Superuser."
If you unroot and go back to stock it reverts to show that your phone is not rooted.

Yes... rooting voids your warranty. Thread Closed.

What about in download mode? (while powered off plug in usb while holding volume up, to get out just hold power until it reboots) others have mentioned this one still remains in rooted status.

Nope.... That one went back to unrooted as well

After you root the G2, there is a flag that is set which shows the phone as rooted while in Download mode. If you use this guide to unroot, does the "ROOTED" flag disappear from Download mode or is that permanent?
Thanks

Sorry, I wasn't entirely specific with my question. This applies to the international d802 model, does any one know if this is the same? I ask this because the guide for unrooting are different for the d802 and the d800, and perhaps the flag isn't the same on both versions.
I'm talking about getting unrroted status on the download mode also.
Yes. See this ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
this works, but make sure you have the firmware for the correct model number of your phone.
No, in order to unroot fully you must invent a time machine.

I was under the impression that once you root you blow a qfuse. With any fuse once blown there is no changing it since it is a piece of hardware that has changed. Not software.

if i'm wrong, i would like to know. I did the procedure that I quoted above and the phone says unrooted on the download screen. d801.
My experience is that the phone displays no trace of having been rooted after performing the full unroot procedure. It says "unrooted" in the download menu.
Here are the steps specifically from Verizon users, with quite a few confirmations of phone returning to full "Unrooted" status.

There's triangle away for other phones but I haven't heard of it for ours, just brick your phone so it won't turn on before returning it

Is there a way on att lg g2?
Once I root my phone, the warranty is void. I read that once you go back to stock unrooted, somewhere it shows that you've been rooted. Still voiding the warranty.
Is there any way to get by this?

I want to root, but also want to make sure I can unroot safely.
But I do have att protection plan so maybe this doesn't even matter.

I worked for AT&T. No one checks for root. Take my advice with a grain of salt but warranty applies to the manufacturer not the mobile company. You should be alright.
sweet. thanks.
by any chance can i get some direction on how to get a custom recovery loaded? Ive tried a bunch of different ways. I got the ota update on att before i rooted.
thanks for the info

Tried searching but came up short... Is there a way to unroot the Verizon VS980??
I know it probably will, but I've read that it doesn't trip Samsung's root checker, so I wondered if it trips the LG root checker?

Honestly don't know I used towel to root by g2 now its awesome. I once bricked my g2 in January by rooting with a computer and got a replacement I just said it didn't turn on and they gave me a new one (it was rooted) so I'm not really worried if I'm rooted or not
I havent seen an LG ROOT CHECKER. And what you mean with Samsung is that it doesn't strip Knox to 0x1

Only evidence I've found of a phone being rooted is if you throw it in download mode. It then says" rooted" at the bottom in red text. However, flashing back to stock using KDZ or TOT once again return the phone to "unrooted" status
