I used Kingo and it worked like a charm. Here is the link to download it http://goo.gl/xV8iA5.

Use this recognized method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887
Doesn't show SPR version but if you follow the instructions it will work.

Oh I know I was just wondering which one u flashed after root
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk

sorry, misunderstood. I actually haven't flashed one.
I am waiting until one has been tested for the SPR version. I know that some of the models are very similar but I don't want to take a chance.
If you get one working let me know.

None. Help test if you want it faster.
At the moment rcartaz09 and Faznx92 are right. There are no confirmed ways to root 13.3.2.1 and 14.3.2.1 just yet. If you want to stay up to date on things I recommend taking time to go through the forum for this device and read through them carefully: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2540
Also two threads I found to stay up to date on this topic are the following. Just simply read, follow up, and be patient:

Here goes nothing....
Well, I got a pass!..but then root checker shut me down sooo I'm not quite sure what this is???
Nothing to see here. It's just a stock non-rooted odexed firmware tar. No different than what's on Kies.
That site/article is nothing more than a click bait.

As stated above this is merely a stock ROM which is why you were able to get a "pass"

[FIX] Trouble Putting In Download Mode After D80120G OTA With Broken Root

I recently accepted the D80120G OTA form T Mobile while rooted on stock recovery and naturally root broke. I couldn't reroot with stump root because the root script was still on the phone. Stump root said device was already rooted. I tried to install KDZ file to "unroot", but could not get phone to boot into download mode.
The following is a fix for rerooting your phone with stump root if it says your device is already rooted even though your root is broken.
1) Launch LG Mobile support tool
2) With phone on, plug in USB
3) Select PC Software from phone USB settings
4) Wait for LG support tool to recognize phone
5) Select "Upgrade Recovery" from options in LG support tool
6) Wait for LG Support tool to complete recovery
You shouldn't need to back up anything as it will not wipe your phone. However, better safe than sorry.
Now stump root should work with brute force method!
This worked for me! Thanks so much for the post!

Btw my phone was rooted before 20g and just wanted to ask if i dont wanna factory reset my phone b4 this method..
This method did not reset my phone. However; backing up is still good practice before doing anything. Best of luck to you.
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Free mobile app
Hey. I really love you for this. It worked like a charm. How you figured it out bro? The process of recovery upgrade seems to manipulate system files which enabled the rooting process to succeed.
Anyways thanks again.

Brilliant!
Many thanks for posting this...worked perfectly!
FWIW, my phone was NOT recognized after installing the G2 drivers from the LG download page. I had to install the entire LG PC Suite. No idea why this worked out over against simply installing the drivers, but I thought I'd add the tidbit here in case anyone else has the same issue.
Thanks again!
Mine says no problem to fix

I faced this issue some time ago but my phone wasn't rooted. I did a CSE flash to JB and took OTA until my phone was up-to-date and when i reached the last update I couldn't boot into download mode.

Worked like charm for my T-mo G2 D801 20G with lost root access after taking OTA (4.4.2.) Had to do it twice (crashed during install at 80%) and it does involve the 1.6GB download of the firmware (for those who are wandering)... Thanks for this.

Without experiencing this issue myself, I would suggest checking each step for completion. Aside from that I cant offer any alternative fixes. Hopefuly someone else on this board can discover a work around from their experience.

I have the same issue.

Need a little help...

I accidentally messed around with my build.prop and mistyped something causing my phone to brick. So the problem atm is I can't even use my phone with messages popping up such as "Unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped working" and "Unfortunately the process Home has stopped working." I tried to factory resetting which didn't work at all. Right now I am trying to fix it through flash but I can't since when I plug my USB into my computer, I can't changed my USB settings to MTP and since the messages shown above keeps popping up preventing me from clicking anything on my screen. Any help would be appreciated!
You "accidentally messed arround with the build.prop"???
Can you access TWRP recovery?
You do know that you can transfer files over it?

.___.
It is a modernised recovery menu,with easier,touch controls.
Basically a MUST when flashing roms.
I guess you dont have that...
Now the only thing you can do is flash the stock rom again with the kdz or tot method.
DO NOT TRY RESTORING IT WITH LG PC SUITE!
It will brick your device,because it had been rooted(LG made that on purpose-"kill dem rooted phones")

With the LG PC Suite,LG Flash Tool or the TOT method?
They react differently.
And if your phone won't ,you either have no drivers,or have bad ones.
Try on another PC also,but be sure to have drivers installed.
Connect the device inDOWNLOAD MODE

I used the LG Flash Tool. I downloaded the driver I believe called the LG United something, don't exactly remember the name.
I tried on 2 PCs already with the same result unable to recognize my phone even though I hear the sound when I plug it in.
And how do I connect it through download mode? Jk I found out how. I'll see what happens next.

That was the model I was trying to change to during build.prop, and I'm assuming the flash is assuming my model is the samsung one.

I probably could help you if you had an international d802 variant.
