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.

CF-Auto-Root​
Chainfire said:
So here's only the short instructions: flash the included .tar.md5 as PDA using Odin, and make sure repartition is not checked. You should see a red Android coming up, and your device will be rooted. If the device boots normally without the red Android, reboot into recovery manually to trigger the process.
This root will trigger the flash counter, which you can reset (currently only the Qualcomm variant) using Triangle Away.
Downloads:
Qualcomm-based GT-I9505: http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip
(Should work on MD2 and newer, but not MDN and MDM firmwares)
NOTE:
Some have reported success on Sprint S4's, though I still advise against using it and waiting for a Sprint specific version.
AT&T S4's are locked, do not use this root unless you have unlocked it
VZW S4's are not seen in the wild yet, but I fully expect those to be locked as well, and incompatible with this root before a bootloader unlock

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.

I recently bricked my s3 trying to install a custom rom. This time around with my new G2 i am just going to root, so i need to know what the best root is right now and is there a possibility of bricking during root process? Also i am on the verizon VS980 with the JDQ39B build on 4.2.2. Thanks
There always is a slight Chance that something can go wrong. As long as you know what you are doing you should be fine. I also have the Verizon model and I rooted it and installed custom roms without any problems. Just make sure to backup

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.

Is there still a way to unlock it for custom roms? I've been away from forums for a while and never updated my G2 yet.
