Are any of the root processes totally reversible?
I have heard the verizon version of the G2 has a root checking function.
I signed up for the Jump Program and dont want to ruin eligibility.
Which root process is best for the T Mobile D801?
I've been using Nexus Devices for toooo long. LOL where is the T-Mo rom love?
Thanks
I also have the T-Mobile variant (D 801) and signed up for the JUMP program. Unfortunately, there is currently no well known proven way to reverse the process. The D801 also has a root checker. You could go back to the stock rom and hope it works for you. Mine still says "Rooted" IN RED LETTERS when I put it in download mode.
If there is still no way to reverse it, maybe selling it on eBay and paying it off will be last resort.
Still want to root? Go here

It is possible to go back the unrooted state by using the LG tools and flashing the phone back to the original firmware. It will return the phone back to original status. I had to do this after rooting my T Mobile D801 and getting stuck in the TWRP bootloop. Frustrating, but can be done though. After flashing, it should not show that it is rooted when connected to the PC in download mode.

So, one yes, and one no...
LG tools? Original Firmware Links?
Tmo seems to have very little love.
I downloaded the flash tool & lg driver form this thread, not the kdz file or the rom tool. Just the LG flashtools & the drivers. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Hi, guys,
I am a disappointed owner of HTC One with its "ultra purple" feature.
I am looking for replacement, this one seems good enough.
But I don't want to fall into the same hole again, so I need some advice about this phone
1) how is lg's service based on your experience ?
2) how easy this phone to root, installing custom rom and get back to stock rom
( if necessary) ? HTC has ruu, cid, s-off, etc, I found it not easy for newbie like me
Thanks in advance.

Its very easy to root and installing custom recovery and rom.After recovery is installed,you can make a back up of the rom and restore it after to its original state,in case something goes wrong,or just want to revert back from any other rom.Thats what i did.
This phone is the easiest phone I have ever rooted.
I have been working for 8 hours and the batter only went down 10 percent. Whatever lg did to this phone it is some good [email protected]@t. But looking forward tethering method since the phone came on T-Mobile 2 days ago

It's all easy and as expected the only advice is hurry up before Loki gets patched not that I know anything but we are all rightfully paranoid of OTA

i read the forum about the vroot chinese app.
i have used this app a week ago to root my lg g2 att. i used it because i seen that it was an universal root and phonedog.com showed it.
now im kind of worried now that my phone may be infected with who knows what from that app.
how would i go about of restoring my phone back to normal with hopefully nothing bad in it.
I did a wipe after and installed a custom ROM. I don't think you have too format the whole phone

if you look at the post above yours on the lgg2 general page that is what you have to do to get back to stock and then you have to reroot using the right method make sure you've got all the right drivers installed, there is another way of doing the same thing on the lg official website but im afraid youll have to search for it. I think its also on xda and it was a little easier

alright is the this correct thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
i have not installed any custom rom or anything. i just rooted with vroot program last week and just added few root apps.
Is there a way to restore the lg g2 to stock and reset any counters such as root checker, or anything of the sort? I have to send my G2 D800 in for warranty in a few days, and I definitely don't want them finding out about that. I have never flashed it, Just rooted.
anything
Is there any other information for this that would need to be provided?
Attention??
Why is this not getting any attention? I really need the help here
Full stock flash for your variant. Because, if you searched, you would find it.

I Have searched, perhaps not well enough, but I've searched for hours. I am having trouble confirming if there are traces of root or flashing AFTER I flash stock rom, and if so, how I would remove them. I haven't seen anything in regards to that. If you could kindly guide me to the answer that eludes me, that would be most appreciated.
From my understanding if you flash back to stock firmware for your model you'll be completely fine.

That seems to be the resounding conclusion. I just haven't seen any solid information about it. I want to be sure that's the case, ya know?
Thank you for the reply
Hi i have a d800 model of lg rooted 4.2.2 i have read a thread saying that you can update to kitkat even though rooted by calling ATT to push first the 10q update to your phone before pushing the main kitkat update and i tried that called ATT but after they pushed the 10q update i got this error saying ERROR 0X1117008 then it rebbots saying your phone is suspected rooted there is no update for rooted phones...can anyone explain this on me is it really possible to get the KK update even though rooted?
according to my thorough reading of the at&t kit kat roll out thread if you have modified anything it wont allow the install of the update what most people did was return to 10d via the lg flash tool root(and not change anything), update to 10o make sure root survived if not then root, then get att to push 10q check if root survived if not then root manually and then get att to push the 20c(kitkat) and fingers cross root would survive but there were the few which root did not survive and would start all over again hope this helps :good:
Thank you so much for the reply now its clear to me thats why im having error because i modified something..again thank you Zombie i really appreciate it.

you are welcome good luck with your update and if root isn't that important remember that bifau posted the dll and tot files in the at&t g2 development thread so that's another option if you are just planning on checking out whats new and then jumping back :victory:
Thank you zombie will check that .

Hello All,
I just purchased a G2 and it's running Android 4.2.2, Build # JDQ39B, Software Version D80010q.
I'd like to root and I just read This Newbie Guide
From reading that I got that I need to go back to Software version 80100d to root is that correct?
Is this the easiest way to do so? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369
Anything else I should be aware of?
Just hoping someone can help me. I'm going to wait for a response before I jump in and start doing things.
This is LG G2 signing off from XDA app. Until next time!

Can someone give me more info on this? Will IORoot give me root without having to go back to 80100d? I do want to flash ROMS and use a recovery like TWRP.
Did you even go to the IORoot thread and read?
