You should flash back to stock. It took me about an hour and that was 're rooting. I googled how to unroot LG g2 att version and there's a video that will walk you right through it. I watched it about 5 times and it was real simple. The hardest part is downloading the 2 gb file. I am not a noob nor an expert but it was real easy. I didn't want to wait any longer to flash

I flashed update 4.2.1 factory image from Google website. And flashed latest CWM recovery and supersuV0.98 both. It goes well for root explorer and Titanium backup apps and so on.
Problem is, I couldn't use "adb shell mount -o remoun, rw /system" on my laptop！Only we could do is by adb shell, then type su to get root to operate system files. It seems system couldn't get completed root! Something must goes wrong... Anybody can help?

I rooted my Nexus 7 with CWM using ADB's sideload feature. I'm using ubuntu linux with fastboot and adb at my fingertips. I simply typed in this
adb sideload (filename.zip) (Be sure to navigate to where the .zip su is located.)
example: sudo ./adb sideload supercwm.zip (Sudo on linux gives root permissions and the ./ runs the specific program in the current location)
I'm looking for some instructions on how to make a complete backup/dump of my current Stock Recovery.
I'm running djembey's pre-rooted ROM on an i9505 and everything works fine. Looking to flash a Custom Recovery to continue fiddling around with my device, but I would like to backup my Stock Recovery before proceeding, yes I am aware that there are Stock Recovery images floating around but this is for my own knowledge/reference. Would be great if someone could point me in the right direction!

Hi, Ben Ling...
Using Android Terminal Emulator to flash a Custom Recovery is syntactically complicated, and is prone to typographical errors. You have to type in a long, complicated and potentially error prone command line argument.
First off, you already need to be rooted. If you aren't, then forget it... it simply won't work.
Anyway... here is the command line...
Code:
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/recovery-image-file.img of=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS
Whilst this does work, I think it's significantly easier to just use something like Flash Image GUI or Flashify to flash a Custom Recovery directly from the Nexus 7.
I haven't used the <dd, if, of> syntax via Terminal Emulator for ages... preferring instead to just use Flashify to flash the latest version of TWRP (or for that matter, CWM) on my Nexus 7.
You will of course, already need to be rooted first, as both Flash Image GUI or Flashify, request SU access on first use.
So... if you're looking to flash a Custom Recovery in order to acquire root in the first place... you'll need to do it the old fashioned way first... ie., fastboot flash recovery recovery.img... and then using that Custom Recovery, flash Chainfire's v1.75 SuperSU root .zip..
All of these methods... Using Terminal Emulator, Flash Image GUI or Flashify to install a Custom Recovery, are only useful if you're seeking to UPGRADE to the latest version of TWRP/CWM... as they all assume you're ALREADY have root - and won't work if you aren't.
Hope this helps.
Rgrds,
Ged.

I've used the flash_image command myself, on my Advent Vega. But it's a stand alone binary/executable... and on my KitKat Nexus 7, TE reports it as 'not found'... and I have busybox installed.
Here is my Nexus 7 TE output... both without and with root...
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ flash_image
/system/bin/sh: flash_image: not found
127|[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # flash_image
su-mksh: flash_image: not found

It would be useful, though, to have flash_image installed. Kind of puzzled why busybox doesn't have it.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Just Google search
Install flash image binary android
Its fast to install and for the most part universal, although I can't say I've ever used it on kitkat (havet had a chance to flash kitkat yet)

Never accept an OTA with Custom Recovery.
You need to wipe everything and then flash a kdz.

if you have not already flashed back to stock and have adb access you can try the following command-
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
I have not yet flash the stock rom. Before attempting to experiment on below, have you tried below procedure?

Those commands are from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 and what they do is they remove the ota so that it's like you didn't take it before and may let you boot into os without having to flash back to stock, but if it doesn't work then your only other choice is flash back to stock

Flash CWM.
Once done, do a backup and try CF Root for another model of s5. If it works, report this useful anwser. If it doesn't works, say it and restore your backup.
Can you inbox me Chainfire details, i might be able to give him a stock rom.

Is there a way that I can possibly upload the 900i firmware to flash back to if something goes wrong?

I don't kwow but you can do a backup of your recovery using DD in ADB shell and try to flash CWM for another model of s5. If it doesn't works, restore the img file using DD in ADB shell

You must connect your phone in ADB and enter this command :
adb shell su -c "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=4096"
I don't kwow if the recovery partition is right mmcblk0p10 for your phone. The SG-900H recovery partition is mmcblk0p10 and for SM-G900F it's mmcblk0p16.
Try to backup the two partition with the commands :
adb shell su -c "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/recovery-h.img bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/sdcard/recovery-f.img bs=4096"
Look at the recovery.img size. A recovery image amount of size is 10 mb.
I think this command may be universal but i not tested it :
adb shell su -c dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery.img
Hope this helps
