So i read off a guide how to get rooted from a chinese program etc. now i just want my phone squeeky clean just like how i bought it so i can follow a LEGIT guide on this forum to get ADB, root, TWRP or CWM and flashing roms working again. Iv never flashed one rom on this yet. If i download the stock LG G2 T MOBILE build and put it onto my phone. Will it remove the chinese super user/root off of it?
I can enter downloade mode so that is no problem.
Thanks again!
I just need my phone like it came from the manufacturer so I can start rooting knowing that there won't be issues in the future

From what I understand, you will still be able to get updates thru OTA.

the recovery "kill" the otas, not the root.
so you have costom recovery you will get the ota but you will be unable to install it, if you use jest a root and have stock recovery - you fine and will get the ota.

I my self do not have a custom recovery. I am just rooted and running stock ROM. I had asked the same question maybe a month ago, and I was told that I would still be able to get OTA updates. If I am wrong, feel free to tell me.

you right.
if you use stock recovery you will get OTAs
if its stock and merely rooted then OTA should work
For the OTA to be accepted, you'll need the stock recovery for your device. Rename it to recovery.img (if it already isn't named that) and then move it to sdcard root (/sdcard).
Now, use a terminal emulator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en) and open a command prompt. The command we're using has two parameters. The the "if" parameter refers to your input file, in this case, this is the recovery.img file you moved to your sdcard root to flash. This could be any recovery (TWRP, CWM, stock, etc). The "of" parameter is the output file and is the actual physical path to the recovery image your device uses. At the command prompt type this:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
If you already have the stock recovery then all you need to do is press "Accept" or "OK" or whatever the dialog asks when it pops up letting you know about the update. I'm not sure if the stock recoveries are different for each carrier, so you'll have to find that yourself.
Edit: By the time I finished typing this I see that you already are on stock recovery, so you should be good to go
Idk mines flashed to stock and rooted

Just bought a g2 and am thinking of rooting to enable the auto hide of the on screen menu buttons. So correct me if im wrong but if all i do is root, leave the stock rom and do nothing apart from root i will still get ota updates.
But the update can remove root right? So is there any way I can keep my phone from automatically updating and losing root? I don't want to lose root... Mainly cuz i love not having software keys.

SuperSU Pro has an OTA survival Mode. You can try it out, it should work

Try the above or remove/freeze whatever the apk your carrier uses for the OTA. There's a couple threads around with more info.

Another question: (don't want to start a thread for this)
If you have custom recovery (In my case TWRP) when an OTA lands, obviously I won't be able to accept it.
I'll need to flash it through TWRP correct?
If this is the case will this simply apply as OTA's do and not delete any of my data on the phone etc?
Also is there a stock recovery I can download just to make things easier??
First time I've had a phone rooted and with recoverybefore it's update cycle is over, and Google isn't really being all that helpful
How to backup stock recovery?
I just picked up the G2 two days ago and rooted pretty much immediately (via ioroot10) but other than that, I'm still running completely stock. I saw some recent posts stating that it was now possible to install TWRP or CWM on the D80010o firmware, so I decided I would go ahead and take the OTA update and then install a custom recovery. However, I have tried install the OTA several times now and every time, when the phone reboots after downloading the update, I get error "0x1117008" when the OTA tries to install, and then the phone reboots to system and I get a popup stating something to the effect of "This device is suspected of rooting. Software updates will not be available for rooted devices." Checking the software version I see that I'm still on D80010d and the 10o OTA update is still available and has to be downloaded again.
Anyone else have this issue?
And no, I have not installed a custom recovery yet.

Nice to see you here dude.. may remember me from the rocket? Anyways, i'd just skip the OTA. It's nothing life changing. I'm still stock/rooted on 10d. Waiting for bugs to get squashed on 4.4.2 before I start flashing. Rather enjoying stock for the time being. Not really sure why 10o won't take. Haven't seen anyone else mention this. The only thing that has been brought up repeatedly is bootloops in twrp after taking the 10o OTA.

I am having the same error but don't remember seeing the same pop-up, just says install failed or something like that. I'm on Verizon stock Rom rooted. I've done plenty of mods by manually pushing them through, but I have the stock recovery and no custom recovery.... So safe to say, looks like you can't update with root. Gonna start searching for unroot then re root after update is installed. Doesn't seem like there is another way to do it. Anybody know if the temp unroot via superuser apk will work?

I am still investigating. I've unrooted via Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and a little extra housekeeping, and the Rooting Status does show "unrooted" in the About Phone section. However I still get 0x1117008 when trying to install the OTA. So perhaps the "unrooted" in About Phone may be a prerequisite, but is not sufficient for a successful OTA update. Maybe either the update is doing more checks for rooting evidence than the RCT daemon, or perhaps there is some other change that is triggering the error.
So basically turning a provider locked phone into the european open D802?
edit: another question:
If i do a nandroid backup of my stock LG rom, is it possible to just do a nandroid back up, install stock recovery and basically "lock" the phone without the hassle of having to go through the longer "unrooting" guide?
thanks in advance!
It should be enough to follow the "back to stock rom" thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 , this will change the current rom with a stock LG rom using LGs own tools.
Partially no, it flashes based on IMEI region. You want to flash a EUA KDZ. Then disable OTA.
I apologize for the lack of knowledge. Ive flashed all my phones so far sgs 1, nexus 4, galaxy nexus,htc one x and what confuses me about this phone the most is the kdz files.
My phone, for example, is a provider locked d802 - provider being www.a1.net
(Austria)
Now i followed the link you showed me but it only shows me open european d802 and some from germany files fir download. Would it be safe to flash those when reverting to stock considering i have a d802?
If i want to flash my provider's rom, how do i go on to acquiring those files ? Just incase of phone issues and i have to send my ohone in. Would it be as simple as flashing my stock nandroid backup, flashing stock recovery and typing fastboot oem lock in cmd ?
Im sorry for all those questions, while im quite confident i would get it done, i just like to acquire the basic understanding needed before i start anything.
Not to say i dont understand the effort put together by those who made the threads (how to flash/revert to stock etc.) But the threads to a certain degree are limited to just a simple how to when they could maybe use a little bit more detail.
Thanks in advance guys! Looking forward to rooting this thing

If by unlocked, you mean allow you to put any Sim card in it and it work, no I don't think there is a way to make that work. Roms deal with a totally different part of the phone than the carrier lock. If you mean boot loader unlock, that would specific to your phone model and flashing one from a different model could do nasty things to your phone. I would suggest finding the exact forum for your phone model (I.e. at lg g2, international g2 etc).
They should have all the info you need, and to carrier/Sim unlock your your phone to use on various providers- I would Google "Sim unlock *insert phone name here*) and read through til you find a site that will work out.
Edit* I just saw your provider, u "should" have an international version and you should be able to easily bootloader unlock, root and flash the phone. Be sure to read carefully before attempting anything though.

Oh.. So although im provider locked and own a d802 i basically still have the international version and therefor should follow the d802 international guides/should be able to flash d802 roms?? I really apologize if my questions have been stupid so far. Just i am very cautious. Thanks a bunch though.
But can you answer thr nandroid part (in bold text) ? Basically reverting to stock with nandroid backup, flashing stock recovry und locking the phone in fast boot. Is this doable on the g2? Thanks a lot once again appreciate it
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
If you unlock your boot loader and install a custom recovery like clockwork mod or teamwin recovery you can then make a nandroid of the exact stock ROM to restore back to. Relocking the boot loader is separate but usually fairly easily done. More often than not, the steps to relock the boot loader are laid out in the same thread to unlock it.
Be very careful, most of the time, once you start changing things you NEVER EVER want to accept an ota update from lg until you return EVERYTHING back to stock.
My recommendation would be unlock, install twrp and flash a custom ROM. That way you won't ever be asked to do an lg update, and most custom Roms end up being as stable or more so than the software that came on the device to begin with.
Or to return to total stock easier, most phones have a "factory" image that flashes in Odin or some other similar software meant for that device. It will erase everything, remove root and relock the phone all at once I believe. Just remember to read everything at least twice, and try to totally understand exactly what you are about to do.

I have a VS980.
I rooted and installed TWRP when the phone first came out. Normally, I have a folder on my computer with all packagsa, and notation of what and how I do whatever on my phones. I decided to finally install the OTA, but cant get it to take. I went into my folder and cant find the method of root I used. I have tried different methods with all of them failing.
Is there a way to install the OTA without me unrooting or returning my phone to factory? Im probably going to pick up the G3 in the next month and dont want to hassle until then.

yes there is, since you have custom recovery just install one of the kk roms for vs980
Heya,
I need to returns my phone to as-purchased-state, which means if I am not missing anything - unroot, stock rom, stock recovery
I have rooted the phone, installed custom ROM (cloudy) and TWRP.
On my previous phone, samsung s2, the download mode had a flash counter that indicated how many times I flashed a rom.
On my LG G2, the download mode just says "rooted".
1) So where do I get a stock rom from?
2) Where do I get stock recovery?
3) How do I wipe any evidence of root?
4) In what order do I need to do everything?
I did google and came up with some of these answers, but I put my trust in XDA and hoping I won't f*ck my phone up by doing something in the wrong order.
Thanks!
Sorry this isn't an answer, but it might help you get an answer.

Use the kdz method to return to stock. Its in the dev forum. You need the drivers for your phone, the kdz firmware, lgflash tool. All can be found in the dev section.
