I've been thinking about rooting my G2 for bluetooth sixaxis support but intend on updating too kitkat when it is released.
I'm aware I would loose my root access but will I be able to update OTA once the update arrives? Or will restoring the phone be required?

As mentioned a zillion times, accepting OTA with root or custom recovery is a one way street to Bricksville

Not really. I'm rooted and have tried to take Sprint's OTA a couple times. It just seems to fail and reboots normally, no changes.

Don't encourage people to do things which are known to cause problems.
I would root and flash a stock based ROM. After kitkat is released someone will make a new ROM from the update.

So after rooting there's no way to go back to entirely stock LG ROM for OTAS in the future?

Restore stock recovery should do it.
Remember kids, back up your EFS. FreeGee can do it, TWRP can as well.

Perhaps not advisable just in case.......however, if you are completely stock including stock recovery but you have rooted you can install an ota successfully. At least it worked for me. I received an ota notice whilst on 10a (and whilst very drunk) and whilst rooted stock and it updated successfully to 10f. Also, my root was still in tact.
I wouldn't advise to try this until it has been clarified by someone of greater knowledge than myself however. At the moment, many are of the opinion that this may brick your device. If I had have been sober, I wouldn't have tried this and it may just be the case that I have been lucky.

Taking the OTA when rooted is fine as long as you have the stock recovery. If you have twrp or cwm then it's bootloop time where you just boot to recovery. If that happens and you have access to adb you can delete the fota and it'll boot normally again.
Ok.
Then,i can root,maintaning stock recovery and i can receive ota without problems or bootloop after update.
You confirm?

I always read that to instal upgrade with ota the tablet have to be all stock (no recovery custom, no sistem modify etc...)
Isn't so?
By the way, if i install the 4.3 on 4.2.2 in recovery mode, i have to do all wipes?... I can't install again all my apps during this holyday...
Thanks

I had the same problem, but flashing the 2.6.0.0 TWRP hepled. http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/grouper/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-grouper.img
Then to find the 4.3. system update for your Neuxs 7, you will have to clear data for Google Services Framework
Check the system update again and let it install it self.
Let me know if that worked for you.
Hello
I have this phone about 5 months and I am still struggling to find a way to root it . I tried all the apks that I know but still nothing . If you have a suggestion to make or a specific answer please reply
Thnx
So thank you all I rooted my device Using Kingroot (I used the mobile version)
if i helped you hit that thnx button
Don't bother.
I was rooted for a couple hours and had to return to stock. Thats how bad it is.
You cant delete apps, tmobile device diagnostics constantly asks for root permissions to send phone data. No roms, not even a mostly broken rom.
If you really want to root, go into the xda search bar and look up lg leon d/e/f root.

In my case, h340ar, the only method working is kingroot v4.6.0 . only that version
if you want to flash a custom recovery
the only way to flash a custom reccovery is to either wait for a system update or to manually update your lg leon variant from 5.0.x to 5.1.x
BUT, why wait when you can upgrade your device yourself?
here's my guide on how to manually upgrade your OS
Hi guys,
With the idea to help people unbrick their phones and also to be able to downgrade from MM to LP easier, I have uploaded the latest raw firmware for ZOOA on Mega.
Please, while you will find this useful, don't forget to press my thanks button.

Note: You need to use "Asus flash tool" to flash it. Mega Mirror Link : https://mega.nz/#!JF91lazI!lQSdQcN5YXIFsaCWtTVHfsvGK1u82NKvy8-X9XIfR0g

So I got this OTA update before I finally decided to root/unlock/etc my device. After success with rooting and unlocking the bootloader, I simply can not get any custom recovery to work. Sadly I have seen the problem mentioned several times here on this forum with no answers.
Basically, after a successful installation of a recovery (via android terminal method or pc/fastboot method), I'll boot the phone into fastboot, then select 'recovery.' Screen goes to black, vibrates twice, and reboots to fastboot instead. Only after I boot normally, then reboot into fastboot and try to select recovery again does it boot into a error message (instead of bootlooping), and after 30 secs it loads what I assume is some version of stock recovery.
Can OP ( or anyone else) lend their thoughts?

Yes, but things like VOLTE and wifi calling may not work. You can flash XSA CSC afterwards to get those working. I don't think it is worth the effort/ potential risk imho. There is little to be gained. Don't forget to backup if you decide to do it though.

I need to try the new update soon as possible as I have an issue with the update of July, as many others have, here the details:

Hmmm, never heard of or had that problem - I'm on July.
Yeah, man, it should work. As long as you have G935F (which you must have to have XSA). My phone is running neither the firmware, nor the CSC that I bought it with. There is the (potential?) carrier compatibility issue that I mentioned earlier as ur CSC will change - however easily fixed. Otherwise shouldn't be any compatibility issues.
If ur rooted, you may as well flash a ROM on TWRP while ur at it though?
The usual disclaimer is that I can't guarantee you that nothing will go wrong as there are always theoretical risks. I also never made you do it. Remember to back up first
