Just updated to 4.4.2 from a rooted 4.2.2 and lost root when I accepted the OTA update.
Being new to android I am wondering how long it typically take for a new root to be released?
I moved to android from iPhone because I was tired of waiting months for a jailbreak every time an updated ios was released.
Depends on how difficult lg made the firmware to root

I just wrote kingoapp asking if and/or when kitkat on our phones will be supported. If I hear back Ill report it.

Who? Me? You know what kingoapp is, right? Its a root everything program, I asked them when they will update it to include rooting our phones with KK. Soon as I hear back you will have your date.
Sorry, no not you. It was meant for gunnyman.
Being a newbie I'm just wondering typically how long it takes to get a working root after an update. I don't expect anyone to be able to tell me the exact date when a root program will be available for the G2 on kit Kat.

There's honestly no way of telling how long. Seriously... it can be a few days or even months. It all depends how long it takes to figure out.
Your best bet is to check the xda LG G2 forum for your specific carrier. Check it daily and someone will post about the progress. But don't post on the forum yourself.

There IS no typical it's not like there's a timer or anything. The HTC One X on At&T went 6 MONTHS without Root.
Root will happen when it happens or maybe not at all.
Kingoapp wrote me back, this is what they said:
As to 4.4 firmware, the known root methods are all via flashing custom recovery, which requires a lot manual operations and involves huge risks. So, I am sorry, it is not supported.
So it looks like a no go there....

You should not be commenting if you don't understand the process and efforts needed to figure it out, you can throw all the ROM cooks at it you want, will still take however long it will take to figure out, so sit down, chill the F out and wait, or learn Android ROM cooking and do it yourself, you aren't going to rush those that are doing this on their own time for free

I just got a message just a few momenta ago on my phone to download a update. I didn't take it but wanted to ask, it says it was an update for 2.3 gingerbread and said it was for 4.22.651.1
I'm puzzled because my phone says I'm running 4.22.651.2 and thought I was screwed out of being able to root.
Can any one help me understand this, and let me know if I'm capable of rooting cause I've done my homework and realized that I'm just S.O.L. for now
Or am I?

I've never accept an OTA, but want to. I unrooted to go to Sprint, the phone is being swapped, but would rather have Gingerbread until then. When I check for updates it finds none even though it has 2.2 on it now. Any idea why?

No, all they did basically was update the kernel. If you don't take it, your battery is gonna be draining way too fast. There is nothing in 4.24 that isn't in 4.22 as far as being able to root it goes.
Plus if you don't take it you won't be able to use netflix either... I dunno if you use such things lol.
Thanks the info! I'm gonna go download it right now. You've been a great help.

I just wanted to give my opinion about rooting, I'm sure a lot of people like to do so, but on this device I don't think that you need to, I did a root on my .gs1 because of lag, then my arc needed more then root lol but my sgs 3 so far the best phone that I ever seen, not perfect, but as for lag, battery life, speed its top!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
There a a ton of reasons to root besides lag.
I have an app that requires root that keeps my clock in sync with the actual atomic clock time. The system clock will, over time, be too fast or too slow which means that eventually my phone is a few minutes off.
I have an app that requires root that is used to freeze/quarantine bloatware.
I have an app that requires root that allows me to backup not only my applications, but the application data as well.
I also enjoy root for custom ROMs and kernels that have less lag/stutter than the phone normally does (and yes, this still applies to the Samsung Galaxy S3).
There are always reasons to root.
I understand, I'm not saying not too, for me if the phone is good I'm leaving it stock
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Root no >> then no Nandroid and No TB no Ad Blocker . No push apps .

Rooting has absolutely nothing to do with reducing lag or anything at all performance wise.
Rooting just gives you superuser permissions on your device.
Even if you are running an octo core phone with 5gb of ddr3 ram, rooting still offers benefits.

Just want like to find out if there will be a way to root this. That's all I want to do.

The answer should be quite clear. Time. Time is all that matters now and it's indefinite to say when or even IF there will be another root method. Dan and Adam have stated before multiple times that the GS4 is an extremely secure device. I wouldn't be surprised if the holidays come around with nothing to show but a lot of research and heart ache.

We've known about this for a while now. The site is a pay site. The Rom is Korean. I'm not sure if it was helpful or not. I remember reading somewhere that it wasn't helpful for porting to other devices. Especially since this is a few weeks old and I haven't heard any more movement on it or any breakthroughs in KitKat porting.

People tend to forget there are a lot more people with knowledge about developing and fixing roms. But most of them have a job and can't update a rom like Starlighter. There is simply no time for that. But they can help out fixing a KDZ base (Korean/verizon).
When it's available for everyone with knowledge it will be booting a lot faster.
