Root for kitkat 4.4.2

Hi All,
I flashed the official kitkat for poland from sammobile and lost root.
Does anyone know if the new firmware has already been rooted?

Yes use the LG Flashtool there is a tutorial in the AT&T LG G2 Development forums. It's pretty easy to do.
Here is my tutorial

[Q]Locked bootloader?

I have a question if I can install sacs kk v3 on my l720, L720VPUEMK2?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

also if I don't like can I restore the back up I made using Teamwin

Yes you can. Bootloaders on sprint do not block you from using ANY custom ROM.

How would I go about installing sacs kk v3

Search and follow instructions on sacs thread. With the questions you are asking I hope you know how to root and install a custom ROM if you haven't done so already.

Rooted plus I backed up using TWRP

TWRP crashes on wipe and restore what is going on?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Might be a bad backup or recovery, try flashing the newest version and then try your restore again. Worst-case, your backup is corrupted and you'll need to start fresh on whatever ROM you have.
Are you trying to restore your backup for some reason?

Found out it was TWRP 2.7.0.0 recovery, but the backups go through and when I reboot it hangs at galaxy s4 screen. Scas custom rom would hang at Android kit kat rotating loading screen. I did give it 10 mins just in case it was the first boot but it never booted.

You need to use Philz or TWRP 2.7.0.1
Odin the recovery for best results and when flashing a ROM reboot recovery after doing wipes, then install ROM

Will safestrap work?

There is no need for safe strap . the bootlaoder is unlocked. If you're talking about the safe strap Roms from Verizon. They should work.

Are you 100% sure, It's a knox 4.3 bootloader.

Sprint phones NEVER require safestrap. That is a Verizon thing because they have locked bootloaders. I'm on NAE rooted with Knox tripped and don't have any issues flashing Roms.

Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/d802-bootloader-changer-1-1-jb-kk-lp-t3104380
And then flash a KitKat baseband then you can install KitKat Roms.

Possibly, download twrp from blastgator it is bumped and doesn't need loki signature.

i did everything you said....how u said it.....and still..same thing "loki failed" i even updated twrp to new bumped twrp....idk maybe its because i didnt wipe.? i just wanna get back on kk because lolipop is killing me. i just got back into recovery and flashed the lolipop rom again to get my phone back on. this really sucks

If you really want to go on a KitKat ROM you will have to use the tot method to get to stock KitKat and then root your phone using stumproot/towelroot. Then use autorec for KitKat to install recovery then update recovery with blastgator twrp then install KitKat baseband then you can flash your KitKat ROM. Make sure to do wipe before installing new rom

In all honesty, if the method I have provided has not worked then flash back to stock KitKat and follow the guide I typed above.
