[Q] D801 4.2.2G stock recovery?

I'm looking to restore the stock recovery for tmo 4.2.2G and take the kk OTA and remain rooted. I first need to get back to stock recovery but I can't seem to find one. Anyone know where I can find it?

the only way to go back to stock recovery is to go back to stock but you can also follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2673736 which will allow you to have root and custom recovery

Hi Guys, I have read some topics about downgrading, but im not fully understanding if this is only for people who is already rooted or if this will work for a non rooted device. In my case i have an At&t Lg G2 not rooted with 4.4.2 kitkat and wanted to revert to 4.2 so i can root and then flash a rooted stock 4.4.2 kitkat. Is it possible to do that, even if i was never rooted? I do understand there's no root for kitkat as of now.
Thanks guys.

The rooted flag didn't clear when you updated to 4.4.2. There isn't root for kitkat. There probably won't be any time soon so if you want it back find one of the threads explaining how to downgrade and get root properly on kitkat. It

I've noticed this several times. It seems that the red ROOTED text only appears when you root the stock rom, or when you flash a .kdz format rom manually (rooted or not). I am currently running a Germany open rom on my international G2 which is not rooted. Yet still I see the red ROOTED text in download mode. Right now I'm using the firmware recovery option in the official LG Mobile Support Tool to recover to the international stock rom. I hope this is the KitKat rom but I'm not shure...
Maybe you should try to revert to the stock rom downloaded by the LG Mobile Support Tool, and hope It's the KitKat version. If not, maybe use the stock 4.2 and wait for the official release for your specific country.

The download was complete and my phone was restored to stock. It was a suprise that it actually is the KitKat update...
Unfortunately I also still have the red ROOTED text in download mode, while the rom is clean and official. I am sure the thing I said in my previous post applies to Android 4.2 as restoring the same way before KitKat changed the text to UNROOTED in grey. Maybe LG released an update so that once you root or flash a custom rom the rootchecker permanently states ROOTED. Maybe not, could also be some kind of bug in the early KitKat releases.
In your case you would probably end up having a completely stock rom but still having the ROOTED text just like me. I'd say its not worth your time and having to restore all your data and apps, but that's up to you...

I guess if you flash 10f or something the rooted label will be gone. I have read it in somewhere. But idk how can we update our phones to kitkat with no rooted notification

Yesterday I did "Update bootloader" through LG Mobile Support Tool. After that my D802 shows "unrooted".

The V10f version is Android 4.2.2. It's true that when you flash this version there will be no ROOTED notification.
I'll try to update my boot loader as mentioned in the post above this weekend.

Yeah, sorry, that's called "Upgrade recovery" in "Options menu". It seems that it reflashes the ROM and sets root checker to unrooted.

You should wipe and fastory reset before doing upgrade with lg mobile support tool
Reset when you are on custom recovery and after reseted do not power on the phone
Let go to download mode and do the update

[Q]Rooted Bin kitkat files?

hello, just got this phone yesterday. are there rooted bin files/kdz files for kitkat for this phone? care to link me to one if there is? firmware doesnt matter thanks!

more questions: can i flash international kdz files onto my lg g2 (at&t)
i came from lg p925, and i'm just wondering if most things will be similar, like same lg flashtool application and r&d flasher stuff. thanks again haha

Don't every cross flash kdzs please I don't think you can anyway haha
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app

any other comments? i dislike "think" xD

No cross flashing is a no for the device, some people do it at their own risk but with d800 a tot cross flash wouldn't work with the dll and tot file not matching the bin/model check just stick to the roms for your d800, as for flashing you can check out the back to stock thread on the general section and the method you would use is the flash tool with tot files

so after i root my phone, i can just use rom manager and flash cwm recovery, right? how do i enter recovery? i'm not familiar with lg g2 at all yet haha. and can i flash roms right afterwards? or do i need to install wkparks (or was that only for my previous phone)/uboot files?

Well to install recovery it depends if on 4.2 jb then which of all the versions are you on d80010d/o/q or are you in kk 4.4 d80020c/k
If on d80010q/o then downgrade to 10d then root and install custom recovery with freegee from play store, if on d80020c/k the you can install recovery via auto rec
If on 4.2 then after flashing recovery you can flash any aosp/jb Rom without worrying, but if you want a 4.4 stock/flex/pro 2 Rom then you will also need to flash a kk baseband, if on 4.4 then you can flash any 4.4 stock/flex/pro 2 Rom without issues but if you want aosp then you will need the kk baseband that's been ported to aosp or the jb baseband/If flashing 4.2 stock/flex based roms you will need the jb baseband, hopefully I am not forgetting anything

kitkat 4.4 80020c. (since my original question wasnt fully addressed, are there bin files [ap/cp] that i can use? i like flashing with lg flashtool rather than the kdz method.

Well I am not sure what you mean, for d800 you can only use flash tool with tot files, if you are asking if there are pre rooted flashable tot files via flash tool then as far as I know their aren't any
Just in case you didn't notice I update my other post

Any kit Kat Rom that's either 4.4 flex/g pro 2 ported, 4.4 stock based as long as it supports your d800, any aosp Rom with the correct baseband as long as it supports your d800

[Q] Secure boot, 4.4.2 & recovery

Hello everybody, i made some search on the forum but i didn't find the answer to my question, so i ask it here.
I'm actually on 4.4.2 stock rom, i'm rooted (it's not a pre-rooted 4.4.2 but i rooted it after with some weirds methods) anyway, i don't have recovery and when i try to access it i get a secure boot error, it's ok because i can boot on the desktop..
I want to know how can i get a 4.4.2 version rooted & with a recovery mode like twrp. Does i need to install a 4.4.2 stock pre-rooted with the recovery mode pre-installed ? If yes, how can i do this ?
I also received an lg update on my phone and at the send of the installations i got this message "Your device seems to be rooted, you can't update it".
Thank your for the help

Once you get the rooted flag while trying a software update the only way to get rid of it is by goofing back yo stock, also now that you have custom recovery if you try to it you will bootloop/soft brick
