Hi ppl,
Just upgraded my G2 to 4.4.2 via LG software.. is there a method to root yet?
Hi mockneygeeza ,
There is a (manual) method to achieve root on 4.4.2, other than downgrading to 4.2.2. Please follow this guide.
ioroot25 says it now works on 4.4.2 devices. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869. Maybe you should give it a try.

No you can not. You have to be stock for KitKat. You need to revert to D80010o then ioroot22 then the "q" update then KitKat.

LG pc suite will install the latest available rom for your device which will be kitkat as soon as it is available for you. If it says that you have the latest installed, then use 'restore upgrade errors option.' After this it will probably bootloop but, perform a factory reset and everything will then be sorted.

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

As far as I'm concerned, there is no root for 4.4.2 yet.
Though you can get back to 4.2.2 and do some magic (Recovery, Root, Flash 4.4.2 as a .Zip, Wipe and keep the Root)
Something like that...

Root for 4.4.2 now exists. New ioroot25 was recently released.

Hi. What is your model? Mine is F320L21i. I am worry if this doesn't support my phone and get loops.
Hey did anyone find a script to root the LG G2 with the new firmware update to KitKat? I've tried to use the scripts that are out, but none worked and tried to root it before update and still nothing. If you guys have any helpful links please and thank you.

well you should look harder and you can find IOroot25 the only that can't be rooted on kitkat is the d801 t-mo variant which needs to be downgraded to 4.2 to root and install custom kk rom which supports root and custom recovery
