I just got a t-mobile g2 that came with 4.4.2 and I'm trying to root it but every time its rebooting to recovery it just flashes the little android for a second and then boots like normal. Can anyone help me out to figure out how to root it?
Bump. Need some help guys as I use my phone as my home internet since nothing is offered where I live not except dial up.

ioroot25 should do it!

Thanks for the reply, I have been trying to root with ioroot the problem is that it doesn't reboot to recovery when it gets to that step. I even Tried the manual method he posted and it only manages to flash the little green android for a second before booting like normal.

currently there is a problem when it gives the adb reboot recovery the d801 doesn't reboot recovery and right now there is not a fix, autoprime knows of the situation
Damn alright thanks, do you know if downgrading it and then rooting would work?

my phone rebooted the other day back into stock 2.3.4 grj22
now im trying to find root access again but i cant.
the phone is unlocked but it will not let me run flash clockwork or even flash super user.....
has this happened to anyone or can anyone tell me how to root it again please
thanks
I believe this happened to me also, had used 1 click root. Didn't do it right the 1st time. Second time it stuck. Long story short, try using the root method you used to to root again. If that doesn't work check out 1 click root, make sure you read up on it. Its pretty much automated , but a user like myself might be dislexic and mess it up . Make any backups nessesary before hand.

Hello i have a huge issue with my g2. I flashed carbon rom for my d800 by mistake and now i can only boot into fastboot mode and download mode. Now i have the stock files to return back of course and i followed the guide perfectly but have issues with the flash tool. For whatever reason, it keeps saying "model is different" whenever i put the files in. Because of this, the files never flash and my phone just sits in download mode. If anyone has any idea how to help me out here, i would definetly appreciate it!
Did you flash the AT&T kernel after you flashed the ROM? I forgot and the same thing happened to me. See if you can get to the factory reset menu. Do the factory reset and it'll take you back to recovery if I remember correctly. That's what I did.

Houston did that on purpose so that the roms could be flashed on all devices. And how do you accidentally flash a rom? There are some pretty deliberate steps required to do that. When you tried to boot into recovery, when the LG logo popped up, did you release and repress the buttons, or did you keep holding them? You have to let go of them and immediately repress them to get to the factory reset screen. Once you're there, you follow the prompts to do a factory reset and it will throw you back into recovery instead of resetting the device.
Also, can you see your device in ADB?

Well because after i flashed carbon rom, i wasn't aware that you had to flash an at&t kernel as well hence my issue. Can't use any adb commands since i am stuck at fastboot. I have tried over and over again and i can't reach recovery nor can i reach the factory reset screen.

I get the no space left on the device when doing it. I am guessing I will need to reset the phone back and reinstall everything.

If anyone is able to figure this out, I am also having the same issue. I already tried the terminal line, but it says there is no space left on disk when it tried to write the script data .
I just fixed my phone this morning from this. I tried to update OTA and it got stuck in a TWRP boot loop.. The only thing that worked was following the Verizon steps to revert to stock with the Sprint files. This is the verizon guide that has the LG Tool link that you will follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960
Download the Sprint files towards the bottom of this post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
The larger files will take a few hours to download, but it will fix your phone!
Best of luck!
I had to flash back to stock also after last night's sprint update. Its a little bit of work but itll save your phone!

I tried to use GooManager to install TWRP, and now every time I try to reboot, the phone gets to the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" page with three lines at the top - they say:
Recovery booting.....
Recovery is not seandroid enforcing
Set Warrant Bit : Recovery
I was on the leaked KitKat firmware. Can I fix this without losing everything? Or should I just restore the 4.4 using ODIN and re-root?

I did this a few days and it worked fine. When I went to do it again earlier it ****ed up and let to that error again.
That's when I restored everything again and asked you for CWM.
Someone on there (third from bottom) mentioned they had the same error.

It seems it does it every now and again for whatever reason, I was lucky my root worked right away but my flashing of 4.4.2 didn't lol -- Reflash 4.4.2 via Odin then re-root. Should be good to go mate
EDIT: Careful if you are restoring anything via CWM, as it has just been done for 4.4.2 there *may* be issues with it that haven't been noticed.

Last thing I can think of, is you may have had the wrong file try This one at the bottom of the page is the link. If you already have this one, then Re-flash Stock to fix yourself, and hold tight on root until it can be figured out 100% for now.

I just want root back so I can install Xposed, Greenify and Titanium Backup to freeze the bloat
Hi,
Yesterday i downloaded SuperSU to my phone, and i delete it (i dont know why ) and after i delete it (from the Settings, not simple Uninstall)
i did Restart to my phone, and i saw that my SuperUser gone, but i still have ROOT access, all of my apps that need Rooted device worked.
After while, i read the discription and i saw that it should be like this, and that SuperSU switch SuperUser, so i downloaded it again.
So lets go to the point:
If i have stock ROM and stock Recovery, i can do Full Unroot from the SuperSU Settings? as i said, all completely stock, only ROOTED device, LG G2 D802.
I can do it without any problems? for sure?
Thank you so much !

I did with the same set-up as you and it worked fine. I lost my root access and tested with skygo which is very particular about not working with root and I could stream again using this.
I have supersSU pro which may make a difference.

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve? I was referring to having a stock rom and recovery installed before rooting the device to perform some tweeks then unrooting it again. The reason that I unrooted again was so that I could use skygo which requires an un-rooted device. I have moved onto the G3 now but, as far as I can remember, the only way to return to a stock recovery is to return your device to completely stock by flashing a kdz. If you tell me exactly what you are trying to achieve I may be able to be of more help.

My phone still says root in download mode and cannot run LG software update. I have stock ROM and recovery. Others say they have the same problem but no replies. Can anyone help?
I'm curious too. What I did was used Super User and did that "Clean Unroot" method and after I pressed it, it cleared and the app was gone. But, I had a back up of my stock before doing this and deleted all other roms and downloaded all my pics and wallpapers to my computer. But I don't know if I'm unrooted. How would I check that? I can still go to the play store and install Superuser, is that normal or shouldn't it not install?
There's another method which involves installing the LG flash tool, and a Stock factory firmware. Should I do that method or am I fine with the Superuser?
