Root for 4.4.2

So is any of the devs. Working on a root for 4.4.2.
I know you.can do it via 4.2.2 then update buts that's not I want..
I'm Talking about a rooting stock firmware that's been released. .
One people have said you can on certain. Roms. But unlike Samsung Roms where you have a rooting process for any stock I can't seem to find one for LG Rom...
Sorry wrong thread. .please move to Q&A.

You can root the stock KK ROM, but you just can't have a custom recovery. Although the T-Mobile one has a rooted stock KK ROM with custom recovery available if you follow the directions.
Don't know about other variants.

What I did was I KDZ'd back to 4.2.2, then I rooted that and flashed a custom recovery. With that custom recovery I flashed T-Mobile's official 4.4.2 KK ROM and then flashed SuperU to achieve root on that ROM.
So now I'm running the official TMO KK ROM with root. I have no idea if that same process will work with your phone though since it's a D800, mine is D801. But I would assume it's the same process. Get the KDZ image of the D801 4.2.2 ROM, then you root that and flash TWRP recovery. Then you use that to flash the official KK ROM with SuperU.
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
Use Method 2! That's what worked for me and others. Good luck dude.

Downgrade and root, then apply a upgrade zip that doesn't unroot with a custom recovery.

****, Im in the same boat as OP.
Had a rooted Jelly Bean on stock rom. Just rooted to use Adaway and Greenify.
Got the KK OTA today, installed and got ready to root again.
Damn

There is no root for 4.4.2 yet !!!
Only workarounds involving going back to 4.2.2 first.

How would you flash anything other than kdz or tot when you are on 4.4.2 and don't have root or custom recovery in the first place?

Yes, thanks to @autoprime it's finally done. I can confirm it works, did the manual method a few hours ago.

Why you will get the 4.4 KK Stockrom. You can use some of the KK custom Roms like Pardus or AICP Rom

Sorry, i'm kind of new. My phone is rooted, i have checked but i don't have safestrap installed. It is 4.4.2.

Well to flash Rom you have to have safestrap implemented so please install safestrap download the apk and run it except supersu and install boot into safestrap first make a backup of your current Rom check the Verizon note 3 android development thread for available roms download the one you want and boot back into safestrap wipe data factory reset / system and flash to the stock slot ...ooh if you towel rooted your Rom there a fix in the beans nc4 thread with instructions on how to proceed with that good luck !!

I've decided to unroot, do i have to do that fix before i install a recovery (Cwm or Twrp)?

From my understanding you have to be rooted to place a recovery on your device (Cwm or Twrp)...

you unroot by flashing the stock Odin file, or using your root method to unroot.
there is no recovery available. safestrap is our wonderfully built recovery alternative due to a locked bootloader on the 900v. do not try and flash cwm or twrp.

[Q] i cant flash any roms. help!

ive had the AT&T d800 for a year and a half now. i used ioroot to root the phone, and autorec to have a custom recovery. whenever i try to flash a rom, it always fails without doing anything. i dont want to go through the trouble to revert the phone back to stock jelly bean just so i can flash roms again. how can i flash roms without fully restoring my phone back to jelly bean?
Current Version
Android: 4.4.2 Kitkat
ROM version: Stock D80020k
TWRP: 2.7.0.0
tired of stock always being buggy...

Did you heard of autorec? It restores jellybean bootloader which allows you to flash roms which still uses the old loki method without the need to restore back to antthing else. Btw I also suggest to update recovery. If you do autorec, choose the right version for your model.

Yes just flashed the bumped recovery. If you would ever upgrade to the kk bootloader for some reason like custom lp stock roms then you have to have an bumped recovery else you will get an lg security error
