So, I installed Kingo 1.2.2.1915, installed Samsung drivers, and Kingo would not root the device, it kept saying USB debugging was off, and I verified several times it was on. So I went the Vroot method and it rooted in 3 seconds (seriously). I was surprised it went so fast. I was able to install Safestrap successfully, but after I rebooted (and can see Safestrap recovery on reboot), the phone no longer has root. I tried rooting again using either Kingo or Vroot, now neither app will detect my device. They both behave like USB debugging is off, but it's clearly on. Otherwise, the device works fine. Any thoughts?

Try downloading Chainfires flashable supersu zip from here and install it in safestrap.
Thanks! Worked like a champ!

Hello,
I recently rooted my phone via Kingo root and flashed safestrap. Whenever I did that, the phone wouldn't show up on the PC as a device. Doesn't try to install any drivers, PC doesn't show that the device is even connected. Now I read somewhere, but I can't find it now, that safestrap disables the ability to mount the sd or use MTP. Well, I have uninstalled safestrap via command line, uninstalled the apk, removed root via Kingo. That didn't work. I just now flashed the MF3 stock image via Odin and it still doesn't work.
The computer can see the device in download mode, but not when it's powered on. It does not recognize it in recovery either. I have flashed the stock image twice now. With the bootloader, modem, PDA, and CDC.
I have installed the drivers from samsungs website. Uninstalled and reinstalled. I have used multiple cords. All of which worked before I rooted and flashed safestrap, and work currently on my fiance's S3.
It's not the cord, it's not the drivers. I'm at a loss.
I want to trade this phone for an HTC one but I don't really want to do it if it doesn't function correctly.
Any suggestions?

make sure you don't have an antivirus running, make sure you phone is on debug mode, try a different usb port, set you display timeout to 10 minutes and last but not least select always accept when it prompts you on your phone for access
Try a different USB port or if not a cable. It happened to me too and my computer wouldn't recognized my phone even when I have all the drivers installed. Nothing to worry about.

You sure you reenabled Developer Options and USB debugging? After the update you will need to do that. Also is Kingo recognizing your device is connected?

All is well. Phone was always recognized by the computer. I shut off virus protection and it worked! !
I am rooted again and all is right with the world
Thank you for all the help!

What if it turns out that your anti-virus program is reporting correctly that Kingo is a virus?
I scanned the kingo app, then turned off virus scanner n the installed kingo!

TheCubed LG G2 Root Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2448887
In the CMD I get an error while rooting my LG G2 (AT&T).
~See Attatchment for CMD error screenshot~
Can anyone help me fix/troubleshoot this error?
probably usb debugging needs to be on.
Sent from my g2 using xda app-developers app
Make sure you have USB debugging on.
If it's the VZW variant, when you connect it to the PC, make sure you connect it via Ethernet.
Again for VZW variant, when you plug it in, your computer will prompt you for an action with the phone. I found that connecting with LG's software was the trick in allowing you the computer to communicate with the phone (at least for me).
I think this happened because you ignored/didn't see the step about unplugging the device and plugging it back in when the program tells you to. Just re-do the root and read the steps in the program carefully. You have done everything else correct, De-bugging is on and you have chosen the right connection mode, otherwise the program would not have been able to even start rooting your device, as it wouldn't see it. So it must just be the unplug part you missed, just try again :good:
Will retry and get back to you guys. Thanks for the tips!

After trying a few tries and getting the same results, I've made no progress. Same error each time.
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app
Stupid question but have you checked your root status?
I'm actually getting the same error. Im on T-Mobile variant. I did not unplug the first time so I redid 8more xs following the procedure the right way with no avail. I did a soft reset and a hard reset attempted again and still nothing...it does install superuser though
Exactly! Superuser is installed but i don't have root access.

Does anyone know of any other methods to root the LG G2?
I keep getting the same error as well
It would install superuser but would not root the phone
I uninstalled superuser and redid the process multiple times, but getting the same thing
I finally downloaded vroot and used that to root my G2
it worked like a charm. the program does everything for you. just plug the phone and run vroot
first post so I can't post links haha
Vroot worked flawlessly despite being in chinese. i had no trouble getting it to work. I was rooted in less than 3 minutes

So, since the new root method is out, and motopocalypse works again, I thought it'd be good to unlock it while possible. So I got the drivers reinstalled, rooted, installed supersu, checked for root (verified), turned on USB debugging, and started the program. I hit enter and it says
*waiting for device
*starting daemon on port 5***
*daemon started successfully
It says nothing after that. Even after minutes. The driver are installed correctly, root works fine, I have my original cable but I just don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

ADB will send a prompt to your phone, you'll need to except it. Just use the apk instead, it's easier.

Bonehead move I know. Now I need some help to fix. I flashed a stock 5.0 ROM and everything was working fine. Got the 5.0.1 prompt so I flashed a stock recovery (4.4.4 hence my problem). Of course the update wouldn't flash. Now to complicate things all of a sudden my PC won't detect my Nexus 4. It detects my wife's Nexus 4 fine so I'm thinking not a cable or driver problem. Ive tried multiple cables and reinstalled drivers with no luck. So now I need to root and or install custom recovery without a PC. Any ideas?

You're going to need to get your pc to recognize your device. When booted into the bootloader and your device connected to the pc look in device manager. What does it show?

It doesn't show anything. Its as if it isn't connected at all. I've tried from the bootloader and recovery screens and also rebooted both phone and pc. Still shows nothing in device manager. Phone shows charging but no mtp notification or anything that it is connected. As soon as I plug our other nexus 4 in the pc recognizes it immediately.

Is your device still rooted? If so you can flash the stock recovery image file from 5.0 in flashify

I would try deleting your usb drivers on the pc, rebooting and then trying your device again. Flashing the 4.4.4 recovery should not have done anything to mess up your device

OK I will try that again and post results. Another possible problem I noticed is in root explorer I have a directory of emulated/0 I don't remember having before.

To root your device use towelroot from your device. Although I don't know what you're going to do with root. Also, can you get the device detected by your pc when you're booted into recovery or the device?

Towelroot wouldn't work. Says device isn't supported. Maybe it will get updated to work on lollipop. If I could obtain root I can flash custom recovery and start with a fresh install. Just have to find a way to do it with an app
