I look through and this procedure can follow if you are still in JB rom. But now, I already on KitKat stock rom 4.4.2. I just need to root it & download the recovery. Is IORoot compatible for 4.4.2 root?
i believe there's still no root or recovery for 4.4.2 KitKat LG rom yet..
u need to go back to 4.2.2 to retain root & recovery when upgrading using the method listed in that thread

OK..In that case will wait for root + recovery when it available. No point downgrade back to 4.2.2 cause KitKat rom now is super smooth and fast.
you can update to 4.4.2 again after you have root and custom recovery
downgrade -> root -> upgrade -> be happy
There is root for stock 4.4.2 but U have to install it from 4.2.2 with that guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680789
For now the downgrade to 4.2.2 is only need for install stock 4.4.2 and root then You will have stock KK rooted
for custom recovery for stock KK we must wait

I tried this yesterday and nearly bricked my phone.I downgraded from 4.4.2 then rooted with ioroot24 then got freegee to install twrp..all was good until i tried to flash the 4.4.2 rom in twrp it keep failing when i came out of twrp and rebooted BAM i was stuck at boot screen and device would do nothing.
After hours and hours of trying all sorts i managed to flash back to 4.4.2 EUR open using the offline fix and messing with everything to get the device recognised in the flashtool.. even had the back off and disconnected battery maybe that did it but this only worked after attempting it 20 or so times the planets must have been aligned or something as nothing worked until then..Phew...SO be super careful is what i am trying to say.
I don't say "be super careful" I'll say if U dont feel good with that staff, READ carefully everything!
everybody got own story, is normal, and my story is short I think, but I'm few years in the "bussines"
After I buyed my G2 had stock 4.2 and I've put KK CM on it, after stock KK shows, I've downgrade to stock 4.2, rooted and installed twrp with no problem, then puting via twrp stock KK and root and thats it
the only problem I was have is with downgrade to 4.2 stock via offline method but that was my antivisrus blocked LG update tool (but I've managet it) and then rest was easy
In every GUIDE or threat You can post Your problem and people helps You, I know that by myself. but 95% problems is because peoples makes mistakes becouse of don't carefuly READ guids or help posts in threat, they only read last one post... and I know that with my experience

"downgrade" doesnt mean you need to stay in 4.2.2, it means u flash 4.2.2 first to get root and recovery, then u can flash 4.4.2 and remain root and recovery, so end up you are using 4.4.2 and have both root and recovery
That what I was talking about about readings post...
Mate You wrote exactly the same thing that I wroted two post above....

Unfortunately the second part of Your post is not true... For now You will dont have recovery on 4.4.2, only root but not recovery, the recovery from 4.2 will be deleted
plus one more thing that root for 4.4.2 not remain but You must flash it too, after flash stock KK... I've puted link to GUIDE two post above too, but like I said, peoples don't reads carefuly guids and posts...

Follow instructions carefully and u will done it, many people include me are using 4.4.2 with root and recovery.
If u dont want to downgrade to 4.2.2, u dont get root and recovery, if u want root and recovery, downgrade
Show me where is recovery for stock KK? we talking here about stock KK, from stock JB, read the posts man, read the first page, is only 2 pages thread...
that Guy wants recovery for stock KK not for custom rom, recovery for custom KK roms is an old story
show me recovery for stock KK and I will apologize, for now U must read posts carefuly
Please help! I've went through every single page on the rom thread with no answer. No one responds to my posts either.
I'm running this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/rom-custom-stock-lp-g2-d800-d801-d803-t3025479/page42
I tried to restore my cloudy g2 backup but just get stuck on the LG logo. I've also tried the TOT thing to go back to stock, but it just stays on 0% in download mode when I go to flash it. I don't know what to do.
You flashed the KK bootloader right? Then you must return to JB bootloader to can boot on CloudyG2 or other ROMs.

I didn't flash any bootloader. When I bought the phone it was already on kit kat so I don't know if that makes a difference?

When you rooted your phone and installed TWRP you didn't used Autorec?
What steps you followed to install that ROM?

We think you have to change to JB bootloader in order to make other ROMs to work, like CloudyG2.
But you need to flash the bootloader for your G2 variant, @AbdulrahmanAmir gave you a link for D802 bootloader but if you don't own a D802 then don't use that bootloader, you need one for your g2 variant.
EDIT: I see you have D800, here you can download the JB bootloader for D800 http://blastagator.ddns.net/bootloader.php
I updated my LG G2 D800 AT&T to Stock Lollipop and now I want to go back to Stock Jellybean. When I tried doing so with LG Flash Tools using TOT and DLL it gave me the error "Failed Previous Load()". Please help me. I need help ASAP
Use Autorec and then flash jellybean ROM.

Autorec downgrade your bootloader to jellybean. You can flash jellybean kdz and tot via flashtool.
Hi! Recently i almost lost my phone(hard brick), but i could fix it, now i'm in JellyBean stock, and i want to install Cloudy G2 3.3, which steps do i need to follow?
i know that isn't so easy to pass from JellyBean to Lollipop, neither to a Lollipop custom rom xD can somebody help me?
My Lg's version is D805
Flash stock L Kdz. Root and install TWRP with Autorec from Google Play. Then flash KK bootstack and Cloudy.

I'm using the stock based CleanStock firmware currently. It's a great custom rom but I want to revert back to stock KitKat rom. How can I do so. Can someone tell me the exact procedure? Please help. Thanks!

Sideload the kitkat firmware .
(All things mentioned above you get in kit Kat firmware .)bootloader relock is optional .
Also you can later install the custom recovery .if you need .
What's sideloading? How can I do that?
