Hello all. Before this kitkat update I had my LG G2 rooted but right after I installed this new android update I lost the root. I wonder if I can get it back or just try to instal same root again? ( I tried root checker and it said my phone wasn't rooted. While I was updating my device I saw a message in the bottom saying device is rooted )
Also another question, will rooting avoid the G2 warranty?
Anyone?
If you updated with ota Root is not guaranteed to always survive, just use ioroot to root your device on kk and yes rooting your device voids warranty

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.
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.

Hello,
I have an LG G2 802 international with kitkat 4.4.2
I,ve rooted it two weeks ago using ioroot.
Then i thougt about unrooting so it want cause me problems when installing the new lollipop update theough OTA.
I have two questions:
1- is unrooting through supsersu enough?.
2- the update is still not showing up in system updates, I'm in saudi arabia, will it still showup or is it because i was rooted?
Thanks in advance.
You might have better luck if you posted in the regular G2 forum - this one is specific for the Verizon variant VS980.
As a general guideline, taking an OTA while rooted is a setup for a headache, to many things can go wrong and mess up the update, leaving you with a brick.

Oh, I'm sorry, I was following another post, then went to the forum without realizing it's for the Verizon version.
Thanks for you advice.

I was Rooted, xposed, apps frozen and so on. Rooted with IO ROOT also.
Before OTA, i factory reset, didnt unroot (it showed rooted while updating), updated to lollipop with no problems, but root is gone

Thanks vklexer, I did run the full unroot option in SuperSu, now when I put the device in download Mode, it tell me I'm unrooted
But Lollipop didn't show up yet, that's why I had doubts.
I guess I'll have to wait a couple of days before the update shows up.

I have root and i flashed kdz v30a wik flashtool2014 and everything is ok.
Remember to make an hard reset after the flash so backup everything before
Hey guys. Have a new G2 on the way. I had one a few months ago and used Stump Root to get it rooted. I never flashed any ROMs or even a custom recovery. Just rooted so I could use Xposed.
When the new one arrives do I need to root before taking the Lollipop update? Will it keep root? Or should I root after Lollipop, if Lollipop has even been rooted.
Thanks for the help!

i just tried to take the OTA thursday night and it put my g2 into boot loop. i had to go into recovery and restore previous backup.
i think your gonna need to take the update then root, i'm trying to figure out how to unroot so i can then take to OTA then root again. i want to try the Xenon HD rom afterwards
you might get lucky and it come with the update already if you just ordered it
