Hello Guys. I'm going to buy my LG G2 tomorrow. And Going to Travel the next day.
I really want to Root + Unlock Recovery as soon is get my hands on my new phone. But with so many models, KitKat breaking Root and bootloops, i'm very confused as to what I should do.
Can you guys enlighen me regarding the "state of the art" tools for Unlocking Bootloader and Rooting my G2?
As for May 24th, this thread may help some newbies out there too
1. For root. Find ioroot25.
2. For custom recovery. Find autorec. Its an apk file. Load the file to phone after root and just run it from phone. Itll downgrade you rec to jelly bean and install twrp iirc.

Hello everyone, I am newly suscribed but I have been reading the xda forums since I first had my optimus black. Now I am the proud owner of the LG G2 LS980.
I am currently on Kitkat 4.4.2 ZVD and unlocked and rooted, my question is, how do I install TWRP? I read some formusm but still am not sure how to do it and I am scare to brick my phone. Can anyone help me? I read about autorec but I still worry the phone might brick or something because of downgrading the bootloader.
All I want to do is install TWRP to flash the Split screen mod. I already have the files for the mod.
I attached my software info.
any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hey guys. Just got a G2 and I haven't really messed around with rooting or custom roms in a few years. I was wondering if it's possible to root and load a custom on this phone? I just got one earlier today, it has the latest OTA and it seems like a good phone so far. Is there a definitive guide or thread somewhere? I took a look and I'm not fully understanding all the terminology. Thanks!
Download and install http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906 (Stump Root)
It will root your device with one tap.
After rooting download SuperSU and install
And for recovery download AutoRec http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
Getting my note 3 from o2 UK tomorrow, 1st thing i want to do is root! Is it the same procedure as my s4 or is it completely
different, can lollipop be rooted yet? or do i have to root kitkat 1st? What is the easiest way to root/flash custom recovery?
The only other thing is i dont know what version of the note 3 i am getting yet, upgraded online, i am assuming its the N9000
cheers
So, you have plenty of time till tomorrow to do some Google searching. There are thousands of how to's on the Web.

If your phone comes with an unlocked bootloader then rooting is easy, as easy as S4, and same procedure. For Lollipop, just flash the latest TWRP (2.8.5.0) and flash the latest SuperSU zip from the recovery and you are done. No, there's no need to root KitKat first to be able to root Lollipop.
It is the same process rooting L & KK.:laugh:
Greetings.
I want to root my G2 and I'm looking through applications/scripts for it and I want to ask with what do I root it?
I have SRK and DP tools, they both offer rooting through ADB, DP tools offer unrooting also.
What are other good options?
And one big question, If I unroot, can I update to stock lolipop OTA?
Since I saw a thread that updating a rooted G2 causes a brick.
Hello all!
It's been a while since I've been back, and i've definitely been out of the loop for this phone..
The last thing I did with it was right after I bought it, I unlocked it, rooted it, put TWRP custom recovery on it using the "dirtycow recowvery" patch and method.
Very very long time ago...
I'm still running Nougat 7.0.1 I believe? Basically whatever the phone shipped with.
I have the T-Mobile Variant:
LGH91860fbde7d
My main question is, any phone is unusable for me if I can't get Root, and a custom recovery on it.
What is the latest version/guide on the LG V20 of the latest version of Android that it supports to download and install where I can still Root, and put TWRP on it?
I did search the forum, but there's a lot of guides, and I don't want to "assume" that it's for the latest version of Android (Oreo?) for the V20, so I wanted to make sure
Thanks!!
