I've been thinking about rooting my G2 for bluetooth sixaxis support but intend on updating too kitkat when it is released.
I'm aware I would loose my root access but will I be able to update OTA once the update arrives? Or will restoring the phone be required?

As mentioned a zillion times, accepting OTA with root or custom recovery is a one way street to Bricksville

Not really. I'm rooted and have tried to take Sprint's OTA a couple times. It just seems to fail and reboots normally, no changes.

Don't encourage people to do things which are known to cause problems.
I would root and flash a stock based ROM. After kitkat is released someone will make a new ROM from the update.

So after rooting there's no way to go back to entirely stock LG ROM for OTAS in the future?

Restore stock recovery should do it.
Remember kids, back up your EFS. FreeGee can do it, TWRP can as well.

Perhaps not advisable just in case.......however, if you are completely stock including stock recovery but you have rooted you can install an ota successfully. At least it worked for me. I received an ota notice whilst on 10a (and whilst very drunk) and whilst rooted stock and it updated successfully to 10f. Also, my root was still in tact.
I wouldn't advise to try this until it has been clarified by someone of greater knowledge than myself however. At the moment, many are of the opinion that this may brick your device. If I had have been sober, I wouldn't have tried this and it may just be the case that I have been lucky.

Taking the OTA when rooted is fine as long as you have the stock recovery. If you have twrp or cwm then it's bootloop time where you just boot to recovery. If that happens and you have access to adb you can delete the fota and it'll boot normally again.
Ok.
Then,i can root,maintaning stock recovery and i can receive ota without problems or bootloop after update.
You confirm?

I'm not encouraging it. Simply stating the fact that it's not a guaranteed brick if you're just rooted.

You save it in a safe place. If you ever have a corrupted efs partition you can use adb to flash the backup you made.

Hello
I have this phone about 5 months and I am still struggling to find a way to root it . I tried all the apks that I know but still nothing . If you have a suggestion to make or a specific answer please reply
Thnx
So thank you all I rooted my device Using Kingroot (I used the mobile version)
if i helped you hit that thnx button
Don't bother.
I was rooted for a couple hours and had to return to stock. Thats how bad it is.
You cant delete apps, tmobile device diagnostics constantly asks for root permissions to send phone data. No roms, not even a mostly broken rom.
If you really want to root, go into the xda search bar and look up lg leon d/e/f root.
Install Kingroot from Internet, works

In my case, h340ar, the only method working is kingroot v4.6.0 . only that version
if you want to flash a custom recovery
the only way to flash a custom reccovery is to either wait for a system update or to manually update your lg leon variant from 5.0.x to 5.1.x
BUT, why wait when you can upgrade your device yourself?
here's my guide on how to manually upgrade your OS
Hello guys, today i'm here to present you a new tool made by me: a Semi-auto rooter for ZE551ML.
It only roots your device and install magisk, a tool for managing SELinux and root. Root is based on magisk, so if you need to run an app that requires an unrooted device, you Can toggle root access easily and then reenable them.
Xposed tool: You Can find it in downloads section!
It maybe work on that phones that had locked bootloader on LP, i'm not sure, but it's good if you previously have unlocked bootloader before upgrading to MM.
Needs tester for ZE550ML!!
FAQs:
What it does do?
Simply it boots a TWRP and sideload some files, but you need to do few steps before proceeding.
Why need I to do some steps?
Because I cannot do a fully-auto script because recovery is only temporary.
My ZxxyzXY device is supported?
I'll try to support more device as much as I Can do. For now files are only for ZE551ML.
Why I should firstly root my device and then use xposed tool?
Because you need firstly to install Magisk v6 using root tool.

Okay, wait some mins.
Yes, it works on locked bootloader (MM only) but requires a previously unlocked bootloader on LP before upgrading to MM.
No, you can't install xposed for now, i'll create another script for that

For example, i've successfully rooted my phone using this script, perhaps can you make an unroot/uninstall script for that too? just incase i want to revert back to clean stock.
