Anyway to remove 'ROOTED' in download mode?

I have a TMobile D801 and I performed a full factory restore of the factory kdz file, then performed a factory reset, but when in download mode it still says its rooted. Any way to remove this?
Thanks.

Way off, he has restored the phone to factory by re imaging it, which overwrites /system where the root binaries are installed to. Yet it still shows rooted as does mine. Rootkeeper will in no way help this, this is a software fuse issue.

If you had read the cmd screen when rooting you would have know that rooting trips rootchecker (unique to lg devices), this is an IRREVERSIBLE action.

If you want a new phone break the digitizers so the screen won't show or modify aboot these are as irreversable more or less but a carrier can't fight if a carrier cannot see. - Karate kid adaptation.

unrooted
Im not sure how i just got my phone to read unrooted. I factory restored my phone and when i tried to reroot it with ioroot, I messed it up by not having usb connected. On ioroot, the daemon started but froze. I went to restore it in download mode, and it said unrooted. Not sure exactly how I did it.

I used kingoapp to root my phone, one click rooting took about a minute to do, so I didnt read anything about it. Its no big deal though, thanks for everyone replying.

red rooted still showing
hy, i have the intl. version of the g2 and rooted the phone on the 4.2.2
after 1 day i have reverted to stock, following the thread on xda - there are more others on web, but have the same structure/basics
problem is that in download mode it shows ROOTED in red, although i have reverted to stock 4-5 times and with different stock roms (eur/asian/etc) but nothing new - the red rooted is still there in download mode - the phone is not rooted anymore
i have tried to hard reset but no change!
if any had this issue and resolved in some way - please respond
btw - i have updated to kitkat in march - the red rooted is still there
i have reverted the kitkat to stock 4.2.2 but no success - red rooted still present
i'm worried if my phone needs to be sent to warranty - it will be rejected and then i will brick my brain

On Sprint G2 (LS980) as soon as you flash a .tot root label dissapears so there must be a way on international version as well.
Ive flashed .tot files 3 times so far and root warning went away each time.

if you are on 4.4.2 d802
just flash this file from recovery

no recovery

after i flash 4.2.2 stock rom it shows unrooted, but when i upgrade to kitkat it shows rooted
only in kitkat shows red rooted!
i think the 2 files for persist folder are deleted in the upgrade process, i dont know, this issue become annoying and brick's my brain
i dont know what to do.....
if you are on kitkat with stock rom - check again in download mode - maby it shows rooted as my does - checking the second time it shows rooted on my phone
i think i need some software to erase the system partition, where the os is installing, i think there are some files - junk files remained from rooting
this is just my oppinion....
excuse my english!

[Q] Updating Rooted Stock ROM

Hi! I haven't seen any posts about this, and couldn't find any posts either by searching, so I'll ask
I've got an F320S which is rooted. I tried to install a 20MB update, but got "blocked" because of root. I installed custom-recovery in order to try to installing it from there, but with no luck. That resulted in a bootloop. So my question is: How can I update my phone?
Is it also possible to update it to KitKat (if there are any KitKat update for F320S. I've seen it on the internet, so it is available?)
Thanks!

you have a custom recovery installed on your phone, this is why the update fails. the custom recovery is not the same as the stock recovery so the script the update uses to execute the update doesnt work for custom recoveries. you'd have to reinstall the stock recovery to get the update to work. i dont know where you'd get that for the f320s. maybe if there is a guide to go back to complete stock for the f320s then that will also give you back stock recovery. then you can make a copy of the stock recovery image for yourself. also if you have root you can install supersu then go into supersu settings and scroll all the way to the bottom and unroot your device.

I made a backup of the stock recovery before flashing CWM. Wouldn't it be possible to just restore it? I flashed and made a backup with flashify!

[Q] Recovery boot error

I used FreeGee to try to install a custom recovery after root. First TWRP, stuck at performing action. Then CWM. Then the older CWM. Always stuck at performing action. The old CWM worked. Reboot to recovery and get security boot error. Looked around on forums and found a CWM batch install that everyone says works for them. Still recovery boot error. Anyone know what's up? I'm on AT&T D800. Rooted by ioroot25
Also RomManager says I have both recoveries installed. Thinking this might be the issue. How do I delete one or both and get on the right track?

I think I have the same problem. Could u solve the problem?

no you can't get recovery on kk because they patched our recovery/loki exploit on kk bootloader

Safest way is to go back to stock 4.2.2 first, then root with IOroot then install recovery.lok

No, no easy one, and some might even say none at all, but you can read the rooting thread where they discuss recovery as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887

Seems you haven't installed a custom recovery yet buddy, if you tried, you've failed.
First root your phone, then install a custom recovery, then try again booting into your recovery.
If your already on stock kk, I don't believe you can install a custom recovery yet, only root it. So you would first have to downgrade back to JB.

Well there only 2 options really, I'd say TWRP is more user friendly, so i would recommend that to you, before installing a rom first read the instructions and make sure they haven't first recommend a recovery for that specific rom installation.
Once you have a custom recovery its very simple to switch between them.
Follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469995
It's an old method but is very easy. This will install twrp but an old version.
So before using the method above first download the latest twrp onto your phone, i don't know what version of the g2 you have so if you reply i can try point you to the latest, but if you search for twrp 2.7 for your phone you should find it. You want it in .zip format.
So after saving the file to your phone, go ahead and follow the instructions above, if it says it successful, try booting into recovery again, the same way you managed to format your phone but this time it should boot your recovery, then press install .zip and flash the latest twrp.
Then your ready to go! just follow the instructions for the roms you'd like and flash them.
Best of Luck!

[Q] Stock D802 20h CM12 flash advice

Hello all,
I have a stock 4.4.2 20h d802 that I plan to reinstall with cm12 as soon as m1 is released.
I've read a kazillion threads here and thought I had everything covered but the more I read more variations I can see.
I would prefer a PC free solution.
20h blocks towelroot so I guess I have to use stump root instead.
I have the following plan. Any advice or anything missing in here? I do not want to brick my g2
1) root with stumproot 1.2 apk
2) install autorec apk to automatically downgrade boot loader and install old twrp
3) upgrade twrp to 2.8.3 with zip file from recovery
4) erase cache from recovery
5) flash cm12 from recovery
But now I am reading stuff about baseband flashes and that lollipop needs jellybean stuff. So am I missing something our am I good to go?
When I flash lg official rom I have to choose the specific 32gb version. Will this be okay with generic cm12?
Thanks for any help!
Stefan

Sorry, but what somebody tells you now, might not apply at the m1 time. Or might have better ways. Might be a long wait as well.
Just saying that you will need to ask this again when the M1 comes. Right now you can only ask how to flash it now.

Thanks for the the reply.
I thought m1 is just a few weeks away so figured I'd start with the rest of the process already so that rooting, autorec and twrp are in place.
But for arguments sake, let's say I want to flash the current official d802 nightly. Would these steps suffice? Do I need to worry about Loki.sh a well?

Well to tell you the truth I do not remember how I rooted my device. Was really long ago... and what applies to the 20h.
I know at some point I used autorec.
And now I have the 2831 twrp.
What i can tell you though, that wiping cache won't be enough when flashing cm.
IIRC you have to make a clean install when coming from stock rom. So 4th step has to be about that, not just cache.

Thanks. I will make sure to wipe system as well then.

So autorec will leave me with an old twrp I am reading. I need to update this for cm12 I understand.
What exactly is the difference between Loki twrp 2.8.x and bump 2.8.x? The one I got from the twrp site doesn't have either in the file name. A xda guide said Loki trwp is needed and rootjunky on YouTube said not to use Loki twrp but bump twrp.
Now I am confused
Stefan.
