Hello,
I have just bought the 32Gb d802 version of the LG g2
I have not yet updated to latest OTA release because I want to ask you guys few questions.
I wan to install the camera mod, should I do it now? or should I do it after updating the phone OTA?
Should I install the sound hack now or after the upgrade?
Should I root now or after the OTA upgrade?
I'm a complete novice but have been reading a little bit and understand that rooting for LG g2 is fairly simple?
Thank you all for your help.

You can find detailed answers to all of your questions by searching these forums or even just googling each question. That would probably be much easier and quicker for you then to wait for someone to post answers to all of your questions here. I learned everything about rooting, mods, tweaks, etc. by searching the internet and especially by searching this forum. Just take it one step at a time. If i were you i would start my seraching with your question about OTA updates and rooting.
easiest way..
ota first until your at the latest firmware
to root ..towelroot or ioroot, then install supersu from the playstore for control of root.. then install and run busybox from the play store
for recovery to flash mods, install and run autorec
but never try to ota with these mods installed, there are other ways.. cross that bridge when you come to it

Yes, you can root and No you cannot do any OTA or LG upgrades to it. Because rooting G2 should also be accompanied by installation of custom recovery which doesn't let you do any OTAs or official upgrades.
Hey did anyone find a script to root the LG G2 with the new firmware update to KitKat? I've tried to use the scripts that are out, but none worked and tried to root it before update and still nothing. If you guys have any helpful links please and thank you.

well you should look harder and you can find IOroot25 the only that can't be rooted on kitkat is the d801 t-mo variant which needs to be downgraded to 4.2 to root and install custom kk rom which supports root and custom recovery
I just received LG G2 802, came with 4.4.2 installed. Now I would like to install a custom rom. What are the procedures should I follow? I know there are many threads around but I am getting confused which come first sequentially, i.e. boot loader unlocking, root, custom rom. Can anyone clarify a bit please?

Its pretty easy now.
First root with towel root
Then use autorec to flash recovery
Then you can your ROM
Many thanks

I know towel root is universal and autorec has a Verizon version. If it messed up your phone, I wouldn't repeat the same thing though, that would be insanity :silly:

I am not a smart man... :silly:
I thought I downloaded the wrong autorec since it didnt have vs980 in it but same thing happened. it installed twrp but destroyed my system partition. LUCKLY I did the smarter thing and made a back up. after some fussing with twrp (making a back up and moving my old back up to the right location) I am back up and running!
:victory:
quick edit: ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO BACK UP AND STORE IT ON YOUR PHONE!
how?
towelroot then autorec. then flash rom zip.
Hello guys,
Please excuse my noobish question, but i need to find some good answer.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, model number SM-N9005 with Android version 4.4.2.
The phablet is rooted thanks to Towelroot. And from there i install Titanium Backup and many others intersting stuff that need/or not root.
I enjoyed Xposed and i'm thinking i want to enjoy CyanogenMod also.
Now ... my problems is that i am very confused about what i have to do next.
And after i spent some time to research this, i've come here for some guidance because i fell that i'm running in circle.
My questions are :
Do i have to upgrade to Lollipop first ?
Do i have to unroot from Towelroot and root again with Odin ?
As i saw that steps are as follow:
1. Need root
2. Install TWRP
3. CyanogenMod (as i saw 12 is the last and it's good for my device)
Many thanks !

1. Unique way to update to Lollipop (if you are rooted) is via ODIN. I don't recommend you update anyway. I still with android 4.4.2.
2. No. Only flash the new firmware via ODIN and root it then with ODIN too.
3. I don't recommend you install CyanogenMod if you are noob.
If you do want CyanogenMod, you only need to install TWRP, and then flash latest CM-12.1 nightly build in recovery. You do need to wipe /data first, though which means you will lose your apps and settings.
Always make backups!

So why do you dont recommend to me to upgrade to Lollipop ?
Is Kit Kat better at this time than Lollipop ?
If i will update via ODIN, is there a better way to do that ?
And ... Still have my question about what if i'll unroot (and how can i do that safe) and root it by examples via ODIN and then follow others tutorials with TWRP and CyanogenMod. I'm not confortable via ODIN (but if i find some good, trusted tutorials, i want to try it) because as i told you before i rooted my phablet, the easy way via Towelroot.
2. No. Only flash the new firmware via ODIN and root it then with ODIN too.

So, i don't need to be rooted in order to execute these steps ?
If i'll need to be rooted (as i am right now with Towelroot ), what should i do ?
Thanks for your time !

If you want a CM rom just flash recovery with odin. No need to root. Then backup your phone and flash the CM rom. No need to upgrade to lollipop either.
However if you want a lollipop TW based rom it's better to upgrade to lollipop first. Nevertheless you can still try lollipop TW custom rom without upgrading to lollipop first but some functions may not work well.
If you can root your phone with Towelroot and you don't want to use odin to flash the recovery, you may do so by dd with terminal emulator.

Now it seems that the lack of people concerned about this issue. G2's other models are not updated or do not have this problem?
wouldn't tot to zve, manually updating to zvg/zvh and then rooting again work? If there is no root on zvi and you need it, downgrading to an older version looks to be the only option.

I am also stuck on ZVI and I want to root, flash TWRP, and run custom roms.
I have not seen any guides to do this that don't require root already. Many thanks will be given if you know of a way to downgrade the version on a stock phone. I have fasboot/ADB up and running I can easily flash something just let me know how or what.

to restore back the ZVE version (the last KK version) and OTA to ZVG (LP), then root, at your own risk.
Zvg and zvh root and install twrp with no problems using the lg one click root and autorec apk. If you want to install custom roms, stop at zvh and root. Don't go to zvi.
