You are going to have to describe what you have done/ what methods used to try and root. Have you tried this?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869

ioroot is the way to go with any device, and root process doesn't brick device; if pa 4.4.3 is using lg official sources then you would just need to flash and your done
Ioroot25, as mentioned, to root. Use AutoRec to get recovery. Modem is fine since you're already on KitKat by the looks of it.
As far as which panel you have, there's methods to determine floating around, just search.
Hi guys
I should be picking my Korean version Lg G2 tomorrow and I need help with a few things.
The first thing is, from what I've been reading this phone now runs the latest version of android (KitKat 4.4) but if it hasn't already been updated when I get the phone, is it easy for me to do as this is a Korean phone and I'm in the UK?
The other thing is, if its on KitKat 4.4 will I still be able to root it?
Thanks guys
I really need help here guys
Ive now got the phone and its already rooted but its on android 4.2.2.
When i go into "about phone" it says:
Android Version 4.2.2
Kernel version 3.4.0
Software version F320K 10i
Will this guide work to update me to 4.4 and root it:

Another problem.....
I tried to do a OTA update but it just said that my firmware was up to date, so i downloaded the lg pc suite (uk version) and its trying to update it to firmware F320L21V.
From what ive been reading its meant to update to F320K20a.
What should i do because i dont think the F320L21V can be rooted?
Yet another update......
I've just checked all the sticker on the box/phone and the stamp and it says that the phone is a F320L (not K), so i think it must have been flashed with the K firmware my the person i bought it off.
But im still stuck because the F320L21V firmware isn't compatible with ioroot
Any ideas guys ?
i also have f320l. u manage to root it?
there seems be a lack of support for this model.
btw does ur phone have FM? mine don't.
just use the iroot.. it should work with f320
I have read the following root tutorial for F320K.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887
However, I afraid the different version will break my device or malfunction...
ANDROID VERSION:
5.0.1
VERSION NUMBER:
LRX21Y
SOFTWARE VERSION
F320S30E
I just want to root, install TWRP and flash custom ROM and fast charging, nothing more~
Thx a lot!

Is there any means to downgrade from lollipop to stock Kitkat or jellybean?
This is a new phone that i just purchased
Thx a lot

Dude, you have to read some basic things to understand, but to give you a direction:
Here's a generell list of guides and fixes. It has a "root"- and a "recovery"- section. Both are absolutely necessary. Go here first.
Here's a list of custom roms. There are stock-roms, stock-based-roms and completely custom-roms. I prefer stock-based-roms because the devs added some extra features and you have full driver support.
I hope this helps a little bit.

i have read some of there before, but i'm yet to understand it, because my previous phone was nexus 4, installing roms and such was fairly easy, and with this LG G2, there are complicated things even as flashing roms, not all models the same and such, and im afraid to brick my phone because of that, i also have a D801 model - D80110C and i have heared that there are different version of things and such.
anyway, what will be the best way to flash stock lollipop / stock based roms and later flash back to 4.2.2 if something goes wrong? thanks
I just did this, in my experience the best way is
1) updating to stock lollipop
2) rooting via oneclickroot
3) flashing twrp via AutoRec (correct version)
4) flashing twrp 3.x blastagator via old twrp
5) flashing desired rom
There is one caveat though, the root process will install the correct (old) SuperSU that works with AutoRec, but google play may update it beforehand so that AutoRec cannot work. My fix was to install AutoRec before the root and then go into airplane mode and do it all in one go. Also, you should always check if you got the correct carrier version of your software.
Going back to kitkat? This should not be necessary imo, but if you mess something up you can always flash the stock .kdz files (lp or kitkat) via download mode and lg flash tool 2014. This phone is almost unbrickable.
Hope this helps and after years of G2 roms I can finally give something back.

do you have a D801 model? i cannot update to lollipop through normal fota or lg pc suite, it doesnt see anymore updates
i have software version of D80110c, what are the last letters means in it? C/G/ and such,
and also how should i update to stock lollipop rom without bricking my phone? it seems that there is alot of room to ****up. thanks =]
I have d802 and could always update it to LP via LG software update in the phone settings.
10/20/30 is android version, 30 being lollipop. 30a/b/c/d is revision or carrier version I think.
I am not sure about D801, but if I was you, I would try to update to LP via official LG update, otherwise try to root+recovery with your existing kitkat (search the forums) or flash LP kdz from download mode (LG flash tool). Always make sure it works for d801 and your software version.
Then I would install a fast custom rom cause stock LP is rather slow.

i tried to update through lg, but it showed me that i am "UP TO DATE" might be because i bought it from someone who bought it in the US in cincenti bell ( and i dont live in the US, or close to it), the phone have a cincinetti bell rom, so i guess that why i cant update it through the phone like that. and i have a jelly bean 4.2.2 , not even kitkat. it is possible to flash a lollipop kdz just like that even if i have stock never tuched 4.2.2 ? thanks alot
