Hey guys,
I'm having a ***** of a time getting my G2 rooted.
Info:
LG G2 VS980
Android Version: 4.4.2
Software version: VS98026A
I've tried everything under the sun and followed all directions to a "T".
-The main version of ioroot reboots my phone to an android figure with an error sign in his stomach.
-Another version I saw in a forum (ioroot25r1) closes itself as soon as I hit a button to start in command prompt. (This required me installing Android SDK, platform tools, and Google USB drivers, which I did.)
-Towelroot says "This phone isn't currently supported"
-Stumproot says "ERROR: Unsupported device"
Any help would be greatly appreciated! It looks like others have been successful in getting their G2 with this software version rooted, but as I've learned in the past, nothing works for me like it's supposed to.

You can either revert back to 24A one step at a time and use ioroot or stump root should work. You may have to do the brute force method or whatever it is called.

Recently I have decided to root my phone however I am having some trouble. I have tried Odin and MotoChopper for rooting my phone however, none of them work. When I use motochopper the SuperUser app is downloaded onto my device however when I try to open it, I get a pop-up saying "Binary needs to be updated" I click the recovery install button and it says contact the developer for help then it closes out.Another thing I have noticed while rooting with motochooper is it says "Success then rooting phone... this may take a few minutes. Failure. Cleaning up..." If someone could please help me I would really appreciate it! The info on my phone is given below:

Hi Friends,
I am new to this Forum and Android as well. I recently bought unlocked LG G2 32 GB in India. It was:
Model - D802
Android version - 4.4.2
Software version D80220b
As it's wifi reception and network reception was not good, I thought of installing the ROM again. The biggest mistake that I did not install any recovery and didn't even rooted my device. I checked with root checker and it showed that your device is not rooted. Then I follow the method given on below link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I took the firmware file named "India 32GB D80210C_00.kdz" and select type as "3GQCT" and performed the Normal Flash. It went well but after it booted up, my touch screen calibration was totally lost. I connected mouse using USB OTG cable and calibrated the device but it didn't work out. Calibration still seemed gone.
After all try, I couldn't do much and read of TOT method to go back on Jelly Bean. I did that as well using "BIN_LGD802AT-00-V10b-SEA-XX-SEP-04-2013-32G+0.exe" from which I extracted the TOT file and performed the flashing again by coming in "Download mode".
After that my phone is in boot loop and same issue of lost screen calibration. If I try to go into recovery it gives me option only to factory reset the phone which does not help out at all. I guess it's because i didn't root my phone and didn't even installed any recovery.
I know I have done a lot of mess with no knowledge but please help me out as its my new phone and I have hardly used it for 1 month and it's not even under warranty.
Thanks.

There might have been a problem with the firmware that you used and the flash method. Use this to find your firmware and pick cse flash this might solve it.
I searched the firmware in your given link by my IMEI number, but I have a problem. After I click on "Upgrade start" in "Normal web test upgrade", it does not give me country select option. Instead it open LG Mobile support tool which just keeps on showing "Waiting for Connection".
If I click start upgrade without selecting "normal web upgrade test", it gives me country selection window.
What should I do? Can I directly click on "Start upgrade" ?
try this one

Hi,
I'm trying to root my LG G2 D802 unit, but all my efforts failed. I suspect that the rooting procedure, ioroot, fails to identify my smartphone. I came to this conclusion since running ADB DEVICES ends with an empty device list.
I tried to change the usb connection, but looks like this isn't the source of my failure.
How can solve this problem?
I run ADB on a win 7 system.
