I recently accepted the D80120G OTA form T Mobile while rooted on stock recovery and naturally root broke. I couldn't reroot with stump root because the root script was still on the phone. Stump root said device was already rooted. I tried to install KDZ file to "unroot", but could not get phone to boot into download mode.
The following is a fix for rerooting your phone with stump root if it says your device is already rooted even though your root is broken.
1) Launch LG Mobile support tool
2) With phone on, plug in USB
3) Select PC Software from phone USB settings
4) Wait for LG support tool to recognize phone
5) Select "Upgrade Recovery" from options in LG support tool
6) Wait for LG Support tool to complete recovery
You shouldn't need to back up anything as it will not wipe your phone. However, better safe than sorry.
Now stump root should work with brute force method!
This worked for me! Thanks so much for the post!

Will test it but just tell me this bro
I wish and pray this helps me too.. I have the same issue... Trying to test it but battery too low.. Now charging and would let u know with thanks for sure..
Btw my phone was rooted before 20g and just wanted to ask if i dont wanna factory reset my phone b4 this method..
This method did not reset my phone. However; backing up is still good practice before doing anything. Best of luck to you.

Hey. I really love you for this. It worked like a charm. How you figured it out bro? The process of recovery upgrade seems to manipulate system files which enabled the rooting process to succeed.
Anyways thanks again.

Brilliant!
Many thanks for posting this...worked perfectly!
FWIW, my phone was NOT recognized after installing the G2 drivers from the LG download page. I had to install the entire LG PC Suite. No idea why this worked out over against simply installing the drivers, but I thought I'd add the tidbit here in case anyone else has the same issue.
Thanks again!

I faced this issue some time ago but my phone wasn't rooted. I did a CSE flash to JB and took OTA until my phone was up-to-date and when i reached the last update I couldn't boot into download mode.

Worked like charm for my T-mo G2 D801 20G with lost root access after taking OTA (4.4.2.) Had to do it twice (crashed during install at 80%) and it does involve the 1.6GB download of the firmware (for those who are wandering)... Thanks for this.

Without experiencing this issue myself, I would suggest checking each step for completion. Aside from that I cant offer any alternative fixes. Hopefuly someone else on this board can discover a work around from their experience.

I use Xposed framework, I don't see that being the issue and how it could cause a hardware failure. I have heard this issue before when tons of people had their S3 died suddenly, there is a big thread of it in its forum.
You'll probably want to wait for the Nexus 5.

Well it would be better if you have a backup phone. It will be based on the LG G2 and gsmarena.com even post is specs, but until it's officially announced by Google it's all speculation.
You could use get the G2, but since it's not the nexus you won't get the same software experience and developer support, price is a big deal as well. Also rumor is the Nexus 5 will support all LTE bands, but that's to be seen.

So this happened to my phone. Brought it to a repair shop and said the EMMC was dead.
Long story short, credit card company refunded the purchase price, I bought a Nexus 5, but I still kept the dead Nexus 4.
Is it possible to buy a replacement part/motherboard to replace this, or is it completely shot (fine with that)?
If it is dead, I was going to recycle it or offer it up for parts. With an EMMC brick, is there anyway to recover any of my personal information that was on the phone?
Thanks!
You'd have to get a new motherboard. Check eBay. No way to get your info off out that I know.
Out of curiosity, what were your symptoms of the phone?. Did you ever try to lock the bootloader and it wouldn't lock?

Motherboard ~$100. Might give it try. The teardown instructions dont' seem too daunting. Do I have to worry about this IMEI stuff?
As for symptoms. I was completely stock, and locked bootloader. I was doing something and then it froze on me.
Went to reboot, and it was stuck on the boot animation (merging dots).
Ended up trying a tool kit to flash the phone. It worked, got back into the system and as it was downloading apps, it froze again.
This time, when I went to reflash, it would error would error with a "failure to write to flash".

it's because of the camera mod, it install a couple of file that are not part of the stock rom and modifies a couple of the stock files, you would need to revert to stock d80020c and then ota to 20k/20u

this guide is basically to return phone like it was brand new just opened from box, it is also used for warranty purposes like you rooted then for example screen broke you return to stock unrooted and claim warranty, and it won't mess up the device because both the dll and tot file have file checks to make sure that you are using correct files for your device so there is nothing to worry about just make sure your pc doesn't shutdown on you during the process because that can be bad
I successfully rooted my shield without unlocking bootloader using towelroot. When you install the apk and run it it says it will reboot in 15 seconds, but it will take a little longer than that for some reason so just let it sit for a while. After it reboot I had the SuperSU from chainfire's website downloaded. Use root explorer to open the zip. Go to common folder and install the apk. Worked for me.towelroot.com. download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip.

Me too. But it is very easy to unroot through the SuperSU app. I would just make sure you undo anything you change system wise before unrooting like uninstalling busybox.

I believe Geohot said it should work on any phone with a kernel date before June 3. Shouldn't hurt to give it a try. It will either root or it won't. I think the Motorola community has been able to unlock some bootloaders after using this root method. Check the forums for you particular device.

Hey having a bit of problems hoping someone can help? Like a previous user mentioned Towelroot hangs after clicking 'make it rain'. A few minutes go by and I get a 'not responding' prompt. If I click 'wait', a few Kore minutes go by then same thing again. If I click 'close' the device reboots without root.
I'm at a loss for what to do next.. Is it recommended doing this in safe mode? 4.4.2.
Cheers

I apologize if this has been covered, but i cannot find another situation like mine.
I have the verizon variant of the Galaxy s5
Currently on version 4.4.2
I rooted using towelroot on 4.4.2 i believe.
The verizon update came through and i completely forgot about root.
I tried to install, and it failed, then i lost root access.
Currently sitting here without root access, running towel root v3 won't work nor will changing the modstrings.
Root checker says no root,
But verizon OTA update won't work either. Get the error at the android open belly screen.
I need some help, i used to be awesome working with motorola phones, and root/unroot/restore/custom roms.
Samsung is a different story.
I need to get on the android 4.4.4 update (without tripping knox) because my bluetooth connectivity is dog ****.
Thanks for the help.

Solution,
Plug the phone into a windows laptop (may work on mac too) update the drivers. Auto play should pop up and VZW upgrade assistant will be an option. Click on this, it's pretty much automated from this point. You will not be rooted, even though a part of my problem was i wasn't rooted, but the update was failing. So thanks to HGFireHazard. He's the man.
If you have any questions i will try to answer them.

Having the same issue here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did a factory reset and that didn't solve the issue.
I was able to get updated to NI2. If you plug in the phone to a computer (Windows in my case), you can run the VZW Updater that Windows asks if you want to run when you first plug in the phone. From there it pretty much takes care of everything. Although obviously I'm now unrooted and will have to find a way to get that back.
Ni2? What is that.

Those are just the last 3 digits of it. That's basically how those on the forum have been distinguishing between updates is by the last 3. Yup it did everything. Once I installed the app and told it to update it did everything start to finish without any additional input from me.

Are you on Windows 8 or 8.1 by chance? If so, when you plug it in you should get a pop up in the upper right hand corner that will allow you to run it.

There should be a popup that comes up when you first plug in the device. If there isn't, that's a setting you must have changed in Windows that you will have to modify. I originally tried to find an executable to run myself as it took me a minute to find the location to run it on Windows 8.1 but I wasn't able to locate. Unless someone else can chime in you'll have to get that popup to show.
Just flipped over to my girlfriends windows 8.1 laptop. seems to be installing just fine.
Thanks for all of the help i will report back if this works.

I accidentally messed around with my build.prop and mistyped something causing my phone to brick. So the problem atm is I can't even use my phone with messages popping up such as "Unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped working" and "Unfortunately the process Home has stopped working." I tried to factory resetting which didn't work at all. Right now I am trying to fix it through flash but I can't since when I plug my USB into my computer, I can't changed my USB settings to MTP and since the messages shown above keeps popping up preventing me from clicking anything on my screen. Any help would be appreciated!

It is a modernised recovery menu,with easier,touch controls.
Basically a MUST when flashing roms.
I guess you dont have that...
Now the only thing you can do is flash the stock rom again with the kdz or tot method.
DO NOT TRY RESTORING IT WITH LG PC SUITE!
It will brick your device,because it had been rooted(LG made that on purpose-"kill dem rooted phones")

This is the guide for both KDZ and TOT methods.
I also had a simmilar issue,but my flashes with KDZ would always stop at 2%.
So I went with the TOT method and it worked.

The box your phone came in has the model number(if you cant recognise the model number,take pictures of all sides of the box,and I will tell you(do hide/cover the IMEI number))

I currently don't have a device for taking a photo but I found the box and I believe this is the model #: LGLS980WTK
But comparing it to the 4 downloads, I can't seem to find it... any help?
The 4 Downloads are: LS980ZV8_13.zip, LS980ZVA_01.zip, LS980ZVC_12.zip, LS980ZVE_03.zip

Ok I have a problem atm of getting an error when flashing:
Error:CrossDL [SM-G920F] to [LS980]
That was the model I was trying to change to during build.prop, and I'm assuming the flash is assuming my model is the samsung one.
Do you have teamveiwer I might be able to help you out. Otherwise you can get your phone fixed on eBay like I did when I super bricked my phone.

I suggest you ask in that thread.
I probably could help you if you had an international d802 variant.
Other variants(especially operator-modified ones) are not familiar to me.
