I used this method to root after the kat and it worked fine. I did remove the root app and installed supersu which installs its own binaries. Worked fine.

try www.kingoapp.com roots everything I have thrown at it
Was wondering if I was maybe having a driver issue ..it took me a few times to get all of the drivers installed. Couple of steps error out with red x instead of the green check mark but I did eventually get it installed..I will try your link. And thanks much for everyone's. Help. Will post back later.

Download the appropriate TWRP recovery for your model, drop it on your phone, and use the app Flashify from the market to install it. Flashes recovery as easy as rooting it.
We're can I grab twrp I didn't see it posted here. Then I will grab the the Other app u mentioned. Thanks

I found a site that says Kingoroot may be malicious and sends out your IMEI, etc. I can't post outside links yet.
Just google kingo root PSA: Kingo Root and Vroot Malicious
you'll find it

They have supposedly addressed these issues and they have a lot of info on their Facebook page, but who knows. They state they no longer pull the IMEI number. I tried them to see if would work, but their program doesn't recognize my G2 for some reason...

If you didn't get first time it's fine to do again or if you had and lost from ota its fine to use ioroot method, ioroot is a pretty safe and quick way, afterward I would uninstall superuser and install supersu imo

Is there still a way to unlock it for custom roms? I've been away from forums for a while and never updated my G2 yet.

afaik, towelroot will not work on OB6/OF1 (5.x.x) stock ROMs. The vuln that it used was patched in those releases.
Correct me if I am wrong please.
