I flashed custom rom ( slim saber )..after that I went on and installed stock lollipop via lg flash tool.. I also selected CSE install and it booted without problems.. it doesnt say I`m rooted.. previously I also installed kit kat and it said I was rooted eventhough the phone was brand new.

Someone I helped earlier had the same issue. He reverted to stock using kdz method and his phones said rooted. He was still running stock ROM when he decided to use cse flash. After the flash was complete he booted up and to his amazement all of his files were still there and his root. So what I did was installed the tot and DLL file and restored using the tot method and surel after the flash he wasn't rooted and was on complete stock ROM. Try using the tot method and see if that works.

what did you do? im trying to use KIES but i dont have the serial.. can you msg me your serial so i can atleast get KIES to download the software? msg me
Kies won't work if u updated to 4.3. Kies 3 won't work either. If u soft bricked ur phone flash the cf auto root tar. It will fix ur error. We're just stuck with 4.3 for now.

kies wont do anything. After 4.3 update we can not downgrade. My issue is i cant boot into stock 4.3. I can only flash octos or other roms but with phone not working and problems as such.
ok somehow i fixed this. I followed the instructions using twrp recover. Only difference is that after i recovered modem and radio through custom twrp method, i used cf autoroot to get stock recovery back then used the update.zip posted in another forum, to update through sideload and it worked. Back in stock 4.3.

the 4.3 update.zip that got pulled out of someones phone before he fully updated from 4.2.2 to 4.3. You can find the zip file in the General section i think.
I was on stock 4.2.2 got the update and went to 4.3. Then i flashed a 4.3 tw kernel and everything got screwed. After that i went followed the instructions found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47113608#post47113608. First i recovered boot , then system , then modem then radio through twrp using the files found there. After that i booted used the cf auto root to go back to stock recovery. Phone was still doing the boot loop up to this point. Then i figured out that the backup was probably a 4.2.2 backup so i used adb sideload to install update.zip. After that i wipe data/factory reset and it booted just fine. Ok lost everything but phone works now like new.

I assume you didnt used the KDZ file? It doesnt matter if youre rooted or not you can still downgrade from the flash tool.

Root on 4.4.2

Hi everyone.
I have 4.4.2 installed manually and now i want to get back the stock rom 4.2.2 because of a big touchscreen problem.
With flash tool, it always stopps at 15% so i have to flash rom with custom recovery.
The device is now unrooted, so i need a method to root KitKat. I tried already with iroot, vroot, kingo root, super one click root but none of them worked.
I need your help, thanks.

I have a question,
About My phone, Before installing Kitkat:
D802 İnternational (Turkey)
after installed Kitkat, a vodafone amblem started to appear every time the phone i turned the phone.
What does it mean?
Which stock firmware, i have to install?
Thanks
there is a link in the OP of that thread leading to 4.2.2 firmwares. Look it up, there is one for Turkish d802 too http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/Turkey/
Just check whether you have 16GB or 32GB version
Root for 4.4.2 is possible - if you flash the stock ROM as a zip file in custom recovery from 4.2.2 (which will be overwritten after the flash)
then you can directly flash the supersu zip:
1. boot into 4.2.2 custom ROM
2. install 4.4.2 zip and don't reboot
3. install supersu zip - don't reboot
4. wipe data, cache and dalvik-cache - then reboot
For zips you can use the forum-search function
There's also a custom boot-partition which enables to stay on the old custom recovery, but that's only made for B-Devices...

Thank you so much
Finally SOLVED!
After you told that i can not root 4.4.2, i completely focused on flash tool with the help of your link.
Finally after 5 days, using the phone with mouse, now i can use the touchscreen again.
Thank you so much again
Great, glad I could help

[Q] LG G2 D802 Kitkat root problem

Hello,
I have LG G2 D802 brought from UAE. I accidentally upgraded to KitKat 4.2.2 after I brick my phone when trying to install trwp recovery in my 4.2.2 firmware. As I was eager to root it, I saw a method using IOroot25. It went very well and speruser and busybox are installed. But the recovery was horrible as it is not recognising my internal memory at all, when I tried to flash zip files it is not showing in the sd card and no option for back up also. So I tried to use the trwp manger, after that now when I tried to boot into recovery, only error message comes saying that " certificate error", Otherwise the phone is working very well. I tried to unroot using the flash tools, failed, also tried to downgrade firmwae to 4.2.2. using flash tools, failed. No neww rooting method also appering in any of the LG g2 forum. Kindly anybody can help me to solve this problem.
Thanking You

Downgrade worked for me twice. Just after downgrade, you must perform a factory reset.

No unroot will work. Only flash back to stock which was as replied above. Do not use the official lg tool. Use the one in the thread above.
