I look through and this procedure can follow if you are still in JB rom. But now, I already on KitKat stock rom 4.4.2. I just need to root it & download the recovery. Is IORoot compatible for 4.4.2 root?

i believe there's still no root or recovery for 4.4.2 KitKat LG rom yet..
u need to go back to 4.2.2 to retain root & recovery when upgrading using the method listed in that thread

OK..In that case will wait for root + recovery when it available. No point downgrade back to 4.2.2 cause KitKat rom now is super smooth and fast.

you can update to 4.4.2 again after you have root and custom recovery
downgrade -> root -> upgrade -> be happy

There is root for stock 4.4.2 but U have to install it from 4.2.2 with that guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680789
For now the downgrade to 4.2.2 is only need for install stock 4.4.2 and root then You will have stock KK rooted
for custom recovery for stock KK we must wait

I tried this yesterday and nearly bricked my phone.I downgraded from 4.4.2 then rooted with ioroot24 then got freegee to install twrp..all was good until i tried to flash the 4.4.2 rom in twrp it keep failing when i came out of twrp and rebooted BAM i was stuck at boot screen and device would do nothing.
After hours and hours of trying all sorts i managed to flash back to 4.4.2 EUR open using the offline fix and messing with everything to get the device recognised in the flashtool.. even had the back off and disconnected battery maybe that did it but this only worked after attempting it 20 or so times the planets must have been aligned or something as nothing worked until then..Phew...SO be super careful is what i am trying to say.

I don't say "be super careful" I'll say if U dont feel good with that staff, READ carefully everything!
everybody got own story, is normal, and my story is short I think, but I'm few years in the "bussines"
After I buyed my G2 had stock 4.2 and I've put KK CM on it, after stock KK shows, I've downgrade to stock 4.2, rooted and installed twrp with no problem, then puting via twrp stock KK and root and thats it
the only problem I was have is with downgrade to 4.2 stock via offline method but that was my antivisrus blocked LG update tool (but I've managet it) and then rest was easy
In every GUIDE or threat You can post Your problem and people helps You, I know that by myself. but 95% problems is because peoples makes mistakes becouse of don't carefuly READ guids or help posts in threat, they only read last one post... and I know that with my experience

"downgrade" doesnt mean you need to stay in 4.2.2, it means u flash 4.2.2 first to get root and recovery, then u can flash 4.4.2 and remain root and recovery, so end up you are using 4.4.2 and have both root and recovery

That what I was talking about about readings post...
Mate You wrote exactly the same thing that I wroted two post above....

Unfortunately the second part of Your post is not true... For now You will dont have recovery on 4.4.2, only root but not recovery, the recovery from 4.2 will be deleted
plus one more thing that root for 4.4.2 not remain but You must flash it too, after flash stock KK... I've puted link to GUIDE two post above too, but like I said, peoples don't reads carefuly guids and posts...

Follow instructions carefully and u will done it, many people include me are using 4.4.2 with root and recovery.
If u dont want to downgrade to 4.2.2, u dont get root and recovery, if u want root and recovery, downgrade

Show me where is recovery for stock KK? we talking here about stock KK, from stock JB, read the posts man, read the first page, is only 2 pages thread...
that Guy wants recovery for stock KK not for custom rom, recovery for custom KK roms is an old story
show me recovery for stock KK and I will apologize, for now U must read posts carefuly

Flash the latest 4.4.2 stock rom with Odin for the latest bootloader.
1. Flash a custom recovery with Odin
2. Flash the latest superSU.zip in recovery (or wipe and flash the rom if you allready have a backup of your apps)
3. Backup your users apps and data with Helium or Titanium Backup
4. Wipe and install the rom and enjoy.
This process wil trip KNOX warranty void.

Stock Rom or custom?

Reboot.
Start xposed app once.
Reboot in recovery.
Flashed framework.
Wipe (just in case).
Reboot. Done.
As I know on stock it won't work for now. Just deodexed roms are supported.

You just asked a similar question a few posts up. The answer is the same. You need a deodexed rom. A stock rom is odexed.

Download the Deodexed Stock version for N910F...either BOD2 or POF2...
Both will work...
Don't forget to Flashing the appropriate Bootloader & Modem via Odin...(like for POF2 use POF2 BL modem.. For BOD2 use BOD2 BL as well modem )
Download Bootloader & Modem For SM-N910F
It's all Stock just changed to Deodexed ...

did you check whether its properly Rooted using SU or Root checker?
Also not all Kitkat compatible Xposed modules are working with Lollipop (esp in Touchwiz)
And what recovery have you installed to flash ROM?

i checked it with root checker app get it through play store... it shows my device is rooted but still i am not able to install omega rom. i rood my mobile with ( CF-Auto-Root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900) with odin BASEBAND N900DDUEBOB1. & STILL IT SHOWS STOCK RECOVERY MODE.

You need to flash recovery separately.
If you read instructions in CF Auto Root, they'd have mentioned as Outcomes as (Root + Stock Recovery)
Flash TWRP or Philz after that

Your baseband is OC3 so you have OC3 modem. What is your bootloader?
If you bootloader is newer than MDB or MDL you can not install the custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. You are limited to Safestrap or Flashfire for flashing the custom rom.

You have a locked bootloader so you option to install the custom rom is limited to using either safestrap or flashfire.
This guide explain how to install custom using safestrap.
This guide explain updating, rooting and using safestrap. It is also useful if you screwed up and bricked your phone while flashing or tweaking.
Flashfire is newer thing and there is no separate guide written for how to use it but you can find the flashfire instructions in the custom rom that is written as flashfire friendly.

My first reference explains all the steps starting from the Kitkat NB1.
Since you'd already have OC3 and rooted you need to follow the step #4 Install your CUSTOM Lollipop ROM . step 4.1 explains how to install safestrap. 4.2 explains how to invoke safestrap and 4.3 explains how to install the custom rom.
I did not see OC3 to NJ4 that you were referring to though.
This thread is for installing S6 port using either safestrap or flashfire. I am just showing you as an example how to install the custom rom.

I recommend you to do all process from NB1 to OC4/OK2 keep root (Avaliable on the INDEX) bcuz I was lazy and used kingroot to root OC4 and when I finally was into safestrap it doesn't flashed any ROM and was just a waste of time.

Proceed at your own risk. I'm not responsible for any damage caused to your device
First we must put all the archives we will need on the SD card (Stock rooted OC4, the Custom ROM we want, OC4 modules, OC4 kernel and all we gonna need)
Make sure to read this complete, understand it and then proceed
1. I used Odin to flash back to NB1 (the rootable one)
2. Rooted with TowelRoot and installed SuperSU and FlashFire directly from PlayStore (worked for me).
3. Opened Flashfire, granted root permissions and did the Muniz_ri Keep Root Method (4.4.x to OK2) but instead of using OK2 replaced all OK2's with OC4 files because I couldn't find the OK2 modules and will be needed to flash custom ROM.
4. At this point we have OC4 rooted so we just install BusyBox (install the 'things'), then install Safestrap and inside the app install the recovery and at last install the NC1 app flasher.
5. We will automatically reboot into Safestrap recovery and there we just have to wipe (all except SD card) then we proceed to install the ROM (if the ROM has aroma installer at the end we don't reboot into system we have to go back to recovery), after modules and at last we flash (install) the Kernel (we re using OC4 base so modules and Kernel must be OC4 too).
6. From here we just have to wait, and the Safestrap robot will appear like 4 times, we just press continue and deodexed custom ROMs will take about 15-20 minutes to do the first boot.
