LG G2 5.0.2 Won't root. - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all i wanted to upgrade my LG G2 to the 5.1 Lollipop version, but LG PC Suit said an upgrade is not avaliable, any idea why?
Leaving that aside i wanted to root my LG which has 5.0.2 Android version, i used this root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869
but it was unsuccesful, it said that the device is not supported although i rooted it before i upgraded(4.2.2 to 5.0.2). I need the root because i want to change my rom to CM12
Any idea why this is happening? am I using the wrong root?
Thanks for reading, sorry for my bad english not my native language.
EDIT: i have LG G2 D802 model

And i forgot saying that i think lg only released android lollipop 5.0.2 not 5.1 so that's why you cannot update your phone.

LG G2 F320 (Korean model) Update And Root ??

Hi guys
I should be picking my Korean version Lg G2 tomorrow and I need help with a few things.
The first thing is, from what I've been reading this phone now runs the latest version of android (KitKat 4.4) but if it hasn't already been updated when I get the phone, is it easy for me to do as this is a Korean phone and I'm in the UK?
The other thing is, if its on KitKat 4.4 will I still be able to root it?
Thanks guys
I really need help here guys
Ive now got the phone and its already rooted but its on android 4.2.2.
When i go into "about phone" it says:
Android Version 4.2.2
Kernel version 3.4.0
Software version F320K 10i
Will this guide work to update me to 4.4 and root it:

Another problem.....
I tried to do a OTA update but it just said that my firmware was up to date, so i downloaded the lg pc suite (uk version) and its trying to update it to firmware F320L21V.
From what ive been reading its meant to update to F320K20a.
What should i do because i dont think the F320L21V can be rooted?
Yet another update......
I've just checked all the sticker on the box/phone and the stamp and it says that the phone is a F320L (not K), so i think it must have been flashed with the K firmware my the person i bought it off.
But im still stuck because the F320L21V firmware isn't compatible with ioroot
Any ideas guys ?
i also have f320l. u manage to root it?
there seems be a lack of support for this model.
btw does ur phone have FM? mine don't.
just use the iroot.. it should work with f320

Q: How do i find out which exact bootloader version is currently installed?

Hi all,
My "new to me" LG G2 D802 came with stock KitKat 4.4.2. I updated to stock Lollipop 5.0.2 (30b) using the LG PC Tool and rooted the phone by using this method.
According to the OP of this thread i am now running again a KitKat bootloader and a KitKat "download mode" on lollipop.
I would like to experiment with some other kernels and such and have some noob questions here, which i could not answer by searching the forum. Coming from Samsung and Oneplus, the LG world is rather new to me. Please don't treat me too hard
How do i tell which exact bootloader version i am running now?
What do i have to remember when flashing a different kernel (i.e. Dorimax)?
How does the above procedure affect OTA-"updateability"?
Thanks in advance,
Tom
Was this question too noobish? Or does really nobody know? Any hints would be really appreciated!
TIA,
Tom

I don't have experience with that exact model, but tons of general LG experience and I haven't seen one of their phones that couldn't be downgraded. Google: LG Spirit kdz and find a guide with the instructions and files needed.
For now, there is only stock 5.0.1 for LG Spirit. You cannot downgrade to KitKat or jellybean.
But there are some versions of 5.0.1, for example you can downgrade from 5.0.1 v10c to 5.0.1 v10a but I don't see any point in this.
ok ,thanks for replies.

Currently I have android version 4.2.2.
