Motochopper 1.3 will root you. With that being said, you won't be able to downgrade if your bootloader is locked, even if you are rooted, and you won't be able to run CM unless your bootloader is unlocked. There was a CM10 build that worked with SafeStrap but I don't think it's around anymore.
Good evening everyone,
I recently acquired a Verizon LG G2 as my work phone. I want to root it, but I'm worried that when the kit kat update comes I won't be able to unroot. Also a friend of mine said that the update might actually break the root access. I was reading that Kit kat is unrootable so I would like to root it while I still have the chance, but I need to be able to unroot it because it is my work phone.
What is the best method for rooting the Verizon G2, as well as unrooting. And is there a way for me to keep root access when the kit kat update eventually comes, as well as unroot from kit kat?
On at&t someone made a flashable zip of kit Kat. We just had to flash that and superuser in custom recovery. You lose the custom recovery but have root.

Ok once you root you can take ota as long as a)you don't have custom recovery and b)you have not changed anything on the phone, also in the supersu pro you have the survival mode which is that if you take an ota chances of survival are higher and the unroot option which unroots your phone

Hi,
i've got a new Razr M, which has from factory this version of system:
98.30.1.xt907.verizon.en.us
build: 9.8.1q-94
I think about if it's possible to make towel root on this version of system, unlock bootloader with motocalypse and then flash TWRP and then CyanogenMod 11, last M8 build which is for JB.
Or it is not possible in this version of system and only way it's take OTA and then root, unlock bootloader and then Cyanogen for KK?
Thanks very much for answers.
If you want to unlock your bootloader, you'll need to update to KitKat first. Then you can apply towelroot and Motopocalypse.
Ok, thanks, as i read somewhere, there this towel root is possible on all version of Android before 4.6. But i wasnt sure about unlock bootloader.
Thanks for reply.
Flash the official Kit Kat ROM first, then hit it with Towel Root and finally use Motopocalypse app. After that, the Fastboot utility in the bootloader will indicate Status 3 or if you just boot straight back to the OS, you will be greeted by the teal warning splash screen telling you that you have effectively destroyed the warranty by unlocking the bootloader.

This is so awesome !!!
I have 2 Razr M now unlocked =)
Not the most powerful phone but The best in size and usability =)
KK Update
Has the update been patched or is it still OK to OTA? Still running 4.1.2 (9.8.1Q-78-1)?
The reason I have never heard about any updates is I have had Motorola services disabled!
Kk update can be rooted and unlocked

Yes. Android 4.4 Kit Kat update can be unlocked. I unlocked mine.

Also, it is worth a note, Towel Root WILL work with previous firmware versions, however, Motopocalypse doesn't work on all versions.
This. Kit Kat update is the only version the Motopocalypse works on.

Hey everyone, I have a rooted locked bl JB 4.1.2 build 9.8.1a-78... I'd like to unlock pop and drop it. How do I go about upgrading to KK to towelroot when rooted? And is the exploitable version KK.10? Thanks!

Pouring my first beer!
Can't thank enough for the help, successfully upgraded, rooted, and unlocked. Got hung up on rsd lite, had to edit xml for firmware. Other than that, smooth sailing and the beer at the party is still ice cold.
Cheers!
So I have Razr M and for some reason has been unable to update. I tried the verizon store and the guy working there tried many different things but nothing worked.
So now I am looking root and throw Cyanogen mod 11 on my phone. Only thing is I am still on Android 4.1.2 and System Version 98.15.66.XT907 since I cannot update for whatever reason.
So could anyone please point me to where I can find info on how to root this version?
Thanks for the help.

You could use RSD Lite to flash the official firmware.
Use Towel Root or Motochopper(Jelly Bean Only) to root.
If you want to flash a custom ROM, you'll need to unlock your bootloader. I believe the version you are on (.66) is unlockable, so is the latest version (KitKat). If this is what you want, the information is HERE but beware that unlocking your bootloader will void your warranty.

can you please tell me how to use RSDLite to flash the offical firmware on the phone? Will RSDLite require root?
Thanks.
It does not require root... There are several guides/videos online about how to use rsd just Google it... If you have any issues with the flash let us know...

What is your kernel's build date?
If it's before June 3rd, then it CAN be rooted. If it's after June 3rd, then it CAN NOT be rooted.

If you haven't already, try using the temp_root modstring in Towel Root > https://towelroot.com/modstrings.html
