Hi guy's,
I apologize if this has already been asked, i just cannot seem to find the answer by searching.
I was able to root my G2 but when i installed a custom recovery thats when i came into a soft brick(which is now fixed).
I have the Australian D802T model and i would like to know a full proof way of rooting and installing a custom recovery (twrp preferably) please.
Links to the correct info would be great.
i just dont want to stuff it up again.
Thanks

You are lucky..I couldn't even effect a root..could you post a link to how you rooted your 802t..looks like it is counted a different variant than 802 model..

You have to root manually, the automatic root doesn't work with our variant.
@XxZombiePikachu helped me to achieve this in the noob Q&A section he is very helpful!
Here's the method though.
Download ioroot25 ( you'll find a link to it in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705259 )
1)open cmd window inside ioroot25 folder (in an empty space in the folder hold shift and right click mouse)
2)place phone in airplane mode and enable usb debugging then plug into pc
3)type adb devices in cmd to make sure device is visible
4)after you see your device type adb reboot recovery
5)when the phone reboots into stock recovery using volume keys scroll to adb sideload update option and use power button to confirm
6)in cmd window type adb sideload kk_root.zip
7)you should see dat root on phone screen
8)enjoy root
if you follow these steps, you'll have root.

You guys are in LUCK
There is a new form of rooting that is FOOL PROOF
It is an apk you install, hit the button, wait for re-boot and PRESTO you have root.
Best thing of all is that it works on ALL G2 Variants.
So now you can root any G2 on 4.4.2 KitKat very easily. (Which wasn't possible before with ioroot for all variants)
Meaning it'll root any G2 made. Not just the 802.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install TowelRoot from here: http://towelroot.com/
2. Then install AutoRec from here for TWRP recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
(AUTOREC NOT FOR D802T - I WAS TOLD THIS WILL PRICK YOUR DEVICE)
3. Then download and install SuperSU in the Play store (this method does not install SuperUser)
DONE!
Thanks . And of course I'm not responsible if this breaks the device or kills the cat. Use at your own risk

Right. Autorec doesnt work you need to flash a different kdz first. But then you wont have any of these problems.

Autorec will brick phones with d802t roms, even if you install the d802t version of it. Please update your post. As of now the only way to get a recovery is to flash another kdz with the back to stock method and then use autorec.

I can only suggest trying it on windows xp, download everything with your antivirus off, use com41 and someone else mentioned disabling the lge modem from device manager.

You won't have any problems except APN settings and getting 4G to stick. All d802's are the same. But if your dead set on having an Aussie ROM you can find it here

Mate I used this method yesterday and I cannot get it to boot afterwards. What am I doing wrong?Have you actually flashed the open euro into your d802t? U say all 802s are the same. I've lost half my hair over this phone and its because the Australia version is definitely not the same it's very different and I'm almost to the stage where I will sell it and buy an international variant

Pooch, your right about the Aussie version being different. My phone had D802T software but was still a standard d802. Since that's the case, you can flash the jb D80210TA kdz which was your original rom and now you can flash your recovery the old way. I really hope this works for you now, you've been struggling with this for ages.
So, I'm currently running cloudyg2 2.2, and I'm thinking about downgrading back to stock and then taking the OTA to lollipop, but I haven't heard anyone mention if it is possible to retain root through the update process, or to obtain root afterwards. It'd be great if there was a flashable zip, but I don't know if that's possible at the moment.
You can get root again. Its a script in the development forum.
If you do this can you make a twrp backup of the stock lollipop rom and upload it? (since you'll essentially be pure stock anyway).
I'll buy you a beer

No, all on-device roots are patched with Lollipop (unless you have a custom recovery, which is unobtainable on stock lollipop for the d800 as far as I know)
Use the one that requires PC. If you run into issues, pm me or reply to me on this thread.

root is easy, and ill confirm about bump recovery in 30 mins, charging phone for any re flashing required.
recovery is good to go now autorec for specific model at playstore.
Please upload flashable zip of this official AT&T lollipop.
Does anyone know if downgrading back to kitkat is a possibility at this point in time?

I'd assume you could just use a kdz to go back.
So.. no recovery as of yet on official Lollipop am I right?
Keeping that in mind, is it worth the update? Is it smoother/better?
I know this can be asked in any of the other threads, but I'm asking here with respect to its worth when compared to losing Custom Recovery.

Hey guys!
Actually i fixed this issue on the same day i posted this.
the only thing i did was to flash KDZ with the "CSE FLASH" option, not the other one.
but thanks anyway
hello
i unlocked bootloader and rooted my p8lite, twrp is installed. im on 6.0 marshmallow and want to downgrade to 170, when i bought it it was on 171,but i want dual sim. the problem is how to unroot it and install stock recovery,than install b300. i tried already but it said no update.app found. what could be the problem. i had supersu on my homescreen could not delete it after unroot. i searched all xda and google for it but cant figure out what to do next. i realy need this badly to do,because i cant open anything on my phone its like a tablet. if anyone can help me wth steps to try. i will try again to unroot,install stock recovery nad try again to force update b300 "UPDATE.APP".
can i install 170 on b300 or it must go, b300-b190-b170 and than b534 6.0?
pls help and thanks
Make sure the name is "update.app" and not "UPDATE.APP" for me b170 worked just fine after that last night.
Also b300 does not visibly change anything. And install the b170 from the dload by boothing the phone while holding all the three buttons on the right side and release when you see huawei logo.
you need to flash stock recovery. Then flash v052 via fastboot commands. (info and links you can find here on xda). Then you can do upgrade through EMUI updater (by local update files) - info about upgrade to dual sim you can find here, on xda, again). Those are my steps, tried few times. Good luck.
Probably you need unroot the phone.
i fixed it. thanks anyways.

Hey everyone little confused here, im looking to install a kitkat rom on my VS980 , yes yes i know why would i wanna go 2 android versions back? Just my cup of tea i guess. Anyways whenever i try to flash kitkat roms such as CM11,SlimKat,LiquidSmooth, etc it fails to install? Ive used bootloader changer and tried all of the bootloaders to no avail. Im on kitkat bootloader as we speak and i have paranoid android lollipop on it, since thats all i could get to work. If you need more info , i shall provide it.
