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

Hey ive got a rooted d802 running the original rooted 4.2.2 firmware it came with. Right now ive got a notification for a software update about 70mb large. It doesnt specify what the update is. I'm hoping it might be kitkat. My question is can i update my rooted phone without any problems?

No, when rooted never install OTAs as it can lead to incompatibilities that could get you stuck in bootloop etc.
install a custom recovery(i prefer TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469995) then choose a ROM, ensuring that it is D802 compatible (should say in the thread). The ROM will usually be updated to the latest available android version, if you dont want any tweaks go for a pure stock ROM:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521152.
Ensure that when changing android versions that you are backed up (Titanium Backup:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en) and make sure you follow the instructions on the ROM thread accurately.
I have tried exact steps for the reinstalling stock 4.2.2 but it does not work.
Please help i cannot stand the stupid Audio problem for 4.4.2

you must download tot rom file then flash it using flashtool
I'm a complete newb concerning flash/installing software and especially reverting back to 4.2.2.. I have the D802 International version (bought it off Amazon) its the UK edition I believe. I'm trying to find the correct firmware but they are all so cryptic I'm worried I'll download the wrong one ( I have the 32GB version) and brick my phone..
Is there any kind of reliable guide I can use to do this process? Or better yet some kind of automated piece of software?
Or would it be best to just wait for LG to release an update to fix it?
If it wasn't such a big issue ( I use my headphones every day constantly..) I would wait but I don't think I can..
Any information would help.

ioroot is the way to go with any device, and root process doesn't brick device; if pa 4.4.3 is using lg official sources then you would just need to flash and your done
Ioroot25, as mentioned, to root. Use AutoRec to get recovery. Modem is fine since you're already on KitKat by the looks of it.
As far as which panel you have, there's methods to determine floating around, just search.

You can download Lolipop .kdz for your model flash it using flashtool. Otherwise you can use .tot method.

Hi,
I have LG G2 (d800) and I live outside US (Europe). My problem is that I can not update my phone OTA. I would like to do it manually but, I am totally not familiar with flashing, rooting etc. If you can point me to some "materials" how to do it, I would be very thankfull. Currently I have android version 4.2.2.
