I have rooted my LG G2, but I haven't installed any recovery, I just have xposed and some apps like AdAway and Lucky Patcher installed.
My phone doesn't even seem to let me do the OTA for some reason, thinks I'm on most current software, which is fine, I know I'm not supposed to use that, but the Mobile Support Tool says I can do an ANDROID OS UPGRADE. So I was wondering, can I just update with the mobile support tool (or LG PC Suite) or do I have to unroot first? Also, If I do have to unroot can you link me to an easy and reliable method please, as there are so many and I don't want to use the wrong one (preferably one that won't require a factory reset on my phone(if there are any)).
LP 5.02

Does anyone know if you can use the LG Flash tool to downgrade the stock D80020y software to an earlier version so that you would be able to root and flash a custom recovery menu?
Yes, you can using the LG Flash Tool. However root works fine using the root tools in the G3 forum - although I had to use the brute force option when I used stump root.
Hi, so i got a little problem here.. the thing is i tried to root my lg g2 sprint ( LS980 ) with io root, but than i noticed i canot be rooted because of the android version i have 4.4.2 ( Build KOT48I.LS980ZVE ) so keep searching and found TowelRoot, and when i installed the app it says my device is rooted , but it really isnt... also looking thru the system files i foind a SU file in the Xbin folder... how can i fix this too root the phone ?
can't root lg g2 sprint zve
i am also facing exactly the same problem plz someone help me...
download root checker and double check if you really are not rooted. If not use the lg flash tool and flash a kdz of a firmware version which can be rooted via ioroot for example
Like Krenol said, use root checker to see if you're actually rooted or not, but if you aren't you may also be able to use Stump Root without reverting back to a different firmware. IOroot didn't work for me on the latest firmware when I got my Verizon G2 but stump root worked for me. I can't remember if I had to use the brute force option or not but its worth a shot.
Stump Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
Stump root says is rooted.. but the SU app tells me the opposite, il try the downgrade
so then how can i flash a firmware?
I recently upgraded my Korean LG G2(F320L) to lollipop and rooted it. But when I am trying to install a software update, it shows an error code.
It says that the device is suspected to be rooted and the update isn't available for rooted devices.
Can anyone tell me how to unroot my device??
Thanks
ME also
i also update my F320L but suddenly there was a recent prompt that updates are available for my LG but when i tried to install the updates that i download using OTA i was prompt that rooted device cannot install updates..
Tried to Unroot the device using SuperSU. SuperSU got un-installed and Titanium Backup showed that the device is not rooted anymore.
But when I tried to update the device via OTA, same error message again.
Can't figure out what to do.
So, I have a LG G2 D805 (Latin America Version), I installed the D802 5.0.2 (adapted by a brazilian dev, of course). At first I had root, but I removed it from Supersu cause I wanted use One Click Root Recovery to make root and install TWRP at once. There begins the ****...
One Click Root Recovery and SRK Tool doesn't work... it ever stop on download mode. And it gets worse, because FlashTools don't accepted the flash (it says the device has been disconnected).
So, I dont have root, TWRP or Download Mode. The only solution would be an app like towelroot to make root and after install TWRP with Autorec LP.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Resolved!
I just use FlashTools with device on.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I would simply :
Download Stump Root, run it (the device will reboot twice)
AutoRec it
Install desired recovery
Enjoy
Is it safe to do this security update on my LGMP260 rooted device? Or will I lose my root?
Not safe.
Currently, of you want the latest stock updates while rooted, you'll have to use the unroot/unbrick method with the latest kdz file. I've tried it with flashify/flashfire in the past to no avail. Ota's also don't seem to like custom recoveries on this device. Best of luck.
Alternatively, use a custom rom like incipient and dirty flash when new updates happen.
You can use LG uppercut to restore the stock kdz, which you can get from here:
Make sure it's the MTP region version
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-mp260-firmwares/firmwares/
If you restore the kdz, you lose root & everything. Then the existing root method may not work.
