Can't Root Lg G2 VS980? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently bought a an unlocked variant of the Verizon G2 and I can't seem to root it. I've tried using ioroot and towelroot. Using ioroot I get to a black screen the the device saying no command and on towelroot it just says it isn't compatible. Any help? I'm on 4.4.2

You need to use LG flash tool from 2014 to go back down to Kit Kats then root and then upgrade to lollipop. It also depends on what bootloader you have

[Q] D800 TWRP Flash issue

Okay, so i had a LG G2 Pre-rooted since i bought it and i unrooted it, i updated to kitkat LG UI only to realize that i am more fond of stock KitKat CM11/CarbonROM, so i flashed the d800 ATT LG G2 which(Worked before i updated to kitkat) and now it gives me a binary error while flashing, it simply gives up trying.
Binary issue: 7 [Device must be [d800/gilpa] , your device is [d800].
I'm so confused , is the KitKat Update from LG Screwing things up or?!? How do i fix this?
Thanks, and if this has been posted somewhere else, sorry..
Longstory short: Updated KITKAT OTA, Didn't like it, Downgraded back to JellyBean, Installed TWRP, AOSP don't flash...
EDIT: SOLVED: D800 Flash the updated recovery zip

ok a little more info you say here:

you said you unrooted and update to kitkat so where are you right what version are you on and are you rooted or not and what d800 g2 are you trying to flash also have you tried flashing to stock jb(4.2.2) rooting and installing recovery then trying to install the rom?

SOLVED:
I wasn't informed that i needed to flash the TWRP 2.7.0.0 from the custom recovery installer.
I simply flashed this in the recovery and everything works now.
