What did you use to root the 12B? It just dumps me out of the root.bat

I've always done it manually (on osx), but you can open up the bat file and see what commands it's issuing. It only amounts to pushing ytiruces_1a_vzw to your sdcard, unplugging/disable debugging/re-anable debugging/plug back in, then push su, etc etc...I'd recommend getting the latest SuperSU though. You can find it on xda.

I sent the new aboot.img to thecubed, but if he or djrbliss don't have time, I'll see what I can do eventually.

I have a problem with rooting my D802. I'm getting this:

Code: 
Press any key to continue . . .
Waiting for device...
Now it's time to install su and superuser.

Please note! This will trip LG's rootchecker!

This means your phone will show ROOTED in the settings menu,
and in the LG Download mode.

If you do not want to possibly invalidate your warranty
press CTRL-C to stop this script.
You will have a rooted ADB, but no apps on the phone will be able
to access root functions.

Press any key to continue . . .


Mounting system RW and pushing SU, then remounting system RO again
error: device not found
error: device not found
error: device not found
Installing superuser
error: device not found
- waiting for device -
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Okay, I couldn't get it to work because I was using ioroot10 from the first post. With ioroot12 it worked, but superuser was always granting any app without asking me (option - prompt was checked). I unistalled this ugly superuser and installed SuperSu from chainfire. Now it works!

On the LG Spectrum we used the older aboot.img to get recovery to work. Wonder if it would work here too.

    Howdy everyone!

    Here's another neat root!

    What is this?

    This is a very simply and easy to use root package for the LG G2.
    For now I'm calling it IORoot, despite the fact that it's not really all that deserving of a name.
    ​

    Which phones does this support?

    Currently the following phones are supported by this root package:

    • AT&T G2 (D800) - D80010d
    • Verizon G2 (VS980) - VS98010B (Shipping ROM)
    • Verizon G2 (VS980) - VS98011A (OTA)
    • T-Mobile G2 (Shipping ROM)
    • KT F320k (Shipping ROM)
    • Rogers D803 (Shipping ROM)
    • Bell D803 (Shipping ROM)
    • Telus D803 (Shipping ROM)
    • OPEN D802 (Shipping ROM)

    How do I use this?

    Here's a video!

    Or, in List Form:
    1. Ensure you have the proper USB drivers installed, and your phone is in the proper mode (For Verizon, use Ethernet mode on the PC settings menu)
    2. Enable Developer Mode on your phone and enable USB Debugging
    3. Extract this zip file somewhere on your PC
    4. Run root.bat
    5. The phone will ask you to disconnect USB, disable USB debugging, then re-enable it and plug the phone back in, do so when prompted
    6. You will then be asked if you would like to have a superuser package installed, which you can accept or decline

    Why is it asking if I want to 'trip rootchecker'?

    LG's phones come with some software loaded that detects the presence of root on a phone, and invalidates your warranty.
    Rooting the phone, by nature, voids your warranty. You can put your phone in a special mode where ADB shell has root permissions, however your phone is not technically 'rooted' by app standards.

    You will not be able to use 'root required' apps on your phone if you do not let the root script install Superuser.

    4.4.2 root is here.
    Download HERE

    Changelog:
    v25 - Added root for 4.4.2 devices. Now works on most LG 4.4.2 devices. Exceptions being the TMO D801 G2 and D838 G Pro 2.
    Thanks to @jarari2 for the idea to go through stock recovery.

    Manual method below if you don't wanna use script:
    Code: 
    [SIZE="1"]Download and extract the latest IOroot.zip
Enable USB Debugging. VZW users must also enable ethernet mode. 
Open terminal/command prompt. windows/linux users: cd into /ioroot folder. mac users cd into /ioroot/mac
(windows users can hold shift key, right click in ioroot folder. Select "open command window" option.

copy/paste commands below.. hitting enter/return after each line. [/SIZE]

[B][I]adb devices
adb reboot recovery
[SIZE="2"](when booted in recovery, select: 'apply update from adb' with power button)[/SIZE]
adb sideload kk_root.zip[/I][/B]

reboot when zip finishes flashing. done.


    *ATTENTION*
    Verizon G2 4.4.2 seems to nag about files being modded or a virus being installed... obviously there are more checks in place to detect root. I assume a simple .apk freeze will fix the nag... which apk though.. I do not know. That's for you guys for bother with ;)

    *ATTENTION 2.0*
    Want to install custom recovery? It's under beta testing right now but read this - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51512054&postcount=5003
    no support for D803/VS980 yet until new kernel is built.. everyone else should be good to go. READ READ READ before doing anything.

    *ATTENTION 3.0*
    It seems that the TMO D801 KK update doesn't allow you to use "adb reboot recovery" to drop into stock recovery... so ioroot25 will not work on TMO KK devices UNLESS someone finds another way to adb sideload on stock recovery. Without having the device myself... I cannot test methods to do this... so it's up to you TMO D801 users!

    Howdy everyone!

    Here's another neat root!



    This is confirmed to work for the ATT and Verizon variants, I'll add support for T-Mobile as soon as I get someone in #lg-g2 in Freenode who owns one.

    Simple:
    1. Ensure you have ADB drivers installed and USB Debugging enabled
    2. Extract this .zip file somewhere
    3. Run the root.bat file, and read the instructions

    During the installation, you'll have to disable USB Debugging and re-enable it, then the app will ask you if you care about rootcheckerd (rctd).
    If you don't want your phone to show "rooted" in download mode, or in settings, hit CTRL-C when prompted and you'll just have a root shell through ADB.

    Personally, this is enough for me, but if you want full root, press continue and it'll install superuser and a superuser binary for you.

    PLEASE do not mirror this! It makes my life easy if I can just edit the file on my server if need be instead of contacting all the mirrors.

    Can you explain the difference between root shell (leaving it to say unrooted) and "full" root? Will this affect once we get a way to unlock the bootloader or get a recovery for roms? And is there a way to unroot? Thanks for this!!

    Root shell allows you to have root only through ADB. Apps on the phone will not be able to use the root functions of the device if you don't let my script install superuser.
