How is it possible you have been a member for two years yet you are stupid enough to post that here? Read the damn rules mate this is ridiculous.

Also to answer you question, with the veil of ignorance you seem to live under I doubt there is root on KitKat for you.

Meh, I took my aggravation on my unreliable internet connection out on you. If you are updated to KK already there is no way to root, you need to downgrade via LGFlash and then root before taking the KK OTA to keep root.

Thanks for the link. I will read up on it. That's too bad that we can't install custom recovery yet. I wanted an aosp Rom ?

Would you suggest downgrading? Or would that mess up something? Not recommended?

the way things are right now there may never be a recovery for stock kit kat so if you want aosp then yes I recommend downgrading to 10d here is a link on how(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476)

I myself wanted stock kk with custom recovery so I followed this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2672931 just in case you want kk with root/recovery which is currently the only way
