Thanks. I was worried cuz they typically say things like "debloated" and not sure if they take away from features that I'd want, ie Wi-Fi calling.
Not if it's Stock.. Stock means just that. Debloated means just that.... They tell you what it will have or not have
so this method makes reverting to 4.2.2 and rooting the old way completely obsolete, correct?
I'm referring to this guide, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2673736
does this method have all the same benefits? loki-fy, etc
thanks in advance, i just got my G2 back from insurance claim and it came with 4.4.2, I'd love to skip that old lengthy guide if possible
XD
I only had my G2 for a week before I traded it in on the Nexus 5 so I wouldn't know what Loki was if it slapped me in the face. All I know is that I had root, twrp, and could flash any ROM I wanted to
I think the easiest way would be to use the LG mobile support tool to flash the latest software onto your phone. Then use towelroot to root and AutoRec to install TWRP. You will lose knock knock, but if you flash Cloudyfa's v1.3 kernel, you will get it back.
Used towelroot and it worked without a hitch. Possibly the easiest way to root the G2. Thanks for posting.
Hi guys, I have a question. I used towelroot to use autohide nav bar to take full advantage of the screen.. If there is an update, is it safe for me to update with just root or what do i have to do to get the update safely . Thanks.

So if I unroot and go back to 4.2.2 can I root with this method? My current root with the 4.2.2 partitions is shaky and I would like to re-root with a more easier/safer(I guess) method..?

Perfect!
This was extremely easy and fast! I have a rooted LG G2 running Mahdi but a friend of mine recently bought a G2. It came installed with 4.4.2 and I thought that I will have to go with the lengthy process of first downgrading to 4.2.2 and then rooting and then TWRP but this made it a process that took only 5 minutes
So these were my steps
1) towelroot
2) Install Supersu apk
3) Installed autorec and let it do it's job. Got working TWRP recovery
4) Then Installed latest recovery from here
My friend is running Cloudy G3 rom now
Thanks !

Towel root currently doesn't support D801 20G firmware. It only works up to D801 20E. There is no root that works currently for d80120g firmware that tmobile released recently.
Root works on D80120G firmware using stump root - brute force attack. See my signature for links. First time booted couple of times. Installed supersu and autorec for twrp recovery. Works great.

so this method of rooting will not keep us from getting future OTAs... correct
but will more than likely loose root... correct, but there are apk's that can prevent it
and that this method may not work on say 4.4.3 or 4.4.4... correct1I appreciate the link. Sorry if I didn't specify, but I'm actually looking for installing the recovery on 4.2.2. I'll most likely just use the above method for 4.4.2, but it's always nice to have a back up plan
If you are already rooted... just use Flashify and use this TWRP img. - LINK
Boot into recovery and then flash the newest TWRP... 2.7.0.0 or 2.7.1.0
I've had issue with 2.7.1.0 save backups correctly, so I stick with 2.7.0.0
You can also use PhilZ CWM Advanced Edition - LINK
EDIT: I posted the link to PhilZ CWM Advanced Edition for the Samsung GS3... Fix and sorry
