Click here
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Things you need:
Root
AutoRecovery
CloudyG3 v.3.3
LG G2 (Any Variants)
How To Root Video
Step 1:
    Root your LG G2: TowelRoot (if it won't download & opens a lot of tabs, click on my DropBox link.)
Download via Dropbox

Step 2
    Download your recovery file depending on which carrier G2 you got. 
Note:
Please note that AutoRec – KitKat Recovery Installer downgrades your phone’s KitKat bootloader to the older replaceable bootloader that allows installing a custom recovery. Replacing any of the partition on your LG G2 might prove risky. Install the app at your own risk!

Download:

AutRec app can install TWRP Recovery version 2.7 on the following models of the LG G2:

AT&T LG G2: D800_AutoRec.apk

T-Mobile LG G2: D801_AutoRec.apk

International LG G2: D802_AutoRec.apk

LG G2 D802T: D802T_AutoRec.apk

Sprint LG G2: LS980_AutoRec.apk  (some users reported white lines issue after using AutoRec)

Canadian LG G2: D803_AutoRec.apk

Latin American G2 D805: D805_AutoRec.apk

Verizon LG G2: VS980_AutoRec.apk

Korean Models:

Just grab the appropriate AutoRec – KitKat Recovery Installer and flash the TWRP recovery right now.

Fixing White Line Issue After Flashing TWRP

If you have used AutoRec on your Sprint LG G2 and facing white lines issue or if you have Korean model F320 and have lost Knock On, here’s a solution for you. Download the patched Kernel file for your LG G2 model from here, copy the KK_Kernel_XXX_jdi.zip to your phone and flash the file in TWRP recovery. If you do not know how to flash files in TWRP, follow Steps 4-7 from this guide.

    Hi Kevin,
    I tried towel root and it said "device not compatible". I believe its because of the at&t latest update (d80020y). Could you please help me with rooting. Thanks!

    This worked so well! Thanks for the great videos.

    I was wondering if anyone else was getting the "roaming indicator off" on the lock screen. Data works fine, but in the settings "Mobile data" says "connection not allowed" and the toggle is grey. Anyone with a spring lg g2 have any ideas?

    Thanks for the guide, I was able to install TWRP using AutoRec, the problem is I lost knock on and after trying to install the patch you listed I can't turn my screen on at all! Not even through the power button. Meaning after my screen go off I have to reboot my phone in order to get it back.
    I have the LG G2 D802 version. Would appreciate your help with that.
    Thanks!

    Fix your steps, dude.

    "Step 2:..."

    "...Just grab the appropriate AutoRec – KitKat Recovery Installer and flash the TWRP recovery right now."

    "Step 3

    Download CloudyG3 3.3 via XDA direct download (1.3GB)"

    This is not the way you did it in the video there man. You should always have people download the files BEFORE they start completing the steps. Not everyone has done this before. Not everyone knows what the word flash means... like dude, c'mon. If this is a tutorial why don't I understand what you're doing?

    I'd think I might have brick my LG G2 F320K.

    After recovery mode in TWRP, the phone asked to reboot. After that, the phone was stuck at LG logo. I tried to go into recovery by pressing Power + Down Button. After the LG logo, let go of power + down and press again hold it again. But the phone did not go into recovery, still stuck at LG Logo. I'd noticed that the green LED brink a few times though.

    Any ideas how to unbrick my phone??? Thanks in advance.
