OK here's the deal, IOroot25 method, rooted flawlessly. Made an attempt to install openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-vs980 via flashify which forced phone into reboot. now stuck in lg boot with secure boot error with a boot certification verify, followed by auto-mount of device showing contents of multiple drivers within the vs980 I can access download mode but not recovery. Unfortunately while in download mode ubuntu 14.04 doesnt recognize device through adb or fastboot. verified both adb and fastboot are operational with my nexus7 device. I also checked android51 rules for allowance of vs980. I have read through xda dev threads for 3 days (night and day) trying to figure this thing out without any luck. I would really like some assistance here you guys.... lol anything would be greatly appreciated at this point.
You might need to get a Windows machine and use the lg flash tool to flash the kdz file.

Wait wait, so where did you end up?
I'm in the same boat. I can use my phone just fine but can't get into recovery. Did you manage to get a custom rom installed?

Back stock rooted 24a. Wonna put that Carbon ROM in but gonna set up emulator for debugging if I can get one to work. Or might wait until someone figures out how to unlock bootloader.

Looks like this guy has some ideas.

I'll let you know if I get twrp installed.
Looks like the Freedom tool is the way to go on 24a. But until bootloader is fully unlocked, we will continue to have stability issues. Every ROM is working off of the Loki patch. Now I'm not nockin loki it's a good work around, but for stability issues I'm gonna stay rooted stock debloated. This G2 xposed module is decent, and fairly stable for good customization http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549923

Just read on Droid-life that the second update for LG G2 for Verizon has been approved. We aren't getting 4.3 just yet, but a few fixes. I was looking forward to fixing camera issues and that annoying jittery touch screen. Either way if you don't want to take a chance of losing root, tethering or/and if you have a custom recovery installed (TWRP and CWM) then you probably want to wait until the update get broken down so we can apply the update without losing ROOT or custom recovery.
I used Titanium Backup to FREEZE

That's always the rule of thumb... ota = the devil. I always wait for rooted ota zips for any device. If you don't and you ota and lose root and your first born everyone will just say "Never ota. Hopefully they find a new exploit"

24A Kitkat is released too. So you'll want to root before updating because kitkat hasn't been rooted yet, on any device.

I'm pretty sure 4.2.2 can be rooted. Its 4.4 that hasn't been rooted yet, on any device. The G2 is one of the lucky few because updates don't kill root.

So being that I have only had the g2 less than a month..and I'm not super familiar with adb, is there a better guide to get root on Verizon?
I have the root on any device, but can't get an adb window to "check devices"
Sent from my VS980 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well you have to make sure the right driver is installed and adb drivers are good. Check USB Debugging. Put USB Connection to ETHERNET, do ADB DEVICES in a command prompt. You should get a popup on the phone asking permission to allow adb.
Pretty easy.

hello fellow G flex Owners (sprint variant LS995). does anyone know on how i can get some sort of wireless infrastructure tethering to work. i have tried multiple apps wifi tethering, barnacle, open garden etc. and i cant get them to work on infrastructure. i have tried different settings and i just cant get them to work. all that i get is ad-hoc which to me is pretty worthless. i know that there is this one method to to enable native tethering on the sprint variant but i am scared that i might get soft bricked or some sort of boot loop and currently at the moment sprint variant does not have a method to unlock boot loader and access to cwm or twrp.
link to sprint native tethering (by justinswidebody)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647656
i am scared to apply this method since justinswidebody states that "this could brick your device" what do you guys think are the odds of this bricking my device???
current status of my phone:
my phone is rooted successfully by ioroot method along with busy-box installed
No easy way yet, I'm waiting too
I used his method without any problems.
As long as the download is fine, your device will be fine

I seem to have gotten over my head here being fairly new to android in general but wanting to try out all the new stuff lol.
Basically, I updated my LG G2 with the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant but after updating proceeded to screw up a few system files in the process. The kicker is I didn't know that installing this update was going to remove my TWRP custom recovery!
So now... It seems I am stuck with a buggy kitkat and cannot reinstall it because
- my custom recovery is gone and it seems that I can't reflash it do to my being on kitkat (24a)
- Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant won't upgrade the phone again because in it's view I have the latest and greatest.
- using factory reset doesn't seem to be fixing the underlying issue of system files being corrupted but simply wipes user data and apps.
What am I to do? Am I doomed to have a buggy phone until CWM or TWRP support LG G2 so I can install a ROM?
Or is there something I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
If you still have root, you can use this, AutoRec - KitKat Recovery Installer
http://forum.xda-developers.com /showthread.php?t=2715496
If you do not have root it would be best to start fresh by following this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45694605
Then use IORoot to root your phone, thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48709232
After rooting use AutoRec-Kit Kat Recovery Installer and you will be good to go.
Hope all this helps.

You need to update your baseband to match the rom version, have you done that?
Hey I am really not too sure if I have done that or not is there any possible way you could maybe tell me how to do that or figure out how to match the baseband choose a version that I am on which would be the 11a

CM11 is KitKat, if you need Jellybean on the phone to work with T-Mobile, there aren't many choices out there, you'd have to look through the older dev threads for 4.2.2 roms...
So in order to get a ROM it'll have to be a jellybean ROM? How would I put a recovery on the phone just through the autorec apk? And if I was to put a 4.2.2 ROM on the phone would it honestly work or bootloop me?

You have the right bootstack (sorry confused that with baseband) for a JB rom. You may want to look at this though..
People running KitKat with T-Mobile. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727307
You'll need to upgrade your bootstack to match the rom version, you can find basebands here in the bottom of the first post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715408

One other thing not mentioned by @bravho or anyone else is there is NO possibility of saving your data when flashing a KDZ as it contains the entire device file system. As in radio, modem, bootloader, etc...
