Sorry guys but ive been searching already and cannot find anuo to date way yo do this. Towel root doesnt work for an updated VXW LG G2 and niether does stump. Can someone help me out? I really have tried finding this myself but seems like something must have recently changed. Thanks and sorry.
Kdz to 24a will surely work as it is still perfectly rootable.
Stump root using brute force method works on 26A, it is the only working root for 26A, besides KDZing back to 24A, rooting, and updating.
Yep, stump root works with brute force. Takes 5-10 minutes but you'll get there.
Freedom One-Click works as well for installing TWRP. I just did both procedures the other day on a refurb 26A unit I got as a warranty replacement.

I can't help I'm afraid, root hasn't been an issue for me in a very long time, I've been on AOSP ROM since 12B. There are plenty of users who can help here though.

Np thanks. I downloaded latest Stump but wondering how you do the 'brute force' method. Does it auto start a brute force method of sorts?
(that's directed at any one else too)
---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------
I'm an idiot. You just run it and it auto detects that it has to brute force.
Thanks. I'll let it go and see what it does. :good:
Edit2: Worked great.

I wonder if I should wait to ROM, since we'll get Lollipop by end of next year (at least on Verizon it'll take that long).

26A isn't magic, to custom ROMs is just another radio for the most part... There isn't a huge compatibility difference and just about any aftermarket ROM/kernel built for 24A will work on 26A, and vise versa. In any ROM or kernel read the first few posts, they usually give the requirements for them, notice most say "official KitKat baseband" and not a specific version, although a few ROMs do specify a specific version, always read and ask for each specific instance if your not sure.
I can not get anything to root my phone on 26a. Tried stump and towel , now im debating on going back toot 24a but i don't wanna risk losing everything
Dude you're doing something wrong. Stump worked on the 4 G2 Verizon phones I've tried it on. 26A.
Did you enable usb debugging? Turn off app verify, etc. What happens after it reboots twice after brute force?

Hrm, it has to be one of the silly phone settings.
You want: USB Debugging enabled, (next couple ar ein Security settings)Verify Apps disabled, Allow Unknown sources enabled.
Is your phone currently encrypted? Did you enable that feature already? Try removing the lock screen, if you currently have one set.
Uninstall Stumproot. ARE YOU SURE you're on the latest version that can brute force 26A? Enable the above and reinstall. He put out updates once it became available, since people said they were getting "unsupported device" errors.

I honestly don't want to go through the BS of having to do a bunch of stuff to update my VZW Moto X to 4.4.4, and the only thing I want out of the update is the camera, the dialer isn't important to me. So, is there a way to get the camera enhancements listed in the update without taking the full update?
EDIT: forgot to mention I have the Dev Edition, fully unlocked and rooted.
You can try to extract the camera apk and any supporting files... And see if you can install it. If so great, if not.. Nope.
---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------
You would need root I imagine too. For the supporting files to be placed. I'm guessing.

Well extracting the apk is simple enough if you have the 4.4.4 files... But I'm not sure what supporting files might be needed.
I'd definitely do a nandroid backup first.... Cause there's a good chance it could cause issues... And restoring the nandroid would wipe out what you tried.
I read the main camera improvement is due to the 4.4.4 kernel?

Does anyone know how to root running 4.4.2? Only method I can find is to downgrade first to 4.2.2. If that is the only way, can somebody point me the way to a download and instructions to do this for the g flex?

supposedly you cant root with a factory 4.4.2. you have to downgrade first.

It looks like the only way to root D950G running stock 4.4.2 is to downgrade. Does anyone know where instructions are for that?

When stump root said not supported did you select to brute force it? It worked perfectly on my T-Mobile flex so don't see why it won't work for yours.

Yes I brute forced twice. It seems all root methods work on t mobile but not my D950G model or at&t D950. Only way to I to downgrade so far. I have rooted a wack of phones and this is the easiest method ever, no screwing it up.

Well that's strange. Anyways of i get a second I'll make a twrp zip of the kit Kat for your phone. Then you can just flash that and before rebooting flash the latest supersu zip, like what D-Fuse made for T-Mobile.

Thanks but I am on kit Kat, I need to downgrade to jelly bean 4.2.2 to root. No I didn't install super user because it said device not supported
I'm taking about doing this with your stock kit Kat kdz. Then follow those instructions so after flashing the zip you'd flash the supersu zip. That would leave you on stock rooted kit Kat

Do you think I could use the first option? I see sprint, at&t, and t mobile. I use rogers, model almost at&t D950G compared to at&t's D950.
For the second option, is it ok to use for my flex if I get kdz/tot for this phone? Just wondering because it only says G2. Thanks
That's how i made the Sprint downgrade zip and D-FUSE made all his zips. Just download the latest kit Kat kdz for your phone and follow the instructions i linked. It's very easy, should only take an hour or so depending on your computer
Cool have everything downloaded will give a shot later. There's an app call lg phone from, it tells everything about phone and even gives link to your kdz

Your signature says you are 'rooted' already, but maybe 'unlocked' is the better term? Since your phone appears to be unlocked and s-off, you are all set to use custom 'rooted' ROMs. There are several rooted Lollipop ROMs to choose from in the development section.

Are you saying that you're rooted and that you simply have the ability to update but haven't taken the OTA? Or you've verified that your phone is rooted, taken this OTA and your phone is working fine? I didn't think you could take the OTA rooted.

It appears so. When I attempt to run the exploit, I'm notified that my device isn't supported yet. I'm not too worried as the team seems to be chewing through devices and updates at a cyclic rate.
So... most important thing to know here that nobody has mentioned...
How do you prevent it from updating if you're not rooted? Or is the answer to this question still "root the device" -_-

This is just my opinion, and since everyone has one, take it for what you will, but I've frozen the AT&T Software Update because assuming Samsung patches the root in the next update and sends it to the carriers to distribute, do you really want to do everything you can to get the next update even if you lose root?
Personally, I've done everything I could to get root, even if this cost me Samsung Pay which hopefully it won't, because someone smart enough on here will figure out how to patch the update with a ROM that we can flash later.....
Obviously that won't work right this second since we can't flash anything but Smart Switch / Odin stock junk, but assuming Safestrap or similar gets released, you can keep your bootloader lock all you want ATT, we'll just flash what we want over it!

(Update)
I ended up having to do a factory reset so it's working nice and smooth now. So the question is should I go about flashing a custom rom in Odin then using TWRP and as my custom recovery? Or just try it again or wait it out until more people have more success?
(EDIT) MY PHONE ISNT STUCK IN A BOOTLOOP BUT NOW ITS EXTREMLY SLOW.
I used this guide to root my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/sm-n910-cf-auto-root-t2897428/page160 did I miss anything ? should a flash twp onto my phone? im a complete noob to this and I made the mistake of rooting my main phone first please help.
well I woke this morning to my phone stuck in a bootloop it started to act funny right as I had to go to sleep. I cleared the cache didn't work so I had to factory reset and it worked but said my phone was no longer rooted so I repeated the process and rerooted my phone but now its in in the bootloop again what should I do to fix this?
