[Q] Towelroot for 4.4.2? - LG G Flex

I know I've seen some info that root is lost on the Flex if you upgrade to 4.4.2 and wanted to get confirmation on that. Does towelroot work on 4.4.2 or is it basically impossible to achieve root? Thanks

It Works

Accept update to 4.4 if I want root?

Hi all!
I just got an att moto x of Craigslist.
I'm planning on rooting it.
It hasn't been updated to 4.4 yet.... Is there a problem accepting the update if I want to root /unlock?

JCase has rooted 4.4 but don't take the update yet go to rootzwiki and his tutorial on how to do it is there. You start with 4.2.2.

At&t Lg Flex D950 Upgraded to Kitkat with Root retained.

I have at&t LG Flex, rooted and than updated to kitkat, surprised was when it updated to Kikat and root was retained, I used all applications that require supersu and work like charm.
Follow this, If you did not upgraded root it with ioroot and don't unroot it, take OTA update and you will keep the root.
If you upgraded, downgrade it via lgflashtool method, root with ioroot and update ota and you will keep the root..Good Luck

What did you do before hand? Cuz you're literally the only person so far i think. I tried everything and even went back to jelly bean 3 times trying to retain root with different programs. It would always error out on the update screen

Basically what I did was I rooted on JB and when KK update came, I removed root from superSu "unroot", I tried to upgrade to Kikkat and failed, so I did lgflashtool (you directed me by the way) and flashed it to JB, rooted again and kept the root and superSu..tried update from menu and went through and kept the root.

I was unable to try it out last night, ever since upgrading to kit Kat i can no longer choose which mode to connect (usb only, mtp, etc) so after flashing back the problem followed me which prevented me from running ioroot successfully. Luckily i had ordered a new flex yesterday from AT&T after their service center confirmed something was borked during the update, it'll be here Monday. Can't do anything till then.

i can confirm that root on kitkat works. i flashed back to jellybean then rooted then took the kitkat update, and still obtained root access.

So far it's only available for AT&T so that's nothing to "upload". Without recovery for these phones there's no way to create roms from kit Kat source

Downgrade to 4.2.2 then root phone using ioroot then take the 4.4.2 update this is for att g flex only you should retain root

need towelroot ??????

I need link to download towelroot for my moto x
is this root working with
XT1052 KXA21.12-L1.26 Asian retail
You need to be on Android version 4.4.3 or lower for this method to work. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655042336
If you are on Android version 4.4.4 you can't root. Unless you have an unlocked boot loader.

With a little more reading, you could have found the same information on the front page of the Development section, but here...

Use the non-rooted version you have (hopefully with your laf.img still there) and LG Flash Tools with the 20b kdz for lollipop. Then after upgrading, root using the information in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3072568

Glad to hear you got it worked out.

Best root option 4.4.4 OA2?

Good day all,
Just got myself an AT&T Galaxy s5 for use on the cricket network.
Android: 4.4.4
Baseband: G900AUCU2AOA2
Kernel: 3.4.0-3116194
I've already tried towelroot and kingo rooting both of which failed.
What's my best option to get root / custom recovery?

Will that work with oa2 (newer than oa1)?
Should work as long as you don't take a 5.x update from ATT.

Thanks shakatu The rooting was successful!
how did you get it to work? i an on 4.4.4 oa2 and when i downloaded tower root, just says my device is not compatible
You have to Odin back to the 4.4.2 that towelroot works on. It's in the thread above and it does work.
