Hey all. I just got my G2. It is as sweet as I thought it would be.
I have been researching how to root and stuff, I have all that info. I just want to know if I have the latest stock version of the OS from HTC/T-Mobile, and if not, should I upgrade and then try to root? Or would it be easier to try and root the older FW if I have it?
Anyway, can anyone let me know if I have the latest FW? Here is the phone's info:
Android 2.2
Baseband: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernel: 2.6.32.17-g9ab3677

thanks in advance.
doesn't matter for G2 users.. pre-ota and post-ota are rooted the same way.

flashed with a stock rom which removed all the three crap and left me with a lovely clean phone, and the bonus of removing everything i did prior to flashing (remove root, visionary+, clockworkmod) which is what i wanted. though i do have the option to re-root, etc if needed

You will need eng s-off to flash any radio. There are radio flashing guides in xda. Don't know about latest, but use stock 1.32 only. If you go to 1.72 oat, you loose root. And have to downgrade guide to get root again

I've done some reading, and it seems there are two relatively easy ways to root the Sprint LG G2 - IO Root and Towelroot. Just wondering which one is recommended. The most important thing to me is that I won't lose any data by rooting, and I guess the second most important thing is being able to unroot (since I believe LG will eventually be offering Lollipop 5.0 and I'll definitely want to upgrade to that, and then hopefully re-root )
Thanks!
UPDATE: Here's my Android info just in case that helps.

You need to flash back the stock JB and go from there. Follow the guide in the posting below:

Ok so I have experience rooting Samsung phones, my previous phone was the S4. Now I've seen posts saying you can't root this phone and others saying you can, so I am a little confused. Some things I've seen are the BeastMode kernel which allows you to root, but I'm not sure if it's even necessary. I'm also heard people using CF-Auto-Root on Lollipop, but chainfire's site shows it only for 4.4.4 not 5.1.1, so again I am confused.
Any help on if and how I can root would be much appreciated. Please and Thank You!!

yes you can root/ cf auto root does not work on 5.1.1/ do alittle research and decide if you want pre 5.1 bootloader or if you took update to og5 then you can't use older kernel / any way you go...find a rom with root and superuser baked in....recommend hybrid x roms (sweet)...get your phone specs and decide which rom will suit your needs..
