I've found the kitkat rooting tool for Optimus G Pro which was released yesterday. It's confirmed to be working for F240x series phones with KitKat.
StartRoot.bat will take you to a cwm recovery mode in where you can select the sideload option to install the root files. Once done, just install supersu from Play.
Just tried it on a F240K and works fine.

It's working On AT&T E980 (unlocked) E98018c too

Or just use the power button + volume button combination to get into the recovery mode.

Thanks so much mate.. But which volume buttons do I press and when do I press them? Can you please give me more details? Much appreciated ! ;o)

With the phone turned off, press power & volume up buttons at the same time. Then when the white text message comes up, release both buttons.

Hi. I just bought Optimus G Pro F240K. I have the stock recovery. How can I have CWM or TWRP without root? And I can't make this method work.

How can I unroot my LG-F240K?

[F240*]Root your G Pro Kitkat!

Manual root method for Optimus G Pro(F240*)!
I'm not sure about E99* devices, but it will work, if it has same AP.
Just double-click Run.bat and follow instructions, and you'll be rooted.
P.s don't post this on Korean site Devoloid, LG Deivce World. I already posted.

I was really shocked, Stock recovery can use sideload !

Thanks OP! This works like a charm!

why recovery in this root is old ? how to update to latest ?

The Run.bat did not work for me because it kept saying adb.exe is not a command.
I solved opening a command window in the folder and following the run.bat commands manually.

I rebooted in recovery after root, and I found the stock recovery again.
I assume this doesn't flash a custom recovery.
Just few questions: Will this root Optimus G Pro on KitKat only ?
I mean, if I didn't update and I were on 4.1.2, Could I use this root method to root my phone?
So if the answer at the previous question is a "yes" and since this root method is working on G pad and G2 too, Would it be possible to use this root method on G2 4.2.2 too ? Thanks.

Not sure about it, but both of them are possible, theoretically.
Any phone with system partition on /dev/.../msm_sdcc.1/... with stock recovery can use this tool.

No, you don't.
Just install it, connect your device with LG Software mode, and run update.
Note : updating your device will unroot it and custom recovery will be removed.

Did you select "apply update from adb" on recovery mode?

Yes, I did. After I selecting ADB, the bat file tried to send the zip to my phone but then there is a message, device not found.
I installed the LG driver and the USB driver from SDK tools.
I can see that Windows found the phone from the device manager but it is not installed properly. I tried to update the driver by pointing to the INF file in the SDK usb driver folder but still no luck.

I can root my phone finally. I just used a Windows 7 PC and it works. I only have the LG USB driver installed.

[Q] Rooting after the new update(10m)

I haven't seen a clear answer on this, so does anybody know what root methods still work after the new update? If they all still do, is there anything I should do differently in the rooting process?

You have to wait till one of the methods gets an upgrade
BAD ASS G3

Well seeing as how the d851 boot loader is shipping unlocked from T-Mobile I think it would be pretty safe to say that once you manage to properly install the 10m OTA, you would simply flash TWRP from purpledrake in fastboot and from there flash supersu.

I used Stump root and mine is rooted again. I had to use the brute force root to get it done in Stump. After that I installed SuperU, TWRP and Busy Box.

Purpledrake probably replaced the M boot.img with the C boot.img. If it did that means your back on the C kernel and if it didn't you no longer have the modded disabled root checker.

ENG = engineering kernel. It's an insecure development kernel leaked by someone on the inside. FWIW, I'm passing on this one.

Can we get a bump? vikes4life how is it? Do you have su working?

The eng.sboot works and i'll be able to get su working using this methol( http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-...-snag-t3334546 ) posted by metalcated. However, it just a tether root for me to unlock or read/write cert. By any change, someone has a stock firmware for PB2 baseband or a stock system.img please post. Thanks

Not too long, if it is more that 10-15 mins, check your md5s.
Btw, 30e zips where filled in the same place, you can keep root if you root 30D, install twrp, then install new zips.
