[Q] Rooting LG G2

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.
Version: 4.4.2
Baseband version: M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20046
Kernel version: 3.4.0
Build #: KOT49I.LS980ZVD
Software version: LS980ZVD

[Q] Back to Stock

Hi Friends,
It's been an year since I decided to crack open my android OS and install an OS which was lot faster sans bloat ware. I chose to go with CWM recovery and Cyanogen. I was happy not seeing At&T logo while my phone boots up and was hoping much better things as I use this phone. However, no matter to which version I upgrade, CM has been extremely disappointing to say the least. Not to sound like I am whining, can someone guide me on how to get back to stock OS without bricking my device. My device details given below.
Model: AT&T Samsung Galaxy SIII (Samsung SGH-I747)
Baseband version: I747UCDMG2
Bootloader version: I747UCDMG2
Android version: 4.4.4
CM version: M10-d2lte (downgraded from M11-12 after issues with camera, call volume, mobile networks)
I am seeking help on:
1. Where can I get the stock ROM that suits my device current state
2. Steps on how to wipe off the current crap on my phone and install stock
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sid

If your phone isn't unlocked and you are able to flash to stock 4.1.1, use the free method to unlock it before upgrading the bootloader.

Hi OP,
were you able to go back to stock ROM from Android ver 4.4.4 Bootloader I747UCDMG2?
If yes, please let me know which stock ROM you used. I am in the same boat.
Thanks

[Q] Is the AT&T Note II impossible to root?

First off here are the current details of my device:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SM-N900A
Android Version: 5.0
Baseband Version: N900AUCUEOC1
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-4335446
Build Number: LRX21V.N900AUCUEOC1
Knox Version: 2.3​-------------------------------------------------------------
(Sorry I would have posted screenshots but I don't have 10 posts yet.)
I bought the phone with KitKat 4.4.2 and Baseband Version N900AUCUCNC2
Since then it has been updated through:
KitKat 4.4.4 - Baseband: N900AUCUDNJ5
KitKat 4.4.4 - Baseband: N900AUCUDNL1
and now Lollipop 5.0 - Baseband: N900AUCUEOC1​
I carelessly updated my phone via Firmware Over the Air (FOTO) not knowing at the time that it would change the process for rooting the phone later on.
I have tried many tutorials and checked various threads throughout the forum for a solution but it just seems AT&T phones are extremely hard to root nowadays.
Some of the things I have tried without success are:
TowelRoot
KingoRoot
Root De La Vega
and possibly a few various other methods.​
It is also possible that I may have done one of the above methods incorrectly, although I tried to follow the instructions as carefully as I could for each tutorial.
I have heard that it is easiest to root this phone while it is at KitKat 4.4.2 and I am curious if there is a way where I could downgrade the Android version and successfully root this phone. But I have also heard that AT&T patched 4.4.2 so that it was harder to root although I am not quite sure if this matters.
If anyone has any solution to my problem I would so greatly appreciate it. I want to be able to use this phone to its full potential before I get a new one.

With the 5.0 update comes a fully locked bootloader. ..which means no kernels....ever again. .
Downgrade is not possible to an older version. ..
No bootstrap recovery exists to my knowledge. ..and leaves you with no real root options. ..
Perhaps our devs could find a method. ...but support is not looking good for this older device.
You are locked up tight. ..
Very sorry. ...g

Sounds like you have a Note 3, not the 2.

What he said. Note 2 is i317 and has no lollipops

Can I root this phone? Need Help.

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!!
Device Info:
Software Version: N910PVPU4COG5
Hardware Version: N910P.05
Model Number: SM-N910P
Android Version: 5.1.1
Baseband Version: N910PVPU4COG5
Build Version: LMY47X.N910PVPU4COG5

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..

Help LG G3 S D722 Stock Firmware

Hello XDA! First I want to say I am not new to rooting but I'm still noob at it.
So here's my problem. I've rooted my LG G3 S D722 (I don't know if it is known as Beat) 3 months ago and I wanted to unroot it today for a software update. The only problem is that I haven't unrooted it correctly. Now I can't root it anymore (or I don't know how). Anyway I wanted to unroot it so I heard a Hard Reset will unroot it but it wasn't like that. After I hard reseted it, a game app which I really like it keeps giving me crashes and I don't know what to do.
I'm thinking that my last solution is to downgrade the software to the stock firmware but I don't how, again. I've searched 12 hours today and I couldn't find anything brilliant and 100% working without breaking the device.
Device : LG G3 S D722
OS: Android
OS version: 5.0.2
ROM: Lollipop
Kernel version: 3.4.0+
Bandbase version: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1.15-00044-M8926DAAAANAZM-1
Compiler Number: LRX22G.A1440040099
Software version: V20d-EUR-XX
The point is I want to downgrade it to stock firmware first. If I can't do that I want to root it again (if it is possible) and install a custom ROM, but I would prefer the stock unrooted firmware. Any help?
Thanks in advance!
