Root KitKat LG G Pro or Any Device W/ TowelRoot
Its real folks, hacker Geohot created an apk file that claims to root any android device. I have personal tried this with my LG G Pro AT&T on KitKat 4.4.2 KOT49l.E98020g and I'm now rooted. Links Below
The method found on this form below allowed me to install clockwork mod recovery onto my device. From there I was able to download FreeGee from the play store to install Twrp Recovery.

Just did it on my E980. Installed Chainfire 1.99 for SuperUser, and then tried Titanium Backup to verify root. Everything is GOOD!
only issue was some confusion as to where the SU apk was stored. Roundly found it, and everything went smoothly!!!

When you've installed that recovery, download Freegee from the Play Store and install CWM 6.0.4.7. It can also backup your EFS partition.
Thanks

thanks work perfect on my ATT LG Optimus G PRO 4.4.2
WOWZERS!
Crap that was easy. Anybody seeing a difference in battery life? Heard it is diminished with root.
worked like a charm
if you want to install cwm , first install GPRO_Recovery_6.0.4.4
then use freegee tool

Has anyone tried this with e98020h. My phone forced the update when i wasnt paying attention and i had cwm installed which soft bricked my phone. I used lg flash tools to get back up and running but let it update to e98020h to check it out. Anywho i tried to root it with towelroot and softbricked the phone again. Just wondering if it was a hickup and if anyone can confirm towelroot doesnt work with e98020h.

got a small OTA package yesterday (about 89Mb). I unroot my phone and download the OTA. LG said the update package includes apps updates. After I've installed the update, I didn't see much difference (apart from the fact the the home launcher seems to be more fluid). But when i tried to root my phone using TowelRoot, it failed. ... so, please beware. if u don't want to loose your root, don't install the latest OTA update.

- Download G Pro Recovery and Freegee.
- Open G Pro Recovery and select the 'Flash Recovery' option at the of the menu.
- Then open Freegee and choose your recovery. (Probably not a bad idea to take advantage of the EFS backup there and transfer that backup off the phone for emergency purposes.)
Towelroot -> G Pro Recovery -> Freegee == works for me every time.

It depend on which KK version you are using. You should use towelroot (v20A) or adb sideload (v20B), please read more at http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-intl/help/how-to-root-lg-optimus-g-e975-kitkat4-4-t2834981

I used Framaroot to unroot after failing with the other root/unroot options. Then I updated via computer using "mobile support tool". OTA update did not work for me!
And have been using 4.4.2 (V20a EUR OPEN) without bugs (that I am aware of ) for about a week now.

I had problem using the mobile support tool, turned out it did not work on usb 3.0 ports, switched to a 2.0 port and then it worked, so if anyone still cant update with the supporttool then try to hardreset your phone and make sure to use a 2.0 usb port,
Hi peeps
i seem to be having problems after downgrading from lollipop to kitkat 4.4.2 and used kHz file uk 10a
i did the whole kdz method n flash tool and although it worked and i am back to stock i can no longer edit APN details and also i can not update software in anyway.
iI have tried hard reset to see if this fixes the issues but no it doesn't, my computer no longer sees my device and also the same in LG suite, device not found blah blah.
I should also say with all this i wanted to also get rid of Mcafee but i can also not root my device now from what i can see, i can enter download mode but i also find it doesn't work
If anyone can give me some heads up ideas to solve this problem that would be fantastic
What's "kHz file uk 10a"? Kilohertz?
Don't use any shady .kdz files. If you search for lg g3 kdz files you end up on an XDA website where everyone shares his official .kdz link. Flash one of those .kdzs for your device and if you're using any v10x kdz you can root it.

hi thanks for asking
I'm now running kitkat 4.4.2 after the downgrade and the version I'm running is V10a-234-20
I suggest to root it with Stump root
- Download Stump Root app and copy it to your device: Click here
- Open File Manager app and install the Apk file. Do not forget to check Unknown sources option under Settings> Security on your device.
- Having installed the app, open Stump Root from app drawer and tap the Grind button. Stump Root will greet you with a melody while the device is being rooted.
- Wait till Stump Root works its magic and allow the device to reboot when you are prompted to do so.
- When you phone boots up, install SuperSU app by Chainfire (download it in playstore)
- To verify root access on your device, download a root checker app and run it.
- Then download TWRP: Click Here
- Flash it with Flashify (download it in playstore)
- Flash any ROM you want to make your G3 like a new one

you can try installing custom recovery (TWRP or any custom recovery you want) and flash the Super user and remove kinguser this way should work i guess

sir please help me rooting my device ive got lg g3 d855 android version 5.0 software version V20n-234-30. thanks
Please help me root my G3 too. I'd love to know how
this is a simple way root your device not sure if it will work but it works with marshmallow tho
1)you will download kinguser apk from playstore and try to root your phone try to root your phone if it failed you will download the windows version of iroot from here http://www.iroot.com/ (you are rooted here)
If you want to swap to supersu
2)you will need to install a custom recovery which will be simple will install this from google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager&hl=en thats TWRP and will select your device
3)https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip you will need to download this zip and reboot to custom recovery you can do it manually or by this apk https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.petrus.tools.reboot
flashing a zip: will be by pressing install in recovery then you will search for the zip in the location you put it in. im not responsible for anything happens to your device.

Use lgup tool and install KitKat
lg up says unknown device
Okay you have similar problems As me 1.download and install lg mobile support tool 2.go in download mode -> to come there press volume up and power 3. Connect to PC 4. Make sure drivers are installed but the program will tell you 5. Let it install the latest update its official 6. Use LG UP again download mode etc same as before.. download kdz according to your phone 7. Select the kdz on lgup tool then lollipop should be installed or KitKat what you prefer and what kdz you installed with 10 in the name should be kit kat with 20 should be lollipop when I remember right. 8. Download kingroot from kingroot official website install from activate from unknown source if u don't have it ticked it will say its a threat go on the red text and choose install anyway. 9.Open kingroot root your phone with kingroot
10. Down and install autorec according to your running system either lollipop or kitkat this will install twrp or you can use flashify ( flashify is an app and to be found in the playstore) to get the newest version your decision well there u have it
