I received the OTA ZVC update last week and was currently rooted and had TWRP installed at the time. I reflashed the stock rom using the LG Flash tool and went through three updates to eventually wind up at Kitkat, when I was using the stock ZVA rom I was able to use IORoot 25 to root my phone and then use FreeGee to install TWRP later on. Now that I'm on ZVC Official I can still use IORoot25 to root my phone but can not seem to get a custom recovery to stick, anybody else figure this out?
You need a downgraded aboot and kernel.

There's a new method to install twrp without breaking download mode , once you're on ZVC rooted with ioroot25, download the new app by @Cloudyfa http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51857807 which would install twrp and you will still be able to use download mode if you have to!

Also, you can just flash the ZVC TOT. You don't need to flash an old TOT and work your way to current. I was on ZV7 rooted and went straight to ZVC TOT.

I just did what IORoot25 and the AutoRec. I'm with sprint and just got the phone. What can I do with this KK release? Can I install camera update or try out kernels? There seems to be no roms for this ZVC update.
So, I do I determine which kernel is patched to work with ZVC? since AutoRec is patched, there must be other patched Kernels out there. Just a noob right now.

KitKat just came out, developers are hard at work breaking things down so it is safe to flash. Lg did some things making it tougher and a lot of internal changes.
Kernel, only other available is furnace 2.0.

Does anyone know what to do once download mode is broken? I have progressed between the "stuck in recovery mode" problem, then the fastboot only problem, and now while getting download mode to actually show on screen instead of fastboot i have broken my download mode with fastboot-ing zvc files to the phone. Any ideas on getting this back in a programmable state? I'm on a windows 8.1 x64 machine.

Try the auto-rec for your model here on post 1,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
I'm on Sprint ls980, and no issues. This will fix boot, kernel, recovery, and download mode.
If you get white lines, us the fix @Cloudyfa has posted to get back. This puts you back to how it was before the program. No recovery and locked boot and stock kernel.

So I finally got the official KitKat uptade from LG for LG-E977 model, and the device will be completely stock. How do I root the device in KK? Towelroot, Framaroot? How do I root and unlock the bootloader after rooting, is it the same as with stock JellyBean? Thanks in advance.
edit: Neither Framaroot neither Towelroot worked, but someone suggested ioroot and it worked fine. Link:

After this, just download SuperSU from Play Store and then Freegee to install stock CWM recovery.
I have a G3 in white running 10r. To get root should I do the downgrade method or do any existing root tools manage to get root on Lolipop? LP is 20b baseband, correct?
EDIT: I just used LG Root Script v1.2 and it worked perfectly. Got root, installed Flashify from the app store and used that to install TWRP 2.8.6.0. Literally the easiest root -- installing recovery on any device ive ever owned
I previously rooted my tablet. Then Verizon finally put out 5.0 lollipop update. Now rootchecker, superuser, and other root tools says my tablet isn't rooted but stumproot says it is. I want to reroot my tablet can any one help?
Use LG Flash Tool 2014 to flash the 24A KDZ, use Stump to root, put the bump'd 4.2.2 aboot (bootloader) on and install the loki'd TWRP v2.7.0.1. Upgrade to ClockworkMod Recovery (thread in Development) and then flash my ViKtory810 ROM from my thread listed in my signature below. I haven't updated my ROM OP, I know I say to use TWRP but flashing SuperSU.zip in TWRP and trying to boot 35A_08 (official LG Lollipop) has caused problems for some people that's a little bit of a pain to get out of. My ROM thread has all the rest of the instructions you need once you have custom recovery on there.
Hi. I have an AT&T LG Gpad 7 that I downgraded to 4.4 to root using a thread from XDA and then tried out Candyrom and CM12 and CM13.
I need to return this device to stock condition.
I followed another thread contained within XDA but no matter what I do, I cannot use OTA to get back to stock lollipop.
Here is what I did:
Installed stock test KDZ using LG Flash Tool2014
Rooted via one click
Fixed partition size
Installed flashily
Installed TWRP via flashily
Installed stock 4.4 rooted rom from XDA
Flashed stock recovery from XDA
When I did this. I still have the white line distortion and OTA updates do not work. Any ideas? I wish I could just get the real KDZ for the AT&T V410 LTE 16gb!

I'd like to be able to get to Stock 5.1.1 as well. I'm at the same spot you are. Except I didn't do the stock test, I'm on 4.4 rooted.
，I also was told I could not return to a 5.1. But I just want to try or cm12 cm13. Can you give me some help?
