Ok apparently the link won't directly download so select the link then from the list Tmobile G2 >D80110g

This is the last jb firmware before the kitkat update..

the f3/f6 jb updates do the same. I worked around that by flashing the ver b aboot on the F3 and think pressy4pie did the same on the F6.

I'm using the latest aboot on the f6 and I was able to root.

That would be the link I gave you in this thread which installs the previous version of your aboot/bootloader so you can install 4.4 with root. You can't get the aboot without root.

I see what y'all mean. That process is fricken ridiculous. I guess I was hoping that there would be a more straight forward method. I'll just have to live without root til the G3 comes out (assuming it doesn't have the same issue). Thanks for the information guys!

It's an app that roots you.

my saferroot app needs internet access and write permissions too.

my apps downloads the saferoot.zip only tho, only changes to it were to edit it to run from the device vs from a pc. Saferoot's src (posted on xda) as well as my app's src(on github) are readily available online tho.

does saferoot work on the lg motion?

I have successfully used towel root for the motion also. Not sure which firmware version the phone was on.
