I just upgraded my cellular device of choice from a LG VOLT (Which WAS the greatest phone i have ever had) until my purchase of a Factory Unlocked LG G2 and Root via the IORoot method worked like a CHARM!
If you need to Root your G2; The IORoot method I used can be found here:
[HIDE][ROOT] Root your G2 [ATT|VZW|TMO|KT|RGS|BELL|TELUS|OPEN] [Yay!][/HIDE]
AFTER THAT:
I had one hell of a time trying to find a method to install a custom recovery with positive results! Team Win Recovery Project has always been a personal favorite of mine, and i could not get it to work correctly with the normal way of using Flashify; and the next route i tried failed when the specific versions download link of the G2 FREEDOM TOOL my phone requires was dead - (Version 24a). The "Loki" method also wouldnt work for me either. So just when I was about to give up; Low and behold; I found a method that appeared EVEN EASIER then all the above. It is a simple .apk that automatically installs Loki, and flashes TWRP Recovery (v2.7) in about 30 Seconds!
PLEASE NOTE: I just want to share the EASIEST process i have found to install a custom recovery in hopes it could help someone else who encountered the same problems I did.
I of course take NO CREDIT for this method; and I am not responsible for any damage or any voiding of any warranty that doing this to your device could cause! I REPEAT: THIS IS NOT MY WORK! IM JUST PROVIDING A LEAD!
Here you can find the G2 Freedom Tool - TWRP:

BUT!!! When if those methods fail you; or you just want to try something as EASY as downloading and Installing an .apk; using a "One Click; No Brick" process called: "AutoRecovery" then GIVE THIS A SHOT!!!
