look there and please next time use the search button of this forum.
you need root to install CM9.
Thanks for the quick response, I did look at that thread however I am hesitant to do the unbrick method. Is there any manual method/other way I can do it?

nope. You have to flash a new KDZ file alltogether because the Telus one is unrootable.
Once you get your head around the 'unbricking method', there is really nothing to it.
or you can wait till Telus releases the next update, and hope that it is rootable.
Sorry to be a hassle but could you give me a noob type rundown on how to do this

Hi everyone,
I just registered but have been reading some of the stuff on here for a while.
Anyway, I have a Korean LG Optimus 4G LTE (Nitro HD) and just updated to ICS 4.0.4. I'd like to root it so I can clean it up a little and maybe modify some stuff, but the guides online don't refer to my exact software version.
My question is, will the root guides/software for V20e software work on my Korean V20d phone? Does the software version really matter?
Thanks

use this method it works on p930 and should work on v20d too

Thanks for the suggestion, but is there a way to do it without re-flashing the ROM (and losing all my data)?

with that method you dont loose any of your datas and you dont need to re flash your rom
there is a Video Tutorial , its very simple just follow the instructions .
I gave it a go, and after a lot of messing around to get the phone working with a Mac/VMware, it's now rooted! Thanks for the link :good:

Hello to all, i'm making this thread to understand some things about my LG, firts i'm from Venezuela and i have and LG Optimus G E977 with Movistar (LG Optimus G E977=E975 with different modem for Latin America); i have already root the phone and unlock it with FreeGee app, thanks to this guys really for simplify our lives, so i want to install the CyanogenMod rom and i encounter with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...4611&nocache=1 so when i click in the download link i see there is a stable version, so my question is what is the difference i know Nightlies is something like a beta but the last Nightlies post there is more efficient than the stable or what ?, another question is if i install that room i need to find the modem for Movistar here in Venezuela or it don't touch that section ?, the FreeGee app install the TWRP i choose the 2.5 but i don't know how to acces it in this phone i read and search and it is an app for booting in TWRP but there is no manual access ?, and my last question is when i have completely install CM 10.1 i must put this kernel i find to make the full change in my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2312735 ?, forgive me if i asked many question, but i think is better to post all the doubts for disturb less, some information about my phone LG Optimus G E977 Movistar Venezuela, Android version 4.1.2 Stock, Kernel version 3.4.0, with root and bootloader unlock i check it by pressing volume up and power button, thanks in advance for all the answers guys, have a good day
P.D.: i have already change the room of my Asus Transformer Infinity TF700, so i have at least some experience in this
Wait a litle more and learn.no need to rush.you will find here all necessary infos,just search.make sure you know how to revert changes you made,before applying them.better safe than sorry.a litle advice,do not flash e975 software.in europe we mostly have 2600mhz lte band.if your carrier uses another band,you will lose 4g.all custom roms work on e977.i mean e 975 custom roms,not e973/e971.
One last thing,if you flash 4.2.x rom,mounting poits will be changed.this means the whole folder tree will be different and you won't be able to see your old files normally.you will find them in /data/media folder.for that you will need a root explorer and mount as r/w the very root of the device.

Thanks for the advice dude, i don't understand exactly what you mean with no need to rush , if it is something i did wrong i apologize, i want to put the same CM you have, you install the stable version or the Nightlies one ?, and how you get into the TWRP in this phone ?, thanks again kimitza for taking the time to answer me, really appreciate it
See,exactly this small things are the difference between succes and brick your phone.like i said,all infos are here.just look for them.there were so many cases of bricked phones because they rushed and not read all the way....don't be one of those.
It's quite easy to work with the g,but it has a litle trick.you mentioned something about freegee.please read all it's features.one of them is INSTALLING custom recovery.after that,all you need is an app from praystore™ to reboob into recovery,because you can't enter recovery mode on stock rom by using buttons combo.it will get only to service mode or hard reset menu.
I recommend cwm touch though,not twrp.
There,i gave you all the info you need.
Before starting,tell me the exact procedure of rooting,unlocking,flashing custom rom and,most important,how to get back to stock.if you do that,i will help all the way in the future with all i can.this is the only way for me to be sure.your call.
Ps. If i don't make much sense,it's because i slept only 3 hrs in last 2 days.so,sorry.

Take a break kimitza a long one, wow few hours is not a good idea unless job or other situations, and don't worry you make more sense that many other people, trying to avoid me a hardbrick things that must be appreciate, i always read all the information before make a change or flashing something so don't to worry about that, i will tell you what i've done and how to revert it, firts with the root, i use the fastloader and the ZV9-ZVB Universal root with CurrentRoot bat file, to revert it i must go to the app SuperSU and make the clean uninstall and install the stock version from LG to ensure a good revert process, to unlock the phone i use the FreeGee app it tell's me about my stock special unlock and that it would touch some sbl files it's okay because i've never make a change in those files with this LG so i proceed to unlock it and success additional it install me the 2.5.0 TWRP and for revert it, it tell me i can do it with the same app, for flashing a custom room thing i want to do for better performance is download the file i will put the stable version of the CM 10.1, placing into the phone, use the app to boot in recovery mode, make a factory reset with the TWRP and flash it, then it comes one question i don't know i must put this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2312735 for a better performance or not ?, what you recommend me ?, to revert it i must use the LG Software with the LG Drivers, already installed bot, and install the stock version, i will not make any backup because i don't want to backup anything my contacts and other prior stuff is already backup, want to make a clean flash, so kimitza if you have some tip or some suggestion or even a correction please tell me i will proceed when you answer me, if i have any problem with the modem signal i will contact you, i don't think it will touch it but we never know, thanks again for your time my friend and don't forget to please answer my question about the kernel i know it must be installed after installing the CM 10.1 rom, waiting your answer
P.D.: by the way sorry if my english is not perfect or clean, you know not my natal lenguage but i make it good at least hahaha
After you unlock and install custom recovery,install any app from market which reboobs into recovery mode.i personally use rom toolbox pro,but there are apps only for that.the best it seems to bee quickboot.
After this,you can flash any compatible rom or kernel in cwm.now i'm using thinking bridge s4 with kite kernel.i love the new looks.also,flashing latest nightly from official cm is not bad.kite kernel will work with it too.

I was reading nice reviews about that rom for the S4, so you recommend me the last Nightlies more than the stable version ?, wow dude why ?, is it not supposed than the stable version is better ?, hmmm i'm confused now hahaha , yeah in some threads they recommend quickboot to boot into custom recoverys, i will use that kernel when i finish flashing the rom, but tell me why last Nightlies prior to stable one ?, i'm little newbie about the differences, i have not read the chanellog, so teach me if you can, thanks kimitza in advance :good:
Don't be confused by the titles.all builds are good for daily driver,cm team doesn't release anything but quality.it's called nightly because they merge somethings,they add some features etc,but it's the same base as stable.
I'm using tb s4 now and i'm impressed.

Yep and for those who want to know about if the modem firmware or modem files on the LG Optimus G E977 will be changed installing the rom's for the LG Optimus G E975 or another kernels have no fear nor doubt it will not touch the firmware or the files of the modem so you can and have acces to the same line operator before making the changes, greetings and hugs from Venezuela to all

Yes, I don't know what else to try. If installing cm10.1 does not modify your current baseband it must be configuration or rom. Tried 2 different aosp based rom (cm10.1 nightly and pacman) with 3 different kernels (p33, cm stock and kite).
Also tried adding hsdpa categories explicitly on build.prop. Tried using service hidden menu to switch between modem bands. Tried backing up the whole modem partition img from the stock rom my phone came with and making a flashable zip, which didn't work either.
So if anyone with movistar (Venezuela) can do "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/1modem.img" from a root shell on the phone or from adb (with adb shell su -c) compress the img and upload it, I would appreciate eternally. The image should be around 64mb uncompressed. I would make a flashable zip and give it back if it works.

Use this tool to backup your rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37764554
Then compress 1modem.img and upload it somewhere like mediafire or any free file sharing. Post the link here and I'll do the rest.
Also make sure you have the stock baseband provided by movistar.
Thank you for helping another luis

Made it from the kdz at lg-phone-firmware. Flashed stock, rooted, flashed cm10.1 with the modem, deleted the apn, created it manually, didn't work.
Went back to stock and have h+ again. Wierd stuff.
Anyway here is the flashable modem.

unfortunately the bootloader isnt unlocked so we cant flash custom roms to the og pro...from other users it seems that that is true of the international versions as well. next time a lil digging might save u the trouble of asking. there is rooting available so u can make some tweaks...at least for the att version. havent looked into weather it would work on other versions, maybe a dev will answer that for u. as for the docomo gui, the simplest answer to that is just install nova launcher or go launcher or some other launcher and use those themes, i used to use go launcher a lot and it has tons of customizations and controls u can tweak.
That current root method should work for all versions of this phone.
Oh
Thanks for your answers,
1) so the versions for the F220K doesn't fit to the L-04e?
2) can someone give me a link to the root method? (i afraid to make mistake...)
3) the docomo is not only gui it takes control also on the Contacts and some of the features that google usually do.
Thanks!

thats the root for this device. again i would advice not to try flashing any roms...so far from whats been discussed in the bootloader unlock forum flashing will either brick ur device or it'll force a factory reset and all u'll do is wipe ur phone. we're almost to the point of being able to flash roms soon tho so give it a lil time. as for docomo pretty much trying to control ur phone, its still a droid, u can install apps to do cover everything pretty much. i rooted mine and loaded a different texting app and got rid of the one included by lg/att. as for contacts u can download different apps to manage contacts and dialers. i had mentioned go launcher before, they also have go contacts that is a customizable contact app, they hae their own text app too...so u dont have to use the docomo provided apps, even if u dont root it

That unroot method should work for all versions of the phone. If you do some digging you will find it is actually the same root method for the Optimus G.

Yes i tried, famaroot not working on this phone (((
Works for L-04e
Update, way too late. I got a message saying I had successful rooted. It in actuality had not worked. Still looking to root it.
Sorry for the incorrect information and late update.
Originally I wrote:
I just got root on an Optimus G Pro L-04e NTT DoCoMo. Followed instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946. It took me a couple of tries as I probably did something wrong, but I am now rooted.
I also tried FeeGee (paid version referenced in the above link) to get get the boot-loader unlocked. That hasn't worked for me. I started to do the more complicated manual version noted at the above link, but it looked like it was going to try to do the same thing and so gave up while I was still ahead.
I hope the bootloader unlock becomes available soon.
Thanks for the rooting information. i didnt try rooting yet.
i also hope that the bootloader will be unlocked soon
