Thanks for the posts. Just picked up this bad boy today and wasn't too sure myself.
Root complete. Now on to unlock and flashing recovery. I think I might try the CM mod out tonight!
Not working
I just picked up a LG Optimus G E973 (TELUS), yesterday, and this method isn't working. I followed the Youtube video and still nothing. I've tried it on both my Windows XP and Windows 7 laptops. Both just hang at the "If successful I will tell you ... " shell message.
The only thing that I can think of that might cause this problem is that I received a Software Update last night. My software version is E97310g instead of the E97310f that the Youtube video shows. Are there any other methods that will work or is this it?

Since the update, no current root method works, that I know of. I have the Telus OG as well, and I have the update available, but im going to wait until there is a new method of rooting. hope that explains it

As the post right above yours mentions, it's probably due to Telus firmware which was just released last night/this morning.

The only way this is possible is to flash the old stock rom and root that, then use my guide to update OTA. This is what I've done and it works for me.

Well damn. I guess I'll wait a bit longer for a reliable root method to come along. I'm sure it will happen. I just want to trash Facebook and a couple other small programs that I want nowhere near my phone. I can wait a bit longer for that.
Thanks anyway.

Okay please read this carefully.
Freegee has gone under a near complete rewrite in order to make it easier to add support for new varients and software versions. It's now a very simply process for me and doesn't involve updating the app anymore. This also will allow me to add newer and better recovories.
That said this is a highly beta version. Lot of debugging code is still in there, I just need more people to test it. I've used it fine, but someone else soft bricked. I've tried to get people on irc to test so I can help in real time but alas I didn't get many offers at all. So I'm posting this here. Please though don't use this unless you know how to kdz/lgnpst back to stock. This might blow up your phone, until I get people to actually test it more than myself and skdubg did I can't know.
http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/optimusg/freegee/FreeGee-beta.apk
EU and Korean kt_kr (180k) support is added! Candians are left out cause no one would give me your lgswverion build props
edit: Also is F180L20L lgu_kr or skt_kr? I'm guessing lgu, but just want to verify.

As far as not being able to unlock, I'd like to get a few more people to test it to make sure you aren't one of the special ones that need the sbl stack in addtion to new bootloader. That is what skdubg for his eu E975 needed.
Ok I'll wait for the next version.

Untill we have a .kdz file in our hands we can't say anything for sure. Most probably (and I hope) the firmware shown in the video is only a beta because too many features are missed :crying: we saw how LG is used to manage the updates with the G2, so first of all rolled out a "beta" version in some asian countries, without some features (ART for example)..Then, some weeks later rolled out the final version of the firmware. Anyway we are very close :fingers-crossed:

Thank's very much for the useful details don't worry if you can't share the rom, personally I am not obsessed with having always the latest beta..I suppose that when it's done, LG will start the roll out, and then, here on xda, works will start Only if it's not a problem and if it's possible for you, would be appreciated if you can keep the community informed on what it's added and what it's removed between the various betas, so we can passionately follow LG's progress..if you want to create a discussion, for example, the community would be happy.
Anyway..I think that ART is foundamental for the future, so it's a great news that it's here! :victory:
knock on is a pity, so even knock code would not be there..but it's not as "foundamental" as ART for example, because I think that some talented developer would integrate at least knock on in the kernel (@ak for example, I was thinking to you LOL). The "major" problem would be the knock off, because I suppose that, if the phone doesn't have the knock on, the launcher wouldn't support the gesture to double tap to sleep.
Now it remains to see the other features that LG usually bakes in the roms, as slide aside, Guest mode (it would be REALLY REALLY REALLY useful, at least for me)..hope in good things to come :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Could you be more specific? Because I can't fully understand the problem I mean.. (correct me if I am wrong):
-We start from an optimus g, with lg bootloader (for the noobs that read, it can be unlocked with freegee)
-if you put the nexus 4 bootloader ( I suppose following something similar to this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2099784 changing the bootloader partition) I think that the phone will load properly only kernels meant for the nexus 4 (and not even all the kernels for nexus 4, according to the OP of the guide), but I'm not sure because I've never changed the bootloader..Supposing that correctly manages even the optimus g kernels (and it's possible), I suppose that the problem now is the recovery, because nobody created a recovery working with kitkat roms from optimus G. For anybody, that doesn't have almost anything for now to work on..it's almost impossible to create it, IMHO..I think we have only to wait for LG's relases, sorry

I think it's necessary because with a new .kdz rom and new android version, usually even the bootloader is replaced by LG with a new version..so the old method at 99% won't work. Of course is worth a try..but I think that loading trough nexus 4 bootloader is the only option to try..even because probably the jelly bean bootloader wouldn't be compatible with kitkat roms..
We only have to wait for a kdz, nothing else..only few weeks and here we go, hoping that someone would be able to unlock (as fast as possible) the kitkat bootloader..

I'm on the same boat! Bought mine directly from TIM, here in Brazil...
I've read somewhere that the P letter refers to some kind of package bundle, like mine which came with the wireless charger... Just don't know it really is this way for sure...
Well, mine did come with the wireless charger as well.
Hope someone know the answer... My firmware version is 10a, from what I heard there are many improvements already on the newer ones.

That is an interesting question, and depending on the answer I will buy this phone. I think the fw is the same, since these model share the "D855" model.
Another question is: what is the worst scenario to try the flash? Maybe the phone will be in a bootloop, but flashing the right fw after will probably fix that
Maybe... But I'm afraid to brick it hahaha. Would like someone confirming it.
I'm with the same problem.
I think it's compatible, but I'm afraid of bricking it.

Totally agree, but some applications are having issues with that, Just like the others I need to know if it is safe to flash the d855 firmware in our d855p phones, my phone is from TElcel carrier in Mexico, I hope someone give us some light.
I managed to change from delvik to ART. my G3 is d855p from vivo.
Just really want to know about flashing...
I tried the Towelroot method and TWRP for D855 with success on my D855P v10a from Telcel (Mexico).

Now I have my first custom rom.
Hope this info can help you... I'm not responsable for any damage you could do to your phone. Always backup everything (system,boot,efs,recovery) before trying this.
You must choose D855 and not another model.

btw mine one is SIM-unlocked from carrrier Telcel, I tried to put a Tuenti simcard and it works XD
I have rooted using PurpleDrake-lite, worked smoothly.
Installed Xposed Frameworks and G3 TweakBox, all working.
One interesting think I checked was when I installed G3 TweakBox, I installed it from PlayStore on my computer, and the phone is listed as BCP LGE-D855... so I guess it's safe to flash the stock firmwares from D855, as "badtzo" said he did on his one from Mexico.
Later I will try to flash the European, Unbranded 10E version to mine, will report results.
As said before, reporting results.
Tried to flash Europe-NoBrand 16gb 10E version from this topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799647), using method described there (LGFlashTool), not succeeded, it won't flash as it accuses to be different model phone.
"badtzo" flashed using TWRP, and said he succeeded with a custom room, so I have a question for him before trying something else...

I tried the Towelroot method and TWRP for D855 with success on my D855P v10a from Telcel (Mexico).

Can you check if your phone model is showing as D855 on about now? If it does, we might have a way there, flash SphinX G3 Neo V2.0 and later do what I couldn't succeed for stock updated version.

No, mine info on phone still remain saying it is D855P, but stock one and moded build.prop says is D855, also Pc Suite says is D855 but it download D855P10A_00.kdz (telcel one). I tried that specific rom because it can be flashed through recovery, I don't recommend to flash any firmware via KDZ until we can be 100% sure about compatibility otherwise you can mess the bootloader and brick your phone. By now just flash roms that doesn't modify anything with boot.
I won't try, as I don't have much experience with LG's.
Guess we will have to wait a little more, new custom rooms and some more information.
By the way how did you install TWRP? I had a quick look for it and looks like there is no official LG G3 version yet.

In general section is a post about tethered TWRP for D855 "only". Don't try to flash it, I did it and my phone was acting weird, just do the specified steps on the post, to boot not flash from it and you will be safe and don't forget to backup your recovery first.

DO NOT use the method posted in general thread unless the rooted system is the same version as your current system.
If you have a f500l with 10a a rooted system was linked in the original dev sub forum. I cant try it since I soft bricked using method im recommending you dont use. Ymmv

That really sucks! I'm sorry to hear that. I imagine you'll get a solution before the Sprint users. Sprint doesn't believe in KDZs for some reason lol. You'll get one sooner or later.

Yes its a shame. I was having great fun with the G4.
Some users were able to flash H815 10b kdz but lose or have faint signal. So now I opened a thread asking for help backing up my modem(s). Perhaps safer to wait for possible kdz.
