The Korean LG Optimus G is now unlocked!
If you have a K, S or L varient, you are now fully unlocked!
Instructions
Please note: this requires root before you can install this! If you haven't rooted your phone yet, now is the time to do so.
As with all currently supported varients, we offer two methods of unlock. The first is connected to a computer. The second is through an apk. The apk cost ~1USD, and is a donation to us. The pc version of freegee is free and always will be free.
You can download the apk here. Else read below for instructions.
Also, ensure that you have ADB drivers installed. This WILL NOT WORK without them.
Before we begin: please make sure you have USB Debugging turned on, your phone is in "Charge Only" mode or MTP mode, and your phone's screen is on and unlocked.
This will allow you to see the root access prompt if your phone asks for it.
Download the .zip for your varient at the end of this post
Extract it somewhere on your hard drive
Ensure your screen is on and unlocked
Run the "freegee.bat" script, and follow the instructions.
Do not run this as administrator! the install will fail if you do so.
Once the unlock is complete, check to make sure you have a "backups" folder now in the folder where you put FreeGee. If not, DO NOT REBOOT your phone.
Even a failed unlock will still show the 'congratulations you're unlocked!' text, read the output to see if you have errors!
You should not see any "adb.exe not found" errors, or "tar: invalid magic" errors. Those would be errors in the script.
An error which you can ignore is "No space left on device" after it says erasing old recovery and boot. That's just a side effect of how we clear the old images out.

Important Information
To enter bootloader, hold volume UP and power.
Upon entering the bootloader, you will notice that there is no 'menu' to enter fastboot or recovery. Unfortunately, since the stars didn't align properly, we were unable to tell the new bootloader where to load the images that contain the menu from.
In light of that, you'll have to navigate the menu blind. Use the volume keys to change selection, and the power key to select.
The choices are (in order of pressing volume down):
Start - boot the phone normally [already selected]
Restart Bootloader - reboot into the bootloader
Recovery Mode - enter recovery (CWM)
Power Off - powers the phone off
So, to get to Recovery, you would press volume down twice then power.
If you have trouble with this, watch my video below for a demonstration.

FAQ
Can I flash an OTA after installing this?
No. Flashing an OTA could contain a new bootloader, and it would replace the one we have put on your device. If you flash the new OTA, and it replaces the bootloader but not the boot.img, you could be left in a situation where you could not boot the phone due to a security error. Once you're in that position, the only thing you can do is LGNPST back to stock-- and even then, it is possible that an OTA could enable an anti-rollback feature which would disable LGNPST.
Does this mean I can flash custom ROMs now?
Yes. However, the custom ROM must be made for your device. We're working on a decrapified stock ROM, and AOSP ROMs as well. Be patient for those to come.
How can I uninstall this?
We will be releasing a 0.6 verison soon with easy uninstall. In the mean time you can get on irc, and we'll help you, or you can use the apk in the play store.

Hi, just have a quick question about this method and support variants. Why you say Korean version L is that the L0-1E variant? Would be great if so.

Korean variants are F180L / F180K / F180S. L for LG U+ carrier, K for KT carrier, S for SK carrier. L0-1E is a Japanese variant that nobody seems to have a root process for atm.
Shelnutt2 said:
The Korean LG Optimus G is now unlocked!
We need some more testings for the S varient. There seems to be a slight hiccup with the S varient and before we release anything publically we need more testing. Please contact me on irc if you have an S varient.
If you have a K or L varient, you are now fully unlocked!

What carrier are you on? Sprint? If so you need to visit the sprint forums for the unlock.

Yes you can use that apk if you've convereted to E975 (this apk is just the same thats on the playstore plus E975 support). It'll give you twrp or cwm, but you should probably update to a newer cwm than what I have packaged. You'll be able to run jellybean with it.

I decided to give it a shot and installed the LG-F180S Variant
on my Bell E973.. I haven't played much with it. I took a few
screenshots and did a system dump . I installed all 3 and
dumped the system of S and L. Atm there is no root.
So, is there any info about these roms?

Thats the leaked 4.1.2 rom
With reference to testers no differences are noted
Seems zero boost on performance
Main change visually noted is the weather widget
Any screenshots?
Anyone try this please? Some screenshots ?:good:
I can try it. But you should explain what a hell is .kdz and how it can be installed first.

See here for the instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010624
Basically just download the kdz from above and:
2) Make sure you have LG United Drivers already installed, otherwise download from below
http://www.mediafire.com/?82nt1aeh04aqa3m
3) Download LG KDZ Updater
http://www.mediafire.com/?sj5y073xal03ntw
5) Put your Optimus G into Download Mode by switching it off, attaching the usb cable to the phone, holding both the up and down volume buttons at the same time and lastly inserting the usb cable into the computer; wait for the drivers to finish loading if doing it for the first time.
6) Unzip the downloaded updater zip file and run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe. Use the settings below
Type: 3GQCT
Phone Mode: CS_Emergency
KDZ file: navigate to the folder which you have saved the downloaded KDZ from the step (1)
Click Launch Software Update and wait for the flash process to finish
7) Your phone will restart itself when IParam = 90 is displayed and proceed slower until you see IParam=1 again (which signals the end of flash, you can safely exit the program then and remove the cable from the phone). If phone boots up normally, congrats, skip the steps below and proceed to use the phone as per normal.

Also you need to wipe /data. If you are unlocked you need to relock. After you flash it please hop on irc (freenode #lg-optimus-g), we'd like you to pull some images (boot, system)!

Is this build rootable?
I might try it out, got a couple more days of vacation to play around with it. We'll see.
Definitely leaked/ unofficial. I checked the LG .kdz server and it still shows F180L10p as the most current for my device.

Get on irc, we can root you there.
From the looks of all the screenshots I notice that none of them have a signal for phone/data....is it because of different network bands used in Korea?
Can someone pull the recovery partition from a device running the leak? We would like to test if the 3.4 kernel will run on a stock phone without any of the other firmware flashed to it.

Thanks but the dump is a little to small. I downloaded it and it seems to be corrupt. I think it needs to be around 700mb-800mb
Stroked from my Dirty Nocturnal'd Optimus G
you need a dump via adb? or another method? ill setup adb and flash it to get a new dump if needed
Hi everyone,
I really need your help, I need a tot file for F180K so that I could return to the official stock version.
So dump of me, I flashed KDZ to convert it to E975 but i don't get a network signal anymore. I flashed back to korean rom, f180k20g (jb version) but to no avail, still the same. If someone kindhearted would generously provide a tot file for this device, I would greatly appreciate it.
P.S.
Thanks to the guys at the forum, I learned a lot from you.

Hi,
I have the same problem with the mobile network. Now I try to download the new F180K201_00 and I'll flash it hoping that it helps....
But I have a copy of F180K10H_00 that suit you.
But a question. Did you try factory hard reset and wipe? Did you flash the right baseband?

Yes i tried factory hard reset only. I don't know how to wipe. I already tried F180K20G firmware but it is still not working. I haven't flashed any baseband because there is no available baseband img file yet for F180K. I already tried to flash anything from E97510a philippines or 10b HK version but still not working. I hope someone can provide a tot file so that we can boot back from scratch.
EDIT:
The only thing that I regretted is that I didn't back up the efs partition before I flash. If only I have learned about the freegee stuff earlier.

Yeah I tried it already but it's not working. Probably I need to erase everything first, CACHE and SYSTEM. How do I get to fastboot mode on the phone? Pressing Volume down + power only brings me to Factory Reset Mode.

Turn off phone. Press vol up+power.You will enter fastboot mode. Then press 2 times volume down and after that, press power. Voila, your phone will reboot in recovery mode.
OR you could install quickboot app from market and you will have advanced reboot menu.
Of course,there are many apps to do this,but quickboot is the most simple and it's free.
Rom toolbox,rom manager, titatium backup and so much more can do the same ....

One question,how did you unlocked the bootloader without freegee?we are not talking about nerwork/simlock. We are talking about bootloader.do you even know what is the bootloader and why is it locked?i see you ask alot of chaotic questions my friend and i advise you to stop.
Please start doing some reading on how an android device works,especially the G.then read about tweaking possibilities and read multiple times.make sure understand what you are reading amd only then you can attempt to try something.

dont understand u talking tome such horrble way ?!?! do u know me?
what u think who am I some stupid kid?
a bit of respect i would like to see from you ! OK?!?!
for first i flashing phones debranding repairing , replacing parts , soldering , etc ,,
And been CONFUSED from ALL phones because the way of modifying is all the way different ..
And I gathering info to properly find way how to sucesfully flash customized ROMS !
So be nice and dont abuse me with these kind of attack replies
Thnx !
Firstly ! If u so experienced how come u don't know how to root and unlock LG optimus G /F180L
I have F180L converted to E975 .. So I used KDZ's and other way to root device and replace baseband etc..
And now I want to try this ''so much ''adored'' ROM called CyanogenMod 10.1 ..
So now u know WHY I am asking ALL THIS !
Will be wery happy if I 'll get some support here ..
I haven't found here NOT EVEN ONE person only ignorants which are lazy to explain how to..
So I ALWAYS get it done BY MY SELF .. Useless. really ..
If you would've provide this info from the start, it would've been much easier, don't think?
And if you would've use the search function, you'd also find that it has been already discussed several times this matter.
Let's be serious, this section has not than many active threads in order to make difficult a search.
I'm not lazy to help someone,but i will never repeat same answers over and over.I'm not a robot.
And,like i said, you are asking chaotic questions.The guy who opened this thread asked for a E973.You asked for a F180 converted to E975.What do i must understand from this??

Let's be serious, this section has not than many active threads in order to make difficult a search.
I'm not lazy to help someone,but i will never repeat same answers over and over.I'm not a robot.
And,like i said, you are asking chaotic questions.The guy who opened this thread asked for a E973.You asked for a F180 converted to E975.What do i must understand from this??

E973 is the same as E975 ..
no it's not the same. why do you think they have another number? it's fun, or does any changes exists between 973 and 975?
Hey guys, i want to unlock with free gee but i'm a little nervous. Has anyone used this on 4.12? I get a warning about there being a chance of a bricking if your running JB. By the way, I'm rooted and I have an update pending, that's why i wanna install a recovery. Will i have any issues if I update? Besides losing root, i can only assume.
1.my answer was for eithos,who is very chaotic.
2. E973 has 8 or 13mpx camera?
3.there is no risc in bricking it.the dev placed that warning to be sure you know what you are doing.it's the same warning you get on op of rom thread.the devs are not responsable if anything goes wrong.no one is forcing you to do anything.
Conclusion,freegee is safe and it's working on jb without problem

so i just bought an lg g4 device in georgia (not the state the country) and the reseller told me that it is the korean version i have been reading the thread for rooting lg g4s and i couldn't find the file for my device which my device is LG-H815P then i also read that you can flash the existing file the h815 without the p and it will work fine hoewer there are multiple files for thhis model ex:german,european and etc
soo which one do i flash?
Please follow this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765
I have successfully used that method on my H815K (Australian Model) using img from thread above
can we use the guide for Android 6.0?
does rooting the device require an unlocked bootloader?

Nope not at all. I delete most stock apps as they are useless for me, (LG Backup, Airdrive, etc) No app crashes. Even installed Xposed. And i don't have an unlocked bootloader as my phone is not compatible to be unlocked hopefully soon though

The basic gist of it is:
1. Create an image of your system partition
2. Modify the image using a linux PC to add root
3. Write the modified image to your system partition
Or:
1. Download a system image someone else has already made
2. Write it to your system partiton
The modified image works without a bootloader unlock because the kernel itself isn't being modified.

Also do you know how to dump and modify the system image or can you link a tutorial that sound better than flashing an already modified image
I have the Aussie Version too, I'm super keen to try and root it this arvo, is it fairly straight forward?
Is Marshmallow rootable yet? Considering if I should upgrade my HKG H815T from LP to MM.

Unfortunatley as of now you can only root android 6 by unlocking the bootloader and that is not possible on your phone

I also have the LG G4 H815K, Just want to confirm which commands and Root files you downloaded, I'm currently downloading the International H815 10c Version and plan on using the international commands. (International H815 10c Version (NOT H815T, H815TR, H815P, etc - you will lose internationalization and possibly features)
Is that what you did?
Cheers in advance mate! :good:

I recently bought a sprint LG G7 for a really good deal since it was cracked from the back corner. I've been searching around it seems no one is able to unlock it yet.
I was wondering, could I unlock it if I flash the LMG-710EM kdz file from the European unlocked G7?
If not anyone know about how long it takes until someone finds a way to unlock it? It's just sitting there.
I don't think you can flash it if it's still locked and it's still not sure if other versions of the firmware would work on other models since the "EM" one is the only ones that's unlockable ( as far as I know).

I just have the phone sitting there. Waiting for someone to be able to unlock it.
I already tried to flash AWM (canadian rom) and EM rom. I am getting an error 0x81000302, Please use latest dll. Laf protocol version is not match. DLL = 115746384, device = 149688352.
So do you have any news about flashing or unlocking sprint LG G7?

There is a guy over at the LG v20 section that has cracked the laf partition stuff for that device, maybe he could possibly be of some assistance to this matter at least the knowledge behind it would be great. His name is @runningnak3d I do believe

I believe you need dll version v40 if it even exist you can try the v30 dll just replace the application and the model folder under your os/program files 86 /lg electronics /lgup something like that.
here is what i use for v30 and g6 it auto detects different model's try this and let us know if it works. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1prmqNlS_0pyElxnd9fTk32JVT5ym0dZ-?usp=sharing

Have you tried this? I dont think it will work because to cross flash the firmware you need to use dl partition if you use refurbish then it will throw an error?
Also in there comments someone said they got an error and phone brick so doesnt work for cross flashing only if its the same model number.
Is there any update on this?
Isn't it's possible to convert it on US version like it was done on V30?
