So a few weeks ago I purchased an Optimus G E973 here in Canada from a guy who had posted an ad on Kijiji. He claimed that his company had bought a bunch of Optimus Gs but ended up switching to Blackberry for their email system or something. The phone was brand new with the USB cable and outlet adapter, but no box was included. All of the protective stickers were still intact, but when I peeled the thin IMEI barcode sticker off the bottom right side, the plastic is engraved/stamped with *NOT FOR SALE*. The phone was "factory unlocked" and I had no issues activating it with Virgin. So does anyone have any idea why this engraving is there?
Now I have just decided to root but unfortunately using Bin4ry's root restore method does not work, as it just hangs at the "Running..." stage and never reboots. Heres some screenshots with software information that came on the phone:

}
Last thing I should mention is that when benchmarking I am getting a little lower scores than I should be. It seems like the processors is underclocked to ~1.2GHz? Heres some screens from AnTuTu:
So I hope someone might have some idea why it was stamped and if this is whats causing issues with rooting.
edit: sorry for image links I cannot post outside links with a new account
You have some kind of a display model
My guess is that it is running a modified software with extra security
After all Binary s root exploits a timing delay thru adb, which is probably patched in the firmware your phone is running
Note that binary s root method cannot be used on LG s latest firmware
Your best bet is to use KDZ and load the old stock firmware
Follow the guide for unblinking the phone found under general forums

I'm not sure but what I do know is that it was defnitely brand new and never used when I got it.
Now I am having a hell of a time reverting back to the stock firmware. LGMobile Support Tool says "Software update is not supported for this model", even though it recognizes the phone as an LGE973AT running E97310G. And when I tried using my IMEI with both the tool and url mentioned in this thread I still couldn't get any firmware from LG's servers. So I finally grabbed the Bell E97310F KDZ from this post, but when I try flashing it using the unbricking method the updater reports that it can't find the phone. Now I guess I am out of luck for now

Hey guys, any luck figuring this out?
My phone is doing the same thing. Just hanging after "restore my data" is pressed
I have the same phone rooted with unlocked bootloader. You have to downgrade from E97310g to E97310f, (mine came with E97310h Bell)
Direct Download link for Bell E97310f Kdz [E97310F_00.kdz] (915mb)
after used RootOptimusG-English.rar to root the device.
Then followed Project FreeGee to unlock the bootloader
hope this helps.

I have an unlocked E973 and I am using it with Virgin. The phone came with software version E97310g and I can't root using Bin4ry's method, so I need the original firmware. I have tried using the methods in the unbricking thread to download from LG's servers but unfortunately my IMEI will not work. So my question is does it matter whether I choose a telus or bell firmware? Will I have to SIM unlock the phone again after flashing the old firmware?
Hopefully someone can kindly provide an E973 IMEI or a mirror to the firmware I need. Thanks in advance!
Update:
I am going to try the stock bell firmware E97310f from this post. I guess I will just find out if it works with my Virgin SIM after I flash it.
Well no luck with the Bell firmware as the updater gives "PHONE NOT FOUND", whenever I try flashing. Guess I am out of luck . It's too bad cause this phone is pretty nice . Maybe I will trade for an S3.

Well don't I need a .tot to use LGNPST not a .kdz? Also the unbrick thread doesn't have instructions for using LGNPST .I have a Bell .tot but I haven't tried flashing it because some other e973 users reported it not working with LGNPST because of a .dll compatibility issue.
I have however already tried using the LG tool in that unbrick thread, but I can't get it to recognize my phone. Unfortunately I don't think it matters what .KDZ I have because the tool itself isn't working. Maybe I will just try LGNPST and see if it works for me.
update: So just tried using LGNPST and it doesn't recognize my phone either. I tried with the phone set to LG Software, with and without usb debugging, and I also tried with the phone in download mode. This is what it gives me:

Sure thing, lemme know if you have any trouble with it.. I may be able to lend a hand.. I've relied on reformatting my phone several times after performing a bunch of hacks which caused a variety of boot issues.
If the phone is not recognised in KDZ
You might need to install the XML parser. Just run the msxml.msi install before starting KDZ.
Hello,
came out a few days ago a new firmware, the "NEU / EUROPE OPEN V10H".
I installed it and I must say it is the best I've ever tried, On this firmware have improved the camera software, the photos are definitely better! Has anyone tried this firmware and can confirm?
Can you post Software version?
I believe that this update is 2 month old, there are other thread about this update.
When I got back my phone from LG assistance it came with 10H, but I cant confirm Software version because I'm using Epsilon ROM.

Well I can't see any difference from other firmware version its just some of the google apps were updated. Actually it was the same as 10H of hungary which I downloaded 2 months ago. I also downloaded Europe open 10H so I can confirm that it was the same. I extracted both firmware and its the same.

But I did not noticed anything new or improved.
The only differences I saw was about the google apps.
Market and hangout is updated. Also there is "Google games" (I dont remember the exact name It is chargng now ) added.
Nothing more.
Furthermore, freegee does not support V10J yet :/ I could not unlocked my bootlarder.
I have found G2 lock screen (Flashable ZIP) from a friend from vietnam. It was working perfectly at V10I, but know I cant unlock my bootloarder because of V10J So ı could not flash it agen.
Is there anything to unlock bootloader easily like freegee?

New India firmware V10f
New India firmware v10f rollout.
Hi all, I am new to XDA but have followed it for some time and successfully modified many devices. Last night, I discovered a tutorial to get fastboot enabled on the LG Volt (A Sprint phone). Feeling adventurous, I decided to follow it on the Verizon Lucid 3 (VS876) and I successfully got into fastboot and ran 'fastboot oem unlock' with a successful return message. I also ran 'fastboot oem device-info' and I have posted a picture below with the results, which are looking good!!! If this helps anyone for any potential development, that would be great because I bought this device with high hopes of getting Cyanogenmod but so far development is nonexistent. Here is the article I followed:
androidforums.com/threads/how-to-enable-fastboot-and-unlock-bootloader-no-flashing-needed-working.861226/

I could try to help however I can, for the most part you just have to follow that guide and it will unlock the bootloader. If you haven't rooted already you can root with Kingroot, available from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
You will need to do this before you can start doing any unlocking, although it is sort of pointless to unlock now because there are no ROMs made yet and I am not familiar with this type of coding, but I am going to try to learn.

Does the lg volt have any custom roms? because if the bootloader method really did work, and the lg volt and lg lucid 3 are supposed to be the same phone just differnt carriers, then shouldnt the lg volts roms work for the lg lucid 3 if there are any?

The volt does seem to have custom roms, however they are not necessarily the same phone, they are just set up the same. I noticed the guide for the volt says that you have to delete the partition for Download Mode which causes the phone to panic and go into fastboot, and it just so happens I was lucky and found out the Lucid 3 is set up the same way and I was able to unlock it this way. There would be too many complications, like verizon using a different cell modem than sprint or who knows what else. I'll keep you posted if anything happens. At the moment, it's too complicated for me to go any further without a whole lot of learning, so hope exists for Lucid 3 owners, maybe
More great news guys! The LG Volt's recovery (TWRP 2.8.1.0) boots and operates on this phone! I flashed it using fastboot and it is working with touch and I am also able to browse my files in TWRP, which leads me to believe these phones are nearly identical. I am in the process of taking photos of this in action if anyone cares to see them I will be happy to show them.
Lastly, I tried flashing a rom from the volt and got stuck at the boot logo for cyanogenmod. So close! Thankfully I made a full backup in twrp which restored perfectly but this proves the phone can be flashed successfully!
Well, I have decided to jump ship to the LG G2 for my modding needs but I hope someone finds a use for my tinkering, thanks for reading everyone!!!

Some times this can happen due to incompatibility of LG flash tool. You may need to try the same process on a pc running different Windows (Windows 7 32 bit will be great).
If you still have no result then you can also try the process with LGUP tool.

You shouldn't have to use the guide I first posted since your phone is recognized. If you flashed wrong rom with the lgtool will report that model which is incorrect. Take off the battery cover and look around the phone so you have the correct model for your phone and download that kdz. You can use this guide to help. Use the first part.

Unfortunately I opened up my phone and found that my board is replaced with D850. So i flashed D850 tot file.
For you , just flash Europe . If it ends in success.You have flashed the correct tot file. for FM, try to find that your hardware is in working condition.Otherwise just go without FM.

Howdy y'all,
I got a LG K10 (K425 at&t USA) from a friend of mine and unlocked it to use on t-mobile. I went to tether it today and got an authorization error. I decided I wanted to root it, get rid of all of the at&t bloatware still on it and get the tethering and mobile hotspot working. My question is twofold:
1) Is there just a standard, carrier neutral, stock ROM for this device? If I want to get rid of carrier bloatware I don't want to just throw another carrier's bloatware on it.
2) Has anyone had any success rooting this phone? I have tried "adb reboot bootloader", LGUP in download mode, and LG Flash Tool to no avail. I have rooted other devices before, some were more troublesome than others, but this one is stumping me. Any suggestions?
Thank you!

I've been wondering the same thing as of recently. I got this phone a couple of days ago, and even after looking around here and other forums for a few days, I can't find any concrete evidence that you can root it, or put a custom rom on it.

Currently, at&t and their bull crap bootloader's won't allow root. Although user pvineeth97 has done great work on other models, he does not have a device for extracting the aboot in order to successfully crate root

Damnit... I certainly hope we get root or an unlocked bootloader soon! I mean, I like what LG's done, I'd just much rather be using stock, or at the very least, a rom that doesn't include all of the AT&T bloatware.

Howdy y'all,
I got a LG K10 (K425 at&t USA) from a friend of mine and unlocked it to use on t-mobile. I went to tether it today and got an authorization error. I decided I wanted to root it, get rid of all of the at&t bloatware still on it and get the tethering and mobile hotspot working. My question is twofold:
1) Is there just a standard, carrier neutral, stock ROM for this device? If I want to get rid of carrier bloatware I don't want to just throw another carrier's bloatware on it.
2) Has anyone had any success rooting this phone? I have tried "adb reboot bootloader", LGUP in download mode, and LG Flash Tool to no avail. I have rooted other devices before, some were more troublesome than others, but this one is stumping me. Any suggestions?
Thank you!

I don't own a AT&T K10. I have a carrier neutral K10. Till now we have bootloader unlock, root, TWRP and custom ROM (Coming Soon!) for T-Mobile/MetroPCS. Do you have Android 5.1.1 firmware for your phone. We could do something about it if we have the firmware

I was researching the same topic (where to get K425 ROM that I can root OR downgrade to 5.1) and found the following link:
http://giaiphapdidong.net/san-pham/lg-k10-k425-att-rom-userdebug-v09a-v07a-rooted/
It is in a foreign language, but with google translator I was able to understand that this site provides two rooted firmwares for AT&T K425. Unfortunately, when you download the .TOT files you see that the archive is passworded.
Anyone else tried those files?
