I was thinking of unlocking my Sprint LG og today, but received an update early morning.
Would it be okay to try unlocking or should I wait until further update by developers about freegee project?
I've posted the same question to freegee thread.
Another thing I noticed is on my Windows machine I probably don't have LG driver (my primary os is Linux and I rooted using my Ubuntu laptop) where can I find the Windows drivers?

Do not update to ZV9. Unlock and Root then flash the ZV9 or Lifeless ROM in Development. If you update you cannot root.
Checked software version and it has ZV8 at the end and I've already rooted the phone.
So I think as long as my software version does not end with ZV9 I can safely unlock, right?
In that case where can I get LG drivers for Windows or unlock method (freegee) for Linux? Thanks

just go to the lg site for the drivers and i suggest getting the freegee app for 1 dollar on the play store. easiest method and you get to choose your recovery method.
Awesome thanks a lot guys, I'll get freegee app
And I agree I didn't read a lot before posting but was mainly confused because of update

This phone was not rooted, htc upgraded it to 2.3 and I'm getting errors downgrading, and ideas?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
You need to provide more details...
1. By what means did you get it?
2. Did you root the phone?
3. Do you have a warranty?
4. What kind of error?
5. A screenshot perhaps?
Explain your problem more in detail, also I think this is the wrong section for that. check the general questions section.
cant downgrade 2.3, you are stuck on there till there is a new root for it sorry
You tried using a gold card to downgrade it?
When did T-Mobile send the upgrade
Also I think this is in the wrong section

Wrong section. You should either be posting in the QA section, or one of the root threads with the error you get.
When was gb released? My sister hasn't gotten it yet.

but is the OTA for gingerbread being pushed to those who arent rooted yet?
Got the phone on craigs list the previous owner sent it in for repair for hinge issue and got it back with 2.3. The phone isn't rooted. I like 2.3 but prefer my freedom. I'm at work and can't recall the error but I can push the files with adb but get the error when I run adb shell p.... I did the goldcard. I'm thinking I'm stuck, but ill give it another shot later

Meanwhile, those of us with root have had Gingerbread for a couple months now. If it's not available OTA, it's not officially available.

yup i have it too as well not a big deal, no its not OFFICIAILY OUT, but the Official stock rom is here to flash for those that want to try, this is the latest one and most likely gonna be pushed out.
as my sig shows i have one g2 rooted running cm7 and my other on stock gingerbread no root or s-off
as well this Leaked officail rom was able to fix those that had soft bricks and could not unbrick
and everyone knows to do that the roms have to be signed officialy by htc/tmobile
Ok, so I bought a pretty inexpensive pre-production model of the e973.
I have rooted the device, but before I move on to attempting anything that could result in a brick/hassle more easily I figured in should ask around.
I can't flash a custom recovery without disabling the security checks, correct? But to do that I need to tamper with the bootloader, which is probably different on this phone.
Can anyone help me and let me know what info I need from the phone to get answers?

Ok, so autoprime was very helpful on irc, and i just used lgnpst to flash the bell .tot on my phone and rooted it using motochopper, then unlocked the bootloader with freegee.
Pretty painless, really.

In the future always dump your boot loader first! Never know when its extra spicy.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I don't know how to start talking about this so here we go...
I tried updating OTA with my phone rooted. I never unlocked bootloader btw. In the midst of updating, I got the android laying flat on his back w/ the red triangle w/ the exclamation point in the middle. I freaked out and was bout to cry until my phone booted up. I never had that happen.
A few days later, I decided to unroot my phone and try updating again (because the constant popups were annoying) and same problem.
My last resort was factory resetting the phone and try the update...no dice.
So I need help.
1) How can I update when it just...won't let me. Another option is
2) How can I can turn off the pop up notification. I know how to turn off the status bar notification. Or a REALLY DRASTIC OPTION is
3) How do I unlock bootloader? I am terrified and would want proof but this method is if I am REALLY desperate.
If nothing works, I hope I can take my phone up to Sprint and exchange it for an HTC 8XT, since my phone is still worth something...I hope.
Thanks for people who respond and try to help me in advance
EDIT: Scrolling through forums I found someone who posted the same thread like mine so...you can do whatever you want to this thread.
I apologize.
Don't OTA it then. Download some ZVC rims in the Android development section..... I believe Mr.Nerdz ZVC is a stock rom with no tweaks what so ever. Dunno if it comes root or not and if not, rooting and unlocking is the same as ZVB

Then use the sbl unlock in FreeGee's menu.
Or LGNPST with teeny bins. Both unlock the same way, just with a different delivery.

Yeah. When I first have LGOG, I used freegee and soft brick as well. Then used teeny bin and was okay. The latest freegee helped me unlock and didn't soft brick on me in zvc when I manual update zvc thru lgpnst

May you send me a link of some sort. I have no idea what to do in LGNPST. I tried using it to unbrick device but my laptop was just not cooperating.

PMed yu bro. dunno if forum allow pastebin so i pmed u the guide check it out.
I wanted to find out if anyone thinks it would be useful to be able to root ICS and install CWM without having to downgrade to GINGERBREAD first? I have pulled the unlocked bootloader from the P936's v10i Rom and replaced the locked bootloader from ICS and install CWM Touch and therefore eliminating the need to unbrick your phone first. This includes either full stock or after a fresh install from v18f/v20x. This is done through ADB using a simple bat file.
So I just need to know:
1. Yes I think this is useful or
2. No this isn't useful.
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda app-developers app
1. Absolutely. I am on ICS and installing a recovery seems a pain in the ... Of course every easier method would be highly welcome.
Sent from my LG-P930 using Tapatalk
You cannot unlock the bootloader on ICS and you need an unlocked bootloader in order to install a custom recovery from what I have seen and read.
I saw in another post that someone was able to do and I would love to see a bat file that saves us the trouble of unbricking.

I found a way . Actually it more accurate to say that I found a way to push an unlocked boot loader that bypasses the lock. Fully tested. I will provide more details when I get the thread done. No unbricking needed.

Awesome. Do you know if this would work on a P935 as well or did you just try it on a P930?

Hey guys I'm on a stock 4.2.2 Verizon htc one and every time I run rumrunner I get a fatal error saying download updated package. Iknow I have downloaded the right one and I have all the prerequisites required idk why it's not working. Also I don't have the unlocked version. Am I screwed for getting new roms and even rooting? As of right now I'm not rooted I'm completely stock. I'd love to be steered in the right direction thanks guys

Rum runner was saying "fatal : please download updated package" but I realized 1) I wasn't using HTC cord that came with phone 2) I didn't have antivirus turned off. I only had firewall turned off (apparently you need both) 3) I was running Soju.exe off of my desktop which was a no go so I extracted rum runner to a folder on my desktop and ran as administrator then I was all set. After I flashed twrp through adb then acquired root and etc etc
