Hi Brahmnoor,
I am now having an E975 with Singapore (STL) V10c.
Having tried many methods and still cannot get it rooted.
So, can you please send your E975 root tool to my email?
Internel provider here has blocked many file hosting websites and I can't access mediafire these days.
My email is [email protected]
Thanks and Best Regards!

Only 10a is rootable, the others have been blocked by LG so we have to wait for a new way to do it.
If you can find the KDZ for 10a you can downgrade and root.

The ZVB method in the Sprint forum works on 10b, so just use that if root didn't stick.
I´m on 10b software and have also tried the TUT in Sprint forum without luck? Did someone manage to root 10b?

Did you try any other method before so you maybe have an old G_security file laying on you sdcard?
Also in the script it says
adb shell "echo -en \\x0d > /sdcard/G_security"
And not
adb shell touch /sdcard/G_security

I Will look into it. Sounds possible.
Edit: Big thanks to wargreymon89. I did try one or two methods before trying the sprint one. It didn´t occur to me that I had this G_security file floating around and that it was "bad". All I had to do was delete this file and run the ZV9-ZVB-Root tool again, and...Viola!
Dunno what I should do without xda. Saved me a lot of trouble

I can confirm that this methode work for me with the E97510B EUR version on mine Optimus G F180L and after this I could install the BasebandL (for my F180L), each model had his own baseband file/tool.
I used first the Wipe tool, then the flash tool to install the E97510B then the root tool as above and the the baseband, everything work fine.

Take a root guide? Yes, thats why we put them on the internet, to learn and to share.
But I tried before the fiddy619, but it didn't work for my on the E97510B version, maybe it work for the E97510A, I don't know.
But when you edit the file CurrentRoot.bat file and change the line "adb shell touch /sdcard/G_security to"
"adb shell "echo -en \\x0d > /sdcard/G_security" " and save the file and use it, then you can root a E975B version.

I've got an LG Optimus M with 2.2.1 on it. I've read the post on the android forum (I can't post a link here since I'm new)...
And I'll be VERY honest... I think it may be over my head. If there is anyone here that help "hand hold" (remote desktop, or other)... let me know. I'd be happy to PayPal some funds for your time. All I know is I need all this "extra" crap off my phone!
Thanks In Advance!

Did you read this tutorial: rootd0wn.wordpress DOT com/2011/04/05/rooting-optimus-m-2-2-1/
found here androidforums DOT com/optimus-m-all-things-root/312657-how-root-optimus-m-2-2-1-a.html
Replace "DOT com" with ".com"
Root using SuperOneClick, ADB and other software tools
Did any one try this?
http://forum.androidcentral.com/optimus-v-rooting-roms-hacks/57485-how-root-lg-optimus-v.html
You may need to create your user id / password to see all the links. LG Optimus V is very same as LG Optimus M. The above Root Method for LG Optimus V should work for LG Optimus M too. The above root works well on Android 2.2.2 (No need to downgrade to 2.2.1).
Also, please refer to following:
No need to download and install Android SDK for ADB.
We need only 3 files for ADB to work (if we are not doing any Android programming/development and are using ADB to Root/Mod the phone).
adb.exe or adb
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
Down load this - SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse.zip and it contains software components needed for running ADB Tool successfully.

You need windows xp for upgrade software to work. You can use VMWARE and make a virtual machine and install dirvers and etc on it.

For me, you don't need to have a windows xp OS on your PC neither the Virtual one. You just need to 1.} right click on the program for flashing then 2.) click on properties then 3.) set the compatibility to Windows XP XP3. 4.) Then click Apply It then 5.) Run Again. Wooolaaaa... You're set and done....

Even the softwares and files are not really created by him so don't even get afraid of him. It's the moderator that will decide to delete this or not.

I'm not like the others who just add apks to already built roms and claims they compiled their own roms from scratch.

How many times will I tell you that I do not own those files and the tutorial? Do you know how to back read? You're the one that keeps on insisting sir. Have you checked the files yourself sir? The tutorial came from gfan and thinte and I converted them to english to be more understandable for all users and compiled them for winxp and win7 users. The tutorial on the first page is the english tutorial I made. And did I asked for the thread starter to give credits to me? NO! Lahat ng nababasa mo sa first page at sa compiled pdf tutorial ay english version na gawa ko. Pati ang rooting tool at cwm combined na application ay program ko. Nakakaintindi ka ba sir? I told him to delete the thread cause I know I have the right and it's my own english tutorial cause other users from tipidcp are very rude and indecent. But I already told him thats its fine to reupload the files and keep the tutorial as is. Have you read any post from me making myself excellent or outstanding? Yes this site is made for sharing and not asking for donations.
Let us not make this a big deal. Kababayan pa naman kita.
It's true he has the right to ask for deletion. He created a software for easy rooting and injecting cwm. I just shared it here, if you looked at the original thread you'll see a lot of stupid replies. And i think thats why he's being protected. In fact i would've deleted this thread already if I checked my inbox a week ago. Im so thankful he changed his mind. This thread is for helping people.
He bring back and updated the thread on tipidcp. Will update here too pretty soon. I just dont have my laptop.
Well then, thank you for allowing him to retain this thread. That's All...
Hi everybody! Just today I bought this fone and found this tutorial really helpfull and easy. Everything was done smoothly but my fone failed to boot into recovery.

Edit: I also tried this after battery pull but without luck.
Well I reflashed and this time it worked

would flashing the firmware found on the first page- LU620166_00.kdz- allow you to use DMB TV and keep root/CWM/have everything working as it should (eg working SMS)?
in other words, is that firmware considered a ROM based on stock FW or would flashing that file be the same as going through an official update (ie is flashing that file the same as unrooting it)?

Good afternoon.
I come with the illusion that any developer can help users of LG P870, I wonder if someone could develop a way to install ClockworkMod recovery as custon able to use unofficial roms, and I am desperate for waiting to come out some method to free once and for all this great phone, the phone is becoming popular because it is inexpensive and is being distributed in the U.S. by AT&T and Telcel Mexico, please support us to all of us that we have this phone.
To add a little, this phone already has root method Bin4ry with a restore script via adb.
I would love for this phone to get unlocked with CWM. It's an amazing phone. We just need to pull everyone together that has one and get them on here until someone can help. I appreciate all of the devs on here and I hope we can get something going on this awesome phone.
Ditto.
Jelly Beans.... Optimus F5 has it. Escape is the same phone. Guess we wait. Hopefully, not as long like Optimus 3D/Thrill.
Disappointing
send an email to LG for a response on whether there would be an early upgrade of our model to Jelly Bean or at least unlocking the bootloader and this was his response:
Thank you for your interest about our mobile phone.
“We received your request on LG Open Source Code Distribution site(http://opensource.lge.com).
This site is just for providing source codes of FOSS(Free and Open Source Software) we have used in our product.”
We don’t have any detailed information about LGP870’s boot loader unlock.
If there is any news, LG will announce officially.
Please wait for more times.
We hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
simply a misfortune I regret having bought this phone from LG
No support
I contacted LG open source and the person that emailed me back said that the escape doesn't support bootloader unlocking.

Has there been any development on P870 so far? At least is there a way to get unbloated version of stock firmware or change the language of the OS?
It would be cool if there is at least a list of stuff we can safely get rid of? Or can we try to get a different version to remove all the crapware AT&T pre-loaded?
Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, there has been no further development. I love this phone, but the lack of support is slowly making me go for either the optimus g or g2. Also as far as I know, there is no list. Its just trial and error I guess. I've personally tried to remove some stuff, but after a reboot it says security error. So certain things will cause a security error while others will be just fine. Btw, the only way (that I know of) to fix a security error is to use the lg support tool to recover your phone.

Its just trial and error I guess. I've personally tried to remove some stuff, but after a reboot it says security error. So certain things will cause a security error while others will be just fine. Btw, the only way (that I know of) to fix a security error is to use the lg support tool to recover your phone.

I see you are still using the device, any specific complaints about the software or the bloatware? Or are they just sitting there chilling until you actually run them? I know T-Mo had a bunch that were constantly running like T-Mo back up, My T-Mo, etc.. After the security error, was it a total restore/recovery or was it not destructive recovery? Sorry, I am not familiar with LG at all, coming from T-679 which was extremely flexible, this is a bit puzzling.
How about language, anyway to switch the language of the OS to something like German?

This is the same issue I am having is that it is coming up with that security error thing. I got into download mode and got the lg update program and every time it keeps stopping telling me to unplug and take out the battery and stuff. Just keeps doing it. Is there another way or is there something I am missing?
HELP PLEASE

Try putting your phone in download mode before using the lg support tool. That normally helps for me. Make sure you choose upgrade recovery in the options tab.

They don't run in the background unless you update them and set them up. I keep all the updates uninstalled and disable auto update so i don't have to worry about them. And yes it is a total recovery. Nothing is saved unless it is on your sim card or sd card. You can change the system language, but I don't see a german option. You might be able to download a language pack from the play store. I'll check into it and let you know.
P.S. sorry for the late reply..
Thanks! I am looking for German and Turkish.
Also I was browsing and saw this topic where they state we can update this to latest version:

Cwm recovery for the escape is finally here!!! The guy who made it also made a custom rom. I installed it and tested it. So far everything works (I don't use Bluetooth so I haven't tested that yet).

I went to try to install the recovery and rom. First question is, I skipped the driver install and rooting my phone because I am already rooted using motochopper. The f5_touch_ recovery.apk I was told to run does nothing? I tried extracting it and it swill doesn't run or bring anything up? Do I need a program to run this file or is it because I didn't use the method included to root? Then if that is the case and i'm successful at the recovery. What do I need to do to install the Rom?Please help ASAP! I have the recovery and ROM downloaded and saved waiting to install! Been waiting to do this forever so please help! THanks sooo much!
hi all-
Can anyone tell me if there is a hardware difference in the radios of NA/EUR models of the LG G3 such as the D855/852/850? Is it possible to change radio band support by flashing a different radio or other mods? I recall that this was possible with the Nexus4, to enable LTE support when the stock phone had it disabled. Could you flash a different radio baseband package to enable AWS on a D850/852, or additional LTE bands on a D855? I have a Bell D852 that I'd like to be able to use effectively on Wind, or T-Mobile in the US but obviously it doesn't support all of their frequency bands.
[update 11-18-2014] I've changed the title to reflect that editing G3 radio bands appears to be possible, user JustLiveIt has done so with a D855, but we do not have full details yet. Much more testing with different models besides the D855 is required!
Hi,
I am interested to know the answer to this for the reason you just gave, as well as myself having issues with low signal area performance.
If you find out the answer, please share it.
Cheers,
Maybe a better or more precise question would be; do the G3 models have a baseband radio package that is flashable separate from the existing ROMs? Can someone familiar with the previous LGOG->N4 conversions and the process to turn on the N4 LTE radio define what is necessary in this phone?
Simply put: this sort of thing clearly has been possible before with older LG models like making the Optimus G (E970/973) compatible with Nexus4 ROMs due to having common components. And logistically/economically it's in a manufacturers interest to keep the highest commonality of components for economies of scale in manufacturing. So logically- the various G3 models should use as few different hardware parts as possible, and differences should be defined in software as much as possible.
Has anyone tried this Qualcomm SoC dev mode hack on the D850 or D852? JustLiveIt has done testing on a D855 only so far. This thread seems to indicate that any and all GSM bands could be enabled on any current Qualcomm SoC.
Any D850, D852. D851, F460, etc users who feel lucky.. please give this radio edit a try and let us know!
Does anyone have the specific instruction set for LG phones or the G3 in particular? I have tried sending PMs to the LG users in the Qualcomm unlock thread but still no reply.
D852 sitting idle, awaiting some LG-specific instructions. I'm willing to do some testing and provide feedback, I just need a guide on testing with the G3, everyone else in the Qualcomm thread is either Sony or HTC users it seems. And neither of the users working with LG phones in that thread have responded in a week..
I got a reply back from JustLiveIt on Wednesday, unfortunately he has been offline while moving from the US overseas, so he will try to provide his radio details to-date on the D855 as soon as he is able. :good:
It's easy on LG phone...I have tested on G2 CloudyG3 (I just bought new G2 so far )
1.Install LG United driver
2.Require root
3.Turn on USB Debugging and switch to MTP mode
4. Connect the phone to PC and open terminal
5. Type this
adb shell
su
echo 1> / sys / devices / platform / lg_diag_cmd / diag_enable
setprop sys.usb.config acm, diag, mtp, adb

6. After that check your Device manager, this will show up "Ports (LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (ComXX))" ComXX is any number
7. Now you can do anything, play with it....

Can you check that in your rom there is /sys/devices/platform/lg_diag_cmd folder? Use any file manager apps to do this...
Also if you running custom ROM, maybe the ROM author remove it. Try to flash stock ROM and try again.....

I checked and there is no such folder i was using a custom rom cloudy2.1, then I restored back to the original stock ROM and there is no such folder either

That's weird...No comment...
So what can we do to re-add or load the necessary files on a Lollipop ROM? OR do we need to flash back to a stock Kitkat build? Does anyone who actually knows anything ever read these threads??
---
I've only been looking and asking for help and information for FOUR MONTHS in the G3 forums and the Qualcomm chipset thread and noone has provided any tangible information for the G3 phones, ever. I said right from the start I was willing to use my D852 to test and provide feedback, noone could even be bothered to reply. I asked people who claimed they'd had success with other G3 models, they provided nothing. This is why people hate on XDA- because it's full of useless posers who can't do anything except rehash files written or edited by others and take their credit. LOL ROMz!1one!!wan But ask for something original and useful to edit the hardware? Complete silence. Guess I may as well just sell my 852 and go buy an 851 on eBay, at least it will have what I wanted out of the box, for only $500.
Enabling LTE bands on LG VS985

Hi Enigmafied-
can you follow up here, or preferably here with the details on how you have edited the G3 radio bands? I have been looking for a set of instructions for testing this with a D852 for months with no reply from anyone..
I wanted to test access to the AWS bands for HSPA and LTE with Wind and T-Mobile on a Bell-sourced D852.

I unlocked some others LTE bands on VS985, I tried other tips from Sony Xperia forum with no success and now just with hiddenmenu it work, for that:
1. Download Shortcut Master (lite) from play store
2. Top right -> App Explorer ->Verizon Hidden Menu
3. go to -> LTEBandSelection tap and select Launch
4. Now choose all Bands and Save and reboot
Need ROOT

Sorry, this is actually just the LG service menu accessible on any stock ROM LG phone with the standard 3845# code.. It is not really unlocking or enabling anything that wasn't already available from your provider. In fact this is pretty clearly an LG service code testing hook as this works on the stock ROM, but does not work at all on a Lollipop ROM such as Candy5. 3845# doesn't work there either.
Has anyone gotten this to work?
I have a d851 on t-mobile in the us and want to try to enable band 12 for lte
Glad that this treat is revoked again and sorry that there still is no usefully info about some interesting questions, specifically about hardware ( also regardless to ^^^post#15), would like to provide some personal update and experience past couple mounts with mine d851 model that i don't want to give up, since where i am, accordingly to lte i need bands 3 and 20, which d851 officially doesn't have them.
I did try every info that was find on net, was do a every idea that i can thing of (lacky me phone survive after couple serious crashes ), what from i know fore sure in editing android or it was hit and miss, try and error, restrictions of free (read demo) softwares, pagans magic and voodoo zens, etc etc... all i can say that i didn't succeed in enabling 3 and 20 bands and still looking for answers.
Also have a question: is it possible to change some hardware part (radio, modem, soc, whatever) and from d851 to transform in d855/d850/bands 3,20, and supporting it with appropriate software (kernel, baseband, whatever)?
I got it working.
working with qxdm not in a band 12 area dont know if it worked but settings sticking from boot.
You need to set the selinux to permissive then run from a su adb prompt
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/lg_diag_cmd/diag_enable
setprop sys.usb.config acm,diag,mtp,adb
I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059 but the only addition was using this to change selinux to permissive http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524485

Costs money (I think $10) from the following site: http://www.lgbbs.com:41/thread-838-1-1.html. No idea if it's real or works. They have the .DLL to use with it on there to buy, too. You might be able to use the .DLL from the extracted 22B .KDZ instead.
I've fixed QHSUSB_BULK on my VS985 twice but haven't had that on the VK810 yet.
My memory might be faulty but I remember you used the necessary tool to extract the partition images from the .TOT. I wondered at the time if it's possible to use the extracted images from a KDZ instead. I doubt if it would hurt to try.
I would try the partitions from the 11A KDZ. I have all the KDZs in the link in my signature below. I use the program on Windows to extract KDZs from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575.
I uploaded the partition images for 11A, same place as the KDZs etc, link in my signature below.

Hi! No one's made the TOT easily available. There's a Chinese website I link to in the second post, above, that sells it. I think it takes $10 U.S. to get enough credits to buy it. See the second post for the rest of the details.
No idea if it's real.
The link to buy it now says two people have purchased it - only one had bought it when I had looked before. Still, nobody seems to be sharing.

Awesome news for those who most desperately need it! Thanks for buying it and sharing! Did you just use it with the LG .DLL extracted from the 22B KDZ?
Do you mind if I upload it to Android File Host and add it to my KDZ/OTA/IMG thread, and of course give you credit in the first post? I'd like to your post in this thread too.
Also, I'd like to put an announcement in the General section since this is very big news to those who don't have any other option.
THANKS!
