Convert to Nexus 4? - LG Optimus G (International)

I see on the At&t forum that they have a working hack to transform the Optimus G into the Nexus 4. Will it work on Canadian devices? (E971 Included)

i think it will not work.
maybe its not a good solution to convert it.
you can hard brick your phone.

They convert cause after that they can run nexus 4 roms. That is stupid cause all they need is to flash RPM/TZ from nexus 4 and they can boot nexus 4 kernel. This said, if you don't know what you are doing, don't do it. Also, converting our phone is stupid cause we can natively (supposing you didn't make the OTA) run nexus 4 kernel. There is things that doesnt work, but we have the source, that's basically how we got CM working on that phone. I'd recommand to not flash nexus 4 kernel unless you have modified the updater script. Most of the flash by partition number and not by partition name, resulting in flashing boot.img into the rpm partition of our phone. This is a permanent brick.

Would like some more feedback please. I read somewhere that there is no difference between the E971 and E970, can anyone confirm this?

E970 has micro sd slot and the phones physical dimensions are different. Plus their notification led is on the power button.

I dont care about the outter features. All Optimus G's have almost(?) the same internals.

Can't say for sure. However you can flash E973, E975, E977 and F180 roms on the E971 via kdz without issues. You can't do so on the E970. Someone in the AT&T section could probably explain what the difference is better. The Canadian models are 99% identical to international versions except for the fact that we have 8mp camera and they have 13mp.

I'm just waiting for my Optimus G E977 (brazilian model) to arrive. Does this model support the conversion to Nexus 4? Thanks in advance!

[REQUEST] Tweak names of Optimus 2X, G2X forums

I'd like to bring this thread to the attention of moderators:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136309
The name "Optimus 2x" has become ambiguous because it refers to two different models now:
In Europe and Asia: Optimus 2x = LG P990, with the LG UI customizations.
In Canada: Optimus 2x = LG P999, same device as T-mobile G2x, with the stock like UI. But they didn't call the G2x because T-mobile items that trademark.
There is already a thread in which a few Canadian users almost bricked their P999 by following P990 instructions.
Could we please do something to resolve this ambiguity? At the very least put the model numbers into the forum titles.
Rename LG Optimus 2x -> LG P990: Optimus 2x
Rename T-mobile G2x -> LG P999: T-mobile G2x & CDN Optimus 2x
That way everybody ends up in the right forum and nobody's phone gets bricked. Any thoughts?

I think you've answered one of my questions! I live in Canada and have the LG Optimux 2x (P999). Is it the same as the G2X?
I'm not sure which forum to search in (the LG Optimus 2x or the T-Mobile G2X)?
By seeing this:
"Rename T-mobile G2x -> LG P999: T-mobile G2x & CDN Optimus 2x"...
...I assume I have to look in the T-Mobile G2X forum if I want info about my phone and not the LG Optimux 2x forum, even though my phone is an LG?
Correct. The P999 means you look in the G2X forum.
Just to confuse things further, now Fido Canada has released the Optimus 2X as well but it's not the same device at all as the one on Wind. I believe it's a variant of the P990 with 850/1900/2100 3G. I don't yet know what the model number is. There's a chance that the baseband from both previously released variants could brick out.

Great, thank you so much for your reply!
I'm new to this. This is my first smartphone and I was confused between LG Optimux 2x, T-Mobile G2x, P990 and P999.
I know I have a P999 but it's a LG, not a T-Mobile, that's why I got confused.
I will now do my searches under the T-Mobile G2x forum.
I really hope the moderators will listen to your suggestion and change the forum names. It would help newbies like me!

Optimus 2X P990 (without hn) = European/Asian with 900/1900/2100 3G and LG interface
Optimus 2X P990hn = Fido Canada with 850/1900/2100 and LG interface
Optimus 2X P999 = Videotron & Mobilicity with AWS/2100 3G and stock-like interface
G2X P999 = T-Mobile with AWS/2100 3G and stock-like interface
I just bricked my fido p990hn...I tried flashing a new theme is there any way I can fix this? I used a p990 theme

Then you will have to find someone who took a backup of their stock Fido O2X. Anyway I see you started a thread in the O2X forum so I guess it should be addressed there not here.
Yes this definitely needs changing, there are a lot of P999 O2X's popping up in the P990 section.
Looks like someone's flashed their P999 O2X with some P990 stuff and it's not done it any good (no service).

Looks like you have been monitoring this. Could you do a favour a paste links here anytime a P999 O2x thread pops up in the O2x forum?
And please! Moderators, we need to get your attention! Is there a list of moderators for the Optimus 2X and G2x forums?

Right but what I meant is to paste into this thread, links to any threads that build up evidence that users are getting confused, to help make a case to the moderators.

urgent warning to Nitro HD P930 and Optimus LTE users

folks this is important and could save you your phone
there is a visual similarity between the Nitro HD P930 and a very similar looking phone, the Optimus LTE LU-6200.
there have been some questions in the forum over cross compatibility on the software. currently it isn't.
if you flash the wrong software to the wrong phone this could result in a brick.
please be aware and pick the right software?
regards
Chris
Thanks for your warning.
But i guess the P930 is the canadian Bell version, i have this ROM version from day one on my korean LU6200 device and it works.
I dont flash a Nitro HD ROM to my phone, because it could be a big problem (brick).
LU6200
SU640
Nitro HD (AT&T)
P930 (Bell)
Thats the devices i know at this time.
Someone figured out how to 'hack' the SU-640 GB ROM and port it to the LU-6200. Guess what, they are both Asian SKU's. We are referring to the ICS development ROM that was leaked in Asia a week or so ago. As of right now, no one has figured out a way to get it onto a North American P930. Until that time comes, don't assume that it will work.

Hi Chris, thank you for the warning to all the users, but if I may suggest, can you also sticky this warning in the General area, since most of the discussions seems to take place there.

Canadian Optimus LTE (BELL P930) has the same name as Optimus LTE (korean version) and yet hardware is the same as NitroHD
It is similar to the SU-640, not the LU-6200.
In canada its a P935
sent from LG OPTIMUS LTE using Tapatalk
ummmm actually in Canada its a " Bell Optimus LTE P930 " to be exact..
i would know as im holding mine in my hand to confirm this
From what I am hearing there are two versions of the same phone in canada depending on the carrier...I think bell is the p930 similar to the nitro hd and the su640
I think that another carrier came out with the p935 which is the same phone essentially...but stuff enough might be different to make it not compatible with what those of us with p930's have.
interesting cuz i thought this was the only one of its kind
but hey... all i know is LG has some nice hardware in this lil package, and id love to see some CM lovin for us.. otherwise, my plans to swap over to a galaxy nexus will still take place, that is once i can afford it... this damn LG sucked out $630 before tax's as i bought it outright then another $30 for unlocking
TELUS has the P935, while Bell has the P930. They are both related to the AT&T Nitro HD but with a slightly different baseband. The LU-6200 is a different animal all together. Different bootloader, different ROM, different baseband.
Does the AT&T version have any model number to go along with it or is it just known as Nitro HD? all the other ones have some tag along

The AT&T LG Nitro HD has the model number P930
the vs920.... verizon lg spectrum.. has different partitions.. and it can be bricked by flashing any other rom.. from what ive read on other forums..
And to top that off, the VS930 is coming to verizon soon.
how about the Japanese version LG Optimus LTE l01d is this model compatible with Nitro HD roms?

No.
Are the Nitro HD P936 roms/kernels/recoveries compatible with the Optimus True HD P936?
Um...
I'm confused out the ying yang. I have the Bell LG Optimus 4G LTE, and under my battery it says P930.
Do I flash Nitro HD P930 ROMs, or LG SU640 ROMs?
Thanks.

OPtimus g ls970

Hi, first thank you all. I come from HTCMania, "Spains` xda. My question is this.
In Spain we use GSM networks and wanted to know if all lg optimus g ,ls970 especially, comes with sim slot and if I could use here. I have read some of the gsm mod for ls970 but do not understand why, because it have sim slot
So if I unlock the phone and flash to european open rom it must be work?
Sorry for my english 50% google translator
Ls970 is for sprint carrier in us. In europe we have e975.
Sent from LG E975 pwd by CM 10.1
ok i know that, but if i buy ls970 and i unlock, it going to be functional in spain with our gsm?
Not so sure. What carrier are we talking about?Europe uses mostly 2600 mhz on LTE, sprint has 1900.So ,for start you will not be able to use 4G.
But why not get the E975?
Sprint Is CDMA. It's not going to work

LF E-970 screen cracked, compatibility LS970

Hi,
The screen of my AT&T LG E970 cracked. I can't find the replacement anywhere...
But I can find the replacement for others Optimus G, like:
LS970
E975
F180
Do you think they will work / fit?
Any help would be appreciated.
I think they are same. I just bought one ls970 screen and replaced on my E971 Rogers phone. Working well, no problem at all.

Thanks for your reply!!
I need to confirm the E971 uses the same assembly as the E970.
Anywhere I look it seems the E970 uses a complete different assembly. For instance check www.etradesupply.com, prices are different between E970 and E971, also if you check the LS970 with the E971 they also have different pricing! but you just confirmed they are the same...
Where did you bought the replacement?

Ok, it seems that the AT&T E970 is different in size and shape to the rest of the Optimus G (E971, E975, LS970, etc.)
That's probably the reason why the E971 LCD assembly will never fit on the E970, too bad!
"At 130.8 x 71.6 x 8.4 mm the AT&T branded Optimus G is slightly shorter and thinner, as well as significantly wider than its Sprint relative, which measures 131.9 x 68.9 x 8.5 mm. The two devices sport different measures
The Sprint version of the smartphone wins the weight battle with its 144.9 grams. Its AT&T sibling tips the scale at 147.1 grams."

LG G PRO Vesrion

Hello!
First of all, sorry for new topic, but I didn't want to BUMP all topics.
I need your help
I will order LG Optimus G PRO online.
They are offering F240 for 40$ lower than E980
As I was reading few posts on XDA i found out that F240(Korean version) will work fine in Europe after some modification to build.prop. (By work fine i mean 3G, LTE, and GSM(telephone)signal.)
Can you confirm this for me please.
Thanks!
Yeah you should be fine, my G Pro is originally an E986 (French Europe) and I'm running datphu's G3 Rom that turned it into an E988 (HK) lol
I get 4G and good signal as if I was on the stock rom. So yeah, I think you should try to install a custom rom, you're lucky, there are plenty of good ones that mimick LG G3
But keep in mind that the F models from Korea do have some problems with custom roms and carriers from other countries so be careful when you are getting these kind of offers.
