I have a 973 and just did the ota to jelly bean today. Im rooted. Used the feegee app from the play store and now it gets stuck at the lg logo. I cant enter recovery. Apologies if i missed a post explaining this somewhere else.....
Shelnutt is working on it. In the meantime you may have to KDZ back for it today boot.

Do the 20h JB. That was your OTA. http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=20

Awesome, thanks. Now to find a kdz tutorial........

Since going through the unbrick method, my phone will not accept the OTA updates and I'm stuck at V10f. Using the LG Mobile Support Tool straight off LG's website, it says I have the latest software.
I really need to get it back to v10i or v10j. How can I do it manually and stay unrooted?

Thanks. I found this post here. I'm assuming it's probably the same method for an ATT P930, right?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22024300&postcount=11
Also, where can I find the V10i or V10j kdz file at?
When I update to Jellybean 4.2 on Houston's or CarbonRom I just get a black screen after a split second of the LG boot logo and won't boot. I've been using CWM 14.4.7 to flash the Rom's. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I can flash 4.1.2 ok just not 4.2. Any ideas?
What model do you have?
You have to downgrade to initial version of ICS and go from there. The newer ICS ota doesn't let you boot non stock roms.

I have an E973, I will try downgrading. Though I did manage to upgrade to 4.1.2

This is so important. 90% of problems I've read about were caused by this. How can we make this common knowledge?

Yeah it would be nice if it was mentioned in the developer area.
So do I have to go back to stock with the .tot file in the stock Roms thread or is there a flashable .zip somewhere? Seems the .zip files say custom stock rom from what I can see.

Go here and get the oldest ICS kdz and flash it: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?mod=Lg+Optimus+G&paese=Tutti&id_mod=20
You will need the KDZ updater which can be found in one of the guide threads here.
LG Optimus G E971/3/5
So i tried the KDZ method and just got stuck in a boot loop. Then I tried the tot method with LGNPST and same thing. My phone just hangs at the LG logo. What now? Followed the instructions to a T.
I got it, I went back and did the KDZ method a second time and then I found that if you hold down and power you get to do a hard reset. Did that and the clouds parted and the sun came through!
Update: Could't root because I couldn't find a kdz file old enough. So I used the LGNPST to do another restore and it worked this time. I did this to get me back to the LGE97310E so that I could get it to Root. Got the .tot file in this section of the forum.
I am in the same boat with my Telus E973. No matter what - black screen.
I reset the phone to the initial ICS (KDZ file from the link mentioned here.)
Got the phone to boot fine
Root
Unlock with FreeGee
Install latest CWM
Do a backup
From this point on I cannot install ANY custom ROM. Always black screen.
Phone boots fine after restoring of backup.
I have several phones and this LG is proving to be a little PITA.
Other ideas?
Which version of KDZ did you flash to get back to stock?

For KDZ the oldest Telus one I could find is 10g which as it turns out is too new! I ended up flashing 10e with LGNPST. All good now
Yeah that is the same thing I had to do. Couldn't find an old KDZ file anywhere for Telus.

There is no 973 10e available on that site. Oldest one is 10f which is already too new. This is why many people are so confused and the whole process is actually rather simple.

Whats the details on your phone?
Model/Carrier/Original Stock Firmware before any modding?
Have any of you tried using the following method?
"htt p://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEIHERE"
Replace IMEIHERE with the imei of your phone.
It will spit some url with the latest KDZ file. For example in my case, it's the H version. "htt p://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGE973/ABLMBK/E97320H_00/E97320H_00.kdz"
and I needed the F version. Playing with the url, I got it at "htt p://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGE973/ABLMBK/E97310F_00/E97310F_00.kdz"
---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------
I just saw the one for your phone from the website posted above by Elisha. The url is "htt p://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGE973/ATLSBK/E97310G_00/E97310G_00.kdz" -> by replacing the G to E I was able to get a file: "ht tp://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGE973/ATLSBK/E97310E_00/E97310E_00.kdz"
notice the TLS (Telus?) replacing the BLM (Im from bell mobility?) compared to my url posted before.

As stated above you're going to need to backdate to an earlier firmware version, where you are at H you need E version kdz file to get to ICS before going to 4.2.2 based builds...
Try what Iv4n35 said above in post 17 with your IMEI.
I will tell you how I flashed my E973 from Bell with the "[ROM] *Unofficial* AOKP 4.2.2 [Mar-13-13]" by Haze028 in case you need it any time.
This steps are gathered from all around this website so I take no credit at all.
Backup all your files, you might loose them in the process.
Downloaded the KDZ stock version that BELL shipped with LGOG (E97310f) htt p://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGE973/ABLMBK/E97310F_00/E97310F_00.kdz
Followed this instructions to flash the KDZ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34558759&postcount=1
Used this root kit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38014504&postcount=20 and instructions to root
Installed freegee, backed up EFS (just in case), extracted it from /sdcard/freegee to a safe place in my computer.
Run freegee, "Unlock my Optimus G", I chosed CWM
Downloaded the zip from http://d-h.st/M6N of a newer CWM recovery.
Downloaded the "Build 6" and "Gapps03-01-13" from the Download box from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36682883&postcount=1
Uploaded them to the internal sd card of my phone from my computer (total of 3 zip files: cwm recovery, rom and gapps).
Reboot in recovery mode (Vol Up + Power button)
"Install zip from sdcard", selected the newer CWM in my phone, reboot system in recovery mode again (the new CWM will show up)
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
"Install from zip" and select aokp-31313-geeb.zip (this is the Build 6)
"Install from zip" and select gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip (this are the Google apps).
Reboot system
Enjoy
Maybe there are some steps that didn't need to be done there, I'm actually new with flashing but it's what I understood I had to do. And in the end those steps worked perfectly for me.
Hi,

Now go to Play Store and download FreeGee
Make a backup of your EFS data and Unlock the bootloadr (choose CWM as the recovery option).
Once done, you reboot as you described. When you see the text in the lower left corner, press volume down twice and then power. You will boot into CWM.

The market FreeGee is only for ICS I believe. You need the FreeGee Beta to unlock the E975.

update my F180L, thanks
Thanks for this one. I was able to update my F180L very easily with this one ( it was converted to a E975 4.1.2 ).
All I had to do was install these 2 zips here plus the KK modem patch one which I'll post again here ( it's post somewhere else too if you look around ) :
http://www2.zippyshare.com/v/48224166/file.html
Pretty easy and straightforward way of converting but I'm not sure it works if your F180L wasn't converted before. Mine was however and this worked just fine.
i have a rooted f180k.i already unlocked the bootloader with freegee, however i cannot find any compatible custom recovery,eg cwm. how can i install e975 european rom on my phone? please explain im new to android
lol, enter the download mode -> flash E975.kdz -> Profit
You dont need root, custom recovery or unlocked bootloader for this.
FreeGee installs a recovery.
why you would Flash a KDZ which is not for your Phone?
flashing e975 kdz to f180l is possible but be reminded that your network signal may become problematic like my phone, im still stuck with ics 4.0.4 because whenever i update to f180l 4.1.2 via ota my network signal is lost, already tried flashing e975 rom and f180l baseband but to no avail..

Not sure if you made a typing error, but the 4.1.2 kdz is 10H, not 20va. There is another flasher available somewhere in the general forum, i think its called something like 'lg kdz flasher 2014'. If you can't find it, I'll link you to it.

thats the flasher ive used.. maybe your right sir.. ill find the 10H first.. thank you
does the 20h is compatible if i flash the artmod rom sir?? i have a 10f before with unlocked bootloader but unable to flash custom rom that has been made from 20a. will it work sir?
I'll upload it to somewhere and link you as soon as I wake up
EDIT: Just seen your edit lol, find the E97510H.kdz and use that. Just to make sure, use this flasher: http://www77.zippyshare.com/v/71932497/file.html and make sure CDMA is selected, your phone is in emergency mode and PhoneMode is CS_EMERGENCY, plus, do a CSE flash, not a NORMAL flash. I have to disable my internet to use this, make sure you do that. Good Luck.

Sir... what is the base of your optimus G? is that 10H also?? i really wanted to try custom rom for a change.. thank you
By base do you mean operating system it came with? If so yes, it came with jelly bean, French 4.1.2 since it came from there for some reason. Anyway its fine to restore to 4.1.2, just download framaroot from a thread here at xda and use freegee from the play store.
