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..

i used freegee to unlock my bootloader apparently. my phone was working fine until last night when i was oncall, my battery died and when i plugged in the phone it just got stuck at the LG boot logo and would not boot into android. I managed to get the phone into download mode. what do i do now?

the links for the official kdz for korean optimus g in forum not working. i need the f180k version. i saw in the freegee folder it made several backups in the form of .img files. One of which is recovery, can i flash that? if so how?

same here.. tried everything and nothing..
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.
LG Optimus G E971/3/5
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.
I unlocked bootloader with freegee and accidently formated data so backup is also removed, now LGOG is runing fine with custom room but I want to get back to stock room, tried many many kdz but no sucess kdz updater gives error wparam100 etc.
I need stock system.img and boot.img to get my cell back to stock bootloader or is there is any way please inform me.
Thanks in advance.
go to downl mode and use LG suite

Hello friends,
I've install CARBON 4.4.2 ROM on my LG E975 after that when camera force closed I restart phone, but it didn't boot up! Then I try flash another rom but any rom didn't boot up at all except official CM11, but it didn't detect sim card! So I decide to flash official KDZ with flash tool, after flashing KDZ it boots up but still didn't have signal and also IMEI is unknown!
As I checked it seems the baseband problem and unfortunately I don't have backup of my EFS partition
First I want to know is it baseband issue and where can I find E975 baseband and how to flash when bootloader is locked?!
Another strange issue is that after flashing KDZ when I turn on phone, It works but restarts after 1 min and it repeats...!! What is this problem for?
Thank you all in advance
I have the same problem with my E977 Optimus G.
same problem!!!!!!!!

Check your inner case, it has model number on itself. Download KDZ file based on your IMEI and reflash back to stock.

Technically, the OG Pro is not brickable ;
If you have NV data,, bootloader back up
