Hello. I am working on an unlock method for another phone, the LG Motion 4G. After some searching, I have found that the LG Optimus G and the LG Motion 4G have the same bootchain partitions at the same location and the same size. If someone could upload the Lg Optimus G's SBL1-3, TZ, aboot, boot, and rpm partitions, I would be very thankful.
Look on Need info for freegee update thread. You will find all files there.

Hi! I have an LS980 and I want to use it with AT&T... Ive read during my research some people complaining about their sprint lg g2 being 'stuck' on D80x that they flashed wronglly trough LG Flashtool -- and I was wondering.. if I flash the tot file for D800 or D802 will I be turning my phone into ATT Variant? Or is this too easy to be true?
a friend of mine gave me a bad esn sprint LG G2 that he bought off on craigslist. It has the ZVE firmware and I succesfully rooted it using stumproot. I install all of cloudyFa's roms on it, but for some odd reasons it won't pick up my tmobile simcard. I go to "phoneinfo" and no matter what I switch it to from WCDMA preferred to GSM only etc.... it just keeps saying "emergenc calls only" So i'm wondering if it's because of the bad esn that's keeping it from recognizing my Tmobile sim card. Anyone can help me?

Try a regular unlock on the device first.
regular unlock?
when you say regular unlock do you mean have the device unlock through Sprint first? I don't think Sprint will give the unlock code because the Sprint LG G2 has a bad esn. If what you mean by regular unlock refers to modifying the software then unfortunately that is something I'm not really good at, but I'm a risk taker - I don't mind attempting to do the regular unlock even if the bad esn sprint Lg g2 gets messed up in the process. Is there anyway at all for you to show me how to do the regular unlock? I saw in another topic about using Rom Toolbox lite to change some stuff, but when I install the Rom Toolbox lite app I have no idea how to use it - it's all very confusing.

I went to the link as you suggested and I downloaded the file that you provided, but it would not let me copy the folder carrier. I follow all the directions that was provided on the link, but when I check the carrier folder on the phone I notice there are only two folders. While the carrier folder on the TotalCMD folder had like 6 folders plus a file.
Hmm, not being a gsm user, I am not sure. Was there any information in the thread of someone else with the same issue.
One thing I think they didn't say was you have to be on zv7 or zv8. Unless further in the thread it says other wise. Still reading.

when I was handed the bad esn sprint LG G2, I checked the firmware and it was on ZVE firmware then I used LG Flash Tool and downgraded it back to ZV8 firmware. I have successfully rooted it also now on the ZV8 firmware. My brother-in-law has a sprint LG G2 and his work for tmobile, but only thing is his Sprint LG G2 has a clean esn/imei and mine don't. So i'm assuming mine is not working because of the bad esn. Oh well I will keep on trying and figuring out how to make it work.
I purchased a used Verizon LG G3 from someone online. It has Verizon all over the device; however, whenever I turned it on, US Cellular popped up on the screen. The guy told me all I had to do was call Verizon and they would activate the phone.
I contacted Verizon, and they said there was nothing they could do. I talked to a friend of mine and he said that it looked like they flashed the phone with a US Cellular firmware as the device is a VS985 but it is showing up as US990 on the firmware. I have tried flashing it back to a stock firmware of Verizon using the FlashLG Tool and stock *.tot file to which it fails and just says device model is different.
My question is, is there anything I can do to fix this or is this phone basically a paper weight?
I'm kind of new to this, so any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Try flashing 24b using the KDZ method...

Hi guys in urgent need of your opinions. When I went to an LG service centre after my phone died they replaced my mobo (E988 Singapore) with an E980 one. Soon after before I managed to root and unlock its bootloader I checked through the device details and the funny thing is that I realised it doesn't tally with any AT&T or non-AT&T E980 models as the model number was just listed as E980 and if I remember correctly the version number for the firmware listed it as an EU device?
I went forward with modding the phone and everything went well until recently when I tried to switch recoveries from CWM to TWRP. Unfortunately due to the confusion regarding my hardware (whether it was really an E980 or E988) I mucked up the process and am left with soft bricked device. Any ideas how to fix this? I don't know which KDZ file to flash for my situation. Please help me solve this as I really need to use the device urgently.
I think you'd be fine just treating it as an e980 and flashing back to stock
So I should just use any of the E980 kdz? I don't wanna risk hard bricking the device but I'll try it when I get the chance.
