Hi,
To cut the long story short I have come out with the idea of separate forum for Indian users so as to better understand the issues and also to have tight and easy context to our problems.
Withi a week of buying this phone, I had to visit service centre. It never happend with my any other previous phones. Obivoulsy this is becasuse of locked bootloader and stupid stone-age problmes in LG Flash tool like "low battery error"
Anyway, lets discuss all development and flashing related aspects of this version over here. Hope this benefits all.
FInally, Moderators may feel to redirect or route to alternatives, if any. Thank you.
Its a nice thought but Indian Optimus G pro users are already minority among the very limited user base of the Optimus G pro. I only wish more people knew about this amazing phone. For 27k INR its a steal nowadays.
For starters check out the stickies thread from the android development side. Its an amazing guide for the e988 based users. Helped me a lot.

Flipkart price was 27k arnd and expecting 10% cashback on sbi card, was chckn lenovo p780 but this beast just got me too tempted at that price
I kinda broke my original battery back cover and m finding it quite difficult to get one. The service center people are out of stock, said they'll inform me as soon as they get it but its been almost 20 days now.
Any idea where i can get one.

Yes. I have disabled security before flashing recovery. I have flashed recovery through freegee app itself. After that the phone got into bootloop. After that I could not get it started. Tried flashing stock ROM through lg flashtool.but always got stuck due to low battery error. So finally went to service centre.

and cromaretail is selling the 32gb version for that price, i got the 16gb one at that price fom flipkart that too cashback i will get in jan.
And i guess price drop is because of being stuck in 4.1.2, while buyin most dont care for roms just the current stock version
Ordered it from croma today, the black one went out of stock so had to settle for the white one.
Upgrading from Lg Optimus 2x after using it for 2 years.
Man it's very tough to find G Pro in retail stores, searched em all in Koramangala/Forum side even the much Hyped Google/spice "AndroidLand Store" didnt have it , only univercell had it , no one else not even croma itself , Lg Phone's distribution n/w is real poor in India ,speaking from previous experience, if any storekeeper has LG you'll only find G pro lite or G2 ,
I ordered for 24,500 from croma retail , it's a loot considering the specs but i am pretty sure we wont see the Android update atleast for the next 6 months if at all , same thing happened with Optimus 2x but atleast Lg did provide it with Stable ICS some good months later. With not much of a difference b/w release dates of G,G pro ,G2 and Lg never calling G pro their Flagship , I seriously doubt any updates , but still those specs for that price is awesome.
I Flashed CM on my Optimus 2x the day i bought it , I hope this time around i use Stock a bit more
only thing from my wishlist that this phone didnt fulfill was Dual sim and LTE that would work in India but then no expensive phone had dual sim and No one knows India's LTE bands with sureity

it should be compatible. But why don't you buy SW2??? 1st Gen has a lot of problems. if the price is within your budget, just go for 2nd Gen. You can find it cheaper on eBay than your local store.

I'm not sure about hardware part but my phone is also e975k but I can use e975 kdz/rom without problem. Phones spec also the same. All I notice what is difference is GSM band support in those 2 models. IMO, it only have software difference. But to make sure, you can ask LG service center for confirmation. You can also read more info about G variant in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334023
Yesterday I went and got a Nexus 6. While I love the new phone, I will miss my old Optimus G Pro. This phone still has good hardware and has a lot of development left in it. Thanks to all the Dev. that work on this device. I had a lot of fun with it.

When you sell it please (if you can and its not a problem) report back how it goes - was it easy to sale etc.
I can never say my G Pro goodbye till it breath out it's final breath. Yeh, I got myself a new G Flex 2 three months ago, but I can't get rid with my G Pro, so i get another sim card (finding an excuse) to keep using my G Pro. And it doesn't make me disappointed yet.
I found cm-13 Source for our e980 mates! Look in my thread.
Ehm i'm selling it but it have too much problems.
Hey everyone.
I wanna buy my wife a phone under 400$. At 370$ i have the g4. At 280$ i have the g3. All the Samsung phones are pricier and provide low level hardware at the same price.
I thought i buy the g3 as it is very cheap but satisfying phone...
But i am wondering if the g4 today doesn't have the bootloop issue...
If I'll buy the g4 today, i won't suffer from this issue?
Thanks.
Why would it have bootloop if you didnt do anything with bootloader and adb and root?

Lg g4 has hardware issues. Read about it. But i can't find if the issue solved.
My lg g4 never bootlooped on stock (20d version)
But i used it only for about 2 months (stock, now im on cm)
Not rom related. Hardware issue.

I just bought a G3 T MOBILE ( just set )for 130US$ from a retail shop he was selling it for 150$ i bargained him till he reached 130$ where r u buying these phones from ? G4 has gotten a lot cheaper check ebay n amazon ....u can suffer a bootloop issue in g4... buy G3 tmobile version only it has bootloader pre-unlocked from factory...check for signal issues as well most g3 have signal issues as well
I am talking about the cheapest prices at ISRARL! Buying from any store... Nlocked of course. We have custom here. This is why the prices r high.

Its not just the manufacturing date but also serial number that starts with 505,6 etc ... Bootloop is one of major issue in g4 ... There is also a screen burn issue it happens when the phone gets to hot also a hardware issue... The lcd needs to be replaced there is a line on the screen thats shows ... Such a shame for such a good phone with so many faults
But its LG fault.... Samsung and etc are better....

Shiiit my phone has burning screen
False info
I got mine in december 2015 and since then I'm on stock. So far no bootloop either burned screen. Stop believing crappy info. Had also the g3 but they cannot be compared, g4 is miles in front of the g3, plus in not cracking prone.
