[Q] differences between phone models?! - LG Optimus G (International)

1) is the e975 considered as the International Version?
2) my model is e975k so how it's different from the international one and what roms can i flash on it (from a compatability perspect)

country: Bought it in israel
camera: 13.0 MP
storage: it shows 25GB available so i think you can call it 32
4G freq: im in israel so we don't have 4G but when i typed lg e975k on google one of the resaults was
the australian official LG website so if austalia has 4G so this phone is capable of 4G connectivity
in the "About Phone" it shows that it's made in korea so i think the "K" in the model represents korea but i'm not sure
Comes preinstalled with jelly bean 4.1.2
if you need anything else just ask and i'll be happy to answer

Thanks for the info.
Don't know what "k" stands for,but it's not korea.i mean,E975R is used in australia...
Theoretically,all roms for E975 should work with K.especially if you don't have 4G.just don't try E971/973 roms.they have different specs.

if the e975 roms would not be compatible with my "k" model could it lead to hard bricking my phone ?
because a hard brick is caused when you flash an incompatible rom or recovery or you can just say (bad NAND boot image)

the lg is a sturdy device,pretty solid. Those who bricked it didn't payed attention to exact steps and didn't read all the infos.i used kdz updater on it more than 20 times,not to mention all customs roms i flashed and tested. Didn't "succeed" in bricking it,yet.worst case in your situation(but not gonna happen)...the phone would be stucked on lg logo.l,but you will be able to enter download mode.again,not gonna happen.
The pone is easy to work with,i mean it takes about 30 seconds to root and 2 minutes to unlock the bootloader and flash cwm recovery.just root it and see if freegee is compatible with it.if not,upload the files needed and shelnutt2 will fix it in no time.

Even if you are hard hard hard bricked, you can save it with a JTAG. So yeah, if you're at this step, you're maybe analphabet.

I flashed mine LG Optimus F180L with the A10 version of the E975 (with the origial LG software) and everything sames to work, I only must get signal (3g and WiFi) after the flash, by settings I let search the Phone to the provider and choose for mine provider, then I had signal, I did this yesterday so I'm testing the signal for a few days.

The E975 rom has apns for most carriers built in but in most cases only 3g apns. If you need LTE you have to edit or add LTE apn.
LG Optimus G E971
By the settings "Mobile network" and then "Network mode" I have also the option "GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto".
I can't test it, because we in Holland waiting for the LTE / 4G, so if it not work, I don't mis it.

Elisha, do you know (or anybody els) how to add or edit this. Now I have only 3G and WiFi but no H and
sometimes I lost the signal for a short time.
On a Chinese site they have it over to install bband20j.img over the ROM. I used Google translator but even then it is Chinese, it is not
clear how to do this. Mist I root the device ans then use Root Explorer to copie the file or what?
Here's mine: http://db.tt/HizTOKa4
Backup the current one and move this to system/etc and set correct permissions.
Then go back to apn setting to see if you have the LTE apn. Or reboot first and try.
Btw that is for Rogers.

Hope you could help me.
Thanks in advance.
@antoniejanssen show yourself and advertise step by step flashing ..
He probably used the KDZ method. However I would recommend rooting, unlocking and flashing an E975 based rom via cwm first. That way it's not replacing the modem.

if he says he has no any issues after then all is ok no?
Yeah but we don't know if he KDZed or flashed a custom rom.
I can link you to a stock HK E975 rom with root and you can try if you want if you are already unlocked and have cwm.
It won't replace your modem so you should have network. Everything will work on an E971 and E973.
If flashing on F180, make a nandroid first.

You need to root first and then unlock your bootloader with FreeGee. I'm not sure if the F180 has an unlockable bootloader for JB though.

Sorry for the late reaction, but I was first busy for my work an then became ill.
I did the KDZ methode and then you must root it and then install the BaseBandF180L.
If you want to do this, you need the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN software, the E97510A_00.kdz file.
After that the root software and then the BasebandF180L software.

I wanted to get this specific version off ebay. which is called "NEW UNLOCKED LG OPTIMUS G 32GB BLACK WHITE PREMIUM TDMB & QUADBEAT IPS E973 F180" Its from korea. I wanted to know can i install the firmwares found on this forum for e973 on this phone? does this phone have cm 10.1. E973 and this phone are the same? firmware wise and other stuff also. Any opinions guys please share. And is the camera of this phone better than galaxy note?
Not the same. E973 is closer to the E975 and E971 than it is to the F180.

for e973 or f180?
Dont buy the F180 unless you live in korea.
Why not?
I've the LG Optimus F180L now for a month and I'm from The Netherlands. I'm very happy with this Phone.
I flashed yesterday the A10 version from the E975 with the Original LG software. Now I have the same LG Phone
without korean apss or klanguage and extra QSlide apps in the pulldown menu.
So, why shouldn't we buy one, in Europe we still can't buy it. The best Phone there is on this moment.
First of all cause of warranty/insurance.
Also if your phone got broken, that would be trouble to repair the phone in Europe cause F180, especially the L version, has some differences from E97X.
E975 is already announced and close to arrive, be patient

E973 is international version i suppose
Its the E975
Yeah E975 is the actual international version. E971 would be the next closest due to the 2600mhz LTE band and then the E973.

Lg-e987 (optimus g?)

Hi everyone, i just bought an lg optimus G from my carrier (movistar argentina) and it suposed to say E975, but it say E987 as model numer, i can't find anything on the web about it, and i want to root it and install cwm... i was following some guides here in the forums, but they only say it works for e975 and e973 (canada version).
Anyone can help me out?
Thanks in advance
It has been discussed here already about e987.it's the G for south america.basically e975 and e987 are identical,the only difference is the lte modem.
You should keep that in mind if you try to flash something on it.
But for rooting and unlocking the tools should work. Just make sure you have the kdz updater and the kdz rom for your region,just in case.

so if i flash something like cm10.1 on it i will break it?
the procedure is 99.9% safe.There is that 0.01% chance of something going wrong. No procedure is safe.That's why i said you must have original firmware ready,just in case something goes wrong.This way,if you will have trouble or you won't like CM,you can always go back to stock.
To be honest, right now i am on stock(forgot to change signature in tapatalk ),trying some stuff with xposed framework.I removed some of the bload and changed dpi with xposed framework on every app supporting it. The only thing messed up if you change the dpi is the lockscreen.Leave that alone.I'm very happy with the current settings. Don't get me wrong, CM is great,but i wanna start learning more about modding the framework,so i can have a byte at LG source.I just don't understand why nobodoy has tried to make a custom rom from lg's source.It's way better than samsung's tw,not so heavily modified and not so much bloat.

[Q] Help with LG Optimus G E977

Hello to all, i'm making this thread to understand some things about my LG, firts i'm from Venezuela and i have and LG Optimus G E977 with Movistar (LG Optimus G E977=E975 with different modem for Latin America); i have already root the phone and unlock it with FreeGee app, thanks to this guys really for simplify our lives, so i want to install the CyanogenMod rom and i encounter with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...4611&nocache=1 so when i click in the download link i see there is a stable version, so my question is what is the difference i know Nightlies is something like a beta but the last Nightlies post there is more efficient than the stable or what ?, another question is if i install that room i need to find the modem for Movistar here in Venezuela or it don't touch that section ?, the FreeGee app install the TWRP i choose the 2.5 but i don't know how to acces it in this phone i read and search and it is an app for booting in TWRP but there is no manual access ?, and my last question is when i have completely install CM 10.1 i must put this kernel i find to make the full change in my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2312735 ?, forgive me if i asked many question, but i think is better to post all the doubts for disturb less, some information about my phone LG Optimus G E977 Movistar Venezuela, Android version 4.1.2 Stock, Kernel version 3.4.0, with root and bootloader unlock i check it by pressing volume up and power button, thanks in advance for all the answers guys, have a good day
P.D.: i have already change the room of my Asus Transformer Infinity TF700, so i have at least some experience in this
Wait a litle more and learn.no need to rush.you will find here all necessary infos,just search.make sure you know how to revert changes you made,before applying them.better safe than sorry.a litle advice,do not flash e975 software.in europe we mostly have 2600mhz lte band.if your carrier uses another band,you will lose 4g.all custom roms work on e977.i mean e 975 custom roms,not e973/e971.
One last thing,if you flash 4.2.x rom,mounting poits will be changed.this means the whole folder tree will be different and you won't be able to see your old files normally.you will find them in /data/media folder.for that you will need a root explorer and mount as r/w the very root of the device.

Thanks for the advice dude, i don't understand exactly what you mean with no need to rush , if it is something i did wrong i apologize, i want to put the same CM you have, you install the stable version or the Nightlies one ?, and how you get into the TWRP in this phone ?, thanks again kimitza for taking the time to answer me, really appreciate it
See,exactly this small things are the difference between succes and brick your phone.like i said,all infos are here.just look for them.there were so many cases of bricked phones because they rushed and not read all the way....don't be one of those.
It's quite easy to work with the g,but it has a litle trick.you mentioned something about freegee.please read all it's features.one of them is INSTALLING custom recovery.after that,all you need is an app from praystore™ to reboob into recovery,because you can't enter recovery mode on stock rom by using buttons combo.it will get only to service mode or hard reset menu.
I recommend cwm touch though,not twrp.
There,i gave you all the info you need.
Before starting,tell me the exact procedure of rooting,unlocking,flashing custom rom and,most important,how to get back to stock.if you do that,i will help all the way in the future with all i can.this is the only way for me to be sure.your call.
Ps. If i don't make much sense,it's because i slept only 3 hrs in last 2 days.so,sorry.

Take a break kimitza a long one, wow few hours is not a good idea unless job or other situations, and don't worry you make more sense that many other people, trying to avoid me a hardbrick things that must be appreciate, i always read all the information before make a change or flashing something so don't to worry about that, i will tell you what i've done and how to revert it, firts with the root, i use the fastloader and the ZV9-ZVB Universal root with CurrentRoot bat file, to revert it i must go to the app SuperSU and make the clean uninstall and install the stock version from LG to ensure a good revert process, to unlock the phone i use the FreeGee app it tell's me about my stock special unlock and that it would touch some sbl files it's okay because i've never make a change in those files with this LG so i proceed to unlock it and success additional it install me the 2.5.0 TWRP and for revert it, it tell me i can do it with the same app, for flashing a custom room thing i want to do for better performance is download the file i will put the stable version of the CM 10.1, placing into the phone, use the app to boot in recovery mode, make a factory reset with the TWRP and flash it, then it comes one question i don't know i must put this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2312735 for a better performance or not ?, what you recommend me ?, to revert it i must use the LG Software with the LG Drivers, already installed bot, and install the stock version, i will not make any backup because i don't want to backup anything my contacts and other prior stuff is already backup, want to make a clean flash, so kimitza if you have some tip or some suggestion or even a correction please tell me i will proceed when you answer me, if i have any problem with the modem signal i will contact you, i don't think it will touch it but we never know, thanks again for your time my friend and don't forget to please answer my question about the kernel i know it must be installed after installing the CM 10.1 rom, waiting your answer
P.D.: by the way sorry if my english is not perfect or clean, you know not my natal lenguage but i make it good at least hahaha
After you unlock and install custom recovery,install any app from market which reboobs into recovery mode.i personally use rom toolbox pro,but there are apps only for that.the best it seems to bee quickboot.
After this,you can flash any compatible rom or kernel in cwm.now i'm using thinking bridge s4 with kite kernel.i love the new looks.also,flashing latest nightly from official cm is not bad.kite kernel will work with it too.

I was reading nice reviews about that rom for the S4, so you recommend me the last Nightlies more than the stable version ?, wow dude why ?, is it not supposed than the stable version is better ?, hmmm i'm confused now hahaha , yeah in some threads they recommend quickboot to boot into custom recoverys, i will use that kernel when i finish flashing the rom, but tell me why last Nightlies prior to stable one ?, i'm little newbie about the differences, i have not read the chanellog, so teach me if you can, thanks kimitza in advance :good:
Don't be confused by the titles.all builds are good for daily driver,cm team doesn't release anything but quality.it's called nightly because they merge somethings,they add some features etc,but it's the same base as stable.
I'm using tb s4 now and i'm impressed.

Quite helpful thread to read.
Yep and for those who want to know about if the modem firmware or modem files on the LG Optimus G E977 will be changed installing the rom's for the LG Optimus G E975 or another kernels have no fear nor doubt it will not touch the firmware or the files of the modem so you can and have acces to the same line operator before making the changes, greetings and hugs from Venezuela to all

I'm also in Venezuela with e977 from movistar. Are you getting the h+ network with cm10.1? I couldn't get it and had to go back to stock. Thank you.

Did you set up the APN's?

Yes, I don't know what else to try. If installing cm10.1 does not modify your current baseband it must be configuration or rom. Tried 2 different aosp based rom (cm10.1 nightly and pacman) with 3 different kernels (p33, cm stock and kite).
Also tried adding hsdpa categories explicitly on build.prop. Tried using service hidden menu to switch between modem bands. Tried backing up the whole modem partition img from the stock rom my phone came with and making a flashable zip, which didn't work either.
So if anyone with movistar (Venezuela) can do "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/1modem.img" from a root shell on the phone or from adb (with adb shell su -c) compress the img and upload it, I would appreciate eternally. The image should be around 64mb uncompressed. I would make a flashable zip and give it back if it works.

Use this tool to backup your rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37764554
Then compress 1modem.img and upload it somewhere like mediafire or any free file sharing. Post the link here and I'll do the rest.
Also make sure you have the stock baseband provided by movistar.
Thank you for helping another luis

Made it from the kdz at lg-phone-firmware. Flashed stock, rooted, flashed cm10.1 with the modem, deleted the apn, created it manually, didn't work.
Went back to stock and have h+ again. Wierd stuff.
Anyway here is the flashable modem.

[Q] E975W and custom ROMS

Hopfully this is not a stupid question, a search revealed nothing:
As they are basically identical are the E975 ROMS for the Optimus G compatible with the Optimus GJ E975W?
Yes. The only difference between w and normal g is the waterproof feature.

That was what I was reading, thanks for confirming!
Please clarify this one for me if possible:
is rooting procedure the for E975 and E975W also the same?
There is remarkably little information in the net regarding rooting specifically E975W. Well, actually, I have found nothing except for some Russian guide.
Yes it is.

Another beginner question:
Can we use custom ROMs of E975 on E975W?

press power button for 6 to 8 secs to power off device, after that try download mode, if you can see download mode, your safe.
Hi all,
regarding this topic is there anyone who was success with unlock bootloader / root / flash custom recovery / flash custom ROM for E975W?
I would like to read some personal experience with this. I would be very thankful.
I just looked it up and there are a few minor differences, but I'm unsure about whether or not it'll make a difference. I think the biggest issue is that the screen resolution differs, like someone else mentioned earlier. On top of that, the E975W does not support LTE networks, which the intl version does. I think that if you edit a few files in a E975 rom to make it fit the screen resolution for the E975W it'll work out. Because other than these things, everything is indeed the same.

And what about unlock bootloader and root? I just looked around optimus g topics and it's not clear for me.
Because as you described may be possible to use e975 rom for the e975w with some minor changes so i should give a shot for it.
But first I need a proper method for unlock bootloader&root&flash custom recovery. Then backup stock rom (if I screw up something...), then showtime.
Thanks a lot!

Shouldn't unlocking the BL and rooting the phone the exact same way it does with the e975? I don't there are any differences concerning software, so either you could try the method for e975 and you could always try rooting it using Towelroot
e975w can be rooted now. donot flash e975 to e975w or you will have hard brick.
