[Q] help me in installing this rom.. - LG Optimus G (International)

my frnd give me this rom and tld me to flash it
but he didn't mentioned that how to flash it
he gave me 3 files
1. d-h.st/afd
2. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2312735
3. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409687
can anyone say me how to do this???

first of all, make sure your lgog is rooted and unlocked.
then follow the instruction from the thread.. flash the ROM first, then flash the kernel.
but I would suggest you don't do it because by looking at your post, I don't think you know anything about what you intended to do.
read more about custom roms and kernel before trying, don't regret later when you brick your phone..

First, you have to root and unlock your phone. You can skip the flash steps TWRP.
Next, download the file and put 2 Pacman rom and kernel Kite V16 in memory.
Now, reboot the phone and Recovey mode.
wipe done 3 times. Then flash ROM and Kernel 2 files.
Reboot and enjoy.

I suggest using cwm or cwm touch. Twrp gives errors sometimes.

look for FreeGee in market, it will unlock the bootloader and install either CWM / TWRP based on your choice.

if you flash kite kernel over stock rom, you probably bricked your phone.

try your luck in kite kernel thread, maybe someone have done similar things like what you did and have a solution for that.
I have no idea as I am still using the stock rom and haven't have the intention to flash my phone yet, so din't do much research on it.
Still the same advice, make sure to read & search before start doing anything. Cry won't help when you bricked your phone.

Multi_tools to unlock LOG.
after unlocking bootloader, CWM recovery is available. Put 2 file: Rom.zip and Kernel.zip to sdcard or memory. Reboot to Recovery. Wipe Data, cache,and wipe davik cache.
Flash ROM, flash Kernel. Reboot.

Steps to take Stock -> Flashed firmware

I am kinda new to rooting and flashing so i am in need of some assistance.
My goal is to flash a new firmware on my xperia s and have it rooted.
I am not quite sure which steps i need to take in which order to do that. I would be very greatfull if someone could tell me the steps i have to take.
I will look for the guides here but i need to know what when to do.

First of all don't panic!
Grab any .55 firmware and install it with FlashTool, when installation is finished don't turn on the phone, disconnect it and hold Volume UP button so it boots in Fastboot mode, then in FlashTool click FLASH then select fastboot and press Flash Kernel > flash this one (Download) When it's over just turn on your device as normal and you will have .55 with Root & Recovery. Good Luck
BEFORE INSTALLING KERNEL UNRAR THE PACKAGE YOU NEED ONLY .elf File.
Just Select elite.elf when choosing kernel to flash.
Attached KERNEL is by RaymanFX.
Thank your for the quick answer.
Do i first need to unlock my bootloarder?
Which firmwares can i install with that kernel?

Hello @schpongo,
I'd Certainly Help You Out.
First of AlL, What You Need Is
1. Unlocked Bootloader - http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
2. Rooted Device - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133063
3. Installing CWM Recovery. I prefer RecoverX - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773227
And As My Friend In Above Post Said. Do Not Panic. It Takes Patience. And lots of waiting time.
Till one process is complete do not try to unplug or close anything. Its easy when you do things very calmly.
Ok Now for Available ROMS - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950706
If you require suggestions regarding flashing roms I'd advice you to start with TEAM FXP ROMS - Cyanogen Mod 10

I Solved the Problem partly by using the flash tool to get back the stock os.
You can use the Flash tool to flash the boot.img file in the phone. It's really simple then manually doing it. I am on phone so can not provide you the link. Please use the search button on how to flash boot. Img using flash tool. Looping in boot is because the boot.img was not flashed properly. Use the flash tool to do it. I too had the same problem when I first flashed but soon found out the problem. Reply back if everything works..

CM 10 is a really good Rom with Stable recovery.
You can even download other ROMS of Build NOZOMI - (Code Name For Xperia S) eg Slim Bean build 5 Nozomi JB 4.2.2
And directly flash it from CWM recovery.

I modified a TWRP installer with this CWM. Replaced TWRP with CWM on my E986 and it works. Updated adb.exe to work with 4.4.
To install just extract the zip contents and run the batch file.

What I did was root my device (you'll need root for FreeGee to work), install FreeGee, let FreeGee back up my nonsense, Disable LGE security, install TWRP. From there you'll have a custom recovery and you'll be able to flash CM or whatever other ROM you'd like.

Better is very subjective. I'm a fan (and builder) of Carbon for the G Pro because it has a little more customization than CM. We have a few good options, though, so pick one and flash away. If you don't like it you can always flash a different one.

You must flash thru recovery.
Here the installation steps, but first you must flash a custom recovery like this or other, its up to you.
Installation instructions
- Copy f4ktion_1.4.0-xxx.zip to your SDCARD
- Reboot into CWM recovery
- Choose "Install zip from sdcard"
- Select f4ktion_1.4.0-xxx.zip kernel and confirm installation.

Thank you so much So all i have to do is flash the recovery in Odin.. But since my s4 mini is rooted, do i have to install the S4Mini_RootKit_V2.zip?? i mean if I do, will it conflict with the SuperSU i have previously installed on my device? Or just overwrite it and work like a charm? Sorry I'm asking like too many questions, but since i'm new here i need some guidance
Btw, how do i know if my bootloader is unlocked? Before I buy this s4 mini i owned an Xperia go and to install a kernel i had to unlock the BL.. I don't know if the same thing applies for sammy devices, just asking:angel:

No, we have bootloader unlocked, so you don't need to unlock anything.
No, try with this recovery if you afraid to not doing some conflicts:

press start to flash the tar.md5 package
normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
If it reboots into main system and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing the 3 buttons combo to for a reboot into recovery.You should see the new CWM
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm

No, we have bootloader unlocked, so you don't need to unlock anything.
No, try with this recovery if you afraid to not doing some conflicts:

So after i install the philz touch recovery, can i install ths deodexed rom http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2014/04/deodexed-and-rooted-stock-for-galaxy-s4-mini.html which comes with a custom kernel (vikinger)? will there be a problem with it because the rom is based on BML1 and my current fw is BNB3? thank you very much :silly:

Really, i don't know for sure, BUT in my previous phone (S Advance I9070) i have some errors when i flashed different baseband deodexed.
Make a nandroid backup after you have custom recovery, and you can try it. If something going wrong, restore your backup and all will just like before.

[BOOTLOADER] Bootloader Unlocker/Locker from recovery

Hi guys
Bootloader unlockers/lockers from recovery are here.
Easy method to unlock & relock Optimus G bootloader.​
Good things about these zips:
1. No running OS is needed.
2. You don't have to be on lg stock roms.
3. Work much faster & easier. Less than a minute.
4. You will still have custom recovery after locking your bl.
How to use?
Using bumped recovery, flash them like other zips in recovery.
Don't have recovery?
Flash a bumped recovery img (inside of the attached zips) with an app like Flashify or Kernel Adiutor or etc.
Note: BL unlockers flash unlocked bootloader + Philz/CWM recovery. Booting up on unlocked BL needs unlocked kernel.
So in stock roms, don't forget to flash an unlocked kernel, like unlocked stock kernel or solid kernel or etc...
Anyway in case of any problem, there is no worry because you can always access to Philz touch(for E975) or CWM(for other variants) recovery.
I could only test E975 ones. Other variants unlockers must also work. But you are the testers...

Please Note:
1. I'm waiting for your feedbacks. Please give feedback with name of your variants.
2. I didn't have stock bootloader files for other variants, so I could make bootloader locker for E975 only.
Some guides:
1. How to flash boot/recovery .img in Kernel Auditor?
In the Backup section of the app, use Flash IMG button, then select your .img file (extract them from zips), then select the partition to flash (boot/recovery).
2. You can use your own bumped recovery img, using the bump tool
3. On locked bootloader you can enter to recovery with hardreset method.
4. After flashing Makoz30f Flasher (not after unlocking, unlocking is ok), it will also flash bootloader tz.img & rpm.img.
Flashing Mako rpm.img will cause false heat issue on LG roms so your screen brightness will not go further than 63%(& cpu clock speed further than 1188000). E975 unlocker & relocker zips will replace tz & rpm partitions with stock ones. So you can use them to fix this problem.
Whats mean stockboot?

for other variants of og, after unlocking, you need to flash an unlocked kernel, but for E975, if you use the zip that has stockboot, you dont need to do anything & it flashes the kernel for you.
What's it use for ?

Since Gee3 rom has better speed & LTE support in our stock roms, I'm making Gee3 v1.3 & I'm testing it, but with this kind of statistics , it seems there's no motivation no replays about its working on other variants...

MMK instruction
Hi MMK,
I'm a total newbie and it's the first time i've ever flashed a device, my E975 is completely stock (but i've root privilege and su is installed). I've installed flashify and downloaded a zip (i don't have a special kernel at the moment do you suggest stockboot). Now i've unzipped the folder on the phone but i'm uncertain about what to do now, there are a lot of images and i really don't know where to flash what. Can you suggest a more detailed procedure?
Thank you for the effort and thanks in advance.
great job bro ^_^

Hi, If your bootloader isn't already unlocked:
In flashify you must choose recovery image from flash section, then choose the Philz.recovery.img you've extracted.
Then press reboot to recovery from options & simply flash the zips in recovery mode to lock or unlock your bootloader.
Make sure to use your own variant zip.

If you want stock based roms like Sling Kahroba,
Before unlocking, flash a bumped recovery & install the bumped Sling Kahroba... Easy.
PS: you can't use lockers because they're only for E975 variant.

Check your variant & go for it...
I've described what you should do on stock rom & locked bl.
Start with Flashify & follow the procedure.
