I have Korean LGOG F240K and all these awesome ROMs are coming out for E980 model.
I compared the models and except for LTE bands everything is same.
A developer told me that ROMs like CM don't flash modem/baseband
So my question is shouldn't the ROMs work as hardware is same and baseband is preserved???
Can someone enlighten me?
I just made a thread about E980 roms and F240
For me call and data works great so I guess it preserved the baseband
The only thing doesn't work for me Is ext sdcard
Great! I'm going to try this. I dont like the stock rom

Hello community,
next month, the E975 come to germany and i want to switch from HTC One X+ to Optimus G.
what we need is a way to root, an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery.
at Project FreeGee, the latest version 0.6 i think, has particular support for E975 HK and TW.
does it mean it will work with all variants of E975 or only HK and TW?
i read, only firmware 10A can be rooted at the moment, so i must downgrade to 10A - germany starts with 10B.
is there a custom recovery for E975 available?
i found one for Sprint and AT&T but this will not work
please help me to find the right things if there available...
thanks :fingers-crossed:

At the time you have your LG E975, watch this site again, then there will be a root methode. Be patient.
jcase just released a new method that roots pretty much any Optimus G, including E975 10b. As for FreeGee the app doesnt support our phone yet, but now that its rooted I bet they will release an update that does soon.
Just edit your build prop device id to hk or tw and it will work.

Oh cool, was a lot of comments that it didnt work in the FreeGee thread.
Do you also happen to know if the CM10.1, AOSP or AOKP in the Canadian thread would work for E975, maybe need to backup some radio files and restore after flash?

You can try. All those roms don't replace your radio anyway but back it up just in case.
I KDZed the Australian 10A and used freegee to unlock by changing build prop to HK.
However I'm not sure how it will affect a native E975 phone cause freegee unlock fixes our camera and allows it to work as the E971 and E973 have 8mp. But it breaks wifi which has to be fixed manually by replacing a few files.
Just make sure you have a backup or at least the original KDZ so you can revert back.

Think I will play chicken for now and see if someone else tries, CM10 seems to have a few bugs also to work out also ^^
Thanks for info though
thank you all.
Optimus G is ordered. i will try it when its arrived
I`m looking on the how to or someone to do it for me, Maybe PayPal $10?
But I`m NOT looking for mods or extras I can do that myself.
But looking for a Flashable stock rom from either the Korean Version F240 or the E988 or maybe the UK Version but theres not much on that yet.
I just need a working CWM flashable rom.
I have the E980 and currently running the rom that is made for the F240k but it has mods and such but I want a PURE stock experience. And I dont think its possible to flash a KDZ with baseband to my AT&T E980, I`m afraid to do that.
I just want to be running a stock international rom on my phone.
should be able to tomorrow fingers crossed

is it possible to make a theme for the OGP that makes the dialpad, contact list and system settings dark? maybe to work with Xposed Theme Engine?
just recently, I bought a Korean Optimus G for a sweet price. now I'm thinking of rooting it and installing a custom rom.
problem is, it's an F180K but was localized by conversion to E975. How do i go about doing this, do I flashback to F180K (if that's possible) or can i continue and flash E975 ROMs on this converted-F180K?
also, I'm currently using an LTE sim but not getting any LTE, could the conversion be the cause? how do I fix it?
thanks in advance for the help! on a side note, which (in your opinion) is the smoothest and fastest rom that doesn't eat up too much space (is that possible) and gives the best battery life. preference of qualities are in that order.
I also own an F180K bought from Korea. What i can tell you is that this model has only LTE 900 and LTE 1800 bands. So even if you can and will convert back its possible not to fix your LTE issue.
Regarding the roms ( this is my opinion only ) i couldn't find any rom to beat the stock. I tried many of them about 5-6 months ago. Now might be different. So my opinion is that Stock rom with root access and greenify beats everything.
oh. so that's why i'm not getting any LTE. My carrier's LTE network runs on 2100. sucks -.-
anyway, know how I can convert back to stock F180K? Can I use E975 ROMs for my F180K or only the ones tailor made for the F180K?
thanks for the reply btw, I was beginning to lose hope. anyway, what version is stock on? I'd like 4.4 KitKat but if it's still on 4.3 then I'll still have to think about it.
I also heard stock F180K has a lot of korean stuff despite changing language to english, this true?

thank you, that's very informative. I'm currently on 4.1.2 although this isn't the korean version, should I go for the original F180K firmware? my software version is e97510d-ESA-XX.
I also read there are some korean stuff on the dialer in the stock firmware of the F180K, how do you get rid of those?
last question, what's in the later versions (4.2/4.3/4.4) that's not in 4.1?

If you want to get rid of Korean-specific features and elements in the interface (like labels on the dialer), the Korean stock ROM is not for you. The E975 ROM that you have right now should be good, but I am not sure if I understand exactly what you mean by "localized"... You can definitely use E975 ROMs on F180 (I do), but it might be a bit messy, depending on your luck. There is a lot of info here on XDA regarding F180 -> E975 conversion and related issues -- read it to understand what you are doing.

The last official stock version is 4.1.2, like I said before. If you want newer versions, you need custom ROMs. Note that there is an expected upgrade to 4.4.x which should come fairly soon, but hey, it's LG, so no solid ETAs. It will come when it comes...

well yeah, last thing since I don't think this has been answered yet, can I flash to other E975 roms from my current setup? (F180K converted to E975) or do I have to use roms made specifically for F180K devices?
I just got my G3 and love everything about it with Cloudy rom. Maybe it could be the first time I stay with a stock based rom rather than CM. However, the call signal seems to be very weak compared to my Nexus 4 (I'm using D850 on T-mobile network)..
Is there any different baseband (or whatever you call it - radio or modem), available for this phone? I would like to try some different baseband and see if there is any differences.... I looked up the whole xda but doesn't seem to have a thread like modem collection...

Lollipop based rom. It seems that d850 is particularly poor at receiving tmobile 4g signal... It seems to be getting att one without too much problem. Is kitkat modem better? I didn't find them to be different though.
Is therr a D850 20P radio modem available somewhere??

20P is only for D855, please dont randomely flash modems that you find on the internet
Thank you for the very constructive feedback No one is randomly flashing anything, with wreckless abandon as the 855 modem is usually accompanied by a warning by actually constructive posters.
How about oosting the latest 850 modem?

Umm if you can find the KDZ or someone whos running the latest Lollpop firmware they can probably extract it for you
Well, I started this thread and I have collected Kitkat modem and the current 20F lollipop modem for D850. It seems that these two are only available. I'm trying to upload the files but xda says the files are too big. Hopefully ATT makes some new modems to solve the issue. Compared to my other devices G3's signal is almost 10 dbm poorer than others (especially same LG made nexus 4 with 33 hybrid modem...
edit: Okay here are the links for download
for kitkat

for lollipop

Can anyone tell me the modem version of d850's 21q? is it the same as c1.13?

Hi. I have one of those compiled G3s with D850mainboards from Aliexpres. I cant get the GSM function running , so want to try the 850 modems. Can you refresh the modem links as mega says it is expired due inactivity? Thank you!
Hi, guys!
I need to know who use LG Optimus G Pro E980. What custom ROM do you use?
Do your phones Deepsleep on custom ROMs?
My friend tried to use many custom ROMs. But his phone didn't Deepsleep.
His phone sleeps only on Stock based ROMs.
Thanks!!!
e988 user here
@Alezzander_ If you having problems with deepsleep this is a good thread for you, i personally use it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/general/flashaholics-recipe-success-att-e980-t2854320
despite what all ppl here on forums say i never flashed madmacks modem cuz i dont think its for my device.
always start with your models (e980,e988,e986 ORIGINAL firmware kdz and dont flash madmacks modem cuz custom roms dont touch modem partition) then root,recovery,custom rom....
try to avoid installing all apps that have background scanning or syncing (avp or facebook ) that apps will hold phone awake...
open gapps is also good choice (tested) and deleting nfc app
TWRP 2.8.7.0 + Wild kernel + Blisspop here running great! cheers :good:

I have E988 model and have not problem with Deepsleep. I wrote about my friend. He has E980 and his phone did not Deepsleep on all custom ROMs. Suspend_backoff wakelock did not allow Deepsleep.
Madmacks modem only for E980 models not for E988. He did not use Gapps and NFC deletted.
But his E980 Deepsleep on Stock based ROMs.
Thanks for link. I will show this thread to my friend.

One thing to mention. It is crucial to start on stock jelly bean. This is where Madmacks modem is from.
I don't know why but there's a problem with kit kat's modem that will prevent deepsleeping in custom roms.
An observation, Madmacks modem is e980 specific or AT&T specific.
For any other model, for flashing a modem you first need to learn how to extract it, then zip it.
There's a sticky thread by @aryan1312 under android development, where he teaches how to do this.
