Hi! I am the proud owner of an E973 and i would like to know if the E975 and E970 roms are cross compatible? I've seen that rootbox developpement is stopped in the E973 forums, but the op says for further developpement to check a link, and this link is on the e970 forums. Do i need a special kernel? Or is it safe to just flash away any Exxx series Optimus G roms?
E971 and E973 are identical except for modem. Flash ROM for either to your phone, them flash the modem for your phone, and away you go.
E970 is almost identical. You can usually flash their ROM, then a kernel for your phone, them the modern for your phone. Sometimes it doesn't work, though. Usually it does.

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
Hello,
I am a new android user, and would like to flash the LG Optimus Z Rom to my LG Optimus G. as I am new, I have no idea what I am doing... I tried following the directions on the Forum Post, but I got no-where, and since I am a new user to this forum, I am unable to post a reply to that thread.
Could someone please help me out? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Chase
Better leave the phone as it is. Start learning,then try.don't do this by ear or you may end up with a brick.flashing roms is not for newbies.even exeperienced users get unlucky and brick their phones.
So,gather info,search and be sure you know what you are doing and the risks involved.
Ps,what is lg optimus z?never heard of it.

I have the lg optimus g for sprint, it has the stock rom, 4.1.2. I have rooted it recently and got an online site to remote flash it to pageplus. Everything is working fine.
I would like to install a 4.3 rom on this phone. Would the rom installation mess up the pageplus flash?
Don't know..this ain't sprint section. What part of the main title Lg Optimus G(International) made you post here?. Not to mention,there is a sticky thread above,mentioning this is not AT&T/SPRINT. Still you managed to ignore all of these and posted anyway. Nice.

Is it really hard to understand this ain't SPRINT Section?!
Greetings to all
So I might be getting my hands on an Optimus LTE (model SU640) soon, but since development for it is not as active as AT&T's Nitro HD (P930), I want to know whether the ROMs for those 2 devices are universal.
Now, before some of you call it impossible, I have gone ahead and done some research on both Chinese and English websites:
1) LU6200 has a MSM8660 CPU, so ROMs are strictly not universal; but SU640 and P930 share the same APQ8064 CPU.
2) They even share the same baseband - I've read many examples where SU640 was flashed a P93x baseband and got better signal.
3) I've even seen an example where someone directly flashed a P930 ROM onto SU640, WiFi and rotation are broken at first, but after flashing a kernel from SU640, everything is said to be okay.
4) I heard there's a patch that converts P930 ROMs to SU640 ones.
5) P930 can also flash a SU640 ROM without much issue - I saw someone booted a stock SU640 ROM on a P930.
So can anyone share their ideas/experiences with flashing P930 ROMs onto SU640 (and vice versa)? Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys.
Am just wondering has anyone gotten the LG Optimus G Pro with a working Sim ToolKit/ STK.APK.
I have the F240L model running LG G2V5 custom, it and the original firmware that came with phone(V10V) dont have a working STK.
It doesnt even show up on the apps menu, but i can see its running through the SETTINGS-->APPS-->ALL RUNNING APPS.
If you do have a working one. What model are you using and are you on official or custom firmware.
I need this as in my country the operators use this t offer special features.
Thanks.
Same thing happen to my phone. Stk.apk will not work outside korea unless modefied it.
My Sim tool kit works perfectly ...using at&t e980 outside of US , unlocked, stock 4.1.2 10k rom
