I've observed that quite a few people with the model number E988 have been having trouble in the modding(?) process. Mostly from due to unlocking and flashing a custom recovery via FreeGee (no offense intended to the maker of FreeGee)
So out of curiosity, before I have to unecessarily attempt the dreadful Recovery process again, have any of you guys managed to flash a custom ROM on your E988? If so, how?
(sorry mods if this is in the wrong forum).
I have flashed and used almost all the roms available in the original dev section.......no problems what so ever...... only one rom was problematic....... that is the PA port........ though not mandatory, keep the modem zip handy.......

Install cwm and disable lg security via freegee...and install rom without flashing modem is ok...working..only change apn..
But you can't back to stock rom without flashing kdz..
Once you reboot you can install rom via cwm but can not enter stock rom...

Looks like freegee does not work anymore. E986 or E988. Alternatives? Thanks.

FreeGee works fine on E988. I own one (Indian variant) and I can vouch for it. All you have to do is select "No" on the disable LG security option. CWM will get installed just fine. And since the FreeGee recovery is lokified, you are good to go for any rom including 4.3 ones. Like I said in my previous reply, I have used almost all the roms available in the Original DEV section. Only the PA port causes issues with the signal reception. Rest all work fine. If you are facing problems, be specific and I will try to help.....

For know I am on stock kitkat (e98820c_twn_XX) and freegee don't work.

Hello,
i ordered a e986 today and when i get it i want to install cyanogenmod. On my S3 and Xperia Z it wasnt a Problem but with the e986 im a bit confused.
Is the e986 supported by FreeGee or not? Sometimes i read yes and others say that it doesnt work.

Sure, but it gave me a boot loop. How come that it works for one but not for the other ?
That doesnt sound good. But were u able to fix the bootloop?

I have cwm installed too. It's great to have unless you want to flash roms..You CAN'T FLASH CUSTOM ROMS with this cmw, only mods. Since I am satisfied with the stock rom that I debloated I use it only to create backups and I flashed the hide qslide mod. :good:
When the led buttons light up I push the quick note or home button to get to cmw. But you have to be fast

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.

I didn't follow the suggested procedure you are referencing, so can't help you much with that. However, here is an alternative (some additional relevant info here, and several posts down the thread). No need to flash a complete stock from KDZ, and no need to reflash a baseband after that (you just keep the original one). I chose the Epsilon ROM, but basically, after you unlock your BL and have a custom recovery installed, you can flash a custom ROM from recovery. Actually, come to think of it, I never had to flash any KDZs on my OG -- didn't have any reason to. Not saying my conversion method is better, as the consensus seems to be to go with the KDZ flash, but it worked for me. As usual, no guarantees, and YMMV...

Alrighty, here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=20
Just download the one for your model.
If you are planning to flash a Custom AOSP based rom, or something like that, make sure you first:
1. Properly root
2. Unlock Bootloader with an app called "Freegee" on the Google Play store, also BACKUP YOUR EFS, you can find some pretty good tutorials around here on how to do that, you can also back them up with Freegee, but personally I prefer backing them up manually, just to be sure.
3. Use Freegee to flash CWM or TWRP both available from within the app.
NOTE: To flash Stock roms you will need to follow the instructions on this threads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010624

thanks friend got the looks that charitable spirit, I am also willing to help in what little is! :highfive:
I have bought an unlocked LG Optimus G Pro and am using it on T-Mobile. It's on JB version 4.1.2. I know AT&T has rolled out KitKat upgrade for Optimus G Pro. I tried to update the software on my phone but it kept saying "Phone not registered to network". I went to LG support page and they redirected me to AT&T for software upgrade. There is no manual download link for the upgrade and AT&T page says it will happen OTA and must have active sim card in it[which I guess means Active ATT sim card].
My question is:
->Is it possible to upgrade it to 4.4.2 version that AT&T has pushed without being on AT&T?
->If so, where can I find the stock/untouched 4.4.2 ROM?
Thanks in advance. Sorry, if this is a repeat question but I did search the threads and didn't find this question anywhere.
Its not completely untouched, but its stock 4.4.2 with a few added features like Slide Aside:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2781401
To install this you need to be rooted and have clockworkmod recovery installed. (This will void your warranty!)
If you install this rom on the international version make sure you delete the modem.img in the zip before flashing throught cwm.
But never install the firmware (kdz) from another model with the lg flash tools, i tried this once and it Hard Bricked my phone
But if you like AT&T bloat and dont want a few more G2 features you can ty this rom:

Thank you very much. Never rooted Android, will look in to the links you have sent to try to figure something out!
But if you dont want to get any trouble with the first rom i sent you should delete the recovery.img, aboot.img and the modem.img because without this i figured out that it can cause Problems where the phone does not either boot or go in recovery. I just want to save you from this Problem because it can be tricky to restore the phone with the LG flash Tool.
