Did you OVER THE AIR =O.T.A. update YOU CAN still Root/RECOVERY BUT YOU MUST DOWN GRADE FIRST AS OF MAY 2013
This works on all Canadian variants of the lg optimus g 2600 lte phones.
If you root you can not OTA update.
If you root and flash to any version of jellybean OTA= over the air update is no longer needed.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU ERASE YOU FAMILY HISTORY OR REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THE GENE-POOL
I did not develop or create this i just merged it so it would work.
USB debugging must be turned on found in settings then development check-mark USB debugging then plug in you phone LG drivers must be installed found here http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?3p6u1bq776bdbzi
If you have issues with getting in to recovery i did try QUICKBOOT found here http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?g4g37gwd6y99urb or download from Google play
1. Download: lg e971.zip http://d-h.st/HsU
2. Extract it
:cyclops:Update not tested i have added the files to e971.zip or download the the ZV9-ZVB-Universal-Root Posted by fiddy619 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181103
ZV9-ZVB-Universal-Root Update run CurrentRoot.bat first if it works go to freegee.bat then continue to step 8.
3. Run: RunMe.bat ignore restore instructions skip with back button
4. Run: Root.bat
5. Download busybox from the market and install it then run it
6. Transfer: cwm6027touch_v14.4.6_geebus.zip in the found LG e971 folder to your internal SD-card not in a folder in main directory.
7. Run: Freegee.bat once complete you are now ROOTED with CUSTOM RECOVERY
NOTE: This CUSTOM RECOVERY DOSE NOT WORK WELL AT ALL continuing with next step to update the custom recovery.
NOTE: To enter custom recovery shut phone off then press vol up+down+power at the same time you will see fastboot hit vol down twice you won't see anything happen on the fastboot screen hit power it will reboot to custom recovery.
8. Install zip from internal SD-card look for cwm6027touch_v14.4.6_geebus.zip in your main directory then flash it.
Now you can flash ANY Stock 4.1.2 ROM OR 4.01 ROM
Recommendation for Rogers use this Stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean LG-E973/1/5/0 Canada / At&t / Int'l Edition found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2127346 Thank houstonn for this if you want to donate http://forum.xda-developers.com/donatetome.php?u=4852479
:cyclops:UPDATE: CM10 based roms will boot loop or just not boot due to a partition issue you must downgrade to shipped revision d not e kdz then full root/boot loader unlock then flash what you want. :cyclops:
FYI I bricked my phone once then restored it just to get this done.
After 10 hrs of playing around with all i could find in the forums i found this to work.
I have repeated these steps on 3 more phones for other owners and it works great.
Now i have no bloatware removed LG-Ui removed LG Email and Google Mail using enhanced email for faster push intervals Full nova launcher custom kernel and pimped with pimp my ROM for added tweaks and flashed g-now
IF YOU BRICKED OR WISH TO RESTORE OR DOWNGRADE
:cyclops:NEEDED FOR ANY CM10-ASOP/AOKP ROMS
E97110D_00.KDZ downgrade here http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?rhe7im3hbznow5t
:cyclops:NEEDED FOR ANY JELLY 4.1.2 ROMS
E97110E_00.KDZ O.T.A. update here http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?rkyevf6rrmypdwr
Put your Optimus G into Download Mode by switching it off, attaching the usb cable to the phone, holding both the up and down volume buttons at the same time and lastly inserting the usb cable into the computer; wait for the drivers to finish loading if doing it for the first time.
Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe. Use the settings below
Type: 3GQCT
Phone Mode: CS_Emergency
Navigate to the folder which you have saved the downloaded KDZ file
Click Launch Software Update and wait for the flash process to finish
Your phone will restart itself when complete
If you get stuck on the lg logo perform a factory reset volume down power at the same time release power at logo hold volume until you see factory reset then power twice
This proses is the same for downgrade E97110D_00.kdz is the downgrade file and is necessary to flash and run any CM10 based rom because of partition settings and if you downgrade root and fregee is all that you need and i recommend the downgrade its more compatible with custom roms
NONE OF THE SOFTWARE USED IS MINE AND FOR THOSE WHO CREATED IT I THANK-YOU FOR YOU CONTINUED WORK AND DEDICATION if you know who they are and this helped donate to them not to me THANK-YOU
I AM AM JUST A TESTER TRYING IT ALL UNTIL I GET WHAT I WANT FROM MY DEVICE
Screen shots of what i have now below :good:
My 2 Cents= "If you asked for free advice and got what you paid for ? don't complain."
1st. Never upload something to dropbox if you want to distribute on public. It will rape your bandwidth allocation and you will get a warning and your dropbox public download will be cutted.
2nd. You didnt need to include your own backup file. Freegee will do the backup anyway and this might be confusing to the user if it says it failed but still have the backup done. This will also decrease significantly the size of the archive.
3rd. There is no developement done here. it's simply a re-zip of multiple package already found in this forum.
thanks for the info on drop box
and i did not claim it was anything i created or developed other than a workaround and the back up is from the developer of freegee and has been removed.
Wow

Happy to report that I am rooted thanks to the info provided here!!
I am currently running an unlocked E971(Rogers) on the bell(E973) network.
Software Version: E97110e (latest 4.0.4 firmware for E971)
Thanks for the Thread!
THIS THREAD NEEDS MORE ATTENTION!!!!
QUICK AND EASY ALL IN ONE ROOT AND BOOTLOADER UNLOCK WITHOUT A NEED TO DOWNGRADE SOFTWARE, OR DO ANY KDZ WORK OF ANY KIND! (something I still am unsure how to do)
Thanks a TON kentek. I put off rooting this phone and unlocking the booloader because of all the software downgrading and different soft brick possibilities with OTA's and other things. This made things SUUUUUPER easy.
It almost scary how easy it was, lol. I think you should include a little bit more information in the OP however. Things like "USB debugging" must be turned on. Even instructions on how to boot the phone into recovery. Personally I use quick boot. Maybe recommend people root first, then install QuickBoot before unlocking with freegee, as an easy way to get into the CWM that freegee installs. Then you can use quickboot to get into recovery and update it to sk8ers touch recovery (the BEST recovery ive ever used across numerous devices.)
Anyway..... Thanks again kentek, and hopefully more people who were having trouble, or like me, hesitant to do anything, will see this thread and have their freedom granted as quick and easy as I did.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTT!!!!!!!
ATRIXXIRTA I took your advice and did just that thank you for the props.
? Hows the weather up there still no snow here.
Re: Rogers e971 Root with update work around found and bootloader unlock with cwm upd
Ahhhh. Now THATS an OP! lol.
With the explanation so thorough now, nobody should have any issues. Just the more in-depth info about how freegee works. One of the things I was trying to find out was whether or not freegee replaced your recovery. Even the video on the freegee official thread doesn't explain ANYTHING. Just shows the guy booting into recovery, with no mention of the replacement cwm touch. You've pretty much made it fool proof now!
The weather here has been ridiculous. Its +12 one day, -10 the next. Its plague weather for sure, lol. Its funny, I'm literally on my way to Niagara right now as I type this. So I'll be passing through your neighborhood in about an hour, haha. I'll check out your weather as I pass through, lol.

To the OP, I wanted to thank you for posting all the information in an easy to follow manner. I can confirm that I am now rooted even though I had applied the latest OTA update from rogers prior attempting this method. Only tricky part was getting into recovery mode.. it should be "Hold the Volume UP & power buttons at the same time."
So will using this method to root and unlock bootloader cause me to lose the OTA function?
I'm on Rogers e971 with latest OTA update. I would like root so i can get back to using Titanium, but i'm not sure if i want to sacrifice my ability to run future OTA updates.

You still gets OTA with root. You can't update only if your bootloader is unlocked.

As soon as official updates are released, there's always a flashable .zip released within a week. Hell, were flashing the official update based on the Korean version of the software AND hardware, which are both slightly different. I wouldn't worry too much about ota's, lol.

Sent from my LG-E973 using Tapatalk 2
Turn off phone. Press vol up+power.You will enter fastboot mode. Then press 2 times volume down and after that, press power. Voila, your phone will reboot in recovery mode.
OR you could install quickboot app from market and you will have advanced reboot menu.
Of course,there are many apps to do this,but quickboot is the most simple and it's free.
Rom toolbox,rom manager, titatium backup and so much more can do the same ....

Hi
I am already rooted and unlocked can I use freegee and hit ''unlock my optimus g'' ?
What will happen?
thnx
Thermonuclear war.
One question,how did you unlocked the bootloader without freegee?we are not talking about nerwork/simlock. We are talking about bootloader.do you even know what is the bootloader and why is it locked?i see you ask alot of chaotic questions my friend and i advise you to stop.
Please start doing some reading on how an android device works,especially the G.then read about tweaking possibilities and read multiple times.make sure understand what you are reading amd only then you can attempt to try something.

dont understand u talking tome such horrble way ?!?! do u know me?
what u think who am I some stupid kid?
a bit of respect i would like to see from you ! OK?!?!
for first i flashing phones debranding repairing , replacing parts , soldering , etc ,,
And been CONFUSED from ALL phones because the way of modifying is all the way different ..
And I gathering info to properly find way how to sucesfully flash customized ROMS !
So be nice and dont abuse me with these kind of attack replies
Thnx !
Firstly ! If u so experienced how come u don't know how to root and unlock LG optimus G /F180L
I have F180L converted to E975 .. So I used KDZ's and other way to root device and replace baseband etc..
And now I want to try this ''so much ''adored'' ROM called CyanogenMod 10.1 ..
So now u know WHY I am asking ALL THIS !
Will be wery happy if I 'll get some support here ..
I haven't found here NOT EVEN ONE person only ignorants which are lazy to explain how to..
So I ALWAYS get it done BY MY SELF .. Useless. really ..
If you would've provide this info from the start, it would've been much easier, don't think?
And if you would've use the search function, you'd also find that it has been already discussed several times this matter.
Let's be serious, this section has not than many active threads in order to make difficult a search.
I'm not lazy to help someone,but i will never repeat same answers over and over.I'm not a robot.
And,like i said, you are asking chaotic questions.The guy who opened this thread asked for a E973.You asked for a F180 converted to E975.What do i must understand from this??

E973 is the same as E975 ..
no it's not the same. why do you think they have another number? it's fun, or does any changes exists between 973 and 975?
Hey guys, i want to unlock with free gee but i'm a little nervous. Has anyone used this on 4.12? I get a warning about there being a chance of a bricking if your running JB. By the way, I'm rooted and I have an update pending, that's why i wanna install a recovery. Will i have any issues if I update? Besides losing root, i can only assume.
1.my answer was for eithos,who is very chaotic.
2. E973 has 8 or 13mpx camera?
3.there is no risc in bricking it.the dev placed that warning to be sure you know what you are doing.it's the same warning you get on op of rom thread.the devs are not responsable if anything goes wrong.no one is forcing you to do anything.
Conclusion,freegee is safe and it's working on jb without problem

Maybe I am not following you completely...but why would you try to take an OTA when you are unlocked and rooted?
Second, I don't believe there are any OTA updates for the Vzw One as of yet.
It looks like you attempted to install an update for the European/International HTC One.
Why you are trying to do so, I'm not sure.
But you don't wanna install that, even if you could...

Well, I assumed you had the Verizon HTC One, since you posted in the Vzw One forums.
If you have the International One, you may wanna post in the relevant forums.
Folks will be much more capable of helping you with roms/software intended for your model over there.
The OTA will not install while you are unlocked and running a Custom Recovery.
Try finding a rooted version of the latest OTA version for your device in your device's Development forums.
That would be the best, most appropriate way to update the stock software while staying rooted and unlocked.
Good luck! :good:

Thanks! I haven't yet.
I have gone back and forth about it quite a bit. (still thinking about it every day, lol)
Can't really give up or don't want to give up my Unlimited though.
Since someone was very kind and gave me a DNA a little while back, I may stick with it for now.
Still a vast improvement over the 'ol Thunderbolt, though I loved it too for quite some time.
There has been some talk of some very kind folks pitching in to help me get a One though.
So that way, I can keep my Unlimited and hopefully work on both the One and the DNA in the not too distant future.

This. AND NEVER TAKE AN UPDATE WHEN ROOTED AND HAVE CUSTOM RECOVERY. Lol every single time you boot into recovery it should flash this message as a reminder. Why would anyone take an OTA in all reality?
I successfully flashed the Panama Stock 980H ROM, and I am going to root.
If FreeGee doesn't support it, can I push CWM via ADB?
I haven't done it, but I know it can be done on some devices. Has anyone done in on the LG OG Pro?
FWIW, the data DOES throttle correctly when not using the AT&T modem! (success)

Hi there all, want to first say thanks to all the devs and everyone on this board for all the cool work with LG phones. I'm new to AT&T (from Sprint) and GSM phones after 6 years of HTC phones and roms. Right now I'm on the trial period trying to decide if I will keep this E980 or return it and go with the HTC One, but I really like having the micro sd card over no sd card slot with the HTC One. Anyhow I wanted to post my rookie questions here because I am stuck, looked around and read everything but still unable to get CWM installed.
So far I have
1. Successfully flashed the Panama Stock 980H ROM
2. Successfully rooted
3. Installed FreeGee pro tried clicking unlock "sorry your varient is not supported" when I click install recovery I get FC, tried again this time selecting do not disable LG security, same thing FC? So my question is what dumb thing am I doing wrong, I have to be missing some detail right? Thanks
EDIT: Must of had a bad install the first time, uninstalled, reinstalled, installed CMW no more FC's or errors

Don't try to disable security. Everything else works. Just say I decline or No or whatever.
I believe the Freegee servers are down at the moment. I was unable to install any recoveries yesterday. But the developer is working to update it, so I expect all will be fine soon.
Regarding the unlocking process: From CWM, you should be able to restore an AT&T stock rom back up. Then you can unlock and try your luck with AOSP roms.
hi guys, i got a new HTC ONE M8 from China Mobile 3 days ago, when i got home i realized that it works with Sina Weibo instead of asking me for my google acount like all the previous Android phones i had before, i went to the store asked for a refund.. not happening. I paid 800 bucks for a phone i cant use.. so i went ahead and tried to solve the issue and root it, i followed a threat here every instruction but i messed up somehow and at the end i wasnt able to enter the recovery mode, so i couldnt install the rom i downloaded (this is the guide i followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705292 ) so being unable to do anything i went to a tech today, he charged me 100 bucks to "solve the problem" and he was able to S-OFF the phone and i was finally able to get into recovery mode with TWRP but he said he didnt have any rom cause the phone was too new.. so i came back home where i had the ones i downloaded from the link i posted above... followed the insutrctions and installed the rom, everything seemed to be fine but then when it rebooted, nothing happens, the phone is stuck on fastboot mode and wont load into the operating system, i have tried to reboot a million times, updated the kernel , updated the twrp... still nothing. i am in china and have been trying to find another tech.. no luck at all. can someone help me or give me ideas on what to do? i would really appreciate the help!

You should be able to just flash any GSM ROM unless the Chinese model is a different variant. You could have bricked it, never a good idea to flash incorrect ROM for a device.
May I ask what ROM did you flash and for what device?

What does "totally dead" mean? Any charge LED? Any response when connected to a computer.
Also, not a good idea to dig up a thread from 5 months ago, with limited relevance. The top post did different steps, and was stuck in fastboot, which doesn't sound the same as your situation.
