Hi Guys! Just sharing the mod that I learned while doing my best on localizing my phone to e975 from F180 K/L/S
Disclaimer: Follow this at your own risk, I am not responsible if your phone got bricked or what. This is the first time that I will write my own guide for changing the roms,
No need to change FW to e975
No need to update baseband since you will not loose your signal.
Just follow the steps I made.
1. make sure you are already on stock FW F180 K/L/S if not you can download if from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320817
2. Format your phone by turning it off first, press and hold volume down then press power button until format option shows up. Then press power button twice to initiate format of your phone.
3. Root your phone using this method (since this one works for me):
http://vulnfactory.org/public/motochopper.zip
3.1 Extract the entire contents of the zip file.
3.2 If you are using Windows, ensure you have installed the latest Samsung USB drivers available for your phone.
3.3 Ensure USB Debugging mode is enabled on your device.
3.4 Connect your device to your PC via USB.
3.5 If you are using Windows, navigate to the extracted directory and execute "run.bat". If you are using Linux or OS X, navigate to the extracted directory in a terminal and execute "./run.sh".
3.6 Approve the ADB connection from your PC on your device
NOTE: your phone will restart and make sure to open the superSU first to update the binary, if update failed,
download framaroot on google and transfer it from pc to your phone via USB.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
4. download FREEGEE on google play, make sure it will be allowed by SuperSU and unlock the device.
choose the CWM touch for the recovery on dropdown menu, wait till it is done.
5. download the latest version here on your pc:
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=e975 - for custom ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387878 -GAPPS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2312735 -Kite kernel
transfer it via USB to your phone.
6.turn off your phone, access the recovery menu by holding down the volume up button then press and hold power button 'till fastboot appears, press volume down button twice and then power button.
7. look for install from sd card, select option 1, look for the (rom name.zip) install it first before the GAPPS and the kernel.
8. If having error while updating (status 7) follow the steps here to resolve:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302599
9. try to reinstall the modified rom, if success install kernel.zip and GAPPS.zip via recorvery, if not try to repeat step 8 and make sure that as you zip your file it is not inside a folder.
10. reboot your phone! if it takes 10 min while booting on new cyanogen mod, turn off the phone by holding the power button, access recovery again, format the phone, and cache as well.
11. reboot the phone! Enjoy your new E975 device!
CREDITS to all of the author of the threads I used!
Thanks to all of you guys!!!
Just comment and say thanks if it works for you!
This is for custom ROM. If u want stock use Epsilon

Status 6
Thanks for posting this. really helped a lot on rooting this phone. Since i get a lot of different approaches to root and flash roms on this phone, specially with the conversion from f180L to E975.
For those who get a status 6 on flashing. here's what i did to fix the issue. Edit update-script with notepad++ to see the special characters within the script. Here is the rest of the instruction thanks to illtown: "All you need to do is change the Windows newlines with the Unix ones. You can do it easily with Notepad++. So open the script, click the "Show All Characters" icon (you should see the newlines here), then navigate to "Edit-->EOL Conversion-->Convert to UNIX Format" and that's it. Finally, you should end up with single LFs. And don't forget about encoding, should be ANSI."

firstly u need to know what bands your phone supports OK? then u need to know what frequencies your operator broadcasts and using and check if is avaiable in your area
Please read;
The first picture is with official (korean) F180S firmware
shows that my phone ''MANUALLY'' searched all avail. networks in my area and as u can see found (specific) my 3 network broadcast L/W L is lte and W is WCDMA 234 20 is GSM (it is identification for specific my network http://wammu.eu/tools/networks/?country=234)
The second image is official (europe) E975 firmware
shows that phone ''MANUALLY'' searched all avail. networks in my area and as u can see phone didn't find 4G/LTE service only W L is missing .. so by converting korean mobiles with europe software we losing LTE/4G that is why all people facing this problem
I can't to connect to 4G/LTE right now bcos my operator wont't let me yet it is avail for testers and technicians bcos my operator launching 4G/LTE at the end of this month or next month .. they still postponing it ..

This is a 2 in one Guide!
1.For If you have the International Variant F240S, F240L, E986, E988, E989, ETC to flash back to stock in case of brick of it you just want to be back to the phone was when you first got it
2.And also this Same Guide can be used to Flash the Telcel E980h Firmware on the AT&T E980, The Advantage to do that is its more close to stock than the AT&T firmware, No stupid 4G/4G LTE AT&T Data Icons, They will now be 3G/H/4G/LTE the stock icons!, and Tethering should work perfect with no modding. Seems to run a lot smoother and better than the AT&T Firmware as well!
3. This Guide Can now be used to Flash TOT files as I have now included it
I`m not responsible for any mess ups! Be sure you back up your EFS to just be safe!, If your flashing what is supposed to be on your phone then you should be fine and wont have too.
I AM AWARE about my links, I`m currently working on my server and it will be back shortly... If your looking for the AT&T E980 KitKat TOT here it is:
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Stock/AT&T/
KDZ Flashing Method:
The Files are Hosted on my server for fast speeds! Most if not all NEEDED KDZ files are on my Server
1). Download all The Files Below!
1). Firmware Files HERE!
2) Download LG Drivers - LG Drivers Here - 10.9 Mb
3) Download LG Flash Tool 2014 tool and extract - LG_Flash_Tool_2014.zip - 3.1 Mb
4) Enter to Download Mode and plug USB into your PC
5) Run LGFlashTool2014.exe and do as following pictures :
(If you cannot run LGFlashTool2014.exe, please install Visual C++ Runtime Library) - VC_RedistInstaller.exe - 47.7 Mb
Normal Flash: Flash ROM without losing any data. Only use this when you need to fix system error. Beware of boot loop when flashing ROM that differ from current ROM on your phone or MOD ROM.
CSE Flash: Choose this option when you need a fresh format. All data will be gone. It's suitable for upgrading or downgrading ROM or simply use this when you need to back to Stock.

3. Extract the TOT file from the ZIP
When LG Flash Tool is installed, do not launch it.

Panama or Claro E980H Currently Is the Best for USA users its more stock international as it has no rom modifications like AT&T does to Tethering and Data Icons at the top!
If you like my Findings and me risking my phone trying these to get you a good rom thats mostly stock compaired to the AT&T rom Fee free to Buy Me a Beer and Or Coffee As I am finally Legally able to buy it in my country As I am 21 Today Aug 31st! haha.
We can also flash international roms like feiyu we just have to flash our baseband right after. I tested feiyu v10 and everything worked. Just their super user app and a couple others didn't translate. Other then that everything works including data. Just make a backup before doing so

Yea I know we can flash international roms, But This is not modified or touched in anyway. This is the EXACT flash you would use to flash the international versions of the phone. These are factory images/Roms. These are not flashed via recovery these are flashed in a way like LGFlashTool. Also If you dont root this you can most likely get OTA updates for it as well! And you don`t have to be rooted or flash recovery for this.
Flashing this is what LG Made.
Also When Flashing the Telcel image you dont need the baseband it works as it.,
Interesting. And data works fine?

Depends on which one you used I`m not sure never tested it on any other than the E980.
The list of what I have is
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Stock/
hyelton said:
So far this has ONLY been tested on the AT&T LG-E980 but may work on others! Root and CWM is NOT required for this!
I`m not responsible for any mess ups! Be sure you back up your EFS to just be safe!
Tommrow : Aug 26th I`ll be back home and can test more International roms but so far it seems that the Telcel Stock Rom will be the best one for the people who have the AT&T E980 as it a FULLY English Rom! Telcel is a cell phone carrier in Mexico which carries a LG-E980H which is pretty much the same as our E980!
How To Guide:
How to flash ROM:
1) Download the Rom You Want! (Currently Just the Telcel) (unless someone wants to test another one)
ROM Download is at the Bottom of the Guide
2) Download LG mobile support tool and Install it. (It will open up when its done just CLOSE IT OFF)
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe
3) Download / Install FlashTool (R&D Test Tool)
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Programs/
4) Install LG drivers (can skip if you already installed)
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Programs/
5) Power off your G pro, press Volume Up + Volume Dn keys and then plus-in the usb cable (enter to a download mode)
6) Extract FlashTool and run UpTestEX.exe
7) In R&D Test Tool window,
Select Type = 3GQCT (top left hand side)
PhoneMode = DIAG (top right hand side)
Select kdz file = click to select your LG stock rom *.kdz
Click "Normal web upgrade test" (bottom right hand side)
Then another window "read phone information" pop up, click "Upgrade Start" button
wait a few seconds, another window "Select Country & Language" pop up,
=> Country=Republic of Korea
=> Language=English
you can click ok to proceed
8) All Done and wait for finish!
9) Be Sure that after flashing to perform a reset as for some reason flashing this does not remove what was there before until you reset.
The Downloads should be fast they are hosted on my server!
Rom Downloads
Telcel E980H: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Stock/Telcel+E980h/
Here is a link to the rest of the Roms, Which I HAVE NO TRIED YET SO BE WARNED! :
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Stock/
Telcel Rom Currently Is the Best for USA users, It does have Telcel stuff but its more stock international as it has no rom modifications like AT&T does to Tethering and Data Icons at the top and locking settings as Telcel does not!
Just a Note: I do not care for the modifed theme on the launcher but I think it can be fixed by either using a different included them or just load the optimus theme from the AT&T Version or Korean Version and it should look better Its just a personal preference
Also Tethering should work with no issue tethering plan or not on the rom as well!
To Get Data to work you will need to input the APN of your carrier. Also for the AT&T E980 if you want to here is the download link to the baseband which is recomended but not fully required and in which you would need to root and install CWM after flashing this to be able to flash the baseband, Download Link: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Modems/AT&T+E980+Baseband/

Hello I have recently moved to android bought Lg-f180.
Well i tested everything and it was working fine except for the edge
I bought it and factory reset it
After that im encountering so many problems
Most strange is sometimes its sensonrs start working and sometimes they dont
I did a reset again and all sensors stopped working
Now few are working and few are not.
On AndroSensor few sensors are on "waiting for event"
The rom in this phone is not korean, its Vietnamese 4.1.2
It was pre installed
Is this a hardware fault or software?
What should i do?
Also on imei.info model is swift f180 (how do u know if its K,l or S?)

Any pre-requistes as in backing up something (efs or kernel)and how?

Thanks bro I did manage to flash stock rom easily, it did fix some senors but all the motion sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, linear acceleration and orientation) are not working!
anything else I should try before concluding its a hardware fault?

Try a hard reset. If it still occurs, better send to repair.

I've just noticed when battery went below 30% few more sensors stopped working and when i recharged and restarted it they were functional.
but no luck with motion sensors.
also I have noticed Bluetooth Mac Address is "unavailable" though its working just fine.
could this has to do something with kernel?

Hmmm. Then try any custom roms, like vanir or mokee, I have no problem with my sensors. If worse comes to worst, your phone is hardware bricked.

I have converted to E975 and now using CM11.
my sensors still showing same behaviour worked for a while then phone crashed on launching camera app and sensors stopped.
someone told me it could be kernel problem
what do you suggest, what kernel should I flash on cm11 (4.4.2)
or should I flash some other custom rom aswell?

Right now I have not tried CM 11, since I am running VANIR for geehrc. I suggest try it, then report back here. Do full wipes, then just flash the ROM and GAPPS. Don't flash a separate kernel. Then tell me what happens.

Is it really that easy to soft brick this phone? I'm planning on getting mine next week(maybe 2 weeks, depends on wether i can find it cheap here or if i would have to order it from the states). What rom are you using? have you tried the official kitkat rom from korea? I've read the thread about it and things seem to be working. Another question, with that rom does internal storage is reduced to 16 gigs on the E980 or does it stay at 32 gigs?
Sorry for the off topic.

I check on here everyday and everyday I see report of softbrick. Most people are able to use the flash tool to restore back to stock tho, I just don't wanna fool with it. I'm using the V5 rom. No, I haven't tried the official update for the Korean model. Yea, some people are able to make it work but you don't know how many steps they took , also their steps aren't consolidated in a way that's clear for people that don't know what they are doing to follow. I also read like you may need to switch recovery for different steps of the process, that sounds like a pain. There is a fix to make it 32 but you'll have to read through the pages to find it
Edit : I feel what makes it difficult is the rom is done by someone that speaks much pretty no English, there is not much communication between the community and the developer.
Edit2: if you want it cheap. You can buy one with broken front glass and replace it. I bought mine for 150, 25 for the digitizer, and just did the glass replacement today, it wasn't bad

some users from other forum also reported the bricking E988.
according to other user from Sonyue forum
1.pressing volume+ and volume- and then connecting the usb cable can flash KDZ.
2.after KDZ it'll start reboot.
3.pressing power for 10 sec, and then enter the LG recovery.
4.double wipe (or triple wipe. im not sure. )
(however, the screen won't work till you finish those steps )
Looks like this relying on foreign sources thing isn't really working out. People are really bricking

You have a E980?
Use LG Flash Tool WITH Mega Lock dll
Plus you need 2 files a TOT and dll
RENAME the dll file with the model you phone thinks it is.
Now do the normal procedure of the LG Flash Tool and your dll and TOT
Done.

Hi. I found the MIUI 4.8.1 based on E975 20A Thailand firmware in Android development thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/opt...-miui-v5-4-8-1-based-stock-lg-kitkat-t2839043
here is link.
I have F180K korean model. When I flash this rom, it successfully boot. But it says 'no service' and cannot find carrier.
How can I fix it? Any other roms which are based on E975 stock firmware like ARTMOD 4.1ST etc. is available to flash, but always communication error.

Stock rom use different ril library for different model, If you want to try you can replace /system/lib/libril-qc-qmi-1.so with F180K Kitkat rom. And maybe /system/etc/telephony.xml. I'm not sure it'll work.
But what I did is compare all files from 2 roms and get all different file to make a patch. It works for my patch to change from Thai firmware to German. (I also change kernel but I don't think there are anything relate to mobile signal in it)
Thanx

Please try ARTMOD and edit sqlite table to make sure that it not my rom bugs. If that method is not work on that rom, maybe you miss something importance about F180K and e975 convertion. Maybe other F180 user can give your more info.
And if you can use logcat other member may help you verify what is error. Make sure that you enable use debug on phone.
adb logcat > debug.log
Or use catlog to show log on phone.
As i remember 2 years ago korean users, like me, had problems with the signal on roms different than korean stock.
I dont remember how exactly it was done, but the core action was to change provider checking mode from SIM/RUIM to NV/SIM/RUIM.
Or vice-versa, cause i dont remember that correctly lol.

Um... I see that NV setting in CDMA option in MIUI worldwide phone setting and I enable that selection in my rom next update. Not sure this will solve this signal problem or not.
@ruddnr951, Maybe you should play with LG hidden menu and see what difference between Mobile network default setting in e975 and F180 kdz.

sorry. I currently do not use MIUI rom so I can not help you. try my method on ARTMOD 4.1 rom, it will work fine. ARTmod 4.1 rom is better MIUI rom 4.8.1.
I had purchased a supposedly international unlocked LG g3 D855 32gb from eBay. Currently I am running kitkat 4.4.2 rooted rom which came pre-installed on the phone and it's rooted. There is no update center on my phone.
Underneath the battery it's written "MADE IN KOREA"
Now I want to update it to lollipop or may be marshmallow but the problem is that I can't find which version of rom to flash as there are lots of D855 models in market there is European version, Korean version, Hong Kong version, Indian version. There is no clear indication on the box or on the phone abt the version is there any sure shot way of knowing what rom should I flash as I can't take risk of hard / soft bricking the phone. I am attaching screen shot of software version.
Please help

Hi
LG G3 D855 is the European version of the G3. Download LG Phone From app and run it and it will inform you of your phone details. There are 2 serial nos. the 2nd one will give you the phone region/carrier e.g. My G3 has AGBRVK which designates UK Virgin Mobile.
Hope this helps.

In xda if you search you will find lots of refubrish Lg g3 phone,basically D850 or ls990 model number and they use their recovery model firmware for successful update. Basically what i understand seller did nothing special he root the phone edit build.prop file to change model number and other information . Before selling he just unroot or uninstall supersu. But flashing is up to you , if you know how to flash phone or want to take chance than you can try it, otherwise just ignore it.
