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.

[Q] help me in installing this rom..

my frnd give me this rom and tld me to flash it
but he didn't mentioned that how to flash it
he gave me 3 files

can anyone say me how to do this???
first of all, make sure your lgog is rooted and unlocked.
then follow the instruction from the thread.. flash the ROM first, then flash the kernel.
but I would suggest you don't do it because by looking at your post, I don't think you know anything about what you intended to do.
read more about custom roms and kernel before trying, don't regret later when you brick your phone..

First, you have to root and unlock your phone. You can skip the flash steps TWRP.
Next, download the file and put 2 Pacman rom and kernel Kite V16 in memory.
Now, reboot the phone and Recovey mode.
wipe done 3 times. Then flash ROM and Kernel 2 files.
Reboot and enjoy.
I suggest using cwm or cwm touch. Twrp gives errors sometimes.

look for FreeGee in market, it will unlock the bootloader and install either CWM / TWRP based on your choice.

try your luck in kite kernel thread, maybe someone have done similar things like what you did and have a solution for that.
I have no idea as I am still using the stock rom and haven't have the intention to flash my phone yet, so din't do much research on it.
Still the same advice, make sure to read & search before start doing anything. Cry won't help when you bricked your phone.

Multi_tools to unlock LOG.
after unlocking bootloader, CWM recovery is available. Put 2 file: Rom.zip and Kernel.zip to sdcard or memory. Reboot to Recovery. Wipe Data, cache,and wipe davik cache.
Flash ROM, flash Kernel. Reboot.

E988 users, have you managed to flash a custom ROM?

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...

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.....

I own G Pro e988 and want to flash Cyanogenmod 11.

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

[Q] E986 FreeGee Yes or No?

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.

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

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

ROM Help

Basically, I can only access my recovery - clockwork mod 6.0.4.4, and I need a working ROM. All the ROMS I tried to install - carbon and cm 12 - aren't compatible with geefhd4g, which is my device (I think it is the build prop or something). I can flash a ROM, but none of them support my device, and I don't have backups. All I need is a working ROM.
Thanks
Can you put device in download mode? If yes then flash stock rom?

Try this.. but first upgrade your recovery to cloudy TWRP which is also given in link. just need this recovery zip and reboot to recovery then flash rom choosing your variant.
