FIXED: I needed to unlock the boot loader. Let that be a lesson to you.
I have the AT&T LG E980 and want to upgrade to the CM11 firmware. My device is rooted and has recovery installed. When I try to install CM11, I get status error 7 and the firmware reports that it's compatible only with E980 (et al) devices.
Do I need to do the workaround with notepad and edit the specified text file? Is there a check I can do to make sure I'm doing this right?
thanks,
eah

i have a rooted f180k.i already unlocked the bootloader with freegee, however i cannot find any compatible custom recovery,eg cwm. how can i install e975 european rom on my phone? please explain im new to android
lol, enter the download mode -> flash E975.kdz -> Profit
You dont need root, custom recovery or unlocked bootloader for this.
FreeGee installs a recovery.
why you would Flash a KDZ which is not for your Phone?
flashing e975 kdz to f180l is possible but be reminded that your network signal may become problematic like my phone, im still stuck with ics 4.0.4 because whenever i update to f180l 4.1.2 via ota my network signal is lost, already tried flashing e975 rom and f180l baseband but to no avail..

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.....

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!
Hello,
Today I tried to convert my Korean version of LG Optimus G to E975 using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487209 but I can not go farther than step nr. 1 because when I open this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320817 and try to download Baltics KDZ file it does not download. What can I do to solve this problem?
Please HELP! :/

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...

I rooted mine using this method.
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.

Ouch!!!!
I am a root n00b. Is there any thread that can guide me to how to root, how to install a ROM and how to revert back to original rom in step by step way :S
Sorry for this question, but seems like XDA has become too big to search these smaller things now

Thanks! I bought a brand new Sprint LG G2 and used 1.62FacedRom to flash it for T-Mobile and is working perfectly even though i have a feeling the speaker output is very low.
Hi there! I've just tried to flash the latest nightlie to my device (LG Optimus G E-975) and got this error (Screenshot). Any idea how could I fix it? Thanks for your help
PS: I'm using the latest version of TWRP (Official) you could see that in the screenshot.
the second one here is the latest https://mirrors.c0urier.net/?dir=android/Dadi11/Required files/Recovery
also flash this https://mirrors.c0urier.net/?dir=android/Dadi11/Required files/Bootloader Update
Hi! Thanks for the revovery and bootloader, I flashed both of them, but still got the same error when trying to flash the ROM. I think it has something to do with the device's name "This package is for device: e975; this device is geehrc4g." Do you know how to fix that?
