Hi all.
I've recently purchased an LG Optimus G (F180K) through an online reseller. The phone was unlocked and works on my local carrier. Please excuse me if the following problems have already been answered in other forums but this is my first smartphone (moving from a Nokia XPressMusic 5530) and I'm having difficulty understanding all this talk about flashing and basebands and what not.
I want to know how to update it to Jelly Bean since Android 4.1.2 has already been released for the F180K in South Korea. Software Update reports that I'm using the latest update available. I see that there are stock 4.1.2 ROMs available for the F180K in the forums. Would installing that be different from updating through official channels? Also, my lockscreen shows the dual roaming clock and I am unable to change it as the settings are greyed out when I check under Global Roaming. Does anyone know how to change this? I've searched around and someone suggested to manually edit settings.apk or something similar to that but I don't know how to go about it. Lastly, I want to get rid of the pre-installed Olleh apps and remove the Korean characters from the dialler. It would also be nice to get English versions of QVoice and the other LG apps.
I would really appreciate it if someone could walk me through these things. Thank you very much in advance.

which stock rom would you recommend for use in Italy?
this can reset the factory unlocked?
If I understand correctly it is recommended the panama, right!
Download the Rom You Want! Choose your model, or if you wanting to flash the AT&T E980 to international version choose an E980H Model, The Panama E980H rom is Highly Recomended one
Thanks all

Mine is with the stock at&t software and it shows exactly 23,30 GB
A question: Does the Panama rom contain greek language? Might be something like this: Ελληνικα

Hi to all of you !
i am belong to Pakistan and i am using Lg Optimus G E-975, Manufacture company/country: Lg Electronics Inc. / Korea. Hardware Version : Rev. 1.1, Android 4.1.2, Kernal 3.4.0 Software Version: E97510g-EUR-xx, Build number: Epsilon Project - 03.
I want to upgrade my android version from 4.1.2 to any other android version especially kitkat.. so, it can be smoothly run on my handset..
i used LG Mobile Support Tool. It says Update Available for your handset 1130.39Mbyte, its too big file when i start downloading it gave me 7 hours estimated downloading time and the problem is that in Pakistan there is a big problem of electricity and i can not complete this downloading..
i don't know how to manual upgrade or is it safe?
i want to add Urdu Language in it also so i can read Urdu Sms or Website ...
please suggest me better and safe way to upgrade ...

Bhai jaan Main bhi Pakistan se hi hun ... you need to root your phone and install a custom recovery CWM is my suggestions although TWRP works fine.... you can install Sling 2.2 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786769 it will take 3 hour if you have one MB ptcl connection if faster connection it will download early and it totally supports Urdu and have many neat features I HOPE IT HELPS
I am also from Pakistan.. 1st make sure that u actually have a E975 model...
Check at the back side of phone underneath the battery, 2nd take a backup of our efs..
A free tool FreeGee from play store can take backup and install cwm recovery... U need to be rooted though already... Sling 2.2.2 is better...

edit:
Lg Server is up again:
here the official E986 kitkat 4.4.2 update:
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW428306432109876543213/E98620A_00.kdz
Some of the things you will get with this E986 firmware upgrade :
+ support for a large number of european languages
+ well working samba server
+ well working Windows "LG On-Screen Phone"
+ knock-off screen
+ free 50 gb cloud storage at "box" and other goodies when registering at "LG Smart World" app
+ adaptive network settings tailored on measure for the european provider landscape .
(There are user reports indicating that LTE services of some smaller providers are not integrated into the system yet)
please see post #4, #5 for further informations as well as cloud storage links to the E986 upgrade
Some general Information:
A majority of the posts here and in other gpro threads come from people that apparently dont use this device .
It is one of the sequels of swiss government's/parapolice's sell-out of LG stakes that they were once keeping. Unfortunately along with this my wife is kept now for the 15th consecutive year fully illegally imprisoned at the vienna airport(where i am right now)
...guess I had to give you an idea where most of the absurdity in this thread comes from.
Sorry
what is the fewest sour kitkat on e986?
deleted:
explanation in the following post
A turkish e986 kitkat update seems to be published.
Where is it available?
Since the e986 update situation is still rather difficult, it would be fine to have a place where relevant information is neatly collected and displayed.
edit:
As reported by smartphenom.com the update was already published in mid july.
Some bizare internet users (but certainly not GPro owners) called it "turkish rom", so that many GPro owners (like myself ) wouldn't be aware of it.
At least we know now for certain that LG did the job and some other bizare people that wanted to harm us E986 owners for reasons we will never understand tried (and still try) to hide it.
luckily this thread is at the point of getting pointless:
here is the inofficial release of the first official e986 kitkat firmware (it supports an amazingly large number of european languages )
the precise version denomination:
E98620a-EUR-XX
From my dropbox:
E98620A_00.kdz
From my Mega account:
E98620A_00.kdz

to get a data/internet connection:
Settings->Tethering & networks->Mobile networks->Access point names->tap menu button->chose "New APN"->fill in the first 2 lines:
do not think too much about it, the software does it for you as soon as there is anything filled into the first 2 lines of the access point settings form;
try something like: mydata
then tap menu button and "save".
note :
APN settings can be easily cleared to prevent unwanted [costly] data connections --> your GPro will then behave like a traditional GSM phone.
let me say the official e986 kitkat update is really good
[and..we all know by now how much better life would taste without illegal preservatives (police ****)]
in case the LG server is too busy:
E98620A_00.kdz
..
the empire strikes back
Very sadly the dark side continues to deny the existence of the very fine E-986 4.4.2 update. [download links in post 4&5]
Have a look at the "kitkat ..soon official" thread to be introduced to contemporary strategies of disinformation.
May the power be with you
so that life gets at least a chance to be good to all of us!
But now it is up again:
here the official software from the lg server

Does it delete the data when i flash this?
Sent from my LG-E986 using XDA Free mobile app
well..
according to my personal experience the data partition will not be overwritten by the LG update software. This is also the reason why a full reset after flashing might help if something doesn't work as it should.
So... it is certainly a good idea to backup as well and as much as possible beforehand.
Hello i flashed the KK rom, but now i have no lte. It is showing that i can only connect with 2g and 3g. Is there a solution?

With Jelly-Bean and Kitkat E-986 stock firmware the 4g option will only show up when your sim-card is allowed to hook into the LTE service.

Now i flashed E98820a...kdz, i got 4 g here.
But only can choose english as language setting.
There must be another reason,why the 4g option isnt present on E98620a turkish rom.

Yes. As it is a flash by lgflashtool it should wipe anything . Dont think you need to do a manual format be4 flashing.

The taiwanese kitkat E98820a seems to me much more faster and smoother
smoother than the turkish kitkat E98620a. But this is my private opinion ?

What I definitely could observe is that the network settings menu on e986 stock kitkat changes with different network providers.
i.e with hutchinson "3" in Austria which doesn't provide 2g/GSM in the more populated areas [and switches to 2G only on the countryside], the "2G only" options disappear from the network settings menu and the network mode pop-up window. [To display them as non available would be more customer friendly, I guess]
Anyway I can't believe that there are GPro users who honestly believe being better off in Europe with a taiwanese firmware.

According to smartphenom.com the firmware was released on july 17, 2014 for the original 'Aturbk' package.
Since people called it consequently "turkish rom" instead of "first firmware release" LG didn`t get any support from the users to withstand the pressure from those police/stasi weirdos that messed up this thing.
I guess in our own interest we shouldn't call this official release "rom" anymore if we want LG to link it to all the other original packages.

What have you done? Did you flash E98620a or E98820a?
If you flash E98620a (turkish) then you might wont see 4g option.
If you flash E98820a (asian) then you will get 4g option but only english language
and some asian languages
I have a very serious doubt, my phone is the LG G7 G710N Korean operator (open), I have instaled the Korean version libre without problem, the question is whether I will have a problem installing the Spanish version G710EM or not, since at if it can be done the other way around (losing some settings and features along the way, like VoLTE). Can someone clarify the matter for me? , Thank you.
PD: I have android version 10 (30d Korean).
