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'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.......
Sent from my LG-E988 using xda app-developers app
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.
Can you describe the steps of using the FreeGee app? And what stock firmware should I use with the freegee app. Should I flash stock Jellybean, root and the install FreeGee?
For know I am on stock kitkat (e98820c_twn_XX) and freegee don't work.
Thank you!
hello! I'm new here, and I wanted to see who was kind enough to provide me a link to the stock rom LG E987 using odin to flash another ROM cyanogenmod and paranoid or something like that. I have a LG E987 single root, then still intact, of course thank you very much :highfive:

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

[guide] install at&t kitkat e980 stock flash + root + recovery - complete wipe !
FOR AT&T LG E980:
Basically, from my experience I put together this guide for anyone who wishes to flash a complete stock AT&T KitKat from .TOT file and the root and add recovery.
All the steps are what I have gathered from around the forums, SO I WILL GIVE CREDIT FOR STEPS THAT ARE OUTLINED BY OTHERS. These people helped by their postings.
FLASHING TOT FILES:
1. The BEST - I think a lot of us can agree - thread for the LG E980 flashing with STOCK firmware is this by HYELTON http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44983841&postcount=1
STOP OVER THERE AND GIVE THE MAN SOME LOVE AND THANKS !!!!
.TOT files and .Kdz files for all versions can be found at Hyelton's thread above. Also, more details for flashing .TOT vs .Kdz files there. Below is some tips from my experience.
Here is the exact TOT file I used: http://www.mediafire.com/download/djjmck2eost77e3/BIN_LGE980AT-00-V20g-ATT-US-APR-28-2014+0.tot
SOME OF MY TIPS: FROM MY EXPERIENCES
2. The only hitch is getting LGFlash Tools and hacking it. I tried the links on Hyelton’s thread but some are now too new to be hackable. For example, one must find the reg key for the new version of LGTools he links to. Megalock.dll is hit-or-miss. There are other ways for sure but I did not bother further.
3. I found that lower versions of LG Flash Tool (v 1.4.1330R) works just fine.
EDIT: The latest version of LG Flash Tools is here http://www.mediafire.com/download/6g1uyoz2zsiqq1c/LG+Phone+Flash+Stuff.rar
And it contains the DLL to be used during flashing. I STRONGLY SUGGEST USING THIS. You MUST -MUST- TURN OFF INTERNET WHEN USING FLASH TOOLS. This pack contains the full software, and dll files. I have flashed using just this package >10 times at least while testing roms
a.Connect phone and let Windows install drivers. In my case, Windows 8 default were just fine.
b.Put your phone in download mode.
c.Connect it to your computer. In case of windows 8 the windows default drivers work fine.
d.Follow Hyelton’s steps.
EDIT: See posts #32and #33 in this thread. Do not go back to download. But wait for fastboot to install. See post #33 for this. Just wait patiently, the phone will reboot to full normal mode/setup screen, then the LG tools will say pass. BE VERY PATIENT.
ROOTING AND RECOVERY:

No Problem.
To do the OTA I guess you went back to complete stock ? Yeah, that is a good option too....! Only, it requires one extra flash (going back to stock!)
Just for info, can you please add the steps to your post.

I went back to pure stock and no custom recovery, then did the 10p update - I found that the update to 10p would not work with other than stock recovery. I then just used the settings query for OTA update, downloaded and installed - all my programs and data were intact after the update, except apps requiring root would not run correctly. I then followed your steps to root. I still have the stock recovery at this point. KitKat runs great.

So when going back to complete stock the 10p, how did you keep apps, settings if you used odin.? Just interested in your procedure since obviously OTA on stock will retain programs and settings.

Honestly, I don't know. I had been flashing lots of different ROMS and then went back the total day 1 stock. I then updated OTA to 10p a couple of months ago and rooted but did not flash a custom recovery. I then heard that 4.4.2 was available, checked via the about link and downloaded. All the apps and data stayed in place. I then rooted and have yet to flash a custom recovery. I'm sorry I can't give you more detail. But I can tell you that I seem to have better battery life, and I had to pair my phone to my car again. Good luck.
i miss network connection
hi, i follow your steps, and it worked, i have KK now on my e980.
but... sometimes i lost my network connection, and it returns in a minute or two
any ideas?

Hey! I can't flash the .TOT, the Flash Tool doesn't recognize port COM41, or any other. I go to device administrator, and there's my phone as port 41, but the Flashing Tool doesn't. Any ideas?!

I guess you changed yiu computer date and time before using it as mentioned in OP??
Also what Rom are you coming from? Is your bootloader unlocked/lokified?

I have not used towelroot ever. BUT, I do not see why you cannot add a recovery irrespective of root method. I have done this mtself.

Hi,
I've decided to base this thread towards other Aussies/Kiwis and I want to ask if any of you have managed to successfully install TWRP or CWM on your V500 tablets?
Because I have literally tried every single thing I could find, after scouring the internet for many many hours, including having bricked completely one device, and I have not been successful in installing a custom recovery.
My colleague thinks it might be because the Australian version of the stock boot loader differs just enough that none of the methods work. (He's tried as well).
So, anyone successful? Because far out I cannot STAND the LG ROM!
Thanks
Take a look at the CWM manual installation instructions. If your aboot is unsupported, then you probably need to downgrade your firmware with lg tool 2014. I posted links to the files you need on post #36 in the CWM thread also.

Hmm, I had tried V50010B, V50020a and V50020d, but I don't think I tried V50010a. I'll give it a go and let you know how it goes.
You might not need to downgrade your firmware with lg tool if you can successfully complete all the manual installation steps on that thread.

Thanks so much dude, I got CWM on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You gave me the motivation to try again.
Thanks to everyone involved!
So, I rolled back to V50010_A and the followed the instructions, and got CWM. I still get the secure boot error for a couple seconds which almost had me smacking my head, but then it went into CWM and I jumped around the room
Good to hear. That secure boot error message is normal when you install a custom recovery.

There isn't one that I'm aware of. Last night I was looking. If you're on a custom rom/recovery just install the stock rooted rom and install flashify and install the stock recovery which is floating around here somewhere then unroot. you'll be able to receive the update after.
help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish there was one, too. My tablet is bricked into fastboot boot loop and the LgMobile support tool does not work. Only hope is LG Flash tool. But I need the kdz.
Is there a way to convert an image (zip) into kdz?
EDIT: I found (with a lot of help) a way to unbrick it with adb.
Please message me all the details that are needed in order to unbrick my LTE V410!!!
I have two tablets one is mine and one belongs to my son. Both are bricked!
Please H*E*L*P

This is the link with all the help and the steps I took to unbrick my tablet. Although the thread was for another model, the help I'm given is for the LG G-Pad 7.0 v410.

I basically had to flash TWRP recovery and then the stock ROM (which was rooted). Check #37 of the above link.
If you want to upgrade to lollipop you will have to flash custom recovery and unroot the tablet.
Things you may need:
TWRP recovey found here. Scroll half way down, make sure you use the right image for your model.
Stock ROM found here. Note that stock rom is rooted.
Minimal ADB and Fastboot found here. Or you can use adb.
If you need any more help, please let me know.
HOLY SH*T!!!!
:laugh:
WOW! I followed these simple instructions and fixed the first tablet in under 5 min. My son's tablet wasn't primed and ready like mine was. I had already tried every little trick n trade I could find on the net...which consisted of "NOTHING"!!! really... Kept coming up with the same ole bricks though. Until this VITAL information surfaced!!! All I had to do on my first tablet was open up TWRP Terminal and enter the TWO codes.....rebooted.... Now enjoying!!! You got definite props from me bro! :good::good:
