Hi guys!
I've a big issue with an Lg Optimus G (E973)...
A friend root his E973 and install a E975 ROM on it....
So right now, I've access to 3 mode: Download mode, Fastboot and CWM.
I can't have access to the storage using an USB (even with the LG USB drivers) so I can't copy the right ROM and gapps on it!
There's any way to use the sideloader to send the two zip files to the phone and flash them after using CWM?

Enter downloding mod.Flash a kdz. Or use adb to put rom on storage.
Adb give me an error...
I've try to kill-server and start-server; also I've under the USB listening command... Sometime it's showing my device but when I'm asking to copy the ROM, I've an error <code> :error <\code>
Flashing a kdz... you mean with the LG Flash tools?

There's a tool called KDZ-Updater which you can use for flashing stock .kdz files (stock firmware), it's the easiest way.
And i don't think that your G is bricked, you can still enter fastboot & cwm.
Btw. i tried e973 Roms on my e975, they booted and nothing bricked, just some things didn't work as they should.
If the phone is still bricked try a different or up to date recovery for it. For me, TWRP adb side loading doesn't work so I use PhilZ touch

Ok I'm having serious problems rooting my LG Nitro HD. I have tried Super One Click - Failed One Click Root- Failed the method where you use the LgSystemBackupTest.apk - Failed. The thing that all of things have in common is that they all say that they cant install busybox that they cant find a file and the permission to install is denied (missing ZergRush in the case of Super One Click Root).
My Lg Nitro was upgrade using the lg software to Ice Cream Sandwhich. The debugging was check off. Is there something Im doing wrong, How do I root this device. The Drivers are all there and installed to the lates version. If you give me instructions please tell me what charge option to choose when i plug into my computer. If you need any extra info please me know Ill be more than happy help, I just want to root my device and stay on ICS. hopefully the root suggestion or fixes that you guys suggest wont include me having to download SDK.

Because you tried flashing a custom recovery after root. Gotta unbrick. Pick a guide and do it.

This will only work if you have ICS and don't want to install custom ROM's. If you do your device will have to be unbricked using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044645
Then since you have win 7 follow these steps:
"1. Follow the guide on the first post of this thread and stop after step 10. (run before.bat)
2. For installing the KDZ follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149211. This is the process that works in Windows 7.
3. Continue with step 15."

There unfortunately is no way to create a backup without root. With that being said a program like super backup will at least allow you to backup your call logs, SMS, contacts, etc. But once you go through the guide you will have root and CWM.

You can only install a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP with gingerbread so you need to follow the unbricking guide I provided above, just skip to the point of running the before.bat file since you already have root. That is why you got the security error.

You still have to downgrade to gingerbread. When LG came out with ICS for our phones they, like a lot of manufactures, locked the bootloader so a custom recovery like cwm cannot be installed. A custom recovery is need to install a custom ROM like Cyanogen. Gingerbread does not have a locked bootloader so that's the reason for the downgrade. Since you said you have Windows 7 the kdz installer may not work. There are two solutions. 1) Find a Windows XP machine it will work perfectly or 2) look for the post under my name dated March 11 on this thread. I don't know the post number since I just use the XDA app but you shouldn't have trouble locating it. This provides the work around needed to make it work with Windows 7. Good luck.

Hello to everyone,first time here and new to this root thing.
That said,I just purchased a LG E970. The phone came unlocked and rooted but don't know if it has recovery system or if bootloader is unlocked. How do I find out?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Enter in recovery mode and see if you have custom recovery. On optimus G you can't have CWM recovery without unlocked bootloader.
Solution
Install this application that can automatically boot in recovery mode (if there is recovery installed)
QuickBoot -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot
If there is no recovery installed you have to install FreeGee and unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery with it.
FreeGee -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee_free
Anyways, even if your bootloader is unlocked and a custom recovery is installed, I strongly suggest you re-unlock and update your recovery to the last version of CWM with the help of FreeGee.

what??you lost me there. Could you ellaborate please?
The easiest way to see if you are both rooted and unlocked is to enter in recovery mode.If you have recovery mode, it also means you are rooted.You can't unlock the bootloader if you are not rooted, so checking for root is redundant .

Is there any guides to relocking Optimus G specifically? I got the phone already unlocked but I can't return it to stock since KDZ updater and LG Mobile Support Tool can't detect my phone.
hi all.
Once I unlocked and installed CWM recovery to my current stock rom, can I still use KDZ updater to flash KDZ file in future?
Hey everyone,
I've tried ROM Manager, Titanium Backup, Quickboot, even the manual ADB way, and my LG Optimus G E971 (Canada w/ Rogers) won't boot into recovery mode. So I can't backup and/or install ClockWorldMod and install ROMs
Upon reboot, this is what I get. Please see the below image. BTW: I can get out of this by holding down the power button and power the phone up as normal, but can't boot into recovery mode.
