Hi. I am not really new to Android dev scene. My first OG device was the LGOG, now I have the G PRO. I have done the rooting, bootloader unlocking and Custom Recovery flashing in LGOG before, which is much simplier than in G PRO. I can't seem to find a way to unlock the bootloader of my variant F240S kitkat. The ROM version is F240S20C. Freegee does not seem to support it yet. So is there any way to unlock it's bootloader? Or can I flash/install custom recovery without the need to unlock the bootloader?
You can unlock it when you install the old stock rim 4.1.2. With 4.4.2 you can't it yet.

if its an E975 running JB it sounds like its already rooted seeing as no official 4.1.2 has been released yet for that model unless that's the korean model . I could be wrong though. Wouldn't be the first time. Check in app drawer for super user icon.

You can root it with the method posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2112190
Might take a few tries but it works as I tried it on the E975 KDZ a couple of times.
Then download busybox from market.

Thanks... it works beautifully!
Now I think to think of how to fastboot recovery into this phone. Can't seem to be able to enter it..
This LG phone sure is a learning curve for a former Samsung s3 user

Maybe jump on the IRC channel and ask for the E975 freegee if available. It will unlock bootloader and inject cwm for you. Then you just reflash a newer cwm version which can be found in the AT&T section.

Hi,
i have red different things about how to root an e975.
So i have a few questions before to root my phone.
Is there a better method than another to root my optimus G?
Is there a way to unroot it easily later?
If i unroot it, will it be exactly the same as a never-rooted optimus g?
Will it be possible to update officially my phone when an update will be available? (with root? unrooted?)
thanks for your answers
the easiest way is to use motochopper to unroot, after u need to unlock the boot loader with freegee available on the mp...
now you re ready to flash a new ROM.
at your own risk....
ask yourself what u want to achieve with root... if you want to get the last stock lg experience, you don't need to root.

If you just want to root your phone, try towelroot.apk. You must be really lazy because a Google search on rooting lg-e980 will tell you about towel root app.

By any chance you have link to a thread which points to installing a custom recovery on my E988 (running official Kit Kat) ? SW version is E98820c-ESA-XX
Guys, I have a LG-E975 stock android 4.4.2 rooted with towel root, after I upgraded from android 4.1.2 using OTA update in India, and lost my root ( [ROOT]Windows/Linux file to root all Firmwares By @fiddy619, Released At 8th March 2013: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181103 ).
My phone isn't bricked or facing any issues. Can I freshly unlock my boot-loader using Teeny bin ? Just seeking confirmation from any user who used this process to unlock the boot-loader for the 1st time. Thanks
Edit : Or, does FREEGEE support Kitkat in E-975 ?
My Android version - India
bump
Thanks guys
Did you use freegee?

Root requires to unlock the bootloader or a hack like in MM where it was possible without unlock. Unlocking the bootloader is the common way to root your phone as long as the vendor allows you to do that. LG allows that for the g4 models h815 international and h811 only.
Once the bootloader is unlocked you can flash TWRP and root your phone .
Downgrading to MM is possible, too ofc. Has been asked and answered multiple times here. Try the XDA search for that .
