Turn off phone. Press vol up+power.You will enter fastboot mode. Then press 2 times volume down and after that, press power. Voila, your phone will reboot in recovery mode.
OR you could install quickboot app from market and you will have advanced reboot menu.
Of course,there are many apps to do this,but quickboot is the most simple and it's free.
Rom toolbox,rom manager, titatium backup and so much more can do the same ....

Hi
I am already rooted and unlocked can I use freegee and hit ''unlock my optimus g'' ?
What will happen?
thnx
Thermonuclear war.
One question,how did you unlocked the bootloader without freegee?we are not talking about nerwork/simlock. We are talking about bootloader.do you even know what is the bootloader and why is it locked?i see you ask alot of chaotic questions my friend and i advise you to stop.
Please start doing some reading on how an android device works,especially the G.then read about tweaking possibilities and read multiple times.make sure understand what you are reading amd only then you can attempt to try something.

dont understand u talking tome such horrble way ?!?! do u know me?
what u think who am I some stupid kid?
a bit of respect i would like to see from you ! OK?!?!
for first i flashing phones debranding repairing , replacing parts , soldering , etc ,,
And been CONFUSED from ALL phones because the way of modifying is all the way different ..
And I gathering info to properly find way how to sucesfully flash customized ROMS !
So be nice and dont abuse me with these kind of attack replies
Thnx !
Firstly ! If u so experienced how come u don't know how to root and unlock LG optimus G /F180L
I have F180L converted to E975 .. So I used KDZ's and other way to root device and replace baseband etc..
And now I want to try this ''so much ''adored'' ROM called CyanogenMod 10.1 ..
So now u know WHY I am asking ALL THIS !
Will be wery happy if I 'll get some support here ..
I haven't found here NOT EVEN ONE person only ignorants which are lazy to explain how to..
So I ALWAYS get it done BY MY SELF .. Useless. really ..
If you would've provide this info from the start, it would've been much easier, don't think?
And if you would've use the search function, you'd also find that it has been already discussed several times this matter.
Let's be serious, this section has not than many active threads in order to make difficult a search.
I'm not lazy to help someone,but i will never repeat same answers over and over.I'm not a robot.
And,like i said, you are asking chaotic questions.The guy who opened this thread asked for a E973.You asked for a F180 converted to E975.What do i must understand from this??

E973 is the same as E975 ..
no it's not the same. why do you think they have another number? it's fun, or does any changes exists between 973 and 975?
Hey guys, i want to unlock with free gee but i'm a little nervous. Has anyone used this on 4.12? I get a warning about there being a chance of a bricking if your running JB. By the way, I'm rooted and I have an update pending, that's why i wanna install a recovery. Will i have any issues if I update? Besides losing root, i can only assume.
1.my answer was for eithos,who is very chaotic.
2. E973 has 8 or 13mpx camera?
3.there is no risc in bricking it.the dev placed that warning to be sure you know what you are doing.it's the same warning you get on op of rom thread.the devs are not responsable if anything goes wrong.no one is forcing you to do anything.
Conclusion,freegee is safe and it's working on jb without problem

Hi guys
I installed [ROM] AndroidNow HD 1.7 G3 D855 [V10L/support ART] on my LG G3 via BUMP(TWRP)
Now I want to know if there is any way to install STOCK ROM back(this one which was on phone when I get it) If answer is yes, where do I get flash file for it?
Also can I unroot and remove BUMP ? I'm asking because of warranty...Thank you
you have NO warranty as you have flashed a custom rom/recovery and rooted (depending on country and/or fault with device) also use the search button as this has already been covered plenty.

technically you void the warranty by modifying the phone, however, there are arguments especially in the EU that a software fault cannot breach the warranty for faulty hardware etc.
also if you flash back to stock they have no way of knowing what you did, also from experience they tend to not care anyway.
Thank you guys for all your answers to my question.
Specially to the guy , who gave me the link to the KDZ image file and FLASH tool.
I will try to restore my LG G3 back to STOCK ROM because of update to android L(Lolipop).

If you are returning to stock only for the Lollipop update you might want to just wait because I'm sure we'll have a working Bump'd port by the time LG starts rolling out the update near the end of this year. That being said, you may still receive the update before us, but Autoprime and TheCubed have warned us not to take OTA updates because Qualcomm is rolling out its anti-rollback updates soon that may prevent you from ever unlocking this phone again and may make you lose root for a long time. I'm sure that LG is working on patching Bump in the 5.0 update so just be warned that you may never get a custom recovery on this phone again if you choose to take the official update. I am relying on the devs here to get us a Bump'd version so I can keep this beast free. That's just my two cents and it's your decision I just wanted to warn you about the risk. Have a good day man!
Thank you for your answer. Yes I heard about this news(qualcom,..) but I will go back to stock, after that I will ROOT my phone again and install BUMP. Do you have any information about when the BUMP tool will be released so cyanogenmod and other ROM's will come?
EDIT: Will this method also work: http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html ?

Hey, I am also from Sweden. Not so sure about the root counter, but I have had my G3 on service and they didnt mention anything about modified software. I just flashed a stock KDZ with LG flashtool which seemed to remove all signs of root, there are guides for LG flashtool here on the forums. I suppose you have the D855 model? Then any international D855 KDZ should work just fine, I havent had any trouble connecting to Telia with any international D855 modem yet.
About ROM's, its kinda hard to recommend a ROM since I have no idea what you are looking for. The bumped AOSP ROM's are still being worked out and can have some bugs, if you are looking for a stable close to stock ROM with some minor modifications I would recommend CloudyG3, or if you are interested in the latest news you could try out the pre-rooted Lollipop ROM (Havent had the chance to try that one yet, so cant really say anything about it)

says device patched sry,
should i use dragon instead and if i do do i need to use bumped?
Hi guys,
I might get flamed, I might not.
I have searched on google on how to root my LG G3. I have used towelroot and it says something like it isn't compatible. I used stump root and it says its patched. I used purple drake and I manage to find my device but the error comes up about vulnerability.
Luckily with PDrake, I found my software version as I have been seeing 10f 10e etc everywhere and it seems mine is a v20f.
Into google it went and the search it very minimal on answers.
Do I have to rollback the software to a kit kat version in order to root??? Is there any other way or more importantly is it a safe way?
All I really wanted to do was change some of the UI sounds and I cant access the system folder without a root!
P.S. Is there up to date, guide on how to roll back?
Thanks!
Yes, you have to go back to kitkat, then I used IOroot and then install twrp via Bump

Ok nice, so D855 16GB from UK and unbranded ?
This KDZ should work. It will bring you to V10A, so Kitkat, and after that you can root.
If you have issues downgrading, I suggest you ask in the other thread, it is especially for this step.
Good luck.
BTW: doing that will erase all your data on your phone.

What I mean by branded is that you might have some Vodaphone software on it or from an other carrier. Unbranded means it's a pure LG phone unmodified by the carrier.
LL can't be rooted so you have to downgrade to KK.
For doing so you need to factory reset your phone using a KDZ or a TOT file, and there is no way around wiping the thing doing that.
Yeah that's a lot to modify a sound, but eh that's the deal as of now. And mind that if you downgrade to KK and root, you can't get back to LL if you are rooted. (Well you can but your phone will become a brick)
If you want a rooted LL, you need a custom rom like CloudyG3 for example.
Cheers for reply, already hit that thanks button.
Seems a lot for custom UI sounds, think ill wait until someone develops something. In the mean time I will continue to search for the ability to mod the system audio file without a root
Sorry to hijack, but can I confirm that the way to go from stock lollipop to rooted lollipop is to downgrade to Kitkat using the links above, then root, then install a rooted Lollipop rom?

Yes. LL has been rooted, but it´s way more complicated than previous versions of Android. You can wait, but it could be weeks, months or years for an universal safe and stable method
And the G3's locked bootloader isn't helping too....
Are there any working ROMs or even recovery for the G Pad F 8 (V495)?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
Not at this moment. We need more people to be interested in such.
Fortunately, there's a recovery for the V496 (T-Mobile variant).
We need testing for the v495.
Look here.. Make sure to back up your exisiting recovery. Then flash this. If it works, make sure to reply here or at the other thread. If not, still let us know.
In the event we ever get roms, you wont be able to flash anything for a specific device that isn't v496. Atleast until someone rebuilds the recovery for your device.
In any event. I would like you to contact me so that I can walk you through a dump of all of your devices partitions, except the personal ones.

I have this device for US Cellular. I would really love to install CM rom on it. From my understanding the two problems are the locked bootloader that prevent us from installing a rom, and also there being no ROMs that support our version.

Specifically, a locked bootloader also makes it either impossible or extremely difficult to have root, too, which of course is a prerequisite for installing anything custom.
Also to mention that you can root it with Kingroot but there is a good chance it will also brick it. I have v495 sitting here waiting for a proper KDZ.
I keep searching everyday hoping I see a KDZ pop up. Nothing as of yet. I just bought an nVidia K1 Shield to use in place of this thing for now. Maybe one day I will get it back working.
King root 4.6.2 will give you root on marshmallow but only till you reboot.. Would be happy to help out in the cause.

Also to mention that you can root it with Kingroot but there is a good chance it will also brick it. I have v495 sitting here waiting for a proper KDZ.
I keep searching everyday hoping I see a KDZ pop up. Nothing as of yet. I just bought an nVidia K1 Shield to use in place of this thing for now. Maybe one day I will get it back working.

waiting for the proper firmware for making my tablet working. If you got one, an you help me in that please
LG V495
Hello!
After unsuccessful firmware, I had the same problem as badvs3vil https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67942420&postcount=29 blurred / damaged video screen.
I was flashing firmware from LG V490 using LGFlashTool2014.
As a result, immediately after the end of the firmware, stripes appeared on the tablet screen, and nothing was visible :crying:
There are sounds of charging, the tablet responds to touch.
Please help restore the tablet!
You can install LG-AK495 to fix it.

How can i do this? Do you have detailed instructions?
It turned out to solve the problem with a distorted image on the screen. Here I downloaded the firmware:
LG G Pad F 8.0 UK495 Stock ROM Firmware (Flash File)
Download the official LG G Pad F 8.0 UK495 Stock ROM Firmware (Flash File) for your device. We also provide Stock ROM for other LG devices.
lgstockrom.com
LG_G_Pad_F_8.0_UK495_LGUK495_UK49520c_00_0718
After installation, the image is normal!!
So, I guess there's no custom roms for this thing, huh? That's a shame. The thing is super slow and running Android 6 with AT&T bloatware

Looks like it. I found this tablet sitting in my drawer and thought I'd flash some AOSP or similar custom ROM, but not happening.
