One short Question: A friend of me only wants to root his device,maybe recovery, but no custom rom,so:
is the step "4. ROM flashing ( Recovery ) + Modem " really neccessary? I'm a bit confused about that modem flash, thats new stuff to me.
Thanks in advance

If your friend only wants root and recovery, just have to use the guide to root then use freegee. BUT, currently a lot of users are facing bootloop issues with freegee, myself included, so if he's not likely to use custom roms for now I'd suggest to avoid it, just until its fixed. Hopefully XD
Also, modem flashing is to flash a working modem for your device in order for network service to work. Some roms built mainly for international or other versions of this device actually work on other versions, just that there's a lack of network service lol. Modem flashing helps in that regard. Correct me if I'm wrong here anyone

Thanks for your reply. If i'm reading correct, freegee is only needed for custom recovery? If so: the recovery was only optional, all we need for sure is root. If we can just stop after that we would be fine.

Yes ..more or less..if all you need is root, stay away from unlocking boot loader for now. By the way, xposed frame work is working fine. I even changed DPI settings using ROM tool box n phone is playing nice.
I have actually started enjoying stock ROM with root n custom dpis.

Can no longer find Canadian Carriers
Hi, I have an unlocked E988 and use to be able to find and connect to Virgin Mobile in Canada, but now it only finds Bell and Rogers which I'm not with.
I inserted my SIM card and flashed both of the baseband modem files you provided in your OP and still can't connect. What else could be the issue?

Question about AT&T E988
So I just traded my HTC One for this beautiful Optimus G Pro and I'm loving it so far. Although I do want to get it rooted and load a custom rom and kernel in the near future. Although I am now reading that AT&T released an update(......10p) that breaks the current root method. The best I can figure its the software version they are talking about. My S/W version is E98010p. Can anyone possibly please point me in the right direction to get this thing rooted? Thanks!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633262 this worked for my e98010.consider yourself pointed
Actually i flashed the omni rom for e980 and i have already flashed the correct e988 modem, but my phone still can't search the phone signal until i chose it from the network operator in the setting manually. Every time when i reboot the phone, i have to repeat the above steps in order to grab the signal. How can i solve this problem?
My phone is E988 Taiwan version
Here's a Q&A thread for flashing and using the F240S20C LGViet ROM on the AT&T E980.
First off, I have not created any of these files, so props to those that did. Also, as always proceed at your own risk. If you find this thread useful, don't forget to Thank all those involved.
With that said, if you have an AT&T E980 and want to play with LG's Android 4.4.2 ahead of any possible AT&T release, now's your chance. Anything in this first post, I've used personally on my AT&T-branded LG Optimus G Pro (E980).
Requirements:
1. AT&T LG Optimus G Pro (E980)
2. Custom Recovery already installed OR a rooted ROM so you can run FreeGee (install it from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee_free Buy the donation version to support the devs! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee
3. ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51321268&postcount=45 (courtesy of LGViet and @fronz)
4. Kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51463463&postcount=136 (courtesy of @macmack)
5. Modified build.prop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51597314&postcount=109&nocache=1&z=5786785858217627 (courtesy of @Neroga)
Instructions:
1. Copy ROM and kernel to internal storage
1b. If you have a Custom Recovery already installed, jump to #3.
2. Run FreeGee and install TWRP
3. Boot into TWRP recovery.
4. Flash the ROM followed by the kernel
5. Wipe data/cache then reboot
6. If you care about the built-in weather widget, install/update the theme first before proceeding to the next step.
7. To fix in-call mic and audio and make additional adjustments to customize for the E980, replace the the build.prop. One method is to use TWRP's File Manager. Don't forget to set permissions correctly (chmod 644)
OP Changelog:
20140404: Updated build.prop link and added additional instruction in regards to the built-in weather widget
20140329: Revised ROM link to original post
20140329: Added clarification in terms of Custom Recovery or rooted ROM
20140329: Added fix for in-call mic and audio
20140329: Initial post
Notes:
When you are done, your phone will appear to be a LG-E980, with (LOTS! of) SK Telecom carrier-customizations, and TWRP recovery intact. LTE working. See Known Issues in next post.
Being a stock ROM, it is odexed and not rooted.
Rooting via TWRP appears to work.
The ROM has the 'pta' APN built-in. Theoretically it should give the same results as the 'phone' APN, but don't be afraid to add that APN if you want.
Carrier IQ is not detected by TrevE's Logging Checker. http://androidsecuritytest.com/features/
It is detected in all previous AT&T ROM releases (E98010g, E98010k, E98010p)
FYI, I went back to full stock E98010k, rooted, then updated OTA to E98010p. Then, followed the instructions in the OP. I've also started from E98010k, rooted, then followed instructions in the OP.
What's new?
QSlide "app bar" can be toggled off and on.
Lots of QSlide apps (Calculator, Calendar, Email, File Manager, Internet, Memo, Messaging, Phone, QVoice, TV*, Videos) *TV not useful on E980
Knockon Screen off feature: Double-tap status bar or empty area on LG Home screen to go to turn screen off

Hope it's not too much to ask but would it be possible to compile all this into one flashable zip? I currently use madmacks hacked twrp (still the best) and I have the super user zip. I would just feel better with one zip file with the kernel and modified build prop in one.
Thoughts?

Would add also that our G Pro E980 has 32GB internal storage and the OS format the memory and makes visible only 16GB, to fix this enter to recovery, Mounts and Storage... Format/Data and /Data/Media (/SDCard).
This will format the internal memory, so take precautions, for safety, do these steps with your backed up data and without placing the external memory.
Great post @chp :good:

Smooth and fast on my e980. Sadly no speaker phone. Lots of Korean bloat and scraps of Korean language in places like ringtones and in LG keyboard and dialer.
I flashed it without problems, but after about 5 minutes of running it consistently freezes or the touch screen becomes unresponsive.

Hey, I've just bought what I believe to be a korean LG optimus g pro, in software information, it says it is running on android 4.1.2 and the software version is LG-F240-EUR, and in phone identity it says the model number is LG-F240. In LG PC Suite it says it is the latest version and I can't update to kit kat. I also can't find any updates or stock android / cm11 4.1.2 roms for this phone, and when I do, it says it is for either F240K, F240L, or F240S, but none for just F240. I don't care much about updating to kit kat, but I would love to get a stock or smooth / lightweight + cm11 rom for this phone, anyone know where I can find one? Thanks in advance!
Forgot to say, I'm also already rooted and running CWM, so that's fine.

As you may already know, the E980 is what most people compile for. There is CM11 for the E980. Also, there are no CM11 4.1.2 ROMs as CM11 ROMs are all 4.4.+ ROMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786566
You'll want to look at this when you flash a CM11 ROM to your F240.
I think you should check your imei, just to be sure your phone is F240 or not

Any idea which variant of the F240 this is, and where I could get a CM10 or CM11 rom for it? I'm not bothered by being on an old android version, if it's CM for an older version then I'm happy with that as well.

I don't do walkthroughs for devices I don't own. Also if you don't know if it's f240 S/K/L then you might have some issues my friend.
The model # of your device should be printed on the back of the device when the battery cover is removed, both on the chassis itself and underneath the battery on the barcode+imei label.

Hmmm, let me get back to you. Are you using Windows? If so I could toss together a .BATch file to gank the necessary logs to identify your devices specific model and needs. I'm very familiar with the E980 needs, and pretty well familiar with the F240s/k needs, but I've not encountered a F240-EUR yet. I wonder which specific variant it is?
If you're familiar enough with Linux or command line ADB Android stuff, I could just shoot you some instructions on what to do. Need to research a little first; might be a few days, as I am without internet access, stuck bumming it where I can (pardon me, I'm a gutterdwelling dirtfarmer).

So is there a stock TOT you can flash with LG Flash Tools that works fine? If so, you could backup all your stuff then flash back to stock with LG Flash Tools. When the dialog pops up asking you which TOT & DLL to use make sure to tick the 'Enable XML Log' at the bottom of the dialog and choose somewhere to save the logs to.
After you're done with LG Flash Tool, it will generate three files:
- DiagCommand.xml
- setting.xml
- LOG\<model number>_COM41.log
The last one, the *_COM41.log is the most desirable, but all three would be useful.
What does a site like this tell you about the IMEI? Does the IMEI reported in the Settings->About->Status screen match the one listed on the label underneath the battery?
>as many said after updating the lg f240-eur the updaate was successful but the ssignal was lost forever
Which update is that? An OTA update? Kitkat? Lollipop?
Have you tried the F240L firmware for it? Have you had any success with *any* stock image?
At least that COM41.log will specify the stock firmware and model for the device -- as long as the right DLL is used maybe, as incorrect DLL can cause issues (for me, using F240 Lollipop DLL on an E980 I had modem issues (and probably more)). That can also be obtained from a parameter cat'able via ADB shell, but I cannot remember it offhand (not sure if the partition it's on is loaded by default?) -- can get back to you with that specific in a couple/few days if you choose not/cannot flash a stock TOT.
As always before you go mucking about, if there's any files you value on your device make sure to vacate them via backup.

So is there a stock TOT you can flash with LG Flash Tools that works fine? If so, you could backup all your stuff then flash back to stock with LG Flash Tools. When the dialog pops up asking you which TOT & DLL to use make sure to tick the 'Enable XML Log' at the bottom of the dialog and choose somewhere to save the logs to.
After you're done with LG Flash Tool, it will generate three files:
- DiagCommand.xml
- setting.xml
- LOG\<model number>_COM41.log

Apparently they have official Lollipop for the F240S, so it seems like you should be fine with that. Just make sure the IMEI under the battery and the IMEI being reported in the About menu in the phone match, and it seems like you can't go wrong.
Touch problems, rom or digitizer? If the touch problems persist with stock Kitkat *and* stock Lollipop -- or with any other roms, then it's likely the phone. Digitizers are inexpensive and easy to install though, so if it is that you should have little problem replacing it. Check out Ifixit.com for their walkthrough on that for the E980. Simple stuff! Requires at most a precision screwdriver and maybe a hair dryer/heat gun (probably?).
> ut what are the 3 files u mentioned?and what does com41 file for?
That's unnecessary now that you've found the correct model number for your phone.
Pls how can i flash twrp on my F240k and where to download it
I'm sorry to any of the admins for posting this if it is in the incorrect section, but I find this devices forum very confusing. The only thread that is related to this actual device (the LG G-Pad 10.1) is the TWRP recovery one. I managed to root this device and install recovery, but NONE of the ROMs listed here - or original development section - are actually compatible! THESE ARE ALL FOR THE V400 AND V410 7 INCH TABLET, NOT THE 10.1! Should they all be labeled as mis-categorized?
Am I wrong about this? Is there actually someone who developed a ROM for the LG-V700 model?
I agree: this forum is confusing me too.
Inside the G Pad 10.1 (V700) section I continue to find ROMs for other LG devices.
Is it normal?
Are devices compatible at ROM level?
Thanks for your answers and time.
No answer and no info
Also same question here... where are the roms for the V700 model or in any case where is the info about compatibility between models ???
Can anyone clarify this ??
Thanks a lot.
in the same boat, any info about how to root on lollipop would be great. I just want root, not custom recovery. ive tried a few different lg tools, one-click and script for 'all' lg's but none have worked so far. how did you root your lg v700 10.1 and what software were/are you running. thanks
You need rootjunky files for lg g4 and there in no kernel or rom for vk700
So I recently installed Fulmics 3.7 but found that it still has BT issues on the F400K making it impossible to sync with my Gear Live.
I started searching and found the KDZ files for MM for my phone but was unable to find any simple debloated/rooted ROMs made from them.
What I'm looking for is a ROM that simply works, nothing fancy or flashy. Can anyone point me in a good direction?
I would like to stick to MM if possible but am not totally married to the idea.
I made a post in the Android MM discussions thread asking about whether my SIM would be locked to some Korean carrier if I updated (bought the phone in Asia and now use it in the US, was already rooted when I purchased it and not sure if the original setup was locked to a Korean carrier) so if someone replies and says it will work I may just flash the KDZ and then root afterward.
Anyway, if anyone could put in their two cents I would really appreciate it
@cliffordconradsumner , flashing KDZ will not lock it to Korean carrier. If your are looking for stable stock based rom, I would recommend to download and install below. Found it from lgviet, it is modified by member Tizen. I used all other roms including Fulmics but reverted back to it as everything works on it.
Rom Download Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-V6jOenWB4sOVNFUmhRcXZSZ2M/view
File Addition : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-V6jOenWB4sRnRCSTBwdmM2MXM/view
Installation Instructions:
You must be on Stock Lollipop, rooted and TWRP recovery installed.
Full wipe (Date, system, cache, Dalvik)
Install the rom by choosing your variant and reboot. (DO NOT install file addition zip at this point)
Once you complete initial setup, reboot into recovery with Quickboot app (already included in recovery) and now install File addition zip. (downloaded above from 2nd link). Reboot your cell and enjoy.
Thanks so much for the info! I'm doing a search for lgviet not to try and find the rom to read up a little more about it. Is there a thread here on XDA?
