Dear All,
I have purchased LG F180 handset today in used condition. The previous user had VDT Rom-Choi Installed in it with android jelly bean 4.1.2 version and phone is having root access that I checked from root checker. Now I want to install Sling ROM version 2.2.2 but below are some issue which I came across while playing with my phone.
1. When I downloaded freegee from play store it is saying my device is not supported. Whereas when I checked from imei.info page below are the results;
Model: Swift G F180
Brand: LG
However the seller confirms me that It is F180L model
2. I am unable to get in Fastboot/revovery mode, I tried volume up+power button but nothing happen LG logo blink twice and device powered off. Then I restarted my device and back to the home screen.
As per the guides available Here we can unlock boot loader and install CWM by freegee.. as mentioned below;
6.Q: How do I unlock the bootloader?
A: It’s easy, using FREEGEE app from playstore. Both free and donate apps work.But I suggest using the paid app, to thanks Shelnutt2 for his wonderful work. He deserves a beer.
The reason of buying this handset is this ROM... I have purchased this handset with so much hope.. But when I came across to the above mentioned things.. I am a bit worried.. Please help me resolve this.. so I can able to get the ROM which I liked most.
First of all your bootloader is already unlocked you can't flash a custom rom with locked bootloader so if you have vdt you are unlocked the best thing to do is download cwm manager from playstore and flash cwm if nothing happens you should consider flashing kds for installing the original software back again and start from scratch root phone using framaroot and unlock bootloader using freegee then you‘ll have the latest mako bootloader unlocked and the latest custom recovery cwm or twrp and you could flash anything you want.
Thank you soo much.. I have done it

OTA update ur is to latest... Don't forget to Factory reset after each update. Stock KitKat update will make ur app data partition to 2GB. Then u can Sling 2.2.2 or MC Dev V7

My p930 is rooted and running the latest CWM recovery and CM10 nightlies. The screen is broken and I 'll need to send it in for warranty/insurance claim. I've run a CWM backup, and transferred that to my PC. Now I need to return to stock/unroot.
This thread, along with other unroot threads, are kinda old. Is SOC > Unroot still the best method? Has anyone unrooted from 4.1/CM10? Are there any other known methods?

If all else fails you could use the LG update tool to update to official ICS... I personally don't know if there's an easier way.
On the broken screen thing, how much are you being charged to replace it? You can get the digitizer glass/frames on eBay for around $40-45. There is a nice guide on how to tear-down the phone floating around the general forum which I have used three times so far : But it's pretty easy to do and would save you some time of being without your phone... and save you the hassle of having to unroot and all.

Best thing to do now is just update using the official LG updater to ICS from download mode. If it refuses to install for any reason, flash the V18f ICS update first.
I'm also wanting to go back to the stock ICS on my optimus LTE. I'm just not 100% sure what I should flash first. Currently if I connect the phone to the LG mobile software it says that my phone is already up to date. Where would I be able to get a V18F ICS update? And also once I've done that will I be able to point the LG software to Telus I don't remember since it's been so long since I upgraded my phone.

Then you should be able to follow the unbrick guide to downgrade to GB, and instead flashing CWM and carrying on from there, try to use the LG updater while on stock GB.

The v18f version is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668476
The nice thing about this is that this exe will flash no matter what ROM you currently have installed. Then, after installing this, the official updater will recognize your phone as out of date and will allow you to flash to the official v20c update easily.
Seems to want to update to V10J and that's about it, never get's to V20E. Also after the update it just stays at the Telus splash screen.
I was able to load the ATT V18F no problem and then get to the point where the LG software wants to update but that's where it end unfortunately.
Guess I'll keep trying and see how it goes.

Oh, that's actually fine. You just need to do one more thing: after you get stuck on the splash screen, pull the battery and put it back in. Then hold down volume down + power button to turn the phone on (same way you access CWM if you have it installed). Then press power button twice to confirm and your phone will reboot after a little bit and should work fine from there.
HOWEVER, if it's not even the version you want, then that doesn't help you much. What version of the phone do you have? P935 from Telus?
hi guys im new to the lg g3 (well any lg phone) just a couple of questions
from what ive read there isnt many roms due to the locked bootloader will the bootloader be unlocked in the future?
i have the D855 uk vodafone model is they a working TWRP or CWR for the g3?
ive rooted so does this mean i can at least remove some bloteware?
thanks guys sorry for questions :victory:
from what ive read there isnt many roms due to the locked bootloader will the bootloader be unlocked in the future?
Probably yes, if the @thecubed and others beat the protection (last post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...3-vs98510b-t2890349/post55729952#post55729952)
i have the D855 uk vodafone model is they a working TWRP or CWR for the g3?
There is only Tethered version and I would not recommend to use it. It's for advanced users only and it's not a "real" recovery. More on http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/recovery-twrp-2-7-1-3-t2831668
ive rooted so does this mean i can at least remove some bloteware?
Yes, you can... , or freeze it. If you will the cause softbrick, use LG Flash Tool 2014 and flash in NORMAL mode latest stock ROM you used or use LG PC Suite. After this you need to re-root it. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-unroot-ota-using-lg-pc-suite-pc-t2802286)

thanks for the replys if the bootloader doesnt get unlocked then thats going to destroy the g3 for development isnt it
is they a way to flash latest stock rom and get off the vodafone branded rom so i at least get all the latest OTAs?
Not sure I understand you question, but if you mean, whether you will be able to update the phone via OTA in the future, it depends.
If not or if it will not work, unroot your phone, install OTA and the re-root and you should be fine.
But still - all of that is already described in dedicated threads, don't be afraid to take a look around. :fingers-crossed:
As for the development - I guess when it will not get unlocked, it will be from my perspective one of the most wasted money on Android phone for many.

lol sorry what i ment is im on a vodafone branded firmware now and i wanted to flash a unbranded latest uk stock rom so it will be first to get OTA as branded firmwares can be a bit behind is it possible?
thanks again:good:
I don't think so, but someone else should confirm it.
Eg. you can download FW based on IMEI (http://lg-firmware-rom.com/download-firmware.php?f=YOUR_IMEI_HERE), not based on whether it's branded or not.
But still you have option to use the tools like LG Flash Tool 2014 and simply flash latest firmware you want (for your variant)

I know its confusing but you can only flash TOT files with that tool - if you get your FW via the imei cause its a KDZ, for KDZ flashing you need to use this tool...

What was upgraded, fixed, etc from 10B to 12B? Not really a fan of downgrading.

Kind of new to LG "sorry"
Took it to the store earlier they said they have a new clean stock ROM that has nothing on.....Ran an update that took a few min then after wiping I got the same customization stuff back once the data start to sync I'm also now at 4.4.2 instead of 4.4.3 tried OTA sw update it says I have the latest. How can I get 4.4.3 update now?
Thanks!!!!
As far as i know there is no 4.4.3. And for the bloatware, it's firmware independent. That means the bloat is already on your phone in a hidden folder.

LG G3 will not have 4.4.3 update, but by the end of 2014 will receive 5.0 update for D855 international version.
You can either flash a stock .kdz by entering your imei and download it from LG's website here:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI HERE
Or flash a custom rom like CloudyG3. Please see the forums for more info on that. Also you can get rid of it by atleast rooting your device and throwing the APK's away, or as I like to do I root my device, install Titanium and batch uninstall all the apps at once and ta-da a clean phone

Weirdly that doesn't work, I had the same issue before and when you flash any kdz as soon as it booted it downloaded a **** load of carrier apps from Germany xD There is a folder that the flash does not erase, if you delete that it gets rid of it for good. (Hopefully)
