As above.... Download freegee off of play store first (I recommend pro for only a buck..support the dev) and follow the guide in the post that pertains to the rom you want. Dont run freegee until you figure out if the rom you want does better with twrp or cwm

i posted step by step for carbon rom but works for harmony 4.4.1 too

just scroll down to my post for instructions. instead of carbon rom, insert bs harmony 4.4.1 or any other rom for that matter. i installed bs harmony 4.4.1 (kitkat) last night.

[q] hi! Im new here! :)

hello! I'm new here, and I wanted to see who was kind enough to provide me a link to the stock rom LG E987 using odin to flash another ROM cyanogenmod and paranoid or something like that. I have a LG E987 single root, then still intact, of course thank you very much :highfive:

Alrighty, here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=20
Just download the one for your model.
If you are planning to flash a Custom AOSP based rom, or something like that, make sure you first:
1. Properly root
2. Unlock Bootloader with an app called "Freegee" on the Google Play store, also BACKUP YOUR EFS, you can find some pretty good tutorials around here on how to do that, you can also back them up with Freegee, but personally I prefer backing them up manually, just to be sure.
3. Use Freegee to flash CWM or TWRP both available from within the app.
NOTE: To flash Stock roms you will need to follow the instructions on this threads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010624

[guide] install at&t kitkat e980 stock flash + root + recovery - complete wipe !

[guide] install at&t kitkat e980 stock flash + root + recovery - complete wipe !
FOR AT&T LG E980:
Basically, from my experience I put together this guide for anyone who wishes to flash a complete stock AT&T KitKat from .TOT file and the root and add recovery.
All the steps are what I have gathered from around the forums, SO I WILL GIVE CREDIT FOR STEPS THAT ARE OUTLINED BY OTHERS. These people helped by their postings.
FLASHING TOT FILES:
1. The BEST - I think a lot of us can agree - thread for the LG E980 flashing with STOCK firmware is this by HYELTON http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44983841&postcount=1
STOP OVER THERE AND GIVE THE MAN SOME LOVE AND THANKS !!!!
.TOT files and .Kdz files for all versions can be found at Hyelton's thread above. Also, more details for flashing .TOT vs .Kdz files there. Below is some tips from my experience.
Here is the exact TOT file I used: http://www.mediafire.com/download/djjmck2eost77e3/BIN_LGE980AT-00-V20g-ATT-US-APR-28-2014+0.tot
SOME OF MY TIPS: FROM MY EXPERIENCES
2. The only hitch is getting LGFlash Tools and hacking it. I tried the links on Hyelton’s thread but some are now too new to be hackable. For example, one must find the reg key for the new version of LGTools he links to. Megalock.dll is hit-or-miss. There are other ways for sure but I did not bother further.
3. I found that lower versions of LG Flash Tool (v 1.4.1330R) works just fine.
EDIT: The latest version of LG Flash Tools is here http://www.mediafire.com/download/6g1uyoz2zsiqq1c/LG+Phone+Flash+Stuff.rar
And it contains the DLL to be used during flashing. I STRONGLY SUGGEST USING THIS. You MUST -MUST- TURN OFF INTERNET WHEN USING FLASH TOOLS. This pack contains the full software, and dll files. I have flashed using just this package >10 times at least while testing roms
a.Connect phone and let Windows install drivers. In my case, Windows 8 default were just fine.
b.Put your phone in download mode.
c.Connect it to your computer. In case of windows 8 the windows default drivers work fine.
d.Follow Hyelton’s steps.
EDIT: See posts #32and #33 in this thread. Do not go back to download. But wait for fastboot to install. See post #33 for this. Just wait patiently, the phone will reboot to full normal mode/setup screen, then the LG tools will say pass. BE VERY PATIENT.
ROOTING AND RECOVERY:
ROOTING:
THANKS TO jarari2:
1.This method here works just fine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699067
Simple bat file method. Turn ON USB Debugging before trying.
2.RECOVERY:
THANKS TO hoangnova AT http://lgviet.com/forum/threads/moi-thu-ve-lg-g-pro-4-4-2-root-recovery-kdz.14841/
** Download and move following file to phone.
** https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4vSbKccbcIOV1NjMDlqWUdmVm8/edit?pli=1
OR

You should have a full stock KitKat + Rooted + Recovery… Enjoy!!

No Problem.
To do the OTA I guess you went back to complete stock ? Yeah, that is a good option too....! Only, it requires one extra flash (going back to stock!)
Just for info, can you please add the steps to your post.
Thanks.

I went back to pure stock and no custom recovery, then did the 10p update - I found that the update to 10p would not work with other than stock recovery. I then just used the settings query for OTA update, downloaded and installed - all my programs and data were intact after the update, except apps requiring root would not run correctly. I then followed your steps to root. I still have the stock recovery at this point. KitKat runs great.

So when going back to complete stock the 10p, how did you keep apps, settings if you used odin.? Just interested in your procedure since obviously OTA on stock will retain programs and settings.

It just worked...

Honestly, I don't know. I had been flashing lots of different ROMS and then went back the total day 1 stock. I then updated OTA to 10p a couple of months ago and rooted but did not flash a custom recovery. I then heard that 4.4.2 was available, checked via the about link and downloaded. All the apps and data stayed in place. I then rooted and have yet to flash a custom recovery. I'm sorry I can't give you more detail. But I can tell you that I seem to have better battery life, and I had to pair my phone to my car again. Good luck.

i miss network connection
hi, i follow your steps, and it worked, i have KK now on my e980.
but... sometimes i lost my network connection, and it returns in a minute or two
any ideas?

With the recovery installed from this thread. Can we flash non stock custom roms or just stock roms.

Problems flashing.
Hey! I can't flash the .TOT, the Flash Tool doesn't recognize port COM41, or any other. I go to device administrator, and there's my phone as port 41, but the Flashing Tool doesn't. Any ideas?!

Here is the detailed thread for using Lg flash tool. Http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f17...flashv141-free-no-need-b2b-user-pass-1628819/
I guess you changed yiu computer date and time before using it as mentioned in OP??
Also what Rom are you coming from? Is your bootloader unlocked/lokified?

Can you guys help me out? I already rooted using towelroot. Is it possible to just install the apk for recovery without doing the other steps?

I have not used towelroot ever. BUT, I do not see why you cannot add a recovery irrespective of root method. I have done this mtself.

[Q] How to upgrade LG Optimus G Pro to KitKat if not on AT&T

I have bought an unlocked LG Optimus G Pro and am using it on T-Mobile. It's on JB version 4.1.2. I know AT&T has rolled out KitKat upgrade for Optimus G Pro. I tried to update the software on my phone but it kept saying "Phone not registered to network". I went to LG support page and they redirected me to AT&T for software upgrade. There is no manual download link for the upgrade and AT&T page says it will happen OTA and must have active sim card in it[which I guess means Active ATT sim card].
My question is:
->Is it possible to upgrade it to 4.4.2 version that AT&T has pushed without being on AT&T?
->If so, where can I find the stock/untouched 4.4.2 ROM?
Thanks in advance. Sorry, if this is a repeat question but I did search the threads and didn't find this question anywhere.

Its not completely untouched, but its stock 4.4.2 with a few added features like Slide Aside:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2781401
To install this you need to be rooted and have clockworkmod recovery installed. (This will void your warranty!)
If you install this rom on the international version make sure you delete the modem.img in the zip before flashing throught cwm.
But never install the firmware (kdz) from another model with the lg flash tools, i tried this once and it Hard Bricked my phone
But if you like AT&T bloat and dont want a few more G2 features you can ty this rom:

Thank you very much. Never rooted Android, will look in to the links you have sent to try to figure something out!

But if you dont want to get any trouble with the first rom i sent you should delete the recovery.img, aboot.img and the modem.img because without this i figured out that it can cause Problems where the phone does not either boot or go in recovery. I just want to save you from this Problem because it can be tricky to restore the phone with the LG flash Tool.

Ouch!!!!
I am a root n00b. Is there any thread that can guide me to how to root, how to install a ROM and how to revert back to original rom in step by step way :S
Sorry for this question, but seems like XDA has become too big to search these smaller things now

Thanks! I bought a brand new Sprint LG G2 and used 1.62FacedRom to flash it for T-Mobile and is working perfectly even though i have a feeling the speaker output is very low.

[Q] NEED SUPPORT on Bootloop Problem after Flashing Custom Rom

Hi, I made a mistake flashing gomdolight wave on my lg g pro f240k stock rom. I was on Kitkat stock rom and flashed gomdolight which i believe is intended for JB only. After flashing, my phone got stuck on bootloop. I tried to download and flash another version of gomdolight which is intended for Kitkat but still, bootlooped again. What should I do? Can I flash other custom roms instead? Thanks in advance for those who would help.

First go in your recovery (if you did not install one download and install)
wipe / data
wipe / cache
wipe / davilk
wipe / system
ok, download a custom stock rom and place on your SD, this can be here
(make sure it's rom works on your device, it is 32gb or 16gb, if not this rom, look for one that is installed by the recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419802
put it in the right place (follow the tutorial that is in the link)
Note: you will not install it by zip, will make a recovery.
Now that you have solved the problem of bootloop ..
You must return your original rom, for that you'll have to use the FashTools
Here in this link has step by step.

Sorry, TOT is for E980, you need to use KDZ for your model. Tehre is a thread in the forum with all the kdz and tot files for the g pro.

I Have LG E989 (brazil) and this rom work in my phone...
after all... all roms is compatible... but... the modem is other...
Use this rom... u need recovery any stock. After you stay in stock is possible u use KDZ files.. (FlashingTools)

I solved it!
Thanks to everyone who replied! I already solved it.
What I did, was flash a stock e980 version via KDZ Flasher, then I re-flashed back to my stock f240k. It worked, all signals were back.
I'm now proceeding on upgrading to Kitkat. Thanks again.
