[Q] Flashing ROM - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a T-Mobile LG G3 (D851). Is it possible to flash the ROMs from the international version? It's dead on the T-Mobile G3 development section.

Pretty soon we will be getting all the roms and kernels since the tmobile g3 is the only variant that has an unlocked bootloader. And for the answer, yes as long as you can supply your own kernel and modem. (Some wont work 100%) though.

I used to own an S4 so it sounds like the same rodeo. There's no kernel that I'm aware of that's custom for the T-Mo G3. If there is, please point me in the right direction. Guess there's no flashing yet. I want to get rid of the bloat stock ROM and put something in that's more efficient.

For gods sake man this phone is still new. Give it atleast a month until the devs start getting to it.

For gods sake man take a chill pill LMAO :laugh:
The S4 scene took up very quickly since the phone was similar to the S3. Figuring G2 to G3 there'd be a quicker uptake.
So no flashable kernel / modem for the T-mo? Simple yes (and a link or a no will do).

No, but there are roms. Trust me we will be the first ones to get it.

CM7 ported to LG optimus C :D

I DID IT!!!!!
I sat down for a few hours and tweaked CM7 to run on the C. EVERYTHING runs so far. You need to make no changes, just flash it.
If you have a recovery menu you know how to do it. Menu will be out very soon too.
Uploading now

Congrats! See if you can get the XDA folks to give you your own section. It should bring more attention to the port.

Keep programming, maybe post some pictures and what not and they would probably add an optimus c section i bet.
You are a Godsend. My buddy has an Optimus C. I found instructions for rooting, but was having a hard time scaring up ROMS. Any chance of some screen shots? Does this have an OC kernel?

No unfortunately it doesn't. Screenshots i'm working on (it saves them all in PNG which the site won't recognize).
An overclock kernel is being worked on, the base of this is the standard kernel. We do have one working but it's not ready for release yet.
So they will be up soon.
make sure he has the custom recovery menu. It won't flash properly without it. We worked a few days on that as well.

If you're using Shoot Me, you can set the prefs to save as jpg.
By custom recovery, do you mean the one in the stickied post or CWM?
Biggest thing is the speed of the default device, I'll keep an eye here and get serious when the OC kernel is ready.... I think I'll need a pretty compelling argument to get him to root. Thank you for all your hard work in this area.

Just curious since I didn't see any screenshots (he hasn't given me the nod yet, either) What kind of overclocks have you gotten and how is your battery life?
EDIT: Nevermind, I just saw it on the blog (read past it at first). 850 MHz? That's almost a 50% OC! The battery life at that speed question still remains. Also, don't see the FAQ link, or is it not up yet? Thanks a bundle. I've gotten fairly proficient with things on my Inspire, but the Optimus looks to be a slightly different monster.

I agree, except that it costs more money then VM. The Optimus V also has more support by devs.

Rom recommendation for Rogers gs3?

Looking to remove all bloat/Rogers crapware.... Better battery/performance always appreciated. I just got the phone today, I'm about to look around.... But if anyone can suggest a rom, I'd appreciate it
Thx
Anyone? Thx
Well theres not a whole lot of ROMS yet and Diet ICS is partly based off the Rogers rom so if you wanted to try a ROM I'd say try Diet. However, I'd suggest rooting your device and just removing bloat yourself for now.
Do you have a new thread up on redflag yet about the Rogers model you have? I read your i9100 last year and i9300 this year.
You probably know this but the i9300 has a lot more development at the moment so don't be shocked seeing only a few roms here and there. It will take time as it always does on the variants.
Not yet, I just grabbed this device last night because the price was right.... I just unlocked it now.... Now Rogers boot screen, so I guess it's just uninstalling apps? I'll give that a go, thx

Yours has a Rogers boot screen when you boot the phone up? I got mine at launch and it doesn't have any boot screen other than the Samsung screen that comes up. Just curious if in fact it does have Rogers branding during boot.
The problem right now flashing ROMs is that really only the AT&T ones work and you may end up losing the ability to turn off LTE since AT&T removed that ability. Also, you may end up with AT&T boot screen. I gotta tell you, I love LTE but I hate variants. lol. Miss my i9300 but don't miss the HSPA only connection which was very slow downtown

Do you know any themes with 1% battery that will work on Diet ICS since this rom does not come with 1% battery ...

[Q] Verizon Edge and rooted phone

Just ordered a Galaxy S4 through Verizon Edge and if I'm understanding correctly, the old phone has to be traded in. Currently the phone is rooted and running Chillybean's CM10.2 ROM. Do I need to return the phone to stock and "un-unlock" it in order to avoid any problems with Verizon?

I've heard mixed reports. If it's something you can easily do, then I say do it. At the very least, flash a "stock" Rom. I doubt they seriously inspect the device, but I could be wrong.
Wound up flashing a stock PG32IMG.zip image in recovery mode. Might still be S-OFF but are they really gonna know?

Not to bump an old thread like this, but how'd it work out?? I'm on Edge too and am about to order the LG G3. I have every intention of rooting it obviously.
Thanks in advance!

They haven't contacted me to complain or confirm receipt, so I guess they were happy enough with it?

The Verizon store closest to me isn't an "official" branch or something so I had to mail it. I hope whoever gets my old phone finds his way to this forum and gets his Jellybean on! I really HATED Gingerbread.

[Question/Request] Sprint G3 SUPPORT!!?

Are we ever going to see anything for us dreaded Sprint users...? At least a custom recovery ported over?? Please!? This LG os is total trash imo.. Laggy as all hell. Running on ART doesn't seem to help me either...
Please give me some advice besides leaving Sprint... Lol

The bootloader isn't unlocked yet. How many times does this same question have to be answered?

As soon as you provide a unlocked bootloader we'll be golden.
Not even a workaround possible? It's just been a while since the release I'm just wondering if anyone's cooking anything up for us..?
People are working on it.
The Sprint version is rootable. Most people find freezing all the bloatware with TiB speeds things up a lot. There are also some other threads here on things you can do to speed it up. Have you looked for them?
Thanks. I will try searching. I am rooted but I want to make a nandroid before tampering any further..

Unlocking the boot loader on this phone is no simple feat. I read LG got creative with locking the boot loader.

[Q] Am I overlooking things...?

Hey guys, I have a Sprint, SM-T807P (10.5" LTE/Snapdragon) version of the Tab S and I must say that I have been nothing short of impressed since the day I purchased it back in December. However, the one (major) downfall is that it seems 1 in 1000 Tab S owners actually have the 807P, which appears to be resulting in a virtual non-existent world of ROM's/custom kernels etc.
I was HOPING I am either over looking something, looking in the wrong location, or not aware of which other models may be compatible with mine.
I just Odin'd from DUH's KK ROM, to stock OE3 Lollipop, and was hoping to get re-rooted/CWR or TWRP installed and find myself a slick little ROM to install.
Is there any hope? lol Thanks in advance, ladies and gents!
Adding on to this. I bought the SM-T807P used (because it was a great deal) and I am only interested in running it through wifi. I dont need the LTE capability.
Somewhere I heard that some other Snapdragon roms will work, I'll just loose LTE functionality ... which is fine by me.
Does anyone have a list or can point me in the right direction for other roms that would work in wifi mode?
Or tell me which snapdragon roms will work?
It's already rooted and TWRP is installed. I'm just lacking in roms.
Thanks!

I'm sure @duh will gladly build an updated Rom for you guys if enough of you request it.
Maybe if you have enough knowledge you can build one for yourself and the other Sprint owners?

Did you ever receive any answers on this? I am in the same boat, I only have a gig or two of data on my Tab S, but have unlimited data on my Note 4, that's rooted+ROM'd, including the hotspot mod. So I could do without the LTE as well...
What exactly is it you are all expecting from a custom rom?
Practically all custom roms are simply debloated stock roms with maybe the odd extra thrown in.
There is nothing magic in a stock custom rom that you can't do yourself.
