Updating E986 with the official 'kitkat' 4.4.2 Firmware Release - LG Optimus G Pro

edit:
Lg Server is up again:
here the official E986 kitkat 4.4.2 update:
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW428306432109876543213/E98620A_00.kdz
Some of the things you will get with this E986 firmware upgrade :
+ support for a large number of european languages
+ well working samba server
+ well working Windows "LG On-Screen Phone"
+ knock-off screen
+ free 50 gb cloud storage at "box" and other goodies when registering at "LG Smart World" app
+ adaptive network settings tailored on measure for the european provider landscape .
(There are user reports indicating that LTE services of some smaller providers are not integrated into the system yet)
please see post #4, #5 for further informations as well as cloud storage links to the E986 upgrade
Some general Information:
A majority of the posts here and in other gpro threads come from people that apparently dont use this device .
It is one of the sequels of swiss government's/parapolice's sell-out of LG stakes that they were once keeping. Unfortunately along with this my wife is kept now for the 15th consecutive year fully illegally imprisoned at the vienna airport(where i am right now)
...guess I had to give you an idea where most of the absurdity in this thread comes from.
Sorry

what is the fewest sour kitkat on e986?
deleted:
explanation in the following post

A turkish e986 kitkat update seems to be published.
Where is it available?
Since the e986 update situation is still rather difficult, it would be fine to have a place where relevant information is neatly collected and displayed.
edit:
As reported by smartphenom.com the update was already published in mid july.
Some bizare internet users (but certainly not GPro owners) called it "turkish rom", so that many GPro owners (like myself ) wouldn't be aware of it.
At least we know now for certain that LG did the job and some other bizare people that wanted to harm us E986 owners for reasons we will never understand tried (and still try) to hide it.

luckily this thread is at the point of getting pointless:
here is the inofficial release of the first official e986 kitkat firmware (it supports an amazingly large number of european languages )
the precise version denomination:
E98620a-EUR-XX
From my dropbox:
E98620A_00.kdz
From my Mega account:
E98620A_00.kdz

to get a data/internet connection:
Settings->Tethering & networks->Mobile networks->Access point names->tap menu button->chose "New APN"->fill in the first 2 lines:
do not think too much about it, the software does it for you as soon as there is anything filled into the first 2 lines of the access point settings form;
try something like: mydata
then tap menu button and "save".
note :
APN settings can be easily cleared to prevent unwanted [costly] data connections --> your GPro will then behave like a traditional GSM phone.

let me say the official e986 kitkat update is really good
[and..we all know by now how much better life would taste without illegal preservatives (police ****)]
in case the LG server is too busy:
E98620A_00.kdz
..

the empire strikes back
Very sadly the dark side continues to deny the existence of the very fine E-986 4.4.2 update. [download links in post 4&5]
Have a look at the "kitkat ..soon official" thread to be introduced to contemporary strategies of disinformation.
May the power be with you
so that life gets at least a chance to be good to all of us!

Does it delete the data when i flash this?
Sent from my LG-E986 using XDA Free mobile app

well..
according to my personal experience the data partition will not be overwritten by the LG update software. This is also the reason why a full reset after flashing might help if something doesn't work as it should.
So... it is certainly a good idea to backup as well and as much as possible beforehand.

Hello i flashed the KK rom, but now i have no lte. It is showing that i can only connect with 2g and 3g. Is there a solution?

With Jelly-Bean and Kitkat E-986 stock firmware the 4g option will only show up when your sim-card is allowed to hook into the LTE service.

What I definitely could observe is that the network settings menu on e986 stock kitkat changes with different network providers.
i.e with hutchinson "3" in Austria which doesn't provide 2g/GSM in the more populated areas [and switches to 2G only on the countryside], the "2G only" options disappear from the network settings menu and the network mode pop-up window. [To display them as non available would be more customer friendly, I guess]
Anyway I can't believe that there are GPro users who honestly believe being better off in Europe with a taiwanese firmware.

According to smartphenom.com the firmware was released on july 17, 2014 for the original 'Aturbk' package.
Since people called it consequently "turkish rom" instead of "first firmware release" LG didn`t get any support from the users to withstand the pressure from those police/stasi weirdos that messed up this thing.
I guess in our own interest we shouldn't call this official release "rom" anymore if we want LG to link it to all the other original packages.

What have you done? Did you flash E98620a or E98820a?
If you flash E98620a (turkish) then you might wont see 4g option.
If you flash E98820a (asian) then you will get 4g option but only english language
and some asian languages

Section for Optimus TrueHD LTE (P936)

Hi all. Since the LG Optimus TrueHD LTE has now came out in some regions of Europe and more others to come next, it would be useful if we could create a section of the forum dedicated to this phone. It maybe similar to the Nitro HD but since it is model P936 some things are different it would justify a dedicated section. So if anyone agrees just leave your thoughts.

As far as we know, there are no hardware differences between the LG Nitro HD (P930) and the P936. The ROMs are the same, so we should not split the forums.

The LTE frequencies on the Nitro HD are different from the ones on the TrueHD. And the TrueHD comes stock with Android 2.3.6 and a different version of the Optimus UI. There are quite some differences between the two phones even though they look similar in hardware.

Don't know about the LTE frequency of Telus but if it is P936 it maybe on of the same of the TrueHD. However there are some region specific settings that come with such specific roms.
A reason to create a separate section (like the one for the Optimus LTE) would be to help european users of the TrueHD LTE to get specific support for this device with the roms for the European carriers and countries.
Maybe a single post dedicated to it could be enough but in my opinion it is very useful to have a dedicated section for it.

No, they are identical devices (hardware). The only difference is the antennae they have installed for LTE. This site has never split a device forum based only on differences in antennae. That would be ridiculous. (There would be 5 times as many subforums if they did that.)
Differences in default software don't warrant separate subforums either.

The LU-6200 actually has hardware differences compared to the P930. The kernels are not compatible between the two devices, for example. On the other hand, everything about the P936 is (to the best of our knowledge at this time) totally compatible with P930 and P935.

The Telus phone is P935, not P936.
not 100% even till now no method to root p936 even use the 930 tools
If they are same hardware , any suggestion that can root P936
you might have to wait until another version of superoneclick comes out that supports your phone. Another thing that COULD work but might be risky is flashing an older KDZ from a p930 that is rootable. I don't know if your radio would work with the other KDZ, but if you could re-flash your original baseband, it COULD work.

How to insert unlock code
I have a LG P936 (almost the same as P930 but a Portuguese version) which is locked to Vodafone Portugal.
I've seen that this mobile phone can be unlock via IMEI, if I buy the unlock code. By this method I should insert it when the mobile phone ask for a unlock code.
Well, to try I've inserted a non allowed SIM but my mobile phone doesn't ask for this unlock code. But It still doesn't connect to the network, so I believe it is really locked.
I would like to know if anyone have the same problem or if knows how to insert this code?
PS: My LG p936 have the Cyanogenmod cm10.1.3-RC1.

Finally I solved this problem. I think I was not allowed to insert the unlock code because I had the Cyanogenmod installed. I have done the following steps:
- Download and install the stock factory rom: "HO!NO!_Rom_Bell_Optimus_LTE-P936_Full_stock_signed" and installed it normally by ClockworkMod Recovery
- Install the LG B2CAppSetup, connect with the phone and update to the last version (in this case, V20C = Android 4.0.4"
- Dial 2945#*936# and VOILÁ: The unlock secret menu is now displayed.
I think the main problem is the cyanogenmod which doesn't allow to access to the unlock secret menu.
Now Just buy an unlock code via ebay, for example, it costs $1.89 and you have your mobile phone unlocked.

LG E975 - No LTE Option

Hello Everyone,
Hopefully this issue can be solved, as I'm using stock Android JB 4.1.2 (E97510h-EUR-XX) on my device and there is no LTE option in:
- System Settings> More...> Mobile Networks> Network Mode
Now, I believe it can be enabled by making a change to persist.radio.lteon as found here:
- https://community.vodafone.ie/t5/Network/Supported-4G-Phones/td-p/137830/page/1
However, it requires root access and as far as I'm aware, there is no root exploit for E97510h-EUR-XX at this time:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249033&page=2
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163814&page=5
Here are my questions:
1. Is there any method to replace or edit persist.radio.lteon without rooting my device?
2. If 1 is not an option, is there any method to successfully root my device?
3. If 2 is possible, can I unroot and will this process be undetectable?
Any help is much appreciated :good:

He hasn't bought a Korean Optimus G, but an E975. But for some reason if you put a SIM card from one carrier in the phone you cannot choose LTE, but if you put in a SIM from a different carrier you get the option to choose LTE. That's because LG has had the brilliant idea to block LTE for some carriers on an LTE enabled phone.
You can try contacting LG so they release an update so that LTE will be enabled for your carrier, but it would be faster to root your phone and adjust the build.prop like you said in the first post.

lg doesn't block nobody .. the carrier needs send u setting .. dont u remember when 3g came up they been sending settings over SMS ? APN settings and MMS settings ? nowdays it is up to carrier send update over network NOT via sms .. and those carriers who has settings ready then 4g doesnt work ..

Why bother putting Korean software on your European phone and risk having a bad experience (due to the fact that Korean software is guess what optimized for Korean carriers)? When you can just root your device and change the build .prop which is less trouble and less risky to perform than to put a Korean software on it.
But to answer the question of the TS. You can root the E975 10 H firmware. I used Framaroot, and it works fine. You can read all about in the thread FAQ (Freaking Annoying Questions) in the Q and A section.

risky ? how can be risky .. so people here happily flashing third party roms and that's alright and when try to use original official rom then is risky ????! man are you OK?
optimized for their carriers ? no .. only APPS are included .. and those apps can be easily ignored ..
i think that your buildprop editing is risky .. ordinary people wont be messing with customizing files
wait for carrier till end of march then
I dont need to read nothing for me all working am enjoying LTE(4G) u dont it is your problem what u do ..
do what u want ..
Chill out dude. I'm only trying to help the TS out. He didn't ask anything about flashing a ROM, only to solve his problem with or without root.
Flashing any custom ROM is more risky than rooting a device. As it involves more steps then just rooting. So why make it hard for yourself?
Flashing a Korean ROM would mean flashing a KDZ file (that's the way I changed the E975 10 H back to E975 10 D) and that process probably changes the baseband of your phone(which is not the right one for the E975), so it could definitely influence the experience and battery life, etc.
You say that ordinary people won't mess with the build.prop file but they won't have any problem with flashing a Korean ROM?
BTW: There is no need in quoting the very last post everytime you make a comment, as it is clear what you're replying on.

That quote button has reason to be there .. that is why am using it ... And people know which answer belongs to particular person ..
for me is easy flash kdz ... and then obviously u need to flash modem back .. that is not hard too ..
And u are right in only one thing .. yes when people changing roms flashing then phone drains battery .. yes when I converted to E975 my F180S battery was very very bad .. I flashed original korean back and battery is much much better .
Like I said you can try korean if no leave it and wait for carrier to sort it out .. but they have time tho
No one here recommends to flash korean kdz in international versions nd vice versa too... Try some othr rooting methods nd try to change the build.prop.... Have yu tried moto chopper root method...??
Edit: looks lyk moto chopper method doesn't help yu... Yu cant yu downgrade ur software nd root it....

But to answer the question of the TS. You can root the E975 10 H firmware. I used Framaroot, and it works fine. You can read all about in the thread FAQ (Freaking Annoying Questions) in the Q and A section.

No one here recommends to flash korean kdz in international versions nd vice versa too... Try some othr rooting methods nd try to change the build.prop.... Have yu tried moto chopper root method...??
Edit: looks lyk moto chopper method doesn't help yu... Yu cant yu downgrade ur software nd root it....

[Q] Easiest way to convert F180K to English version

Hello,
I am using LG Optimus G Kirean version for over 6 months. Phone/Battery life everything is great. Recently official kit kat update was released and now it is running KK. The only problem is that as I am using it in Pakistan I can't use Data Network or 3G. I talked to my network operator and they say phone must be converted to English rom then it will work.
The problem is that I am really a noob at this and don't want to brick my phone. So is there any easy and low risk method to convert my phone to English version without losing signals or any other problem. If possible please give a detailed step by step method as I am really new here.
Here are details:
F180-K
Android Version 4.4.2
Kernel Version 3.4.0
Build Number KOT49I.F180K30c

That is answer from someone at the network operator who not know the anything about the phone or data in general.
You just need the setting for data network to make it work Data & 3G will work on the same Korean rom however no operator video call because that feature is specific to Korean operator in the Korean rom.
There are many guides available in the forum and making Backup of your phone is a good idea before doing anything
Well I have done settings multiple time and settings are 100% correct however data or 3g doesn't work. They say that this phone stores settings in Korean at the backend and network can't read it.

Basically i did setting my operator apn to make it works (calls and Data) in Indonesia. Currently im using korean version F180L.

Thanks a lot. I was about to give up. Then I tried one more time for APN and it works now
Check for 3G bands in 3845#*180#
You should be GSM 900/1800 for Calling and
UMTS 2100 for 3G
And setting should be WCDMA preffered or GSM/WCDMA

LG Spirit H440N/H440Y/H422/H442F Stock ROM List

I created this thread to link all stock ROM's for LG Spirit, namely H440N, H440Y, H422 and H442F variants of it.
If you have any question ask it in LG Spirit General Thread (author @polfrank ) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/lg-spirit-h440n-thread-t3108435
All ROM's should be listed from newer to older so be warned. Also whenever I can,I would write from which mobile operator it is and from which country.

Changelog
Update #1 (20.06.2015 @ 3:05 CEST)
Started thread
Added v10c_00 based firmwares on list
Added other kdz files from General thread
I would like to ask:
If anyone has done the update via OTA it would be nice to see the changelog and know what's new and if an update is worth the time.
Changelog
Update #2 (20.6.2015. @ 21:34 CEST)
Added v10f_00 Indian kdz for H422 variant of device
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
@polfrank yeah it would be nice to see what are changes, but unfortienatly I can't see that because I'm pulling kdz files from few trusted sources which don't say what is new
Are these kdz files derived from the LG site using IMEI codes?
Changelog
Update #3 (25.6.2015. @ 22:03 CEST)
Added support for H440Y ROMs
Renamed thread to add support for H440Y phone
Added v10d_00 Taiwanese ROM to list at H440Y variant of phone
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
@ShinOrochiX seems that all kdz files are collected via IMEI code from LG site and all should work great no matter of your IMEI
Also if somebody find newer variant of ROM for any of named devices in first post and in thread name contact me via PM or post link here in thread so I can edit #1 post
Changelog
Update #4 (27.06.2015 @ 14:03 CEST)
Added v10f German firmware for H440N
Added v10f from unknown country ( Credits: @deni-brasco for submitting it in General thread, but next time please write from which country it is)
This is H440n Portugal/Switzerland edition:
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW4BKUG13267AM42E0811ZR/H440n10f_00.kdz
The one provided by deni-brasco is H440n Italy edition.
Changelog
Update #5 (27.06.2015 @ 17:18 CEST)
Added v10f firmware from Portugal and Switzerland (same kdz), thanks @polfrank for giving it
Updated v10f from Unknown country to Italy, same thing go to polfrank and again thanks deni-brasco for submmiting it.

Upgrade or clean install? I mean CSF Flash or Normal Flash via LG Flash Tool? I ask that because I want to do Normal flash without wiping anything (it is annoying to set up 5 different e-mail addresses for 5 different things like college, private, hangouts, youtube etc)

Normal flash. It keeps all your data with no problem. You just have to reroot and set xposed again.
LG Spirit H440N Stock rom
Hello everyone.
I have a sim free LG Spirit H440N handset. I got it free of charge from 3UK, who sell all their phones unlocked. Unfortunately, it has a 3 splashscreen on boot, and other 3 stuff built in. Is there a stock rom available, that has none of the 3 bloatware in it? If so, where is it, and how do I flash it? I would rather not root the phone if I can help it; although I will do so if it is necessary. Is there a method to return it back to the 3 version, if necessary? I have rooted phones before, and installed custom roms, etc; but not for a while. I thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer me.

Hi,
I also have the Three customised firmware-I don't like it either. There is a way to download the firmware, check here. As for firmware without Three's crap in it we'll have to wait for a non-network UK retailer to list it, then if we can get an IMEI, be it from a store display unit, we can download and flash that firmware (when it becomes available). But I don't know if anyone other than Three will sell it, Three has had it for about 2 months even though it was exclusive to them only for 1 month.

Thanks ShinOrochix. So nothing to do but wait then. There's no need for the stuff that 3 put in the phone firmware. It doesn't have a huge memory to start with, and these extra files are just an unnecessary inconvenience.

Yeah, useless bloatware. I just got rid of some of it but am stuck with the bootscreen, rather not root the device yet. As for memory, your right, with all my stuff installed I got just under 2GB free, had about 4GB on my previous Xperia-but who's to complain, the Spirit is a great phone.
I'm in the same boat as you. I debloated as much as I could, but I can't get rid of the bootscreen. The 3 logo sits there for ages. I downloaded a couple of boot animation changer apps, but they didn't work. Perhaps the apps were set to look in the wrong location for the stock boot animation. More investigation needed into the phone's file structure, I reckon.
Hi, I'm Italian and I bought this phone today. On "ABOUT PHONE" I can read version "V10C" but I don't know if is really V10c, or v10f. I want only a stock italian firmware NO BRAND!!! I hate all that apps by TIM!!!
Which firmware do you suggest me???
Hi guys, I have found this site......can be useful???
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=168
Hello. In this site it is being claimed that there is a v10d version of the firmware for LG H440N. (I know the picture of the phone is wrong, but it seems they got it right on which smartphone they're talking about...)
http://www.hanfei.name/kdz-download...-v10b-v10c-v10d-v10e-v10f-stock-firmware.html
In gaodi.net there has been a V10d version a while ago but it was only in some weird versions like Spain Orange, Portugal Orange, Poland Optimus (see here) so I haven't tried it. Has anyone tried it? Is it really v10d or is it like the others, where v10e=v10b and v10f=v10c ?? So maybe v10d is actually v10a??

Update: LG V500N U carrier Android 10 beta OTA

Grab it while you can!!! Here it is:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1z8tLelF332kVfnE3Gi6zNH8oWCjeUE63
:good::highfive:
Waiting for crossflashing maybe this month we will have it. :highfive:
Do not try to crossflash! It will brick! First we must have working crossflashing between carriers, then crossflash to U carrier firmware , then flash this OTA.
Có ai thử chưa nhỉ?

It seems that LG is pushing the 10 beta to all koreans vi aota update.
To be able to receive it you must sign in in Quick Help app.
Unfortunately we have 2 problems:
1. Korean menu
2. We need a Korean lg account. I've tried creating one, also Facebook login, but it signs out me. Unfortunately I don't have the time to test with VPN. Also after successfully login we still need to go through the menu in korean language and sign in for the beta.
Maybe someone from Korea would help us. Maybe he can directly saveand give us the OTA. It will be downloaded on the main storage in a hidden folder.
Please help us if you live in Korea either with an account and menu step by step to subscribe to beta, or with the OTA saved as zip. Thx.

I was able to sign up for an LG account using a Google account so I am able to navigate the Quick Help app. But since I don't know Korean, I have been taking screenshots and using Google Translate to try to navigate. It's painful and slow and I have yet to find anything. I wonder if the OTA simply gets pushed over time after you sign up in the Quick Help app. I've tried using a VPN to South Korea and checking for an update manually in the system settings but nothing has popped up. I may try to find some one locally that speaks Korean to help me out, unless some one already knows what to do in the Quick Help app?

Good news and bad news.
Good news is that I've managed to register on Quick Help app with an account from Korea.
Bad news is that I didn't find the beta enrollment join program. It's not available yet. Daaaamn.
I've spent like 2 hours translating screenshots with Google Lens...
This is 19a for the 3 Korean variants

Hello. It depends on what carrier your V50 will be. You should flash the carrier's one. For KT and U carriers you must be on v11o - September patch
For SKT carrier it will be v11q. But Kan, who has SKT, is having problems in installing it. Just be sure you don't upgrade to October patch by mistake.
LG-UP 1.16 does not support crossflashing, even korean carrier.
