Need Info for Freegee Update

All you pesky non American's I need some info from you.
Device (i.e tellus/rogers/korean S)
ro.lge.swversion=
Does current freegee boot.img work fine for you?
If the answer to #3 is no, please upload a boot.img for me.
For you e975 folks, support is coming, I'm reworking the entire backed to make future new device and version easier. Right now though I just need this info.
Thanks in advance.

Device: F180L
swversion: F180L20L
FreeGee does not work. Device is successfully rooted. Attempted using latest version from Play Store. Please post terminal command to extract boot.img

Works only on stock ROM right? Like the info that you want? Because I'm running SnowJB right now, which is an AT&T ROM.

Shellnutt said FG doesnt support korean 4.1.2 boot yet.
Also he said he can provide a steps (if really needed) and promised the support will be added in a week.
That was almost 1.5 month ago

How is rom porting related to korean JB support in the freegee?
Ah, probably found the reason of misunderstood: I bought the freegee app (donate), the app still doesnt support korean JB at the moment.

Okay please read this carefully.
Freegee has gone under a near complete rewrite in order to make it easier to add support for new varients and software versions. It's now a very simply process for me and doesn't involve updating the app anymore. This also will allow me to add newer and better recovories.
That said this is a highly beta version. Lot of debugging code is still in there, I just need more people to test it. I've used it fine, but someone else soft bricked. I've tried to get people on irc to test so I can help in real time but alas I didn't get many offers at all. So I'm posting this here. Please though don't use this unless you know how to kdz/lgnpst back to stock. This might blow up your phone, until I get people to actually test it more than myself and skdubg did I can't know.

EU and Korean kt_kr (180k) support is added! Candians are left out cause no one would give me your lgswverion build props
edit: Also is F180L20L lgu_kr or skt_kr? I'm guessing lgu, but just want to verify.

Thank you for specifying, 180L now has initial support for version F180L20L.
As far as not being able to unlock, I'd like to get a few more people to test it to make sure you aren't one of the special ones that need the sbl stack in addtion to new bootloader. That is what skdubg for his eu E975 needed.

Ok I'll wait for the next version.
if you need I will test again with the new version

I got a question for you, why would you want to use freegee if you already have bootloader unlocked ? Plus he clearly say non american in the OP, from what I know, AT&T is american. So, to answer clearly your question, NO, he doesnt need your info.

Kitkat OTA

I have an m on jb rooted with safe strap is it possible to let it take the OTA to kitkat then root with tr and unlock the bootloader? If it can update will it give me the version that can't be unlocked? If I can't do the OTA how else can I get it on the right version of kitkat?

This has everything you need... Use rsd lite to upgrade to kk make sure you upgrade to 182/183.46.10 so you can unlock the boot loader
We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.

Do you have a link to a download of the kk software? I'm at work looking at this on a phone don't see a link in that thread to it

Read through the thread linked to above and make sure you understand. There have been many people getting stuck at .15 and we don't want you to be one of them!
Firmware for use with RSD Lite: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8 . Note that unlike OTAs, flashing with RSD Lite will make you lose your data and your internal storage contents - back up first. Use the 183.46.10 one, and if you want to unlock your BL, DO NOT TAKE THE OTA TO 183.46.15! I SAY IT AGAIN, DO NOT UPDATE TO 183.46.15!!

Huh? The firmware's version is KitKat. You need the full firmware to be on KitKat and unlock your bootloader.
Bonus info: after upgrading to KitKat and unlocking, if you find KitKat's battery performance isn't satisfactory, you can always downgrade back to Jelly Bean using the guide in General section, and because this will not relock your bootloader, you're safe to do this.
If you have any trouble doing the above, read through the guide and other forum posts, and if no answer comes up, feel free to ask.

I wrote that the wrong way. What I mean is the firmware file listed is a 750mb file. For my m8 the 4.4.4 firmware update was only 24mb. This leads me to believe that this file includes a kk rom to go along with the firmware. Read a little more(light bulb went on) I thought firmware and roms were always two separate things. . . Duh now I understand why just the one file is needed. I will give this a shot when I get up. Thanks for the help again. Sorry I was asking the wrong question ☺

Thanks andyyan and dbreezy187 all worked out got it done eventually ☺

Ha, he hasn't unlocked his BL yet, so just let him upgrade and do it. After unlocking BL he can still downgrade to JB and maybe even flash CM11 for JB BL (and that's what I recommend).

Thanks again for your help. Now that I'm all unlocked I've seen a lot of stuff about jb and kk bl. I would assume I have a kk bl? Then if I downgrade to jb would have a jb bootloader. Do you have a favorite kk rom and a favorite jb rom? Is downgrading any more difficult than doing all the unlocking? This phone isn't my daily driver just kinda having fun with it ☺ sorry for the barrage of questions you seem waaayyyy more knowledgeable than I. Thanks again

The BL version is the same as your *stock* OS version, so because you now have stock KitKat, you're on KK BL. However, BL version is *not* tied to your custom ROM OS version. You can have KitKat with JB BL as well.
Please do note that some custom ROMs are built for a specific BL (e.g. CM11 has JB BL and KK BL variants).
As for now, it seems that most if not all ROMs for KK BL have minor but annoying issues, particularly in WiFi, BT and GPS, so if you want to avoid these issues, you can follow the guide in General section to downgrade to *stock* JB (in order to have JB BL - this will not relock your BL), then flash any JB BL ROM you want.
I'm always a CM fan so I load most of my devices with CM (see my signature), but if your RAZR is also a secondary device, you can try all the choices out there without worries, so why not?

Hmm, what do you intend to do? If it's flashing something in the AP Fastboot mode (e.g. boot logos, raw partition images) then no ADB. Custom recoveries and the OS itself accepts ADB commands pretty well, provided that you know how to use.

Looks good. Since you have a unlocked BL, there's near zero risk for trying anything (RSD's your best friend when everything fails) - go ahead if you feel adventurous.

Since I don't know what boot logost and raw partitions are don't think I'll need it. I know enough about adb to be dangerous ☺ I can usually bumble fk my way through and get it to work. Thanks again I'll give some of this stuff a shot and have you on speed dial if I really mess up

LG G3 (D855) - root, unlock and install custom

Okay, if you have the knowledge to know which rom you want on your phone, you should know how to use the search button my friend. I don't want to sound mean, but I'm very tired of babysitting people when this topic is all over the forums and can easily be found within 30 seconds of doing a Google search. You need to learn that the community loves to help people, but only if they can help themselves. And you should read the forum rules and never post anything in the Orginal Android Development sub-thread of the G3 forum because that is for actual development only, not questions, and not to be harsh, but you wont ever have anything to add to that. Also, since you apparently can't even do a simple search, I'll go ahead and warn you to be careful about what roms you flash and only flash ones specifically for the D855. I also ask that you read EVERYTHING on the OP's page before even downloading the rom. That being said, to start getting your phone ready to flash, you need to first root your phone with StumpRoot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
After you have carefully following all of these instructions and you have properly working superuser access with SuperSU installed on your device, then you can proceed to installing a Bump'd version of TWRP for your phone. Once again, make sure you download the correct file for you variant and follow this guide verbatim:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...mp-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-d852-d852g-f400-t2900614
Once that is done, you should download whatever rom it is you want to flash, IF AND ONLY IF IT IS FOR THE D855. I cannot stress enough how important it is that you don't flash a rom for a different variant. Follow all directions on the OP's page and you should be good to go.
Good luck on all this but next time, please learn to search before you start a new thread. This topic is literally all over the forums and is so easy to Google and find out for yourself in no time. If people would just read they could figure out a lot more without having to let others do the thinking for them.

[Q] Sorry, noob question! Can I root 5.0?

Morning Folk! I've just got the G3 SIM Free in the UK and allowed it to do all the updates it wanted (lots). It's now sitting at android 5.0. I'd like to remove mcafe from it but I've read I need root to do that - but from what I can see the tools on the forum don't seem to support 5.0, is this correct?
Cheers!

Questions about unlock with MM to flash custom rom

I have been reading this forum for several weeks.
My goal is to install cyanogen13.0 but unfortunately my research did not allow me to clarify several issues ...
I know you can tell me to go read and search but I have done that ... made questions on some topics ... but I still have doubts.
If someone can help me:
- Unlock bootloder
I have last MM version (4.21.40.223) how can i unlock bootloder? with the official asus app? In that case i have to downgrade to Lollipop?
Can i use this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ze...nfone2-android-6-0-beta-unlock-t3411264/page4
with 4.21.40.223?
- Twrp
