Hi guys
Bootloader unlockers/lockers from recovery are here.
Easy method to unlock & relock Optimus G bootloader.
Good things about these zips:
1. No running OS is needed.
2. You don't have to be on lg stock roms.
3. Work much faster & easier. Less than a minute.
4. You will still have custom recovery after locking your bl.
How to use?
Using bumped recovery, flash them like other zips in recovery.
Don't have recovery?
Flash a bumped recovery img (inside of the attached zips) with an app like Flashify or Kernel Adiutor or etc.
Note: BL unlockers flash unlocked bootloader + Philz/CWM recovery. Booting up on unlocked BL needs unlocked kernel.
So in stock roms, don't forget to flash an unlocked kernel, like unlocked stock kernel or solid kernel or etc...
Anyway in case of any problem, there is no worry because you can always access to Philz touch(for E975) or CWM(for other variants) recovery.
I could only test E975 ones. Other variants unlockers must also work. But you are the testers...

Please Note:
1. I'm waiting for your feedbacks. Please give feedback with name of your variants.
2. I didn't have stock bootloader files for other variants, so I could make bootloader locker for E975 only.
Some guides:
1. How to flash boot/recovery .img in Kernel Auditor?
In the Backup section of the app, use Flash IMG button, then select your .img file (extract them from zips), then select the partition to flash (boot/recovery).
2. You can use your own bumped recovery img, using the bump tool
3. On locked bootloader you can enter to recovery with hardreset method.
4. After flashing Makoz30f Flasher (not after unlocking, unlocking is ok), it will also flash bootloader tz.img & rpm.img.
Flashing Mako rpm.img will cause false heat issue on LG roms so your screen brightness will not go further than 63%(& cpu clock speed further than 1188000). E975 unlocker & relocker zips will replace tz & rpm partitions with stock ones. So you can use them to fix this problem.
Whats mean stockboot?
Btw thanks, no instal freegee to unlock bl , nice job

for other variants of og, after unlocking, you need to flash an unlocked kernel, but for E975, if you use the zip that has stockboot, you dont need to do anything & it flashes the kernel for you.

Since Gee3 rom has better speed & LTE support in our stock roms, I'm making Gee3 v1.3 & I'm testing it, but with this kind of statistics , it seems there's no motivation no replays about its working on other variants...

MMK instruction
Hi MMK,
I'm a total newbie and it's the first time i've ever flashed a device, my E975 is completely stock (but i've root privilege and su is installed). I've installed flashify and downloaded a zip (i don't have a special kernel at the moment do you suggest stockboot). Now i've unzipped the folder on the phone but i'm uncertain about what to do now, there are a lot of images and i really don't know where to flash what. Can you suggest a more detailed procedure?
Thank you for the effort and thanks in advance.
great job bro ^_^

Hi, If your bootloader isn't already unlocked:
In flashify you must choose recovery image from flash section, then choose the Philz.recovery.img you've extracted.
Then press reboot to recovery from options & simply flash the zips in recovery mode to lock or unlock your bootloader.
Make sure to use your own variant zip.

If you want stock based roms like Sling Kahroba,
Before unlocking, flash a bumped recovery & install the bumped Sling Kahroba... Easy.
PS: you can't use lockers because they're only for E975 variant.

first of all, make sure your lgog is rooted and unlocked.
then follow the instruction from the thread.. flash the ROM first, then flash the kernel.
but I would suggest you don't do it because by looking at your post, I don't think you know anything about what you intended to do.
read more about custom roms and kernel before trying, don't regret later when you brick your phone..

First, you have to root and unlock your phone. You can skip the flash steps TWRP.
Next, download the file and put 2 Pacman rom and kernel Kite V16 in memory.
Now, reboot the phone and Recovey mode.
wipe done 3 times. Then flash ROM and Kernel 2 files.
Reboot and enjoy.
I suggest using cwm or cwm touch. Twrp gives errors sometimes.

try your luck in kite kernel thread, maybe someone have done similar things like what you did and have a solution for that.
I have no idea as I am still using the stock rom and haven't have the intention to flash my phone yet, so din't do much research on it.
Still the same advice, make sure to read & search before start doing anything. Cry won't help when you bricked your phone.

FOR UNLOCKED BL

VOILA!!! device is now rooted and has working recovery
PS
Will only work for ZL that can be bootloader unlock.
Hit thanks if it helps you.
Don't put Locked BL in the title, you only managed to root because your phone was unlockable. Putting Locked BL in the title states that your bootloader can also be locked for this method to work, and but unless your ZL can be bootloader unlocked, this method cannot be used for locked BL

Hi,
I am just writing these steps to help those who want to downgrade from KK to JB due to any reason. Please use these steps at your own risk.
Some Background:
Recently I updated my Razr M to KK, it was Locked and Unrooted, but with the help of Twelroot and Motopocalypse I rooted and unlocked the BL.
Now somehow I didn't like the KK and wanted to go back to JB 4.1.2 because I was now having unlocked BL and rooted phone so it was easy but need to follow some steps to successfully downgrade to JB. So an unlocked BL and rooted with KK is must.
Prerequisite:
USB drivers for Razr M must be installed before proceeding.
Steps:
1. download the firmware file [Android 4.1.2
Blur_Version.98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US] from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8
2. extract the above archive and replace the XML file with the one in attachment.
3. put the phone into fastboot mode and flash the firmware with RSD Lite (attached)
4. reboot and now you have JB 4.1.2
If you want to install root application again and also want to flash custom recovery then please follow the Post#5 [ATTACK] (thanks ATTACK)
Note : for custom recovery you will need the fastboot.exe if you don't have it then install minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.1.3_setup.exe(attached).
Put the phone in fastboot mode, copy the recovery to c:\ and execute the below command :
fastboot flash recovery [Path to recovery image]
If it help you then don't forget to press Thanks button !
Forgive my ignorance but this won't downgrade the kernel will it? I'm hoping it's possible to go from the newest OTA to the stable CM11 but I'm guessing this is new kernel JB. Either way thanks if I can't go to stable CM11 I'll stick with rooted 4.1.2.
Once you have a unlocked bootloader, you do not need to use "root programs". All you need to do is flash a custom recovery via Mfastboot / fastboot then flash SuperSU / Superuser.
In dhacker29's folder there are 2 different recoveries.
"msm8960" is for 4.1.2
"KITKAT" is for 4.4.2

The steps are tested by my 2 times, and there shouldn't be any problem. Make sure you have installed the correct drivers.
Please ensure that your bootloader is unlocked and shows BL unlocked status code 3 on BL screen.
I was also able to successfully flash back to JB with House of Moto via fast boot and full data wipe. It would not work with Universal or Keep Data, had to do full data wipe. Just another alternative :good:

Thanks You Its a Success Downgrade From 4.4 stock > CM11 > Stock rom 4.1 Thank you so much !!!
For those undergoing the downgrade process in RSD Lite and it takes forever for it to finish and the system ends up without data/signal, you need to RSD Lite flash again in order to regain signal. I believe the flashing was sluggish due to the jump from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2 and the many changes that were reflashed.

We have a wiener!
Thank you so much for the guide. After a lot of trial and error (mostly error), I thought that I had bricked my lovely XT907. I finally restored KitKat by flashing the 4.4.2 firmware with the edited XML file (deleting lines with "Getvar", "var" and "oem" in them), then followed your guide to the letter and found myself with a perfectly functional phone once again. No more sticky fastboot loops or audio-related crashes for me!
Lovely guide - thanks again! :laugh:

Unlocked bootloder is required. After you need to flash a custom kernel with recovery, boot into recovery, select install zip and choose zip with ArchiDroid.

Bump!for LG Optimus G
Hi OG community. Bump for Optimus G is here.
Now OG users can use Custom Roms & Recoveries on LG locked Bootloader with ease!
What is Bump?
Its a kind of hack for LG Stock bootloader. We can call it new unlock method!
You can flash anything that's been Bump'd, and Bump'ing a boot/recovery image is easy to do.
Two things you need to have for flashing custom roms:
1. Custom kernel- 2.Custom recovery on LG locked bootloader?
Now both are possible

How to Bump Recovery & Boot(kernel) images?
Unfortunately the bump site is gone. But we can use the Bump tool instead (by mronly1love).
Download it from attachments.
Put "boot.img" into bump folder and run "bumped.bat"
or
open cmd and type: bump.exe boot.img or recovery.img
or
drag *.img on bump.exe and drop it

Does it mean that we can flash CyanogenMod based Roms on Stock Bootloader?
Yes. I can confirm it since I've booted up with lollipop roms with no problem.

How about Custom Recoveries?
It works! Entered Philz touch & CWM touch on stock Bl easily.

How to enter Recovery on stock Bootloader while Off?
Hardreset:
Turn off the phone. Press and hold power & volume down until you see first LG logo. While holding volume down ,Release Power & press-hold it again until you see the hardreset screen.
Now press power 2 times & the phone will enter to the Recovery.

Click to collapse
Won't it perform a factory/hard reset?
Yes & No:
If you have already flashed custom recovery, then there is no stock recovery to do that.
-You can enter to Philz touch & CWM this way safely.
-But not for TWRP v2.x.
Remember that TWRP will perform a factory reset(without wiping media(sdcard)) anytime you flash it!
-TWRP V3 doesn't perform factory reset anymore, but some versions of it don't work correctly, a working one built by dadi11 is here:
Bump-Folder
-Don't flash back LG Stock Recovery.
-So BACKUP YOUR ROM & PERSONAL DATA at least for first time entering to each Recovery

How to Bump your CustomRoms?
You need to Bump the Boot.img, which is inside the CustomRom.zip
-- Extract the boot.img. Bump it. Replace it with the old one in the Rom.zip
or
-- Extract the "boot.img". Bump it. Copy your Bumped "boot.img" to the "Bumped_boot.zip" in attachments. Flash it after flashing the Rom.

You can use Flashify to flash Boot/Recovery images:

NOTE: Remember to keep "Fix recovery loop.zip"(by akahroba) in your phone.
Sometimes your phone continues to reboot into recovery (Mostly happens on Jellybean bootloader not Kitkat). Flashing this zip WILL fix the problem easily. Of course you can flash KDZ instead!

Will it work for F180L? I am currently on your sling rom.. and want to update to lollipop with cynaogen 12..
This is for locked bootloaders, right? Would it work with other lg devices?

But the bootloader is unlockable, so isn't this just a pita...

Although an unlocked bootloader is a better choice, Locked bootloader has it's own advantages for the ones who stay on stock based roms like myself...
Yest i did complete KDZ and on stock now with rooted & locked bootloader ....Is it possible for me to use bump now ?

Yep. Bump your desired recovery & rom( bump it's boot) with bump tool.
I've already uploaded bumped Philz touch.
You can flash the recovery with flashify app
Flash your rom
Nothing else you need to do

so it flashes a custom rom based on stock kernel? we still need to make our own builds before or use the avaiable ones, right?

That's only replacing an extracted & bumped boot file back in it's rom.zip which takes 30 secs (now your roms is signed-like G3 roms). This custom rom will bootup on both locked & unlocked bootloader.
Also no different it's stock based rom or cyanogen mod based.
The tool will only bump the boot. It does NOT change your boot.img

I've described everything clearly in the op.
Flash a bumped cwm or Philz touch & as long as you don't flash another unbumped Recovery, you don't need to be worry. No problem if you flash another recovery.zip in recovery If you've already bumped its recovery.img.

Confirmed working.
Using Sling Kahroba on locked BL.
Offline charging is working
Thanks for the tool!
Cheers,
Rae
Everytime we switch from one rom to another we have to bump the boot.img first before we flash through philz/cwm?
Once you bump the boot.img of a ROM (and added it on the ROM's zip), you can flash it on locked bootloaders. You don't have to bump it again if you want to re-flash it.
Just make sure that every ROM you will install on locked bootloaders is bumped. :good:
Cheers,
Rae
I'm currently on an unlocked boatloader with TWRP running ArtMOD V7 and solid kernel.. Can i "relock" the boatloader keeping the current configuration and start bumping ?

Do you really want me to provide my bootloader relocker from recovery?!
There you go! Don't flash bumped twrp. It will perform factory reset.
The zip itself does flash Philz & boot & everything
https://mega.nz/#!EBZ3iBRQ!i2ql-rQlR3vv_V4luTt-Me7xofrZaoWDbOsYxv98fJw
But consider the bootloader is from 20aOpenEU. It has been tested on 20A openeu many times. It MUST work on the other regions kdz... If anyone wanna use it, they must reply the result
Then I will provide my bootloader unlocker from recovery
Also do NOT copy
