Hey, I've just bought what I believe to be a korean LG optimus g pro, in software information, it says it is running on android 4.1.2 and the software version is LG-F240-EUR, and in phone identity it says the model number is LG-F240. In LG PC Suite it says it is the latest version and I can't update to kit kat. I also can't find any updates or stock android / cm11 4.1.2 roms for this phone, and when I do, it says it is for either F240K, F240L, or F240S, but none for just F240. I don't care much about updating to kit kat, but I would love to get a stock or smooth / lightweight + cm11 rom for this phone, anyone know where I can find one? Thanks in advance!
Forgot to say, I'm also already rooted and running CWM, so that's fine.

As you may already know, the E980 is what most people compile for. There is CM11 for the E980. Also, there are no CM11 4.1.2 ROMs as CM11 ROMs are all 4.4.+ ROMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786566
You'll want to look at this when you flash a CM11 ROM to your F240.
I think you should check your imei, just to be sure your phone is F240 or not

^There, I took a screenshot of the settings (I can't post outside links so you will have to copy paste and remove space)
I'll post them here as well in text form:
Android version
4.1.2
Baseband version
APQ8064T/MDM9x15M
Kernel version
3.4.0
Build number
JZ054K-xmx
Software version
LG-F240-EUR
Any idea which variant of the F240 this is, and where I could get a CM10 or CM11 rom for it? I'm not bothered by being on an old android version, if it's CM for an older version then I'm happy with that as well.

I don't do walkthroughs for devices I don't own. Also if you don't know if it's f240 S/K/L then you might have some issues my friend.
The model # of your device should be printed on the back of the device when the battery cover is removed, both on the chassis itself and underneath the battery on the barcode+imei label.

Hmmm, let me get back to you. Are you using Windows? If so I could toss together a .BATch file to gank the necessary logs to identify your devices specific model and needs. I'm very familiar with the E980 needs, and pretty well familiar with the F240s/k needs, but I've not encountered a F240-EUR yet. I wonder which specific variant it is?
If you're familiar enough with Linux or command line ADB Android stuff, I could just shoot you some instructions on what to do. Need to research a little first; might be a few days, as I am without internet access, stuck bumming it where I can (pardon me, I'm a gutterdwelling dirtfarmer).

So is there a stock TOT you can flash with LG Flash Tools that works fine? If so, you could backup all your stuff then flash back to stock with LG Flash Tools. When the dialog pops up asking you which TOT & DLL to use make sure to tick the 'Enable XML Log' at the bottom of the dialog and choose somewhere to save the logs to.
After you're done with LG Flash Tool, it will generate three files:
- DiagCommand.xml
- setting.xml
- LOG\<model number>_COM41.log
The last one, the *_COM41.log is the most desirable, but all three would be useful.
What does a site like this tell you about the IMEI? Does the IMEI reported in the Settings->About->Status screen match the one listed on the label underneath the battery?
>as many said after updating the lg f240-eur the updaate was successful but the ssignal was lost forever
Which update is that? An OTA update? Kitkat? Lollipop?
Have you tried the F240L firmware for it? Have you had any success with *any* stock image?
At least that COM41.log will specify the stock firmware and model for the device -- as long as the right DLL is used maybe, as incorrect DLL can cause issues (for me, using F240 Lollipop DLL on an E980 I had modem issues (and probably more)). That can also be obtained from a parameter cat'able via ADB shell, but I cannot remember it offhand (not sure if the partition it's on is loaded by default?) -- can get back to you with that specific in a couple/few days if you choose not/cannot flash a stock TOT.
As always before you go mucking about, if there's any files you value on your device make sure to vacate them via backup.

hi...i checked it in the imei website(but not the one which u provided in the link) and it is shown as LG F240S.I will backup everything that i need.But what are the 3 files u mentioned?and what does com41 file for? if i flashed any rom or stock lollipop kdz for my f240s,then will i get issues with my phn network signals? actually before this g pro,i had both g2 and lg g pro f240l(both phns i gave to my cousins).i updated f240l to official lollipop and everything worked perfectly.but the case here is different.its lg f240-eur.im scared of doing experiments on this phn.moreover,the touch on the phn is sometimes unresponsive.need to double tap or need to lock phn sometimes inorder for the touch to work.so the touch prblm is due to the rom in this phn or the digitizer prblm???

Apparently they have official Lollipop for the F240S, so it seems like you should be fine with that. Just make sure the IMEI under the battery and the IMEI being reported in the About menu in the phone match, and it seems like you can't go wrong.
Touch problems, rom or digitizer? If the touch problems persist with stock Kitkat *and* stock Lollipop -- or with any other roms, then it's likely the phone. Digitizers are inexpensive and easy to install though, so if it is that you should have little problem replacing it. Check out Ifixit.com for their walkthrough on that for the E980. Simple stuff! Requires at most a precision screwdriver and maybe a hair dryer/heat gun (probably?).
> ut what are the 3 files u mentioned?and what does com41 file for?
That's unnecessary now that you've found the correct model number for your phone.

Hello
Happy owner of a LG G3, i previously had a LG G2 (and i was very happy with it too).
Something i'd like so much on the LG G2 was LG On-Screen Phone (LG OSP). When i got my LG G3, i was sad because OSP was not here anymore. But i found on Internet (on XDA ) a way to install LG On Screen Phone on the LG G3. It worked perfectly!
But I recently updated my LG G3 to Android 5.0, Android Lollipop.
And now, i tried to download LG OSP for my LG G3 (with the same link as before) and when I open it on the LG G3, the app is closing instantly with an error message (OSP has stopped working). I tried many times, without success. Then the smartphone ask me if i want to update LG OSP to a newer version, I accepted to see if it will work best this way.. and.. No.
So i don't know what to do.
Do you know a way to keep using LG On-Screen Phone with a LG G3 with Android 5.0 Lollipop ?
Thank you
LG G3 is the first smartphone who gets lollipop update, and developers are working hard to provide apps and mods for our G3.
I think some patient will be really appreciated!! And I'm sure there will be tons of apps and mods coming for G3 with lollipop update!! We just need to set back and wait for the awesome magicians of android. ??
Yes I know that, but maybe there isn't much to change to make LG OSP working with the LG G3 with Android 5.0 Lollipop.
If somebody now a way, a tips to make LG On-Screen-Phone working with LG G3 under Lollipop it will be great!
Thank you very much in advance
I think LG OSP doesn't work on lollipop since it runs based on Dalvik instead of ART. Lollipop uses ART.
Hello,
Thank you for your answer. Yes I know about this change.
And do you think it will be very problematic? I mean, this change (Davlik / ART) will ruin the compatibility between LG G3 and LG On-Screen Phone (LG OSP), or even with this change we can hope LG OSP will be "adapted" and will be able to work with LG G3 on Lollipop ?
Thank you

Cheers for the info installed airdroid and works great
Mobizen works too
For anybody else with this same issue the mobizen app works like the OSP did as well complete with screen mirrioring and usb or wifi connection options.
Hi,
Since I opened this thread, things changed.
Now, we can go on Lolipop on the G3 and root it easily (one root click solution).
Does anyone or any news about this thread? Is the LG On Screen app now compatible with LG G3 on Lolipop ?
Thanks
Up!
I saw Mobizen, that's great and working well (with the advantage to have both solutions : an "offline version" with the software which has to be installed on the computer, as On-Screen phone app does, but it has also an "online" version to use Mobizen (and the LG G3 with a computer) with any computer, it's not required to install anything (everything through internet).
So thank you.
But just because i'm curious and I like the On Screen Phone app, is someone knows more?
Lolipop has now been released since a while, we are even talking about Android M now... Will the On-Screen Phone app be compatible with Lollipop?
Thanks

You can't flash LG camera. It requires special libs which aren't found on CM. For camera I recommend you ported HTC M9 Camera. It's pretty good.
https://plus.google.com/+JishnuSur16061993/posts/PKBzsgfqxfV
As for quick remote flash this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/app-quickremote-port-aosp-t2929146
Idk about keyboard.
So first of all, i've been reading threads on XDA for the pas few years whenever i need to look something up that has to do with android or so but never actually posted myself. I'm making this thread because i couldn't find the answer i want. Excuse me if I don't do this following the guidelines right or anything.
So i want to root my LG G3 because i've rooted my previous phones (Galaxy S and Nexus 4) as well and i liked the roms i was flashing. I didn't really care about missing touchwiz' features when flashing a new rom and Nexus is already running stock so I wasn't worried about that either.
The question is for me now: What LG features will I miss when flashing another rom (E.g. CM12, ParanoidAndroid...) So in terms of the features that LG has put in their skin itself. Also what other remarkable changes will happen? Performance changes? And will I be able to use my camera the original way?
I hope any of you can help me out with this question and enlighten me a bit more.
Thanks in advance!
I can sum up a bit of lost features:
- The beautiful LG UI
- LG stock apps ( can be ported tho )
- Knock code
- Navigation button hide per-app settings

Will the camera work as usual if you'd download the camera apk? For example laser focus and the same quality as it normally should be? Because I don't like the google camera app.
And also, would you recommend flashing a different rom?

I'm the same addicted as you to the lovely LG G3 rom but i wanted more geeky feeling so i flashed CloudyG3 which is an improved stock rom which is still using the G3 firmware but alot faster and more options available.
I can only recommend you to use that rom since others were not that good imo.
Also i don't know about the camera thing but i assume it's the same on CloudyG3 rom.

Yes i would recommend KingoRoot for PC but you have to uncheck all the software they suggest you to install along the root process, i did not had any problems with Kingo Root but i've heard people complaining about it.
One click root applications like Towelroot, Framaroot and Stumproot does not work anymore on Lollipop stock roms since they were patched by LG.
I usually prefer to use oneclick root apps to avoid using my PC for little tasks + it's alot faster and easier.
So i suggest you to root it with Kingo Root using a PC.
And regular Xposed does not work yet on Lollipop but the Xposed Alpha version ( which you can find on XDA search ) does work perfectly.

I don't know how to port, but here it is which I have tried and failed without bricking my device and didn't work :silly:. I download D855 cm-12.1 nightly replace boot.img with boot.img in KDZ of my device, modified some build.prop, and failed at flash.
I also did start reading Cyanogen Mod guide and its goes way over my head. However I do think that porting for an expert would only take marginal effort then new bio like me. I hate stock but I can't get around it.
So I endup flashing stock back with LG Mobile Support 2014, it works after lot of tries with different scenarios, root the device again, installed/flash TWRP with Autorec lollipop.apk for D856, flash Xposed for lollipop, Installed Xposed Installer, G3 Tweaksbox, G3 Tweaksbox Theme for Lollipop, GravityBox and other things... for now its lot better then what stock was offering, big thanks to XDA.
However I love to see CM-12.1 for LG G3 D856, since I loved CyanogenMod on OnePlus One and missing it badly (I had to swap out with my brother because it was offering lot better battery life (good for him) and I need little good camera ... win-win).
