I've read all the forum but if I am not wrong, there is nothing about this phone (e986) to pass LG security and to install a custom recovery (twrp is preferable) that really work and so there is no custom ROM which one runs stabile on that phone. I saw there are some other variants and all of them have different ways to install recovery or have different ROMs. If a ROM support one variant, then it does not support other variants.
I really appreciate if someone has a guide to install recovery (especially twrp), to pass LG security and link to a custom ROM that enough stabil to daily usage (like CM or LineageOS).
Note: I am on rooted stock Android 4.42
Everything you've read for E980, E988 etc. is actually about same phone. E980 = E981 = E985 = E986 = E988 = E989 - all same hardware, but different modem firmware due to regional differences with supported network frequencies, and some models are with 32GB storage, some with 16GB.
F240 devices are different, but not too different.

IS it possible to flash roms like the new official cm10.1 which is made for the e975, but instead onto my canadian e971? the only difference between the two phones is the frequency used for lte, so it shouldnt be a problem right? im bored of the few canadian roms available for this phone on xda, and im looking to flash some of the e975 roms,

The E975 has a 13 MP camera, so your rear camera won't work on an E971 if you flash a ROM for the E975. OTOH, you can use ROMs from the E970 (AT&T LGOG) and the only thing you are likely to lose would be your green notification LED. I'm running dvhexer's alternate CM 10.1 build for the E970 as my daily driver. He even included E971/E973 LED support in the 7/13 build.
See here: [ROM][7/23/13] CM 10.1 unofficial for E970 with 4.1.2 RPM/TZ or N4 conversion
I just bought a G Pad and I have rooted it and installed TWRP. I want to install a custom rom but I am not sure which ones are compatible with my device. My software version is v50010a. I see lots of roms for v50020a or v50020b. Are these roms compatible with my device? Sorry for the noob question.

After you install a custom recovery, you can flashing any custom rom, provided it is compatible with the device model (V500 or V510).)

The device model number is v500, and the software version is 10a, that having 4.2.2 stock, and the v20a, is a updated version, packs 4.4.2 kit kat, so the v20b, is a update to it, that fixes the R/W to the external sd card, so it all stock lg software...

The difference between 20a and 20b stock is just region b in North America and GB, a everywhere else. 20b has the same external SD card issues as 20a ... you need to use the built in File Manager app to get around the issue.
External Sd card issue
The issue of the sd card, is due to the new rules and restrictions that google has introduced in the kitkat.
I have an offer through Kijiji to buy the Rogers LG G3 (D852). I am currently an owner of a Nexus 5. A lot of things about the G3 are very tempting for me especially in regards to camera and screen size with small bezels. However I also like trying out what third party development has to offer. After going through these forums most of what I see is simply for D855 and D850. So, a couple of questions:
1. Rooting and "unlocking" bootloader: Is Purpledrake compatible with the d852 and can the d852 be "bumped" to have TWRP?
2. Lollipop: I'm aware that LG G3 now has Lollipop but are any builds compatible with the d852?
3. "Stock Android": By this I mean "not LG's skin", is there any way to get stock android or anything similar (CM12/PA/etc.) onto the the LG G3? I plan to use LG's firmware for the most part but the option to load an AOSP rom would be nice.
4. Backwards compatibility with AT&T model: Would ROMs that are available for the D850 work with the D852 since both are similar hardware?
5. Debloating: After rooting, can the phone be debloated to increase performance? I'm assuming LG has added a fair share of bloated software onto the stock ROM.
I really want to own this phone (the Nexus 5 just has HORRENDOUS battery life and camera for me) but the only thing pushing me away is the lack of development, if these questions can be answered and I can at least be provided with some hope for the future I will definitely consider buying the G3, thank you for any help in advance!
1. You can root it with Stump root
2. At the moment no.
3. There is CM12 but for D855. Carbon and Mahdi are also for D855. For D852 there is no AOSP rom.
4. No, it is not compatible.
5. Of course it can.
My D852 is rooted with Purpledrake and also BUMPED with TWRP recovery.
In the General section, read the Canadian Users thread and there are some converted D855 ROMS for D852.
ROMS are slowly but surely gaining traction. [I think there's a bit of a pause now as devs have moved from KK roms and now working on Lollipop ROMS]
Hi,
I own an LG Optimus G Pro F240 L (Korean)

Android 4.4.2
Kernel Version : 3.4.0
Baseband Version : M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1628
Build Number : KOT49I.F240L20f
I'm a noob i don't want to mess things up and so far i have rooted my phone with Lgviet method and installed cwm-based recovery v6.0.4.4 compiled by xiaolu
I'm looking for a stable rom which i can easily flash and will give full functionality of my phone. I would prefer if there is any with G3 like look if not then any good rom will do fine.
I want to get rid of Korean apps and 80 char Limit SMS and korean dialpad
So please can anyone help me find a good rom that i will be able to install on my phone f240L 20F with not much complications involved?
Please suggest me good rom with full functionality, One more question, can i install any Rom or do i need some specific rom to match my phone version?
Please guide me and tell me steps wise so i can do it easily. I have no idea about Kernel or Baseband stuff. Just a noob.
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys, I've been looking for something to upgrade to from my old e970, and I've had nothing but great experiences with LG phones. I have a question regarding the different model's of this phone, and potential development limitations. I would be getting the D851 (Tmo variant) and wondering if there are compatibility issues among the roms? For example, in original development, official CM13 is listed for d855, does that mean there's no way I wouldn't be able to use it on a D851? I understand for my e970 if I use an international variant rom I'd lose camera and sd card support.
Thanks!
You can only use D851 roms in that instance. That is the reason why D851, D852, D855 etc. have separate forum categories for rom developments.
Flashing rom that is intended for other model than your phone causes it to brick or boot loop (I'm not sure what of those two since I've never done that)

Thanks! I found the seperate forum for the D851 and CM13 does have an official version. This should make building other roms much simpler. Thank you again!
