Hey guys,

I just bought a L7 and am pretty happy with the device... I have a P705 from Claro Brazil...

I tried every steps on this post and couldn't root it... Whenever I flashed the V10H or other version from P700, it just bricked my phone... I had to reset the firmware from Claro three times doing the procedures... THe only good thing is that I found a firmware from unbranded devices in Brazil, and it removed some of the bloatware that came from the Claro device... That was already great, but I still missed having the device rooted to strip it clean!

Anyway, last night I saw a tweet from XDA official account saying that bin4ry, a developer from the SONY devices created a script that could root almost every phone on ICS and JB... Since I owned two SONY devices before the LG, I knew his work and skills, so I decided to give it a try... Guess what... IT WORKS like a charm!!!

Here's the link to it for anyone who's having problems rooting the device (I imagine other folks from Brazil are having the problem as well)... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

Maybe you guys can also improve it and add lines specific to our phone... If not, at least people can root it directly without having to flash a new firmware...

:)

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] frolex67:
And how? It turns out?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] petrescu:
It does not work :(.... Have a look
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] frolex67:
It is clear :(
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] mariolcneto:
Have you clicked restore on your device when the first msg appears on the script? PS: It asks for a password, but if you click restore it will work even without typing it...

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

It is the same link I posted...

When you open the script (By the way, turn USB Debugging on, OK!) it will show the following message" Please look at your device and click RESTORE!"... Open your device, click restore end then just wait (Like I said, again, it will ask on the device for the password or PIN of your device... Ignore it and click RESTORE)... When it finishes booting it will have Superuser on it... Just check with any app the requires root access, allow it and there you go... It's rooted...

Shouldn't be a problem, it worked like a charm on mine...

On the main post from XDA said that it uses an ADB restore timing issue on the Android system to make the root work on most devices... Probably you took a little too long to press the RESTORE button on the device and the timing window closed... Try doing the steps above quickly...

Also, LG L3 have official CyanogenMod support, we have 116 pages of posts in this thread and not a single person who can develop and port stuff ?

I was speaking in general about our phone...Oh and BGD, yeah man! Nice trick! Where are our money that they were supposed to go in unlocking the bootloader? Yeah man, good job!

EDIT: BGD, unless you'll provide us something new that is actually WORKING in our phone, maybe you would start considering giving my donation back in order to give it in someone that deserves it...
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] mariolcneto:
That's really weird... It worked perfectly on my phone... I even stripped it clean from the bloatware, and it is really snappy now... I'm not a developer, so I can't really go much further to understand what's going on and why it isn't working... Just like the script from this post didn't work on my device...

Does anyone know if there are many kernel and bootloader differences from P700 to P705?

I couldn't agree more... It's a pretty good phone, the specs aren't top, but it is still better than many devices out there... Don't we have developers who own this phone... I'm even considering getting a Brazilian developer to teach me the basics so that I can start developing for it... LOL...
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] Thatgrass:
I can port and develop, but I don't have the device myself, so that's not easy.... but I could give some stuff a go. ;)

But thanks

I will start with recovery, with a proper recovery almost everything is possible ;)

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] Thatgrass:

Once a proper custom recovery is available I will start porting CM9 or 10. I am keeping an eye on this thread for a couple of weeks now. I will try to ask support in the private developer chat for a device forum.

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] paulreminder:
@BGDonLINE Thanks for your kind help. :p It turns out that I need at least 4 other system files from your lovely L7 which are core.jar, ext.jar, android.policy.jar, services.jar.

I didn't mean to be greedy but may ask you to upload the whole /system/framework archive in cases missing files?

BTW, I happen to notice that there isn't weatherwidget.odex file in the app.zip you previously shared. Could you please take a look at your /system/app/? Since I believe it should contains weatherwidget.odex file in it.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] BGDonLINE:
There is no odex file for widget apk and it was in diff place because that is option apk it can be installed/uninstalled at any time and it location is /system/apps/bootup

Ill upload full rom and system.img soon and you can take it from there...
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] paulreminder:
Thanks for the quick heads up. Yes it seems less difficult than I thought. It turns out L7 weather Widget is compatible with Android 2.3 lge classes which I extracted from Optimus Black P970 framework.jar and then added into my current HTC ROM framework.jar. So I just pushed L7 weather widget into system/app and reboot the phone, it started working! No more deodex needed.

Will upload screenshot later. Thanks again for sharing mate!

GUIDE: HOW TO FLASH STOCK FIRMWARE via KDZ

(In case of bootloops or soft bricks when you want to try something at your device or to update in the latest version of your country manually)

1) Download the latest firmware of your country from here -> LG OPTIMUS L7 FIRMWARES

2) Download this folder -> KDZ and unzip it

3) Download the latest drivers for the device from LG site (Windows USB Drivers) -> www.lg.com

4) Enable USB Debugging mode at your device from System Settings->Programmer Options (or sth like this)->tick USB Debugging Mode

5) Go System Settings -> Connectivity -> PC Software

6) Open the folder you unzipped the KDZ and run the file KDZ_FWD_UPD.exe

7) Close the device and put it in Emergency Mode (Push Volume Up+Power at the same time until the device vibrates and then release them)

8) Plug the device in the PC via USB

9) Go to the KDZ screen at your PC and choose Type: 3GQCT and Phone Mode: EMERGENCY

10) At KDZ file above, choose the file .kdz you've downloaded in step 1.

11) Click Launch software update and the flashing begins.

That's it! After this, the device should close and open. If after the shutdown of the device, the screen is black, open it youself. When the LG bootanimation stops, it should appear a white screen "Android Update". As always, I am not responsible for anything happens to your device, and of course BACKUP ANYTHING IMPORTANT FROM YOUR DEVICE!

ALL VERSIONS ROOTING GUIDE (THE HARD WAY)

All credits go to skuskom for finding the way

I will try to gather in one post all the info about how to root all versions of LG Optimus Firmwares according to skuskom.

Also, there is a way to avoid the editing of the system.img.ex4. The way is someone else to root it and you have only to flash it.

So, what simply you have to do is to take the rooted system.img.ex4, go to step 9. of skuskom's guide and replace the file during flashing. It's very tricky way, be sure you have read again and again all instructions carefully before attempt rooting. As always YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! NOONE IS RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AND ALWAYS KEEP BACKUP OF WHAT YOU NEED.

Hope I've helped. Nothing of the above is mine. Credits to all the guys that helped so that I could find and gother in one post all these info...

Hello.

This my first post in this thread.

Root works for me only when I replace original system.img.ext4 from kdz file with modified while flashing phone.

For those who want some modifications and some more smoothness in our phone You can force hardware rendering.

I'm not responsible if Your phone explodes or sth.

You can achieve this by removing first line from /system/lib/egl/egl.cfg and renaming (for backup) or removing libGLES_android.so from this directory. The modified egl.cfg should be like this:

0 1 adreno200

And reboot phone.

Some more modifications:

And reboot phone.

Original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877183

This modification works for my LG Optimus L7.

With stock kernel I'm missing init.d support for more modifications, but we must wait because of blocked bootloader.

P.S.

Have someone original initramfs from this phone or who known where I can get it?

P.S.2

What bloatware can be removed from system partition?

Because the patience has its limits, if any moderator see this, BGD probably is a common liar. He took some money from donates, he was supposed to be a developer but so far he developed nothing.

I will apologise if BGD (whose traces are missing about a month when he released a non working rooting method for v10i) appears and give us a very convincing explanation about all these...I know that devs develop in their free time, but if you are a developer who start your own thread for a device, promissing things and getting donates for them but at the end you provided NOTHING, then I think it's logical the others have demands from you. Also, if nothing happen and BGD stop spending his time at the thread, then man, BGD, I want my donation back...Enough is enough.
