[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] ShadowEO:
I just bought the LG AS730 which is a L7 variant released on both Altel and Revol Wireless. After reading the thread and finding out that I have to have a patched version of the ROM I downloaded the KDZ for my phone and extracted the bin from it. However attempting to use the extraction tools have proved fruitless as it says it can't find the header. I then opened it in a hex editor but I'm not sure what offset I'm looking for to extract the rootfs. I'd be more than happy to upload the BIN file from the LG KDZ in order to get help with this. Attempting to simply mount the BIN or use Ext2Read are also fruitless endeavors. It would seem that LG changed the format for this model.

What is there to compile a CWM if you can not locate inside .. ? It seems to me to be able to fastboot mode flash a recovery right?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] ShadowEO:
I put the AS730 firmware up on my web server at http://toxnet.no-ip.info:8181/AS73011a_01.bin. I'm having a little trouble patching it, mainly that I can't extract the system image from it using the LGExtract programs and I'm not sure what I'm looking for in terms of calculating the offsets. If someone could help me in this regard that would be awesome :)

For those with the LGP705G model, this rooting method works flawlessly. Ignore the flashing part as there is no V10i firmware version for our phone, just go to the next step.

Does anyone have any clue on how to sim-unlock this phone? Do these unlock code things work?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] emanuelparedes:
Hey guys, I've bought the P700 two days ago. I've the V10i version installed. What can I do now to improve the L7's performance, without losing the warranty? Thanks.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] machoman1337:
They do work in my experience, but not always. It's best to buy your unlock code from a service with a money-back guarantee (like www.cellunlocker.net). Then while entering your unlock code, make sure to have a video camera ready and capture your IMEI, unlock attempt counter, and the entering of the code itself. That way if the code fails, you have video proof to send to cellunlocker and they'll refund you.

I myself had an issue with a failed unlock code on a sony ericsson model, and I got my refund in less than 48 hours.

I bought an unlock code for the Optimus L7 model for my dad and it worked. Cellunlocker actually sent several codes (NCK, SPCK, etc), and only the NCK code worked. You have 10 attempts to enter a code on most phones btw.

P.S. it appears that the bootloader is still locked for the L7?

I have finally sold THE WORST PHONE I EVER HAD!!!!! this is the last time i bought a LG phone!!!!
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] ogremount:
You obviously haven't had many phones mate. For the price that is not a bad phone.

I have few other phones apart from the L7 that would indeed fight for worst phone title.

P.S. For me top priority in mobile device is the screen. And for 220 euros there aren't many phones with 4+ IPS screens and 1700 mAh batterie.

P.p.s. Before i buy something i go and test it and compare it. And take it as it is. Do not expect miraculous improvement over time.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] petrescu:
Wouldn't you buy LG Nexus 4? o.O
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] NormanD:
That'd not quite true - it is absolutely safe to flash ROM's for P700 model to P705 and backwards. Of course, in the first case you will get extra (and useless) menus about NFC functionality, and the opposite - the NFC menus will be missing on P700 if you flash a P705 ROM.

Anyways - the above had been extensively tested by the guys on 4PDA.ru and it is confirmed that P705 is stable and fully functional with V10i Europe Open ROM. What is more - it performs even better than with the native ROMs!
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] pkatsaras:
Hey guys if someone is member in frandroid, I think that there is a little matter with the share of the x-optimus ROM in our thread (I tried to understand using google translate).

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] Arjen:
Tomorrow I will try to contact the person who knows more about LG's secure boot method. Hope he can help us.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] ogremount:
Arjen would it be simular to the Optimus Black case of the locked bootloader ?

It is now overcome with the help of Ricardo.

Just a thought :)

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] ShadowEO:
I have a rooted system.img for the LG AS730 (Thanks Xonar for your updates to the LGBinExtractor to support the firmware) but I can't replace it to flash it because LG Mobile Phone Software Update doesn't seem to drop a system.img.ext4 while flashing. It only decompresses the bin. Is there a way I can flash the image to the phone or replace the system image in the BIN file? I'll upload the system image for any other AS730 users after I get off from work (or if someone has an idea of how I can replace it, after I test it.)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] machoman1337:
No, the Optimus Black (and other LG phones that originally came with Froyo/GB) had an unlocked bootloader if it was running a froyo/GB ROM. So if you were running stock ICS and wanted CM10, you'd just manually downgrade to stock froyo or GB and root and CWM and use that bootloader to run the custom ROM. That's been Ricardo Cerqueira's strategy all the way up to the P930 model, with the exception of the 4X HD where it already came with an unlocked BL (being a dev unit). Ricardo did state before that he doesn't get involved in actual hacking of the bootloader - either he gets an unlocked bootloader to begin with or he doesn't work on the device.

The Optimus L7 and many 2012 LG phones that originally ship with ICS have locked bootloaders from the start with no easily accessible alternative. Either you pray that LG gives an unlock solution (they did for the Optimus G), or you pray that the community is able to crack it. I'm sure that the community can do so but only if there's sufficient interest and effort - and I doubt the L7 is as popular as, say, the Kindle Fire HD (which a s**tload of hackers are attacking right now with some success).

My dad's on a 2 year contract with the L7, unfortunately, and he has some interest in getting a custom ROM because the performance can be sluggish at times. It's not a big enough deal for him to drop the cash on a new handset, though, since he's not an avid user (i.e. doesn't use many apps, doesn't do much besides call, text, check email). Still, an unlocked bootloader would make him happy. He actually tried to get the older Optimus 2X at my urging, but the Fido kiosks were all out of stock.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] androidwkim:
So... Is there a version for the P705G?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] NormanD:
This is plain ordinary P705, and the G in the name denotes only that it is marketed in Canada. So you can simply use V10i Open Europe for P700, as suggested about two pages back, and then remove the useless NFC menu from the App panel.

V3 of X-Optimus by forum.frandroid member SNX both odexed and deodexed in 1st post updated!!!

HOW TO FIX CRASH IN X-OPTIMUS V3 (ALL CREDITS FOR ROM AND FIX GOES TO SNX)

You'll just have to change a value in system/build.prop

Follow the tutorial exactly and do not change any other value

ES file explorer download here

1)Open, activate the root option by selecting the right boxes as the picture

http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=117987Screenshot20121128223901.png

2)Then press the button at the top left and then look for folder system and open it

http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=499144Screenshot20121128223924.png

3)Then click on look build.prop

http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=382047Screenshot20121128225937.png

4)Then select Note Editor

http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=875228Screenshot20121128223953.png

5)You must be very careful in order to select the correct line. You must change the line "debug.enabletr=true" in debug.enabletr=false

http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=510735Screenshot20121128224025.png

6)The change should look like this

http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=746272Screenshot20121128224041.png

Save changes in build.prop after you're done and reboot phone...As always I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE...If you are not sure how to do it then DON'T FLASH THE ROM AND DON'T DO THE FIX!!!

Anyone experiencing weird wifi connection with L7? My friend's kept on disconnecting from every wifi if it's under heavy download (such as downloading a 20 ish mb apps).

Hopefully it's not a hardware issue..... Any help will be appreciated, thanks :)

i have mounted system, sh exists. are you familiar with 2nd init/bootmenu scripts? maye you can take a look at them and you can find a problem.

I also have another problem that the phone restarts itself after booting when script is on (probably bad init.rc, not a priority problem... first recovery then bugs :) ). Primarly motorola phones use 2ndinit (i'm using xt535 scripts as base), also optimus 4x recovery is based on 2ndinit so it should be possible to make it work on ours. Maybe later when i'm not at work we can join forces, hehe, on irc and do something about this.
