Yes you can! That's how I flashed the boot.img when I bricked my phone the first time... It's a pain in the a** though... The phone's design doesn't help...

Shut it down and press either vol down+home+plug the cable on the USB or vol down+home+power+plug the cable (I don't remember if I pushed the power button)...

What it has it's a security mode which doesn't allow us yet to edit the recovery img... So be carefull on what you're going to do to your device...
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] Okizhaa:
A hard brick? Or just a normal brick?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] -XoRoX-:
that's right, we can enter the fast boot by press that key, without power :good:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] mariolcneto:
Soft... It was when I tried to push the recovery.img someone posted a few posts back with the CWM... It wouldn't even show the LG logo... Didn't get past the damn security from LG...

By the way, it was how I also pushed this recovery...

Hi guys.

I have a S2 but a friend mine has LG P705f (Brazilian version i guess)

There are any hardware difference between P700 and P705?

If not, what's the best rom yet to flash to him?

BTW OP does the stock recovery works i mean is it able to flash anything ?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] pkatsaras:
The thing is that the OP of the thread took some donations and never hear from him again...This is an issue though, if a moderator see this, we need someone else to manage the thread...As for the stock recovery, no we can't flash anything from it...

I've found this in LG Open Source http://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensource-detail.jsp

This is the first version of our firmware but some said it was more open than the others...Is there any chance to overide the bootloader? Cause many of us asked for unlocked and noone helped from their side...Even the modaco site guy tried to help through an LG source that he had inside LG but like the OP of the thread, we never had news from him again.

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

1 remove accu and sim and sd card

2 keep VOLUME(+and-) and HOME buttons pressed then plug Power/microUSB cable - connectd to the computer on the other side obviously, kinda ballet but possible.

I just tried above and saw green android phantom-not just sure if its fastboot or other mode, hope it helps.

EDIT: "9. On your Nexus 4, you are asked whether to unlock bootloader. Hit Volume Up button to choose Yes and then Power button to confirm."

Did anyone have an indication like this on device's screen? Mine it didn't! Anyone tried to hit the vol up in that stage even if there was no indication? I didn't think about that, a new guy who can't write on thread yet pmed me and proposed that...

EDIT 2: Found this with shabbypenguin's help -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1826378 Anyone tried or have any idea if this could help us? With this you can boot in CWM Recovery not by using a boot.img but a raw ramdisk copy of it.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] kD:
Yeah i will try for Boot Strap Menthod Could some one provide me your boot.img :) and could some one try this tool for flashing stock rom : http://www.mediafire.com/?uuwwj2qen3bmml9 It is Called ADT Works on many Locked bootloaders ! have a try on L7

OK guys...At the above link there are a lot of tweaks for build.prop and for init.d...I use the build.prop tweaks and the phone is a little bit more speed up...You can try what you want and what suites your phone (at your own risk as always). Just a little advice...Use either the build.prop or the init.d tweaks, not both together cause they collapse...

The google translate is pretty acurate, but i am having a hard time understanding what he realy meant. I think that a native french could translate better. My translation and google's are basicly the same...

Greetings to all,

I want to present you the tutorial for installing the Xoptimus custom rom. Before starting to install, read the entire tutorial to understand what you have to do.

This rom has root and some mods.\

Do not delete anything before/while installing.

Requirements:

-USB drivers installed;

-THE ROM:http://d-h.st/ymf

-KDZ_FW_UPD_EN:http://www.android-h...w_upd_en-1-.zip

-The official V10I firmware

-7zip to decompress the archive

Pre-instaling

Now we will prepare the necesary files. Decompress the downloaded custom rom with 7zip. A file called "system.img.ext4" will appear. Now search for LG Mobile folder. Now copy the extracted files there?!.

Extract KDZ_FW_UPD_EN and run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe. Select 3GQCT and EMERGENCY and use the oficial version of V10I (not the modified one). Now do NOTHING. Do not click on Launch Software Update. Let the windows open and now we are going to install.

Installing

Connect the phone to your PC and start flashing until that file has system.img.ext4 appears and reaches 400 mo of that it will reaches 400 mo. Now you will have to replace system.img.ext4 by drag-dropping it to your phone, it may have errors, but this is normal. Now you have it. I do not have the time to present it, if comeone could do it i will be thankfull.

I did not unrestand the drag-drop part... I will try it tomoroow, i got day-off :P
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] Abhinandh Ajay:
Here's the info about the ROM X-Optimus

THERE IS NO GTALK APP IN THIS ROM!!!

I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT I DIDNT GET A KEYBOARD IN THIS ROM FOR SOME REASON, SO I MANUALLY INSTALLED THE ANDROID 4.2 KEYBOARD.

The ROM is quiet fast and smooth!! But I would advise you to do a full wipe after flashing!!

Here are the stock apps other than the apps on stock ROM:

Adaway

Alarms

Clock

Directory Bind

DSPManager

Gallery (ICS Style)

Google Now (Yaaayyyyy!!!!)

Face Unlock

Messaging (Awesome!!)

Movies

Opera Mobile

Homescreen (Launcher ICS Style)

SuperSU

Tone Picker

Walkman (Music Player with awesome UI)

WiFi FTP

Angie (Voice assistant)

Theres also a different font!!

EDIT : there is a keyboard but its only the gingerbread keyboard
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] DarkNeno:
Can you post some pictures?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] giulpip:
COOL!! im going to try it as soon as i can. Anyway, on that forum there is a video of this rom running on our device

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=oXRfSd83Ovc[/YOUTUBE]

hope this will be the first step on a looooong series!! :fingers-crossed:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] giulpip:
Abhinandh Ajay, all of us are waiting for a review on some daily action on this rom :)

maybe you can write something about pro and cons that you found, and if there is something that doesnt work, cause i dont get this thing: is this a rom from the original v10i from LG? in this case i think that everything runs good without problems, but ill be sure before flashing it. I think we see you like an experimenter..:good:

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

Might be late, and if this custom rom will works properly, it comes with full root access as default, so no more procedure is needed. Anyway, when i was going to root my device, ive founded a script made by Bin4ry, i dont remember if i found it here or somewhere else. anyway, i launched this script on my v10i device, but it doesnt work at first.

So i modified the script, ive changed only a few condition that cause problem, due to formatting error, i think. And this is it.

http://www.filedropper.com/rootwithrestorebybin4ryv142editedbygiulpip

ALL RIGHTS TO Bin4ry FOR THIS SCRIPT, IVE ONLY CORRECTED SOMETHING AS I WROTE. :o
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] Abhinandh Ajay:
Firstly this is just the v10i fw with the modified system.img.ext4 file.

I removed some system apps that I dont use:

Gmail (Use the native email app instead)

Maps (Use sygic instead)

All the NFC related apps (My phone does not support NFC :( )

Angie (Didn't like it much :p )

I installed Nova launcher cuz I prefer it to the native ICS launcher :good:

I also use SetCPU to clock the phone to 1008MHz max and min with the performance governer :p

Pros so far compared to Stock v10i rooted with deodexed ROM with same comditions as I just mentioned:

1).Some Increase in speed (I can play Temple run and NFS Most wanted with very little lag)

2).Messaging app just awesome and also has emoji!!

3).The new font is nice.

4).Face Unlock for those who dont need much security and just want a cool way to unlock the phone :p

5).Directory Bind is really useful (I can keep the 1GB folder of Most wanted in my external SD card and bind it to the place where it is suppost to be to save a lot of space for more apps :D

6).Google Now (What more do I have to say)

7).Tone Picker (An easy and quick way to change volume for ringer, music, call, system sounds, alarm all in one place)

Cons:

1).Hate the Gingerbread keyboard (Installed the Jelly Bean 4.2 keyboard instead :D )

2).Visualizer in the walkman app FCs

I'll post more pros and cons after using the ROM some more!!
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] Abhinandh Ajay:
Soft Bricked my phone :( after installing PIMP my ROM.

I installed PIMP my ROM and made some changes but when I rebooted the phone, it goes into an endless bootloop.

Fix:

Reflash X-Optimus ROM or just stock v10i fw and hard reset the phone.

Lost all my data :(

Pimp my ROM works fine in stock v10i fw.
