Greetings,

You should download to original V10c.

I try to root V10d FW without success.

Then I downgrade to V10c, rooted without problem.

Because BGD was initially rooted using V10a then I downgrade to V10a which is current one
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] BGDonLINE:
I tryed few signing tools but without success i think it need to be signed with right key, i already sent mail to lg support asking them about that one...

Can you write which v10c you flashed and rooted so i can put info in first posts in index
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] edwartwidianta:
It is the stock FW for Indonesia. It is available in the LG official firmware list.

But sorry I forget to rename it when I download Europe open version.

Hi parageria,

Which method did you use to extract system .img, boot .img & recovery .img..coz I tried to use the adb method and fails..Did you use your device via terminal method...just want to know coz I want to have a recovery backup for my device..thanks
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] BGDonLINE:
Hello mate to extract kdz firmware you need few tools first kdz extractor located here and than dz file extractor located here :) gl & hf

Alternative way is to use android terminal emulator and dd command

su

You can do it only with root access

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/booty.img
Backup boot.img to sdcard

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/system.img
Backup system.img to sdcard

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
Backup recovery.img to sdcard
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] jimhon:

Any news at the unlocked bootloader?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] parageria:
Hi

i thing you must have the rom.dz file from KDZ

Use DZExtract 0r DZdecryptor

But there is a problem if use DZExtract or DZDecrypt 0.5 you will take all images and the system in five (5) files

like, system.img.ext4-0...4-1...,if use DZDecrypt 1.0c you will take one (1) system.img.ext file but no boot.img..I used both for to have

boot.img

recovery.img

system.img.ext.

Now change to Linux Ubuntu

use unpack.bootimg.pl for boot.img, and recovery.img (to extract files)

cd /mnt

mkdir system

cd /directory/system.img.ext

mount system.img.ext /mnt/system

And done

My ENG is.....:crying:

EDIT after edit files can use mkbootimg for to have the new images (for DZExtract DZdecrypt bootimg use google - sorry i dont remember sites)

NOW MY PROBLEM IS HOW MAKE AGAIN ..ROM.DZ

Hello guys,i m a developer for Htc Explorer(we share the same chipset) and we are trying to port Cyanogen Mod(7/9/10) to our phone(from source obviously)

is there any developer here who's trying to do the same?

Also do u have overclock yet?i tried overclocking,but gave mixed results :(

Peace :)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] bonny123:
@bgdonline

When we have the custom rom installed, will it be overclockable? Coz i think we need to overclock this phone to speed it up a bit.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] aceea:
connect to ubuntu

i have question...

how to connect LG L7, to linux ubuntu?

i've try, but nothing happen

thx
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] BGDonLINE:
I was messing with rom porting, oc is ready, we are just waiting boot unlock so we can use custom recovery...

Oc will be in custom kernel

You can install android sdk and use adb shell or try to install lg suite with wine, better solution is virtual box with xp or win 7

Btw bf bad company 2 is working great xD
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] sakindia123:
Could you share your overclock code?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] BGDonLINE:
Soon yes when i test it on this model...
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] parageria:
Hi BGD

Can you tell me please its correct to:

1) downgrade my phone from v10g to v10a and make it root (like your posts)

2) Put your LG revolution.zip or mine v10g_gs.zip in root external sdcard

3) With adb shell make, like your 3 post, command

4) reboot to recovery mode and install update zip?

Thanks
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] BGDonLINE:
Yeah it sound's easy when you put it that way :p count in that recovery can`t mount sdcard and even if it does it have signature verification problems...
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] parageria:
Ok my friend

I hope in the future ..:)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] elzafir:

C'mon guys!!! It is not that difficult to read some posts back!!!! Don't spam the thread!!! A guy ask this two posts above you!!!! Only two!!! NO! We can't install custom Rom till now...Just read the first post to see the progress of the thread and read at least one or two pages back...If you do so, you don't need to ask same things again and again...So simple!!!:laugh: (No hard feelings and I am not tell this only to you noobkid!

Evo rom can be installed soon when lg guys provide way to unlock bootloader and we have working custom recovery... again allready it was mentioned few pages back... :)

i have v10c (rogers canada) but the root does not work ive tried like 25times please help me
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] jimhon:
You have to flash your device to v10a firmware to be able to root your device properly..(personally i don't think v10c is rootable if ever its unstable)..

As this thread suggests you have to flash to v10a as referred on

first post

.Please read & follow the steps on flashing in 1st post and then rooting..Then install root checker available on the market (google play) to verify root access...hopes this helps.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] edwartwidianta:
Absolutely, see the picture attached
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] noobkidd:
For the people with v10a rooted, is it more stable than v10c?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] ~Phil~:
Though v10c is more stable, there are some bug fixes in v10c.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] noobkidd:
is it worth it to go back to v10a for a rooted device?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] ~Phil~:
I'll wait for rooted v10g it runs much smoother.. same is between v10a and v10c .
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] edwartwidianta:
I'm not sure. But I have experience breaking mainboard 2 times and 1 time software crash.

All replaced and repaired for free by LG Rep here :D.

Not sure what is the relationship but now I'm using v10a as advised by BGDonLINE. Almost two weeks without problem (I hope forever :))

BTW, @last mainboard replacement I meet at least 3 people with same issue with their L7 here in Indonesia.

I think this L7 has a big issue for their P705 without NFC.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] chistoph:
I tried again to root my device with no errors this time but no luck at all, it didn't root my phone
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] noobkidd:
when the custom rom is available for our phone, does it matter what version we are on? root or non root prior to flashing custom rom?

and the source of the hardware related is vendor right... it's up to vendor to make it open or close ;)

Well I didn't say that it was free but open source, developers has the right to charge for code they wrote but give you the right to rewrite that code and make it better, that is all about...

Our L7 series:good: (P700, P705 ,P708g) is being shown on the supported device page. Unlockroot is like a globle rooting Tool.

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] cooljohnnyboy:
Probably, your set of phone is different from mine. Mine is the South East Asia set, the latest firmware is V10D (cannot root), only can be rooted at V10C.

For your set, I guess you need to downgrade (by flashing) to V10A in order to root... (at your own risk)

Price is 159$ now i can trow in like 50$ or so and if some of u ppl are willing to donate we can pay his service and we will get fully unlocked phone.

Now u all know what that mean, cwm recovery will work custom roms etc...

Now write your opinions...
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] pkatsaras:
What about Paul from MoDaCo and his contact in LG? We haven't hear from him yet? And what about those who want to donate and those who don't? Is the unlocking be offered to them to?

Camera error

I´m willing to donate also

My problem is that I actually rooted my lg p708, to do so I flashed the firmware to V10a-APR17-2012, and the phone chaged model to lg p700, so everything's great except that the camera doesn´t work, it just said camera error,

I guess is not compatible, somebody knows if I can download a driver or something, o I need to reset to the original firmware.

I also tried installing apps like camera ICS, and lg camera, to see if they work, but every time it just said camera error
