I get what he is saying. When i reboot into bootloader from my rom I get to the bootloader screen with the writing down the bottom left, but when i turn phone on the screen stays blank as the other user says. takes a few turning ons for it to actually turn on properly and boot up the rom. i have been trying to redo the freegee but it says the device name is: geehrc_open_eu and software version is null. I can select the recovery to install but the phone stops at downloading boot image. "Error: there was a problem downloading a file. Please try again". Does this continually. not sure if freegee has actually worked properly. I do have a fully functional TWRP that i can bootinto once i get into the rom but i can't get into bootloader no matter what button combination i use while turning phone on.

Weird I can boot into it from rom (reboot -> bootloader) but not from it being off- and turning phone on to the rom is intermittent as well.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Szwarcu:
What versions of software are supported by FreeGee.

From what I see. European Opem 10b is troublesome ...

I don't know which one to flash to unlock it with freegee.

BTW

Can I flash official ROMs with KDZ Updater? That's what I did on LG GT540 but what about E975 ;)?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Firreath:
I was wondering if this worked with my phone with how it is.

edit: Sorry just read the big red lettering at the top of OP downloading the play store right now.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Szwarcu:
Guys. I'm Unlocked, but after flashing CyanogenMOD my recovery can't read any zips or folders transfered by me.

Whats wrong?

Old backups are not compatible. Make a new backup and you can restore it

Blank screen after lg logo

Ok. So I used the app on the playstore to unlock the bootloader on my optimus G att running stock 4.1.2 and have been having the problem other users have reported. When I turn the phone off for a long time (say over night) and I try to turn it on I get the LG logo and then a blank screen. This morning I had to go into the boot menu to get it to turn on properly. When I enter the boot menu with the letters on the bottom it says i am unlocked. What could be causing this? Is there a fix? Can I go back to stock to avoid this? Please Help!!!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xodeus:
What will happen if I factory reset the phone from the Vol - Power combination? I've some issues when charging and hope that a reset will help me. I've no computer nearby so I can't start over.

Can I factory reset safley?

Ive run the FreeGee app on the playstore and it worked fine. However I am selling my phone and need to factory reset? Is there any problem or special instructions for this?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xodeus:
Use the unbrick guide to flash with original software to lock the bootloader again.

I dont need to unbrick or unroot the phone... al I want to do is Factory Reset. Can I run it directly from settings? Or is there something else I need to do?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xodeus:
Use the unbrick guide to totally reset the phone. You need to flash with kdz update or with LG Support Tool.

Sendt fra min LG-E975 med Tapatalk2
[AT&T LG Optimus G] marcelarr:
So just doing it through settings is a no-go?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Kdz isn't even used for att. If you are just trying to wipe your info from phone a factory reset from settings should be fine. If you are leaving SD card format it in storage settings.

[Q] Screen lit on when charging with phone off

Roges E971, rooted and unlocked with CWM by freegee app.

Before unlocked, when it was powered off and on the charger it shows a fancy looking battery on charging. Then the screen would shut off and the red led would like up till it was charge.

After unlock, with the phone off and on the charger it shows a white battery on the screen that animates filling up. Then the battery disappears but the screen stays on. Even pull out the cable, the screen still on.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mopo01:
Seems to be an issue on unlocked phones. Have not seen any fix yet :o

hmm.. if this app can be used to lock and relock bootloader ..i have some questions :D.

1. if i unlock my bootloader and i decide later to lock again ans send my phone to service what will be the bootloader state? locked or relocked?

2. If i unlock and then lock again can i receive oda updates?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
If you are att then there probably won't be any more OTA updates, but yes you could. If you relocked it wouldn't say that in the bootloader, it would look stock. No way to tell.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] CrawnberyJack:
i have e975 europe open .... :)

thanks for your help .
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
OK. You probably won' t want to use OTA updates because sometimes they can break root or your ability to use the same bootloader unlock process that you used in the first place. The LGOG is popular enough that custom rom developers will most definitely include any official anything from LG when they update their stock based roms. Generally the only reason you'd want to relock your bootloader would be if you have to send it in for warranty service.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] CrawnberyJack:
yes , indeed. thanks again and have a good day :)

Stuck in LG logo

Please help me, I download your program

FreeGee-0.5_ATT.zip

run according to the instruction, No warring or Error beside of "no space left" that I understand is ok.

The device reboot in the end of the process and since then its stuck on LG logo...

Did I brick my device?

how can I repair it?

Thanks on all the help!!!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
Using the ZIP isn't really recommended. Its very outdated. The app works almost flawlessly though. Look at the teenybin thread to get back up and running.

I'm currently on stock jellybean. Do I have to revert back to 4.0 inorder to install recovery/unlock?

All you need is for your phone to be rooted and the FreeGee app from PlayStore.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sasoq:
Okay i see the box pop up and says i need a special unlock? And Is there issues with (unlocked) t-mobile optimus g?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Sim unlock shouldn't matter, the special unlock means your phone doesn't unlock as easy as most. It is a little more risky so it gives the popup.

Upgraded to 4.1.2 using LGNPST, rooted (confirmed with rootchecker), downloaded freegee from appstore but its not working.

Choose the SBL unlock method, got the code form web, put it in the unlock my phone dialog box. Now no matter which ever recovery i choose. TWRP 2.4 , 2.5 or CWM...they all download fine but in the end it always throws an error "Unfortunately, FreeGee has stopped"

I'm on stock, with factory reset data everything clean as you get on 4.1.2. I'm running out of ideas here... Can anyone help? i don't want anyother ROM like to stick to stock.

Should i go LGNPST downgrade to 20c and then try the freegee app listed here? IF im successfull can i upgrade to 20j keeping the bootloader unlocked?

I have sim-unlocked device and not using ATT

I was on stock rooted zvb JB OTA till yesterday and yesterday I unlocked the bootloader with freegee app(which btw is awesome) .Today I got a System update notification and I did it. My phone rebooted to twrp and somekind of patching was done by itself and then it rebooted and my root access seems to have lost..How can I root and get my root access back and unlock the bootloader??

I just had the same error as you last night. I didnt read the giant red text at the top which warns not to use the download version of freegee if you are using JB (which you should be using). I had to kdz to 20c so the phone could boot again, then I downloaded the app from google play and it worked perfectly.

The app will never stop working, just follow the instructions :)

It's amazing how many people do not read the first post of a development thread.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
This. I've rooted and ROM'd 5 different phones and 3 tablets. In every one of those cases, I've read EVERY post on both whatever root thread I was using, and whatever the first custom ROM I was going to put on. That way I'm well aware of potential issues. In one case that meant reading something like 500 posts. Never bricked anything, and never ran into anything unexpected.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] yellow-lemon:
Successfully rooted my e975k Lg Optimus G (Australia international version) with FreeGee. Note the bootloader freegee installs is busted on this phone: the menu doesnt display, and phone wont charge while turned off. The fix was hard to find but easy to do: flashed the latest bootloader makoz20 with CWM... houstonn has a flashable bootloader-only zip from the latest CM/AOSP rom I believe. Now the bootloader menu looks awesome with the proper graphics at the top, AND charging works as it should. Before, when charging with the phone off I would just get a constant black screen with backlight always on.

Hello! I have tried to unlock my e975 using the app from app store but it says my version is not supported. I have uploaded my boot img. How long it usually takes to get it to supported list?

[AT&T LG Optimus G] opssemnik:
guys, i wanna seriously make my nexus 4 a lg og, i download this extracted the .tar and i saw that this bootloader(aboot.img) is only 230kb while the n4 one is 512kb, the diference i think its because n4 bootloader is not only fastboot, but it haves that gui stuff that u can select to reboot recovery etc..., so is there any chance if i flash this my n4 would still boot(at least in fastboot)?

os: looking at partitons on the n4 i saw there is aboot and abootb, so if i screw with aboot would i can still boot into fastboot or download mode?

Same issue here for my e975 V10F. CWM works, bootloader unlock but I cannot boot into stock rom. It gave a kernel panic. I just flash my V10F KDZ back to solve this problem. Maybe we need to flash custom rom after unlock to fix this issue? I tried one but it not boot up, stuck at LG logo.

Edit : I used latest FreeGee in Play Store.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Cayman.n2o:
Had the same problem, also using latest freegee from play store. After recovering wwith kdz flash, second time I installed straight away liquid smooth rom and so far everything works ok
[AT&T LG Optimus G] cubanorafter:
Thanks, I recovered stock firmware and am back up and running. Started to panic since I finally decided to root and unlock last night.

The app looks easy, will give it another go a bit later. Since I wasn't the only one, maybe there is little bug that needs to be fixed?

Anyways, good job on the app. Thanks for your work

Free gee problems

HI, ON OPTIMUS G E975... FREE GEE from the last update install just the bootloader of nexus 4.... and no more the one of lg optimus g Why does it happen???
[AT&T LG Optimus G] artit:
I can confirm that for new e975 stock firmware if you not install new custom rom after you unlock bootloader, your stock rom will not work. I got it work by install custom rom. It work fine now.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ysabxe:
The UPDATE is horrible! Return back old version. Do not work on e970!

Solved

Old version 1.2 is in the PlayMarket -> FreeGee -> Description
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Cayman.n2o:
I have noticed this screen but I thought that its how its supposed to be on LGOG... I don't mind, at least its working :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] fra6220:
Yes this screen with Google Logo right! but if I use Kdz to flash stock rom again it gives errors and i have to unplug and replug it in download mode... The old version worked better it didn't give this "problems" Why did they change it like this :crying:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Shelnutt2:
You can still download the old version. It's linked in the description on the playstore.

Second we've ALWAYS used the nexus 4 bootloader for unlocking. Using the mako sbl stack was optional. Now a year after the device came out, I've got quite the number of complaints about why we don't use the mako sbl stack by default. So after lots of testing, the mako sbl stack is about as safe as flashing the ics sbl stack which is needed for jellybean devices. The advantage of this is you now get the bootloader screen.

If you really want the ics sbl stack. I'll add that as an option today.

I know some people are having issues with the new freegee, but I tested it throughly on every device I had access to, and I didn't push it to the play store until I felt it was ready.

If you do have an issue telling me "Its broke" or simply leaving negative comments on the playstore does 0 to help solve them. I need to know what you were doing, what happened, a logcat of running freeegee, and for you to send me your boot image. I can't solve problems I don't have myself, and with the large number of variations of lg supported devices out there, there are going to be hiccups.

Lastly I've had a few people claiming FreeGee bricked their phone recently. If it turns on at all it's far from bricked. Most of these people did other things after using freegee which caused it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Cayman.n2o:
Had the same problem with kdz and had to do unplug/plug thing. Maybe by using bootloader from nexus fw compatibility is avoided, since the previous version of freegee didn't support my phone...

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

Don't get me wrong, I'm most thankful for freegee. I have had a chance to unlock bootloaders on many devices and this is one of easiest so far. Just giving you a feedback so that you can have idea of to work on in future versions :)

Simple unplug/plug is easy, and crashing stock rom...why would someone even unlock bootloader if not planning to install custom rom??? :)

Just edit first post and point to those steps, and maybe and to app description on play store. By me, you will always have 10 star review.

[/QUOTE]

If you ever need to lock and root your phone back to stock, you will use lgnpst with the 20j/jelly bean tot/bin. It will not wipe data. After it is run and if you get stuck on the att splash screen, then you will need to factory reset which will wipe data but otherwise, data will not be affected. Most of the time though, it should boot up normally and factory reset is not needed.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Shelnutt2:
Sorry for the delay, it's been quite busy at my work recently due to the holidays. You are now supported properly.

This option will be enabled in a few minutes. No need for an app update.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] chevro1et:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Shelnutt2:
Chevro1et, I'm not sure what the issue is with detecting your device.

I just published a new beta for Freegee with some generic device detection implemented. You can download the beta by join this G+ community https://plus.google.com/communities/102801833359676696564 , and then following these links to the play store: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/edu.shell.freegee or https://play.google.com/apps/testing/edu.shell.freegee_free . Google forces you to be in a G+ community in order to get the beta of an application. The version you want is 1.9.10. If you only see 1.9.9, just wait a bit sometime google takes a few hours to push the update to everyone. See if this new version detects your device. From what I see sitting in my chair it should be working fine right now, but obviously it isn't.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] chevro1et:
Still no luck, got a real headscratcher on your hands, sir.
