Ok, just got my baby unlocked...quick and painless. Thank you again Team Codefire, you guys are absolute geniuses. Sending in my donation now. Going to try to hop on IRC later, had some questions.

One of them being, CWM 6.0.1.9 was recently released, will it be possible to flash this new version over the v6.0.1.5 provided now that we are unlocked?

Also, don't forget to do a backup people. A CWM backup should be the first thing you do after your unlock. As stated in the OP video, you can still get security lockdown on bootup if you mess too much with the boot.img...but even if this happens you can enter recovery to restore your backup with no problems.

Might want to add this to the OP in your directions as the final step.

Edit: Also just tipped off a bunch of tech sites in hopes of spreading this joyous news and bringing more attention to this wonderfully underestimated and completely under-marketed device. $99 on contract for a Snapdragon S4 Pro quad core phone with 2 GB of RAM, a beautiful 4.7 inch IPS display, and now an unlocked bootloader? Hahah...no brainer. My friend just spent $299 on contract for his ATT Note 2 and keeps trying to rub it in my face how much better it is than my OG...his insecurity regarding it is seething out of his S-Pen. I owned the International Note 1 and could not be happier with this upgrade.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shawnchalfant:
Got the word out to a buddy at Engadget!!

Spread the word, make a donation. Tear down that wall. Avoid OTA updates if they get pushed.

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------

Just tried to check for CWM update via app, and nothing yet, give it time I guess.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] NotablyNice:
Also want to add, you can use CWM app to reboot into recovery no problem. However, I had an issue upon the reboot into the OS where I had no cell or data. Just a red X above my empty cell bars. After about 5 minutes it randomly came back. I duplicated it by entering recovery via CWM app again. This time I turned on airplane mode, then off, and cell/data came immediately back. Can receive/make calls, and use data no problem. Just a heads up
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shawnchalfant:
Thanks for the info, encourage donations.

Remind others to donate, if you have the funds, share it with the devs. Anything helps them continue future development.j
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mbonus:
Alright who talked; fredo?

Hope they don't patch it.

How do we block ota's?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ilkinansr92:
You can't flash original cwm as this one was modified to work with our phone

Agreed, if anyone doesn't know the donation link is on the unlock download page, just click it and donate very simple. Just showed some love. Donated 3ER95993NM574422W thanks for your awesome work this phone would suck without you guys.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] reignlight:
Great phone deathmonkey... retiring my inspire 4g also... need to install this freegee asap
[AT&T LG Optimus G] NotablyNice:
Thanks for filling me in. Hopefully we can get the newer CWM patched eventually then
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JMM2009:
Touch would be awesome :–)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shawnchalfant:
Forget CWM update for now

This version of CWM is good for the time being. A custom ROM would be the next big thing, then go back and fine tune later with updates.

4.2 Horray!!! DONATE!!!!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] NotablyNice:
Yeah it's fine but it's not perfect. Capacitive buttons aren't even mapped properly. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying. What has me a little worried is the secretive nature of the exploit (which is fine also). It means we will have to rely on Team Codefire for basically everything right?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shawnchalfant:
Better than relying on LG.

I would rather rely on them any day, I'm not a dev, so all I care about is that it works and exists to serve it's purpose. If your a dev, then OK I can somewhat understand your direction, but then again then they beat you to he punch. Just be thankful, they could have just given up then what. Where would we all be. Just use it, donate and say nothing more than thx to the dev team.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] reignlight:
Just flashed my bootloader on my lunch break and all is well on mine...tried out bootloader and recovery. Can we flash a different recovery at this point if appliable
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I also would like to know how to block OTAs so none can sneak up and install without user interaction. My best and only guess is to remove "fota" entry from the APN, but I haven't even checked the APNs yet so I'm not even sure it's there :-/
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shawnchalfant:
OTA response.

It will not be forced by your carrier, you will be asked to update or you have to do it manual. If asked just cancel or opt out. Custom roms usually eliminate this all together or modified stock roms.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] NotablyNice:
Ok you're obviously not following me so please refrain from replying to my posts. Thanks
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ilkinansr92:
Please restrain yourself from asking about updates and ota's they will all come in time. We just released unlocked bootloader and that seems like not enough now to people.

Also if you are here only to thank the team just click thanks or donate. And save posts for bugs or issues only. But there should be none now.

On my device the update was pushed and installed in my sleep. Total is in the apn. If I remove it it should prevent?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] drwario:
Also if I am on the update that was pushed to me. Can I do the unlock safely? This is what I'm on now

Post #53 has an English version of the batch file that makes it a little easier, but it's super simple to do and worked on my AT&T version without any problems.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shawnchalfant:
How do you figure?

Please refrain? Really! How am I not following what your saying, sounds like your lost friend. Read what you said, your stating your point, then back pedaling. Be happy with what is given, example "captive buttons not mapped" but your just saying.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
Gonna be doing this tonight after work...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] drwario:
Unlocked! Did back up. I'm ready!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Globalrebel:
Will be doing this when I get home!! Thank you for your work on this!!! Lets hope LG doesn't screw this up for us when they out their JB ROM in December. :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] brunes:
Just want to offer a tip here.. the way 99% of OTA updates work, is they download the image to flash, and then prompt you to reboot. If you get this prompt, just open your file manager and locate the image that was downloaded (should not be too hard, it will be the giant file you have no idea what it is), and erase it. OTA updates don't reboot without prompting.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jsylvia007:
Me too!! Bring on the ROMS!!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] yaooitsbrett:
Does the unlock erase everything like the unlock for the HOX did?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jsylvia007:
Nope. Nothing was erased for me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] yaooitsbrett:
Awesome, thanks. :) I'm pumped about our small little dev group here
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jsylvia007:
So am I, I just hope that we can get official Cyanogen support!! I really love that ROM.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
Ok, just sat down and did this in 5 minutes. I haven't had to unlock a phone for ages. This was silly easy, and fool proof. After it finished I used ADB to reboot to recovery and I'm doing a Nandroid now. Awesome work guys, flawless. I'm excited again.

I'm hoping this will open the floodgates of interest for devs/ROMS etc..

Donation coming later this evening. :good:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
Most devs that are most likely interested are ones that own the device. Or unless its group devs.

Awesome work going on here by the devs. Can't wait to get the Canadian Optimus G E973 (Telus) to have the same unlock priviledge. :laugh:

.5?

[AT&T LG Optimus G] thecubed:
Just updated the OP with the 0.5 version which removes the LG Security checks in /system

Special thanks, once again, to Shelnutt2 !

We're working on a fix for CWM backups. For now, don't use the "dedup" format and see if that helps.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Zackhery:
How does one upgrade from .4 to .5?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] carrett:
Just install 0.5., it'll overwrite.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] drwario:
Can it be flashed in cwm? Or do I have to run the .zip in windows like I did when I originally unlocked. I am on the base Tom now? Sorry I am confused

sent from the best phone ever
[AT&T LG Optimus G] carrett:
You have to install it via the .bat the way you did the first one. thecubed hasn't created CWM-flashable zip updates...yet.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Kiserai:
Thanks so much for this you guys. 0.5 worked flawlessly for me.

On a sidenote, are people noticing any differences in battery life with the new kernel installed?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] brunes:
Wow if that is all you are waiting for then I might pick one of these up today just to get that to you.

Can someone explain how to get your boot image? I don't see it in this thread or any other thread in here.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bahaa3000:
Step 1(ignore if you already rooted): Download the root files and preform root from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1941699

Step 2: Download the zip from the first page of this thread

Step 3: extract the zip into a folder anywhere on your computer

Step 4: plug in your phone on charge mode (with debug on) and (after you root it obviously) , then run the file that says "freegee" , it's a "windows batch file" , it will open a comand prompt, press any key (instructions will be on the screen to tell you this) and keep your phone screen on, it does all the work.

DONE !

Now to access the CWM , turn off the phone, hold the power and volume up and then let go when you see the LG screen, you then will see the image where it says bootloader unlocked, click volume down TWICE then power button, BAM ...ClockWorkMod recovery !
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonJoel:
Ok. I'll have to wait then, since I'm on the road and don't have access to a computer. Thanks for confirming.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mike1767:
I'm not sure about it, but I think he meant how does he pull the stock boot image from his phone so that he can send it to the devs. They had asked about the boot.img from a Canadian version of the phone. If that wasn't his question, and they're waiting on that, if given instructions on how to get that file from the phone, i'd be more than happy to get it for you (Bell Version, E973).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] brunes:
Yes that is exactly it - I want to help the devs unlock the Canadian version but I don't know how to obtain this image. I can check this forum but can't go on IRC at work so if someone has instructions on how to do this please post... I might be running off to the mall and picking up this phone at lunch.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BloodBaron:
Hopefully both canadien versions, e973 and e971
[AT&T LG Optimus G] IrateCustomer:
Take this to PM if it's that important to you.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] _Epic:
Is it cool to do the .5 even though it says AT&T in the file name?

EDIT: Or I should have paid attention before I clicked the thread that is in the AT&T forum. This won't kill my phone will it? If I did it already?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] thracky:
I'll dump my boot images once I get home, on the telus 973 here.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mk_ln:
i'd be more than happy to provide anything for the E971 (Rogers version) if given detailed instructions :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Globalrebel:
Unlocked!! Didn't take more then a few minutes!!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] thecubed:
Well, it shouldn't have done anything if you ran .5 on a Sprint phone...

With that said... c'mon, really? Flashing something that says ATT on a Sprint phone? I just facepalm'd.

The sprint and att version share the same bootloader, so technically it's not "bad" but the Sprint kernel has a different kernel with specific charger code.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] IamEli:
Alright, I need some assistance. I am not new to the rooting, custom ROM scene and I normally have no issues with any of it. I was able to gain root access and then install FreeGee with no issues, I even made SURE that the "backups" folder was created after I unlocked the phone.

Well I just tried rebooting my phone and I'm stuck. The phone won't do anything other than boot-loop, I press the power button, the LG symbol comes up and then quickly flashes away and then it goes black. And that's it, I cant get it to do anything else other than enter "Download Mode".

Please help me restore the phone, I was trying to boot to CWM so I could do a backup and of course that's when this happened.

Thanks

Edit:

So somehow, miraculously, my phone booted haha I basically just kept mashing buttons because it couldn't really get worse than not working and BOOM...it turned on.

But I'm still wondering if anyone else has had anything like this happen to their phones??

Thanks
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mbonus:
Which version of freegee? As posted above, there are separate zips for att and sprint. So make sure you have the right one for your phone. Version 0.5 is the latest afaik.

Best bet is to shoot over to the IRC channel for direct support. freenode: #lg-optimus-g
[AT&T LG Optimus G] IamEli:
Thanks for the quick reply. I downloaded ans used the FreeGee-0.5_ATT file in the 1st post. It's real weird how things happened like that. I think I'm going to go back and re-flash the unlock to ensure everything got written correctly.

Thanks
[AT&T LG Optimus G] karelson:
Did any one noticed the after the unlock the battery is draining faster?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jsylvia007:
If anything, I've noticed that mine is draining considerably slower.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
I didn't notice any difference at all. Honestly I don't think mine could drain any faster anyway. :banghead:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] karelson:
Maybe I did something wrong?

after the process I should turn of debug mode and security options I turned on?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] _Epic:
I guess you didn't read my edit, i clicked on this thread by accident. I flashed the newest sprint one and everything seems fine. Thanks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] skyrocket23:
if i unlock my bootloader. and say my phone breaks later and i call att and ask them for a replacement. am i able to lock the bootloader without them knowing. thank you
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Deaf Mute:
You should be able to LGNPST back to the old bootloader (the process pulls backups from your phone) if you read the OP there an easy uninstaller in the works.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Globalrebel:
so I think my phone is bricked now!

[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonJoel:
Look man, I understand you're freaking out, but you've posted this in at least 3 threads already.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] dac1227:
You are absolutely correct. Nobody cares. Just don't tell em.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] skyrocket23:
do u know what it would say though?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] thecubed:
If you LGNPST, it all goes away. The bootloader was never being "unlocked" by LG, so there are no flags set.

End result: nothing, the phone goes back to being how it was when you took it out of the box after using LGNPST.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] kirdroid:
I did a backup to internal sdcard and it shows only three files.

I am using Optimus LTE2 in korea(which is korean version of Spetrum2 VS930). Since Optimus lte2 is also a LG device, bootloader maybe similar. So I think you can unlock optimus lte2 bootloader if you unlock korean version of optimus g. If you have time, can you do it for us??

Anyway sorry for my bad english:o

Read my guide for a temporary fix for the md5 bug. There are only three files cause the rest of the backup is in blob format in the blobs folder.

Weird thing happening on my end.

Then you haven't created a backup in CWM yet, or you're in the wrong folder.

There is an update being pushed out. It won't flash anyway because CWM recovery.

Today I received a ota. Not sure if its new or old as I got my phone yesterday from at&t. If any one of you/op can post a screen shot of your build version etc which is safe to unlock. We, who still did not unlocked will appreciate. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] lyall29:
You just answered your own question. You did not unlock your bootloader, therefore you did not root, so you will be able to update via OTA.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] streetsmart999:

Also, I'm still working on the MD5 issue. I'm torn between just saying "forget it" and switching to TWRP, but CWM is so much easier for me to debug, since I'm familiar with it.

Well, I guess I'm on to new territories!

[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:

I too am a fan of cwm over twrp since I've been using the 1 since beginning. Call me bias
[AT&T LG Optimus G] avus_m3:
Having used both for my suffering flashoholism, TWRP is much much nicer!

Anyways, I really wanted the Nexus but no LTE or SD card is a killer for me especially when you only offer an 8 and 16GB version. I looked at the LGOG but was swayed away by being an LG phone and not confident in them updating etc. I looked at the Note 2 and love the size. Reading this thread just sold me on the LGOG!

I was thinking it would be easy (relative term) to port over the Nexus 4 stuff so this completely sells me. You should start getting a commission from AT&T/LG because this will move some units!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Gster09:
I'm not sure if this helps because I haven't unlocked, but my OTA update was rather small (3-4 MB). Afterwards, the only thing I could find that changed was the software version from "L" to "O". Perhaps this helps the devs figure out what AT&T and LG are up to! :D

Dear Cubed, First let me thank you for the wonderful work you have done.. Really appreciated. I read OP's all the time.,, as you can see in my signature I have done some work on Rom's myself so not new to this. The only reason I asked about the OTA + Build number is.. Cos sometimes the phones come with already patched from At&T or sometimes there might be multiple OTA's so once u receive the phone you get the first one and then following ones. so we, who come late to the game know which versions (Build or Kernel) above or below are safe... then we can flash. its better to be safe than sorry. that was my intention.

thanks again for all the wonderful work.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] whoamanwtf:
I get that when I try to connect over Data, but it works fine over WiFi.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] thecubed:
So, just a heads up:

We're seeing some devices that might have this unlock patched out of the box...

This isn't anything official yet, but we've got 2 cases on AT&T, and 3 on Sprint where this unlock makes the phone unable to reboot.

If you end up in a situation where you cannot boot successfully after unlocking, simply LGNPST back to stock. Nothing to worry about.

We're working on this issue as time allows...
