[LG Optimus G (International)] brownsmell:
I just did the flash. Very nice installer Nottach has made. However, no changes it didnt seem to do anything. Maybe it requires a system wipe or factory default after? The Base is ICS, not JB.

CM10.1 is working on the e971 maybe put a link to that in your OP. This is JB. What isnt working: capacitive buttons and NFC. Not sure how one can use the phone without capacitive buttons maybe they use onscreen buttons instead. Anyways, sounds good to me, I will try this next because 1Gb of the LGOG's 2GB is always used. Not sure how much of that is from Rogers bloatware and how much is android system apps, but I guess I will find out soon.

There's also a aokp rom now, says e973 its from the same github as the cm rom, might work for us, afaik its untested
[LG Optimus G (International)] brownsmell:
I luved the aokp jb rom on my gf's galaxy s2x. I saw your post about this just as I finished installing CM10 and started typing in my accounts. So far no bricks.

The dev says if cm10.1 works then the AOKP rom will work too but he says to do wipes before installing the rom. This is contrary to the cm10.1 instructions so be careful

BloodBaron, do u know if anyone has hard bricked their e97x and not been able to recover?

Also, can we use Rom Manager to download a newer version of CWM? I have the older 6.0.1.5
[LG Optimus G (International)] BloodBaron:
yea i would follow the instructions on the rom posts individually unless anyone says otherwise, in my opinion i think it *should* work regardless

i had hardbricked my first e971 before we had 0.5 of freegee and the unbrick thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010624 )

now as long as have freegee'd and the "d" kdz we should be able to unbrick from pretty much anything as long as you can enter the download mode

for recoveries i use [RECOVERY][CWM] ClockworkMod v6.0.2.7 Touch v14.4.6 | exFAT support (01/10/13) from the att forum

works well so far http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010984

not sure about the rom manager tho, for the moment i would say no, just to be safe
[LG Optimus G (International)] brownsmell:
I stuck with v6.0.2.3 because there was some mention of errors with the ex-fat x.27 version because our canadian phones dont have sd cardslots.

Please add to the OP that the AOKP rom based on cm10.1 works now too. I have it running and it seems to be a skinned equivalent of cm10.1

[LG Optimus G (International)] DraperD2:
Hey I was wondering if anyone knows which model of the Optimus G I'd have to purchase in order for it to work in Italy and in the U.S.right now I have vodafone as a carrier I recently got hosed, bought what appeared to be the 13MP one to only find out once I received it that it was AT&Ts 8MP model when clearly the picture and the description said it was the 13MP one. Basically if I could pick I'd love to buy the 13MP one...but who knows let me know thanks!
[LG Optimus G (International)] brownsmell:
I was dissapointed when I found out I got an 8mp too BUT have u used the camera? Works great. Quality of the camera isnt as much about the MP anymore, it is more about optics and software. I havent heard from 1 person that used the LGOG camera and complained about it.

And Danny Bonaducci above, that sure is a big picture. Did you take that pic with your giant iPhone? Thanks.

Connectivity Specs for LG E971: GSM Bands:850/900/1800/1900 -- HSPA Bands:850/1900/2100 -- LTE Bands:700/2600

So let me get this straight if I were to buy the LG E971 Optimus G 2600 (Rogers) I'd be able to use it on AT&T's network and be able to get 2G, 3G and LTE speeds? since from Wikipedia AT&Ts radio frequencies are 2G/3G = 850/1900 MHz -- 4G/LTE 700MHz? 1700/2100 MHz AWS?

For T-Mobile 2G/3G (850/1900 MHz) -- 4G (1900 MHz) however no LTE since their band is 1700 MHz.?

Not compatible with Verizon & Sprint because they're CDMA?

Could anyone confirm this for me I'd really appreciate it.
[LG Optimus G (International)] brownsmell:
Yes I flashed it as I posted and put in my sig too :P

I dont think it was cm10.1 that caused the loss of my backups, unless it would have repartitioned my e971.

It was after updating to CWM 6.0.2.3 I checked and saw they were gone.

Drapper, dont buy the e971. It doesnt have an SD slot and 2600 isnt going to help u anyways. I havent read of any reason to buy it over the ATT version

In the meantime, I am downloading the .tot file from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2036404 and hopefully I can use LGNPST 1.3 to restore my e971. From what I understand so far this doesnt work because of a dll file problem. It is a 4 hour download, lol.

[LG Optimus G (International)] chadouming:
In theory, you should be able to get better speed with higher frequency, however, the coverage of a single tower and the ability to pass throught object diminish. However, currently with LTE of any band we should cap the wireless module and/or the wireless speed available. One does not forget the network congestion too.
[LG Optimus G (International)] geokilla:
Does anyone find that their call quality can range from poor to excellent? A few times, my calls were choppy despite having very good signal. Other times, it's crystal clear.

Also, has anyone realized that the phone does not stay in LTE all the time? Sometimes it stays in HSPA mode, despite having LTE. I might as well just disable LTE to save some battery as well.
[LG Optimus G (International)] chadouming:
when you enter building / go away from town usually LTE signal doesnt reach your phone so your phone revert to hspa.
[LG Optimus G (International)] geokilla:
I'm outside in the open... And it's Toronto... Call quality is really inconsistent compared to the S2. Even with poor signal, calls are crystal clear on the S2.

Rogers Optimus G

Hey, I am currently using the Rogers Optimus G running 4.0.4 with the OTA installed, Software version E97110e. I was able to root/unlockboot so I can flash roms onto my device. I currently can run the 4.1.2 jellybean stock. But the issue I am having is that I cannot flash the CM10.1 it will always give me the "Black Screen of Death". I tried using CWM all the versions as well as using TWRP with no luck, I am hoping there is away to flash this ROM successfully seeing that your tag says you are running a Rogers e971 with the Rom working. any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
That's cause the E update changed a couple of partitions which in turn messed up mako boot. So you have to downgrade to D and flash from there.

Download mode problem

In the last few days, when I plug in my phone to charge it goes into Download Mode and will not charge. I have to unplug the usb cable and hold the Power Button for 7 seconds to get it to reboot. It goes into download mode when I plug it into a PC or into just the wall charger.

This doesnt happen ALL off the time, just most of the time when I connect the USB cable.

I have the Rogers E971 running Android version 4.1.2 with the software version E97120c. I was wondering how i would go about rooting my phone.

You don't need to root so much as installing the Qualcomm battery guru beta app. This has been a real lifesaver for me. I have gained so many extra hours of battery life, it is unreal.
