[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] Pupsterface:
This is my first thread here, if it is at the wrong place be free to put it where it belongs of course...

There is a tutorial telling how to install the ROM SimpleBlue by SNX in French, so I've decided to translate it into English for anyone who's interested. (Original tutorial is here: http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/136748-rom-simpleblue-by-snx/ ).

THIS IS FOR THE LG OPTIMUS L7 ONLY. You have been warned. :)

***I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE OF ANY DAMMAGE OR OTHER ISSUES THAT COULD COME OUT OF THIS, AS I AM ONLY TRANSLATING A GUIDE MADE BY SOMEONE ELSE*** I also don't take any credits, except for the translation part. I haven't tried to install that ROM either, so please don't ask me how to do this and that, for I am no developer.

Here we go:

Prerequisites:

Have the following USB drivers installed ((Go on the original tutorial to get the download links))

-la romSimpleBlue (v10k base version réviser)

-KDZ_FW_UPD_EN

-le firmware V10k (81 NEU/EUROPE OPEN)

-7zip pour la decompression de l archive

-le patch a lancer apres le premier demarage

Preparation:

First of all, we will prepare the necessary files for the isntallation. Unzip the file "rom a decompresser avec 7zip.zip". A file named "system.img.ext4" will appear. Then search for the file "LGMOBILEAX" located under C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX, copy the file named "system.img.ext4" and keep it open. Unzip "KDZ_FW_UPD_EN" on your desktop, launch "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe", select "3GQCT" and "EMERGENCY" then browse your files to load your "V10k_00.kdz" (the real firmware version, not the rooted version). DO NOT DO ANYTHING. Do not click on "Launch Software Update". (Keep it open the way it is), make sure that both windows are open and visible, once you have met all these conditions you can go to the next step.

Installation of the ROM:

Plug in your device and launch the flashing operation by clicking and get ready to copy the file " system.img.ext4" in the file named "phone". Open the file named "phone" and press on Refresh until the file named "system.img.ext4" appears and reaches 400 Mo. As soon as it reaches 400 Mo., go back to the file named "LGMOBILEAX", and right when the program starts to flash your device, copy your file " system.img.ext4" into the file named "phone" (drag and drop) to replace the one in the file "phone". You might get errors, it's normal, but let the flashing operation finish on your device. It will then reboot and there you go, you will be running V10k-SimpleBlue.

Installation of the patch:

You might ask what this patch is for. Actually, it will reconfigure ADW with optimized settings. So to install this patch, first set up your device until you get to the welcome screen (phone desktop), then unzip the archive, check on USB Debugging in Dev Options on your device, and launch "SimpleBlue Patch.bat", the follow the instructions ((sorry, if they are in French only, I can't do much to translate them, you'll have to use Google Translate for that...)) then your phone will reboot once done.

Knows bugs/issues:

Bug with the status bar and notifications, both the texts and icons will not disappear. Nothing too bad, should get fixed later.

When a word is too long, it will sometimes display "...?". Don't worry, it's perfectly normal.

And a few mores...

P.S.: Do not remove the memory card while your device is turned on.

This is it... The guy who wrote that just can't use punctuations or conjugate verbs accordingly, really makes following his instructions a pain (and French is my native language...!). That I haven't tried what he says makes it harder for I can't try and explain things in a clearer way.

I hope that this can help anyone who wants to get that ROM on their LG Optimus L7 (I have no idea if it can work on other devices, it seems to be made for that one only).

If you have any questions regarding translation, ask me, I'll see what I can do!

Once again, I take no credit for that tutorial, only for the translation, if it helps you please don't forget to thank me :)

Happy flashing!
