[LG Optimus G Pro] rambo8987:
I'm sorry I haven't been on in awhile, does this a mean bootloader unlock and custom roms?
[LG Optimus G Pro] thecubed:
It means we have a flashable CWM.

The bootloader is still "locked" but it can be sidestepped with custom boot images.

I will be releasing shortly a boot image that will allow for more customizing of the phone.

So, in essence: yes. This is very much the pre-cursor to custom roms, and no, it is not an unlock however it is just as good.
[LG Optimus G Pro] houstonn:
Hey Ty,

awesome stuff as usual coming from you.. you're a machine!!! :)

anyways I wanted to say .. I have a deodexed system zip on your server

http://downloads.codefi.re/houstonn/lgog_pro/Optimus_G_Pro_deodex.zip since May.

also I have that zip already unzipped incase someone wanted individual files

http://downloads.codefi.re/houstonn/lgog_pro/unzipped

it basically needs a boot.img and the cwm updater script to be flashed and as well someone can debloat it too..

since I'm lazy and I don't have the og pro I didn't bother making the flashable zip. I can probably whip that up for you if you need tho..

Hi Cube,

thanks for the great job, so did this support Kr version like F240L?

Hey houstonn is there any chance of getting your rootbox for this phone. Came from lgog and loved the ROM.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Timisone:
I donated my 10 dollars, 5 to thecube and 5 to shabby. Thank you both for your hard work.
[LG Optimus G Pro] shabbypenguin:
ah i was wondering where that came from, ill be sure to pass it on to bliss then.. since all i did was compile a recovery for a device he was working on :P he did all the hard work of making loki work.
[LG Optimus G Pro] houstonn:
I'm thinking about it but I would like to get my hands on the device. Unfortunately its not offered here in Canada :(

TWRP is coming right up :D

My list of things to do:

1. Make an easy(-ier) method to flash the CWM (that doesn't even require root!)

2. Patch our stock boot.img so we can deodex and mod to our heart's content

3. TWRP

I always just do CWM because it's the quickest and easiest to compile, TWRP takes more time to get set up properly but it is muuuch more powerful.

Thanks guys for your support!
[LG Optimus G Pro] Timisone:
Anybody working on any roms for this? I would love to see something with 4.2.2!!!!

one question, can we make the font of TWRP a little bigger?

CWM is too small in HD panel
[LG Optimus G Pro] thecubed:

Send it to whomever you believe deserves it, or split it. Dan is a great guy and definitely deserves recognition too.

Also, I've almost got a security relaxed boot.img ready. For some reason it hangs on the LG logo for me (kernel is started).

I most likely didn't repack the ramdisk correctly.. I'll have it sorted out soonish.

Hi There...

ATT is the exactly signature as HK version E988

I tested with ATT CWM recovery and is working, I believe TWRP also ok (it is patched with LOKI) :laugh:
[LG Optimus G Pro] thecubed:
Nicely done! I can make separate threads for the HK version too, or if you'd like you can post them yourself :)

Also, I just posted an easy TWRP installer for y'all!

[+] Output file written to myboot.lok

==> then I flash this myboot.lok (with only re-compile zImage from LG source E988)

==> It will keep boot loop (of course I can see the security msg saying unlocked and boot msg)

==> then I re-using the orginal zImage and patched again by LOKI

==> then I flash this myboot.lok again (this boot.img only with patched LOKI signature)

==> Now it works again (of course I can see the security msg saying unlocked and boot msg)

I can boot a custom kernel (this problem is from LG given me the wrong instruction)

you should probably include a link to dan's paypal and mark off who has donated to either person so you guys can keep a running tab on who is left to pay.

edit: nvm saw the link, i missed it cuz it was all black text up there lol
[LG Optimus G Pro] vinniemac84:
once u get that done is that gonna be the final step to being able to do simple rom flashes in twrp or cwm or does more work need to be done to be able to do roms?
[LG Optimus G Pro] djrbliss:
I'd suggest someone set up an auto-Loki CWM or TWRP, which uses the loki_patch and loki_flash tools to automatically pull the aboot from the current device, patch the incoming boot.img, and flash it as part of the normal update.zip flashing process. That would allow you to flash custom ROMs without having to manually use Loki to prepare them for a specific device variant.

As an aside, could I suggest that all these development-related posts be taken to separate threads? This thread is ostensibly about the bootloader unlock bounty, so it should probably be reserved for comments related to that bounty.

I did not receive this donation. Who did you send it to?

In general, I would say that I encourage people to donate for [MENTION=1157052]thecubed[/MENTION]'s work, but I don't think anything he's done qualifies as satisfying the bounty, since I'm the one who authored and ported Loki to bypass the bootloader. As a result, I don't think it's reasonable to use a donation to [MENTION=1157052]thecubed[/MENTION] to satisfy a bounty pledge, so if you pledged, I think your options are to either donate to me or to explain why you don't think Loki satisfies the bounty.

[MENTION=1157052]thecubed[/MENTION], would you mind posting your work in a separate thread so it can get the donations it deserves separate from the bounty?
[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:
The root works fine with the value pack, the recovery needs updated, which does not matter, no one has roms yet.

Yes, they hang low
[LG Optimus G Pro] madmack:
2 cents:

the person that got loki ported successfully is [MENTION=4229979]djrbliss[/MENTION]. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate what [MENTION=1157052]thecubed[/MENTION] has done and admire the fact that he kept us informed along the way, but the BOUNTY here is to get the device unlocked, and Dan did this pretty much single-handedly. If you pledged any amount to this bounty to get this device unlocked, the money should go to Dan. You can donate further to the [MENTION=1157052]thecubed[/MENTION] for his efforts, but not for the unlock itself.

end of my 2 cents.
[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:
The phone is not unlocked, it is a work around, imo, the bounty is yet to be truly fulfilled.

Yes, they hang low
[LG Optimus G Pro] dexim:
I agree completely. The phone is not unlocked. If you feel anyone deserves a donation for the work around, by all means, donate to them.
[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:
I agree to THIS

Yes, they hang low
[LG Optimus G Pro] thecubed:
Woooooah buddy.

Alright, I see where this is going.

Ok, everyone, let's make this simple.

Do NOT donate to me for the unlock. Donate to Dan if you pledged.

There.

Now there's no arguments.

If a bounty is going to fragment this nice community, and make Dan unhappy and discontent with the awesome work he's done for us, I'll step out of the way.

I'll be over here, in my corner, working on other things for this phone if you need me.
[LG Optimus G Pro] @gbaxh:
Thanks

[MENTION=554687]cubed[/MENTION], thanks for your hard work from the beginning on this, it is appreciated
[LG Optimus G Pro] djrbliss:
The irony of you telling everyone what "it's all about" while claiming you "will never be on a high horse" is not lost on me.

I couldn't care less what you think about my attitude. What exactly have you contributed to the Android community? I have published original root exploits for several *dozen* Android devices, and published tools to either completely unlock or bypass the bootloaders on Motorola, Samsung, and LG devices. The vast majority of this work was done completely for free. When bounties were involved, I have donated a significant portion of proceeds to charity organizations, totaling over $1000 in charitable contributions over the past year.

If you seriously think I ported Loki to your device for your $800 bounty, at least half of which I already announced I would be donating to charity, you're deluded. Let's be clear about what happened here. Dozens of people pledged their money as a reward for a developer who put in his time and experience to allow users to modify the software running on their own devices. I provided that ability: users may now run fully custom kernels and recovery images, with no restrictions. Then, dozens of people decided they didn't need to honor their pledges because of a convenient loophole that allows them to claim the bootloader isn't "unlocked" (I challenge you to actually define what this means) while still reaping the benefits of my hard work for free. This sense of entitlement is exactly what drives people with real skills and experience away from your community.
[LG Optimus G Pro] nthknd:
Honestly I'm so over all of this. Dan is there a link on your page? I looked on your profile and didn't see a link.. I'm a man of my word so I will donate to both as I stated. I donated to thecube last week. This week its you. The part that gets me is I'm not rooted on any of my phones but I appreciate everyone here. I've learned stuff from some of you, I've bought from some( when we could buy and sell) and I've helped some. Can we please get back to being a community? We should be fighting the carriers not each other.

Dan thank you for your work. Thank you for donating your proceeds. Thecube thank you for being willing to take a step back for the sake of the coummunity and thank you for your work. Please lets not let this forum become as classless and as cold heart and rude as some of the other forums on xda. Truth be told we need guys both like dan and thecube and people to help us keep our selves in check.
[LG Optimus G Pro] shabbypenguin:
its not about the money for dan. The people who are saying loki isnt good enough to qualify as a workaround, IMO shouldnt be using loki as a workaround then. on one hand you blast it for saying its a bypass and youll wait to donate until what you want shows up, while you flash a custom recovery thanks to his work.

regardless, it doesnt matter what a single one of you say. this is the exact same bull**** that happened when dan released loki the first time. plenty of att/verizon people bashing him because the software he provided wasnt what they wanted.

to all the people that support him here, thanks. i really and truly hope dan takes a long look at everything and stops helping anyone. ive known him for a few years and he is truly awesome. has helped me numerous times with the various unloved devices my team works on. even goes as far as to explain how his exploits work in shabby terms, he has come out of "retirement" to work on so many devices. i hope this last bit finally pushes him over and he instead focuses where he is truly appreciated.

edit: and as to everyone wondering as if this qualifies vs doesnt... dan inquired about this pages back ago (its when thecubed was working on it and everyone was set to donate to him). http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43432573#post43432573 the general concensus then was it counted, everyone was super stoked he was working on it and it was only after it was done that people jumped in.
[LG Optimus G Pro] inkdrink:
RE:

Dan-

Thank you for your hard work. I have not yet donated per my initial pledge but will be doing so by the end of this weekend, rest assured.

Additionally, please do not let the overly-vocal minority of a couple of people with a chip on their shoulder sour your interest in continuing to help support the rest of us on this device. While we're not as willing to derail a thread to get our point across, we're happy you're doing what you're doing.

As thecubed has already conceded this, will the two or three troublemakers please let this die? You're damaging this community and decreasing the likelihood of developers continuing to offer us assistance.
[LG Optimus G Pro] simonsickle:
I think I will put my two cents in as well. As a developer, I do not expect anything in return for my developmental efforts. I place something up on a public downloads server with unlocked links. Any file of this sort that is non-encrypted or non liscense protected, by definition, is free for public use. By releasing anything in this mannor, you are doing it for the betterment of the android community as a whole, and not for public self gain or in some cases gain in material funding.

To say that you expected everyone who made a pledge to pay is outrageous in its self. Users should

NOT

be required to pay, unless you threw it up on a private server and set up a way to regulate the download by only allowing those who have paid.

In all honesty, this is not how I believe a Recognized Developer should conduct themselves. I know, and am friends with, many Recognized Devs (jmz, lloir, rohan) all of which conduct themselves in the proper way that a dev should. They don't complain if they don't get donations, they do it because they enjoy it and they enjoy furthering the android development community. If you do not believe that furthering the community is one of your duties as a RD, well then you're not following the ideals that XDA was founded off of.

In summary, I am saying that XDA RD's should not behave this way. I have done lots of things android related, from kernels to tools to scripts to even helping with some roots. I have never expected a dime to come out of it. I have gained money out of it, but all was because of the users feeling that they truly benefited.

Okay thats the end of my rant.
[LG Optimus G Pro] thecubed:
Howdy,

First off, I'd like to say, again, thank you for your hard work. I personally appreciate what you've done for the community and how you've been transparent with your discoveries. You've proven that you know what you're talking about and that you are very skilled with what you do.

I hope that nothing I have done has been misconstrued to you as being negative towards you or the work you've done-- and I most definitely do not want to cause XDA drama.

Secondly, this is directed at the rest of everyone in this thread and less to Dan, I'd *really* like for everyone to knock it off with the quips and snaps here.

There is nothing good that will come of this thread if we all start trying to one-up each other.

That said, let's not go on writing posts like this trying to challenge each other with statements like "I couldn't care less what you think about my attitude". We need to just settle down here and get along for now.

I've already said, Dan deserves the bounty for his hard work. I don't think a bounty is worth all of us getting upset with each other. It's just money, not some miracle.

EDIT: Mods, if you're reading this.. please do not delete this thread or these posts. Let them stand as an example to show that we are trying to work this out amicably. This discussion needs to happen, and deleting posts will only anger the natives ;) However, as usual, totally offensive posts don't belong here. Thanks :D

[LG Optimus G Pro] Gotroot:
I honestly am sad that people would even start acting like this wasnt what they wanted.. It makes me not even want to dev "cook roms" for this phone now. The fact of the matter is the phone will now allow user to do what they wanted to do in the first place "run custom roms and other stuff"

Without Loki you would still be stuck with a basic factory phone. So I think people need to chill out before all devs run off.I for one am very thankful for Dans and Cubes work. Not tring to be rude to cube but if dan wouldnt have came in and fixed Loki it could have been weeks/months before we would have go Loki. It amazes me that people that cant barely root a phone without a one click solution give devs the most Hell. But w/e. Theres my rant. Thanks for yalls hard work and look foward to working beside the devs here to make some awesome roms!!!!

[LG Optimus G Pro] hroark13:
for those that need Dan's donation link, it is

http://goo.gl/zBGb0

Loki is a work around, but it gives you the ability to run custom kernels and recoveries, and that is the only reason the boot loader needed to be unlocked in the first place, so it deserves the bounty

I really can not believe that some people are giving Dan grief, and insulting him, he has done so much for the Android community, he deserves our respect, and gratitude. He has helped me and other people many times on IRC, he is just an awesome person.

If you do not think that Loki deserves the bounty, than do not install any of the Lokied custom kernels or recoveries on your phone
