freegee doesn't unlock your device. go to the android development section and find this thread to root and install cwm and .....read everything carefully and thoroughly as you make brick your device.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Akhileshjj:
Thanks, i went through the thread and i have

1.rooted my og pro,

2.installed freegee and installed cwm from there (no lg security bypass)

Now do i need to flash normal cwm or can i use the cwm installed through freege itself too flash any custom rom?

I tried flashing cm11 but i got error as not lokified recovery or something...

Had tried only normal cwm earlier (no freegee) and ended in bootloop.

Please guide,
[LG Optimus G Pro] Akhileshjj:
Any revert guys... Sorry if i was too impatient for reply..
[LG Optimus G Pro] bijandoroudian:
Honestly i wanted to answer earlier but didn't want to give wrong instructions.

Don't know why you got the error installing cm11. Lately I've had some problems with recoveries through freegee and bricked my phone and going back to stock was a pain. So I'd say flash the recovery at your own risk.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Akhileshjj:
Thanks, without unlocking the Phone if i use freegee only to install cwm then reboot normally into recovery then getting stuck at bootloop ��... With lg security error

Edit :

Just got it to work. Only problem is i will get into bootloop if i try using Philz recovery after CWM, So as of now i am more than happy with only CWM with freegee. (Still not bypassing LG security).:)
[LG Optimus G Pro] Gunstra:
I have an LG Optimus G Pro E980 and have installed this app, ran backup EFS and install CWM 6.0.4.7 without any problems. I then booted to recovery and ran a nandroid backup to sdcard1 (external card) without any issues and did a reboot system to get back to my homescreen and was asked if I wanted to Fix the recovery flash on boot, so I said yes and all seems to be running great.I do not see an advanced menu, I hit the menu button on the phone and I get one setting which is enable dropbox. So I guess all went well even though I can't find anywhere to bypass bootloader, but I am more worried about having a recovery so I can backup my stock rom for transferring stuff from phone to phone when need be. Should I update loki zip?
[LG Optimus G Pro] darknessy:
Any updates?

Thnks for your hard work:good:
[LG Optimus G Pro] deadenz:
I used this on my g pro. I just rooted my g flex and it said somewhere to use freegee pro to install cwm.. is this true? software version D95010n or would I need to go back to D95010c or D95010l?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Gunstra:
Ok, I now must retract my statement that everything went great with this on my LG Optimus G Pro E980. Now when I boot the phone all of a sudden it shows the LG logo and an error at the top left (so quick I can't read it all but something about boot success and an error). But of course I get a boot loop and not a boot success. Then it goes into recovery where when I reboot system it asks me to fix recovery flash on boot, no matter if I choose yes or no it just boots right back in recovery again. I chose CWM 6.0.3.8 from freegee.

Any suggestions on fixing this or am I stuck flashing a new rom on here? I started getting this bootloop after my phone downloaded an ota update and I hiot continue to install it, it then booted into cwm recovery and this bootloop started.

Running Stock 4.1.2 (rooted using E980 Universal Root), with freegee (backed up EFS), cwm 6.0.3.8 installed by freegee. I was able to do a nandroid backup from recovery, so any help is appreciated. I would like to try to fix this issue without wiping and re-installing the rom.
[LG Optimus G Pro] deadenz:
Happened to me also. Flash back to stock and start over
[LG Optimus G Pro] rey031:
I don't think this is a FreeGee or CWM issue. When you are rooted and especially if you have a custom recovery, I don't think you should accept any official OTAs. It's because the OTA will need to use the official recovery and will always fail because the official recovery is missing (or something along those lines).
[LG Optimus G Pro] cougar214:
I had a few problems with my phone giving me the "your phone is not registered yet" error. It went away after I signed into my google account so I assumed that was the cause, somehow, I didn't question it. Then I had an unexpected bootloop and had to flash back again to stock. Went through the motions of rooting and installing freegee, cwm. And now I have that same error again but this time it will not go away. The point is, I'm wondering if having the custom recovery on here is the cause of this issue? I know the update option works with your factory recovery module to install any updates. So would it be reasonable to assume the update process looks for the stock recovery when checking for updates?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Gunstra:
Know where I can find the stock JB (4.1.2) that my phone came with? I have searched but not finding it in the Original Dev section here.

Restore stock reovery

Hi there

dont trow stones at me , but i have one question

If this app unlocks the bootloader , loki , and free our phone by letting us using cwm or twrp... why there is no option to relock it ?

i mean (in my case,i am wainting for kitkat ota...but if i install any otas i will get stuck on cwm screen)why are no option to restore , boot img or stock recovery via this app ....
[LG Optimus G Pro] notifyme:
The "option" to re-lock it is to use LGFlashTools.exe to reinstall the original factory firmware on your phone. when completed the root and bootloader bypass are removed and you can then accept OTA updates...
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
Worked great for me..:D

When the f*ck did we get ice cream??
[LG Optimus G Pro] smaybe:
I did the unlock (without security lge) and bout normally .

but I got a question I can't mount external SD card in recovery

Anyone has a solution without formating it?
[LG Optimus G Pro] turilo:
The people whom it failed on were you on the updated OTA or TOT firmware or still on original stock?

---------- Post added at 12:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

It's apparently a cwm source issue, hopefully it will be fixed soon or wait till twrp gets integrated into the freegee application :thumbup:
[LG Optimus G Pro] Shelnutt2:
What sw version were you running do you remember? I'll get you a flashable zip with the boot image. Has anyone else run into this?

For the two of you who are having issues with the phone not turning on at all, what variant are you guys? Was your device and sw version correctly detected on the screen where you select cwm? The only thing freegee does is flash boot and recovery partitions, using the by-name nomenclature so there should be no way for you to run into an issue where the device won't turn back on. I'd like to get to the bottom of that, and see what is different about you guys.

For external sd card I'll see about getting that fixed and getting twrp up today.
[LG Optimus G Pro] airbillion:
I was using the att variant. It is completely dead. I left the battery out overnight and tried to turn it on this morning. ..no signs of life at all. I was updated to the value pack and had twpr installed....any ideas on how to fix? Or is it dead for good?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Shelnutt2:
What version of freegee did you install it with? 1.1.0? Or an older one? I've tested it again this morning with a different tester using the att value pack update and everything went over fine. I've double checked the code and there is no way anything but recovery or boot would be flashed. Everything is on my github so anyone can see, I really would like to know what is with you guys who are having this issue. I can only think for some reason google gave you an old version not 1.1.0? Did you get a warning about a jellybean sbl unlock, or did it ask you about if you want to disable lge security or not? Does your phone show as qhusb mode in device manager?
[LG Optimus G Pro] airbillion:
I downloaded lgfree from the link provided in the first post. I don't remember about it asking for a security unlock. I do remember that the app did download sbl1-3 and flashed them though along with the boot and recovery.

The phone shows no signs of life at all. No led when plugged in...no button combos will make it turn on at all....
[LG Optimus G Pro] apascual89:
Great work! Worked fine for me on the value pack update and I can actually see my external card.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mrfeuss:
I can confirm your theory that Google was giving out the 1.0.6 version. I just had an update to 1.1.0. Good thing I hadn't used the app, yet.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Shelnutt2:
Thank you for confirming that. I've put a warning in the OP. I also contacted google asking them if there is anyway to tell when a update is pushed worldwide since it seems app updates are staged to some degree. Which I did not know before.

To everyone:

YOU MUST USE FREEGEE 1.1.0 OR NEWER
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
I just checked and I used 1.0.6 and it worked... ???WTF it installed CWM And everything. I even did a backup. So should I update FreeGee and rerun?. :what:

When the f*ck did we get ice cream??
[LG Optimus G Pro] smaybe:
i used the 1.0.6 too and nothing broken
[LG Optimus G Pro] fryguy128:

[LG Optimus G Pro] lessthanzach:
I was on the Value Pack update. The information displayed about my phone on the screen but I didn't verify if it matched with what I actually had sw wise. Thanks for the offer on the flashable zip, but I wasn't able to get into recovery at all. I'll try again later after work. Just flashed back to stock because I'll need it for work :o
[LG Optimus G Pro] turilo:
Not to be a pain but you positive you used 1.0.6?
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
Absolutely positive. I just checked my version in the play store and then updated to 1.1.0 but haven't ran yet..

When the f*ck did we get ice cream??
[LG Optimus G Pro] Shelnutt2:
Have you rebooted since you ran freegee (if so you are fine. If not then do not reboot)? Did it say anythnig about sbls? I pushed an update this morning that is still 1.1.0, I was trying to figure out why some were on 1.0.6, so I repushed 1.1.0 to make sure google rolled the update to everyone. 1.0.6 will brick you, you probably were on 1.1.0 when you did it last night and just got the second 1.1.0 I pushed this morning.
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
Ok that makes sense.

An easier and much quicker way is to install Flashify and backup/restore the stock boot/recovery.

Ok....

so I used freegee app to flash twrp recovery on my wife's rooted LG g2 running android 4.4.2 . Freegee completed the process successfully, I rebooted into recovery and made a back-up. I then chose to reboot the device and it has been stuck on the LG boot screen for about a half hour now. I tried rebooting into recovery and restoring the back-up I made and no luck same outcome stuck on LG bootscreen.What have I done wrong can anyone help me to correct this issue as I'm not over familiar with LG devices Please and thanks in advance. .

sorry just noticed wrong thread

A bit confused

I can't see the option to "unlock" inside of Freegee app. What does this mean? FYI, I have an unbranded E-988 running 4.1.2 and SW version is E988 10b.

I can see an option to update a loki zip upon pressing menu, but honestly I can't say what it's for and therefore I am reluctant to proceed. Help is appreciated guys.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Shelnutt2:
You just select the recovery you want and Loki is handled automatically.
[LG Optimus G Pro] bogaggas:
Thank you mate. While I have your keen attention may I ask which recovery option is preferable if I wanted to flash and use Philz recovery; is this compatibility point that I am making valid?

And thanks a ton for the help and the magnificent tool.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ricco333:
Any recovery that you flash within FreeGee should be fine, after that you just simply reboot to recovery and start backing up or flash anything else you might want to.

[LG Optimus G Pro] HD2FORNICK:
So I rooted and then downloaded the freegee app and installed the TWRP recovery but it does not respond to touch. Any ideas what I can do? Thanks.

Pull the battery, turn on the phone (after inserting the battery of course), let the phone boot and run FreeGee again, this time select to install CWM and that's it, problem solved.

You might have had a problem when rooting your device. I'd suggest you try again to follow the steps strictly. Or you could try Towelroot new method (it seems easier). Then, install supersu. Only after that you try freegee.

[LG Optimus G Pro] Akhileshjj:
I was able to flash cwm on rooted E988 running on HK kitkat below waa the method followed.

1.Installed cwm using apk method.

2.Rebooted into recovery then went to reboot system. Said no to both of the prompts.

3.Once system restarted then went into freegee to install CWM.

4.4 Kit Kat

Is there any plans to have FreeGee work with 4.4 for the G Pro. Returning to stock seems to be a pin. LG Tools need a product key and those are no where to be found. I have everything I need to return back to JB to make this work except the proper LG tools.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Planet X:
For me it works on KitKat 4.4 Roms. I'm on Shinx 1.6 and it works as it should. Switched lot of times to CWM or TWRP. No problem at all.

Only the CWM 6.0.4.7 recovery is a bit old. I hope it will be upgaded once again.
[LG Optimus G Pro] kghayse:
I think he means Stock Kitkat for the E980 (AT&T G Pro.) Apparently, there was a change in the /aboot that makes the current iteration of FeeGee incompatible, which I can confirm has happened to me as well. Those of us on Stock ATT KitKat need an update for FreeGee to work, but in the meantime we can use the CWM apk that's floating around the forum for recovery purposes.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ixijimixi:
I just had to go through this whole fustercluck last night when I soft-bricked my E980. The apk he's looking for is GPRO_RECOVERY_6.0.4.4.APK. After I installed that, FreeGee worked fine, and allowed me to install their updated 6.0.4.7 CWM

Same for e980 at@t using the "G Pro KitKat Recovery" app, external sd won't mount, and honestly because of that I'm a little fearful of using the recovery to flash anything.

[LG Optimus G Pro] electrojas:
CWM apk or zip? Do you have a recovery now? Have you tried the GPRO recovery 6.0.4.4.apk ? I think that might be what you need.
[LG Optimus G Pro] cooki3monst3r77:
Something worked......

Firstly, Thank you for your time and the creation of this app!!! I used the GPRO KitKat recovery and it seemed to work, I rebooted and used FreeGee and it didn't give me an error and allowed me to install TWRP (so it seemed, haven't tried to boot to recovery yet). I don't see any options under FreeGee to unlock the device (S-OFF), I have update loki in zip (not sure what this is, new to the LG madness), reboot recovery, reboot bootloader, and shutdown. I thought that FreeGee was for S-Off? Loki, from what I have thus learned is how the bootloader talks to the hardware(?). I'm just trying to get S-Off on this thing....HTC made it much easier.... :/
[LG Optimus G Pro] electrojas:
I'm not sure about the s-off thing technically there is no boot loader unlock, this is a workaround for the boot loader. Now that this is installed you will get an error message on boot but don't worry that is totally normal on this device. If you read the error carefully it says success and then it moves on. Welcome aboard.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ixijimixi:
Glad to help. There are a lot of things to keep straight with these crazy contraptions. Just my luck I ran into a similar problem recently :D

[LG Optimus G Pro] abumy:
If coming from stock, busybox might help. Sometimes freegee has not worked for me until having it installed. I don't know what you need that apk for though? Perhaps you are trying it on kitkat. From jb the busybox helped, I don't know from kitkat however if the same...

Install old version of G. Pro Recovery 6.0.4.4 first, install their recovery, *then* install either of the Freegee recoveries. Do make sure to install one of the Freegee recoveries *after* using G Pro 6.0.4.4 though, or else errors while flashing ZIPs in recovery will steal your lunch money.

Or just use the new G Pro Recovery GK with TWRP 2.8, and never have to fudge with the picky needlessly-online-only Freegee mess again. :)
