[General Questions and Answers] hrairguitar:
so the kid always plays with our phones so i thought I'd get him a used Evo 4G on CL for his birthday. Well when i bought it from the guy he said it was rooted. I thought oh cool my Epic is rooted and i love it. I work for Sprint and have lots of phone savy guys around and they did mine.

Well this evo i bought for the kid has no google playstore. It just has the old market so if he types in "despicable me" then it wont come up with the same stuff that our phones come up with. This is very frustrating. I've googled and googled and tried to download apk links from the phone and keep getting parsing errors. The phone doesnt seem to want to sync with the PC for whatever reason (neither does mine anymore!) but I feel like there has to be a way to get this thing set up. The phone isnt active and is solely to be ran on WIFI.

Please tell me there is a way to get the new plays store on there

in phone info it says

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ang1dust:
Good Afternoon,

I am interested in getting the Nexus 5 which supposedly is being unveiled on August 7 and in stores October 20. Sadly im sure it wont go to verizon right away but i hope it doesnt take long. How is the software support for the 4?

I come from HTC Thunderbolt where the support lagged for years before finally releasing ICS in February of 2013, 1 month short of 2 years old. I am hoping the support for this phone and forum is high?

Thanks for replying...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhantomGamers:
The software support is what you would expect from Google... there haven't been many Android releases since the release of the Nexus 4 but it got the previous updates right away, and it's expected to be the same for the next few releases at LEAST.

However why do you think the Nexus 5 will be on Verizon at all seeing as the Nexus 4 isn't?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirgeExtinction:
1) Where did you get your info on when the Nexus 5 is released?

2) The Nexus 4 isn't on Verizon.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
verizon ruined their chances with the way they handled the galaxy nexus. no nexus should be treated like verizon treated the galaxy nexus :(

oh, and are you sure that you didnt mean motorola x, instead of the nexus 5??
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ang1dust:
Well the phone should have CDMA capabilities with the qualcomm 800 so i guess im hoping for it to come to verizon. They are saying the LG G2 is the Nexus 5. Its still not confirmed but it looks pretty. I guess we get to know more on August 7th.

Moto X is just an Iphone competitor phone. I dont want that. Qualcomm 800 is what i have been holding out for. Sad none of the new droids got it, the x wont have it so my next phone will be between the Note 3 (kinda big but i can deal with it), HTC T6 (i wont get it i just thought id mention) or LG G2 (possibly known to be the Nexus 5). Any thoughts?

Btw this post was originally just to find out ROM support but i like the additional feedback! :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Nexus and Google Edition device dont get CDMA support due to the closed sourced telephone files. There have been no positive rumors of even a new nexus coming this year at all. If there was it would have most likely been released today with the new nexus tablet.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ang1dust:
LG G2 UNCONFIRMED CONFIRMED COMING TO VERIZON yay!

Well if the nexus thing is true then its no big deal. The phone seems to have all the core specs im looking fore. Upon release we will find out if the other specs meet or exceed expectations! :D

2700mah+ (possibly removable)

sd card slot

nice speaker

LTE A support!

Im so excited i need to change my pants!

EDIT: So i guess i should ask the Optimus G forum instead since it looks like it wont be a nexus device
[LG Optimus G Pro] Shelnutt2:
​

First off none of this would be possible without [MENTION=4229979]djrbliss[/MENTION]

The Freegee app now includes support for the LG Optimus G Pro. While the bootloader is not unlocked per-say we do have a working exploit in loki thanks to drjbliss's work. I've take loki and reworked it into cwm (twrp support coming soon). This means that rom devs and kernel makers no longer have to "lokify" their images, it's done after flashing in recovery. Freegee also offers the possibility to disable lge security (wallpaper) on the stock rom.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ricco333:
Oh ****!!! Thank you, thank you. I'm purchasing the donate version right now.

Did I mention thank you very much.

Erik
[LG Optimus G Pro] turilo:
I purchased the Donate version because great Devs deserve the great support! Thanks for your work Shelnutt!! :D:thumbup:
[LG Optimus G Pro] smaybe:
Took the donate version thank you guys
[LG Optimus G Pro] mrfeuss:
First off, thank you so much! I've purchased the donation version.

Second, am I to understand that this app installs a version of CWM that automatically adds Loki to the ROM?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Gotroot:
Nice work seen this coming ;)
[LG Optimus G Pro] kingpin32:
If I already have TWRP installed, will cwm replace it when I use the unlock tool.
[LG Optimus G Pro] martinezma99:
Purchased the donate version. Thank you!
[LG Optimus G Pro] smaybe:
i've upload the boot image of F240L10V because it seems not supported yet
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
I was wondering the same thing. :confused:

When the f*ck did we get ice cream??
[LG Optimus G Pro] turilo:
Yes cwm will replace twrp, until shelnutt2 works on the twrp recovery
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jammol:
So technically this is just an easier way to install a loki-fied recovery?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Shelnutt2:
Yes and no. Its more than just a recovery that's flashable, see my answer below.

That is correct. After you install a zip or use side load the boot and recovery partitions are checked and then lokified if needed automatically. So a kernel maker no longer needs to release desperate downloads just due to Loki. You can disable the check for Loki in the advanced options menu but there really is no need to unless a new unlocked boot loader is brought up.
[LG Optimus G Pro] lessthanzach:
Ruh roh. I downloaded this. Backed up my EFS (wasn't sure if that was necessary or not though I imagine that's where the IMEI is stored in case that is somehow wiped), the clicked unlock. It downloaded some files and installed CWM and said everything was successful. Now when I reboot I get "Secure booting failed. Cause: Device Unlocked" or something. It then flashes the LG logo again and then the AT&T animation plays and the Home LED button flashes forever. It will not boot and I can't use any button combo to get to recovery. What did I do wrong and do I have to LGNPST back to stock again?

I was rooted and nothing else. No custom recovery. Also, I chose to disable LGE Security when prompted? Any ideas?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Ryukou:
Purchased the donate version. Thank you, so much!! :good:
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
Question I currently have TWRP installed what if any would be the advantages of using FreeGee?

When the f*ck did we get ice cream??
[LG Optimus G Pro] airbillion:
I installed this and tried to reboot into recovery to make a backup....the phone will not turn on...it seems completely dead! Any ideas? I plug it into charge...no light at all...pulled battery too...still nothing! Could it be hard bricked?
[LG Optimus G Pro] lessthanzach:
I just posted about this right before you. Best bet is to wait until [MENTION=2413393]Shelnutt2[/MENTION] gets back online. Unless of course you'd rather just LGNPST back to stock. Myself, I'd rather try to fix it first since I literally just set my phone back up after a softbrick just about 2 weeks ago.

Edit: Flashed to stock with flash tools. Oh well, I'm used to it by now, haha. I probably messed up by trying to 2 button into recovery. I read a few comments now about using a program to boot to recovery. I don't know if 2 keying into recovery trips some sort of flag that causes it to not boot correctly. If that is the case, then let this comment server as a warning to others.

Thanks for the program anyways.
[LG Optimus G Pro] rob219:
awesome job on making this app, but im gonna hold off on trying it for now. im on at&t but seeing alot of people talking about how they bricked, plus i just sold my laptop so right now aint nobody got time for that. but i will do it soon. cant waite for a way to get the second init recovery off here without flashing back to stock and to boot twrp with a button combo. still a great phone and i see awesome stuff coming to it soon....
[LG Optimus G Pro] turilo:
Very strange how this is messing up some phones, when I was testing for shelnutt2 everything went fine on my phone. I did the security unlock as well and I seen it flashing with success and rebooted fine. Is anyone using this getting the phone to boot up normally?
[LG Optimus G Pro] cwis:
I soft bricked my e980. It gets stuck at the att/boot loader success part and won't move. The att globe just keeps spinning. Will the paid version help me restore the image?
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
No difference in the versions. The paid version is just to show support.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Chronoswing:
Just successfully "unlocked" with freegee, only issue is I can't boot into recovery, holding volume up, or down, or hell both does nothing during boot. Am I missing something, or is there a different method for booting into recovery on the og pro?
[LG Optimus G Pro] 11fabe:
Hold volume up+power button +home button. ..

Until you see an unlock letters at the left upper corner

[LG Optimus G Pro] Chronoswing:
Ah thanks, so used to my motorola phones which was just hold volume up.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
You will need to flash back to stock.
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
I have TWRP 2.6.1 installed and want to switch back to CWM so that I can install my original stock backup done with CWM (from Freegee).

I reran Freegee and get "sorry your variant is not currently supported". And I can't upload image.

I am on Carbon, using E980.

Suggestions?

I would post a screenshot but it says I don't have permission to post attachments to the forum.

Edit: Decided to start all over from Stock.
[LG Optimus G Pro] rambo8987:
If I go back to stock using the kdz. File for at&t, can I still 're root?
[LG Optimus G Pro] ransagy:
Just grabbed the donate version and tried to remove LGE Security/flash CWM my new E989, which worked well at the app level, but booting gives the LGE "secure booting error" issue. I'll try reflashing with LG's tool, i guess. Let me know what i can do to help speed this up.
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
Read post #86.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ransagy:
Ok. He says he can get to CWM and continue normally, i can't. Any attempt to boot the device in any way gives me the LGE secure error screen.
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
So first time you go into recovery it just shows the security error? When that happened did you try to boot into recovery again? First time I used fresher and flashed using twrp option, I had to do that. Same might apply to CWM.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ransagy:
Yeah, Pulled battery out and tried again, same thing. Had to reflash from the original E989 Israeli KDZ, booted up fine now. Rerooted and waiting with freegee donate version to see what Shelnutt2 will say.
[LG Optimus G Pro] foryou2keep:
We have the same sentiments.. im also using F240k version and from Feiyu rom. I seem to cant install freegee cwm version.. freegee already got my image uploaded. Hope we can get the help needed.

This id what we have from the general section. Hope Freegee dfv can take a look at my image. Thanks.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ransagy:
I stayed around in the irc channel and shelnutt2 got it fixed. Id try again and see.
[LG Optimus G Pro] cynosure4sure:
I have a F240K and i installed cwm using freegee a month ago....boot.img failed to download at first but switching from wifi to data solved, connection problem i guess and it works no problem......maybe try again
[LG Optimus G Pro] releva:
One big question.

I'm using E988 firmware E98810a JZ054k build no. After i've rooted and installed freegee. I clicked on unlock, yes to disable lg security and proceeded to flash cwm 6.0.3.7. It didn't work the first time. But it worked on the 2nd try. I got a yay message. After that, i power off and restarted my phone. But upon starting up, i get this "secure booting error boot certification verify" and it just hangs there. Question. Is this supposed to be normal? I can get into cwm recovery mode by taking out the battery, putting back in and press pwr + vol up + home btn. But my original software doesn't work. I remembered cwm used to work fine after installation back in the froyo days... Am i supposed to download a custom firmware zip and flash it in cwm in order for it to work?

The same thing happened when i click NO to disable lg security. But this time, it says my phone wasn't supported. I tried to install a 2nd time and it works. Then i get the boot certification message upon rebooting again.
[LG Optimus G Pro] releva:
There's a new Fix breakage caused by new LG pattern over at djrbliss/loki github. Is this the fix for our new E988s Shelnutt2?
[LG Optimus G Pro] pallcsa:
Can anybody confirm if FreeGee works on E986 ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] manhktqd:
I've install FeeGee and unlock my E988 version 10a but FeeGee said: not supported my phone and it's upload my boot.
[LG Optimus G Pro] trungctu:
It seem that I do correct instruction but I can not enter CWM by press any hard key when booting.

Do we have any command with fastboot as HTC?
[LG Optimus G Pro] shsh_ustc:
what should i do if i ota by mistake?

sorry that i didn't see the warning about ota.

I attempt to ota after installing CWM recovery. Then the phone will always boot to cwm recovery.

Try do recover from CWM backup but doesn't help.

What should I do to boot the phone again? Can I install the stock recovery in the CWM recovery?

In fact I have another issue that my CWM recovery cannot mount the internal SD card to computer. I guess an external SD card may help...:(

Thanks for help.

[LG Optimus G Pro] mangesh hotkar:
after installing whenever i trying to boot in recovery mode phone shows the secure booting error......
[LG Optimus G Pro] shingers5:
Thats normal as it boots into recovery or rom so its ok. Not ok if it hangs there. Remember you chose lge security off so that message confirms its worked. Secure booting is disabled. I had same when used previously and all still worked.

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

Anyone? Need help as cant get past md5sum mismatch error

PS

Flashed V10c and all is well again. seems doesnt like V10d firmware

[LG Optimus G Pro] wilee1928:
I've been having problems to install cwm, I've used the app before with no issues, but I was forced restore via flash tool. And since Saturday I can't install cwm because my device is "not supported".

I uploaded my boot image about 3 times now but still get the error to download cwm.

I'm using an at&t g pro with Panama software (980h).

Any advice?
[LG Optimus G Pro] mog44net:
Restore to stock to use Freegee, I haven't been able to get it to work when off stock, thats reason #4532 that I made a twrp backup of stock before flashing anything.
[LG Optimus G Pro] wilee1928:
i'll try that, weird thing is i've used this software version before (Panama e980h) and still been able to use FreeGee app with no issues.

Thanks.
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
That is strange, because I've heard that the Panama ROM was a good choice. I wish the tools for this device were updated more regularly.

From what I'm reading, many problems with recovery, etc.
[LG Optimus G Pro] shingers5:
And 1

I flashed hk v10d on my e988 twn model and tool wouldn't work. Had to flash v10b twn to get it working.
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
The Panama 980H ROM is v10a

Why does it not work?

This is really distressing.
[LG Optimus G Pro] wilee1928:
I had to flash CWM via adb. :-\

weird it was stuck on boot loop and tried a hard reset using the buttons and it recovered but I lost all my data. Oh well, at least I have a working phone, rooted with TWRP. Only proble is TWRP not responding to touches. Will updating to latest TWRP version resolve this? Or is it an LG thing?

Thanks
[LG Optimus G Pro] adizzle23:
What ROM do u have installed? The problem is the twrp, but the fix for it depends on what ROM u r running.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dray:
Stock. Unlocked with FreeGee. Trying to load a custom ROM but TWRP not playing nice
[LG Optimus G Pro] adizzle23:
OK just use the twrp app from the play store. It should let u do it that way. But what ROM are u gonna flash? U will probably need the hacked twrp from [MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION].
[LG Optimus G Pro] dray:
Would like to try CM. How would I flash Madmacks TWRP?
[LG Optimus G Pro] adizzle23:
OK if your gonna flash cm10.2 then first download that twrp app thats on the play store. I'm gonna post a link to the hacked twrp and u flash that with the twrp app. Then u will have to download cm 10.2 and flash it and gapps through the twrp app. Then u should b good to go and your regular twrp recovery should work after u flash cm.

[LG Optimus G Pro] lg-user45:
is it normal, that having unlocked bootloader with Freegee i still can enter download mode by pressing both volume controls and conecting on pc via usb?

I thought this wouldn'd be possible more on an unlocked bootloader.
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
Download mode doesn't have anything to do with the bootloader.

You should also know that bootloader isn't unlocked. The Loki exploit simply allows the locked bootloader to be bypassed to a degree, but that's it. Still locked.

Having Download mode accessible is crucial, btw. Without it, you won't be able to flash back to stock for any reason.
[LG Optimus G Pro] lg-user45:

Yeah, it works.

Wondering why it won't works on Vanir Rom.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Shelnutt2:
I know a lot of you guys have been waiting patiently. I've been in the process of rewriting freegee, and then the server uploads where hosted on was taken offline. I've got a new build which is stable enough for use, but not quote ready for the play store. You guys can download my latest beta from here:

http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/freegee/FreeGee.apk

Please report any issue to me, but this should allow you to install cwm and or disable lge security. TWRP support will come soon (I just need to build all the images).
[LG Optimus G Pro] concaopp:
Sir have you included optimus gk in your lastest build?

not working on e980 right now, getting error 127(and there is no button for unlock)
[LG Optimus G Pro] Shelnutt2:
Can you get a logcat and post it?

And there is no unlocking because there never was, this device uses loki to install custom recoveries or boot images.
[LG Optimus G Pro] AznDud333:
not sure how to get a logcat

but i uninstalled the google play version and used the apk you posted in the last page and that worked perfectly

will buy donation version next week :D
[LG Optimus G Pro] bvzxa3:
The one that you had before the 12/02 update worked fine. The one form the play store won't work. The beta posted a page back puts me in an endless bootloop. Can we get the older version because that one worked fine. Well at least I'm rooted for now.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Shelnutt2:
The old version will always be available here: https://github.com/Shelnutt2/FreeGee-app/blob/rewrite/FreeGee/bin/FreeGee.apk . I'm not updating devices for it anymore though.

I just pushes a new 1.9.5 apk to the play store which should fix the issue you guys where experiencing.
