So what does disabling lg security do? I think I have an idea but I'm not positive

Sent from the Professional Optimus..
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jammol:
You can delete almost anything from system/apps without permanent brick.
[LG Optimus G Pro] xenine:
what exactly does this freegee do?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jammol:
Its installs one of two recoveries to your phone that are Loki based. It also helps back up the efs partitions of this phone and the lg optimus g.
[LG Optimus G Pro] xenine:
do u need freegee to install CWM recovery. or can u install it without it?

whats an ef partition and why is it important?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jammol:
No, freegee is just an easier way to install the recoveries. There a thread below this one for installing cwm and twrp standalone.

Efs are partitions that lg and google uses on the lgog and nexus 4 and this phome. I'm not sure if its on all phones though. Each partition has a different function for data that it stores. Or at least that what my understanding of what they do from when I owned an LGOG.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jesi.james:
If I remember right, efs partitions are where your phone's imei number is stored. You lose that, you lose your signal functionality.

No, you don't exactly need freegee to install cwm but its recommended because freegee installs a custom version of cwm for our phones so that anything we flash with it won't require a special tag to use the bootloader bypass route. In other words, the zips you flash with this custom cwm don't need to be special tailored to our phones because the freegee version of cwm adds the tag that can bypass the bootloader if its needed. Regular old cwm can't add that tag to the zip.

[LG Optimus G Pro] mrfeuss:
Your question belongs in the Q&A section-not the development section. Additionally, there is no connection between FreeGee and your request for a modified dialer. There is a decorum that should be upheld in a community such as this. Clearly you have not learned this nor do you have any consideration for anyone else who uses this site.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jammol:
Oh that guy, he never learns. Last time we had a bout he went as far as calling me gay. Lol. I wish xda could ip ban.

Anyways..... I have notice that one of the partitions that freegee says it backs up, doesn't actually get backed up? I count 6 during the process yet my finder only shows 4. I'm going to delete and retry. I remember on the lgog it showed all that it's backs up, could this be different?
[LG Optimus G Pro] xenine:
wat are u talking abt? i never asked if freegee is associated with modding a dialer.. tweak ur reading skills next time before u accuse someone of something they never said.

this forum follows rules for respect.. if u dont follow or cant understand these rules then u dont belong here.

this is that troll who got banned for trolling and dissing others on xda. then he returned under a different account name, which is breaking forum rules.. ha ha.. he never learns.. hes got nothing else better to do with his life. mods, please ban this troll again.. this time permanently! thanks!

ahhh.. u made it clearer now.. im planning on getting the OGP very soon. and want to get ready to mod it when it arrives. thanks for explaining it to me.

TWRP Updates

Question: When a newer version of TWRP comes out, will Freegee update it automatically or do we need to manually check?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Shelnutt2:
No you'll have to manually flash the new twrp ones once I add support
[LG Optimus G Pro] idb117:
Does freegee app flash hk's kernel? I haven't any kernel, I'm just stock rooted.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Us3Less:
Tried using CWM and TWRP , went into bootloop for each of the recoveries used . Currently on stock rooted E98810a software with kernel version of 3.4.0 . Even tried the manual method but failed as well . Doesn't go pass the LG logo upon booting up with no message of any error . Any suggestions ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jammol:
If you are on value pack update, yes. Its so that those on value pack update don't have issues in twrp with the touch screen.
[LG Optimus G Pro] idb117:
Oh... OK, that's cool, I was just curious.

Your boot.img signature seemed incompatible with one provided by FreeGEE. Reflash your phone with LG's Flashtool. Download your device specific factory image from here, Search for lg flash tool through this forum. Install all required drivers. And flash the rom. In case of bootloops after restore do a factory reset.

Here is good tutorial for ye to work with flash tool.

For E988 guys I need someoen to dump me their aboot image.
[LG Optimus G Pro] adanoss:

Theese are backups from E988 10a_CIS (Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan...) it is shown in freegee as "geefhd_open_cis"

I didn't try to remove lge security so i can't say if it works for this version.

P.S. My G Pro seems to originate from taiwan (not official russian version) though i sucessfully flashed it with CIS version through flashtool.

Some pics just to clarify where theese imgs originate from.
[LG Optimus G Pro] adanoss:
Just compared my boot.img backup and hwooei's one, their md5's differs. Seems every single version of E988 need special "unlocked' boot.img... Their name is Legion))

errrrmmmm... i'm somewhat disoriented... is there something called "aboot.img" which differs from "boot.img" afaik boot.img is kernel itself. is this "aboot.img" a kind of bootloader image? how am i supposed to dump it?

Well i did this in terminal

su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/storage/external_SD/aboot_stock.img

[LG Optimus G Pro] RaiderDuck:
1) No. It installs the recovery itself. It's quite easy and convenient, I might add. You've just gotta have your phone rooted first.

2) You can choose from CWM or TWRP.

3) I don't know the technical ins and outs, but "Loki" is the name of the workaround that allows us to install a functioning recovery partition without messing up LG's MASSIVELY locked-down bootloader.

Hey shelnutt, I can't get freegee to recognize my e980 on cm10.2, even after changing the device name back to stock. Is this just on me or is that the correct behavior until the device list gets updated to support the cm10.2 bootimg?

You can't use freegee on any CM build. You'll have to adb to get cwm on there. Or you can twrp manager in the play store.
[LG Optimus G Pro] nintennuendo:
I flashed the Telcel tot to fix a softbrick and the Freegee app says it is unrecognized. I am trying to download the USA version which would bring me back to stock but I'm without my personal internet and it is taking hours. Is there any way to work around this with the simple, easy Freegee version?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Shelnutt2:
I white listed cm, and updated twrp to 2.6.1.0 which uses the new cm-10.2 kernel. CWM was also updated to 6.0.3.7.

And as for people with devices not supported due to different aboot version, as soon as I have time I'll open them up and see about adding loki support, its just a matter of finding the offset.

The other option if someone is willing to soft brick, is you could flash the att aboot image and see if it boots or not. I'm not sure if they are all signed with the same keys or not, haven't looked, cause the more proper solution is to just get the address for loki.

[LG Optimus G Pro] nintennuendo:
You need to flash a custom recovery, either CWM or TWRP. The OG Pro has issues with the locked bootloader so the recovery has to be Loki-friendly or whatever that means. TWRP apparently has some touch issues. Once you get the recovery installed you need to wipe the system and data partitions. Then you install the custom rom, and wipe again, just for fun. Then you flash the gapps.

These are the steps as I understand them. I apparently am missing some because when I tried this I softbricked my phone and had to restore a UK image to fix it, now I can't flash a recovery.
[LG Optimus G Pro] trooper1414:
yea i am hoping someone can point me to the exact directions ...so i dont end up soft bricking or bricking my phone at all
[LG Optimus G Pro] nintennuendo:
You and me both! I've only had the HTC Evo 4G and the Galaxy Nexus so there were always a thousand guides to follow, often conflicting.

Edit: Hey, I'm on CM 10.2 with Google apps and booting w/ recovery and root and all. I don't know what I did right and wrong, but I'll try to help you with my steps and links. Here we go!

After installing TWRP recovery and trying to flash CM 10.1 and softbricking it, I used this link (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2420219) to restore my US AT&T LG Optimus G Pro e980 to a factory image of UK Telcel. I then used this link (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2284298) to install 2nd-init CWM Recovery, which I used to install this TWRP recovery (http://downloads.codefi.re/madmack/GPRO/CM10_2/TWRP/TWRP-2.6.1.0-E980-LOKIFIED.zip) from this link (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2430456). I then followed those steps. I am sure that I used a backwards, convoluted process for doing this but it worked for me.

Did you root your phone again? Remember that when you restored to the original image, all root permissions were lost.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

Follow the rooting instructions in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2276652

Go to the Google Play Store and install FreeGee.

Run FreeGee, click Unlock my Phone and install either TWRP or CWM (whichever you prefer).

Download and copy the ZIP files for the ROM, the Gapps, and the modem (if necessary) onto your SD card.

Reboot into Recovery. The Recovery partition you installed up above is "2nd-init," which means it takes a little more doing to get to it. My preferred method is to install GooManager from the Play Store, run it, and select Reboot Recovery.

Wipe Data, System, Cache and Dalvik.

Flash the ROM, Gapps and modem (if necessary).

After flashing those three things, wipe the Data, Cache and Dalvik again (DON'T wipe the System this time).

Reboot.

Wait a few minutes.

PROFIT! (or something)

Hey guys and gals

Okay so there are these two features that I have yet to see in any other ROM. I have only seen it in supernova.

And the flashaholic me is kicking in so I want to try another ROM. But I like these two features so it would be nice if my next ROM could have these two.

Okay so first one is a ram bar when you press the recents button. So when you press the recents button on the top there is a ram bar.

The second one is this nifty little feature on the status bar. Its showing how KB/s your WiFi is.

I find it pretty useful. So do you guys know any other Roms that support this feature?

Hi..

Firstly, let me say there's a bucket load of info in these forums

But on browsing, it seems there's an assumed level of knowledge on upgrading devices and I have no idea where to start.

I'm in Indonesia, have an XDA II, device info:

ROM: 1.52.00WWE

ROM DATE: 10/23/03

RADIO: 1.05.14

PROTOCOL: 1337.14

EXTROM: 1.52.82

I'd like to upgrade to the latest Windows Mobile 2003 SE but have no clue as to where to get the software, and what steps I need to take.

There's probably a guide or something somewhere here but I'm having troubles finding it and was wondering if there's a place for newbies to XDA modifications to go to try and learn what's involved.

Hoping someone could please assist me.
