[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4nd0m14m:
Turn your lG-e617g into an LG-e610 then root it and install cyanogenmod.

this is my first tutorial so message me if something on here isnt clear.

step 1: download things, this is crucial, you need to download this stuff, it took me a while to find everything that ACTUALLY WORKED so i have it all in a nice little package to download.

step 2: make sure your phone is NOT plugged in the computer, install drivers if you do not have them. i have the drivers that worked for me in the package via direct download links. if they dont work for you somethings screwy with your computer and youll have to scour the internet to find drivers that'll work, google is your friend.

step 3: make sure your phone is recognised with your lappytop or computer. thats right i said lappytop, so sue me.

step 4:once all the drivers are installed and your phone is connected to the computer youll want to open up the folder labled: "LG FlashTool and Accessories" inside youll find "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" open that right up.

step 5: next youll see a modded lg tool made by some guy on the internet, im not sure who but he/she did a good job thanks man/wo-man!!

ok youll want to leave all settings to default dont touch any thing, its good to go as is.

step 6: make sure phone is plugged in and usb debugging is enabled, use the kdz updater to browse for this file (download it via links in the package) "V10D_downgrade.kdz" then click on "Launch software update" this takes a while go make a coffee.

step 7: when its done its magic, your phone will boot up and youll see the LG logo for about 10 minutes any longer and your in a boot loop remove battery put it back in and hold both volume buttons down and power at the same time. time it carefully the lights on the soft keys will come on and a split second later the phone will slightly vibrate, the second you feel that press the home and hold it for about 10 seconds and the phone will do a hard reset, the phone will turn on now and initiate the first time use wizard, its in russian at first so just change your language to whatever, assuming english here. the phones software is now rooted just no su/superuser installed download from play store and update binary in settings of su app.

step 8: Unlocking bootloader time! after you flashed the software using kdz updater your phones ID is now technically an e610 now instead of an e617g, so unlocking the bootloader is now possible, connect your phone to computer, turn usb debugging on and drag and drop "emmc_appsboot.bin" into the root of your INTERNAL SD, also kill 2 birds with one stone here by also copying the recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-e610.img you downloaded via links in the txt document to the same place just rename it "recovery.img to make it easier also make sure you place the cm rom in the external sd. we need the bootloader unlocked to allow for cwm installation and good ol' rom swapping, open the folder "ADB" hold shift right click any where in the folder and select open "command window here",

type in the cmd window obviously without quotations: "adb shell" hit enter, then type "su" enter again then type "dd if=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5" your bootloader is now unlocked, now type in "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17" this just installed clockwork mod. to boot into recovery and install cyanogen (the one im using. btw its a powerhouse compared to stock!!!) type in "reboot recovery"

step 9: factory reset, clear partition, wipe dalvik cache, install cyanogen, reboot, ENJOY.

this is the cyanogenmod rom.

http://199.91.154.102/r595o5bou5eg/bb2s0ohuj3jnflo/V10D_downgrade.kdz

this is the pre-rooted rom that allows su access to unlock bootloader this also

changes the phones id from e617g to e610, startup wizard is in russian at first simply change to english.

http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/c...981MAN38AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.8.1(0)_4.9.8.1.zip

this is recovery image for cwm

and youll have to google search everything i quoted thats missing sorry about this but you need: 1) LG FlashTool and Accessories.

2) some form of adb for an adb shell.

3)emmc_appsboot.bin specifically for e610

4)lg drivers for e610/e617g

5)recovery.img for clockwork for e610

6)lastly the V10D_downgrade.kdz
