I got the error when i try to boot into recovery, so can i say that i got the error because my bootloader isnt unlocked?
[LG Optimus G (International)] turvat1377:
Probably... No one tried your method so maybe its your mistake. Just do the freegee thing I suggest.
[LG Optimus G (International)] matthewsucks:
Ok thanks
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
Guys,is it so complicated?i mean,why do you like to complicate simple things?It's easy as hell...

1. Install the drivers

2. Root the phone following the tutorial here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38886073&postcount=1 It takes less than a minute.

3. Download FreeGee app from praystore and unlock the bootloader.Ignore warnings, as they are normal. You get a warning even when you install a keyboard,regargin private data. I think it's normal to get warnings when it comes to unlock bootloader,right?

This is the easiest way. If you are only rooted and not unlocked, there is no way you can install cwm. It will give you security errors and will not work.
[LG Optimus G (International)] MitoTakatori:
kimitza is right. At first I bricked my phone 10 times by figuring out how to install CWM or TWRP, because I tend to complicate the steps to do it. Then I followed the simpler ones, then now my LGOG is rooted, unlocked, with CWM and Avatar ROM 3.1!
[LG Optimus G (International)] turvat1377:
That's what I want to say... Just do the freegee thing. That's the simpliest :good:
[LG Optimus G (International)] MitoTakatori:
Very much right. :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] ka_putt:
I made It... Everything worked fine(my firmware is Europe open e97510d)...I am now on cm 10.1, cm 10.2 was to unstable to me...
[LG Optimus G (International)] turvat1377:
Congrats bro.. You made it.
[LG Optimus G (International)] MitoTakatori:
Nice one. Try also avatar 3.1, it's very good.:good:
[LG Optimus G (International)] kuwir:
Just question... is freegee will format my internal sdcard if iam install it??
[LG Optimus G (International)] vuvuxela:
i'm the new comer of e975 and now using stock 4.1.2 10d and very happy on that, smooth, stable and fast :good:

If i don't want to try custom roms, is it not necessary to unlock the BL? Or CWM is better than stock recovery?

Can I update to future official release via LG PC suite after I freegee and CWM?
[LG Optimus G (International)] hasan4791:
No it wont format.... Actually it unlocks ur bootloader and install the custom recovery....!!

---------- Post added at 05:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 AM ----------

Well.... The main purpose of freegee is to unlock the bootloader and to replace the stock recovery with custom one (CWM or TWRP).... Unlocking bootloader not ly allows yu to ve custom roms but also able to remove bloatwares frm the stock rom.... Also yu cant update ur firmware once its unlocked nd debloated.... If yu wann to do so, Yu need to relock the bootloader nd install all the bloatwares..... Hope this helps yu...
[LG Optimus G (International)] kuwir:
Are you sure... bcs i have many data games in my internal sd card. I dont want to lose it
[LG Optimus G (International)] hasan4791:
No man.... It wont..... It juz replaces the bootloader and recovery partitions......
[LG Optimus G (International)] vuvuxela:
For remove the bloatwares, i think root is enough, right?

Anyway, thanks!
[LG Optimus G (International)] hasan4791:
Nope.... If yu do so, yu ll get boot security error.... So unlocking bootloader is must.... :thumbup:
[LG Optimus G (International)] Svennjamin:
im in the process of rooting my OG and when i just installed freegee and was about to unlock i made the terrible mistake of reading the warning :D

so im thinking when i free my OG will it void my warranty for good or is there a way to make it back to stock ? as in "locked"
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
Yes,you can always return to stock,using kdz updater. This procedure will erase any trace and you will have a clean,factory original phone.

There are other ways,like restoring efs with freegee and unroot from supersu pro,but there are chances of getting errors,even a soft brick.so,the easiest and the safest way is to use kdz updater.

PS,that warning is normal.

[LG Optimus G (International)] Svennjamin:
Ok, how do i use or even get the kdz updater ?
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
Well, you should start reading more..it's only for your good :)..

I always write it here, but some just call me rude.. before modifiy anything on your phone,make sure you master the reverting procedure too...if all complainers here would do this,instead of rushing to mess up their phones,this section of Q&A would be much cleaner...

Crash course quide...

1. Download the drivers(if you don't have them already). http://www.lg.com/ro/suport-mobil/lg-LGE975

2. Download KDZ UPDATER http://www.mediafire.com/download/sj5y073xal03ntw/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.rar

3. Download the kdz file for your phone. you can find it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2093382

3.1. You can also download the kdz with this litle tool http://www.mediafire.com/download/cgeb6o5osy2yl9c/Original+LG+Firmware.rar . Just enter the model and IMEI there and it will download latest official rom for your phone,including the bloat from your operator.

4. Put phone in Download mode by turning it off, then press vol down+vol up at the same time and connect it to pc. Make sure you use rear usb ports if you are on a desktop. No usb hub,no front ports,not even a usb extension cable.

5.Open kdz updater, select the kdz file you previously downloaded and use these settings :

Type: 3GQCT

Phone Mode: CS_Emergency

Click on Software update button and wait for the procedure to be complete. Your phone will restart itself when IParam = 90 is displayed and proceed slower until you see IParam=1 again.

If the phone will be stucked at LG logo,don't panic. Just turn it off, press both vol up+vol down+power at the same time.The hard reset option will appear.Do it and will be ok. You will have a clean,factory phone,like you received it.Warning !!! This will erase EVERYTHING on your phone,including all files in /sdcard,so it's VERY IMPORTANT to backup your files first on pc. This step is like a lottery,sometimes i needed to do the hard reset,sometimes i didn't..But if you want a clean phone,let's say for warranty, the hard reset is mandatory.

This is it...it's simple, it's easy and it takes about 5 minutes..

Last phrase is available for those who read first,of course...

I did not create this procedure,all credits go to mr potatohead and other guys finding this first. I just made a resume. here is original thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010624

I skipped some steps,as i never encountered the situation of needing that.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Svennjamin:
thank you very much for your help workd like a charm :)

so my phone should now be completely stock, right ?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tripov:
I was also a little afraid to unlock this (my previous phone, Sony Arc S, also had a locked bootloader but Sony gave their users an official method to unlock it) but after reading this thread I've decided to go ahead and it all went smooth.

Now i'm in CWM doing a backup and thinking of a custom ROM to install, but I had to use Titanium Backup to get to the recovery (maybe I've done something wrong with Power + vol keys thing).

Thanks for all the info guys!
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
When you press vol down+power,the phone will enter fastboot mode. Press twice vol down and then press power. The phone will enter cwm:).

Help a newb

Hi gurus

I have already posted elsewhere, however seem the other thread has been asleep for more than 1 month, so I am asking the same here ...

I am a new Optimus G owner, with French operator SFR. My rom is the SFR one version E97510g

I am now granted superuser access. Will it be safe to use FreeGee to unlock the bootloader ? Which recovery between TWRP or CWM should I favor ? And what version (latest ? proposal are "TWRP 4.3.3.0" by default, but also "TWRP 2.5.0.0", "CWM 6.0.3.0" and "CWM 6.0.3.0 Touch")

I want to get rid of all SFR stuff so install a naked Rom by LG. After unlocking, do I just need to flash a firmware from lg-phone-firmware dot com website ? Shall I use KDZ updater at that stage or another method ? Any difference between EUROPE OPEN and FRENCK btw ?

Once done, will I be proposed latest stock Roms or can I use GooManager app for my updates ?

Actually, now I'm wondering if I can install a stock firmware without having unlocked the bootloader ? Is KDZ Updater the only requirement for that ??

Help appreciated here

Thanks all
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
Yes it's safe to use freegee. You will see the updates from sfr,but you won't be able to install them,because you are rooted.

The easiest way to return to stock is by kdz updater. It will erase any trace of rooting and unlocking. Very useful when you want a clean phone or you need warranty.

[LG Optimus G (International)] bobthedwarf:
Hello,

Thx for the reply

OK, FreeGee is safe for any version despite all warnings, I'll go for it

Which recovery shall I preferably install ? My choice only ? Non is better / easier / more compliant

I think that for my purpose KDZ Manager is not a requirement (don't wanna go back to a non-stock firmware when I'm done)

Hope all gonna be fine.

[LG Optimus G (International)] dreamkill3r:
which recovery do all of you recommend? :) I know that twrp has some problems,a lot of peaople recommend cwm,but I want to use cwm touch,what are your opinions on it?)
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
This error,like it's been stated a million times by now, it's caused by NOT UNLOCKING the boobloader. Again, not reading before sindrom strikes again. It's easy,it has always been easy :

1. root

2.unlock boobloader with freege(which also installs cwm recovery)

3.Rooted and unlocked phone,no broplems.

About recovery, CWM TOUCH all the way. Also philz,but i recommend cwm touch.

What ever happened to the version 1.5 promised by B&N?
[Nook Touch General] osowiecki:
What do you think happened?

They probably gave up on the idea.
[Nook Touch General] andbroe:
Hope not. :D
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
It was never promised by B&N. I was just a media rumor.
[Nook Touch General] bradpitcher:
It may not have been promised, but it was more than a rumor. They had promotional materials all ready to go.
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
Source? I'll I've seen is articles that all lead back to a Techcrunch photo of a "leaked memo" with no mention of promotional materials.
[Nook Touch General] bradpitcher:
I saw it here. I suppose it could be fake, but does that really happen?
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
That references the Techcrunch photo of a "leaked memo", not anything official that would be a "promise" from B&N nor any promotional materials. If you have ever worked for a big company you know that lots of ideas get floated around and taken to different stages of completion for discussion and approval. If the photo is real it could have been a draft someone prepared for a project proposal that never took off or got canned along the way. Or it could be fake. Some poeple do like to feed BS to the media. In any event there was no official B&N announcement therefore no promise to deliver any newer firmware by B&N.

Mark Twain said something like "If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed. If you do read the newspaper you are misinformed." It applies just as well to modern digital media outlets. Don't believe rumors published in the media.

[Nexus 4 General] furyoflight1029:
Got the Nexus 4 on release, so far it has been 8 months and never regreted buying it. Many people bash about the poor battery life of the N4, and praise about how awesome the note 2 battery is; it does makes me think twice about selling my N4 for a note 2. Before 4.3 I get a pretty decent SOT, on average about 4.5 hr. Sometimes it surprises me with SOT in the 6 hr range(attached pictures, before 4.3 update).

After updating to 4.3, like many other people, Ive experienced a battery improvement. Now on average, I get 5 hr + SOT. Im on stock everything, no custom roms or kernels. Another thing Ive noticed after the update is that the phone doesnt heat up as much, and it's this that I believe lead to battery improvement(less heat =more efficiency). This phone truly has a potential, and Im holding on to it, to see what it can do with the next update: Key Lime Pie.

PLEASE HIT THE THANKS BUTTON!!!

Intro:

Even though there a lot of articles on how to root most of them are not detailed and still many of you out there who have still not rooted your phone this guide will guide you.

I've gone through lots of articles on how to install CWM recovery , How to Root Canvas HD but almost all of them are not noob friendly and you just don't understand them. As a new user i myself took days to get acclimatized to rooting.........

This is a noob friendly guide to root and install CWM recovery both on 4.1 and 4.2 versions.Everyone can go through this!

Sources & Thanks.

1) Thanks to XDA i've taken a lot of resources from XDA.

2) Thanks to developer of motochopper.

3) Thanks to developer of mobile uncle tools.

4) Thanks to micromax for a beautiful device.

5) Taken help from google.

First what is rooting?

Rooting is a process allowing users of Smartphone’s, tablets, and other devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as “root access”) within Android’s subsystem. Basically rooting is performed to overcome the limitation that wireless service providers and hardware manufacture of android phone put on some devices. If your android mobile is rooted that means you are the SUPER USER on your android cell phone and you get ability to customize or replace system applications. This little word rooting provide you power to run specialized apps that require administrator-level permissions and perform another operation which are inaccessible to a normal android.

I think this should be more than enough and you would have already spent your time on this!! Hope so :p

Now what is CWM recovery?

All of the Android devices consign with a recovery assuage that is a basic partition on the device's internal memory and also can be booted into it. The stock recovery of almost all of the Android devices provide a few basic yet useful options that allow us to factory reset our device, clearly it is cache partitioning, and bring back its operating system using an official ROM in zip format, but that is the only thing you can do with it. This is the reason where a custom recovery becomes handy.

A custom Android recovery initially replaces all the stock recovery with the one that lets you to do all that you can with the stock recovery, plus a overabundance of options that give us a lot more control on the device. With a custom recovery, you can install official and unofficial ROMs as well as other updates also including hacks, themes, kernels.Using zip files, wipe not just user data but every standard partition on our device, ascend the storage card for USB mass storage access without leaving recovery, partition your SD card, wipe dalvik cache and battery status, fix the permissions, perform, manage and restore backups, and so on.

This is where CWM recovery comes in our aid!!

There is also another very popular recovery named TWRP which many developers still recommend but still a major drawback is that many ROM developers still prefer CWM so i say go with CWM!
[Micromax A116] G.Ashwinkumar:
Guide: How to Root + CWM Recovery, NOOB Friendly.( Method 1)

Verification:

Now you'll most probably see an app super user which almost confirms you've successfully rooted

but still if you have doubt download some app like root checker(free in playstore) to confirm whether you've successfully rooted or not.

How to unroot and replace stock recovery:

Requirements:

1) Rooted CHD.

2) Mobile uncle tools:

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....toolbox&hl=en

3) Stock recovery image:

Link: http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...9fc330101/530787d3/2/0/2/9/0/6/1/recovery.img

Replacing stock recovery:

1. Place the stock recovery image in the root of SD Card and rename it to recovery.img .

2. Now install Mobile uncle tools.

3. Now open MobileUncle and tap on Recovery Update, it will search the file by itself, you just have to select the file and confirm.

4. It will then ask whether you want to boot into recovery, if you want to confirm you can tap on yes otherwise its not required.

You've now successfully replaced stock recovery.

UNROOTING:

1.Open SuperSU and go to settings, scroll down to Full Unroot and tap on it. The process would be finished within 1 or 2 secs now you have a unrooted device.

Yes ready to be taken to customer care!!!!!!

Now your warranty is intact you can go to service center for any help from them.

Hey lets see how it goes... thanx for replying....

i have 2 questions for you ,

1) do i need back up my device i mean the stock rom or something? if yes then how ?

2) about the unrooting just in case if there is a goof up and i unroot it will it work properly ? as mostly micromax phones have a lot of problem and i am old user of micromax android phones so every now and then i have to run to the service center for one reason or the other. So warranty is there , i have read some where there are some clock timer issues on phones which enables the service center guys to differentiate the rooted phone ? is it true? kindly guide.

i m still going with the process you listed and will let you know how it goes for me.
[Micromax A116] nitin verma:
Thanks man..... ;)

And

what will happen after i click on recovery update....

Will it make a backup of current rom?

Please reply......:confused::confused:
