[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
I don't see how. I have tried on two new SSD drives, freshly formatted, and installs of W7 and W8.

Never seen an issue like this with any other files being corrupted on downlaod, and I routinely download large files over 2GB for my job, just using my browser, so I'm really stumped by it.

Any chance you could zip a copy of the Claro ROM with an md5 checksum?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
I don't really do MD5 stuff. Right now I'm not at home and don't have the connection for it . It would take several hours to download and a week to upload here lol. At home it's like 5 seconds lol
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
I see, well, I keep trying, and I'll report back.

Not sure what to do next, because I really think that the modem is what's not letting my data throttle properly. I can switch manually between 2G/3G, but 3G is ONLY H and no H+ (fastest we have here.)
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Are you looking under status? Cause I never seen H show up unless I done a certain build prop. Just cause your status bar says H doesn't mean your not on H+... Go to about phone and status. What does it say under network type?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Never go by signal indicators in this case... I can make it say 3G instead of H or 4G instead of ltE so those data icons at the top are kind of pointless to know what your actually on
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
Sorry, I'm talking about CyanogenMod.

I am running it on all my devices, and on my S4 and S3, H+ and H and 3G are displayed properly according to the actual data speed, and the devices throttle up and down to idle as needed.

On the LG OG Pro, it stays at H all the time, never goes up or down. I can manually switch to 2G/3G, but the only 3G speed I get is HSPA,(according to the net stats and icon H) not HSPA+ (H+).

I'm only asking because I wanted to know if you knew if it was possible to extract modems from kdz files properly and zip them for CWM, like what's possible on other devices.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Please check under about phone and status and let me know what it says... Mine never showed H+ on cm mod either but I was on H+. Check there and post what it says
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Also flashing a modem won't do anything, when you flash cm it doesn't flash a modem. It just uses what you had before. So you don't need or have to touch the modem part.
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
Says HSPA

On all my other devices, S3, S4, etc. CM reads HSPA+ and shows H+ icon in status bar as well.

That's why I was confused and I assumed it was modem related, so since extraction from kdz doesn't seem possible, my plan was to flash Panama 980H to get the baseband and either stick with that stock ROM rooted, or go back to CM keeping the Panama baseband, which I assumed would fix it.

Maybe I'm wrong, and it won't work, but the odd thing is that all my other devices not only show H+ but they also throttle down to H, 3G, etc. when idle. The LG doesn't.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Check one more thing. There is a setting in CM somewhere where you can actually turn HSPA+ on or off . It's under settings and one of the cm mod settings I haven't used it in awhile
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
Mine looks like this, with the last option checked. We don't have true LTE here.

Preferred network mode

LTE/WCDMA

LTE/GSM/WCDMA

GSM/WCDMA preferred (x)

Is there a way to use this and flash back to stock att
[LG Optimus G Pro] kevace1:
What exactly do you mean by this step? this download is just a zip file, and when unzipped, you just get a folder titled Flashtool 1.x.x.......but you later on mention a step to unzip this file and preceed with the flashing process?? i just want to make sure im not missing something....
[LG Optimus G Pro] khaledbebo9:
Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaan't thank you enough man, I was getting hopeless and the device isn't official in my country and I spent all my earnings on it, so I was getting really in a baaaaaaaaaaaaaad mooood, am happyyyy now and praying to god for you, for he may bless you with happiness :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
Just flashed the Panama Rom on my e980,Rooted, removed the little bloat that was present, way way less then the ATT stock Rom. oh and another plus no carrier IQ found...yayy..so far so good.
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
Can you do me a favor, please? Can you extract the modem/baseband to the Panama ROM using FreeGee (I think it has that option) and post it?

I am using Claro Panama, and I'd like to see if the specific modem/baseband gives me better signal than the AT&T modem.
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
I'm only getting 3g and H+ at the moment I'm currently trying to get LTE back...

Q freegee says it can't disable LG security. But still gives the option to install custom recovery... can I install CWM with freegee and flash my ATT modem to get my LTE back. Or will it bootloop????
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
It should work, but I'd say most importantly make sure you have a backup of your EFS.
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
Got an EFs backup on my pc and sd card. Well I installed CWM on the Panama rom with freegee and have flashed the ATT modem but still no LTE.. gonna try another modem.then report back.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and scroll down and select wcdma/gsm/lte. This has been said a few times in the thread for the panama rom.. Flashing modems is not going to help as the modem for both are identicle
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
To late I got flash happy and had to restore a stock CWM backup...lol..will try a fresh Panama install tommarow and see if I can get LTE working....:thumbup:

Is it gonna be sim-locked?

Hi, I have f240k, and it's already installed feiyu_v10, so everything works fine. But, just in case, there's an update for kitkat 4.4, i certainly need to return back to stock right?

IF, i do that, will my phone be sim-locked??
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Yes you would need to return back to stock... And once the phone is unlocked it can be locked again. Same goes with any other phone
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
It works but doesn't stick for long after about 30 minutes it reverts back to H+

Any idea on how to make it stick. ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
Scratch what I said in my last post,, I got LTE to stick.. by selecting LTE/CDMA.

Speeds good. No CIQ suck it AT$T......Battery life is great... better then AT$T stock hands down. I've been on my phone very heavy this morning took it of the charger at 4:30AM it's almost 10AM now. I have just under 80%battery left and that's with over 2 hours of on screen time...:thumbup:
[LG Optimus G Pro] kevace1:
Just wanted to say this method worked on my G pro finally, used that old XP laptop I mentioned on earlier posts and downloaded everything fresh from the provided links in the OP.

But unfortunately, the problem still persists, my phone all if sudden will not read any SIM.....looks like I'm gonna have to change the SIM/SD card readers, it's a one piece little board......damn it...:banghead:
[LG Optimus G Pro] kevace1:
Figured I'd share this little interesting contradiction with you guys....I successfully flashed to the Panama e980h Rom everyone raves about, and now check out the icons I have for data at the top bar: shows the H+ with the gay AT&T "4G" under it as well.....anyone else experienced this?
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
Did you do a full wipe after the flash? I'm going to guess not.
[LG Optimus G Pro] tr.supradeep:
Unsuccessful

I tried this method with the E988 kdz file, it always stops at battery not full error, i have charged it the whole day and even checked with multimeter. but it doesnt get past that
[LG Optimus G Pro] aatish:
Hi guys,

its a very long thread and I am sorry if i didn't read it all!

first of all thank you the creator did a good job!

secondly i have flashed couple of rom on my korean 240L cell phone.

Telcel didn't work! screen orientation was wrong. It didn't pickup the sim signal anyways.

I installed Panama E980H same sim signal didn't work! I tried to change to different radio option like LTE/GSM/WDCM etc didn't work.

I think i was doing something wrong I selected the option waited for sim signal but didn't work.

I then downloaded indian rom i have flashed it and now and not letting me in. Saying i need to enter storage encryption code? what the heck is that ? :D

I am from Pakistan btw.

if someone know how I can get signal on Panama that would be great! thanks

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

Okay I have fixed that storage encryption issue by factory reseting my phone. Still no signal! :(
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
You need to flash the correct modem for your device. Without it, you won't get signal.
[LG Optimus G Pro] kevace1:
I personally did not expect it to be necessary, as the flash resets everything, even the SD card partition.....but I guess it won't hurt to try.....
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
Well, this sort of issue you described is exactly what one would expect if there were conflicting resource files, etc.

A wipe will get rid of the old junk and fix it, I'll bet.
[LG Optimus G Pro] aatish:
I have tried flashing correct modem that is "F240L-V10-Baseband.zip" but now its not booting up! any suggestions?

WAIT between steps is all it has to take for me now to return to stock

The 1st few times I did the return to stock I followed all the instructions, hit and miss as it took many times. Then I started (have tried all the 4.3's roms) trying different ways and NOW....

I just connect without the date change nor the blocking internet and works much easier, however, a small step....

WAIT between steps is all it has to take for me now to return to stock

1. Put phone into download mode

2. Then start LG_FlashTool

3. Make sure phone usb port is 41 (sometimes I have to reset it back to 41 as it goes back)

4. Press start arrow, WAIT a few mins gets all the 'junk' info

5. Unplug phone, WAIT a few secs, plug back in WAIT a min if it does not start repeat (WITH THE WAITING) until it starts (sometimes twice and sometimes 5 times for me as timing is everything).

6. It will stop updating once phone screen shows to start signup (at about 85%), once pass the first few screens WAIT the tools stops at about 95%, just unplug (states it failed, yet it phone is at STOCK, go figure...

I have never been able to get the phone to "HEAR" phone calls on any 4.3 (tried all listed in XDA) yet have tried all the "fixes" listed....

I have found the cleanest 4.1.2 works the best for me:

Hi, I get all the time low battery wront. I am using win7 64bit and the flash tool 1.0.54. ( I dont know if I have similar flash tool that the threat because the links are expired. The question is.. how can change the USB port ... I dont have any box to change in my version.

Thanks in advance.. really I am crazy with this problem!:crying:

[LG Optimus G Pro] here.david:
2nd try

Yes I use to get the battery issue also. You are using an older version, I use this version LGFlashTool_1.6.01.0529.

The USB port change in on the windows system not on the phone. Device Manager, ports...properties, advance...It took me days of reading every post in all the listing on XDA to figure out how to easily go back to stock on the LG PRO.

Not to sound rude, IMHO, if one does not want "stock" then they need to realize many days/hours of reading EVERY post and spendin more days/hours trying everything they read until they find what works for them if they are to try ROMs that are not from the carrier (also many times I thought I had bricked the phone...as long as it get powered on it seems to be fixable).

Having been doing this from the 1st Android device and everytime I change/upgrade to a new phone I have to start all over learning. This LG pro (while the best IMHO stock) has more issues to use non-carriers ROMs then all the devices I have own/worked on (for friends).

Will I lose root if install one of these roms?

Which of the following rom you recommend for e988?

Thank you
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Please don't quote the entire post ... Lol.

You would loose root cause you would be returning back to stock...... It only takes 1 min to root these phones... For the e988 I recommend whatever came on your phone...
[LG Optimus G Pro] lakir:
ok :)

thanx man

If you do not mind me just post a link to the "root in 1 minute"

cheers

Haha there's no root called that. Just root it the same way you did before. I was just saying rooting only takes a minuet

The problem is that I did not root my phone, when I bought it was alredy rooted

Therefore i need link for root my e988

Looking for E986 modem zip
[LG Optimus G Pro] lg-user45:
This method looks like it also locks again your bootloader, which was unlocked by FreeGee.

How does this works?It doesnt uses the backups made by FreeGee? FreeGee needs the backup done by unlocking it when FreeGee returns to lock it again.

ok, question solved.....

Hello, i have the lge986, g pro for germany.

I want to flash a cm based customrom and also want to flash the

If i go back to stock with this tutorial,do i also get back my original modem,in that case

Modem for e986? I apreciate very much your work here and your aford trying helping people.

Thank you very much .
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
You don't need to flash a modem. When flashing cm stuff it doesn't flash a modem which means it doesn't touch your current one....
[LG Optimus G Pro] lg-user45:
Exactly this is my problem. Installing Vanir Rom with the e986 modem i have very bad connection.

I need do install the e980 modem. But i dont know how to come back to e986 modem if necessary.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hypnz:
Backup your e986 modem do your job and if necessary you can restore it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Don`t INSTALL THE MODEM!... Don`t touch it.... Just install the rom nothing else..

The vanir rom is so fast and has so many option for personal settings.

What a pitty the connection is so bad on e986.

The rom doesn't touch anything to cause bad signal it's the same as running stock

If i am on original stock rom , the connection symbol steps are mostly on lvl 4 to 5 and always blue.

When running Vanir rom it changes permanently between grey and blue. Also the wifi .

[LG Optimus G Pro] Rollercoaster123:
Thanks for this guide - very helpful. Some feedback from my testing:

1) Windows 8.1 works with the Flashtool. Did not have to change anything to make it work

2) The Panama version does not work with my E988/E989 version. Flashing with the Panama 980H results in a non-functional display (no screen). The phone does boot into OS (sounds are there), but just no image. Flashing with a 988 version works fine.

3) Something that wasn't mentioned in the guide, but should be I think, is that the KDZ file is removed from the system after flashing. I had to download the 1.8GB file twice because of this. Just make a copy before you flash.

Help me..

I'm confused to restore stock rom from cwm, but now I'm using twrp. how to get back to cwm ..? I use the e988 but using pac rom for e980.

I have a problem with the hardware. my device is E988. but I have installed a custom rom for the E980. computer hardware does not detect my device .. so I can not flash a fresh stock rom .. what should I do??
[LG Optimus G Pro] lg-user45:
Install freegee from playstore and this installs you cwm

May a bit more info,not only computer doesnt recognizes phone.

Can u enter download mode by pressing volume down and up and conecting via usb to pc?

If this works, then might install the drivers again.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
You don't restore stock rom from cwm. You must put your phone in download mode and download the correct files on your computer.
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
I agree. There really should be something added to the OP about the flashing process converting the kdz to a cab file, because if you don't make a backup, the file is unusable. It doesn't remove the file. it simply converts it to a cab.

Despite what most people believe, including some very smart CM devs, it's abundantly clear that the 98x variants are not identical in every way. I'm in a fortunate spot in the fact that 980h works absolutely perfectly for me, because I am actually in Panama and using Claro for whom the Panama 980h ROM was built. I bought a 32GB AT&T 980 and imported it for far less than the 16GB 980h model is sold here, and simply flashed it to Panama.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Are you sure the panama version in 16gb???.. Cause if it was when flashing the e980 you would only get 16gb from the panama firmware.
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
I don't mean that the ROM is 16GB. It's that there is a variant of the 98x called "980h," (it actually says 980h on the box), and it ships from LG for service providers in Central and South America with 16GB of internal memory. There might be 32GB versions, but my service provider (Claro Panama) only sells the 16GB version for almost double what I paid for the 32GB 980 AT&T model, and that's including shipping, tax and import fees! :silly:
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
What I was getting at:

Ex: Flashing the E980h firmware on the E980 Provides 32gb of storage.

Ex2: Flashing say the E988 firmware (which the E988 is only 16GB) on the E980 it will turn that E980 from 32gb to 16gb (11gb usable) So thats what I was saying, Like if the shipped Panama Phone comes with the Same firmware we are flashing on our E980`s looks like it would drop our E980`s down to 16GB like the others do.
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
That's not the case. I think it's because there probably is a 32GB variant of the 980h made by LG, where there's not on the 988, so it seems that the partition map the firmware uses is quite a bit different, which might explain the booting issues as well, because the firmware expects things to be in a different place than they actually are.

Essentially, the 988 is far more different from the AT&T 980 than the 980h is. I do believe these devices to be virtually identical. Honestly, I've never had any device function so perfectly on my network, because Fast Dormancy 980 AT&T model with 980h Panama ROM works extremely well. Better than it did on my S3 I9300 (int. model) which I bought here.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Thats Great to hear though!, I live in the USA, and I try to AVOID AT&T Devices lol! Even though I have AT&T
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
LOL! I can understand that.

Any chance you might add a note to the OP about the conversion of the kdz file to cab?

I saw an option in the LG flash tool that said something about re encrypting the cab to kdz, but I've not tested it.

I also didn't realize this and had to download the kdz a couple of times before I realized that I hadn't just misplaced it. It really was gone after flash (converted to an unflashable cab).

Hi there, im running e98810E rom. im from the philippines running Globe service provider. At the moment i cant have a 4g or LTE icon on my status bar, its only pure H (tried a speedtest and it only had roughly 3mbs download which i think if its LTE you get a bit higher than that). so i want to flash my rom and try to fix this issue. but my concern is on your step #8 on "Select Type = 3GQCT" will this be having LTE after flash? and on "Country=Republic of Korea" is philippines not available?

this will be a huge help for me, thank you

and thank you for your detailed guide.
