That's great, glad to see someone is working on it! it would be great to see at least CWM and some custom kernel for this device because it would give us a lot of possibilities. thumbs up man!
[General Questions and Answers] Paul!us:
I need some time figuring out how to unlock the bootloader (top priority right now, searching in the source code and forums, experimenting with possible solutions, none yet worked). Everything else seems easy compared to it. I'll keep you informed.

P.S. Are there any people who want to assist? We could do it in a few groups if there are people willing to spend their time on this: I'd continue with what I'm doing (shouldn't take long), others could begin porting CWM, CM10.1 and/or CM11. Thanks in advance. Phone source here (thanks to JBolho, thread), CWM source and CM source.
[General Questions and Answers] gorankx:
Is there at least solution for removing odexed apps ?
[General Questions and Answers] Paul!us:
Not yet, my main priority is bringing CWM and CM10.1/CM11 to our E440.
[General Questions and Answers] dodo333:
I agree that's the biggest priority right now, don't give up on it :). I would love to participate, but unfortunately I don't know enough about it and I certanly don't have the time for learning or helping out:

hey, I am using the same phone, after some troubles looking for an app I found the pro version of Titanium Backup working perfectly

and great to hear that some people are working on a custom rom!
[General Questions and Answers] Paul!us:
Neutral to good news: I've found the website that *may* have the information we all need (and a petition to the manufacturer to send instructions - haven't had time to analyze it all) here. It's in russian, though. I'll keep you informed.
[General Questions and Answers] cyberangel22k:
Do you guys have a readback ROM from your device? I just want to see what I can do with it... Maybe I can make a TWRP/CTR(CWM) recovery. And maybe even custom roms.. BTW, building ROMS from source is very hard now because even source codes released are just for kernel. Some devs have booted a partially working CM10.2 to a WIKO. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2274332.

---------- Post added at 12:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

Sorry, Ihave just read the russian forums and even they, cannot obtain readback because of a locked boot loader.
[General Questions and Answers] nasko_spasko:
I already have cwm for e440, right now the main issue is the bootloader, without unlock u cannot use custom recovery, due to security restriction. so porting cwm is pointless since you have locked BL.
[General Questions and Answers] Paul!us:
I tried to play around with the pre-set boot image (extracted it), got zimage and ramdisk files, nothing else yet. I'll try to override the bootloader somehow. It seems that any solution for other Optimus/II phones won't work here, so it's time to break down the code and figure it all out manually and hope for the best, yet no official information is released by LG.
[General Questions and Answers] nasko_spasko:
I believe that the restriction is set in u-boot, but i have no experience in BL modding, good luck
[General Questions and Answers] cyberangel22k:
Tried unpacking the KDZ firmware but it always fails to unpack. If I can get the files, I can tinker a bit and try something about the bootloader problem. Not saying I can bypass it though.:p
[General Questions and Answers] nasko_spasko:
You see.. I have those files, I think we should work on uboot or preloader_dsp, not sure... PM me for more info.
[General Questions and Answers] cyberangel22k:
How did you unpack the KDZ firmware? is that a readback from SPFT? the sizes are a bit weird. the sec ro has 900+mb. normaly this is just 6mb. the the ANDROID.img which is the system partition has only 512 kb.
[General Questions and Answers] nasko_spasko:
i know, its kinda tricky. when i firstly bricked my device i started playing with firmwares, at last i found the source code of a linux console program for unpacking kdz fw files (btw sizes are normal), then i compiled and it worked flawlessly. The only issue is that secro is actually the system partition. So I flashed the secro image to system partition and - voala device booted, all files are ok: bootimg.img recovery.img mbr ebr..etc. However, I have made rom dump with android mtk tools and i have dumped bootloader and kernel, recovery too... I don't know if sharing these files here is legal, so if you want them- PM me.

Have a good day! :)

PS: SPFT works with this device only if you set it manually to COMXX for your device, for me usb mode ain't work.. that is how i flashed secro to system
[General Questions and Answers] cyberangel22k:
Yes It is legal to share firmware dump. will PM you. Thanks.:good:
[General Questions and Answers] nasko_spasko:
I will upload these files when I get back home.

By the way I have kernel and android source codes for e440 and I did not managed to compile kernel, anyone have tried to do that? Any success?

This compiling and rom building is new for me.

Bootloader unlock you say ?

quote me and reply if you can test we can try to unlock or port locked cwm :)

we had no luck with lg L5 II bootloader but we have cwm (locked bootloader kind) so it might be possible to do it for your phone

in case you just want to try on your own you can find it here made by [MENTION=3877121]slipsystem[/MENTION]

IF YOU OWN THIS PHONE MODEL ASK ADMINS TO ADD IT TO http://xdaforums.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7-l9-ii AS ITS HARDWARE IS NEARLY SAME TO L5 II
[General Questions and Answers] slipsystem:
I am 90% sure that my recovery will work for the L4II
[General Questions and Answers] IGGYVIP:
we share that feeling :)

this phone is same just that your screen is bigger then theirs

before today i had no idea there is L4 at all lol

i can see they will have cwm very soon :D
[General Questions and Answers] teoesdios:
Hmmm, let's see if I didn't messed up. It's with the CMW for L5 II, right?

USB in debug, execute init.bat (also, changed chmod in init.sh to 775), reboot and repeatedly press VOL+ when the bootscreen shows up, right? Or using Recovery Reboot apk.

Well, the apk crashes the phone on booting, with the sick android logo showing. Gotta remove battery to reboot.

And pressing the VOL+ didn't work either.

Any ideas? Or did I do something wrong? XD
[General Questions and Answers] TheMysteryouse:
:)

Man i cant wait till u guys port the cwm.I'm really pumped (kinda).What ever you do don't give up,we count on you :)
[General Questions and Answers] slipsystem:
Do you have the latest busybox installed?

Try uninstall busybox and reinstall then run the bat.

Also if you could post a log of what happens when runnibg the bat that would help.

Once you have CWM working dont waste time, head over to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735191 and run the port tool in the second post. I can then start building your first Modom(its my new word for something that is a mix between a mod and a rom).
[General Questions and Answers] teoesdios:
IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just by constantly pressing VOL+ when boots. khjaksjdgskjdbñgkjasdgkjhsad YOU ROCK!

I am thinking if the cwm for lg l5 worked here will the lg l5 roms work on our phones.I would try it but I'm scared that i brick my phone :o
[General Questions and Answers] IGGYVIP:
!!!!

CWM IS

!!!! NOT from L5 e610/2/5 !!!

!!!! ITS from L5 II e450 !!!

your phone is MTK not QcoM so it will 100% brick (most likely it would not even accept the flash process to begin with)

L4 II VS L5 II

L4 II VS L5

you can try to flash speria (modded stock lg JB based on xperia) for e450 but no guarantees and make sure to full backup and be ready for soft brick

(I WOULD NOT TRY I WOULD WAIT AND MAYBE SLIP WILL PORT TO YOUR PHONE)

No more FILE EXPLORER. Hello, ES FILE EXPLORER.

No more MUSIC PLAYER. Hello Shuttle+ :P

Ok, now, I want to get rid of the stock launcher, and just put Nova or Apex. Which files are the ones of the launcher? Because even the "themes" it has, are apk's.

I mean, do I just delete/put new ones in the /system/apps folder?
[General Questions and Answers] IGGYVIP:

i can feel your happiness yet i'm sure slipsystem's posts are missing some thanks ;)

you can TRY use AROMA MADE BY SLIP TO INSTALL THINGS LIKE ADBLOCK CUSTEM LAUNCHERS LOCKSCREENS APPS JUST MAKE SURE NOT TO INSTALL SYSTEM UI AS IT WILL CRASH THE PHONE

[General Questions and Answers] IGGYVIP:
screenshot ? (i just wanna see BIGGGG font {it must look funny})

yup the screen size is bigger and ppi is much higher in l5 II

so it could display incorrectly

to fully remove flash stock system.img using mtkdroidtools or flash stock using lg software then restore your backup ;)

i believe he is a pro and that it will not take him long (during next week he will be more busy than usual but i'm sure if he finds time you will have 1st proper mod for L4 II )

so please use the "forport" tool and have the files ready for him to download ;)

If he will have to come next time and ask you to run it that's a waste of he's precious time and you will have to wait longer ...

Yes, my friend. Today is a new day and we have us some recovery for the L4 II. Just, check in page 3 o 4, there's a link for Slip's L5 II recovery. Works the same way for our L4 II. Now we are waiting on some ROM cooks.

Hope this helps :)
[General Questions and Answers] IGGYVIP:
its not flashing but i belive its possible to use the LBL recovery made by slipsystem

steps

1. get intrest towards the device DONE !

2. get cwm DONE/IN - PROGRESS ?

3. make Device Tree on git - ^^^UNTOUCHED !

4. custom kernel - ^^^UNTOUCHED !

5. ROM - ^^^UNTOUCHED !

so steps

2, 3, 4 need to be completed in order to work on rom

(someone might try to port some roms from other device or make JB based rom then the kernel/devtree step might be skipped )

Can someone help me?

I installed the recovery and it works the first time,but when i reboot the device and want to go again in the recovery it doesn't go to the recovery,and i need to install recovery again.Anyone has an idea how to clear this?Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] TheMysteryouse:
Sry guys for all these messages but just to tell you,I installed the Slimsystem on my phone and it is working.No lag,everything is smooth.Only thing is the resolution.Bcs the LG L5 II resolution is bigger than of the L4 the icons are big so yeah,if there is a way to change the icon size,u can install the rom :D
[General Questions and Answers] teoesdios:
Yeah, I had that problem. It's one of the 2 bugs I found.

When exiting the recovery, DO NOT press on the "YES, DISABLE RECOVERY", just go to REBOOT RECOVERY NOW, and then press in one of the NO options.

(The other bug I found was making backups, I can't make a backup because it doesn't found the boot.img)

Also, had that problem installing the L5 Aroma made by Slip. The size of the font and icons were too big, even when made a full restore it didn't work. Had to re-flash the whole system from a newly KDZ file of the L4 II firmware.

I will make a post about it later. My best bet, wait fora new rom made especificaly for this rom, or try to port one for it, but do not install one for the L5 II, even if it's "gonna work anyways".

[General Questions and Answers] teoesdios:
Here, my friend. I just made you a little quick tutorial, and uploaded all the files you need.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FILES: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=BCE3841943B1AED1!6857

Step by Step:

1 - Download your STOCK ROM on http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=36

2 - Install the drivers

3 - Install the LG Soft (B2CAppSetup)

4 - Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and replace the file "hosts"

5 - Install shttp3 and execute

On the taskbar, check the icon for the soft, open settings and go to HTTP. Change the NUMBER OF HTTP REQUESTS to 100, and the TCP/IP port for 9002. Then OK.

6- Go to C:\shttp\ and replace all the files in the folder www for the ones on the folder 6.

7 - Turn the Hidden files off, and search for c:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\ and replace all the file with the ones in folder 7.

8- Open Windows Enabler, clic it once on the taskbar until it says ON.

Then open UpTestEX, and put it on 3GQCT and in PhoneMode "DIAG". Select the KDZ you will flash and press on the NORMAL WEB UPGRADE TEST, then UPGRADE START on the window it will popup.

9 - Once all the upgrade finishes (IT HAS TO SAY EXIT on the Updater), close all, replace the files HOSTS again and you are DONE.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know it's a little messy, but if you need any help, let me know.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMysteryouse:
?

Thanks for the guide but i don't get the 'Replace hosts' part.Can you maybe explain it a little more?Thanks :)

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

Okay step 4,5,6 and 7 i really don't get.Can u explain a little more?
[General Questions and Answers] teoesdios:
Just go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and there is gonna be a file, hosts (no extention). Replace it, that will prevent the software to get online or even TRY to make an update, because sometimes (at least it happens to me) says you don't need an update and doesn't let you update. It wont screw up your pc or anything, it's just so you can perform the update OFFLINE.

Anyway i work as a programmer so if you need any help i would be glad to help you.
[General Questions and Answers] nasko_spasko:
Right now there is not any complete custom rom, that is because we do not have cwm recovery on our device, i mean native boot, not 2nd init... I personaly didn't managed to flash zip from recovery - reason: updater-script attempts to format /system, but that is impossible because the recovery ramdisk is on that partition (mounted on /system) and cant unmount because is in use. So untill we get native cwm, no rom can be installed, i work on that too as many others do if you want to help see the main thread for e440...
