I don't believe there will be an update because there hasn't been one for a very long time. However I don't think Kitkat is important. You can do 99% of the things without an update. And if you want to get Kitkat at all cost then install a custom rom.

Yes. Kitkat news for g is legit. Anyone need proof?
[LG Optimus G (International)] hackenggr:
that is nice. there is not mention about the F180L :( is it safe to flash the F180K or F180S kdz on L and phone will still remain ok. I know it is flash to safe to flash the other kdz on F180L but not sure about the koren versions itself that K & S use the same hardware and partition table
[LG Optimus G (International)] jordy1990:
It look like the E975 could be getting the KitKat update rather soon.

SFR from France has published that their Optimus G will be getting the update this June.

I did flashed the F180S and F180K laster JB and no OTA update came for there. Thanks for the F180L link it is downloading I will install it to preview the kitkat update, but agree with you intl update will be better than korean they contain alot of blotware :(

[LG Optimus G (International)] jordy1990:
Well there talking about the LG L9 II perhaps that phone will receive knock code which would be an odd choice of LG cause the OG didn't get this.

Gesendet von meinem LG-E975 mit Tapatalk
[LG Optimus G (International)] jordy1990:
I think you're misinterpretation me and Gsmarena completely.

1. A low end device is receiving the KitKat update in Europe even before OG.

2. It seems that LG (according to Gsmarena) has also included Knock code in the update of the LG L9 II even though the KitKat update of F180 didn't include Knock Code

3. We will be getting those features after the KK release?? We all know better than this. If the OG receives its KK update it will probably be its last.
[LG Optimus G (International)] valerik1989:
we will not get kk to lg e975 coz soon will be released g3 and will be with kk ... lg will try to make us buy new devices to get kk
[LG Optimus G (International)] 2nd Sky:
hahahaha.......

NOPE! THe most customers take a **** of updates! so it does not matter if kk for G comes before G3.... perhaps is a + for LG because that shows, that older phones get updated ;)

and theres a modified STOCK KK with guest mode and other **** by LG but dont ask me for link!! and with our community we can bring knockON/Code to our G because we need for those a modified kernel, who support that ;)
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
I doubt it... E975 should get an update soon (I hope...). It wouldn't make much sense to release KK for F180 only, and just ignore other versions. But hey, with LG's update track record, you never know for sure -- every update is almost a miracle... Anyway, I am glad I got the F180. :)

http://lgviet.com/forum/threads/kitkat-4-4-2-sling-g-f180-v2-1-blueberry-lgviet-com.19093/

For those who will try on e975:

unlocked and rooted device needed

after install rom, bootloader is closed, but u can easy unlock it with freegee (mako method)

download rom and f180k patch, a e975 modem (http://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3AKIYS66ogAOUVOa2VjVjl1Uk0) and SuperSu

install all, before format data, cache and system! for me, no edits needed, im on philz recovery! data works, ART does not work (but its in developer settings...) guestMode, slideaside works, a KnockOn feature is also but only to go sleep... (no dt2w!) and knockCode but its like pattern unlock, u must wake ur phone to tap in an area... no korean stuff.. boot is faster than f180K ollehblabla branding.... ;)

[LG Optimus G (International)] alexmartinsrj:
Hi, i backup my jb modem and used in kk whiout problems, 2G, 3G and 4G (LTE) is working flowless.

Anda about the partition size, my phone has 1.5G. System partition. When i tried flash sling 2.1first, i'm stucked in boot logo, but if i first flash the paulicat KK and in sequence flash Sling 2.1 KK it worked, so after a sucessfull boot i flashed my modem backup and all works fine. By the way, after flash the two kk roms in sequence, my system partition growed to 2.1G. My bet is that paulicat KK was responsable for that growing and that s open the path to install Sling 2.1 whitout problems.

One more thing, after flash sling 2.1 my build.prop was changed and my phone now is shiwing F180L on model, so if you desire keep the model , backup the build.prop ti see whats you need change to repirt the correct model.

Until now, the only problem caused by the wrong model is that lg smart world web site is blocking my attenpts of download themes for LG home, because F180l doenst exists in my country, so the download. is blocked

Hi, someone can giveme the build.prop of e977? After i installed with sucess the Sling 2.1 my phone now report F180L as model, and i wish compare the buid,props and make the necessary changes to give the correct model reported again,

Thanks in advance,

format system, data and cache!

install the zip

the right modem (e975 modem for e975....)

and superSu.zip

it will boot!

after that u can reopen bootloader by using the app freegee!
[LG Optimus G (International)] worldone98:
What recovery u used and which modem ru talking about
[LG Optimus G (International)] alexmartinsrj:
Ok, here is what i do:

Backup files in internal memory (sdcard folder) . These files will be erased in the process

Backup current modem (if korean bands is diferent from yours original band , like me)

You can find some modems ready to flash here (DOWNLOAD)

Flash the KDZ File of E975 (Open Europe Version) from lg-phone-firmware site (DOWNLOAD)

For a sucessfull flash of this KDZ you can use the files and instructions inside this RAR file (DOWNLOAD). This file has all tools needed in the correct versions to flash a big KDZ without problems. Ps: If the flashtool report low batery and interrupt the process, just start the process again (with de phone turned-on , not in Download mode

If you are stucked in boot logo, make a hard reset: Turn-off the phone e then press [POWER & VOL- ] until a message appears request a confirmation to erase data from your phone.

In stock JB:

Copy Paulicat Rom zip, Sling_GOPEN_G_F180_v2.1_blueberry_260514.zip , Sling2.1_Patch_F180K_lgviet.com.zip, UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99 and a modem backup zip.

Root the phone using the "ZV9-ZVB-Universal-Root.zip" that's is inside the RAR file mentioned above

Download Freegee from market, backup EFS (just in case) and unlock bootloader installing (TWRP Recovery). I used "classic method",but several users use "Mako" method and had sucess.

After reboot, goto freegee again and choose "Reboot Recovery" in Fregee Menu

In TWRP Recovery:

Format System

Wipe cache

Wipe Data(not the internal memory or you will loose the zips copied above)

Wipe Dalvik-cache

Install Paulicat ROM

Wipe cache again

Wipe Data again (not the internal memory or you will loose the zips copied above)

Wipe Dalvik-cache again

Install Sling_GOPEN_G_F180_v2.1_blueberry_260514.zip

Install Sling2.1_Patch_F180K_lgviet.com.zip,

Install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99

Reboot

If you are stucked in boot make a hard-reset again: Turn-off the phone e then press [POWER & VOL- ] until a message appears request a confirmation to erase data from your phone.

Congratulations, you are on "Sling KK" :)

If you has signal problems, just flash the zip with your modem backup (or one of the zips provided in link above)

Good look in your path to KK :) "When flash KK, lucky and patient is needed" (yoda)
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Just wondering... I keep reading instructions in several threads to flash Paulicat's ROM as an intermediate step before Sling. Why is this needed??? Unless, of course, you want to use Paulicat's ROM, then just flash it and stay with it. But as a stepping stone to Sling? What's the rationale here? I don't get it... What am I missing? In my experience (did it several times), Sling, as well as VDT, can be flashed just fine with no problems from CWM/TWRP recovery in stock ROM, once the BL is unlocked and recovery is installed with FreeGee.

Here is some extra info on modems, from my own experience. Might be useful...

"Lucky and patient you need" -- that would sound more like Yoda to me. :) Sorry, just couldn't resist...:p
[LG Optimus G (International)] alexmartinsrj:
Im my case, when i tried install Sling directly over Stock JB with (1.5G System), he doesn't boot! Several users reports that sling requires a 2G System partition before flash.

It's only a guess, but i believe that Paulicat rom zip, makes my system partition grows from 1.5G to 2.1G when it's flashs several img's inside the zip and that's the reason for a sucessfull flash of Sling! . The fact is that before paulicat rom, my system partition has only 1.5G and now the partition have 2.1 G!!

Yes, this sound much better! :)

Ahh, OK. I was under an impression that flashing 10H KDZ would take care of setting the system partition size to 2GB. If it doesn't, then it makes more sense... I got a 2GB system partition when I flashed the latest JB V20N KDZ on my phone (I have F180, not E975), so Sling installed just fine.

I have E975 and can flash VDT and paulicat's without problem. Infact i used VDT from furkanderger first before flashing paulicat's. I didn't flash 10h either, using my old 10F and it was because i got secure boot error after flashing hoangnova's. I don't understand why you guys have to use complicated steps to install it.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
I can't upload it now from work, so will have to do that when I get home in the evening. Or, you could extract it from the VDT patch for a specific model that can be found here.

Well, I didn't understand it either, that's why I asked. :) I do understand that quite a few users are facing a problem with the system partition being too small, hence all the steps to resolve it. But I was able to install VDT and Sling straight from CWM in stock ROM. Whatever works, I guess...

after using it for first 19 minutes i can't spot any visual difference between 4.1 and 4.4 . LG made very poor job while adding some good features .

in performance level i do feel some difference but visually i feel like i m still using jellybean :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] rimsilva:
Sorry, I don't agree with you...

For me performance level is much better and that is what matters (battery especially), I don't have installed German version, but should not be very different from other European version (off course that sling has more (and good) add-ons).

There are slight differences on UI like status bar icons (more kitkat) but you should expect LG UI not Samsung or Sony, of course that G3 is very different because it's a new LG UI.

The main things on this new OS version is that now you are able to install more applications (that are nor compatible with JB) but if you look more carefully you will find a new dial, sms, battery statistics and a lockscreen with widgets support!
