No update on mine in Bulgaria

Interesting... LG wasn't able to properly skin over stock Android. Swiping up into the screen brings up the GoogleNow and QuickMemo shortcuts!! Anyone else seeing this?!
[LG Optimus G Pro] BassMaster90:
Haven't had that happen.
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimuswhite:
Yes I noticed it right awat, because I use same gesture to bring up Pie Control from Gravity Box mod, but instead it show LG ring navigation.

Too bad we can't add more shortcut,

only can totally replace it with our custom shortcut with G2 Tweakbox

[LG Optimus G Pro] dante_67:
It is a built in feature, that is there for ask the kit Kat based roms
[LG Optimus G Pro] dginsd:
Search for an app on xda called "LMT"it's a much better implementation of pie than the one in gravity box. I've found the fewer xposed modules you use the more stable things seem to be. I was running g2 tweeksbox, gravitybox, xblast, app settings, and audio privacy modules. Managed to cut out gravitybox, and xblast, and eliminate a lot of FC's.

Guys, I noticed that Thailand got KitKat too. The phone model is E989, the same as here, in Brazil.

Does it make, by itself, ok for me to flash in my Brazilian E989??

I suspect the ROM language will be Thai. Although English may be an option. But suggest you to wait if you are not willing to play around :)

LG france told me Update to 4.4 was cancelled ????

Hello,

LG france told me that the update to android 4.4 for the european version was cancelled (E986).

I hope it's a joke !

See screenshot.

Any other information?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Lukewarm83:
Are the non U.S. versions vanilla or are they bloated like ATT?

No way!!!!

If the e975 is able to handle with KK, why they say it was cancelled the update???

If the E986 don´t get KK update I will never buy another lg phone!!!!

I've buy a moto g 4 g lte for 180 euros.. came with kitkat 4.4.3.. Very fluid..

My phone stills full stock, can share how to root, install recovery and more detail to flash the rom, kernel, gapps and modem?

Thanks in advance
[LG Optimus G Pro] Pilaf:
root with this method:

Download mokee rom and put it on sd card in the phone

reboot in custum recovry by freegee

navigate in custom recovry to instal mokee rom (zip format)

instale

For the battery i don't know now cause the rom is actualy in 4.4.4 and when i used that it was in 4.4.3

For the 4g you have to untik data and set it again after reboot to have 4g

Hello. Guys

I have a doubt here. I´m using a LG989 with SuperSu. Do i need to unroot the phone to update to KK once it´ll be released ?

Thanks for any help
[LG Optimus G Pro] vladmir:
I think you can do the update, at the end you lose root. If this don't work, the best way to update is flash your latest sock firmware and try again.

I'm not in home so I can't try it. At least I hope some feedback about of languages availables and the most important... About the modem, if is equal to the Portuguese e986.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jackrip5:
It took me some time but i flashed the E986 V20 KDZ.

I did no clean up, so all settings were kept.

Have to download several LG App Updates (File manager - music app - weather theme)

All APN settings are gone.

It is indeed KK 4.4.2 for E986, Build-Number KOT49l.E98620a - software versionE98620a-EUR-XX

I'll do a full reset to begin properly from scratch.
[LG Optimus G Pro] micele85:
I'm downloading it right now

I think that we can use the netherlands baseband wich can be found here on xda

edit: flashed, I think this is the general eu version, language availables are English and Italian and many more I didn't try, works on e986 Italy, once again Thank XDA!
[LG Optimus G Pro] vladmir:
I´m from Portugal, please can you check Portuguese language is included? Can you share number version of baseband? any problem with data(4g) or wifi?

My phone is the E896 16 GB model but remains full stock (4.1.2) without root, can you point me the tools you used to flash this?

Thanks in advance
[LG Optimus G Pro] micele85:
checked

Language available are: French, Spanish, Portugues, German, English, Italian and all the European language

You have to set manually your internet apn

Wi-fi is not working at home, it connects to the network but says "no internet connection"

For the flash I used the guide founded on XDA

Thanks, can you point me the link of threat...for me this threats are confusion, because this device have different models. I don´t to brick my working phone!

Do you try to do a hard reset? Or maybe the problem is the baseband version. I don't now if are different versions and country specification for JB and other for KK. So...you can try flash your previous baseband and check if works.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Yannick1988:
I was having bootloop with KK for E986 Turk even after hard reset

I'm flashing back original 4.1.2 for my phone...so be carrefull.

To get phone in download mode plug it in and keep VOL+&VOL- pressed.

I hope LG will release the OTA update in a few days for all countries :D
[LG Optimus G Pro] vladmir:
Thanks for the warning.

With the bootloader locked by LG is pretty easy to brick and return to stock this device. I will not try this firmware.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jackrip5:
Even After full wipe, everything seems to work fine with kk e986.

I had to set apn manually, but no problem, works flawlessly here in Belgium. No wifi issue either.

Rom is very fluid and quite bloatware free. Don't expect too much new functions. No new wallpapers or themes.

just have 2g or 3g.

to have 4 g i have to use code or application in play store

but i stay in 4.4.2 ;)

[MENTION=4765748]Yannick1988[/MENTION]: great checklist :good:

I think i'll give it a try.

Just a few questions:

When starting point is the custom rom, is backupping necessary? If yes, which methode do you use?

Is the rooting part of the upgrade or just a new rooting after rooting has gone by the upgrade?
[LG Optimus G Pro] vladmir:
Is a method for root after you made the KK update.
[LG Optimus G Pro] micele85:

Another confirmation... As you can see in the screenshot I posted here, LG France confirmed to me on FB that they consider deleted the update to KK 4.4.2 for E986 version of the G Pro. I'm Italian but I can't understand why in Turkey the update was released and in France it has been deleted!?!? I really would like to understand what is the LG position in the other European countries... In Italy, as usual, LG is very nebulous in its answers...

I've told them the Turkish phone is exactly the same as ours, but they claim it's different and they must fully test the phone using the kitkat version before releasing that kk version.

I'm not going to wait forever for this, I think I will install CM11 next week. I've noticed my phone is not as fast as it should be, and that is the stock 4.1.2 rom, not the HW.

[LG Optimus G Pro] vladutz2007:
Next time better go with samsung
[LG Optimus G Pro] liamR:
Absolutely not!

I'll give you 6 reasons (lookup for them if you not sure what they mean)...

1. New Area lock in their devices.

2. New Knox (anti developers) system.

3. Doesn't stand behind its products (S4 Active advertised as waterproof and it turns out it's not, and Samsung will not give warranty on water damage, It took forever for Samsung to recognize the Sudden Death Syndrome @S3/NoteII and even now not every branch in the world replacing dead (from SDS) devices.

4. It takes forever for them to update devices (a bit less than LG).

5. They're trying to "close" Android by convincing developers to develop only for their hardware.

6. All their flagship devices suffer from lags.

I have many more reasons (I had S2/S3/NoteII/S4). If you buying Samsung you be killing android as we know it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] titus1:
In all honesty...GPro is really better than S4

Now, if only LG could make it best by giving us that overdue update/s
[LG Optimus G Pro] aygriffith:
As a new Note 3 user I can assure you there is no lag on the Note 3. The Note 2 was a very solid device too, and prior to 4.x upgrades the Note 1 was a great device (that had upgrades all the way from 2.3 to 4.0 to 4.1). These phones and the S2/S3 had no real competition from LG while they were in their prime. They may have lagged due to Touchwiz here and there but they still led the pack in specs, quality, and functionality.

The LG G Pro is a great device and in certain ways better than the Note 2. But LG hasn't supported the device with advertising or software updates at all. It's a wonder they sell any in the US.

And without Samsung, Android wouldn't be where it is today. There would be no Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 if Google hadn't done so well with the two prior Samsung Nexus phones. All the Tizen conjecture is just that, hot air. Samsung knows developers won't develop for another platform. They won't switch from Android unless the market share for Android dramatically declined.

I'm a fan of moving the needle forward, not of any particular brand, and right now Samsung has move the progress of the platform WAY forward. LG can play too but the G2 and the unadvertised G Pro don't constitute a dramatic championing of Android. It's more of "hey we're actually serious about this too."
