Ya I agree...not all are interested with flashing.

But they should understand flashing will not void warranty..

Because rooting is not necessary for this process.

It's a pure stock rom and anytime we can go back to any country version.

So be bold & aware of flashing and enjoy.

BTW I also condemn for LG for its very late update for this phone.

LG people bury their this successful device themselves.

Do a factory reset and try now. (By pressing volume down+power button and confirm by pressing power button)

Flash Modem files via Anirudh thread in android development menu. It will work after that. For that you need recovery for mobile.

Call connection problem

Hi guys,

I am on Airtel and for the past few days many of my friends have told me that they have not been able to reach my phone, it says switched off to them. Where as, my phone has never been switched off in the past few days and I have been in places where there is very good network connectivity. I have complained to the airtel service and they assured that there is no problem from their side. What should I do now? Anyone else facing similar issues? TIA
[LG Optimus G Pro] mandarjoshiin:
What rom r u using??

[LG Optimus G Pro] dinhcara:
I am on stock and not rooted.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mandarjoshiin:
Oh.. ok.. generally there should not be a prob with signal with stock Rom as such.. try checking with LG guys at the service center..

Sent from my LG Optimus G Pro E980
[LG Optimus G Pro] dinhcara:
Okay, I will take it to the service centre guys. If I have to leave my phone with them for 2-3 days, will they give a temporary replacement?

And how to take complete backup of my phone? My phone is not rooted.
[LG Optimus G Pro] clotveins:
Use inbuilt backup feature for OGP. I used it myself and it restored whats app etc like a charm without registering my number again.

I am using stock unrooted rom myself.

Sent from my LG E988; click thanks if i helped you. it will be appreciated
[LG Optimus G Pro] dinhcara:
Oh great! Is it the backup and reset option, which says backup app data etc to google servers? So, if I factory reset my phone, I can just log into the google account and the phone will be the same as now?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Addicted2xda:
Yes, but I am not sure if Application data is backed up or not... Why don't you try Titanium backup?

He said.. his phone is not rooted

Sent from my LG Optimus G Pro E980

Singapore Kitkat

For guys who are using the Singapore of Kitkat official ROMs.

Can u please share the feature updates available.

Does it have Knock on, knock code, additional lockscreen effects, transparent status bar, quick cover,

Would u suggest Singapore ROM

or Beanstalk

or Sphinx https://translate.google.com/transl...pinx-kitkat-remod-by-radeonmaya-17-5-14.4941/

Can someone using Beanstalk tell me if it has the default lg apps like Qremote, Qslide, Slide aside, default lg camera for dual recording and modes.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Gautam_RamMohan:
Hi,

I too has this issue. Seems it's Ok now. Not sure whether it's phone issue or related to Airtel. For me reliance nos couldn't connect to my number
[LG Optimus G Pro] azeem.droid:
I am using the sphinx rom on my E-988 since a week and can totally vouch for it. Excellent performance and battery life, it has got all Lg apps plus knock code & slide aside and everything works flawlessly.

Previously i used beanstalk for almost a month, its the best aosp based rom here for gpro. Has all the features except the ones present in stock LG roms like the Q apps knock code etc.. Also ull b compromising a lil on the battery life with aosp based roms but there will be more customization options with it.

I personally would recommend sphinx as you wont have to go to Flash tools n all to enjoy stock kitkat rom. Check out my installation instructions for sphinx rom in the last few pages of that thread.

Hope this helps. :)

[LG Optimus G Pro] Gautam_RamMohan:
There is an option where double tapping will turn off the screen. Is this option working
[LG Optimus G Pro] Makarizo:
Is working perfectly, you need to activate it first tho, under Gesture setting, Screen Off

However I find quad control setting (under Display Setting) is gone after updated to Kitkat.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dinhcara:
Where is the old theme? Why does everything look so bad after updating. The call screen used to be completely flat, now it has gone back to a stone age design. Your opinion about it? and how do I go back to the previous theme? Any suggestions. My phone is not rooted.

Thanks Makarizo.. Hi all, Is a factory reset recommended after the update?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Makarizo:
Yes, I had a "Bluetooth has stopped" bug after installed kitkat through OTA, everytime I install or uninstall an app it will pop up

After factory reset, my e988 runs normal again. No bugs so far and battery usage is impressive compare with 4.1.2

Updated to Kitkat 4.4.2 but home button not working!!!

Hi Friends,

I am a user LG optimus G pro for nearly 7 months. It was a very nice experience with this mobile with best screen probably at that time.

Yesterday i got an update about Android 4.4.2, I was excited to know that finally we have much awaited update which we never expect from LG. Its never too late though...

So finally I decided to update midnight and downloaded over 650 MB of update overnight and finally update completed at around 8: 30am in the morning. Everything was fine but when I clicked Home button to check my all apps. It started popping message "Unfortunately Home has stopped".

And I was not able to check my all apps at a time.

Though temporarily I have pulled all important apps on my top screens, but its still very uneasy without Home button, i also checked on internet there is a slide up feature to check all the apps. When I slide up again message comes out to be "Unfortunately Home has stopped". Please tell me if anyone has same issues.

I was happy with update with new features but now i am frustrated as i can't access all apps at a time.. anyone having same problem and what should i do to short it out ??
[LG Optimus G Pro] NaveenKumarXDA:
Factory reset will sort out all these problems. Enjoy KitKat.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Addicted2xda:
Did not understand why LG kept ART out....

I personally found quite a bit of speed improvement when switched to ART on my Moto X...

Overall the update seemded to be good for the battery (probably because of better memory management in KK), but did not notice much performance improvement.

There is a new feature in Galary - shows the Geotag location of the photos you have clicked. Which I think, is quite a convenient feature.

Dialer has changed, and also - there is now a non intrusive incoming call popup - which is really handy, especially if it is a call you don't want to pick...

So far so good, but I doubt what will the speed be once all my apps are installed (I did a clean install, i.e. factory reset then OTA). Somehow I feel it will perform slower...

On Screen Phone does not work, or may be I don't know how to make it work...

[LG Optimus G Pro] NaveenKumarXDA:
I hope someone with Indian Kitkat can upload CWM Backup here for others using Non- Stock version. May be useful to try some mods on it.

Method to upload :

1. Root with Towelroot

2. Install freegee & cwm with it.

3. Make backup of fresh install/reset Stock in mobile.

4. Upload backup file.

Hopefully someone will upload it. I want to test most of collected mods (eg. speaker volume) & functions from CM 11 on it. Currently tested most on hongkong version but it is not so much google friendly.

waiting for it ...... Thanks
[LG Optimus G Pro] saurabh808:

i dont like the camera UI doesnt remember the prvious settings like it was with 4.1.2

Indian LG G Pro [Kitkat Rooting and Custom Rom help]

I have the Indian Optimus G Pro [E98810E]. It was bricked when i tried to root and install a custom rom.. So Updated to Kitkat [E98820C] using flash tool and KDZ file. The phone is fine. Help me with my questions I searched everywhere but no use

1) Perfect way to root?

2) Even after flashing KDZ properly phone not entering recovery mode [vol down+power].. y?

3) Freegee does not support latest kitkat.. Any better alternative?

4) Before when i tried to install Zip file using CWM it said "Succesfully installed" but when i restart phone it goes into CWM recovery [not normal booting]

In short, help me to root and install a custom rom plz [in detail]
[LG Optimus G Pro] NaveenKumarXDA:
1. Use towel root for rooting purpose.

2. there is an apk in some thread to let you install CWM. search for it.

3. Yes. wait for update or use workaround given in point 2.

4. May be you did not turn off security in LG via freegee earlier. That is needed for normal flash.

Use towel root - it is best & simplest at the moment. :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] Vinodh SN:
Thank u.... I have another doubt.. When using jelly bean 4.1.2 I first rooted with kingo software and installed freegee for CWM. Everything was success but freegee did not have the option "UNLOCK MY PHONE" .. y is that?? :eek::rolleyes::eek::rolleyes:
[LG Optimus G Pro] NaveenKumarXDA:
latest version does that automatically. No need to select. Just install recovery.

Help to flash custom rom!!

hi all,

I have E988 20c , I have rooted it using towelroot and installed CWM 6.0.4.7 using freegee. Now I want to flash a custom rom.

Please guide me to follow the general method or steps to flash any custom rom on my device, so that it wont give any signal or network problem as I have read in many posts about network or signal failure. :confused::confused:

And tell me also about baseband or modem, is it same?? And which custom roms should i try first?? :fingers-crossed:;):p

Please help!!

Thanks in advance... :fingers-crossed::p;):cowboy:
[LG Optimus G Pro] guitarboy021:
Well you wont need to flash a modem unless a thread specifically asks you to and even then it's mainly for ATT phones I guess. Try cyanogenmod 12. Dont go for 11 since both are still nightlies. Just go on the cm website and or use google and search for cm 12 and download the latest nightly.. Which is 12.1 then download gapps 5.1 which is compatible with 12.1. I guess 5.0 will also work bt id rather not take risk.

Anyway so before u do flash, make a backup. Store it on your pc or a pendrive. Keep the files, i.e. cm12 and gapps, in your internal storage. Dont put it in any folder.

Reboot into recovery then wipe data and cache. Then flash cm12 abd then gapps. You can wipe dalvik cache too but thats optional though it is recommended. Reboot and wait till it turns on.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Pearl@ndroid:
hi,

Thanks for the info. :good::fingers-crossed: Can you also tell CM 12 don't have any issues like bluetooth or wifi??

And, can I use the same process of flashing any rom on my device??

Which all other roms are compatible to my device, any rom which has the tablet UI feature ( PACRom etc)??

Thanks in Advance...:silly::cowboy::o
[LG Optimus G Pro] guitarboy021:
Cm12 and 11, both are still in nightly stage. Therefore you can expect some bugs.

Yes if u have a custom rec u can but someone told me twrp is a bit buggy so it could cause some problems. Cant rlly say..

And as for the roms.. You have to check google bro, if i was u id stick with cm12. I dont like all the mods ..just sleek and simple cm.

Hey i had it too. If u still have the zip file in ur sd.. Try turning ur phone off completely. Hold volume up and power button till the lg logo appears then press volume down button twice whilst holding then other two buttons then you'll get to rec and you can flash that zip.

You have to be fast because if the lg logo disappears and you dont press the vol down button it goes back into bootloop. You have to be fast and specific.
