Okay so i have finally cracked the free space issue and solved it , the issue :- not seeing 32gb usable i.e. 23.3gb usable space

the cause :-

e980 mounts the internal sd as under /sdcard/

e988 mounts the internal sd as under /sdcard/0/

this can only be seen in recovery , strangely when in the os the default "0" is loaded and even if u choose to goto /sdcard/ you cannot it mounts to the "0" location , so the correct way to have the full usable space and the perfect non bloat rom as follows

1.Root and install CWM 6.0.4.4 or 6.0.4.5

2.Download the necessary files -

the CWM restore zip http://boxhost.co.uk/3u0c26iw2dyx/2014-05-19.06.05.14.zip.htm

the baseband zip - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ty1ri9o81ejukx2/AACyCFnq2n3ph5WRclUH3369a

these are all the files you will need

3.place the files correctly , the baseband zip can be placed anywhere in the external sd, the cwm restore MUST be under your EXTERNAL SD card path being /clockworkmod/backup/2014-05-19.06.05.14/

Under that path you should see many files such as boot.img , if not you havent done it right.

4.power off the phone and take out your external micro sd ( this is a must)

5.Hold down the vol down + Power key - it will ask you to hard reset - confirm ( This will wipe out the internal sd )

6.Reboot to recovery by holding the volume up + power key

7.Insert external micro sd card

8.Choose backup & restore and restore from sdcard1 - it will give you and option of only one backup , restore it

9.wipe data , factory reset, wipe dalvik cache

10.install the baseband.zip

10.reboot to system

Enjoy & verify you have connectivity & storage should say Total Space 23.3GB , Available - 23.07 Gb

Tested on my Gpro , would request OP to update this guide , will help many a few.
[LG Optimus G Pro] luisoman2000:
Can confirm this works. I put the restore on my sd when i flashed this rom and didn't have the space issue.
[LG Optimus G Pro] sanumaj:
Is there a way to do this without having to reset and lose all my data? Can i restore my own cwm backup of this ROM using your procedure?
[LG Optimus G Pro] luisoman2000:
You could try advance restore and only restore system. Maybe that could work.
[LG Optimus G Pro] cletusarrarr:
you can do this without hard resetting , it will work , but you may end up losing some storage during the migration , better to hard reset and then proceed to ensure a clean install

its the best way to go about and will minimize/ zero down chances of bugs cause of the same.

help please

i live in Panama and i have the version e98010k and i am stuck wirh 4.1.2, its rooted and free of at&t crapware but freegee doesn't give me the option to unlock and i has been a pain in the ass look for this particular model for kitkat other threads here are not well explained even this is not well explain i click in the link for flash this tdz and are so confusing and i have been downloading zip and tdz and i don't have a fast internet just 4 mb.

if i go to update software it says that i have the last software :confused:

i am not so noob i have my knowledge cuz i have root motorolas samsung sony but i have never been stuck with a particular software model
[LG Optimus G Pro] luisoman2000:
Freeger wont. Let you unlock bootloader but will allow to install a custom recovery which is all you need. Afterwards follow the guide. Remember to back up your efs partition.
[LG Optimus G Pro] tonochito:
so i just need to flash the zip file that is around there to install kitkat?
[LG Optimus G Pro] luisoman2000:
Yup. Follow the instructions.
[LG Optimus G Pro] tonochito:
do you have a good link? i have tried with one and at the end i get a unknow red error and the file its to big 2 gb
[LG Optimus G Pro] luisoman2000:
I used the one on this thread. The file itself is a backup so you wont exactly flash it. Follow the instructions in the instalation post.

Hello everyone,

Initially I bought this soft brick OG Pro e980 (with Locked Stock Recovery Mode) at Craiglist and flashed at At&t Kitkat tot file but often failed at 3% but my phone is now stuck at KOT49I.E98020g (Unlocked Stock Recovery Mode) but my factory reset still got an error.

I tried flashing a KDZ method of e988 and got persistent error during 4% and im now stuck only on download mode with no more stock recovery.

I tried back flashing the at&t kitkat tot file in still only reaches at 11 % and failed error and im now currently stuck on download mode only.

Can anyone suggest a fix or trick in my situation ?

Im so frustrated on my percentage error that Im so confused why it will not progress to 100 %.
[LG Optimus G Pro] tonochito:
ok again me i tried to flash it but when i get into download mode nothing happens i don't know if it windows 8.1 update one has something wrong or what. It so frustating for me doesn't have kitkat :crying:

hello everyone,

How do I restore my phone model name e980 after flashing a e988 kdz?

For example, when I flashed a Kitkat e980 tot file, LG Flash Tool 1.8 says repeatedly "wrong phone model or wrong dll"

LG Mobile Support tool now recognize my phone as e988. Holy Guacamole!
[LG Optimus G Pro] luisoman2000:
you could edit the build.prop, thing is im not sure which line you have to edit.
[LG Optimus G Pro] souleater11:
Thanks for the suggestion.

Do you know any thread where you can refer me for more info?

Anyone facing issue with High Battery Drain because of Google Services on this ROM ?

Below services are listed under Google Service in battrey consuming items ..

Google Backup Transport

Google Account Manager

Google Service Framework

google Contacts Sync

Google Play services

Because of these services CPU isn't sleeping resulting in Phone battery drainin very fast.. like 60% in 5-6 hours without usage.

Anyone facing similar issue .. (I have latest Google services installed as Google apps dont work without latest services... )
[LG Optimus G Pro] jwilliamf:
You know you can disable sync on a lot of google ****!

I don't like google to be snoozing on my contacts so I export my contact on sd card. I have contact sync disable as well so may other like google photo, google+ photo, memo, people details, sheets, wallet, picasa web albums. I disable sync on all that and never have battery drainin on my phone.

[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
I've been running the stock E980 rom for about a week now and the phone just doesn't sleep, especially with wifi on. It will sleep for about an hour or two, then Android OS just starts sucking the battery and no more sleep. I'm also getting lots of "wlan_" wakelocks. It overheats at times too, and battery drains like crazy. I'm sick of it! I'm reading here that people are having good/normal battery life with this version, so I'm trying it out.

Anyway, I just restored this E988 version to my phone via the backup file. Now I have some questions and problems, so I'd appreciate any help in answering them:

1) I did the restore and once done, I did the factory reset option while still in CWM.

As soon as I booted up the phone, I got a few weird texts...

The first I got twice from the same number. It says (I'm censoring the numbers):

"[some long number] Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code. Number: [my phone number] Operator: 310410 () Serial:"

(it just stops after that)

The second message I also got twice, but from two different numbers. Both numbers are different from the number I got the above message from:

"Number: [my phone number]

Operator: 310410 () Serial:

[My phone's serial number] IMSI: [some long number] CID: [a shorter number] LAC: [a 5-digit number] Battery: 34+%"

What are these and do I have anything to be concerned about? (Like, is my phone not going to receive calls or something?)

2) I can't seem to flash the BM9615A baseband/modem. It says it completes, but I see no changes under About Phone. It just still says APQ8064T-MDM9X15M. I want to make sure I install a modem that will definitely not give me wakelock issues like on my ATT rom.

Should I even bother?

I'm running the "G Pro Recovery for Kitkat" that's installed via an apk file (NOT the FreeGee version or the 2nd init apk version). Sorry, i don't have the link right now.

3) What is Cerberus? I plan to remove it with Titanium Backup, but what it is it? (It's expired too).
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitchb:
The texts are from the Cerberus security software that was installed by whoever created the image. I believe it tries to send them as a security measure once the phone boots up. Yes, delete Cerberus using Titanium Backup because who knows what it's trying to report back. The person who created the image said it was an honest mistake leaving it installed when they made the CWM backup, but it's still bad form to have something that attempts to reports back automatically. Just remove it.

I also installed that modem and have the same baseband version showing as you. I don't believe it makes a difference. I had good signal and battery before I installed it, and continue to after install.
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
Good to know, thank you very much.

I froze Cerberus for now since i didn't know what it was, but will be deleting it completely using TiBU (it's a system file).

So far, my phone is working beautifully! I've been having hte "Android OS battery consumption bug" for about 2 weeks now and so far, Android OS is actually nowhere to be seen on the battery consumption list!

I'm VERY happy now!

PS: I reported the bug to both ATT and LG. ATT got stumped after I told them that I factory reset multiple times (go figure) and they forwarded me to LG. LG took my bug report and actually told me that they weren't sure about what bugs were being reported about the ATT KK 4.4.2 firmware exactly, but there ARE known bugs and they are working on a new version. (No ETA).

My money says it will be 4.4.4 since 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 are notoriously buggy, especially on the Nexus devices.

I am running stock at&t kitkat e980

Can I download the G Pro Kitkat Recovery app? and install CM rom? My e980 is already rooted. I tried doing it, but when I performed a factory reset through the g pro kitkat recovery app the phone was only booting into recovery and seems that I completely wiped the system. I had to flash the TOT file all over again.

Installing Custom Recovery on LG E980 will not work. CWM recognizing lg e980 as F240L

BE AWARE of this.

Many thanks. I have followed the steps and converted my E980 to E988 with Kit Kat. No a single problem was encountered. Excellent work.Thanks you.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Perry2547:
Aww thanks bro.

Your instructions are clear and I was able to get her working with little hassle.

(The OGP is not a phone for men of little patience.)

On a sidenote: I found that I was losing root so what I did was put a zip of supersu in my internal storage and any time I go into recovery, the last thing I do is flash it again.

Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.

I tried following hyelton steps on my AT&T E980 running software version E98020g running KitKat, After reading your post at "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2754294&highlight=e980h" I was tried installing "India E98810E_00.kdz" downloaded from link posted by hyelton as suggested.

Infact I am able to root my E980, but when I connect to LG Flash tool(Downloaded from the link hyelton provided) the error I get is connection "problem with communication between Cell Phone and PC".

In my first attempt my phone was not rooted and Developer mode was not "ON"

Tried couple of times after reboots on PC installed drivers as required.

Could it be because of mismatch from the version i am trying to install (E98010E_00.kdz) compared to one mentioned in the forwarding post (E98820A_00.kdz). Or I should know something else.

I also read that their is some TOT method to do it and was also able to connect my phone E980, but I am missing the .TOT or .dz files and could not find one. Any help you could will be huge help.

Yes I am new and trying it first time because of my comfort with Android Stock.

Appreciate your help.

Hi guys, I got a nerve racking situation with the Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped. Then my phones turns off. Interesting thing: this only happens when I connect to a Wifi spot or when I have my SIM in. If I turn off Wifi and have no SIM in, I can use the phone with no problem.

Actually I have been using the ROM described here for a while, until I took out my SIM for a few moments. Then it started happening.

I have LG E988. I did flash the 4.4.2, although I didn't do the modem thing.

As I said, until I took out the SIM, both calls and everything worked perfectly well.

What I tried so far:

-Fix permissions

-Reset app defaults

-Clear cache

Thanks for any help!!!

Sorry folks, but it was early morning in my country and had my first day of school in my new college, then could not continue uploading the zip.

I hope this online and, starting this afternoon and is in line with respect to the comment that I made modem steps friend [MENTION=4228806]chochweet[/MENTION] to run around with a single blow and worked as the network thought that the modem was contained in such system and not I put mind.

In terms of size, weighs 1.56GB zip so patience because my internet is 3.5-4Mbps, I hope it all works for them well, smoothly and the best stock ROM (not counting the Panamanian JB).
