hi folks! :D

im interesting in all that development, my friend have this phone and is to hard to mod a bit :crying:

we are from Argentina, here the phone comes with TV anthena.

For the moment i can make a full backup using MTK tools and now im making other with adb pull

i hope u can do some rom port for this phone.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] IGGYVIP:
hi guys i'm personally very busy developing for e430

i made this thread for the sole purpose that you have your space on forum most related to your phone and easy to find using google

by struck of luck i have seen the resemblance with L5 II and i was helping to develop the recovery for that so all of you have it now

you can have look at my e430 thread and see what has to be done in order to start any development

as your device is mtk you might encounter little more trouble but have look if you can "get bootloader loki support"<---GOOGLE THIS

i will try to help and overlook but please do not count on me to do all what's needed (i do not have your device or any other mtk device of my own so i'm blind in that field )

Thanks for taking time to read

if any of you have anything valuable to add to #1 please let me know and i will update (i need ready formatted text to copy and paste (use the pm service to structure it as you want it to be posted))
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] teoesdios:
Thanks Iggy. Will check that and see what we can find out. :good:

Esa! Argentino viviendo en Mexico aca :) I've got the LG E440g here, but it's without TV or dual sim.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Dr Matt:
jaja buenisimo man! ojala puedas hacer algo para este cel que no encuentro nada :victory:

now i install CWM-recovery from L5, but i cant do a backup, just fails when the process start, so its safe try to install a flasheable zip by this cwm or not?

because i have the whole app folder deodex and i want to test it on the phone
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] teoesdios:
Yeah, for some reason, you can't backup from CMWR, but you can use Nandroid to do it.

After your backup, flash away. We tested it with the LG Aroma (first post on the thread) and works on flashing.

Try yours and post results.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] nasko_spasko:
Think It's because of incorrect partition layout.. if this depends from recovery somehow, I used to play with both L5II and L4II at the same time and noticed dat the layout in android-scatter is different /start-end addresses differs in both devices/.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Danchiman:
Buenas! otro argentino por aca, con el LG L4 II tv e465g , es la version del e440g que se vende en argentina, hasta ahora el root y el cwm al parecer son los que funcionan en el L4 e440 y el L5 , estoy tratando de conseguir mas seguridad antes de probarlo, no puedo correr tanto riesgo de llegar a brickearlo :P

Ok i let it compile last night... Slow PC :D. And i will test tonight after i come back from work.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] nasko_spasko:
Strange.. I have built the boot.img with zImage compiled from the official kernel source code provided by LG and original ram disk, but got Security Error - same as flashing custom one, strange thing is that the security error png picture is located in the kernel ramdisk, that's why I used to think it is a kernel security issue, not BL.. Am I missing something.. how exactly things work? bootloader send secutity flag on/off to kernel and kernel boots or fails depending on what bootloader commands, if not - that means the LK bootloader is checking the boot image and reads png file directly from ramdisk before the kernel loads, could someone help me understand what is the algorithm of the boot sequence?

Edit@17:29: I've found out what is going on, not kernel related, at least i tried. We need BOOTLOADER source code.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] tasosss:
Hello people.I suppose that this is the main post for lg e440.My main question is how can i help?Can i start by downloading the sources from lg and trying to compile the kernel?It would be nice to know the current status and any tips on how to for example compile the kernel so i can save some time.Any ideas are welcome.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] nasko_spasko:
Hello, tasosss!

Right now, compiling kernel from source, does not make any progress, because we have to modify the bootloader in order to boot both custom recovery or kernel. The thing is LG have not provided bootloader source yet or at least engineering version of it, so... our only option for now is porting

LOKI Bootloader Bypass

to our device, google for it.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] IGGYVIP:
:)

someone has to get lucky trying to unlock / create unsecured boot.img and cwm using mtkdroidtools

guys i have no device to try myself but recently i have unocked one of them china mtk devices (ALPS - M3) it had some errors i had to flash some random rom for same board (not ported or nothing just flashed it because board is same ) i had few fc's but all in all working

now i have unlocked device with custom rom and cwm :D

many versions of mtkdroid tools did not do it it was trial and error i had about 10 versions of mtkdroidtools and only one accepted my boot.img as base

anyway thats from me this week

Keep up the good work and keep on pushing and spamming lg :D
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] IGGYVIP:
??

anyone here has this device that's a devphone ?*not a daily use mobile
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] teoesdios:
You mean that in "theory" it should work on E440/g (or derivates from that)?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] nasko_spasko:
Well I as stupid enough to try, doesn't work, now mine is bricked :D

And cant get in preloader mode for more than 1-2 sec. - not enough for resurrection flash with spflash tool, i used to revive my device that way b efore but now does not enter preloader mode for long enough i think it reboots because of messed bootloader. Mine is dead for now.

This is actually the 2-nd time i brick my device with messed bootloader, i hope i will manage to bring it back to life again

Edit: Hahaa it is working again!!!!! you guys don't try different LK bootloader, or you are gonna have a lot of pain. i barely managed to resurrect it, used LGOFW tool to bring the preloader up for flashtool and used modded mt6575 driver, you guis better don't do it like me :D
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] TheMysteryouse:
New Rom hopefully

So guys soon there will be a new rom so stay tuned, it will be awesome :D
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] kimerika:
in that would be awesome
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] IGGYVIP:
:)

in theory yes maybe one of the old versions or maybe an up-coming update of MDT should do it :)

lol i had a same scare...

bootloader tries are fine its the kernel that must match board (so no overpower is sent to components) and preloader must be original

Sorry i should have mentioned before

VERY IMPORTANT IN ALL MTK's

NEVER FLASH UNKNOWN OR UN-TESTED PRELOADER PARTITION​

*that's the one that boots-up for flashing

if unsure simply do not check or remove the pre-loader image from rom (very often you will find them in form of backup from MDT to use with spflashtool)

Hi, again!

Look what I've found! I guess i am not the only one... look at theese markings looks interesting... This device's bootloader SUPPORTS fastboot, recovery_check and bypassing recovery check, so someone aware of bootloader building from non LG source?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] IGGYVIP:
:D

whoa u have fastboot on original bootloader ? :D

try

adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem-unlock

and if lucky confirm the prompt :)

(on my e430 there was no fastboot at all before flashing custom bootloader here if you have it there is a chance :D)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] nasko_spasko:
I can tell you now without tests, it's not going to work, i tried this before, what I ment to say is that bootloader suports fastboot, it is just disabled on the device.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] IGGYVIP:
give it a go anyway

it takes 10 second to copy paste and check so might aswel :)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] nasko_spasko:
there is no fastboot device i have more than one android phone here and drivers etc. are ok, infact I'm a Linux user... no fastboot device is found sorry, my other devices work... I tried to contact LG many times for help for BL unlocking, but no success so far...

I'll keep on looking/searching/reading/testing. So that's it from me. ;)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] fable2:
just wanna say that i appreciate the work you guys are doing, just don't give up and keep trying :)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Paul!us:
Fellow users, I decided to check out the L5 CWM you found. Everything went great with the installation of the recovery (no errors), but if I try to enter it by pressing VOL+ I receive the following error:

fail to open atci-ril socket. errno:2

Maybe it's because of a different version of my phone (rooted before the latest OTA update).

Baseband: 11AMDW1222_TC1_SP.W13.12

Software: E44010b-EUR-XX

I'm still trying my best in unlocking the bootloader, let's hope that someone from our masses will be lucky enough to succeed.

i rooted my phone and everything was ok... i used it for a while..

then i installed Font installer and tried to change font.. after i installed

some font the app asked to reboot and i did.

and thats the last thing i did because ever since that i couldnt turn on my phone

completely. recovery mode (vol- + home + power button ) didnt help.

after i launch recovery everything is the same. animated lg logo with sound keeps repeating :crying:

im noobie in all this and please explain simply.

is there anything i can do :(
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] teoesdios:
Do you know how to make a KDZ flashing? It would leave your phone like brand new, but there is no "vol- + home + power button" for recovery.

I would really recomend a full flash, using a KDZ file. If you don't know how, tell and I will make some tutorial for you :)

For the USB, you don't need more drivers than you already have. You have to put yout phone in Download mode when it asks (home + vol down + power) and you will see in the screen DOWNLOAD MODE un the bottom.

Hello everybody,

I recently got my LG L4 E440 phone which I then realized had android 4.1.2. I was really hoping that LG would update to 4.3 or 4.4 but that's obviously not happening. All I want is a newer version of android and without all the LG software that came with my phone and that it would work normally and be able to use debug and stuff like that. I have never installed a custom rom on a phone before so I don't know how it's done. I did however root it with vroot (because that was soooooo hard to do xD). I hope you guys find a solution to installing a custom rom on this phone.

PS: I registered only to post this :P
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] teoesdios:
You will have to wait, there's no custom rom for this phone yet. Still working on getting the bootloader unlocked.

[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] teoesdios:
Check previous posts, We talked about it. Still couldn't unlock bootloader, LG isn't helping and we are still working on it. Meaning, don't wait infront of your screen for a custom rom to appear. Try to make one, test it.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] slojanko:

Guys I know its hard to find a way to unlock the bootloader but remember, everything is possible ;) We just need to get as many information as possible about the kernel and that stuff, so everything you have post it here, it can help the other one :D ( Just a little motivation ;D)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] slojanko:
Right now I'm in a bit of a mess here. When connected to pc in recovery mode, I can't change permission to files (at least not with the commands I tried). Device isn't found in download mode. Can't get it to start because of boot loop... Any ideas? I found the stock rom for my phone but that's about it. How do I use it?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] teoesdios:
Read above. For download mode, you have to turn your phone off, press VOL + and VOL - together, hold them and plug the cable until the pc recognize it. You will see DOWNLOAD MODE in your phone's screen. To use the stock rom, search in this thread the KDZ Flashing guide.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] IGGYVIP:

7. UPDATE YOUR KDZ NOW :)

8. navigate to phone settings and security and preform wipe/master reset (not obligatory but ensures "clean rom" )

​

Enjoy your NEW OLD phone :D
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] slojanko:
I've tried this program before but I always get this:

When I'm in download mode, " adb get-state " returns unkown. On the other hand, It returns recovery when in recovery mode.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] teoesdios:
Check in the Task manager if theres a ADB already running when doing this. Then try again. Happens to me sometimes, adb keeps running in the back and doesn't let you connect
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] slojanko:
Tried with and without adb already running. Same result
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] teoesdios:
Turn phone COMPLETLY OFF. Install this drivers: http://www.mediafire.com/download/3abpb615gui103d/LGUnitedMobileDriver_S498MA22_WHQL_ML_Ver_2.2.exe

Plug phone and wait for recognition.Then try again.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] slojanko:
These weren't the latest drivers. I tried them, same result. This time when I went into download mode, it didn't list my phone as LGAndroidNet but as MT65xx Preloader. When I first connected my phone it couldn't install 2/3 drivers. The 2 that failed were trying to be installed with windows update.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] IGGYVIP:
ok ...

adb has nothing to do with it ..

1 remove any program to do with android, lg, mtk, adb or any else to do with phone from uninstall manager on your pc

2 download and install THIS

3 using this program remove/uninstall anyusb device that has to do with android, lg, mtk, adb or any else to do with phone

4 download drivers from link i provided in guide

5 download program i gave in guide

6 ensure you are following the steps

*the battery out is crucial for this to work

7 wait for driver to install *you can skip finding driver from microsoft update as its useless and doesnt work

8 report back if your pc see's the phone and if it does then flash :D
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] slojanko:
Same thing, phone not found.

Good News guys. The rom that i am working should be till the end of the day done :D . Oh and just one little spoilers : If you like the LG G3, you will like this rom :D
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] IGGYVIP:
Hmmm

I will answer here not in PM so if anybody has same problem they can read too :)

are you sure that no port is detected ?

if you have device manager open on pc and you plug your phone in download mode does device manager window flash/move/update(any screen movement) at all ?

i think i need a recap .

can you access recovery ?

can you get adb access in any mode ?

in what modes will your phone power on ? (safe/emergency mode/download/normal/wipe )

also can u run attached tool Dbgview.exe when trying to update using kdz then save the output log from program and post here :)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] slojanko:
Here's what changes when connected while in download mode:

I can only boot into recovery and download. Recovery allows me to do adb commands while download doesn't.

I don't understand why it sets port to -1. Is that meant to check all ports that are connected?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] IGGYVIP:
:)

ok :)

just disable the modem and try flashing kdz using my guide :)

some people across forums mentioned that they had to disable it to flash

EDIT

the debug program will tell us in detail why it failed fo flash or find phone
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] slojanko:
Modem driver disabled doesnt change a thing. The debug program said that something connected. If you can, compare these folders to yours.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] IGGYVIP:
hmm

i don't have the device but it looks fine

please paste output of debug program from beginning to end thats the only way for me to know what happened wrong

use www.hastebin.com as its the fastest i know of :)

nice to see someone's showing some love for the LG L4, maybe it's just me or there's not much plp working on this device.

btw ima a noob at android so i'm wondering where should i start before messing with my phone. my idea would be to get a better performance in games/big apps.

PS: if this post shouldnt be here, my apologies. if you are willing to share your knowledge and help to get the most of my phone, i'd highly appreciate it.

in the meanwhile gonna check if there's noobs guides to learn the basics of ADB, recoveries, bootloaders and god knows what else
