Well as the thread says why don't we ask a LG ROM builder. There's a article in android.central that says +Ricardo Cerqueira is a LG mastermind and has worked with LG flagship phones. Maybe if enough of us ask him he will probably help. I'd be willing to donate to get this going.

I mean if someone could get through to him and see if he's up for it, wouldn't mind helping out. Would love to see CM7 or something on this Optimus. Although, I am content with the current setup I got going.
Do you know his username here, or he goes by that name? I'd be willing to shoot him a PM or two to request for his help.
No I only got his Google+ from an article on Android central

Well, I guess the best thing to do is not to spam him with requests. First, i think you should try reaching out to him and see if he will respond back to you. Then if he feels the need to see how many people are eager, then we will join in to request.
I am already trying to reach out to some Devs that have helped us over at the Atrix Forum, and hopefully they will be willing to spend some time helping us. Particularly right now I'm trying to speak with the guy who did CWM for the Atrix.
I would be willing to donate to a dev to get the ball rolling.

Likewise, but let's save that thought until we actually get a developer here to support us. Step 1 is to reach out to as many Devs we know of and kindly requesting their help with our phones.

Default Give nitro credit
XDA made a mistake in a post about Razr bootstrap. Apparently Nitro was given credit by the OP but not XDA author. Please XDA correct this and at least show Nitro that you have heard what was said. Hes too good a dev to lose for something that should be so easy to fix.

This isn't something we are just *****ing about, this was an error made which needs to be corrected. Nitro and all the Dev's do this work for free and they should be given credit when something like this is written up.

Well, hallo there!
It's been a while since I've posted a release thread on XDA... I've been lurking in the shadows (and on IRC) for quite some time.
Here, I present to you a teaser of things to come:
ClockworkMod Recovery (non-touch) 6.0.1.5 for the Sprint Optimus G.
What is this?
This is a "recovery" for your phone, it allows you to install custom ROMs, back up your phone, fix it when it breaks, and much more.
This specific version is "ClockworkMod", which was created by the CyanogenMod team and Koush.
There are many recovery versions out there, I have picked ClockworkMod because it is very easy to compile and debug.
I will compile other recoveries as time permits.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Where can I get it?
Please go here to download it: http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/sprint/recoveries/
Note: this is a "tethered" build of CWM, as you can not flash it. You must use fastboot to boot the image every time you wish to enter recovery.
This is due to the locked bootloader on this device.
This will not allow you to install a custom ROM just yet, and please don't ask for custom ROM dates yet. I'm working on it...
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!
This is *not* safe, and should *not* be done by anyone unsure of what they are doing.
I will post links once I have ironed out bugs, but I WILL NOT SUPPORT anyone using it to modify their phone.
Please don't use this if you don't know how to LGNPST your phone back from the dead, should you accidentally kill it.

Special thanks to user Shelnutt2 for helping me test this on the Sprint variant.
Here's a pic of it running on his Optimus G:
And, here's a video for extra proof
Luckily the video quality isn't potato, but the audio sure is. My explanation is that my HTC Vivid doesn't like me. An engineer's explanation would be that I was speaking softly, as it was 1:30AM at the time of recording, and the phone merely decided that my meek volume was purely background noise... at least, I think that's what an engineer would say, as I haven't graduated yet.

SPECIAL THANKS!
Here's my favorite section of an XDA post: the "special thanks to" section.
Without the help of these awesome people, I would have nothing of interest to say, and would just be a random guy with a phone.
Seriously, these guys are awesome.
Here's the list (in no special order, and by IRC name):
Shelnutt2

xboxfanj
jonasl
kmdm
synergy
DeamonFish
chachin
..and Zanzibar (because why not?!)
If I've forgotten anyone, please let me know-- I want to make sure everyone who had a hand in this gets a shout-out.
Please, support these awesome people if you get a chance, or drop by the IRC channel and say hi

How can I contact you?
Need to get a hold of me, or anybody else? Come on IRC -- just go to http://webchat.freenode.net and use #lg-optimus-g as the channel name. Pick a nice nickname and say Hi
I'm IOMonster on IRC, and if I'm around, just say my name and I'll probably say hi back.

fastboot is the same as with the AT&T varient, aka oem unlock does nothing.
Great work
This is a great start. I can not thank you enough. Like someone mentioned in the petition thread, even if you are not planning to buy this device, please sign the petition for lg to unlock the phone. We need to get a culture of unlocked bootloaders going. Again thanks for the good work
Thanks for the share.. works great.
Does this mean the bootloader is unlock?
Hallowed Is The Sader
At this point no the bootloader is not unlocked though I wish it were I so want this phone but I'm going to wait for a few days and see if they make more progress

Y'all know about the quiet before the storm?

Trust me.
If you were in IRC today, you know what I mean. If not, just wait a few days. We've got very exciting news. (Please, no PM's asking what/how/why just yet.)
Extra special thanks to IRC user g33k3r for stepping up and risking his device many times, Shelnutt2 for being awesome, and Vitaligent for an awesome new boardname.
Sprint Optimus G is codenamed the "geehrc", ATT's is the "geeb".
We're changing it.
Sprint is now the "jeebusc" and ATT is the "jeebus".
Expect some XDA silence for a few days while we build new kernels.
Has anyone provided the appropriate files for the LG U+ Korean variant (the device I am posting from)?

You guys are simply the best. Thank you so much for your hard work. I can't wait!
I would definitely be willing to provide the appropriate files for the LG U+ Korean variant. However I have never used IRC. If the OP would be willing to PM me instructions I would do my best to get the files to him.
EDIT: No rush, no pressure. I understand that the US domestic carriers are certainly priority in this endeavor, once OP has everything ironed out, perhaps then he may be interested/ willing to include international carriers/ variants.

Recovery Is posted under the download link. I attempted to reboot tethered into recovery you posted, but fastboot doesn't seem to want to detect my device. Lg drivers are installed and debugging is on, any thoughts?
So, here's a quick update:
We've got lots of work to do. We have a _very_ viable avenue for FULL AOSP compatibility.
Right now, us developers need to sit down and talk about some major changes to the phone-- and plan out a 'disaster recovery' scenario, since this is no longer a 'quick modification' of the system, but a full AOSP conversion.
Without saying too much, we have quite a bit of proof to support our theories, and a member of the development team is now running the first build of Android 4.2 on his/her Optimus G with very few issues.
It suffers from the same issues that the Nexus 4 does-- for instance, benchmarks are ~4500 as opposed to the 7500 that have been reported by members of the community.
At this point in time though, we will be working "behind closed doors" for a few days until we can come up with a workable solution to this, as the current method is very long and convoluted, and will cause confusion with the Sprint version.
Since I'm posting this same reply on both of my threads (sprint and ATT), I'll give the Sprint update here too...
We've run into some issues with the Sprint version, although it is possible that they'll be easily rectified here in the coming days. Suffice it to say though that we have made less progress with the Sprint variant than the ATT variant (oddly enough). However, I've got some ideas (*cough cough* GPT partition trickery) that should fix the issue.
As usual-- PLEASE do not message myself of any of the other developers asking for an ETA. I know y'all are anxious, but if you really need to know, just stop by IRC and listen for a few mins, you'll probably hear us chattering away about hex offsets and load addresses in between me and my coworker tending to b0rked RHEL installs and Juniper firewalls.
In regards to LGNPST, look for a writeup here soon... I know it's been a source of frustration to some of you on the IRC channel, however please don't expect that I have a full 4 hours to devote to teaching commandline basics for Windows.
Once again, much thanks goes out to Shelnutt2, g33k3r, ilkinasr92, and xboxfanj for all the hard work.
Expect updates on XDA as they come, as usual.
Peace!
You guys are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Full AOSP support!?!?!? Wow, i had to wait months on my last phone. I can't wait so excited!!
I was recently talking with a fellow xda friend about expanding my developmental work to more/different devices and it was recently suggested that the LG Optimus G would be a good place to start. So, what im asking for is either a lg optimus g phone that someone is willing to donate or an optimus g that someone would like to let me borrow for a bit. I do not believe in 'blind porting' or putting out work for devices that i can not personally test myself to ensure that they are up to par before release. I have been developing for about a year now and have contributed to the Samsung Infuse4g forums during that time. You can check out my work from the links in the signature or by visiting the samsung infuse4g threads. You can also take a look at my source files at http://www.github.com/scotthartbti. Please rest assured that if a phone is donated, I will put in work so that the optimus G community benefits. Please PM me with any questions or concerns you may have.
The problem is, there's quite a few Optimus G out there, so which one do you want? Location is an issue too.
You can get a Optimus G for $300 of Kijiji.

Since im asking for developmental purposes, im not going to be picky... Doesnt really matter... the point of asking for a developmental phone for donation is so that i can develop for the Optimus G and not take a hit in the wallet doing so... Im located in the USA.

I believe he means there a god only knows how many versions of the handset, and they are not completely compatible.
So if you buy an E973 for example, rest 80% Optimus G users will be out.
The best choice, would be the E975 EU model. Im sure, it supports more languages ( i guess ). Its pretty new in EU.
We really need a CM dev or aokp/aosp dev here.
I know LG is knowen for slow updates to their phones. But with some gr8 devs, thats not a problem
Im getting this phone tomorrow and im a bit scared of the lack of devs here. I really hope, there will be some more activity in the devs section soon. Or els im sure im going back to HTC again. This is lg's last chance with me

Thanks for the info. Thats why I started this thread asking for a donator optimus. I have gotten the infuse to the cm10 stage unofficially and have been maintaining it since day one. You guys need developers, find me a phone. That way the community will have more variety and I'll be able to develop on a different device. Check out the infuse forums and you will see that I'm definitely capable.
Hopefully that doesn't come off sounding to cocky.

bump.
I threw up a amazon store on the domain for now.. I'd rather be using it for more root/rom phone related stuff. if anyone has any suggestions or any devs wanting to put their roms on there let me know. Im a web designer so all you really have to do is provite the content. if you're interested pm me or have a better idea for it, let me know that too
another idea I had with it was a wordpress type blog with posts for each new rom, comments sections for each post and also a rating system for polls and each rom. by the time I would get all this started would it be pointless as theres already an LG G2 out?
I can't tell you what to do with it. I can tell you, though, I couldn't figure out for a while what that gibberish before the .com meant.
Hello everybody!
I'm a LG G2 user, but i'm trying to unite all dissatisfied LG users to sign up to my petition, for more informations check my G2 thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/petition-possibility-to-unlock-t2832013) or just read the quote from it:
Hello!
I don't know, maybe someone remembers me from P880 forum
Whatever - in that time the 4X HD had locked bootloader which no one was able to unlock it, so I decided to make a petition about it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852721). We succeed and we could unlock the bootloader via fastboot oem unlock in Jelly Bean update.
Now LG did it again, their G2 and G3 flagships as well as some other devices are locked as hell again. I decided today to reopen my petition and share this message to You guys so maybe we could get the unlockable bootloader again, or at least a way to unlock it like it is for example HTC phones.
Here's the link to the petition:
http://www.change.org/petitions/lg-...opportunity-to-unlock-bootloader-in-lg-phones
Let's have at least some hope for it, so we could get easier development and also G3 development could rise.
My reopened petition has 4031 supporters (for now) so it should be a little visible

You product and sell phones. Group of your customers whishes you to do something you didn't intend to do. It's not a matter of your will - if you agree, you are to measure with thousands of dead phones. On the second hand the "pettitioners" have already bought your products. Will you agree? Of course. NOT!!!!

Could you specify the E980 in the list of devices on the petition. The reason I am asking this is because when Motorola released the bootloader unlocks for their flagship devices the Atrix 2 never got an unlock so I am worried they will do something similar to the users with the E980.
