...Nexus 4
The Optimus G looks awesome but I am on the fence on buying this because of LG's track record of updating their devices and lock bootloaders. But since the Optimus G is what the Nexus 4 is based off of, will development be a lot smoother than Lg's other phones? I am coming from the Epic 4G and they had some great development over there because of the close resemblance to the Nexus S. I am hoping this will be the case for the Optimus G.
What are your thoughts?
If we can get around the bootloader I think it will be. Assuming we can and I get it, I'll do some development. (I did some over at sdx for awhile).
I contacted lg about that and this was their response
No, at this time the bootloader is locked and there are no plans for the release of a developer edition.

"At this time"...maybe they'll rethink it. :/
I've been wondering the same thing. My EVO 4G is long past its prime and I'm trying to decide between the Optimus G and the GS3, since the Nexus 4 isn't getting CDMA anytime soon.
The GS3 already has a great development community, but the LGOG has much more potential if the bootloader gets unlocked.

*sigh* I really hope we can get the bootloader unlock. I think LG purposely responded like that to sway you into buying it. They want sales afterall and will most likely imply that they will unlock it when they won't.

Exactly, I was about to get the GS3 for the development on it. But if we can just get the bootloader unlock, the LGOG can be just as great.

Are there any news about that? I would really like to buy the Optimus G, especially after what happened with the Nexus 4...
But I definitely can't take another Optimus Speed like update oddysey. 1 month after the official Google update is out should be the maximum time, until Cyanogenmod or AOSP is running on the Optimus G.
The next question would be: If I order it from the US, which model will work in Germany?

The bootloader will get unlocked, I'm pretty sure about that.
I'm more concerned with the updates, because always waiting for LG to upload the source won't work for me, as we all know how long that can take... Or is this no concern with the Snapdragon and the fact that the G is pretty close to the Nexus 4?

I'm pretty sure we can use the same source of the Nexus 4, beside the camera and LTE, our hardware is basically the same. Like I said, the only real problem will be getting LTE and camera working on custom roms.

If I'm not mistaken, LTE is already embedded into the code for AOSP roms like Cyanogenmod and AOKP, so there won't be a total, ground-up code write like there was for WiMax drivers. I could easily be wrong about this, but from following the AOSP progress on my own device and on the SGS3, LTE progress has seemed to go a LOT faster than WiMax ever did. Then again, it could be because maintainers could use code build from other devices (i.e. ATT One X, VZ/ATT SGS3) and it'd fairly easily transfer, since the radios utilized were the same.

Hello,
I obtained a system dump off the AT&T unit, and I believe I have a workable root method for it. Needing a tester. Any volunteers with review/early units?

If you can get custom recovery, root, and all that jazz going on the Optimus g I will buy it and give you money. I have been sitting on my Inspire 4G until quad krait with really new and not just die shrunk adreno became available. Optimus g seems to be the ticket to turbo town if you can enable my scrubbing of at&t's bloatware and some aosp loving.

Roms will not be 100% compatible across the three. There will be a couple changes necessary such as kernel and radio drivers (ril) that would need to change,but for the most part, yes, development will be the same. If I get it, I can make flashable patches to run a rom from other variants.
As of now, lg says they won't unlock the bootloader and since its not out everywhere, no one has cracked it yet,but give it time and it will.

So you have a working root for AT&T LG Optimus G? Im getting mine on release date.
http://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensource.jsp
Category is "Mobile Phones" and search for "LS970"
Oddly there are two different versions. Even more oddly, searching for "970" (the generic number for the Optimus G) the Sprint version is the only one available, even though the International and AT&T versions have already been released.
I don't suppose this will help much in getting the bootloader unlocked but good to have at least. Will be useful if we do. No one is worse than HTC about releasing source.

Most devices don't get the resources that sextape gave us, so they rely on guesswork primarily. We are very lucky to have thecubed also who is doing all of the actual unlocking and has experience with lg devices and bootloaders.

I'm assuming that if one gets unlocked, then the process for unlocking the other variants will be fairly the same if not the exact same. So if one gets unlocked, then they should all be able to be unlocked, assuming that all of the variants are locked down the same. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.
Awesome. I really wanted a Nexus 4 but I guess I'll settle for it's step brother.

I don't think it's a problem. I have a Nexus 7 with a sealed battery and I've never had to worry about it. Any times that it completely locked up (including while in fastboot), I can hard reset it by holding all the buttons down for a while.

Wait what? Unlocked bootloader for AT&T version is available? Sorry, been out of the loop, this new excites me!
There has been significant progress on both the ATT and Sprint models, check the development threads in each of those respective sub-forums. Hopefully some of that will spill over into the international section here as well.
Not available. Not yet. But you can actually follow the development of it. And something might be happening tonight in the next 3-4 hours.

Looking forward to getting this phone for sure. I love my GNex, but the new nexus 4 just didn't tick my boxes the right way.

I couldn't wait. I just ordered it Plus I got them to get it to me for $49 after a $50 MIR. Sounds like a fair price to me.

I was in the same boat. Though it looks more and more like there's just att and sprint development. Nothing at all for canadian version. And who knows if there will be any development. Ah well there's always a place to sell my phone and get an N4 if I get tired of it. Lol.
Sent from my LG-E971 using xda app-developers app
I am in the same boat (living in Canada), I want this phone too and the N4 didnt really do it for me besides the timely updates and being the first to get them. With the Optimus G being practically the same phone as the N4 I am very tempted to get this but without development for it, it is pretty much the only thing keeping me back from getting it.
I got the telus variant, and god this thing is blazing fast!
And, the bloatware from telus is realy kept to a minimum, only one link to download the app that recommends some apps. So, if you don't want any, you don't have any!
The interface is pretty much like the Samsung's one, but better. The additions of nice features like the menu on the drop down menu, the apps on the lock screen, things like that are pretty usefull. And, they put a backup utilities it there, nice touch!
the unlocked bootloader will bring most likely more fun and more open roms, but as of now, the stock rom is pretty good!
I am remaining hopeful that the development for this phone will come. The developer, or one of them, "thecubed" who put together the "FreeGee" exploit to unlock the bootloader has stated in his thread that the Canadian, and Korean variants will be next to get the treatment. In that order as well. Just a matter of time I think.

If you have the Telus version can you please check the ATT forum and thread about the bootloader unlock, they want someone to dump the Canadian ROM and send it to them so they can work on the unlock... instructions are in the thread and on IRC.

After you root you can install the ClockWorks Mod recovery from an apk app from the international version at the following link;

Stll waiting for bootloader unlock, uploaded image to Freegee.
Thanks again for the root info. I can confirm it is working for me as well as the Xposed framework. I've been playing around with the dpi settings and I can't believe how sharp everything is even after lowing down the dpi. One thing I don't like about the screen is that I have some light bleeding near the edge of the display. Nothing major but just a little annoying when the screen is showing a black image.
I can confirm as well that the Optimus G root method worked without any problems on my OG Pro.

Coming from Samsung and Sony there were always many great ROMS available for the phones.
It looks like there's already a new phone in LGs scope which will come out soon.
(And there's also the locked Bootloader we have here - which might get opened sometime?)
What do you think about the LG G4?
Will developers skip the phone and directly proceed to the newer phone?
Will we ever see so much support like for the other phones (Samsung, Sony,...)?
What are your opinions?
Once the boot loader gets opened for everybody then i think we will see Roms.
Verstuurd vanaf mijn LG-H815 met Tapatalk
Based on how popular the G2 & G3 seemed to be (and really still are) I am sure once we gain the ability to flash ROMs they will start to flow our way. Even with the G4 Pro coming in December (allegedly) I do not think that will slow down the development for us, it will just give the Devs one more device to play with.
(We still have ROMs for both versions of the S6/S6 Edge and the Note 4/Note Edge)
Sooner or later yeah. But first people need root and ability to flash roms.

International version can already be unlocked, rooted and has twrp availible. I am quite confident that there will be developement done. But the device is quite new so let the devs some time.

Coming from Samsung and Sony there were always many great ROMS available for the phones.
It looks like there's already a new phone in LGs scope which will come out soon.
(And there's also the locked Bootloader we have here - which might get opened sometime?)
What do you think about the LG G4?
Will developers skip the phone and directly proceed to the newer phone?
Will we ever see so much support like for the other phones (Samsung, Sony,...)?
What are your opinions?

Not getting root on the G4, so no.

...stop trolling dude. We're going to have root. It's already there. Devs are waiting for a safe release first.

It sounds to me like someone is trying to make himself feel better about not having a G4.
....As was already stated we already have Root Access, it is just a matter of waiting for it to be released to the GenPop via a safer method.

"We" don't have root yet. Yes there are a couple of devs that were able to root a phone, after bricking their first phone. While it is highly likely that there will be a root method released to the masses, there is no guarantee that everyone will get root access. I bought my G4 with the assumption that we'll get it, but also aware that we may never get it. My S4 is my daily driver until we get root access for the G4.
It should be much easier to find a safe way (for Joe Schmoe) to root, with the rooted G4 they currently have.

Please enlighten the rest of us too and show us where root is may be you read news from third party sources, but peoplespeak what they see on xda and from what I know, there is no root method yet published here, so why call him troll?

The devs themself, specifically JCase have already posted proof they have root.
He's a troll because he's been blowing up other threads with his poppycock

Sorry for the late response, but I see someone else already answered the question for me (About the devs themselves providing proof of root being fully possible on our G4's)

Nope, but you can not rush an artist. All we can do is play the waiting game....it's like being a child waiting for Santa, hah.

I Just got my new G4 for fathers day through sprint unfortunately, also have a LG G Flex 2 which is a POWERHOUSE. well both are monsters, but i cant wait for root and unlocked bootloader+carrier unlock, hopefully they all come soon.
also i just went from a G2 to the G Flex 2 to the G4, love them all
I have a question. I understand that root has been achieved on the G4 and that the method hasn't been released. My main question is this: when that method or other methods are released, would any of them offer a bootloader unlock along with it or would users have to rely on the LG site to do so? Right now I have the 815 version and know the bootloader is unlockable but do not have a pc to do the bootloader unlock process. Am I better off waiting for an official release here on xda that may involve a bootloader unlock?

They only have root. Go to a library and unlock it
