if its an E975 running JB it sounds like its already rooted seeing as no official 4.1.2 has been released yet for that model unless that's the korean model . I could be wrong though. Wouldn't be the first time. Check in app drawer for super user icon.

You can root it with the method posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2112190
Might take a few tries but it works as I tried it on the E975 KDZ a couple of times.
Then download busybox from market.

Thanks... it works beautifully!

Now I think to think of how to fastboot recovery into this phone. Can't seem to be able to enter it..
This LG phone sure is a learning curve for a former Samsung s3 user

Maybe jump on the IRC channel and ask for the E975 freegee if available. It will unlock bootloader and inject cwm for you. Then you just reflash a newer cwm version which can be found in the AT&T section.

Hi,
i have red different things about how to root an e975.
So i have a few questions before to root my phone.
Is there a better method than another to root my optimus G?
Is there a way to unroot it easily later?
If i unroot it, will it be exactly the same as a never-rooted optimus g?
Will it be possible to update officially my phone when an update will be available? (with root? unrooted?)
thanks for your answers

the easiest way is to use motochopper to unroot, after u need to unlock the boot loader with freegee available on the mp...
now you re ready to flash a new ROM.
at your own risk....
ask yourself what u want to achieve with root... if you want to get the last stock lg experience, you don't need to root.

Need help from somebody with Sprint LG Optimus G

I screwed up my phone hard. But long story short, what I really need is somebody with the LG Optimus G (sprint) (which is what I have) to make me a system dump. I need all the original LG Optimus G files, I was unable to make a nandroid backup, so stuff is really bad... I need either somebody's nandroid or a system dump or SOMETHING! Please, any help is appreciated! Thanks in advanced.

Use the KDZ files to return to stock.

The KDZ is what I'm having most of my major troubles with. Right now I'm stuck on a glitchy, I think Korean, version of android with a constant System UI error. I may mix this rom with Cyanogen and see if I can live with that if I can't get any help soon.

So why not use the KDZ file for the LS970 model?
http://www.mylgphones.com/sprint-lg-optimus-g-lg-ls970-firmware-update-ls970zv9.html

It's a tot so find lgnpst on the irc and use the instructions. Also, next time, use the forum for the sprint variant.

@yusuf
You have 2 options
1.flash stock rom with kdz updater.this is the safest,but it has 2 drawbacks,it takes alot and it wipes phone content.
2.use unroot option from superuser app.but this method has been reported to create problems.

Depends on phone hassan.When i was using stock rom, the update couldn't be installed when i was rooted when unlocked.I was able to see the update,it showed i installed it, but,after reboot, nothing changed. So yes, some need unroot to update.

[Q]KK rom for E986?

Hello guys,
i d like to know whats the procedure for flashing a rom on the OGP e986, as i am new to lg devices and cant really find a thread for the e986..
I should inform you that i am pretty familiar with rom/recovery flashing,rooting devices etc.
So,should i flash any rom for the e98x and then flash the right modem for my device?Or should i flash a rom made for my exact model only?
Also,will i have the ir bluster functionality as on stock rom in custom roms?
Thanks for your time and help.

Ok so i succesfully rooted using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362657 ,and also backed my efs and changed my recovery using FreeGee..So im ready to start flashing roms..Any answers to my previous questions?Thanx

When you launch freegee it automatically downloads supported devices list..If e986 was not supported it would automatically exit..Try for yourself.

KK custom roms?

Is there a specific reason for the absence of custom roms based on stock KK for the LS980? Or based on other device but made for the LS980...?
Is something in particular holding devs back?
I would really like to try some of the G Pro II ports... or maybe an updated justins rom KK...
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk

Don't quote me on this but I believe it has to do with kernel issues. I'm running stock rooted ZVC but savoca had to make a special file to be able to keep twrp and still load the rom
Sent from my LG-LS980 using xda app-developers app

Its not kernel issues its more of getting a custom recovery on the phone after the kit kat update LG blocked an exploit used to install and use recoveries like TRWP. It gives you a verification issue when you try booting to recovery im pretty sure thats the main reason. Having said that there are ways to get around it but i believe you have to have ubuntu which half the people cant get and the process is so risky many users reported soft bricking and hard bricking their devices and at the moment rooting is about as far as you can go after kit kat our phones basically took on "samsung knox" in LGs form

There are also simpler ways to install twrp but then your kernel breaks and you have to flash something else which eventually breaks twrp so you are stuck at stage 1 all over again
Sent from my LG-LS980 using xda app-developers app

OK just confirmed that you can get it to work and boot with twrp but it breaks download mode check this thread out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702007
Sent from my LG-LS980 using xda app-developers app

I get all this. But whats the point right now to do all this if there still isnt an actual custom rom to flash...? Besides all this. Is something different that no developer has actually made or released a rom for us... i thought it would just have been a patch for th is phone and hats it. But it seems like theres more to it. Besides the whole recovery thing.

Then do it. Show us your mad dev skillz. Because obviously you know what needs to be done. You don't even need to completely customize the rom. Just port a different one like the ones your interested in.
Or do just part of the work to help the others out. Compile a new kernel so that we don't need to use stock. Release your hack to make it so we don't break download mode when we make it still possible to bypass loki. Get real creative and make the ZVC radio work on Jellybean!
And if you don't feel like doing the actual work to get it working, why don't you get involved in the threads where they are talking about issues, and help out the ones that ARE doing the work. Jump on IRC and give them a heads up on how you fixed it so they can put release it for everyone to use.
And your sig says your on an LG-D801, so nothing here would work for your phone anyway!

Yeah.. i tried once and got stuck at the part to download sources... but thats not hat i mean. Im asking this. Because devs said that once a kernel and sourco came out they would make a patch. Obviously something is different for us that this patch hasn't been possible for us... if it was as simple as they thought it would have been done already.
But i dont think the recovery problems are delaying this. Or are they? Maybe they are to prevent bricks? But ive seen plenty of devs release either way with obvious disclaimers only for advanced users.

You obviously missed my point. The point was, if it was possible with the current state of the phone, there would be at least THREE out by now (stock rooted, Optimus, and d3rp). Since you don't see those 3 released yet, that means that there are other issues. So if you can fix those issues, let the community know how to fix them. If you can't fix the issues, then be patient and realize that all threads like this do is annoy the people that are working hard trying to fix them. Because it comes off as being very ungrateful and demanding of people that are volunteering their time to make things better for everyone. If you can help, do it. If you can't help, be patient.

Update. I memtioned that im on justiins rom, well thats because i use my ls980 for tmobile. Well i decided to flash cloudyproii 1.2 after following the autoboot instuctions specified by the person who uploaded the zvc tot. And saw no harm so i backed up everything and wiped everything and flashed cloudy then flashed s avocas ls980 kernel then autoboot again. Then i had to wipe cache again and it boot up. And its running great. The only thing is i cant currently record at 120fps or 4k.... but this rom is great.
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk

I was really wanting a custom rom, but with the xposed modules and Furnace kernel, i'm getting most of just about all the customization I'd get anyway.

The thing is that with the Sprint rom it is so much hassle to use with gsm. That's why I used Justin's first. And now this cloudyproii. Rom is great.

Using Justin's, and working in gsm mode. Probably made it so you can use the cloudy pro 2. Sprint users can't use it yet as it isn't altered to work with us.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

Justins had nothing to do with it. Its just that cloudyproii doesnt have cdma support so it defaulted to gsm.
I actually flashed the zvc tot to upgrade so i was using sprint, then flashed cloudyproii... i just had to flash an ls980 kernel and then autoboot.

Its great. Totally a DD. But obviously only for GSM... im using it on tmobile. Its better than justins rom because i have the custom goods. The only things not working are NFC and the 4K and 120FPS but i ddnt have them before either...
