What I did was root my device (you'll need root for FreeGee to work), install FreeGee, let FreeGee back up my nonsense, Disable LGE security, install TWRP. From there you'll have a custom recovery and you'll be able to flash CM or whatever other ROM you'd like.

Better is very subjective. I'm a fan (and builder) of Carbon for the G Pro because it has a little more customization than CM. We have a few good options, though, so pick one and flash away. If you don't like it you can always flash a different one.

After you have downgraded your aboot, you will need a custom recovery. Download Flashify off the Google Play market (or use FreeGee to make the process faster) and place this file on your sdcard. twrp_2.6.3.3_loki-ls980.img
Open flashify, select recovery image, and find that .img, I have already loki'd this image, so you don't need to worry about it not working. Just be sure that you have downgraded your aboot first!
At the moment, the ZVA radio that came with your ota has completely broken compatability with all other non-ZVA ROMs, so if you want to install CM/PA/AOKP/DerpG2/OptimusDE, you will need to downgrade your radio to non-Spark ZV8/7, just flash this file in your newly installed recovery.
Now you're safe to flash any ROM!
so according to that you should be able to flash cm and others but then there is this note If you want to try the new radio (Spark), there's some things you need to be aware of, (when available) flashing youdug's stock ZVA ROM will NOT give you spark out of the box. You will need the new ZVA radio for this. You can find that here
You can only use twrp to install this radio. And it will ONLY work on ZVA ROMS. Do NOT install this radio over CM/PA, you will brick. and so I think you can't flash cm with zva
---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------
ok did a little bit more reading the file you flash after installing twrp in that guide downgrades your radio to zv8 which means you can flash cm at that point as long as you don't update to the zva radio

I've actually not been able to flash my zv7-aboot.img using terminal emulator. I keep getting an error that says cannot open for read: No such file or directory. Will FreeGee automatically downgrade my aboot when I use it to install twrp_2.6.3.3?

"You DO NOT have to downgrade to the ZV8 radio now to run AOSP based ROMs. To run an AOSP based ROM with the ZVA radio you MUST flash Savoca's or dr87's kernel immediately after you flash the AOSP ROM."
So basically can we install cyanogenmod on a ZVA phone without downgrading ? Sorry If my question is stupid :/
Thanks for your help

The easiest way is to download freegee from the app store, install a custom recovery. Be sure to download the zv8 radio. Go to recovery and flash CM then the ZV8 radio. You can use the ZVA radio but if you dont have spark in your area this is easiest

Flashing T-Mobile ROM (Justin's) to LS980 ZVA?

When I tried to install the Justin's T-Mobile ROM to LS980 with ZVA version through TWRP, I got a boot loop (TWRP recovery image was installed via Flasify). Restored the factory ROM and tried to flash again, but I got the same boot loop. Is it due to the fact that the phone is on ZVA?
I read in the forum that I can use FreeGee to flash TWRP for LS980 ZVA, but it seems it does not help as well.
Do I need to go back to earlier version (ZV8 or ZV9?) to flash the T-Mobile ROM or is there a way to flash the ROM without going back?
Thanks for help in advance!

here is what i did

Thanks for the reply. Do you know where I can find files to flash radio? I'll read the cm11 thread and see if I can find more info on that.
EDIT:Flashed ZV8 Radio after flashing the T-Mobile ROM it appears booting but I'm getting following error messages:
Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped
Unfortunately, VoIP call has stopped.
These messages keep popping up after pressing OK so I cannot get to the main screen.
What do I need to do now?

Well, I tried to flash the T-Mobile ROM again and it works fine now (without flashing the ZV8 again after flashing the ROM)!

once you flash a radio like you stated. flashed the ZV8 after the rom you dont ever need to do that unless you recover from a TOT. file or switch your radio at some point. once you flash it your good man
and just in-case you didn't know your posting questions in the development area i see you did it twice so i figured you might think your in Q&A
are you using a t-mobile or att based sim card?

Shouldn't this post be in General or Q&A???

Are you good?
if you need any files or help let me know id be happy to help

Google Play Store - No Connection Issue
Hello everyone,
I have flashed Justin's T-Mobile ROM onto my LS980 (Sprint G2) successfully after flashing ZV8 radio.
However, Google Play Store started giving me an error message - 'No Connection'.
I tried to follow the fix in the following thread but when I opened the hosts file there was already " 127.0.0.1 localhost" at the first line. I deleted the hosts file entirely and restarted the phone but it did not work either.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273994
Does anyone know what I need to do to get Play Store working again? When I factory reset it, it will start working but after few downloads, it stops working and displays the same 'No Connection' error message.

By the way, I have force closed 'automatic update' app disabled notification. Is it possibly why?
Any help will be appreciated!!

Im having issues. The link for the Justin rom is no longer available. i lost my recovery and can only go into download mode. i have no idea how to flash recovery through adb. Do need to install the T Mobile drivers? I have the sprint drivers already installed. The phone doesnt stay on long enough for me to use the simple tool either.

[Q] NEED SUPPORT on Bootloop Problem after Flashing Custom Rom

Hi, I made a mistake flashing gomdolight wave on my lg g pro f240k stock rom. I was on Kitkat stock rom and flashed gomdolight which i believe is intended for JB only. After flashing, my phone got stuck on bootloop. I tried to download and flash another version of gomdolight which is intended for Kitkat but still, bootlooped again. What should I do? Can I flash other custom roms instead? Thanks in advance for those who would help.

First go in your recovery (if you did not install one download and install)
wipe / data
wipe / cache
wipe / davilk
wipe / system
ok, download a custom stock rom and place on your SD, this can be here
(make sure it's rom works on your device, it is 32gb or 16gb, if not this rom, look for one that is installed by the recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419802
put it in the right place (follow the tutorial that is in the link)
Note: you will not install it by zip, will make a recovery.
Now that you have solved the problem of bootloop ..
You must return your original rom, for that you'll have to use the FashTools

Sorry, TOT is for E980, you need to use KDZ for your model. Tehre is a thread in the forum with all the kdz and tot files for the g pro.

Use this rom... u need recovery any stock. After you stay in stock is possible u use KDZ files.. (FlashingTools)

Thanks to everyone who replied! I already solved it.
What I did, was flash a stock e980 version via KDZ Flasher, then I re-flashed back to my stock f240k. It worked, all signals were back.
I'm now proceeding on upgrading to Kitkat. Thanks again.

[Stock Rom] KVT49L.D85110r [Flashable Zip]

I have created a stock, flashable zip of the latest OTA. This is UNROOTED, but can be easily rooted using the SuperSU Flashable zip found HERE! This will not update your modem or bootloader. This is simply the updated boot.img and system.img. I will add more to this and clean it up when I have more time.
Download:
D85110R.zip
Here is a flashable zip for the 10R modem. - Thanks to @graig79 for the update.zip and @autoprime for the modem.img
If you would like to update to the additional 10R Bootloader/Firmware here is a flashable zip courtesy of @autoprime. This is not a locked bootloader and is safe to flash. This will flash aboot.img, dbi.img, factory.img, laf.img, rpm.img, sbl1.img, and tz.img from the 10R release.
Installation Instructions:
Clean install:
Wipe Data/System/Cache/Dalvik in either TWRP or Philz
Flash Rom
Reboot
Dirty install from 10M or 10C Stock Roms (Installing this over other custom roms may cause issues)
Wipe Cache/Dalvik in either TWRP or Philz
Flash Rom
Reboot
Standard Disclaimer: I am not responsible if this blows up your phone or sdcard. You should know what you are doing or read up before flashing. I have installed this myself without issue. If you have issues, read up and search before saying there is a problem with the rom.
Credits:
@zone23 for the updater-script
LG for the update
@autoprime for the boot.img

Thanks bud!!! Have you run across a legit changelog for this update (beyond what tmo is willingly telling us)???
This is what tmo posted for anyone interested...
New features
T-Mobile Free Inflight Texting support
Improvements
Bluetooth connectivity improvements
Wi-Fi connectivity improvements
UI improvements for T-Mobile Free Inflight Texting suport

Thanks for the upload doc

So I have a rooted version that has been deodexed, added a few tweaks, debloated, init.d support, updated all core apps, and added busybox. I will test it today and if all goes well, I will upload. When I say debloated, I mean like 958mb. Thing should run like a champ.

That would be awesome!!

Has anyone been able to take this update via OTA or using the LG PC Suite software?? I tried using the PC Suite software and am getting this error "Cannot Proceed Upgrade: Mobile device software upgrade is blocking on no upgrade policy". This is even on a brand new phone that I just got from the T-Mobile store today!!

Thank you for this. I dirty flashed the update, modem and supersu and all went well. Not that I want it but is the 10r bootloader locked?

Couldnt tell you what you did wrong. This is just a flashable stock rom so there should not be anything else that you need to do. I would start with checking the md5 on your downloads to make sure you did not get a bad download of either file.

I am curious aswell but from what the OP/common logic(not trying to be sarcastic/mean) states
It should allow you to flash the both because rthe boot loader is alrrady unlocked(may overwrite your twrp but installing that is pretty simple) and the modem doesn't even handle that part if the software, I'm flashing all of them now so I'll post if anything happens
EDIT: it kept TWRP but the zips need to be flashed in the order of:
MODEM
BOOTLOADER
ROM
the bootloader fails if it it has the incorrect MODEM underneath it
also i got a boot loop on the rom
EDIT2: its been so long since i flashed a rom, i forgot you needed to wipe data lol

This does not touch the recovery partition so twrp will not be touched. Since this bootloader is still unlocked, there is no harm in flashing. Especially if you are running 10r modem/ROM. Won't hurt if you are running aosp either.

@krowley3 Can I dirty flash this over stock 10m? Obviously I'm rooted I would need to flash the superuser.

I noticed that I after I flashed the new modem and the new bootloader I lost the HD Voice? Does anyone have this issue?

dirty flashing D85110R.zip over stock 10m experiences
Thanks for the post and files krowley3!
I was considering a dirty flash of D85110R.zip over my rooted Stock "m" build as I see that the OP has instructions for doing so...
From OP:
Dirty install from 10M or 10C Stock Roms (Installing this over other custom roms may cause issues)
Wipe Cache/Dalvik in either TWRP or Philz
Flash Rom
Reboot
I was just looking for some feedback from any members who have dirty flashed the D85110R.zip?
TIA

I have all 3 zips in the OP, plus the SuperSU zip. is there any order i need to do this in? I have rooted 10m, so i was just gonna wipe dalvik and cache and install the zips. Should i reboot after each zip? Thanks
