Thanks for the posts. Just picked up this bad boy today and wasn't too sure myself.
Root complete. Now on to unlock and flashing recovery. I think I might try the CM mod out tonight!

Not working
I just picked up a LG Optimus G E973 (TELUS), yesterday, and this method isn't working. I followed the Youtube video and still nothing. I've tried it on both my Windows XP and Windows 7 laptops. Both just hang at the "If successful I will tell you ... " shell message.
The only thing that I can think of that might cause this problem is that I received a Software Update last night. My software version is E97310g instead of the E97310f that the Youtube video shows. Are there any other methods that will work or is this it?

Since the update, no current root method works, that I know of. I have the Telus OG as well, and I have the update available, but im going to wait until there is a new method of rooting. hope that explains it

As the post right above yours mentions, it's probably due to Telus firmware which was just released last night/this morning.

The only way this is possible is to flash the old stock rom and root that, then use my guide to update OTA. This is what I've done and it works for me.

Well damn. I guess I'll wait a bit longer for a reliable root method to come along. I'm sure it will happen. I just want to trash Facebook and a couple other small programs that I want nowhere near my phone. I can wait a bit longer for that.
Thanks anyway.

Use kdz updater to downgrade. Root as per normal than use root ota keeper and apply update. Worked on my telus e973

[TOOL] HTC One 2014 (M8) All-In-One Toolkit V12 [4-19-2014] [PERM ROOT]

I'm going to maintain only one thread (universal thread), since its easier to manage. My toolkit supports this model. Download links and info are in the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699065

V1.0.1 Released! 4-8-2014
- Added Support for Sprint (Use ClockWorkMod for the recovery)
- Clarified some steps to make it easier to understand
- Fixed some grammar errors
Download is in Post 2.

V2.0 Released! 4-19-2014
- Added Philz CWM for GSM models
- Updated TWRP to official builds for Sprint/GSM variants
- Added a few S-Off commands for those who have S-Off
- Cleaned the code up a little bit

Nice!
Thanks for bringing your awesome work to this model! I used your toolkit on my old incredible 4g. I will be checking this out next weekend when I have a day off. Strong work, you're a solid dev :good:

Before I attempt and brick my phone or something does this work with build dates 4/14/14 and later also?

I tried that before. Didn't work out so well. Every build needs a specific stock recovery. That's too much to deal with, especially supporting every model of the M8

im on windows 8 and when I install the drivers I get an error drivers not compatible. then I reinstall and get no error but I get another error device not found.

I am running 64-bit windows 8.1 and the htc drivers don't install correctly, i get the error, "the driver installer is not supported for this operating system."
i googled for 64 bit version in case this one from toolkit is 32 bit but no luck.

Does anyone have a stock boot.img for 1.57 or flashable zip of the kernel?

I just bought my m8 on Friday, it came fully updated. Does this toolkit support me still?

Hellow Peep's it's been awhile since I owned an HTC but I found a deal on an M8 I couldn't pass up , my question is will this toolkir work on the latest update ,that is 4.4.4 ? Just rather be safe then sorry ......Thank's in advance for help , Much Thank's to the op , ive used toolkits like this on my N7 and N6 look's the same anyway Monday suck's let's just hope we all get threw it in one piece ............THank's JIm

Untill we have a .kdz file in our hands we can't say anything for sure. Most probably (and I hope) the firmware shown in the video is only a beta because too many features are missed :crying: we saw how LG is used to manage the updates with the G2, so first of all rolled out a "beta" version in some asian countries, without some features (ART for example)..Then, some weeks later rolled out the final version of the firmware. Anyway we are very close :fingers-crossed:

V29 is beta version, and has ART.

Thank's very much for the useful details don't worry if you can't share the rom, personally I am not obsessed with having always the latest beta..I suppose that when it's done, LG will start the roll out, and then, here on xda, works will start Only if it's not a problem and if it's possible for you, would be appreciated if you can keep the community informed on what it's added and what it's removed between the various betas, so we can passionately follow LG's progress..if you want to create a discussion, for example, the community would be happy.
Anyway..I think that ART is foundamental for the future, so it's a great news that it's here! :victory:
knock on is a pity, so even knock code would not be there..but it's not as "foundamental" as ART for example, because I think that some talented developer would integrate at least knock on in the kernel (@ak for example, I was thinking to you LOL). The "major" problem would be the knock off, because I suppose that, if the phone doesn't have the knock on, the launcher wouldn't support the gesture to double tap to sleep.
Now it remains to see the other features that LG usually bakes in the roms, as slide aside, Guest mode (it would be REALLY REALLY REALLY useful, at least for me)..hope in good things to come :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

You look too responsible about the ROM. We should wait for a more generous tester to see a leak at last.

Could you be more specific? Because I can't fully understand the problem I mean.. (correct me if I am wrong):
-We start from an optimus g, with lg bootloader (for the noobs that read, it can be unlocked with freegee)
-if you put the nexus 4 bootloader ( I suppose following something similar to this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2099784 changing the bootloader partition) I think that the phone will load properly only kernels meant for the nexus 4 (and not even all the kernels for nexus 4, according to the OP of the guide), but I'm not sure because I've never changed the bootloader..Supposing that correctly manages even the optimus g kernels (and it's possible), I suppose that the problem now is the recovery, because nobody created a recovery working with kitkat roms from optimus G. For anybody, that doesn't have almost anything for now to work on..it's almost impossible to create it, IMHO..I think we have only to wait for LG's relases, sorry

I think it's necessary because with a new .kdz rom and new android version, usually even the bootloader is replaced by LG with a new version..so the old method at 99% won't work. Of course is worth a try..but I think that loading trough nexus 4 bootloader is the only option to try..even because probably the jelly bean bootloader wouldn't be compatible with kitkat roms..
We only have to wait for a kdz, nothing else..only few weeks and here we go, hoping that someone would be able to unlock (as fast as possible) the kitkat bootloader..

Stump won't root your G3? I thought it definitely rooted all our G3s. Does it just say it's incompatible? I'd go to the Stump thread and ask there, if that's true I'm sure JCase would like to know if he doesn't already.

How to root/downgrade/flash LG G3 Android 5, V20e

Hi guys,
Couple days ago I bought LG G3 with branded software from Polish operator.
Next I've updated it to the newest Android - 5.0
Firmware version is now V20e-260-01 (now I have option to update it to V20f-DEC-22-2014), compilation LRX21R
I was trying to find some method to root my phone (all I need is... Titanium Backup) but for now nothing is possible.
Also I know that I can flash my phone and install custom ROM but to be honest - last time I did that was over 2 years ago and I need nice instruction/guide to not damage my phone
So if you could be so kind please recommend most stable, easy-to-install and fast ROM so I can finally copy my old applications
Thank you in advance,
Omen.
