LG Optimus L7
Due to the original thread created by BGDonLINE (Maintained by pkatsaras) being a bit unorganized over time I have decided to create a new thread to hopefully give new users a place to go.
Notice: I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your device and anything that you choose to do is your responsibility
The L7 has had its bootloader unlocked thanks to payback and bryk2010 on the 4pda.ru forums, and cwm thanks to many users on the previous thread (thanks will be given once I figure out all those involved)
[I will post any important Information regarding the L7 if need be right here and will change the title if it is important]
Post 2: Custom ROM List
Post 3: Instructions to unlock Bootloader and flash CWM [Updates regarding CWM and Kernel will be found here]
Post 4: Flashing and Rooting Stock Firmware’s
Let me know if anything is missing
CM10 is now available as nightlies (Warning these are early builds and may be unstable) These are CWM Flashable Click Here (As far as I know this must be flashed over V10K)
Thanks to pkatsaras for maintaining the original thread it is a valuable source of information

Instructions for flashing Bootloader and CWM
(I am unsure if Root is needed although I would expect it to before this so if you encounter issues root your phone)
1. Download L7_CWM.zip (credits to NormanD for zip)] and extract it to C:
2. Plug you L7 into the computer via USB cable. Make sure you have USB debugging enabled.
3. Go into the C:\L7CWM folder and run Flash_Bootloader.bat your phone will then restart once it has run Flash_Recovery.bat – Once these are both done you will have the unlocked bootloader and touch recovery
WARNING: Flashing a Stock Recovery will remove both of these
Flashing and Rooting Stock Firmwares
You can download any Stock Firmware from the link below

Hi guys, I was trying to flash new ROM via CWM. However, cwm wasn't able to read the zip file saying something about script is not supported blah blah blah... Browsing thru xda forum, I found out that this problem has caused due to the cwm version(recently updated to cwm3.0.0.8) , or at least I want to believe it this way. So lastnight I ended up finding a thread started by jt1134 which I basically helped out lots of ppl who were struggling with similar problem as mine. But the thing is when I was trying to download the files, cwm-recovery-ALL.zip and cwm-recovery-ALL odin. The download links were broken giving me an error message. So guys, if anyone has the files I beg of you to share it pleaseeeeeeeee.
to shorten it down, the link is broken, I think. So if anyone has the files I beg of you to share it thank you..............
Hello jjalhjy
I will make this easy for the both of us!
Direct your browser to this link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999802
Once there scroll down to the 5th post (#5) where I linked both the page you referenced (broken links) and a link to a working download of the ".tar" file (was earlier! ).
If you need the .zip file scroll down to post 9 (#9) where I have linked it.
A quick guide to getting you flashed.
*note* I am assuming you cannot use .zip files due to the incompatible script error! This is for using odin.
1. Put phone in download mode via the power menu if on superclean. If not turn off the power, pull battery, plug into computer, hold "down" on the volume rocker till the yellow triangle "download" screen appears
2. download the ".tar" version of cwr all
3. Launch odin
4. Click the PDA button and search for the ".tar" file and select it -> then hit "ok"
5. Run the file in odin, wait for the phone to reboot.
6. put your battery back in and test recovery mode to see how it looks!
*whew*
good luck!
Wow that was a fast reply! Thank you! A quick question tho, 1. Do you know if I have to uninstall ROMmanager and delete update.zip file in my sd card before I even start flashing via using odin. 2. After following your instruction step by step, and let's say if it works. Do I still need to download ROMmanager? 3. I remember reading someone's thread in xda saying it is always necessary to flash new cwm after flashing a ROM (I always have it done using ROMmanager but now things have changed, obvisouly. So yea, how would I flash new CWM after flashing a ROM from now?
Sorry if these questions sound so newbyyyy hehe and thanks again!

It is advised (so I have read) that you should not use ROM manager with the Fascinate. While it is a powerful tool, it is just not 100% Fascinate friendly yet. Also I have never had to remove/mess with the update.zip on my SD card. Heck as far as I know you can delete it after using ODIN with the new cwr-all.

No. I would use the Development Thread here in the fascinate section for your ROMS. ROM manager is just not made for us.....yet!

I personally have never done this. To the best of my knowledge (and real life experience) cwr-all (red version) is the current and most up-to-date version (for the Fascinate). Once I ODIN-ed over the cwr-all I have not updated it once. You should be fine to flash it and flash ROMs as you please!
Dude, thanks A LOTTTTTT

don't take offense to this, but I think if you're asking questions like this about a pre-alpha, you might just want to hold off. Or just use on of the Kangs and flash with CWM.

I installed CM9 ([ROM][GT-P7500] CM9 KANG (ICS Preview) ) on my Galaxy Tab P7500 just yesterday evening, and so far I'm REALLY impressed by the performance and functionality.
I had some problems during the process and I thought I could share my experiences with you and give a short briefing on how to flash this stuff.
SHORT REVIEW
The ROM is superb. Even though it's half way there with some unimplemented things, the speed of the browser, the font rendering and overall look&feel make it impossible to return to honeycomb.
TESTED WORKING
1) OS in general
2) 3G, WIFI
KNOWN NOT TO WORK
1) Camera does not start
2) Some Trebuchet(CM9 launcher) menus in the settings not yet implemented
3) Screen rotation animations start with a blank screen
WHAT I DID
I started with rooted 3.2 Stock ROM and a battery 75% charged. I don't think rooting the tab beforehand is necessary, as you're going to overwrite the bootloader with CWM anyway.
1) I used Odin 1.85 and flashed Clockwork Recover Mod from Droidbasement, they even have the Stock IO recovery available there too!
- You need to power down the tablet, power it back up and hold both power and volume down buttons when the "samsung galaxy tab 10.1" logo comes visible
- Press volume up button to choose "Download mode"
- Start Odin on your computer, and select the Clockwork mod recovery file in the "bootloader" field
- Connect the tablet using the USB cable, Odin should recognize the device
- Press "Start" to begin the download
2) I transferred the four files listed in mabalito's thread to my tablets storage root folder
3) I booted the tablet to recovery mode
- (Power down, power up)
- Press volume down and power simultaneously when "galaxy tab 10.1" is visible
- Select recovery mode by first pressing power down, the pressing power up
- Select Wipe dalvik cache from advanced menu
- Select factory data wipe from the main menu
- Select apply update from sdcard
- Select apply update from .zip, repeat this step for files 1) GT-P7500-CM9-KANG-020712-maba, 2) GT-P7500-CM9-KANG-012912-maba-kernel-modules 3) Gapps 4) GT-P7500-CM9-KANG-maba-voicesearch-fix
4) Reboot the tablet, you should see the CM9/ICS bootscreen (it hung quite long there for me for some reason, and I got a bit worried, 15mins waiting just did the trick)
5) Enjoy! The ROM is awesome!

not sure why people aren't giving you a direct answer but here:
you don't need the recovery.img for that to work...i just tried it.
all you need to do is to go into the update.script in the zip file, and remove the line that says "get assert" or something like that with notepad...save....put back in the zip file (you may need to first unzip it for it to work....then re-zip it again.)
hope this is apples for you!

nope...just cm fixes and more settings.
This thread explains you how to install official firmware in your P500 when something goes wrong while you root your phone or forget to backup your custom rom and wanted to go back to custom rom and so on. Hope this thread helps you get out of trouble.
For installing custom rom you need the following tools
1. An official firmware (http://www.lg-phones.org/lg-optimus-one-gingerbread-2-3-3-official-firmware-download.html)
2. KDZ updater tool. (link: http://www.mediafire.com/?jkk2dwewjmfz346 )
after getting the above two files now let us start
1. First of all make sure you have the official firmware in .kdz format.
2. Update all your usb drivers before doing any process else it may not work well.
3. Now extract the downloaded KDZ zip file and click on the msxml file and install it.
4. Now open the KDZ_FW_UPD file.
5. Now select 3GQTD in type and Select DIAG in phone mode.
6. Now select the source of the KDZ file by clicking the open folder icon and select the desired firmware. (eg: V20B_00.kdz).
7. Now click on launch software update and sit and relax. Dont remove the usb cable from the phone until the update is completed. The phone will enter into emergency mode then when you get the info like update completed succesfully, switch on the phone.
8. Now your running the official firmware. enjoy!!!
Troubleshooting:
Sometimes the device may get stuck in bootloop it maybe because the phone may have its previous rom's data uncleared.
In this case just switch off the phone and switch on while holding down the VOLUME DOWN+HOME+POWER all at once. and wait for a android image in the screen. Hope it works now. this step worked for me
ALL THE BEST GUYS!!!

You are welcome
Hello everybody and welcome to my second guide for how to get root, unlocked bootloader, CWM, and finally installing the roms for our precious LG optimus L5! (e610,12 and 17)
Let's start!
If you are still on android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich, follow my other guide: ICS GUIDE
ALL in one!
So for rooting Jellybean i haven't found a proper root method yet, so that means we are going to flash a pre-rooted kdz file!
In this case this pre-rooted kdz file also contains unlocked bootloader and CWM so this is much easier.
1. Download kdz updater (attatched below)
2. Be sure to first install msxml.msi or else you will get crash during the update process.
3. Download the all in one kdz file, this contains firware version 20D Baltic with root, unlocked boot and CWM recovery. (comes in all languages)
4. Make a backup of your phone, contacts etc. (optional)
5. Once you downloaded everything, take your phone out of your pocket and turn it off.
6. Hold the "-" volume button and connect your phone with your pc (make sure you have all the drivers installed)
7. Now your phone should be in emergency/download mode
8. Now we are going to install the new firmware, open up KDZ_updater.exe and set the type to: 3GQCT and phone mode to DIAG
select the kdz file you just downloaded (20d+root + cwm.kdz) and click "launch software update".
9. KDZ updater will probably crash, this is normal, that means that it is finished the last code you will see is something like "wparam: 100"
10.If everything went well your phone should reboot and launch in the new firmware. Download "superuser" from Playstore.
When your phone is bricked you can just follow these steps again to unbrick your device.
Installing custom roms
1. Download the custom rom you want and place it on you phone. (Preferred on external SD card)
2. To install custom roms you have to go into CWM (clock work mod). you can enter CWM by going into terminal and type "su" and then "reboot recovery" OR turn your device off, then press volume"-" + home button + power button until it vibrates and shows LG logo then release only power button and keep pressing both of the others for about 8 seconds then release.
3. While you are in CWM you can navigate with the + and - volume buttons and the power button is enter.
4. Before you install any new rom, wipe everything from your phone by going to "mounts and storage menu" --> format /cache, /data and /media, /system, /sdcard, then wipe the dalvik cache under the advanced tab. If you don't do this you can get problems!
So now you can select your customrom.zip and press the power button, your rom will now install. after it is installed you can reboot your phone and if you did everything right your phone should boot into your new rom, the first boot can take a long time sometimes.
Some custom roms for jellybean:
CM10.1
CM10.2
JellyBeer
If you want a ICS based rom like cm10 or MIUI you first have to flash v10 baseband attatched below.
Happy Flashing!
oh thank god. there is still development for our little l5. thanks you very much. gonna test asap

You're right. The E617G does not have 4.1.2 with stock anyways, only 4.0.3. Please disregard my post.
I meant to post this in in the ICS thread, where it states that there is no unlocked bootloader support for the E617, which is false.
Key combination for recovery is (if I'm not wrong cause it sometimes fails just keep trying) volume"-" + home button + power button until it vibrates and show LG logo then release only power button and keep pressing both of the others for about 8 seconds then release.

KDZ update over V10 failed
Hello,
I tried to isntall this V20 KDZ on top of a V10E image on a E612F.
After flashing and booting,"Home" and "Lg Setup" and "Laucher" and all other apps start crashing.
If I try to flash a V10 KDZ back on, it fails with error "Wparam 100 LParam 1002" after the phone reboots to download mode.
I am only able to flash V20 KDZ files and I can`t get the phone to a point where adb works in order to replace bootloader or whatever.
Any idea to solve this?
Thanks

- maybe a factory reset helps, on this site they explain how: http://www.hard-reset.com/lg-optimus-l5-hard-reset.html
If that didn't worked, can you go into recovery? If so, wipe /system,/data,
/cache and flash over a custom rom like cm10.1 or Flatzki's cleanrom --> not too heavy modified and good performance

Thanks, I tried resetting with the Vol - + PWR + HOME, but the phone behavior was not what I expected. In the end, I managed to install The modded V20 from xoxodemo's thread and mixing and matching with bootloaders for E610 and latest CWM. This allowed me to install CM10.1 on the E612f
Thanks, anyway =)
Hi , just bought a new LG L5II E455 with JB 4.1.2. yay!
so before messing things up just wanted to know if this guide also
covers this model?
had some MTK 65xx phones before and using MtkDroidTools for backup and root
but seems it can't do squat about this phone. so as a seasoned droid user I know
my first step before anythings else should be making a full backup so which tool/flasher
would you suggest?
tnx.

I´m sorry for new thread but can somebody create tutotial, how to root this device? A lot of tuts do not work, because 4.4.2 (KitKat) blocks the rooting. (I tried for example Vroot, Towelroot, etc. but nothing is working )

4.4.2 can not be rooted (proper permanent root) !
You will have to install stock JB (4.1.2) via .kdz , then root, install CWM recovery, update or flash to stock KK (4.4.2), and then from recovery to root agin.
All you need is in this threads first page:

1 - flash old rom (OFFICIAL) via kdz flasher
2 - root - Cydia impactor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448085
3 - install recovery - CWM Recovery for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2652201
//the hole point so far is so u have a custom recovery so that u can "force install/patch" the root
4 - flash 4.4.2 kdz / or update via normal ways (LG update from phone, or from LG PC Suite )
5 - enter CWM Recovery, and apply the root for 4.4.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2754633
And u are done !
The phone cant be hardbriked (from what i know, and most moder phones cant be hardbiricked). If u softbreak it, try the steps where it crashed, untill will work. (i had to try to install the kdz 20 times - i belive i had some cable/power issues with the pc). Also, do all this with the phone battery fully charged !!! (in case it does go wrong, u have enough hours of battery left to make it work)
Please, can you post me which specifically ROMs I should download? I'm a bit lost in ROMs.

from http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=37 :
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW629486573210987654321/D60510A_00.kdz or http://www.filedropper.com/d60510a00 (same file) - EU OPEN - this is the first .kdz u need
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW102695432109876543213/D60520A_00.kdz - this is the second .kdz (4.4.2) - u dont need it if u upgrade via normal phone upgrade
Have you any more v10 EU? One is broken (logo LG is still refreshing and second one is 404) when I flashed on 20A EU again, it is working as before with all apps and settings.
May I download for example czech or italian version, or where is problem?? What I do wrong?

Download links work fine for me !
U can download czech or any country, doesn't matter.
After u install the .kdz, u must reset the phone (it formats the cache , davlik, data, etc....) (when u put 20A again, all the original user data was intact, because the phone was not reseted).
http://www.hard-reset.com/lg-optimus-l9-ii-d605-hard-reset.html ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkzJlLY3T1k )
After u install the CWM you will be able to clear cashe, data, etc .. from the CWM Recovery menu.
A bit of reading the forums, wouldn't hurt either .....
edit: also note that the first boot takes a lot of time .... if it is more than 20 minutes than something went wrong. Try a few times to be sure, and then reinstall.
Sure, I have read it, but now I have problem with booting. I reinstall it several times, but the logo of LG is there for a long time ( sound and animation are repeated) - I left it maybe 5 min (could not be turned off - only remove battery), when it didn´t work, aj flashed again v20. So I am going to try it once again with czech kdz and leave it more time. I will prey

Again, you dont need the cz .kdz ! Use the one u got. After the kdz flasher finishes, RESET the phone! That is the "magic" step!

I know, I dont need, but I had already downloaded it. Now, it is working, Thanks a lot!
Sorry for that, but how to get into recovery? I did all, but when I update on 4.4.2, I cannot get to recovery. I tried from terminal (nothing) and app called reboot recovery (it reported, I need root) and manualy (vol+ and power) also didnt work. Before update everything worked (on old kdz).

[Q] How to boot to CWM without root?
[A]
1. Reinsert battery
2. Hold Power+Vol Up+Home for about ten seconds a white text appears, that says "Release all buttons" you have 500ms time if it reboots start from step 1 again.
YOU HAVE TO BE VERY EXACT! (If you once installed CWM you have it even when you flashed KK .zip)
or activate in settings, developer options, and then usb debugging. Connect with the pc and issue the command from there. I dont know the exact command, u shuld read the forum thread above... i belive is there (not sure). Anyway on this, google is a good friend.

Everything is very nicely explained only one thing I don't understand. In order to install cm11, do I need to have root on 4.4.2 or can I flash the rom from rooted JB with CMW(to skip step 4 and 5 or is it necessary)? I hope you understand what I wanna ask. Thanks!

Once u got CWM installed, u dont care about anything else. So yes, after root on JB, and then CWM, you can install cm11 or what ever u want.
