Hello every one,
So after some long time saving, I finally have enough to buy an LG Optimus G from my friend. His phone (mine now) is great and work flawlessly. Today I decide that I will go for a little adventure and flash new kernel to oc my phone (currently running stock 4.1.2). When going to fastboot, I saw the following
Fastboot Mode
Product name - mako
Variant - mako 16GB
HW Version - rev_10 (16)
Bootloader Version - MAKOZ10o
Baseband Version - N/A
Carrier Info - None
Serial Number - <Something unrelevant>
Signing - production
Secure Boot - enabled
Lock State - unlocked

After some search, I knew that "mako" is meant for Nexus 4, right? So is this mean my phone is an N4 converted? It's really weird that it can still regconized the SD card.
I've do some search on google, and on xda but still not get the answer I need. If there is any duplication, please forgive me .
Thank you very much ^^
Pretty sure any phone running 4.2 and above.. Roms, bootloader, kernel.. Have the mako branding.. I have it and have never done the conversion.
Yours might be converted as well. I wouldn't know the difference.

Mako discussion
The reason behind your phone mako bootloader is that Optimus G At&t and LG nexus 4 both shared same hardware and built that means you can also convert your Optimus G At&t into full fledged Nexus 4 minus external built. I posted the link below that explains how to do conversion.
But remember this conversion will only work on Optimus G At&t version.

Thanks
Thank you for clarify that matter . I don't intend to convert to N4 anyway. To me, the micro SD worth more than running latest software .
More than that, a lot of roms have been ported to geeb, I intend to do some myself . Science if fun :v

It may just be that your bootloader is unlocked, the FreeGee method uses mako bootloader.
which rom did you install GPROJ or a GEEB?
Our beloved device LG V400 G PAD, is currently undergoing difficulties. It possibly will not be updated for ANDROID 5.0 LOLLIPOP - I contacted the manufacturer, who said we should perhaps wait for a chance to get 5.0. So I created this thread, trying to summon help to develop a device with compatible rom. I hope you can get attention. :angel:
Yes im waiting too. LG please give us Android 5 Lollipop. We waiting!
I mailed lg uk.This is what they told me:
"Thank you for taking the time to contact LG in relation to your V400. I have had a look into this for you and I can confirm that there are no plans to release Lollipop on this tablet. It may be something that we look at later on in 2015 but I cannot guarantee this.
I do apologise for the inconvenience caused but I hope that has at least clarified the situation for you."
Got this from LG USA
Thank you for your email to LG Electronics!
First of all, I would like to express my sincere apology for the inconvenience that this one is causing you and for late response on the email you sent on 03/19/2015 due to high volume of emails that we are receiving on a daily basis.
about the Android 5.0.1 Lollipop version your tablet V400 (7.0 display g-pad) is upgradable to that Android OS it’s just that your phone were originally made using 4.4 KitKat version as this software OS is made compatibly with the features and interface of the tablet to have the appropriate speed and battery life. In upgrading to the latest Android OS please be aware that it will affect the battery life and speed performance of your tablet so make sure that you anticipated this situation as early as now before considering upgrading your tablet to the one that it’s not originally made for.
Sooner or later your tablet will receive an update asking you to upgrade it to Lollipop OS once your tablet connected to WiFi or 4G. Just make sure that when performing a system update on your tablet it should be fully charged.
Google telephone number is 8558363987 in case you need to know more about Android Lollipop OS as they are the ones developed the software.
I hope this information has been helpful in addressing your concern.
Thank you for choosing LG and have a wonderful day!

Thank you so much man!
2 more questions, if I can; How did you install Lollipop, by OTA update or installing the .kdz file? And have you successfully installed any custom recovery or Xposed?
Thanks again!!
I had an update problem, fault of a compromised file or similar, so I had to hard reset and updated with LG mobile support tool.
But a friend of mine has update by OTA with no sort of problem and rooted with the one click method mentioned above
Hi, first android device in a very long time. Doesnt seem to be any conversation about this newly released device. Would any of the roms/mods/etc for the LG G Pad 8.0 also work for this device? Any help would be appreciated. I made a request for a device subforum but im a little unsure how else to go about getting the ball rolling.
I just got it too. I honestly don't even care about rooting. I just want stock Android. My Nexus has me spoiled.
On your side.. already unlocked bootloader and got the 128gb microsd from SanDisk for this beauty!

There's another thread which seems to be the main thread to discuss unlocking the bootloader, adoptable storage, and hopefully eventually custom recovery and root.

A little late, but maybe, still useful.
The situation is similar with G5 (some fastboot commands are missing). However, .tot method will do the trick.
That's when we get a .kdz file. Most likely when Nougat comes out. But if we can get the .hex and .bin to revive the phone....
I have the AT&T version seems very similar except mine has 32gb of storage not 16gb. Pretty sweet so far for getting it free.
The current software, V52110b, is vulnerable to all four of the vulnerabilities recently disclosed and nicknamed "QuadRooter." If someone reverse engineers the patch, it should show how to exploit the vulnerability for root.

After the Android update my Bluetooth is malfunctioning whenever i try to connect it to my car audio system. Before the update it was considerably working fine.
Looking a proper solution and dont mind downgrading my Android version too. (If possible
)

Hello Folks,
i just bought a used H850 to switch my data from my old G5 with broken display.
The broken ones already has the oreo update, if i remember correctly i did that with the phones build in update function without any problem.
before i can transfare as much data as possible to the new G5 i have to make sure its running the same android version but when i search for updates now the phone shows that its already on the newest version (with Android 7)
Same when i use the LG Brigde software for PC.
Does LG remove the update? Is there a way to install that last official update on any other way? or to 1:1 clone the data from my broken display G5? in the past i did that by just switching the motherboard but im not sure if the old motherboard has some other disfunktions.
My Banking App also refuses any kind of rooted phones so Lineage OS is bad :-(
Thanks for help in advance

As LG stopped supplying the unlock.bin for the bootloader it's most likely they stopped phone support at all. (I'm never gonna buy anything from LG again)
I've kept a "H85030f_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1122.kdz" on my NAS.
Afaik it should be flashable with LG Up but Idk exactly as mine is on a custom ROM.
