LG Optimus L5 II vs. LG Optimus L5
I'm making this thread because it seems that some things that work for the model E610 don't work for this one (Actually I have only tried with some CWMs and mods) so I will be updating it with special stuff only for the E450 models.
At the moment it is possible to root and unlock the device, you can follow alley23 guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2343579
How to root the phone:
1. Download this chinese root software called VROOT (I use this method because is the only one that worked for me but it must be other ways too...)
http://www.mgyun.com/vroot
2. Enable "USB debugging mode" on your phone (Settings > Developer Options > Android Debugging)
3. Connect phone to computer and install phone drivers, download them from LG site if necessary
4. Run VROOT and you will see that the program detects your phone model, click on the green square button that says ROOT, if everything goes ok your phone will restart and now you will see a "root" app on your app drawer, that means your phone now is rooted.
5. If you want to change the root app (because is in chinese) you will need SDK Tools (http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r22.2.1-windows.exe) and Java JDK (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html)
Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu or any other root manager and open it up, go to setting and select "Install SuperSU into /system" (this will override the chinese root app).
6. Open an ADB terminal and type the following (with the quotation marks):
Windows:
adb.exe shell "su -c 'mount -o remount,rw /system'"
adb.exe shell "su -c 'rm /system/bin/su'"
adb.exe shell "su -c 'rm /system/xbin/su'"
7. Restart phone, open SuperSU and update binary sources, and ta-da! done.
If you have any question or you don't a step PM me and I will help you.

I have tried to install a custom recovery, Clockwork Mod, with the custom recovery for L5 E610 but I can't make it work, I also tried several guides of the E610 but none seems to work so I guess it is incompatible with the E450...
But I will continue to update the thread with news, updates and stuff ported to this (awesome?) device.
Some mods by Slipsystem: Here
And now, thanks to the amazing user slipsystem, it is posible to unlock the bootloader of the E450! Follow this link to find how to do it: (L5 II) Unlocked Bootloader (Optima Team)
Any comments or links are welcome.
I bought the LG E450g, I suppose that the "G" would refer to my area and frequencies 850/1900.
I have not tried to root yet.
It have a nice performance, more than a Galaxy S Duos, and the UI feels really smooth.
The only issue with this phone is the Wifi/Data disconnecting every time the screen goes off. This means I will not receive Whatsapp messages o whatever that uses internet until I turn on the phone.
I have tryng looking for a setting, app, or something else without luck. Also I did a factory reset, and flashing a new firmware, but still no luck.
But in overall, the phone just works fine.
Have you enable the "keep wifi on during sleep" option? Which apps have you tried?

Yes, I enabled "Keep Wifi on during Sleep", disable "Mobile data Limits", everything, but no luck.
Im still looking for an app that forces the connection always on, but no luck.
Is your E450g working fine? Which firmware do you have?
I'm using stock firmware but I've never experimented that kind of problem... mmm, you can try with an app called "Advanced Wifi Lock (Free) search it in google play.
Finally someone else confirming this issue. I have the same problem with my L450. I initially thought this was a problem only on my phone and that it i had a problem with the firmware. I have flashed the latest Chinese firmware and still have the same problem. LG is unaware of this problem this is there reply to this issue

Dear Slipsystem,
The part where you enabled the Wi-Fi during sleep mode that’s fine like that and did you have a stable Wi-Fi connection prior to this?
When you try going onto the internet does it give you an error message and if so what error message does it display?
Kind Regards,

I do have a stable wifi connection, the same thing happens on my home network as well as my work network. I get no error message using chrome it just tells me the page could not be loaded. I also am not able to browse shared folders using es-file exporer.
I did google it and alot of people say thats its a rom issue. I am not using a custom rom, and I dont want to send my phone in for repairs if all they are going to do is re install the software. I have tried doing a factory reset but I still have the same issue.
I can re-install using the lg mobile support tool but I am trying to avoid having to do everything again.
have you experienced this problem before on any of your other l series 2 devices?
could this be a firmware issue?
I had I haven't experienced this issue with the samsung s3 running jelly bean or the sony xperia go running jellybean.
It shows that the wifi is connected but its not. when going to google it says page could not be loaded. I installed wifi fix and everytime i lock my phone when I unlock it wifi fix has to repair the connection.

Hi Slipsystem,
It’s rare that we get issues like these and if we do get issues where the phones system is not working as it should we flash the phone (run software) and it normally resolves the problems.
We have never experienced this problem on any of the LG series as far as I know. What I can advise you to do as a customer is take the phone back to the store where it was purchased from or to your nearest network provider where they can have the phone tested for you.
I can give you the hard factory reset code as well but I don’t think it will really make a difference (3845#*450#) then WCDMA only – then Factory Reset.
Kind Regards,
Dominic Bridger

I think the best option for us is to install wifi fixer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wahtod.wififixer I found this to be the only app that works. and wait for a new update or custom rom that fixes this issue
i have the same problem! with WPA2 nets! LG E451G (Argentina)
Does this problem happens with all the networks you are connected to? I mean has anybody tried with a different network? Because it seems that the only difference of wifi on E610 and E450 is a "dual-band" feature, maybe it is a compatibility issue with your router frecuency?
Or maybe it is a firmware problem? this is my software info:

I have had this problem with my work network and with my home network.to be honest I am not sure what dual band is, but my wireless settings look like this.
Hello Slipsystem.
I was thinking that it was only my phone too.. No app fixed, nor flashing new roms, nothing worked.
I saw your post about Wifi Fixer. So I will try it.
I was doing it the manual way, -Wake up phone.. -Wifi off.. -Wifi on.(Each time my screen went off) (Yeah, maybe 5 times in 5 minutes).
Also I tried modifying the build.prop, not luck - (To be true, I didnt know what I was doing, I was really desperate)
Some Customs
Some customizing if anyone is interested

I know no one has been able to get a custom recovery to work for our phone yet. But if it were possible what would you like to do with it other than Install a custom rom. Debloating is a must but what type of mods/ports would you want to install on your device. for me i miss the xperia range of media apps so I ported it to my phone. Before I write a tutorial I want to know what your suggestions are.

Hello again! As you know my L5 II was dead, but now thanks to you it is not anymore.
Answering your questions. The first thing I would like to see is a WiFi-issue Fix. Then maybe a AOSP-themed (Settings and some other things) lite rom, or even better.. a cyanogen port.
For mods or port, maybe a port from the beautiful lock-screen of the LG G2 (Maybe I'm dreaming). But to be honest, I don't really envy anything from other phones.
In overall, I'm very happy with this phone.
The only bad thing = WiFi :silly:
If you are really interested on developing, porting, modding.. I could be a tester for your work
hi
Good work,keep going to discover things for this device.:good:
The recent news from CyanogenMod are that they are working on an installer so that the mod will work on any phone yay, so im expecting it will solve the wifi issue on ours... I guess it will install a custom recovery so we will be able to flash easier

WiFi Fix is a definite, I am not sure how to fix this though I think it has something to do with a kernel tweak or something. I dont like to play around with anything except the system folder.
AOSP-Theme I am looking into for you, I found a few threads but it seams to require a CWM based rom.
LG G2 seems possible as far as I know it is the same as our lock screen just with added effects. I am pretty sure this is possible. It might take some time as I need to download a LG G2 rom to port these feature and the Roms are almost 2 gigs and my internet connection is very slow. It is probably something to do with pushing the lockscreensettings apk and then copying some libs and frameworks to get all the effects to work.

Hi, I'm from Argentina. I have the e451g and had the same problem. Solution: change router security from WPA2 to WPA
Sorry for not posting in a while guys I have been down with a sickness.
I am looking at all suggestions and trying my best to help out.
some progress
ivan0550 request for LG G2 Lock Screen. I am not getting a Force Close anymore but I am stuck with editing the framework-res.apk hopefully after editing that I will get the effects to work.
ivan0550 request for a wifi fix, still havent found a working solution for this, Fede37 recommended changing the router settings from WPA2 to WPA this has no effect. I am going to try setting my router to different bands and frequencies to see if it will stabilize.
rotorto request for mass storage option, all of the tweaks that I made to the build.prop doesnt seem to throw my phone into mass storage mode. I am not sure if there is a way to get this to work without installing a 3rd party app.
ivan0550 request for a AOSP like settings. I am not experienced in Cynogenmod or AOSP as all of my previous android phone didnt have one of these custom roms available. I am not sure on how the settings work and what its sapposed to do but maybe this post can shed some lite

all in alll I am having no luck but I am going to keep on trying. If i keep hitting a brick wall I will move onto another project and come back to trying to get these things to work but I wont forget about these requests.
Dont feel afraid to request anything as I will try my best to help out wherever possible. I love getting request as I like to modify my device and it just gives me insparation.

Hello,
I know there are already a billion topics on this subject but after reading an awful lot of them, my problem still has not been resolved.
When I connect to the WiFi at home (WPA2-PSK) there is no problem: everything works as it should.
When I connect to the WiFi at my school, there is a problem. After connecting to either the Guest-account (no security) or the Eduroam-account (EAP with TLLS and PAP) the phone will load websites for like 1 minute, after that it will simply not load any webcontent anymore. When I check the WiFi-status it will first take a long time to open this menu (settings->Wireless connections->WiFi), and after opening it will show 'error' where it normally would show 'connected'. The only thing I can do at that point is rebooting the device, after which it will again work for 1 minute.
Things I tried:
Download WiFi-fixer apps off the market;
Load the developers drivers using *#*#526#*#*;
Connecting to both unprotected and protected WiFi;
Not using the internet: it will still crash after a while;
Flashing different original ROMS (KPN, KPO and KPH);
Disabling every connection but WiFi.
Non of these attempts had an effect. What can I do to resolve this error? All the other threads don't give adequate solutions. I am really desperate because this problem drives me nuts!
Current system configuration:
Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830
Android 2.3.3
Baseband version: S5830XWKP7
Kernel version: 2.6.35-perf-CL400247
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XWKPO
CWM 4.0.0.9 and rooted

Schools have certain protection that disallows certain devices from connecting (e.g. Mac Address Blocker)
You can complain to the school about it , or rather......use 3G .
Have a good day
No my school does not disallow certain devices to connect (e.g. everyone's phone just work perfectly), so that is not the problem. And this should not make the WiFi crash even if this was the case.
Nobody has any idea? I tried removing the SD-card (read on some other board this could have some effect) but this did not resolve my problem.
Me and my friend we both have the exact same problem at out school (BME)
But we dont have to restart our phone jusat simply turn wifi off and on again.

I've tried flashing Cyanogenmod but this does not fix my problem either. Presuming they just took the WiFi-driver from stock firmware this would mean the problem really is in the driver. I guess my only hope is Samsung, but I do not think they'll ever release a fix for this problem...
I am having the exact same probelm with my work's wifi, at home everything works perfectly, but just a minute on my work's wifi and a driver reloading is mandatory... i look forward for an answer but so far I haven't read of anyone trying to fix this (with greater knowledge than an average user like me)
hopefully a ROM or an official update in the future could fix this...
Same here.
I have the same problem. Eduroam works fine for like one minute, and then it stops working. The unprotected network doesn't work either.
I've got this issue with stock roms (I've tried most of them) CM7 and Gingerreal I think.
I think our SGA is a good phone, but first with SOD and now this... I'm sick of samsung's wireless
I'm still having this problem... ROMs I've tried:
1) Stock Gingerbread
2) Cyano Ace RC1
3) Cyano Ace RC2
Will flashing a new radio has a chance of fixing this?

I have tried flashing, as you said, but no luck. (I don't remember which one I tried, but didn't work)
Ok, still no luck. I've tried with S5830XWKPY firmware and I got the same bug.
This is driving me nuts. I'll try with froyo
Another wifi problem is "not see wep wireless"
For Windows7, Connectify is being used for sharing internet.
but for wep passport, my galaxhy ace couldn't find virtual modem, but my old phone samsung monte saw and connected, what is the problem? what do you think?
(excuse me, for bad english)
on 2.3.4 XXKPH(with wpa2) after this issue got, when i try turn off wifi then on, he shows connecting disconnecting connecting disconnecting
but on 2.3.5 XWKS2 same issue only after i turn off and turn on, wifi connection works(not showing connecting,disconnected)
i didnt tryed wep on 2.3.5 but on 2.3.4 worked without any issues
hey guys, i was having massive problems with wifi erroring everytime i turned screen off for a while then back on. I tried flashing multiple different roms and kernels but nothing worked. The only way to fix was to restart the phone everytime.
however recently i accidentally stumbled on a solution for my problem. installed setcpu and set the cpu frequency to 480 max during screen off and without me knowing it this solved the problem. i havent had a problem with wifi erroring since. I guess the process which enables/disables wifi must malfunction if it is not getting enough clock cycles? because i never had this problem when phone was connected to the charger, only when it was running on battery.
maybe this is something you can look into. you can get setcpu free on these forums or buy/donate through market. Theres heaps of advice on these forums regarding how to setup/use it.

I'm still trying to figure this out... I think this problem may be related to the wpa_supplicant. Some random guys offer a "patched" version, but I didn't manage to install it without breaking the wireles T___T
Could you please share the "patched" files? I will try to install them and share my results.

Hey guys,
I also have SGA with 2.3.4 official samsung ROM. I did *#*#526#*#* and some days later problem continued..
But, then all I did is, kept WiFi on all the time.. It doesn't consume battery much. and easily connects with any WiFi whenever I need in my case.
Nevermind, I read it's for froyo... I can give you the link, if you like.. http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=172042
It's in Spanish, though. It says: 1. Download the script, 2. Unzip it (SD) 3. Follow the instructions.
But, it'll probably break your wireless
I've installed "eduroam fixer" and "Wifi advanced configuration editor" but I don't even know what to do with that...
I still believe that the problem is in wpa_supplicant !!!
Fixing mobile data (3g) after installing Cyanogenmod 7 (nightly)
Hello all. I'm writing this as a long-time lurker and custom ROM / kernel user, who has been helped along greatly by this forum.
I had a long-standing issue that I couldn't find any clarity on: my mobile data access didn't work after switching to custom Roms/Kernels from LG's original Froyo Rom.
After months of thinking it was just an odd bug, and something to live with (since I rarely use data), I decided to look a little deeper into the problem. I found it difficult to even find information on the problem - there's a lot of bad information, and a lot of hard-to-read information from friendly, but not perfectly fluent English speakers.
In short, I'm hoping that others who are struggling with this issue will find this post with some Googling, and won't have to be as confused as I was.
After doing the following, I have everything working perfectly and here's how I did it:
1) I knew that the right baseband (under About Phone, in Settings) had something to do with mobile connections, including 3g data authentication and transfer. I found that v10 (and older) basebands are considered the 'old' baseband, while v20 basebands are considered 'new' basebands.
2) Cyanogenmod often reports the baseband incorrectly, so finding out what baseband you're on is unreliable through the About Phone menu, if you're already on CM7.
3) There are some scary sounding techniques to update your baseband (one involves using a poorly documented program called 'LGMDP-v1.5.exe'). These techniques can apparently brick your phone, so I avoided them. I might be wrong on some of the details here, so let me know!
4) I instead obtained the latest baseband by simply letting the LG update software (in my case from LG.ca) update my phone to Android 2.3. I noticed that I now had baseband v20. My mobile data worked!
5) I then re-rooted the phone, using SuperOneClick.
6) Installed the latest CM7 nightly. Mobile data no longer worked
6.5) I should mention, I tried other ROM/Kernel combinations and ended up having crashes and hangs on boot - thankfully I could use 'adb reboot recovery' to get back to Clockwork Recovery, when even holding various keys on reboot to do this didn't work).
7) Installed the wonderful ta-gb 1.1 kernel (thanks to all of the devs who worked on this and others like it).
8) And lastly (and possibly most importantly) I came across this:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...gingerbread/prebuilt/common/etc/apns-conf.xml
It's a list of APN information, which corresponds to different carriers, and appears to be necessary for mobile data connections. My carrier (Koodo) was not listed here, and therefore appears to not be included in even the latest Cyanogenmod 7 (as of Feb 2012).
9) This led me to find this: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/wiki/APNlist
Which happened to include the APN information for my carrier that I needed to put in, under Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
Inputting that information made my 3g connection start up instantly. I was able to check that things looked good by typing *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer, and looking under Phone Information.
Maybe you're a veteran CM7 user, and think this is obvious newb stuff, but I want to leave this thread here for any other users who were stuck as long as I was.
If you fixed this issue with a different method, please share what you did here. If you're a ROM/Kernel dev with more insight on anything that I covered, please comment.
Cheers.
Are you doing this on v20 baseband?
I also have trouble with data on nightly's. I know DJ posted on the cyanogen forum today, saying Adam got a new Sim (128k, the ones causing problems) for testing. There should be a fix soon, fixing this problem.

6.5) I should mention, I tried other ROM/Kernel combinations and ended up having crashes and hangs on boot - thankfully I could use 'adb reboot recovery' to get back to Clockwork Recovery, when even holding various keys on reboot to do this didn't work).
7) Installed the wonderful ta-gb 1.1 kernel (thanks to all of the devs who worked on this and others like it).
8) And lastly (and possibly most importantly) I came across this:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...gingerbread/prebuilt/common/etc/apns-conf.xml
It's a list of APN information, which corresponds to different carriers, and appears to be necessary for mobile data connections. My carrier (Koodo) was not listed here, and therefore appears to not be included in even the latest Cyanogenmod 7 (as of Feb 2012).
9) This led me to find this: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/wiki/APNlist
Which happened to include the APN information for my carrier that I needed to put in, under Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
Inputting that information made my 3g connection start up instantly. I was able to check that things looked good by typing *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer, and looking under Phone Information.
Maybe you're a veteran CM7 user, and think this is obvious newb stuff, but I want to leave this thread here for any other users who were stuck as long as I was.
If you fixed this issue with a different method, please share what you did here. If you're a ROM/Kernel dev with more insight on anything that I covered, please comment.
Cheers.

You should be able to get all your apn information from your carrier provider even if cyanogenmod doesnt have it.
Apn is nothing to do with being a veteran cm user or that, you used to always have to enter that kind of stuff in the old phones when you used g and 3g, in my case my carrier would sms me the settigs automatically, such as it still does for my nokia e63

Good to know!
I have installed the nightlyfoure v3.8 and I am not getting 3g.I am getting edge connection. When I activate 3g it shows I have only gprs. I live in a place where 3g is available and I have v20g baseband.
Can you also tell us the procedure to edit/overwrite the original apns-config.xml if you did so? Thank you dude

Is your carrier listed in either of the links I posted about in step 8 or 9?

I didn't edit 'apns-conf.xml', but I did find my carrier information in the link I posted in step 9) and typed it in manually into Access Point Names.
I suppose you could edit the apns-conf.xml file either in the source code, and compile CM7 yourself (time consuming). Or you could use the adb program that comes with the Android developer kit, and shell into the rooted phone (to see it, do: adb shell; cd /etc; ls). You could then probably edit it in place (might be risky), or pull the file, edit it, and then push it back with various adb commands that you can google
The code.google.com link I posted above might be the best way to request your APN details get added to the file in the next CM7 release.

Perfect, thanks but wait wait wait! You also faced the "not able to save APNs" problem? Also, I've just found out that my carrier (Vodafone IT) is listed among other carriers in APNlist you've linked... what's the deal?
(please be patient with me dude, I might seem really dumb but... I'm learning as I go )
My provider's APN is already added.
But sometimes, it fails to connect to DATA let it be 2G/3G.
Reboot solves it....

[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: How do I root/unlock this phone?[/SIZE]There is a guide in the 'General" subforum. Recoveries can be found in the 'Development' subforum.
Note: There is an " Everything" thread stickied in the 'General' subforum where you will find many of the goods for this device.
[SIZE=+1]Q2: What is the best ROM?[/SIZE]Please refrain from asking questions about the 'best' ROM, kernel, launcher or anything else as the answer is subjective at best. Here is a reply from a Moderator Best/Fastest Rom[SIZE=+1]Q3: Do I need to do anything besides root/unlock before flashing a ROM?[/SIZE]Make a backup of your current ROM.
[SIZE=+1]Q4: After flashing a ROM I am stuck on splash/boot screen- what do I do?[/SIZE]Try wiping data, cache,and dalvik as well as under mounts and storage format system then reflash. If you still have the issue go to the ROM specific thread and search there for an answer. If you have searched and the answer is not there then post the question, preferably in 'Q&A' subforum rather than the development thread.
[SIZE=+1]Q5: I changed to a different recovery- where is my backup?[/SIZE]It can not be seen by a different recovery - either revert back to the recovery where your backup is located or make a new backup with the recovery you are now using.[SIZE=+1]Q6: How do I return to stock?[/SIZE]LGNPST. There is a guide in the 'General' subforum.[SIZE=+1]Q7: Why is my 'XYZ' app not working on this new ROM?[/SIZE]This is most likely not because it is a new rom. Best solution is to uninstall the app and do a fresh install, meaning not from a backup.[SIZE=+1]Q8: Why is battery life not so good on my phone?[/SIZE]We all use our phones a little to a lot different than someone else therefore there is not a 'one fix' answer. Try using a couple of apps such as CPU Spy and Better Battery Stats to help you identify the problem areas.[SIZE=+1]Q9: After flashing a rom, I get a pop-up saying ' Unfortunately the process Android.process.media has stopped. How can I clear that message?[/SIZE]Clear Data in media storage is usually all it takes. You may also re-flash the rom- when re-installing apps do not restore data.[SIZE=+1]Q10: MTP connection for my phone is on. Why doesn't my pc/laptop recognize it?[/SIZE]Try a different USB port and / or cable- try rebooting the computer (up to 3 times). Try USB port that is 2.0 rather than 3.0.Some Win 8 users report issues, consult Win 8 support. Uninstall and then re-install the LG drivers from Here

Well done mate, defiantly needed here :good:
Looks great Pony! And I see some familiar faces that have pop'd in here....
Pony,
I have a couple FAQ's that I'd like to nominate for your list (there may be additional answers that people will want to offer, but the answers are as complete a list that I can think of/find):
Q. After flashing the ROM, I get a popup saying "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped."
A.
1) Clear data for the Media Storage service
2) Reflash the ROM when reinstalling the apps don't restore data
Q. My PC/Laptop doesn't recognize that my phone is connected when MTP connected:
A.
1) use a different USB port
2) don't use a USB 3.0 port
2) use a different USB to micro cable
3) reboot PC/Laptop: may require multiple reboots of PC/Laptop (standard windows fix is to reboot 3 times, to see if it fixes the prob, before calling their helpless desk)
4) are you using an Windows 8 PC/Laptop? Change to a different computer
5) reinstall/manually install the drivers (http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-E970)

A friend of mine (here, in India) is planning to buy the Optimus G E970, an unlocked version. I was wondering,
1. Is there any way to remove the AT&T logo from the notification bar, except installing a custom statusbar? Open to custom stock (LG) roms, not stock android based roms. If not, does it stay constant at AT&T or does it change according to current carrier?
2. Is the deep sleep issue gone in the JellyBean update?
3. Techradar says the contacts app was very erratic, and used to take upto 30 seconds to open on occasion. Did any of you guys face this issue on ICS? Is it there in JellyBean.
4. Also, since the phone is based on AT&T, how will the modem perform?
Many thanks to whoever takes the time to answer these questions for me...
@Pony Express this question may be worthy of a placement in your Q&A

I have the AT&T version which I am using in India... I had to use LGNPST to load the latest firmware since OTA does not work... Currently it is rooted, unlocked, with vanilla rootbox running.....
1. I don't remember seeing any AT&T logo in the statusbar. Also when you put in an Indian SIM, the service provider name will be displayed in the statusbar. This is on stock firmware, un-rooted and with bootloader locked.
2. No deep sleep issue
3. No issues with contacts. This depends on rom I guess.
4. the usual bug with JB radio is present with call indicated as disconnected but available in the notification area.
P.S. If you want to unlock bootloader with freegee app, suggest you use the CWM recovery instead of TWRP.... I used TWRP first and soft-bricked my phone. Then had to go back to stock and repeat the whole process again.
hope this helps...

I read in a couple of places that its permanent, which would be annoying. Since this phone was designed only for AT&T, i assumed that the word "AT&T" was just pasted there, as opposed to reading the name of the actual carrier, displaying it there.
About the modem issue, if i understood correctly, it will say call disconnected, but the call will still go through? Can't the ICS modem be used instead?
The other Modem issue I am curious about is one i faced on my own S2. The stock modem that came with the Indian firmware was terrible, and hardly ever gave me a data connection. As soon as i switched modems, the problem was rectified. Now if Samsung can drop the ball on a phone meant to be sold and used in India, i can only assume that something similar can happen with an AT&T phone.

Yes, you are absolutely right - "it will say call disconnected, but the call will still go through". ICS modem can also be used. Check the thread on available radios under the General section(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270319). This thread talks about each radio and the issues they have. Also some roms have GPS/ LTE problems. If you can do without these, I guess you can use the ICS radio.
Basic question, will mods and apps made for other LGOG's (Sprint, international) work on our phone. I understand that some get into framework and such but i would like to know about launchers, q-slide, and such
Thanks
Hi guys ! I have a problem with noozxoide and google play music, the equalizer worked only one time but non it doesn't. I also tried DSP manager , same result. Any solutions ?
Envoyé depuis mon LG-E970 en utilisant Tapatalk 4 Beta
odd, once unlocked and you use a different provider's SIM, it should not show AT&T in the status bar.
mine shows T-Mobile (it showed a different logo when I used one of those prepaid sims).
I think I've messed up again. Whenever I try to turn my wifi on, it gets stuck at the "turning on" status and then crashes after a couple of minutes. I have no error messages. It just closes after some time. The last thing I remember I did regarding wifi was to recover a stored password using Wifi Password Recovery App. Then this happened.
My phone is rooted and I have cwm. I've tried basic troubleshooting like power cycling, deleting wpa supplicant file (found in a post somewhere), tried turning wifi on using allsahare play, untweaking internet, but they just didn't work.
I'm ready to flash a stock ROM. But I'm just curious if you have any other suggestions before I do it because I've read some posts saying that reflashing didn't work as well.
Please help XDA Developers!
I guess no one has the solution yet. But I have discovered something, and I hope this would help. I found the file, init.qcom.wifi.sh, using root browser. I executed it and I got a script output stating an error. WI-FI chip ID is not specified. I have attached screenshots so you may as well check them out. Also, I noticed the files under date\misc\wifi are all 0.00 B which i think means they are empty. Please help experts.

Now regarding this issue u've just mentioned I'll try to investigate it further !!!

Try reverting back to stock temporarely with Odin, this happens in my Note 3 and used to do the same in my S2, but only with the proximity sensor. The idea is the same, replace all settings to stock and flash whatever you want after (boot the stock though and test wifi just in case).
Why this works i have no idea, but it saved my arse loads of times. I can guess some internal devices might have flags configured which could be chip based rather then ROM/emmc related, but that is only my supposition.
Please read and DO AT YOUR OWN RISK
After searching everywhere and trying to get a clear answer on the Global ROM_ROW support for Android 11 on the Lenovo Legion Duel (one), all I could find was don't use the Chinese ROM as it has many issues. So, like any person told not to I tried it. Though it worked I had multiple issues with sensors and my cell service in the USA. I went back to GLOBAL ROM .332 which was the most stable for me but did lose my casting ability for playing my games to my TV. This is a deal breaker for me as I take my phone on the go and hook to friends and family's TV's for Steam, Emulation, etc and we use the casting, as this allows me to play my games. Note I also use it for Gamepass cast to the screen for friends to watch the game etc.
I finally found an Android 11 non China ROM, but it was an EE ROM on another site (which I had to pay for) but NO Global ROW ROM as installed on the phone when I purchased it. After backing up my data yet again, I tried to install this one (see link below for how to install). Once I installed and rebooted the Lenovo Legion L79031 v EE 12.5.251_ST rom, and set my cell APN, Turned the 5G to NSA-SA and networks preference (to NR-LTE-GDSM etc...) it began to function. After prox. 30 seconds after a reboot from changing the settings, I got a notification for an update (YES OTA). The update is for 12.5.320 which has notification fixes and bug fixes. Hopefully, this will be my last time having to flash the device! But I can confirm the EE rom for 11 does function on T-Mobile in the USA and works with out issue so far, has only been a short time for usage, but finally a solution for me.
Pros:
Android 11
Battery life improved
Smoother touch rate
OTA UPDATES
(Everything seems to function including cell and text messages on USA T-Mobile including the 5G NR)
Cameras work for everything even BARCODE readers and Mobile banking depo which was an issue before (at least for me). Pic snap faster but no real software updates from last build for controls as far as I can tell.
ZUI loads much faster.
Cons:
Lost all settings backups seems to cause issue when restoring so manually re-adding is the best solution.
APN setting and other settings might need to be redone, if installing from a back up or updating with OTA update.
Rebooting seems to take longer.

As for what everyone really wants the links and how to install, I have linked to a video I send to others to use for installing the ROM, it is NOT my video, but the best one on YOUTUBE( I found recently); I had my 8 year old son help me a few weeks ago update a friends Duel and I let my son follow the vid and install the rom, OBV I did the downloads on the PC and setup the file location but he was able to follow the steps well to load the files to the phone, which is why I suggest to us it. The first time installing is scary! There is BIG BIG BIG pre-req beforehand, back up your phones drives as mentioned in other post on this forum! I have had to use mine two or three times and with out it I would have been SOL! See links below for ROM and VID.
I do not take any responsibility if you brick your device or LOOSE your data, etc or if this doesn’t work on another US carrier, as I have only tested AT&T (friends’ phone) and T-Mobile (MINE). I will try to help if it’s messed up, but please back your stuff up!
(Not my video, but how to install)
ROM- EE version (I believe this to be UK ROM) (Again I PAID FOR THIS, but I am sharing it for FREE, as we should all have access to these OTA).

I know its only about a day but does everything still seem to be working? Camera, triggers, fingerprint scanner, notifications, etc. I'm on the china rom and have been searching for a fix pretty much everyday. It would be nice to have everything working on the phone

Everything is working smoothly for me. I haven't had any issues that are show stoppers.
I did find it harder to change my network preferences, for cell service as I have to search for it vs going to advance setting. But again this is to change from NR/GSM/CMDA/GSM etc. most people leave this a lone but I move it around depending on the area and service I am in.

(Everything seems to function including cell and text messages on USA T-Mobile including the 5G NR)
Cameras work for everything even BARCODE readers and Mobile banking depo which was an issue before (at least for me). Pic snap faster but no real software updates from last build for controls as far as I can tell.
ZUI loads much faster.
Cons:
Lost all settings backups seems to cause issue when restoring so manually re-adding is the best solution.
APN setting and other settings might need to be redone, if installing from a back up or updating with OTA update.
Rebooting seems to take longer.

As for what everyone really wants the links and how to install, I have linked to a video I send to others to use for installing the ROM, it is NOT my video, but the best one on YOUTUBE( I found recently); I had my 8 year old son help me a few weeks ago update a friends Duel and I let my son follow the vid and install the rom, OBV I did the downloads on the PC and setup the file location but he was able to follow the steps well to load the files to the phone, which is why I suggest to us it. The first time installing is scary! There is BIG BIG BIG pre-req beforehand, back up your phones drives as mentioned in other post on this forum! I have had to use mine two or three times and with out it I would have been SOL! See links below for ROM and VID.
I do not take any responsibility if you brick your device or LOOSE your data, etc or if this doesn’t work on another US carrier, as I have only tested AT&T (friends’ phone) and T-Mobile (MINE). I will try to help if it’s messed up, but please back your stuff up!
(Not my video, but how to install)
ROM- EE version (I believe this to be UK ROM) (Again I PAID FOR THIS, but I am sharing it for FREE, as we should all have access to these OTA).

This should be fixed, GOOGLE blocked it due to a bunch of attempts to hack into the account. Try the link again it should be view all, allowing everyone to download it, even without a google account. Try and let me know. Thanks.

Did you install from a Global Rom and if so what version I installed from .332 as said with no issues. Spoke to someone else today on Facebook, and he was able to install and get it working as well. More than happy to help if I can.
I think that's the incompatible message
Get back to android 10 then flash the rom again
On .332 i get the incompatible hardware message.
You can fix that by flashing persist img
So i need to flash back the chinese rom,backup persist then install .332 and restore persist?

you dont exatly need the chinese rom just any working stable android 10 rom. flash rom then backup the persist and modem. then try android 11 again.
there is a guide here by mrgreapes
Incompatible Hardware with System ROW ROM 332
When I install the .332 global rom, when I start the device, I receive a message that says: the hardware is incompatible with the current system. Someone with a similar problem?

Hi i'm been looking for this good news for a long time ago. I have 3 questions. The first one, can I install the EE 12.5.251 row ROM directly with the qfil software, I mean I just exctracting the 251 ROM on a folder with the same name on the c unit and then run the qfil software?… The second one: I'm on CN ROM 12.5.225, so I wan't to know if there is any big chance to get the black screen as before when I tried to get back to the global? And the last one, the video on your post of how to change to global is broken can you fixed please?. Thank you very much for your time and patience. Greetings
I used 12.5.320 and I started to have service issues after about 3 months and the OS crashed, most stable version for me is still 12.0.332. I have not tried using the newest china ROM and thought about trying it
Please could you reupload the video cuase it's not available Now
