Once again I'm making a thread to help out us wind and mobi users get to the questions that need to be answered....this thread comes from the days of when I had my g2x and someone made a thread similar to this since then I have made one for galaxy s3 and note2 users, someone else made one for galaxy s4 users and now I'm back and going it again.
If you got a question and I'll try and find you an answer!

For development, do we follow the AT&T thread or the T-Mobile thread?

I would follow the tmobile thread but not a lot of stuff is in there right but if you need to do a root I'll make a video tutorial on how to do it

Did you root using the chinese superuser method or some less suspected method?

are you guys using any custom roms?
i'm guess only the roms from the t-mobile g2 forum is compatible? or anything labeled with d801?

General question since I didn't want to start a new thread...
Does WindMobile's D801 come factory unlocked or is it locked to the carrier?
Thanks!
Can you help me get recovery on wind LG g2?

Like they said man, their are tons of thread asking the same thing...
But to answer your question, every international Rom will work on our model, however you will loose wifi calling (it's tmobile specific and unless you flash a stock Rom you won't have in any other Rom).

Don't do it. There is another thread in this forum where some one lost their, hspa data.
It's generally better to wait until ruins stabilize brie you start flashing unless you are masochistic.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Yah you need to do some reading.
That said, Android Revolution and TrickDroid work great for TMo and have all the TMo stuff including wifi calling included. There probably are others, but these two are by far the most popular. I personally run TrickDroid.
Hey guys,
I came across this thread in reference to Framaroot, a one click root method via apk that had the Nexus 4 listed as compatible. I downloaded it onto a Sprint LG OG at Best Buy and it did indeed work. I ended up freegeeing and installing a custom ROM and recovery on it. Let's see if anyone working at Best Buy notices If anyone wants to test it on the E970, here is the thread link to the page.

Worked for me using the Gandalf method. LGNPST, Root, FreeGee, all with one quick reboot.
Did not work for me using both

I tried both and I'm on the JB OTA.

Well I guess I had LGNPSTd over to 11c so that may be why
worked like a charm with gandalf exploit android 4.0.4

I'm hoping it can somehow override the unlocked bootloader requirement. I'm gonna try it regardless.
I'm willing. Where is installer.

Forget it. As of now it says, "Your device currently isn't supported. " Anyways. When it tries to unlock the bootloader, it'll most likely end up just rebooting. And the ROMs will probably be for the P760 (As CM supports it officially on the site)
Yep does not work. Unsupported.

There was a small window open for the P769 but LG took care of that. Do you think they check our IMEI and block the token?

If we could get it to unlock for us thats all that matters. . We can flash our own cwm version...

In all honesty I don't even know at this point. I'd imagine it only "works" on phones that are "officially" unlockable. They even stated that just about every Verizon phone is out the door lol.
I saw p760 is on the support list, not 769.
So no luck for 769 user here?

I look at the P769 as a T-Mobile phone instead of an LG phone sometimes. They do not want the L9 to run CyanogenMod. Plain and simple. They want us to get a Nexus for that.
Sent from my LG-P769 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well from a theoretical standpoint, it would possibly unlock with a P760 ROM(?), like we had to do to unlock our bootloader.

Probably, but... And here it comes:
I think it was xonar_ from my old OB forum who found out, that even if you flash you phone with a kdz file, some partitions remain untouched/simply dont get flashed. Maybe if you manually would e.g. flash every single one, you might have a chance. But that being said, we need a guineapig

I'm new to the device and I've seen a few things unfamiliar to me such as GEEB & Geespr...I googled GEEB and only came across ROM threads with GEEB in the title. I've checked all the threads for the device hoping to find a clear definition. I couldn't find anything, so what is GEEB and Geespr ?

Short answer. You want to use geeb since you have att/e970. Geespr is sprint/ls970.

Unlocking is required before bloatware can be removed, also needed for installing recovery used to flash custom ROMs. If you bloat is removed without unlocking you will get security error soft brick upon reboot needing lgnpst to restore.
Phones rooted, was running pa beta 6 but switched to m3 snapshot...I came from the GNote and that phone didn't have an unlocked bootloader either. The only phone I ever bootliad unlocked was way back in the day when I had a HTC g1

I'll say it again, even if LG releases an update AT&T will file it in the trash can. I have had two phones that have had to be unbranded in order to apply the official updates released from manufacturer.

This device was EOLd very early in its life. To expect further updates is noobish.

I hope it's true.
Not trying to be negative, just realistic. If it gets updated, great. But more than likely, it will not. If there is an update, the only shot we have at seeing it is if lg leaks it. Att has put this phone in their rearview mirror a long time ago.
