at&t Optimus G roms vs international ? - AT&T LG Optimus G

Hey Guys I was just playing around with some roms since I got my phone and I was wondering can I flash a international LG Optimus g rom on my At&t version of the phone or will doing that brake it ?

They both use different kernels....I think it'll get stuck at boot.

what if I flash a new kernel ?

You can flash anything that uses [GEE] sources, so anything from international OR Sprint that says [GEE] will work as long as you flash a [GEEB] kernel afterward.
However, if it says [LS970] or [FL180], those roms wont work. Look for [GEE] and you'll be good.

So if it's says Paranoid Android Mako it is safe to flash ?

Old post but I'm poking around for a solution.
My E970 has been running Android 4.12 ROM eg8 beta 7-26 and associated kernel by MysteryEmotionz flawlessly for about a year. GPS locks quickly. I was able to install and configure Paulicat's LG Official Kitkat 4.4.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2771440 and it ran perfectly (no FC's) with one big but...
No GPS, which is a must have. GPS Toolbox never shows any satellites despite it showing satellites even when I am indoors and a few feet from a window on JB. I eventually tried numerous full wipes and flashes of the AT&T JB modem with both TWRP & CWM Touch, reinstalling stock AT&T 10j then wiping and reflashing the Korean KitKat ported from the [FL180]. I've tried both Paulicat's and the deodexed version by gourab4u with the same issue.
I've tried various build.prop edits and gps.conf changes. Is no one else experiencing this? Ideas?

[Q] Kernel Problem (I think?)

Not sure exactly what to ask to really get a good answer, so I'll just lay a bit of history out and explain my thoughts.
Okie doke. So I have an Optimus G, yes, the E970, but it was apparently a test phone - not for sale on the side of the back casing, all that jazz. At first, this didn't cause any trouble at all, really. I've flashed ROMs and kernels up flawlessly without experiencing problems outside the normal ones that others had. I noticed difficulty in doing this more and more as after I flashed houstonn's RB ROM. I found I could use 4/20 and below versions with no problem.
List of ROMS I can flash successfully and use for indefinite amount of time:
SnowJB
SnowJB's Carbon ROM
CFX ROM
Any RootBox ROM before 4/26
CM 10.1 from OA Dev
Liquid Smooth
So I've been thinking it has to be a kernel issue. But that's also weird, because up until recently, I was able to flash any kernel on all of those ROMs. So I tested it out. If I use those those ROMs without flashing kernels, I'm good to go. I can even flash radios fine. However, I CANNOT flash the houcha kernel on any of those ROMs, or I can't boot (LG splash, then backlit blackness for indefinite amount of time). Same with MysteryEmtotionz -- ROMs will not boot with 5.1.1. Haven't tried any before that. Houcha kernels before the "geeb" updates, like v12 and below, I was able to use.
I have LGNPST'd so many times to wipe my phone of any kind of data I think would interfere. I've used the kernel cleaner script before flashing kernels too to see if it works to no avail. I've formatted my internal AND external in case anything may have been left over and interfering.
I would appreciate any kind of help or direction with this because I'm totally lost. I enjoy all of these ROMs, I really do. However, I like the sound of the features of the kernels, like the amplified sound and awesome variety of governors being added and would LOVE (practically begging) to have this issue solved.
Btw, using TWRP v2.5.0.0 for all of this. Tried CWM when it first occurred and somehow lost my recovery and had to LGNPST, so I've been avoiding it.

ME's kernel b18c1 or w/e is for stock roms only, and houcha is for AOSP roms only. Have you done JellyBean OTA?

Sounds like you need either OTA to 4.1.2 or LGNPST to it. Or you need to use teenybin to update your partitions. I believe on rootbox page it says that anything after a certain date (I believe it's 4/26) you need to be running off 4.1.2 firmware.

Drock is correct. That's your problem. You need to use lgnpst to flash teeny bin.

I've always OTA'd to 4.1.2. so I assume my rpm/tz to be updated. Is there any definite way I can check after being OTA updated to 4.1.2?

If you've OTA'd then it is updated.
It seems that if I format data with TWRP, as in select format data and type yes to proceed, I can flash those ROMs with only slight difficulty and confidently flash other kernels with no problem. Odd issue it seems, but at least there's a fix. Thanks for your help!

[Q] Installed AOSP 4.3 to Verizon SCH-i545

Well, I think I downloaded the wrong rom and flashed the wrong file. Here is what I downloaded and flashed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272
For whatever reason, I thought it would work. In my brilliance, I didn't perform a backup. I still have access to TWRP, so what do I do? Also, does 4.3 exist for the Verizon flavor that is Google Play edition?
Thats for the i9505 international version. Theres some 4.3 ports in the dev section. Since you didnt make a backup of stock youll have to odin back to stock and start over. All the odin images are in the dev section as well.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
Did you think it would work because of the "guide" on how to run other carrier's ROMs?
And no one else I know is working on Google Edition 4.3. Mine's not done yet and I've been to focused on 4.2.2's build recently. I'll get back to it eventually.
As far as a fix:
Install another ROM. If you are desperate for SOMETHING 4.3, then install cyanogenmod 10.2(either of the 2 unofficial builds)

Thanks gents. The only reason I'm itching for 4.3 is access to Bluetooth LE for my Fitbit. I used Cyanogenmod for a minute on 4.2 and it was amazing, but BT LE brought me back to stock. It lately started doing that Google Services using 70%+ of the battery, so I started hunting for a 4.3 rom.. in the wrong forum. WOOPS.
I'll probably go back stock until I can get 4.3 rom that has everything working.

Hi, just bought an og ,coming from HTC phone. There r some new things it looks like. What is a EFS ? Back up EFS partition ? I'm gonna used the my att og on straight talk , any things I should watch out for ? Should stay 100 % stock until service is activated? I'm looking for a near stock stable optimized rom, any to recommend ? Which kernel is good for it ? Htcs have hboot , it looks like lgs use different things , how do I go around flashing radios ? Excuse me for throwing out tons of noob questions , gonna start somewhere
0 help lol
Welcome. There is a zip file that you put on your external SD card somewhere in the optimus g forums that will backup your efs partition.
Edit: I found it for you if you haven't had any luck finding it. Also.. The efs supposedly holds your imei number and stuff.

It is real, there are a lot of hard bricks because of it, look in the Optimus 3D P920 forum, a lot people lost their IMEI and couldn't get it going. And yes, you can flash different radios

MysteryEmotion's eg8 ROM is the newest and may have the best chance of being actively maintained in the future. He also builds his own kernel with tweaks.

Mystery's eg8 is based on 20j 4.1.2 stock with addons and enhancements. I think Houstonn's is a port from another OG that was released with jellybean before AT&T got the update.
Can you please clarify a bit? Do you mean stock LG or stock Google/Android.
Stock LG: Either go with MysteryEmotion's eg8 Or SnowJBLeaopard's SnowJB -almost forgot SlickRom, that is super debloated, but not really to my liking. (forgot who posted it)
Stock Google/Android: Either Shelnutt's Unofficial 10.1 Or houstonn's Vanilla Rootbox. The latter has a lot of "bells and whistles" while the former is basically stock. Also should mention TuxAttack's Beanstalk. Also a lot of bells and whistles though.

Personally I would go with dvhexers CM 10.1.2, and his included kernel is quite good. This is stock android/CM though, with a bit of searching and patience you can run LG Home on top of this, with the original weather/clock and calendar.
i.e.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198225
So then you have the best of both. Too many options for you not to get out there any try a few. But @dvhexers CM10.1 I think was perfectly stable.
I am using the JellyBean ROM. I have been on it for about a month now and haven't had any issues that wasn't caused by me
Though, other than that I suggest mysteryemotionz
okay, I'll probably go with ME eg8 and his V6.1 kernel for 4.1.2. just being on the safe side , should i flash a JB radio for this rom ? if yes, do i flash in RECOVERY ? i have found a radio called CWM-ATTJB-Radio, is this the right one ? I am being carefully about this because my HTC flash radios in Hboot with PG86IMG files... as far as flashing kernel, do u guys recommend flashing with Flash Image GUI for this phone ? and is wiping Dalvik always needed for flashing kernels for this phone ? i thanked everyone that helped.

Sorry, for some reason I called the ROM 'Beanstalk' Jellybean.
It was ported from the infuse 4G. I have tried just about every ROM and this one is my favorite.
Maybe it is just me, but again I haven't had any real issue with it. I did have a kernel crash from MysteryEmotionz kernel though. I then flashed Smoochas and all is good.
The crash occurred whenever I tried to run a QR code app. (any QR code app)

ME's eg8 is modified stock, it should come with his kernel already. Yes the radio's flash in CWM as zips, you can manually push with ADB/Fastboot commands, but why bother.
What are you referring to by "Flash image GUI" ? If you mean "clockwork mod recovery" or "TWRP" then yes. Once you download the freegee app from the market, it will give you the option for either, choose which ever you like more, personally I prefer CWM. Yes always wipe dalvik cache after you flash a kernel, so it can recreate the DEX files for that particular kernels methods of execution.

Flash image GUI is an image flashing app from the market. MiRaGe, known for his rom and kernel works for Optimus V and HTC Evo V 4G, recommends flashing his kernels with this app. I have been using it to flash kernels. So i was just wondering if this would work with kernels for this phone , i guess every phone is different.

I'm not familiar with those apps, and don't recall seeing them mentioned here at all. FWIW, I personally avoid any apps that flash things. They may make things convenient, but I've seen too many issues caused on too many devices by apps that flash stuff.
Just read the relevant threads to learn about what you are doing, and flash manually from recovery. That way, you're in control of what you're doing. Less chance of snafus caused by incompatibilities...
i am in complete stock . rg8 is 700 mb ?.... most roms i use for my HTC are around 150..
Thanks everyone for all the help. Now I'm running eg8 , everything seems fine execept the first time I took a picture had a very strange crash. The screen went blank and codes started rolling up the screen , it went on for about 3 minutes then phone restarted itself ...

[Q] LG Optimus G Shows up as MAKO

Hello there fellow members, I was wondering if any of you could give me a heads up on why is my OG appearing as a Mako device? it has prevented me from flashing custom radios which i need as i am experiencing problems with WIFI (it connects, but if i leave the wifi zone and come back it will not connect anymore until reboot) and the zip files requiere a GEEB product ID.
I havent flashed any nexus 4 ROMS, only had to do LGNPST once because of a brick with freegee, but i used the stock TOT file as i remember. Best Regards!

From what I read if basically any part of your phone is 4.2+ its marked Mako because the e970 and Nexus 4 share some of the same hardware specs. Not sure why it would prevent you from installing custom radios though. What recovery and modem zip are you using?
What recovery are you currently on , if possible also mention the ROM version.
Maybe recovery has something to do with it

Hello! Im using TWRP Recovery, i was using CWM before but had to change to TWRP to flash CM11. As for the Radio, its the stock JB radio, it did not gave any problems before, so i dont think thats the prob.
Also i have the same issue with diferent ROMS, so that might not be the way to go either. Current rom is last JB stock from ATT
You have given me an idea, i will roll back to CWM, to see if that solves the issue, as i recall the first time i began having the issue was when i changed to TWRP.
Thank you guys! I will post the results.:fingers-crossed:
It seems like that was the problem, switching back to phils CW lets me change wifi addresses and connect and reconnect normally. Still, the mako Id won't let me install custom radios, as it yields error 7 because of build prop I suppose, but it is all working normally now.
Thank you guys so much for your help and time!!!! Have a great weekend

Need to switch to jelly bean

Hey guys! I'm using a Galaxy Note with a Bell board (was originally AT&T but that bricked because at the time I thought flashing an N7000 ROM would work, D'oh!) and I want to upgrade to a Jelly Bean Rom. I'm using Blackstar XI, a 4.0.4 ROM, and I'm looking for a lightweight JB rom. It can lack stylus/pen support, I found myself not using that feature as much as I thought I would.
Would I run into any issues using a QuincyATT Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 ROM, considering it's a Bell note board? Would I need to unlock my SIM first? And I recall there being a trick with Notepad++ I needed to do in order to make it work, even on my AT&T board.
I just have an issue with heavy RAM usage at boot and I can't even run some apps, since I know touchwiz is stupid.
Anyone willing to help me get it running on my note? Any help would be appreciated!

If you like blackstar, I would just flash Blackstar Blackjelly after doing a backup. It's what I've been running as my go-to on my Telus note. The other jb's are great too, but cm comes with the odd small bug like echo on speaker phone. Most of the customizations make them worth trying though.

Sweet. I could give that a try if the Cyanogenmod ROM doesn't work. Is there anything I need to do in preparation, since this is technically a Bell note? Or can I just go ahead and flash the ROM without any changes to the ZIP?

I'm assuming you have an unlocked bootloader already since you are running cm. Just be sure to have latest cm recovery or gimmeitorilltell's twrp (although other versions work with Jellybean, if you try kitkat or lollipop you'll have problems). Make sure you are flashing a quincyatt rom.
I have been using SGH-I717ATT-UCMD3-Modem with great success for a radio. Your mileage may vary.
If you get no signal, before blaming the rom, first check your mobile networks access point names and settings to be sure they match your carrier. (A good idea is to take a couple screenshots of your settings now before you flash any new roms as there are quite a few numbers involved)

Good news! I tried the CM10.1.3 ROM and it worked well minus two small gripes:
1. Occasional freeze/hang on lock screen, causing it to reboot
2. Random artifacting/crashes during video playback/browsing through gallery
I'm gonna say this is the best performing ROM I've tried so far, but I'm going to give BlackJelly a try! I'll keep you posted. Just figured I'd give Cyanogenmod a proper shot now that I know how to install ROMs!

Time for BlackJelly! Downloading now.
I also may need some help getting the SIM to work once this ROM is on. So that way, I can use this stock-rom based OS for actual phone things instead of it just being a tiny tablet! Yay!
Can you point me in the direction of the latest TWRP recovery that I can flash through Odin?

I'm not sure about Odin, but I flashed the latest TWRP to my device using Rashr from Google Play store.
Other install methods are described here:

Upgrading my recovery now, yay! I also have the Phase kernel because I've heard a lot of good things about it.

Backup, backup, backup. If TWRP successfully installs then backup. If something goes wrong you can revert everything or just the boot partition. (Kernel)
