The process involves rooting your phone, unlocking the bootloader, and installing a recovery. Once that is done you can install custom roms. I would recommend skipping cyanogenmod 11 and just jump to one of the Android 6 (marshmallow) roms that can be found here. Listed below are references that should help you accomplish your task.

The link below explains how to back up your EFS, which is something you definitely want to do.

Marshmallow for the E970 is only for the adventuresome. The less adventurous should stick with a Lollipop ROM. I have only tried 3 or 4 but like Resurrection Remix v5.6.4 which can be found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-att/development/rom-t2869745 .
Note: It is not the same as version v5.6.8 found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/opt...-resurrection-remix-updated-11-18-15-t3253357

Hello. I decided to buy note 2 and want to sell LG OPTIMUS L 9 P760 to cex store. However, my question is about going back to stock rom.
I have installed stock rom and unrooted the device. However, I can still go to bootloader and the version is artas version because i used his kitkat rom. So is it bad? Are they gonna notice that?
Thank you very much

hi to all, i am using lg optimus g e975 Korean in Pakistan. android 4.1.2 installed on it. now i want to upgrade it to higher version.

There's no official Kit Kat for your phone. You would have to use a custom rom like CyanogenMod or something along those lines. The LG Support Tools sucks. You should try using this:

I gave you the link to the latest KDZ (official firmware) for the Indian version in your other thread. I'm also not sure if many custom roms support the language you are looking for either. Basically you would want to root (Safe Root or Framaroot should work) then use FreeGee to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery. Then boot to recovery, backup rom, and wipe, and install new one.
So I have an HTC HD7 from T-Mobile laying and I heard from a friend that you can install a android rom into it. If so, how could I do this? Does cyanogenmod work or just the stock version of Kitkat or jellybean?

Hi, I have the version 7.1.2 of android on my phoenix 4 and I want to update it to 8.1 but although the official update exists, my cell phone simply does not receive it because it is from at & t and I currently do not use at & t. Can anybody help me?

I too am trying to update and no longer in AT&T range. Even using LG Bridge, it comes back saying it can't determine version and won't update. I found some discussions that "Tec's Aristo 2 Tutorial's" should work for Phoenix 4, but those that have successfully rooted and/or installed new ROM seem to lose touchscreen functionality and even flashing stock back does not restore the touchscreen.
So seems it is close, but not close enough to risk turning it into a brick. Anyone out there have luck with updating this phone without connection to AT&T towers?
