Sorry if this has already been covered before, but ive been looking around a lot and havent had much luck.
I just picked up a lg optimus l7 in china, and found out that theres no way to access the google play store or add a google account. I looked into it and rooting seemed like the way to solve all that. I'm assuming rooting will allow all the normal android capabilities to return.
I'm fairly computer savvy and feel comfortable going through the root tutorials to root my device, however thee was a few things I wasnt sure about.
One, when choosing the firmware, should pick the one my phone is currently using? for example, my device is running V10c, so I should download the China v10c firmware, right? and then follow the rooting tutorial for v10c firmware? and even though it says china unicom underneath, the phone should still function as it normally did after a successful root, because I am using a china mobile sim card with the phone, llike there is no risk of it loosing its calling and messaging functionality?
Also, will the rooting process affect data stored on the sim card at all? I dont think it does...
Thank you very much, Im sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I have looked quite a bit. Its also kind of annoying to have to deal with chinese internet, so the less time I have to spend trudging through the great firewall the better.
thanks in advance
As far as I know china don't have play store, you can retrieve the file from the other firmware.
I don't think there will be a problem with the messaging and phone when flashing with other firmware. As an example for this is my phone, my phone is from Canada a P705g and I successfully flash it with a v10i and v10k Europe open. And I'm using it here in the Philippines and I'm using the simple blue rom from snx.
You can follow this thread:

thanks for the help,
now im sure this has been answered, but I have been unable to find information on which version of the firmware to select. Does it matter whether you choose v10a, v10c, or v10i? besides the occasional change in rooting process, do they offer anything different?
again, thank you for being very helpful.

actually i really dont know the diff between the versions, most of the devs and users here prefer to use the europe open v10i coz they said its more stable and also the v10k. as you can see on the devs sections they always suggest to use these firmwares because they successfully rooted it. in fact most the custom roms, simpleblue from snx and cyan optimus are based on these two firmwares.
for rooting with v10a, v10c and v10i, you can use petrescu rooting guide here. this is the first guide I used since my phone P705g comes with v10c.
for v10k here.
Alright, so I downloaded the open europe v10c to flash on to my phone after rooting it. Ive followed the guide and had some issues. I rooted the device using the runme.bat program, then I used the lg support tool to try and find the divers, but when I clicked to install the drivers, nothing shows up. So i connected the phone using the install option and it seemed to install the drivers itself. I installed the parser, enabled the enabler and ran the too to flash v10c onto my device. It worked fine and then got stuck at 4%. I was finally able to get it past the 4 % by starting the upgrading while in emergency mode. This works until 99% then the program says it looses communication. It looked like it installed fine, however it will restart constantly when turned on so its unusable.
could this be a problem with the firmware? or is there something else ive done wrong, ive been trying to download another firmware to flash, but i havent been able to get to the download page from the main website, has anyone else had this problem?
im on a l7 p705, does it matter that i tried to flash firmware for a p700 onto it?
thank you very much
My phone is P705G with the original firmware V10c, I was able to root my phone using petrscu's rooting method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32031942

I was able to root fine with the guide, but I'm having trouble flashing another stock firmware. Ive tried europe open v10c and Hong kong v10c as well. Ive followed the guides perfectly, with the exception of the driver installation that i mentioned earlier. When I use the support tool and click to install drivers, a window opens up to select my phone, but no option exists. But I think my phone loaded the appropriate driver. that would be the only situation where I would have gone away from the tutorial, but ive looked around and havent been able to find any information on it.
When I try to flash the firmware, the updater gets stuck at 4%, I've gotten it to work by playing around with things, but nothing is consistent, (ive tried disabling the lg modem, but that doesnt do anything consistantly) then it reaches 99% and im left with a phone that keeps restarting for no reason. Ill try again with the firmware you mentioned and download the europe v10i and see if that does anything.
by the way, thanks for all the help you have given me!

your welcome, chpv. sorry to hear about your problem in flashing, I really don't have any idea whats the problem. Im no expert on this, I just follow all the instructions given here on this forum and so far I didnt experience the same problem as you are. I hope somebody will come and help you.
but for now, can follow this guide here, and use the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe for flashing. install the usb driver first before flashing.
and download the usb driver from here. I assume your using windows.
sorry, I forgot to mention. I'm using windows 7 64bit
Do you know if anyone has been able to flash a different firmware onto a chinese p705? could it just be that the chinese phones are slightly different. I keep trying, reinstalling, going through the steps online, trying other methods ive found as well, and everything just gets me stuck in what i think is called a boot loop. I keep scouring the forums and finding nothing. Ive seen tutorials for harder ways of flashing firmware, but it seems that if all I want to do is flash stock firmware to get the access to the normal google functions, it shouldnt be this difficult. Ive thought about trying the "harder" way, but there are a few steps Im not sure how to do, and there doesnt seem to be a video tutoral
hmmm.
So sorry to hear that, I'm not a developer and just ordinary user so cant really help you much further.
Why dont you try to pm some of the devs here like petroscu and xorox, they are one of the first to root our phones. You can also try normand, or just scan the p700 development thread and pm one those guys that you think can help.

I tried updating my d802 from stock rom but rooted, when trying it reboots and gives an error and such,
So I searched around at the forum and saw that some people saying it has something to do with the recovery, ''TWRP''
Sadly I'm not familiar with recovery and all them software names.
So... Can someone explain how I know which recovery I have and how to get the new ''internet fix'' update for my G2 without resetting my phone.
Thank you,

If I remember correctly U can't upgrade your phone with stock firmware if U have root, someone even wrote that the LG Support Tool does not see Your phone.
I'm using Pardus rom, it's 10a v. maybe try it (the new version is going to be on KitKat)
So it all started today when I tried to flash Cloudy G3, it didn't work, it soft bricked I restored backup, all good. After this, my phone started acting weird by powering up again after I powered it off, not opening Quick Remote and saying SIM is not ready. So I decided to give Clopudy G3 a try once more but I needed TWRP, I installed the TWRP i needed but I got error status 7 so I used flashify which was recommended to me. Well I flashed TWRP using flashify and, now when I try to get into recovery mode it enters fastboot mode and stays there. I figure the solution to this is going back to stock, and I found that the best method is from a dude called Hyleton in XDA But that falishify thing left me without a download mode! No recovery, no download... is there even a fix for this?. Now my phone is the international version (D802) but this guy has trillions of firmaware for lots of different D802s and I don't know which one to download and use! I downloaded the one in the folder that says "D802 tot" and selected the 32GB one. Can somebode PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP ME, my knowledge on rooting is pretty basic, and a lot of the things in that thread, like for example the word "TOT" I don't understand! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476&highlight=d802
Now can somebody please explain this guide to me? I am wanting to do the second method (the TOT method). I would really appreciate this, REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
well
I wont be much help, but maybe i can simplify for people who come accross this thread. Ive read it a few times and im quite confused.
You said you flashed cloudyG3, had problems, then went back to stock.
What recovery did you use to backup, restore, and flash cloudy g3?
No i want to flash stock, after trying to flash Cloudy G3 I used flashify to flash TWRP and it went nuts and and now my phone is working strangely. I'm currently trying to go back to stock in the hope that it'll fix my problems and I'm using Hyleton's guide, as I have no download mode I'm gonna use a .kdz file but in his guide there's lots of KDZ files and I don't know which one to use! Any idea on that? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 here's the thread and if you look at the stock firmware files you'll see there's tonnes of .kdz for the D802, could you help me find the correct one for my phone? My phone is simply D802, no other letters like the ones in that list have (which confuses me as to which file I have to use to flash stock) and I bought in the US, but I live in Argentina....
Ok guys, here's the deal. i bought a secondhand s4 which was advertised as a google edition. it has a couple of annoying issues, first i noticed it switching itself off and on. the worst problem with it is that when my battery goes reeeally dead it just bootloops when i have recharged. the only way i can get it back on is to start it in recovery mode (which is clockworkmod v6.0.4.4) then do a factory wipe. so yeah thats a major pain. the s4 itself is a red model and behind the battery it says its a gt-19505, however in the settings on the phone it says its a gt-19505g.
my goal is to install an official firmware if possible that i may be able to update easily, the worry that i have is that i dont know if it would then accept my network as although it appears to run google edition custom firmware it may not once i install something official on it. this may be a nooby statement i know but a noob i am lol.
if its at all possible could i keep the cwm recovery?
and if its any help when i load the other boot loader thingy (with the green android on it) in the top left it says gt-19505, im just sayin cus im sure its vital which ever this phone actually is.
here are as many details as i can give but please ask if im missing anything
ANDROID VERSION 4.4.2
KERNEL VERSION 3.4.0-faux123-KK44-GE-Custom
[email protected]omain #20
Sun Dec 1 02:30:28 CST 2013
BASEBAND VERSION 19505XXUFNA1
BUILD NUMBER KOT49H.S001.131204
also upon booting in the top left it says "kernel is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit:kernel"
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME And please tell me where to start as i tried updating it via kies to fix it but it just wont connect, i assume due to custom firmware.
The Google Play Edition S4 devices didn't come in any color but white. Therefore, this is an I9505 with a custom ROM on it. The download mode screen reading GT-I9505 confirmed it.
Since this is an I9505 and not an I9505G, the main question is whether this device will work with your SIM card. For that, simply insert your SIM card and boot the device. If you get signal, you're good. Otherwise you'll have to unlock the device, either by purchasing an unlock code from one of the sites that sells them, or by trying the unlock methods available on the forums.
This will also help answer the question of which stock ROM you can install on the device. If the S4 doesn't prompt you to unlock the device, then you can install one of the unbranded S4 ROMs available on sammobile.com. After that, you can put the recovery of your choice on the S4, though I recommend TWRP over the other options.
Thanks for your help. I'm a little confused though, at the moment with this custom google edition ROM it does take my sim, in fact I bet it takes any sim, I heard that was a feature of google play devices. What I meant was after I install the stock ROM will it then not take my sim. So if it has already been unlocked How would I know which ROM to install? As I now know its not a google edition, is it possible to install an official google edition ROM? Do i use this download mode, Odin, or cwm to install a firmware. I'm just not sure what my starting point is. I don't wanna follow someone's guide yet to installing something just in case I'm jumping the gun and need to uninstall this custom ROM somehow.
Sorry for asking questions that I'm sure seem dumb I'm really just trying to learn at the moment I'm green as they come with android. BTW thanks for your suggestions so far, you def seem like you know what you're talking about, cheers
Google Play devices are carrier unlocked, but this is not a Google Play Edition S4. Therefore the device was carrier unlocked at some point in its past. The unknown here is how the original owner unlocked the device. If he or she used the unlocking methods found on XDA there is a chance the lock will be lost when installing a stock ROM.
If the S4 is unlocked, you aren't restricted to a particular region and can install any I9505 ROM using Odin, though I recommend the carrier unbranded ROMs. You cannot install a stock Google Play Edition ROM on the device as the model number of a GPE device is not the same as the device you have. However, you're already rooted and have a custom recovery installed. In I9505 Development here on XDA there is a Google Play Edition ROM that can be installed on your device. Download it to your S4, wipe everything in recovery, then flash the ROM's flashable zip in recovery. I've used said ROM and it works quite well.
OK I have found the 5.0.1 ge ROM , but in there it says I must use latest recovery or whatever plus it recommended one different to mine, is it safe to install using my version of cwm or do I need to learn how to change it??
Deleted by user
TWRP is recommended as there are people who are still maintaining it, unlike Clockworkmod and Philz. While you probably can get the ROM installed using the version of Clockworkmod you have, learning how to change recoveries is useful.
OK thank you for all your help my friend, I will now find out how to do this, I'm sure there is a section on this somewhere, BTW I think you are right about my device being rooted, but I wanted to check and I followed a guide and used super su but apparently its not rooted so I guess something must've gone wrong. Bit scary if I try to change my recovery or my firmware and this causes a brick hmmmmm
It's virtually impossible to brick the S4, especially as the recovery is flashed through Odin.
Phew that's a relief. Thanks man.... Well I'm gonna just risk using cwm for now as I'm new to this........ Thanks a whole lot for your time I really mean that.

I want to, I really do but I'm struggling here. Before I wrote that last comment I tried to find a guide on this forum for swapping to twrp, but couldn't and didn't wanna bug this guy as he had helped enough. Anyway I went to the place he told me and have hit another wall anyway because I don't know how to use the firmware the relevant kernel or the git. My life is so busy and I'm getting about an hour on this subject a day and its gonna take forever lol
If you can help me on my way even a little its much appreciated, I would like to use twrp and the 5.0.1 ge plus the right kernel of course

Follow the Odin guide. It's excactly the same when you flashed CWM.
@Lennyz1988: The S4 was bought secondhand and already had CWM on it from the original owner.
@killfrenzy: Follow the guide Lenny mentioned, but don't worry about the second paragraph. Our device isn't one of those that restores the original recovery on boot.
ok will do, i just tried the app install method but as i suspected, it said root is required for this app and promptly exited so i shall do the odin method, i heard that some people remove root or it could be that it was done wrong. also after reading a few posts here and there i found out that someone had similar issues with their phone random re-booting and they had custom ge with the wrong kernel so it seems once im done my issues should be history if i learn how to install fw + kernel, after this twrp thing i will be one step closer for sure. i also know ppl slate lollipop but once im all done with this im sure i will have picked up enough terminology to install cfw's to my hearts content. hooray for forums and people like you, sounds like im kissin ass but its just gratitude
so using the twrp install guide i gotta install using the odin method i have now got 3.07 odin but this is the next step.........
Odin Install Method (No Root Required):
You will need to download and install Odin on your PC. Once you have Odin installed, download the proper .tar file for your device from the download link above. Power off your device. Turn on your device using the proper key combo to get into download mode and attach the device to your computer via a USB cable. Use the PDA tab or button to browse to and select the tar file that you downloaded and flash the device.
lololol nothins ever simple i see the list of tar files in the link above but no mention at all as to which is the proper .tar for my device, i guess they assume the guide is for people who have done it before. more research tomorrow maybe i gotta be up early ugh

Think you misunderstood, I have flashed nothing yet I got it like this. I'm completely green
Don't suppose anybody knows which is the tar file for my device?? S4gt-19505
OK now I get it, the list of tars in that section are all the same just newer builds of the same version. Seems obvious if you have done this before, but I wasn't to know that and cannot assume things. I'm also gonna guess and say Lenny thinks my s4 needs this particular version for an international, am I right?? Anyway it would've made a lot of sense but how does he know. I have no idea what this phone was I have never owned it new.
Different devices have different codes. For example, jfltexx is the I9505. A T-Mobile S4 would be jfltetmo, and so on.The link Lenny provided is for the I9505. Download the 2.8.6.0 version as its the latest.
As to how you were supposed to know, having never owned one, you weren't. There are tutorials in the General forum though that can help.
Looking around on the web for days and I'm finding absolutely nothing online for custom or official firmware downloads. I only bought this phone due to budget constraints and a week or so ago ZTE pushed out an update which errored during installation causing my phone to be stuck in a perpetual bootloop. Does anyone know of anything out there that can help me get it fixed so I don't have to waste more money on a very limited budget? Searched through and found a few various posts about rooting (which is easy, just use kingroot app and done) but I need to actually reinstall android fully and ZTE themselves just basically told me to go **** myself by sending me a link to buy another.

Hello to all forum members. :highfive:
Recently I got into my hands the Samsung S4 SGH-I337 version of AT&T, at least I think so. The current version of Android on it is 5.0.1.
When I set the phone to recovery mode, I think I see the modem version: I337UCSGOK3. Correct me if this is not the modem version, but I am sharing it because I guess this information will be helpful to make alternative software installation.
I've already spent 7 days trying to change the software, reading one by one what I will find about such an update. I tried tons of instructions and they all didn't let me do upload/change somehow software nor even install TWRP.
Tried to upload TWRP (I think I found 6 different files) using different applications from the original Android system - Failed. ie. I used TWRP straight from the system, I also used Flashify. When I use this Flashify app I installed TWRP, but it didn't let my phone go into recovery mode, it just went straight to the download. For me it looks like there is something to not let flash/change this to TWRP.
I tried to upload TWRP via ODIN, it doesn't work, it crashes during installation with error messages.
I also tried to upload lineageos version lineageos.17.1.recovery.img via the normal recovery mode, but every time I try I get an error about the signature not matching.
I tried to upload the software by ADB, I have had connection, I was able to see the phone, but I can only use adb sideload recover.img command and although I tried different images and .zip files, unfortunately nothing works. I think I also get an error that the signature does not match.
Can I ask you for some hints, maybe some instructions that will really work. Many instructions were based on specific versions of the bootloader, is what I called the modem above maybe I named this wrong and this is the bootloader version? If so, does anyone know about the instructions for this version of the bootloader? It seems to me after my problems that it is strangely blocked. Maybe someone knows how to make it work. I would like to change the software to change the system language to Polish. Unfortunately, the apps: MoreLocale2 and Language Enabler and probably about 4 others from the play store are not working.
Of course, the phone is rooted with Kingoroot, the applications detect that there is root, after all, after selecting the Polish language, it does not work in the system.
I would like to change Androind 5.x to LineageOS, because there you can do much more and it works better, more efficiently and saves battery. And I will be able to change language defenetly.
this is not the first time when I do that things. I have changed the regular S4 jfltexx many times, this is not the slightest problem for me.
Summarizing:
1. I would like to change the language to Polish, if it doesn't work or it won't be possible, it's a waste of time or something else
2. I would like to unlock the bootloader and upload TWRP, it can be CWM if anyone knows it will work and has an instruction that I can test
3. Then I would like to upload lineageos.
I'd appreciate any hints to test these things above.

I read that it will be possible to upload TWRP, but if it is a special version of TWRP prepared for this phone. Will someone be so nice and tell me if something like this exists and if so, where can I find such TWRP for uploading via ODIN.
Thank yo all for your time spending to read this.:good:
PS: Dear Moderators if this thread is not in proper place please correct this. Thank you.
Those instructions are for another bootloader. Your bootloader is locked, which is why TWRP won't install. There is no way to unlock it or downgrade. You also can't boot AOSP based ROM like Lineage OS. What you can do is root the phone and install touch wiz based ROM like Golden eye ROM by using the flash fire app if you're on lollipop or safe strap recovery if you're on kit kat.

Big Thank You for your suggestion and answer on my question.:good:
Right now I have Lolipop installed on the phone so related to this above I can only install something with touchwiz. Hope it will let me to change language to the Polish.
Would you be able to point me some links to instruction, please. I try to find this on forum but failed (getting ROM for nintendo). At least links to the software so I can try using flashfire app. The best it will be instruction, as I have situation in which when I use this app phone want boot after. Maybe it was related to the software, which I shouldn't use or maybe I do this in not proper way.
For everything what I get I'm saying thank you. :highfive:
No problem, I help when I can. The flash fire app you can get from the Google play store I believe, but your phone might need a specific version like the Verizon S4 does I don't know. The touch wiz ROMs are in this forum under Android development, go there and you should see ROMs like golden eye which is a touch wiz based ROM.
Here's a link that might help you, but the S4 is an old phone so it's hard to find links and guides that aren't buried deep in the forum posts.

Let me check this and back with the details what is working.
Alright man, good luck! I may not be able to help much further though, as I now have a Galaxy S10 and my S4 is just my storage phone, but I can try if it's something I know.
