I have tried a million ways but none were successful. I have an LG Optimus L7 that is super slow and I want to make it faster by rooting it. I am running Android 4.1.2, my Kernel-version is 3.4.0, my Build-number is JZO54K and my Softwareversion is P70020d-EUR-XX.
Thanks in advance.
Try Framaroot app - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
After installing it, just choose Gandalf and it will inform you of the results. I rooted this way my v20c 4.1.2 JB.
Thanks, do you also know how I can overclock my phone so it will run much faster?

if you are on a custom rom, i think it has a OC kernel
Sorry for sounding possibly retarded, but I really have no clue what a custom ROM is and what an OC Kernel is, can you maybe explain me how I install all of this stuff?
i can better give you an example of custom rom, CM - cyanogenmod
you know we don`t have android 4.2.2 or 4.3 but we have roms, made by developers , as CM, which is based on Android version 4.2.2 or 4.3
Is like you are using JB 4.2.2, but a better one, with no useless apps on it
OC - overclock , you know, you have , on l7, a kernel with 1000 MHz, you can overclock it to 1300, if i am not wrong, but, this can in time to make demage to your cpu if you are using it very much
First of all, thanks for the clear explanation. Secondly, if I install a custom ROM, will I still be able to download stuff using the Play Store? Like WhatsApp and Snapchat? And how do I install a custom ROM?

use HD when you are on CWM
In the video you said I need to have two things, one of them is a rooted phone and the other one was something about a recovery. Can you explain what I need to do with the recovery?

i said about CWM
install ROM Manager apk
and from there, install CWM, you can after reboot in CWM too
I think I did something wrong. I installed the ROM Manager and also installed Clockwork Recovery Mod, and when I rebooted my phone into recovery so I could install CM10 using my external SD Card I only got white lines. I removed my battery and restarted my phone and I had to configure every thing again as if it was going through a factory reset.
http://theunlockr.com/2013/06/07/how-to-flash-a-custom-recovery-on-the-lg-optimus-l7/
try this
maybe you need to unlock the bootlaoder too
This time I think it worked but when it went into that mode it said "Secure Boot Error" "Cause Verification Why".
Any idea how to fix this?

yes, look on that i gave to you, you have there how to unlock the bootloader
this is the problem, the bootlaoder needs to unlocked
The link to the CWM package is a 404 page, where can I find a different download link?
you said you installed cwm, just unlock the bootloader now
Right now it's installing the cm10 package with ROM Manager, but what do I have to do with that 'gapps' file? How do I install it and what is it?
Hi all,
I am interested in the CM11 ROM. Last night I spent 6hrs trying and failed, epically.
Here is what I did already:
1. Downgraded from 4.4.2 back to factory
2. Successfully rooted
3. Installed ROM Manager
4. Successfully downloaded CM11 and latest GApps
Then when I tried to boot into recovery it kept going to a screen with a little android guy lying on his back with a red triangle!!! I tried six times.
I got frustrated and just updated back to 4.4.2 and have been dealing with it. I am still rooted and have been able to remove my bloatware and other things you need root access for.
Any thoughts or help as to how I can install the CM11 rom?? I am happy running NovaLauncher and using DynamicNotifications to approximate it but really want to try out CM11.
Cheers and thanks!
Lucky there is no way to root on 4.4.2 yet or atleast no Recovery's yet it could be worse you're atleast rooted and it didn't brick your phone

Did you actually try flashing a recovery first? Just installing ROM manager won't install the custom recovery needed to flash ROMs. You have to do that step as well.

No, I didn't. I am super new with android. Had an iphone for a long time. How do I flash a recover? Can I still do it now on 4.4.2 b/c its rooted?
Sorry about the noob questions, everyone is being very helpful!

LG blocked the Loki exploit with 4.4.2 so you can't flash recoveries currently. You'd have to flash back to 4.2.2 to do that. Which if you want custom ROMs now its going to have to be done sooner or later. Which carrier and model number do you have? If you have an international D802 the above post by @zekurosu will work for you, otherwise don't use that one. You're gonna have to find the method for your model number.
My first guess was that you missed the flashing the custom recovery step, which people above me have already helped ya out on. For being new to Android you did fairly well, you just missed that one step.
Good luck!

I have an ATT D800 running 4.4.2. I can't decide whether its worth it to flash back to 4.2.2 to try again. Pretty happy with NovaLauncher + widgetlocke and fairly closely approximates what I am looking for.
For what its worth, I was in 4.2.2 when I tried the first time and failed. I think mackster is right, I didn't flash the custom recovery. I basically flashed back to 4.2.2->rooted->tried to boot into recovery (OVER and OVER) then gave up and upgraded back to 4.4.2.
Thanks for all the help. At least I now have a rooted phone and have been able to do some cool stuff with that. My goal is to get nexus 5 software in an LG G2 body (battery, camera, etc)
@android_nashville There's a way to have the best of both worlds. You can flash back to 4.2.2 (10d preferably) root, flash a custom recovery with Flashify or FreeGee. Both available on the play store. Then actually update to 4.4.2 following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483043. Eventually, if you want to flash custom ROMs you're going to have flash back to 4.2.2 and do this process regardless. The 4.4 aboot image (bootloader) can't be bypassed with Loki. Its been blocked. But some brilliant devs basically found out they can make a hybrid setup, with the 4.2.2 aboot, and everything else 4.4.2. This way you can have the ability to flash custom recovery, kernels and ROMs.
I just received LG G2 802, came with 4.4.2 installed. Now I would like to install a custom rom. What are the procedures should I follow? I know there are many threads around but I am getting confused which come first sequentially, i.e. boot loader unlocking, root, custom rom. Can anyone clarify a bit please?

Its pretty easy now.
First root with towel root
Then use autorec to flash recovery
Then you can your ROM
Many thanks
Thats easy steps.
will this work on the verizon vs980? I'm updating to 24a since i bricked it last night. I forgot what root tool I used but I know I used autorec and it messed up my phone.

I know towel root is universal and autorec has a Verizon version. If it messed up your phone, I wouldn't repeat the same thing though, that would be insanity :silly:

I am not a smart man... :silly:
I thought I downloaded the wrong autorec since it didnt have vs980 in it but same thing happened. it installed twrp but destroyed my system partition. LUCKLY I did the smarter thing and made a back up. after some fussing with twrp (making a back up and moving my old back up to the right location) I am back up and running!
:victory:
quick edit: ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO BACK UP AND STORE IT ON YOUR PHONE!
how?
towelroot then autorec. then flash rom zip.
So I'm on 4.2.2, rooted.
I just flashed CM11 (first with, then without gapps) and got an annoying bootloop; just the LG Logo.
Luckily I had a backup of stock, so it's all good.
The thing is, I really want CM11.
So what are my prerequisites? Do I have to flash a certain radio or something? I did everything right in every one of my attempts (Flash system, data, cache, etc)
Any advice?
Thanks!

Just flashed TWRP that apparently has the Loki hack (.zip file via Flashify) and same result.

Glad I'm not the only one with this issue, I gave up on trying to install cyanogenmod after numerous failures, I believe it has something to do with having the ZV8 version of The Sprint G2, luckily there's a ROM out there based on cyanogenmod that will work with all Variants of the LG G2, I think your will enjoy this ROM.

If I had to guess I'd say you're on ZVA. Try flashing the ZV8 modem, then CM and see if that works. Get the most updated twrp and CM11 also. CM just released the M8 version yesterday which is a snapshot or stable build.
I had CM up and running a couple weekends ago. Started from ZVC so I had to flash the ZV8 modem for it to boot. Smooth running after that.

Never had to flash a modem before. Think you can point me in the right direction?
And I actually am trying to use the latest snapshot. Haha.
Thank you!

Found ZV8 and flashed and it booted up on the first try. Thanks!

Well it took me forever on my friend's wifi to download CM and Gapps, so I think I'm just gonna flash the modem like the other person said and get CM11 working. I'll try your method when I get home and have faster download speed. Lol.
Thanks though!

:good:Excellent, glad to hear that worked for you. LG is definitely more difficult to work with than some other brands. My last device was an HTC and it was so easy to flash roms back and forth. \
Go ahead and grab the modem zip for ZVA (if that's what you were on) to have in case you want to restore your backup. Flash that, then restore. Otherwise it will bootloop also.

Coming from an S3, I got this G2 yesterday and its amazing, so no complaints here. Haha.
And I'll be sure to download the ZVA zip. Thanks!

Welcome to the G2! Take a look at the stock camera mod by xdabebb in the G2 development section. Well worth the time. G2 Tweaksbox is another favorite. It (along with the xposed framework) allows you to customize tons of areas if the LG skin.

Yes there is a way, theres an app you can install called Autorec, this application will automatically set up a Custom Recovery for you to backup your files, here's a Link to get started.

Thanks for the fast reply, well i read this comment on the link you game me, im just curious and also worried that i might brick my phone, cause im a total noob when it comes to these things,
Here's some of the comments i read about D802T
"Please note you cannot install custom recovery in stock KK via any method for the D802T Australian variant and get it to boot. LG has not released kernel source code for Aussie variant, for KK, so Loki exploit does not work. If you want a custom recovery under KK you will have to install a custom ROM with already patched kernel. If you plan to stay on JB 4.2.2, however, you can indeed root and/or install TWRP without hassle on stock."
"u cant use this on the Australian version D802T.
It will soft brick your phone."
Now what should i do? im just very confused.

there is a way to do it. Follow the guide and root kk but before you install autorec, make sure you have a custom rom zip ready to go on your phone sdcard and whilst still in TWRP (dont try to boot into kk yet), simply flash your custom rom, and then the phone will boot normally.
