Select Port Settings as show below Select Advanced as show below Select COM Port Number marked in red and choose COM41 marked in yellow as shown below. It should look like as shown below in red Unplug your phone from Pc/Laptop, switch it of. Put the phone in DOWNLOAD mode by pressing and holding VOL UP key and plug in the USB cable, If you see download mode on phone, give it 5 secs and unplug the USB cable from the phone. Phone has to be in DOWNLOAD mode even after unplugging the USB cable. Run LG Flash Tool & select manual mode marked in red as shown below in pic Once you have selected Manual mode, we have to choose the dll related to LS980, select browse as shown in pic below. Choose the dll file as shown in pic below, This dll file should be found in the main unzipped folder. After choosing the dll file now we have to add the firmware which needs to be flashed. so select "add" shown in red in pic below.

Simple connect your phone and wait for the tool to get connected and the flash process to start. Roughly it should take 2 to 3 minutes to flash. The phone will reboot when its still in flash process at around 85% or more. Thats it your phone is fully flashed to complete stock, since its a full flash wait for the phone to boot as if its booting first time. WAIT FOR IT. UNPLUG and enjoy your phone. Feel free to ask questions before proceeding.

    PERMANENT UNLOCK ACHIEVED OP UPDATED.
  4. 2 points
    There is not a single thread which gives all the information regarding the LS980. also i was getting lot of pm's regarding the GSM unlock. so basically this thread will have all the information, if anything is left out please feel free so message me or in thread. Phone Config LG-G2-LS980 Phone Drivers LS980 Drivers My Experience Personally i was a Samsung fan until they came out with the Kn0x security. i had 2 choice the Note 3 and the LG G2, since the Note 3 had issues with data not working on CDMA mode and the G2 was and still is wallet friendly, so i decided to go with the G2 and till date i DO NOT regret it. LAG is something that is simply not in its dictionary, super smooth. Like the HTC One this phone is also sealed and comes in 2 variants 16 and 32 Gigs. Initially only 2 colors Black and White, now the actual(international) site has many different ones. This one is a LCD compared to the S4 with AMOLED, To be frank only if you have the two phones together you might see the difference. I found the G2 to be more vibrant and a lil brighter side compared to the S4. 1000 times more accurate smartstay display than the S4, Same with auto brightness. Feels much lighter than the S4 and the build quality is anyday better than S4, feels solid in hand. Many have debated about the volume and power keys being at the back, actually its something you have to try and then understand, now if i handle any other phone than my G2 i tend to Tap the display 2 times softly to get the screen going, like the home or power button, im so used to it now. Tap 2 times on display to lock the screen & same to to light the display back again. Initially when i first got the phone i used to tap hard thinking that was the right way and 7/10 times it used to work, did not know that one has to tap very lightly as possible. Soft tap 2 times gets it locked and vice-versa 10/10 times. Its actually easier to use volume rockers in the center position then one side like anyother phone. Theres more to this phone and i dont have the patience nor time to explain everything. Phone definitely requires a case to protect it from fall, i have the Spigen Slim Armour. Runs on 4.2.2JB and 2 updates have been released till date. LS980ZV7 (Initial Release) LS980ZV8 (Security Update) LS980ZVA (Sprint Spark and loki-killer) Not used in India so i have not taken it. LS980ZVC (KitKat 4.4.2 OS Update) Also if you are a custom ROM freak DO NOT INSTALL the ZVA update as it removes the ability to do that. People who have taken it do not worry as there is a work around. Custom ROM installation for people who have taken ZVA update. Only if you understand everything mentioned in the above link proceed else you just might end up with a hard brick.

Or after root use FreeGee from Google Play (Requires root access) Install and backup EFS. How to get you MSL/SPC Easiest method to get SPC: Dial ##443336772# and your SPC/MSL will be displayed on the screen! Probably this will work for other LG phones also. [Credit goes to phonegeek] How to Gain Root Access Root FIle Works with All Baseband Updated ioroot.zip where did i get this ? SOURCE 1 After you have downloaded the file required for root, Put the phone in Debug mode, for this under settings go to Developer Options. If you do not have Developer Options under settings simple go to Settings/About Phone/Software Information under this tab on Build Number 10 times continuously and it will enable the Developer Options in your phone. 2 Under display settings set the screen timeout to 5 minutes(you can set it back to your liking later when you are done with root) 3 Connect your phone to PC/Laptop 4 Under pull down notification change the USB settings from MTP to Charge Only 5 Unzip the ioroot file and from the folder execute the run.bat file 6 The command prompt will ask you to press any key as show in pic below 7 You will be prompted to toggle USB connection shown marked in red, three ways you can toggle that, show in marked yellow, select the first one, remove usb connection from the phone and re-plug it back. the PRESS ENTER. 8 Your phone will show toggled notification and also it will ask you to allow USB Debugging with the computer showing the computers RSA key, Mark "Always allow from this computer" & select ok. The command prompt it will warn you again about loosing warranty and more warnings, this is the last point to decide to continue or press CTRL+C to cancel. PRESS ENTER. Your phone EFS will be backed up like shown in pic below and again it will ask you to press enter, PRESS ENTER. 9 Phone is rooted and phone will reboot. check if you have SuperSu or SU in your phone. How to Unroot Access Superuser app, go to settings of the app & look for Full unroot. Select it and wait for the phone to reboot. Recovery for KitKat 4.4.2 LS980ZVC SOURCE GSM Unlock For G2 LS980 This is a temporary GSM unlock & not a permanent or a solid one. Two known issues, you cant access Wi-Fi settings, as it crashes if you try to access, and you cant dial any number without adding 0 before it. Example: Sunny Leons phone number is 6969696969, to call her you gotta dial 06969696969. If you dial direct 6969696969 the phone app crashes and your phone switches to GSM mode if you are in CDMA mode. As far as i know these are only 2 known bugs this unlock has. hope we get a more stable unlock. Install ROM Toolbox Lite 1 Run Rom Toolbox Lite and select performance marked in red 2 Select build.prop editor marked in red 3 Select search using the magnifying glass icon below marked in red 4 In search field type "build.target" as shown in pic below 5 Select "ro.build,target_operator" as show in pic below 6 Change value from "SPR" to "spr" as show in pic below and press ok marked in yellow. 7 Reboot popup will come, select ok and reboot the phone. Your phone should be GSM unlocked now. Install HIAPN or Tweakker for APN settings of your service provider. Install Telinfo to switch between CDMA(CDMA Auto PRL) & GSM(GSM Auto PRL) Permanent Unlock for the LG-G2-LS980

    This looks cool! New Firewater S-OFF Tool Will Unlock Any HTC Device In Moments! Including (but not limited to) newer HTC phones like HTC one, Droid DNA, One s, One Max and many others! Source Official Firewater Website For Download & Instruction >> http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/ Like most OEMs, HTC likes to lock down the devices it sells to the general public, but maybe you like a little more freedom. That means an exploit is required to get S-OFF status. The new Firewater S-Off tool can manage that for any (or at least very nearly any) HTC device, even newer HTC One phones. The tool comes courtesy of developers beaups and fuses, and it's completely free for personal use. Just download the files and get to work. The website has a full walkthrough of the process. There are some prerequisites that need to be taken care of first, though. Here is what that entails... Prerequisites Working adb on your PC. Yes, that means OS X, linux, Windows, etc. are all supported. HTC drivers installed and working HTC sync removed (not closed – REMOVED) All other phone software removed or disabled (Samsung Kies, PDANet, etc.) A working internet connection ON YOUR DEVICE - wifi, 3g, 4g, etc. are all supported. There is no way around this requirement, don’t ask. USB debugging enabled on your device Your device must be HTCDEV unlocked/rooted or have a working temproot. A temproot that works with many modern (not all) HTC devices is provided on the website. Do not attempt to run firewater from a terminal emulator on your device. You MUST use adb along with a PC. A supported device. firewater *should* work with most modern QUALCOMM BASED HTC devices, including (but not limited to) the htc one, droid dna, one s, one max, and many others.

    ^ ^ ^ Fujitsu has 2nd gen core i3 whereas Toshiba has 3rd gen PDC. Not much difference in real life performance between the two. >> http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Pentium-2020M-vs-Intel-Core-i3-2328M For other things like expansion ports, both has almost everything covered. Toshiba gets free 2 year extended warranty. PS: Toshiba Satellite C50-A P0012 seems to have a better final price of Rs 20,441 on Flipkart (Min. Rs.1000 off on Select Laptops. See final price in cart) then Rs 21,233 of infibeam after coupon. >> http://www.flipkart.com/toshiba-satellite-c50-a-p0012-laptop-3rd-gen-pdc-2gb-500gb-no-os/p/itmdreythxnw4dhk?pid=COMDREYQBEB5RZAJ&otracker=from-search&srno=t_1&query=Toshiba+Satellite+C50-A+P0012&ref=e73266e6-79ad-42d6-9329-5da6d92a20d8

    yeah, its a hardware issue. the service guys will replace the camera module. It took HTC a lot of time and a 5000 post thread in xda to admit it as an issue. But now they proactively replace the module. lol. the only easy way to sort this issue is to keep the phone in the freezer for some time but it will return when the handset becomes hot with usage or replace the camera module :

    I always feared about it.. Kejriwal is too adamant, you cannot change the system like this. This will have long lasting effects on other clean people who really wanted to join politics.

    +1 for the post Vinod. Anyways my 2 paise for the phone: -You can use the TMobile rom on it [hunt XDA] and everything works [GSM and RUIM] except NFC. No wifi setting crash or need to put 0 before dialing numbers [Atleast this is what I have been told, havnt tried personally]. - Install TB and Block the UpdateDevice service and it will stop bugging you about OTA. You can also uncheck the Notification for GoogleServicesFramework. - When I did SPR to spr and other changes in build.prop, it was giving me error for "SprintExtensionProvider has stopped" working when phone was restarted. So blocked everything sprint related and now no error popups -Data does not work during calls . Very disappointing. EVDO speeds are good but not a good as EVO LTE, which has given me the highest EVDO speeds till date (All test parameters constant) -LG`s skin on this phone is quite a show off, with loads of bloat and animations. I reckon if you put some stable AOSP rom on this ... it will give 2 days+ of battery life with moderate use. Still with LG`s skin the battery life is awesome.

    Newly launched XOLO Q1100 has Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 clocked at higher 1.4 Ghz compared to 1.2Ghz in Moto G (MSM8228, unlike Moto G’s MSM8226). Has the same GPU, 5" display, Micro SD Card support. Meanwhile in addition to things already highlighted, everyone seems to have overlooked 2 other positives for Moto G... Gorilla Glass 3 Splash Resistant Coating I haven't seen above 2 in official warranty handsets of various local/ brands selling around 14-15K. Motorola does not advertise it as waterproof but this splash resistant internal nano coating seems to be quite effective as can be seen from few VIDEOS floating around.

    I second dipan Bhai. Moto Google or G has been breather for those who understand it, spec to spec there might be many fishes in to the pool. But right from build quality, product design, Android flavor, Motorola is at par with top league. In that league this phone has posed threat and challenge surely. Some people do criticise fixed battery and memory though but I don't understand why as the same has worked well and been accepted for one of the largest selling smartphone called iPhone. Now that Moto has been acquired by Lenovo. For me the charm is lost. As Lenovo has been providing lovely handsets and within this bracket almost. Like yesterday I ordered their premium K series phone K860 for 14,500/- It's five inch hd screen, 8mp, 1.4ghz quad core, steel and polycarbonate unibody. 1gb ram etc. Sounds competitive. Lenovo is the next big wave. Just wait till they come out in USA markets Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2

    What do you mean by rave exactly? Am I going to sell my house and buy it? No Am I going to appreciate that Motorola is giving probably the best specs at that price point, with good build quality, from a reputed brand, with optimized near vanilla Android, guaranteed OS updates, at the best possible price? Yes You seem to harp on about why we are excited about the Moto G? I will flip the question and ask you - why not? Give me another official Indian 14K phone with all that the G gives, with a brand on par with Motorola and I will praise that too I really do not get this irrational slagging as do others who have replied to you, so if you do not have something concrete to debate on - let us stop here instead of taking up bandwidth Also, it is much easier to stay out of the thread if all you are going to say is that the G is mediocre - because you know, I know and all of us know that it does not - it is built to a cost, and delivers the best bang for the buck. It is not a Maruti sold at the price of a Toyota. It's sole purpose is to aim at the cost sensitive markets and it is proving through it's sales numbers - even in developed markets - that it is doing a good job at it I am sure I will recommend a casual Android user to buy a G than an overpriced Galaxy Grand or something like that
