Recommended Posts

This is not my method. This was done by Engine95 over at XDA. All props go to him.

Be sure to follow this guide to the TEE.

If you are on build zV9 you need to follow this guide instead.This is thanks to fiddy619!!

Now you have to unlock your bootloader in order to remove bloat and install CWM or TWRP. You need to follow THIS guide. This guide will only install CWM. You will have to download TWRP and install through CWM in order to have that recovery instead. Props for this guide go to Team Codefire and Thecubed.

Well would like to share a small bit from my side

I have rooted my own and a couple of other LG Og what I feel is unlocking the bootloader of this phone sets in a bug in it more often than not.

What happen is that the phone doesn't boot up properly and it keeps showing a black screen, you need to keep pressing the power button and volume down for like 2 or 3 times to get it to boot fully.

Other than the issue of incomplete booting, i have never seem anu issue.

Just my 2 cents, may it was just me and then phones that i rooted and unlocked.

But whatever this is a fantastic phone, really awesome in every way be it screen, processing power, signal strength or evdo speed, everything is top class.

That's a standard thing ankit, freegee is the best and you have to backup the efs no matter what

I said Coz I faced issue in reboot when I had Bl unlocked but did not unlock my sbl.

Even autoprime always suggests to unlock sbl if only unlocking the Bl gives boot issues

Hi everyone

I am having difficulty in using Evdo with this phone. Evdo is activated but I am on 1x only. Is it a radio issue? I am on ZVB.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
