[L5] **** Guide for running CM10.1/CM10.2/CM11 on the Canadian E617G **** - Optimus L3, L5, L7 General

The LG L5 E617G variant can certainly be rooted, have an unlocked bootloader, as well as run CyanogenMod. The Bell variant can use a custom kernel.
Firstly:
- Root the device using the guide in this thread.
- Verify that you have a SuperUser app installed, and you're able to achieve root status. The best way to check is by downloading SuperSU, and updating the binaries.
Secondly:
- Unlock the bootloader by downloading emmc_appsboot_617_truncated.zip in this thread. (Thanks Skellums!)
- Turn on USB Debugging in Developer Options, (if you can't see Developer Options in the settings menu, continuously tap on Build Number in About in Settings).
- When you plug in your device, if you have an SDCard, you should see two storage spaces within the LG L5 MTP. Place the bootloader file in root of the phone storage (which the devices sees as the SDCard). The actual SDCard is the external SDCard which ADB has trouble seeing on occasion.
- Plug in your device to the PC, and make sure its loaded into Android.
- Download the fastboot/adb files here, and extract them to C:/fastboot/. Open the command prompt in windows, and type:
Code:
cd C:/fastboot
then...
Code:
adb devices
...and make sure you see your device, then...
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot-backup.bin
dd if=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot_617_truncated.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
reboot
- Now, you should have an unlocked bootloader. If you get any "file not found errors", you placed the emmc file in the wrong directory
Thirdly:
- You now need a recovery, so let your phone reboot, and when its back to the main screen, make sure the device is plugged in, open the command prompt, and follow the instructions here.
Fourthly:
- Any CyanogenMod works very nicely on the L5 E617G. You can get CM10.1 along with gapps here or CM10.2 here or the amazing CM11 here. Before heading back to recovery, you will need the CM10.1 ROM, GAPPS, v20 BaseBand, and WakeWithHomeAndPower_signed.zip (Optional) and v10 Baseband (For restore purposes if something goes wrong).
- Copy all those zips to the root of your external SD, and then run the command:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
- Before anything, create a NANDROID BACKUP! Make sure to backup to the external SD, as you probably would have more space to work with.
- Then, factory reset your device in recovery. You can now flash CM10.1, by choosing "install zip from external sd card". Flash the v20 baseband, then the ROM, then gapps, then the wake with home fix.
Done!
- Upon reboot, you should have CM working very well on your LG L5 E617G!
Note: You can also get to recovery with the L5 but holding down Vol Down and Home, while pressing the power button for 2 seconds.
Disclaimer: I wrote this article because I, myself, had quite the experience in getting CM10.1 running on this L5 variant, and I wanted to show that it's certainly possible, thanks to the hard work by all the devs here! Good luck!

Thank you, good sir! I have now installed CM10.1!
I ended up running the recovery twice - after the first time, during the reboot, it just hung at the LG logo so I turned it off and back on and then repeated the recovery install steps and it was fine after the second time (now that I think about it I should've just tried issuing the "adb reboot recovery" command again instead).
Phone definitely much snappier and I haven't had any problems so far! Thank you again!

It's been a couple of days now and all seems to be running smoothly!
The only issue I have with CM on my L5 is that the video seems to cause issues - it'll work the first time but then hangs afterwards and subsequent attempts just give an error. Rebooting is the only cure. Not a huge deal for me though.
The rest of the phone runs great, definitely smoother and snappier than stock.

Now my camera/video recording is working just fine today. Go figure.
Loving the speed vs the stock stuff!

I've noticed the same thing. Once and a while, the video camera will freeze, and then force close. Reopening it causes "Gallery has stopped.". It's really finicky, but a reboot usually does the trick. Not sure if it's a ROM issue or a E617G issue, but you're not alone!
Pictures seem fine, I would suggest staying away from the video recording for now.

I seem to recall having these issues a long time ago with the stock ROM too, now that I think about it. Not a big deal for me, easier to just avoid using the video camera.
I've even gone and flashed the latest (as of today) beta 5 of CM 10.1 as well - works just great as well!

Same here now! Whoohoo!!

Thank you, good sir! I have now installed CM10.1

I've installed beta 6 and now the video is working just fine (no hangs!).
I did find that I wasn't able to boot into recovery - I had to reflash recovery from ROM Manager.
I then tried to flash the custom OC kernel and that resulted in a blank screen, so back into recovery and reflash beta 6 again.
So I've lost the overclock but meh, I'm ok with waiting for an updated kernel.

New kernel was posted, I've flashed and it works - OC is back! :good:

fastboot adb files
Hey is it possible to re up the fastboot adb files i get a "file not found" ....or is it just the general adb install for android, if so i already have it from when i did my atrix. but if i need certain files then it would be great if someone could tell me, thx bunches

Thx , searched the forums to see if there were special files or if it was just adb.I found nothing concrete and I already had adb installed so I just ran it and it worked so I know now.
sorry about getting back late to edit the post.

Does this Unlock Network?
My phone is LG E617G It's Canadian phone which locked to Bell Mobility.
Does this ROM work on that model? and does it unlock the network(sim)?

It does not unlock the SIM, however, you can get your SIM unlocked by using a service such as this: http://dollarunlock.com/lg-e617g-optimus-l5-unlock-code.html

I've installed CM and it seem to be working well, but there's a problem with the gapps install.
com.google.process.location
recherche google
picasa uplauder
google play store
All keep crashing on launch and do not work at all. SO I can't do any search on the phone and google play store isn't working at all.
Is this a know problem or did I do something wrong with the install?
Is there a way to fix this? I've tried to redoanload de gapps and do a factory restor but for now no changes.

[recovery] cwm 5.0.2.7 + cwm touch **no vibration**

Hello!
After some time of searching in many forums all over the web, I FINALLY found a solution for all the users that experience vibration issues when going into recovery.
I must say this is not my work at all. Credits go to the developers at this forum, to trungkho for finding this forum and to Rusty!, for recompiling and changing the files to match our P990 O2x (this was originally made for the SU660).
It's been tested by me and some other members of XDA, and so far, so good.
Internal SD and external SD are recognized and mountable.
Needs testing for flashing various ROMS, so feedback is appreciated.
Enjoy!
CWM 5.0.2.7: http://www.mediafire.com/?8iqokc1xg73xe89
CWM Touch: http://www.mediafire.com/?y07ehwijm6kjg4h
Cool will download and test tomorrow...
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA
This is awesome! Finally i can flash a rom without annoying people around me and stop damaging my phone!
Hope you enjoy it and hope it works!
For anyone waiting for someone to post back about this, I would like to confirm I have installed this, and the vibration has indeed gone!
I'm going to do some flashing to make sure I don't get errors, but first impressions look good.
Thanks for solving this problem!

I have already made a backup and restored and installed a couple of roms. So for me it works.

Well, Rusty did it again, this time recompiling CWM Touch version from the SU660 to the P990. Here is the download link for testing.
Good . One problem though... I like the way the buzzy recovery scares the hell outta you

I've tried this. Vibration is gone ( finally ! ) and the recovery loads fine, but the touchscreen doesn't work at all... It's frozen. If I try the volume buttons they work, but as soon as I do that, recovery restarts. Grrr. So close.
Edit : Just tried 5.0.2.7 and that works perfectly ! Pity about the touch version, but the vibration on this phone was driving me crazy when flashing ! DONE WITH IT ! Thank you !

Touch recovery always worked well for me, never a problem. That said, many people have had problems with it, so it is recommended to play safe and stay with the previous, non-touch version.

I always prefered the "standard" version. The touch version's graphic interface is kind of lousy, and it's not as practical as the normal version. But every person is different, and might prefer other things...
Is this "better" compared to the past version 5.0.2.8 (which is i am currently using)? Its kinda annoying that your phone is vibrating when flashing something.
The past version was made for the 2X, but many people like myself had problems because when you entered recovery mode, the phone would turn into a dildo. The version posted in this thread was recompiled based on the SU660, which doesn't appear to have any issues among users. Even though it's 5.0.2.7, sometimes older is better...
So, to answer your question, if 5.0.2.8 makes your phone vibrate, but 5.0.2.7 doesn't, and they both do the same thing with no problems, then 5.0.2.7 is the way to go.
I don't know if Rusty is willing to make an updated version of this recovery. But, to me, and at this point, it doesn't really make a difference.
I'm still using 5.0.2.0, you shouldn't have a problem with 2.7

I had the same problem, permission denied. I don't use Windows. I put the recovery in the SD card and from a terminal in the device used dd to copy/install it.
Code:

As indicated by Paul from MoDaCo, Rusty! etc.
I've used 5.0.2.7 since release and can confirm it have worked on all my flashes...

[ROM][JB+, 4.2.2]OFFICIAL AOKP for Droid 4 [LATEST BUILD 5-23-13][NIGHTLIES]

****ALL CREDIT FOR THIS GOES TO HASHCODE AND DHACKER****
I saw this rom on hashcode's rom page, but didn't see a thread for it here. So I decided to create one.
Discuss bugs, experiences, questions on this thread I guess.
Installation procedure should be the same as CM10.1:
"Using this ROM requires Safestrap v2.11 OR SAFESTRAP 3.X currently. As things progress we may add support for Bootstrap or others in.
In all cases moving from ICS to JB, I recommend a full wipe and Titanium Backup restore of just apps+data.
If moving from KEXEC STOCK there might be some issues where you will need to wipe and restore. Be aware.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLASHING:
1. Download the ROM from the above link
2. Grab Jellybean GApps
3. Place both files on your SD card
4. Reboot into Safestrap by pressing [menu] at the splash screen
5. If necessary format /system when swapping from ICS to JB to make sure that GApps and other files are reset correctly
6. Also if necessary do a wipe of data/cache (when moving between ICS and JB)
7. Flash the .zip files as normal
8. Reboot and let the phone sit for about 1 minute while it re-indexes files, etc."

Able to be installed on ANY slot in safestrap 3.x.
Build 6 and on is kexec, needs to be installed on romslot-2, as pointed out by Kwyrt

jsnweitzel's AOKP builds, among other Droid 4 goodies: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mhmmrku5e4x8boj/hbd5BE-Nae
The rom runs same as CM10.1, but has some other awesome features added to it

I have been running Stock based AOKP for about a week now and it runs well. The only issue I have with it is no flash for the camera.
I also have been building my own from hashcode and dhacker29 source. I noticed that the stock-aokp build on rombot is a couple of days old. Here is one I did yesterday that is android 4.1.2 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31584441#post31584441
yeah, there are workarounds for most of the bugs in this rom

The ota updater is fixed now too. No more prompts to update to an older rom. But no flash for the camera still.

Just to be clear, you are actually bootlooping, not getting any error messages, yes?
Second, try wiping data in stock recovery.
Let us know if that works!

Not sure if I can help, but certainly interested in what happened to cause it. Did you boot back to stock and uninstall the older safestrap first? If you can still get to the recover there must be some way to get it working again.

I ended up doing this right after i made my post and it booted up.
I to boot looped my phone, so i wiped data and factory reset in stock recovery, which once it booted, i disabled super user than re enabled it, which then i was able to update it and get busy box installed than install SS3 and everything is back to normal
Glad to hear it all worked out for you
This latest build is awesome. I got a good battery life and smooth as butter. Love it so far and definitely my daily driver. I just found that checking global options makes gsm function. But,signal won't come out. Cdma ruim works fine.

I have stock camera working on 10-14 build! it has never worked on any previous build, I've done nothing different.
however, there is still no camera flash.
I've seen this problem on other AOKP ROMs... how do I disable the AOKP Statistics notification that keeps popping up? Already ticked and unticked the report checkbox. I just cleared Settings data/cache so maybe that will change it.
Also, how about we "kang" the lockscreen options from CM10. Miss those already.

Yup, last night when I was trying to use the Alarm Clock, and then again today with the Camera. This one has some neat features (Status/Notificaiton Bar customizations are outstanding) however its not quite un-alpha enough to use as a daily driver for myself. I will be keeping an eye on this one though, its looking very promising.

Loads of problems rooting and flashing Optimus 2X (P990)

Hi all
I'm having heaps of problems with my LG O2X. I'm not gonna write them all down now, but i wanted to get rid of them, so I figured I'd root and flash it again, and throw on a new 4.1.x rom. It was rooted earlier on, but I unrooted it 6 months ago, to try LG's official ICS rom for a while. As it turned out to be horrible, this is where I'm at now.
• It's currently running official LG O2X ICS rom
• I've rooted it (tried both Super one click and some other solution).
• When I go to Rom Manager (Premium v.5.0.2.7), grant superuser rights, and press "Flash Clockworkmod recovery", I select LG-P990 (only option). Then it says "LG-P990 does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet, Have you installed a ClockworkMod based recovery manually?"
- If I press "Yes" and select ClockworkMod 3.x+, it says "ROM Manager has been set up to use your existing recovery installation.", when I then reboot into recovery, it gives an error logo (android laying down with open stumach-hatch and a red error triangle). The only thing I can do to make it boot again, is reseating the battery.
- If I press "No", it says "Sorry! Until ClockworkMod recovery is available, ROM Manager will not work with LG-P990!"
What am I going to do now? I've tried two times now. I'll be needing this phone working tomorrow, so this is really not good.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Frederik

Thanks for replying.
I have already tried that tool, but I really did not understand anything. The guide seems half to me.
If you could answer these questions for me about the AIO tool, it'd be great.
What do I connect the phone with? (charge only, mass storage, media sync, USB tethering or LG software)
What do I press in the AIO tool to do the flash recovery which I'd otherwise do in ROM Manager?
How do I flash a rom? Do I use AIO tool or just boot to recovery on the phone as usual?
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards, Frederik.
fyi - i never used it so far (didn't need it yet), but people here talk only the best about it...
several people got problems with their LG p990 in the past few weeks and all of them managed to revive their phones with this tool... even the total android newbies...
i'm sure the app is as noob friendly as possible and the description and guidances from the app is all you must follow...
to use AIO tool, connect your phone with USB debugging on, I think with mass storage. If windows installs adb drivers automatically then you can step forward, if not then press "I" in AIO tool.
Then select change partition to new bootloader (ONLY if you are not on it already), but be aware as it deletes everything off your device.
Finally, go to change recovery image and select the one, it doesn't matter which one imo. there you go, you 'll have a working recovery. put a rom to external storage (as internal gets deleted) and flash it. I think this is how I did it. you can read more information in the first post of AIO tool. I hope I could help.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
The phone has to be connected to s/w-download mode when using the AIO tool.
This means: 1)Turn off your phone, 2) remove the battery, 3) hold the volume down button while you connect the phone to the USB cable of the PC
Done.
Then choose the options from the AIO menu.
Do I need to mention that you have to install the required drivers before you do that?
I think the explanations are quite clear in the description of the AIO-Tool.
If you dont like to read the explanation completely and/or dont want to make the effort to read realted threads, I recommend to not do it.
For me, the AIO is magic and worked fine. 5 stars.
Kind regards

[Q] Introductory help

Wanting to get rid of bloatware I didn't want in the first place and explore more on the Android mobile operating system I decided to make the jump towards a custom ROM and here I am. I have been impressed with my first flash of CyanogenMod 12 so far but unfortunately have run into a various amount of problem which I have tried to explore before coming here. The only problem I've sorted so far is the normal "install core Google apps without additiona bloatwarel"... But that was easy.
I have the following problems:
1. No LTE.
I'm on o2 PAYG and have entered what I think are the correct settings for use of the Internet, but unfortunately I still have no Internet capabilities beyond WiFi. When going on search for networks it will spend time before going "error while searching for networks".
2. Audio and video.
-Most noticeably on Snapchat, when I record a video the phone goes haywire and may spend 5 seconds vibrating before spending the remainder of its time being generally slow until I restart it.
-When I bring up the music playing app, I press to play a song and the audio doesn't work, nor is the song actually playing. The track bar may go to 0:01 with no sound before going back to 0:00. The device also lag once again, but not as bad as SnapChat instance. The system audio works fine as button response audio is fine and calling works fine with ringing and hearing the recipients voice.
I have gone through a couple of threads to try and find answers so far, but unsuccessful. Any help would be appreciated.
My current set-up is:
Phone: Sony Xperia SP
Android version: 5.0.2
ROM version:12-20150120-UNOFFICIAL-Ibhuashan (would be happy to change up ROM if advised so)
Kernal version: 3.4.0
I would be happy to supply additional information to help.
I'm hoping to get to know my phone and start contributing in some what possible way on the forum, but for now I just want to find my feet in this exciting new adventure
Many thanks for all help given.

The device also lag once again, but not as bad as SnapChat instance. The system audio works fine as button response audio is fine and calling works fine with ringing and hearing the recipients voice.
I have gone through a couple of threads to try and find answers so far, but unsuccessful. Any help would be appreciated.
My current set-up is:
Phone: Sony Xperia SP
Android version: 5.0.2
ROM version:12-20150120-UNOFFICIAL-Ibhuashan (would be happy to change up ROM if advised so)
Kernal version: 3.4.0
I would be happy to supply additional information to help.
I'm hoping to get to know my phone and start contributing in some what possible way on the forum, but for now I just want to find my feet in this exciting new adventure
Many thanks for all help given.

Hi, I had a check and retraced my steps of unlocking and rooting before I installed CM12. The device is unlocked but is not rooted any more. The rooting method via towelroot no longer works for me and ends in constant rebooting.
Hope this helps!

For root: goto settings, about phone, klick several times (8-10) on build number, goto settings, developer options, root acces, choose apps and adb. Done.

Sorry for the late reply, I had only found the time to start this today.
What benefit do I gain from changing up my kernel? Is the ROM previously mentioned alongside the kernel update only available for devices running a particular kernel?
Many thanks for all help so far!

the benefit is like faux sound ...you can control your cpu and gpu and a lot of things ....last update of the ROM that i gave you is only working with costume kernel (t-kernel) so yes you have yo flash ROM then t-kernel and then reboot ....if want there are like cm12.1 ...it doesn't need a costume kernel ...just flash cm12.1 and reboot......so you can choose .....happy flashing
good luck :good:
Soft-bricked the device after I wiped,attempted to install the 12.1 ROM but failed due to it saying its not the right device, and then accidentally restarted not paying too much attention to the yes and no's of CWM. Sony logo starts up but nothing else at present. Trying volume{up, down} + USB but nothing at the moment vibration or light wise. Hopefully this is fixable, not too worried at this point in time unless I should be?
Currently following this thread for instructions. Unless you can advise me on better or even if you have to tell me its straight up gone...

don't be afraid ...you tried to flash cm12.1 that mean you are UBL....flash t-kernel v2.2 twrp via fastboot mode and you will gain recovery to flash again the cm12.1
Fortunately kept calm and have gotten back to having an OS present. I've currently status quo'd back to CM12.
I have PhilZ, can I just use the PhilZ instructions for t-kernal?

yes of course ! .....if you want my opinion> wait until the AICP\ RR \ROMs to be up to date ...they will update it today or tmw(very soon)
Installed t-kernel and AICP. It boots and then gets to optimizing apps. Once it completes the 82 optimizations it goes "starting apps" it reboots... should I faactory reset & wipe the caches and reinstall? Almost there haha.

do as following
,,,,please do a full wipe and then flash AICP and flash t-kernel v3.0 and then reboot
Wiped data&caches, flashed AICP then flashed 3.0 t-kernel. It reaches starting apps and completely freezes instead of rebooting now. waited 15 mins hoping it was really slow but it's frozen. I then wiped and tried to reflash but that particular recovery setting doesn't like the checksum of the t-kernal so doesn't allow installing, so i flashed back to CM11 and reflashed AICP & t-kernel, completely following the steps given.. but once again freezes at starting apps.
Any more ideas? Thank you for all effort given so far!

Once again... wiped entire user + cache and first installed 12.1, then gapps core and finally t-kernel 3.0. It gets to starting apps and freezes. I'm able to flash CM11 or CM12, but that would mean the original problems encountered which makes my phone half -useless. I've tried to boot into safe mode, not knowing if you can do that with an un-optimized android.
It's all getting a little bit weird now. Something is going wrong somewhere, but I don't know.

wiped and attempted to reflash and the installation failed. Next I connected it to my pc and went into fastboot mode and wiped data/cache/system and flashed 12.1. It boots (sign of t-kernal is gone) but has so fa yet to do anything else, the current screen is blank b ut it is on.
I hope this information was useful to you. It seems to me to more up the current ROMs I go, the more they seem broken.

this is far from weird ....the last hope for problems like these ...to start from scratch ....to flash ftf ROM via flashtool and re install recovery then twrp then reflash the ROM (5.1) ..only few users had this problem and solved it with flashing ftf ....sorry man for that but i think you have to do it or stick with cm11 or something
good luck ...if you need any further help i'll help you :good:
---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------
you use twrp last version right ?....boot into any ROM you can go to ...install rashr app and flash via rashr this twrp recovery and from that recovery flash cm12,1
i'm sorry i have to go to sleep now ...but first try to flash twrp ....etc...if that didn't help flash ftf ....
good luck mate :good: ....i will see what happened with you tomorrow

No problem.
I added another disclaimer to the OP, basically saying that it's not quite daily-driver material yet, just in case anyone decided to skip over the issues list.
Gapps package

Appreciate your work man. you're a 16 yr. old badass in my book.
Prepare yourself though for lots of headaches from the many many users who just wont take the time to read your instructions. Never seen anything like it during my time here on XDA.
What you have done so far is remarkable (you too Mr. Mike) I can wait for stabilization if it comes, if not no biggie. You'll never hear a complaint from me bro.
You need anything, just ask. I'm available to those who are serious like yourself (you too Mr. Mike )
Anyways, thanks buddy. For everything.

Thanks! This is actually further than I initially envisioned myself making it. It's fun to do this type of stuff actually. I bought my 510 off-contract and never activated it, with the intent of just doing this stuff to it.

Love the progress. This rom is awesome. I have two HTC Desire 510's. After reading the "Not Working Section" I realized that data doesn't work on virgin mobile just yet. So, I will re-install this rom on my non activated one and follow your progress until calls, messaging and camera works. Then, I will install it on my activated one. But, thumbs up my friend. You beat MIUI to the punch in getting a modern rom started for this device. They still work on dinosaur HTC device roms. LOL!!
when will this be stable this rom looks awesome keep up the good work
Man r3pwn killin it!! Amazing work my dude mad props too! Goin test this out later on my vm desire, thanks r3pwn!

I must have done something wrong when installing. LOL!! I'm not an expert at flashing. So I don't doubt that I did something wrong. Ok, i'm gonna go back and retrace my steps on the flash and make sure I didn't miss any steps. Wait, I think I did. Is the boot image that needs to be extracted from the zip for those of us who are still s-on does that mean it needs to be completely out of the zip and then flashed in fastboot? If so, that is were I messed up at. And when whipping, do we factory whip or advance whip? Just wanna make sure. If I can at least get calls and text working, I'll be fine.

You can leave the zip as it is, you just have to make sure that you flash the boot image in fastboot. When I wipe, I usually pick "Advanced Wioe" and wipe system, data, cache, dalvik-cache and sometimes even internal storage.
will this work with boost mobile ?? i 1. Download the ROM zip to your computer.
2. Extract the "boot.img" from the zip file.
3. Put the zip file on your device and flash it in TWRP.
4. Reboot the device to fastboot mode and, on your computer, flash the boot image you extracted to your device by issuing the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
5. Reboot normally that all went great ! but cant - Call , Text ,

Hey, you are doing fine. No complaints here. I know from experience that it takes time to get these roms fully running. Plus, I'd rather you be in good spirit while working on this masterpiece. :fingers-crossed::victory:
