How do I get started with flashing custom ROMs? - LG Optimus L90

I have some previous experience with flashing ROMs, but from other devices, such as HTC Desire, Nexus 7 (2012 WiFi) etc. Unlocking the bootloader of Nexus 7 was pretty easy and I was able to flash ROMs afterwards. But what is the procedure for LG L90? I've seen some bootstacks which I don't know what they exactly are. I bought the phone with V10d-EUR-XX firmware and it was fully stock. Then I got an OTA update to V20a-EUR-XX (LP 5.0.2). I'm still fully stock. What should I do to unlock the bootloader in this situation to be able to flash a recovery and ROMs? I have the D405 (without NFC) variant of the phone.
Thanks in advance.

Follow this link but dont use its files.. They maybe outdated and not for your bootstack (v20a)..

If you already have unlocked bootloader and custom recovery installed make a backup of your ROM and try flashing other ROMs here at xda.. Its your best bet to see if works on your phone

Ok thanks I am now rooted
Can I not Unlock bootloader/install custom recovery etc?
Or change to EUR rom and do it??
Thanks again!!!!
now is unlocking useless for normal users ...because no custom roms / custom kernels .
LG released the soucecode this morning. So now its only a bit of waiting before the first custom roms will be released.

So I can unlock using LG official and put CWM on now or not?
Sorry about all the Q's , EVERYother phone I have bought has had a great modding community with guides everywhere so this is a bit unusual to me

Not until you unlock your bootloader which, until they find a way to do it, can't be done in the 234-000 version.
Also, there are guides in this community, you just have to look for them (e.g. in the General Forum or the Development one). There you could have found answers for your doubts, as well as other people trying to get around the bootloader issue (there's even a thread dedicated to 234-000 users, and another for 262-000 owners).
Now we just wait my friend!

Well going by the fact that you have 234-000 You might not be able to unlock your boot loader as of yet.
There are 2 users that i know of from the UK that have unlocked their boot loader. I have tried and and tried again.
LG's Open source team have told me and a few other forum members that 234-000 and 262-000 are both unlockable.
The best bet is to wait for AGBRBK V20A... Which is the UK build of 20A.
Its just a waiting game. :good:

Go to the Sprint HTC One Development Forum and find a ROM you want to flash. Each ROM's developer should provide instructions on how to flash their ROM. Also, only flash ROM's that are made for your Sprint phone or you are asking for trouble.
I tried flashing revolution on my sprint m7. And it softbricked now its running good. My question is, can i fkash a european rom or should i stick with the sprint roms

[Q] root and recovery for D400h

Hello everybody,
i have the lg l90 d400h model, but i dont find any tutorial to do root or instal cwm and a rom cyanogenmod like example for this variant, i dont like the stock rom but the phone is incredible!
Please help me adding any link safe to do this things
I will be thank for ever
As far as I know these tutorials are universal (for every L90 model), at least I have not noticed any restrictions regarding different models. I can be wrong of course, but I doubt in this case. What's your software version?

#1 This is the wrong forum to post in, this forum is for development projects. This belongs in the q and a forum. #2 26a IS the newest kdz. Flashable ROMs don't come in kdz form... The post conveys some sense of urgency, though I have no idea what over. You didn't mention any problems. If you want to flash custom ROMs, root, get a custom recovery and make sure you have the right bootloader/baseband/recovery combinations before continuing. Otherwise... You're good.
the problem there are no custom room working in my mobile i try many room but there is nothing always coming stuck and i back to old one give me one of the room are testing and working for vs980 lg g2

You need to make sure your running b the right baseband and boot loader. If you flash a lollipop ROM you need to be on 12b bootloader and modem. If your trying b to flash a stock KitKat ROM then you need the 26a bootstack. Whatever Rom your trying to flash just make sure it's in verizon lg g2 android development section and read full op and how to install listed in op and you should be fine. Considering you posted your question in the development section I'm gonna assume you haven't read anything. So do that first

[Q] Something interesting happened to my l90. NEED SOME HELP

so I sent my phone to LG because I hard bricked it. they sent it back to me and now my phone is a D405 model when it was originaly a T-Mobile D415 model version. Now. My question is when using a rom which boot stack to I use? D405s bootstack or D415? i dont want to brick this thing again by flashing the wrong bootstack.
