Alright ... after 2.x years I yet again pickup this beauty.
Unfortunately the one I got is nowhere near the one I had from my old employer, this one was and has seen much better days, but I figured I'd get back into looking what Android had to offer, for me.
So I take a look and I realize I HATE KitKat ... horrible standard OS and if LG keeps doing this to the Android OS it would suck!
Ok ... so I do the following:
Root using SuperSU ... sweet.
I download to the PC FreeGee - realizing no longer needed after 2hrs last night but I'm tired and I say screw it.
So I download FreeGee directly on the LG ... Bootloader unlocked. Sweet.
I copy the zip file for the CM 12.1 for Android 5.1, I think it's for 5.1 but the subsequent events may tell I'm wrong.
(File: cm-12.1-20150521-UNOFFICIAL-geeb)
Now, device installs the OS and reboots successfully. Sweet jesus this looks beautiful! I navigate around the menu and I think all is good and a few icons I have no clue what is going on with the one in the tray on the bottom right.
So I launch it and it goes through first page of info and I realize it's Google's Camera which saves everything in the cloud ... NOT a fan of that, and there is a check box to disable location information I disable it.
I exit the Google Camera app and then the screen goes blank. I see 3 Red LED blinks in the notification light and 6hrs later I STILL cannot power it on!!!
1. Can't power it on!
2. Can't get Bootloader to show up (the one with the Android heart exposed)!!
EEEK.
3. Just the damn LED blinking, consistent blink!!
4. I try Volume UP/DOWN buttons, connect USB to the G, then to Win7 and nothing!
I suspect Google Camera trying to connect to Google's services which may NOT be in CM12.1 for this device. I also suspect since I installed the CM12.1 with the USB connected it tried to connect using ADP, which I feel it KEEPS doing in Win7. I have the factory drivers and the updated drivers NOTHING fully works; just the connect then immediate disconnect chime in Win7.
Files I have: (I'm using Win7 64bit)
These files I've all acquired through various threads there.
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S52MAN314AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.1 4.1.exe
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip (SuperSU to root)
cm-12.1-20150521-UNOFFICIAL-geeb.zip (This was installed before going dead with LED blinking Red.
LGMobileSupportTool.exe (because I do NOT have the S/N, it's in the OS which will NOT boot I cannot download the original OS from LG's servers, arrrgh!)
LG-KK-4.4.2-Intl-Cdn.zip (supposedly the original OS yet HOW the FUNK can I load this onto the LG if I cannot see anything on the screen? Hmmmkay ...
so does this mean I've got a permabrick and i'm fubar'd? IF not would anyone please led an assist, please would you?
Thank you kindly, in advance.:confused:
