I bought a new LG G Pro F240L and it had so many Korean bloatware and restrictions. So i wanted root it install cwm recovery and flash a nice clean ROM. There were so many ways to root and flash cwm on kitkat 4.4.2 but most didn't work. But I found this thread at Lgviet where they have described the procedure step by step and it is pretty straight forward.

All Credits to LGVIET:
Thread link - lgviet.com/forum/threads/root-recovery-stock-4-4-2-kitkat-g-pro-f240l-s-k.15539/

the thread is in Vietnamese so here is the google translated link :laugh:

and below is the link for sphinx GPro V1.5 ROM, This is based on a stock ROM (F240K KitKat 4.4.2 V20E ROM) therefor all the cool stock features are still intact. Follow the guide exactly as it is to avoid soft bricks. :fingers-crossed:

01) you need to be on the background of F240L V20D, and V20E of F240K F240S
(LG Software Version) ( Settings->general->about phone->software information->Software version)

02) DO NOT do a factory reset , nor in CWM recovery (no need to wipe anything).

03) Flash the Sphinx G Pro ROM then Flash the Patch IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT REBOOTING.

04) Wipe data/factory reset ->wipe cache partition ->wipe dalvik cache.

05) reboot system.

I haven't tried flashing it on v20f , therefor I'm not sure about that. But just to be on the safe side you can downgrade your software by flashing v20d kdz file using LG Flash tool. Then flash Sphinx G Pro V1.5.
You can find V20d file here;

Thank you lots for the link on the Root, Rom for KitKat. I own the F240K Optimus G Pro and came from F240K20h stock rom.
Rest assured you don't need a V20E to update the Sphinx Gpro 1.5. Just follow the instruction on the 1st post it's good to go. :good:
