Hey guys I cannot for the life of me get this rom to flash onto my rogers e971. I have read all the guides and followed every step yet I keep getting a status 7 error.

Here are the steps taken on my latest attempt (previous attempts were flashing on E97120d)

1) KDZ'd from E97120d to E97110d
2) Rooted with motochopper and unlocked bootloader with freegee
3) Loaded cm-10.1-20130709-UNOFFICIAL-geeb_ca.zip, JDQ39_bootloader.zip, and gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip onto internal memory of phone
4) Rebooted phone and entered recovery (cwm 6.0.15)
5) Installed JDQ39_bootloader.zip through the cwm recovery
6) Rebooted phone and entered recovery
7) install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from internal sdcard -> cm-10.1-20130709-UNOFFICIAL-geeb_ca.zip -> yes
8) This is where I keep getting this error message:

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Thx a ton for the tip chad! Using twrp i was able to install cm10.1. going to do some wipes and stuff to make sure I get a clean install now (device info strangely showed that it was a e973 (not e971). Is this normal?

Hey guys, so my gf just got this guy a few days ago and she was a ex iPhone user. Now she likes the look of the stock ROM, but misses emojis. Is there a apk or something I can flash or install that will bake it into the stock messaging app? I know I'll have to root it. But what do you guys recommend?

Alright so the point of this thread is to help people with their LG Optimus G for Rogers Wireless in Canada, also known simply as E971
Here are the official specs:

from LG:
http://www.lg.com/ca_en/cell-phones/lg-LGE971-optimus-g
from Rogers:
http://www.rogers.com/web/link/wire...normal&productId_Detailed=OPTIMUSGBLK&N=52+11

The main difference from this phone and the E973 version is the 700/2600mhz LTE frequency for Rogers as opposed to 700/1700 for Bell/Telus/Sasktel
The 2600MHz LTE spectrum (2x20MHz band) is the frequency used for LTE that has the most bandwidth available making it the fastest LTE band. Typical download speeds experienced will range from 12 Mbps up to 40Mbps. -from the Roger's site

This means that LTE will not work with other LTE such as BELL or TELUS unless they roll out a 700/2600mhz network, Fido piggy backs on Rogers and *should* work

Here are some of the more important threads to have your phone rooted and have a unlocked bootloader, up to know i do not know of any custom roms available for the E971
Give these guys your thanks and donate if you can
You'll have to root first then unlock the bootloader

Root:
Bin4ry's Root MANY ANDROID
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

unlocked bootloader:
Team Codefire's Project FreeGee
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2007961

If you want to keep your root and unlocked Bootloader do not update to the latest OTA (E97110E_00), you will lose root permanatly and Bin4ry's methode will not work anymore the previous version is linked at the 2nd post (E97110D_00)
more info here:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2053880

to disable the OTA app:
"Disable" via Settings > Apps > All > Software Update > Tap Disable.
or freeze with Titanium Backup "Software Update 3.1.0"

Removing carrierware (only do if you have v0.5+ of FreeGee and Root or else you'll get a the security error bootloop)
You'll also receive the Security error if you tinker with the Google Apps that come with this phone (ex, google movies, google books, etc)
remove or delete the .apk , freezing with Titanium works as well
