Looks so nice ..it says 240 only. My lack of knowledge in the phone and everyday report of softbrick really scared me into waiting for a rom done specifically for e980.. :(

Is it really that easy to soft brick this phone? I'm planning on getting mine next week(maybe 2 weeks, depends on wether i can find it cheap here or if i would have to order it from the states). What rom are you using? have you tried the official kitkat rom from korea? I've read the thread about it and things seem to be working. Another question, with that rom does internal storage is reduced to 16 gigs on the E980 or does it stay at 32 gigs?
Sorry for the off topic.

I check on here everyday and everyday I see report of softbrick. Most people are able to use the flash tool to restore back to stock tho, I just don't wanna fool with it. I'm using the V5 rom. No, I haven't tried the official update for the Korean model. Yea, some people are able to make it work but you don't know how many steps they took , also their steps aren't consolidated in a way that's clear for people that don't know what they are doing to follow. I also read like you may need to switch recovery for different steps of the process, that sounds like a pain. There is a fix to make it 32 but you'll have to read through the pages to find it

Edit : I feel what makes it difficult is the rom is done by someone that speaks much pretty no English, there is not much communication between the community and the developer.

Edit2: if you want it cheap. You can buy one with broken front glass and replace it. I bought mine for 150, 25 for the digitizer, and just did the glass replacement today, it wasn't bad

Do NOT flash the E98X patch. I ended up soft bricking my phone and the patch doesn't allow me to kdz back to stock. Says my device is not an E980.

some users from other forum also reported the bricking E988.

according to other user from Sonyue forum
1.pressing volume+ and volume- and then connecting the usb cable can flash KDZ.
2.after KDZ it'll start reboot.
3.pressing power for 10 sec, and then enter the LG recovery.
4.double wipe (or triple wipe. im not sure. )

(however, the screen won't work till you finish those steps )

You have a E980?
Use LG Flash Tool WITH Mega Lock dll

Plus you need 2 files a TOT and dll
RENAME the dll file with the model you phone thinks it is.

Now do the normal procedure of the LG Flash Tool and your dll and TOT

Done.
