hello mandarjoshin,
Due to soft brick, I flashed my e980 US model with a e988 Hongkong JB stock KDZ coz i always get an error in tot flashing.

Currently, Im in stock JB e988 rom in my e980 smartphone.

Would the OP rom be safe for me to flash?

Hi Bro,
You can use the latest LG Flashtool 1.8 and the latest .tot file. It works flawlessly.. I'd recommend not to flash this Rom on ur current rom as the base of this rom is E980.

This ROM has also European Languages .Very nice. I removed the modem.img from zip and flashed it on my E986. I did a factory reset in recovery and format system and wipe dalvik cache and than install zip from external SD in CWM 6.0.4.8. The External SD card is working. Fotos and downloads remained on internal storage. Also speakerphone is working in a call. Awesome :) Finally a fully working LG 4.4 2 KitKat with Dutch language.

Hi, I dont understand wich file I must download. My Vieatnemeze is too bad (actualy negative value).
Please provide any translation in OP, I'm so confused.
I can't download the DLL file http://lgviet.com/forum/threads/tong-hop-root-recovery-lg-e980-kitkat.19251/ and I don't understand how to unlock and root the 4.4.2.
Thank's!

Hi, why r u checking the Viet site u can check xda to get the stock ATT 4.4.2 and how to root 4.4.2. Check Xitrom post in development section only and get the recovery mentioned there..

This is easier said than done, but i always got an LG Flash Tool error saying that my device is wrong.

LG Mobile Tool Support currently recognize my phone as e988 coz i flashed a stock JB e988 hongkong KDZ.

By default, i think LG Flash Tool does not work for OG Pro International variants

Has anyone by pass this error.

    this is hangnovas work, say thank to him, works flawlessly, butt do not fare flash this over aosp, it will surely brick the phone, in general section three is flash able stock kit Kat, flash that, because file architecture is totally different in jb, and kk, you would see after flashing, the internal sd card is emulated rather than its own fstab, so you have to be on stock other worse recoveries would be **** up and so your phone to be

    same here, cell standby drains battery like hell. I also have a weird bug regarding ingress. I cant submit portals since location doesn't seem to work(stays on a black screen).

    Edit: as somebody stated before, this rom comes with a recovery, thing is i tried installing another recovery (a newer version of CWM), and rebooted to recovery(instalation was a "success" according to the recovery). Phone rebooted to rom, tried to reboot again to access recovery and now i'm stuck in the LG logo. I can't get into recovery, though i can get into download mode. I will have to KDZ back to stock now (grrrrr) and won't be able to do it until i get home(which is about 8 hours from now). Really wish the dev would have included any other recovery, I'll be returning to sphinx in the meantime.(The ingress bug doesn't let me submit new portals, which is a deal breaker for me)

    You need open zip and delete recovery.img and done this recovery will fu*** the device you cant install from SD too
