Thanks, I recovered stock firmware and am back up and running. Started to panic since I finally decided to root and unlock last night.

The app looks easy, will give it another go a bit later. Since I wasn't the only one, maybe there is little bug that needs to be fixed?

Anyways, good job on the app. Thanks for your work

I can confirm that for new e975 stock firmware if you not install new custom rom after you unlock bootloader, your stock rom will not work. I got it work by install custom rom. It work fine now.

The UPDATE is horrible! Return back old version. Do not work on e970!

Solved
Old version 1.2 is in the PlayMarket -> FreeGee -> Description

Yes this screen with Google Logo right! but if I use Kdz to flash stock rom again it gives errors and i have to unplug and replug it in download mode... The old version worked better it didn't give this "problems" Why did they change it like this :crying:

You can still download the old version. It's linked in the description on the playstore.

Second we've ALWAYS used the nexus 4 bootloader for unlocking. Using the mako sbl stack was optional. Now a year after the device came out, I've got quite the number of complaints about why we don't use the mako sbl stack by default. So after lots of testing, the mako sbl stack is about as safe as flashing the ics sbl stack which is needed for jellybean devices. The advantage of this is you now get the bootloader screen.

If you really want the ics sbl stack. I'll add that as an option today.

I know some people are having issues with the new freegee, but I tested it throughly on every device I had access to, and I didn't push it to the play store until I felt it was ready.

If you do have an issue telling me "Its broke" or simply leaving negative comments on the playstore does 0 to help solve them. I need to know what you were doing, what happened, a logcat of running freeegee, and for you to send me your boot image. I can't solve problems I don't have myself, and with the large number of variations of lg supported devices out there, there are going to be hiccups.

Lastly I've had a few people claiming FreeGee bricked their phone recently. If it turns on at all it's far from bricked. Most of these people did other things after using freegee which caused it.

Had the same problem with kdz and had to do unplug/plug thing. Maybe by using bootloader from nexus fw compatibility is avoided, since the previous version of freegee didn't support my phone...

Don't get me wrong, I'm most thankful for freegee. I have had a chance to unlock bootloaders on many devices and this is one of easiest so far. Just giving you a feedback so that you can have idea of to work on in future versions
Simple unplug/plug is easy, and crashing stock rom...why would someone even unlock bootloader if not planning to install custom rom???
Just edit first post and point to those steps, and maybe and to app description on play store. By me, you will always have 10 star review.

install cwm

in sometime screen show can't not download or download error, just very short message

then next 10 min screen shows something like installing cwm(can't remember)

I reboot the phone.

it shows a kernel cruch and
if press power to faastboot, shows unlock.
try to go to recovery, shows google logo in the upper screen and a small lock on the button.

quit and redo lgnst.

I think I would stop at root until devs have suggestion about what should I do or anything I do wrong

Thank you

It should still work fine. We had to change our download server unexpectedly last week and we are still experiencing minor issues as a result. If you run into download issues please try again after a few minutes.

As of a few hours ago this has been confirmed fixed and the update was pushed to the files without a need for updating the application.

@Shelnutt2 LG-E987 is not supported by this new freegee, or it tells so. Do you have the boot.img file over there or i give you the img ?

You are supported now.

 

[nch26]

You are supported now.

Thanks for do it quickly, but it says that my device is a G Pro, and E987 model is an Optimus G. I dont install any just to be sure.

Good catch, sorry about that, your model # always confuses me with the G pro model numbers of E986 and E988. I've updated and corrected this, you are good to go now.

Got the update from the Play Store (v1.9.7), granted superSU permission, downloading supported device list, and still get the Unsupported Device popup, app force closes. Running stock rom F180L_20S, rooted. Tried rebooting device and error persists.

Can you link me a build.prop for 180s? Maybe I have the device.name wrong for detection. I thought ro.product.name=LG-180S for you.
