[Q] Upgrading LG Optimus G L-01E to 4.1?

[evangelionpunk]

Hi Guys/Gals


How would one go about upgrading the software of the Docomo LG Optimus G L-01E from the stock standard rubbish it will come with ie 4.0 Ice Cream with skin to the latest clean 4.1 version?

Note that the Korean and Japanese versions of the Optimus G do have differences vs other international models including built in one seg TV antenna.


Im assuming cyanogenmod would not be an option.


Im hoping the bootloader will be unlocked as I remember reading somewhere that Docomo will not lock its bootloaders or the phones (to a network) any longer in 2012???



Thanks

mmmm beautiful beast

Loving it!



Now how do I get rid of all this clutter and up it to latest JB rom without losing functions? eg tv, nfc, infrared etc?



also is there an app that can do the LG tweaked features eg voice shutter, multi shot, video PIP and transparency etc?

I'd love to know as well before I buy one myself ! Have you found anything yet ?

I have this same version on its way to me now, does it fly like the wind? What are your initial thoughts?

This thing FLYS.

I have the phone, and the quad core and better GPU definitely make this phone run buttery smooth.

It also has an amazing screen with a nice, crisp, display.
Its a 10/10 in my opinion.

dude..being someone who already has this(mine will be next week) what are your thoughts/opinions about this phone? by buying it..hav i made the right decision? i mean, compared with the other variants ofcourse

Overall its a fantastic phone. What else can I say?

All phones have mods and cons. Biggest con for me so far is waiting for a rooting method and JB rom so I can wipe all the docomo crap and have a clean updated rom etc.

Youll receive 4.1 some day as official Docomo update.
But im afraid you wont be able to get cm10 or 4.2 cause the L-01E really differs from other versions, as owners says, even the optimus g root patch doesnt work on it. Also its just rare outside of japan.
So you should compile the custom rom by yourself

 

[evangelionpunk]

yeah Im hoping there is enough users of the phone here to be able to do it. Maybe there is a japanese forum that has already done it?

I would have no clue as to how to do it.


Im assuming though that it shouldnt be very difficult and would probably require saving of drivers that are specific to this model and might not be included in standard JB.

I not need upgrade to JB
But need any root method with bypass or any exploit. Then can modify my ICS
