Try Flashing a Euro Open found here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/ with kdz flash tool.......and please stop making so many threads about each and every question. And if you must do it then post it Q & A section. Thanks.
Ok, i will try that out. Should i flash over the existing v20a, or downgrade first...??
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
I do not think that you need to downgrade to 10H for that ....... If it does not work then you can downgrade to 10H but I am quite sure that it will work and you won't lose any data.
Good Luck.
You cant get eur xxx. Why would you want anyway?
Because on 262-001 i cannot unlock the bootloader, but on euro open rom i can..

Sorry to hijack the thread :good:
Did you manage to get your phone onto the EURO Firmware or you just unlocked your current firmware ?
To unlock the phone and install a custom ROM I take it that you must root the device first so :-
1) root
2) Unlock
3) cwm
4) custom rom
I am coming from a Galaxy S2 which I did not have to root just use ODIN so thats why I am asking because I want to go straight to custom CM10
I unlocked 262-001..... And
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers and you have to unlock bootlader before installing cwm....

the screenshot doesn't show that cwm is installed ..... only which version from recovery is selected,
you cannot flash a recovery right now via cwm .... but i think it's only a question of time
maybe ther is also a solution to get it onto the device withput unlocking the bl .... who know's
As said in other threads. The Bootloader is signed and encrypted. We can not "yet" flash any custom recovery. Well we can, but the phone will not boot complaining about not verified signature.

Its not necessary to unlock bootloader for a custom rom
first root your phone then install recovery
search for a rom for stock kernel and install it
You can use custom roms but you need those that tell "(for) stock kernel"

Sent from the deepest of my heart.
I've been a heavy user of Android for a few years, and flashed several roms, mods and kernels on my LG P500 and my friend's phones. But this phone is a bit different from the other ones i've used, and my budget is a bit low, so i'm afraid of screwing up. What i need is to somebody to help me, with the requirements i need and the process of rooting this phone. Any help of someone who is already rooted would be appreciated. Regards, AnonymRocker.
Just unlock the bootloader and use this tool
http://www.batakang.com/ftp/RAZRi/RootUtility/RAZRi_Root_Windows.zip
Hi TheAnonymRocker
For this phone I tried several rooters but the one that worked was the TATAZEUS mentioned.
Install Drivers and simply execute Root.bat into the zip. Tested on 871.111.20003.XT890.Brasil.en.BR. But Works on 871.111.20003.XT890.Brasil.en.BR too.
To unlock this phone visit Motorola website to request unlock key. Lost Warranty but not the updates for phone.
I'm going to try this method once i get home. Thanks for your help!
Do i need the drivers to use the root tool? And if i screw up, can i possibly brick it?

Yes you've obviously got the root access but you've gained it from the previous version of ics. The last version wouldn't allow rooting without unlocked bootloader as it could be assumed from the experience of those who tried to root upgraded razri.

Nope, rooting is necesary to give some apps elevated permissions. If you want to change your firmware, you must unlock the bootloader, and the use a tool like RSD Lite to flash a new firm over the actual one.

It's allowed. Nobody forces you to pay dollars for unlocking and this thread is a valuable share
This is nice. I personally am quite against locking phones. Remove them shackles!
Looks good - I think people are just skeptical because usually unlock codes need to be bought (around $7.99 at the lowest), so we think "warez" when we see "free." Of course certain models like the iPhone and my old HTC Desire Z can be unlocked through pure software exploits (related to baseband) but those are more well documented.
It works! after 4 day you get 3 codes nck nsck spck. My phone was locked to telenor hungary and now it works with vodafone sim card.

I've read about privacy issues with sharing your IMEI. There is always that uncertainty that someone might do you wrong.
But from what I've read fremyblackberry has been around for more than 2 years and has tons of forum posts on different sites that confirm a satisfying service. Having said that, i think that it is unlikely that the service itself would abuse your IMEI.
However one should NEVER post IMEI-s in a public forum. I've stumbled upon forums where some user offers free unlocking by code, and users blindly race to post their IMEI hoping to get a free unlock. That way those codes can be read by the whole world, which is far more likely for them to be abused by someone.
Bottom line is, if in doubt, don't do it.
This would have been useful one month ago.
I payed just £0.99 to unlock my LG 2X anyway.
do I need to be on stock ROM to unlock?
I tried dialing 2945#*990# in CM10 and nothing happened
Hi deewhy,
Yes, you have to revert to stock first. You should do a nandroid backup before. I suppose the CM ROMs don't contain the code for unlocking SIM-locks.
After unlocking it, just restore the backup.

It depends how you flash a stock ROM.
If you flash a stock rom ZIP file, you will be able to restore CM via CWM recovery.
If you flash a stock rom in .fls/.bin file, your CWM recovery will be overwritten, and it will be more difficult to reinstall CM.

if you are just using it for normal use like phone calls, whatsapp etc..you can avoid it.
Having said that rooting your phone will open up a new world of access to you.
You can unlock your bootloader, flash new rom. but will void your warranty.

I wish people would stop perpetuating this stupid myth that unlocking your bootloader invalidates your warranty. It doesn't necessarily do so at all.
If you over-clock the CPUs and blow the phone up then you are unlikely to get help from LG, but if your screen falls there is no reason for them to refuse the repair.
It's all down to what you do with it and how you unlock. If the official method works then you are far more likely to get help than if you use the other methods and blow different fuses.
It also depends how you bought the phone and where you live.
