aah...if you have a production phone...you might have run into tough luck...usually the BL would be secured such that it cannot be replaced...from what i know some OEM's disable flashing on production units and some only allow signed builds to go on...varies and depends on the specific OEM on how and what they choose to really do. Just having a common processor might not help, but I am not sure what LG does in particular and if it might be possible to flash in a new build or not. Wish you all the luck! :)
