Is anyone else getting bored of this? I sure am. OEMs: unlock your bootloaders, you are not going to win this one.

Download the Windows version here, or the Linux/OSX version here. Same deal as always: install LG ADB drivers if on Windows, put device in USB debugging mode, connect via USB, extract zip file, and execute “run.bat” (on Windows) or “run.sh” from a terminal (on Linux/OSX).
