Stuck on AT&T Logo

I couldn't find a guide like this anywhere. Therefore I would like to add the following to help persons who are restoring from a custom firmware or stock, and installation is stuck at 85% and the phone is stuck at the AT&T logo. The Windows device manager should be also saying LGE android MTP device "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

1. Turn the phone off. (Unplug USB cable. Hold Volume Up Key + Power Key at the same time for about 15 seconds. If phone still boots hold the combination for longer)

Hard resetting the phone:

2. Press and hold Volume Down Key + Power at the same time.

3. Release the keys when the Factory Hard Reset screen appears. (A barcode like thing appears at the top also)

4. Press the Power Key twice to confirm.

5. device will perform a hard reset.

The above WILL erase all data from your phone.

I just reflashed my LG OG E970 with LGNPST and I am using the updated version of FreeGee however, I chose to do the mako unlock and for some reason the screen like loose its calibration when I boot into recovery. I can't press the right buttons to complete a back up.

FreeGee

So About the FreeGee It is a really nice app but last time I used it (5 days ago) it soft bricked ( then I tried to fix it and I hard bricked it ) my phone and didn't allow me to flash any roms any Idea why ? and what should I do so that wont happen again ?

Please I really want to try it again but my parents will kill me if I brick my phone again ( we don't have riff box or anything like that and we cant get one because it is too expensive )

I then did a factory reset and downloaded the freegee app from the play store, fired it up and everything seems to have gone ok (saw that twrp-2.6.3.0 was downloaded successfully), but it's been stuck on the message spinner saying 'performing action TWRP-2.6.3.3' for over an hour.

How to return a real mac address of bluetooth.

This is a known problem on the e975. The problem is not just me.

Read http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=420801&st=6600&gopid=28230212 & # entry28230212

I'm shocked, please help
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Shelnutt2:
Mytagen,

I was reading through the Russian forms and is the mac address issue happening on stock rom or on cyanogenmod? There was a known issue with cm 10.2 for E970/LS970 (but E975 was not effected) where the mac address for bt was reset on toggling bluetooth (or airplane mode, or restarting the phone).

If this is happening on stock it seems like it might be a LGE software issue. With freegee the only thing touched is sbl1-3, aboot, and boot (and recovery if you install cwm/twrp). For boot, the only thing changed are 1) Device console is changed to a non-existant one in the kernel cmd. This is needed due to a slight different in the memory address which the mako aboot is loaded into. 2) The init script(s) are edited so that the wallpaper utility is not run. The wallpaper utility is how LGE checks for changes to system apks, and is what causes the security error when you uninstall a system app and you are not unlocked.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Mytagen:
Thank you

Yes, I know about the problem of inclusion, but what to do with the mac address

This happens on stock rom and on cyanogenmod

lg e970 with tmobile

i managed to root the phone but as i started to unlock the bootloader i realized that freegee says i run a risk of bricking my phone due to me being on jelly bean and need to do a special unlock that flashes sbl

my question is it safe to unlock bootloader in jellybean using freegee or is there maybe another way for me to flash a recovery?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] porlex:
I'd like to upgrade to mako bootloader since it appears to be safer. I'm running CM 10.2 stable with TWRP 2.6.3.0 as recovery. what should I do? I saw a re lock option on free gee but some users here reported that this caused a security error. thanks

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Shelnutt2:
You are fine to unlock and install a recovery

Don't relock, I'll get you a better solution in a bit.

No verizion is fully supported. Are you on a custom rom? Some custom roms change the build.prop and the ro.product.model which make it some the application can't correctly detect the device. Which rom are you on?

Hey guys,

Everything worked fine and I had no errors. I got root and the SuperSU was also working perfectly. I rebooted the phone and it is now stuck on the bootloop. I can get into download mode but can't get to the bootloader or anything else. Is there a way to restore the phone or did I just brick it?

ETA: I did go through the whole procedure and everything went smoothly but once I rebooted the phone is where the problem started.

E975

I've unlocked my LGOG E975 with freegee via standard classic unlock procedure. I know now I'm on MAKO10F Bootloader revision. The problem is that my phone sometimes WONT power on ( I press power, see LG logo, black screen then nothing). So I need to press power button more than 10 sec and try again to boot. No problem if I reboot the device or if I reboot in recovery from running rom (CM11 nightly/stock kernel). Theres an updated version of the bootloader? Or maybe I must start unlocking the device running a particular KDZ version? (mean unloking from stock E975 10D). Recently I tried to relock and flash KDZ 10i then unlocked again with freegee but I still have same MAKOZ10F bootloader. 10D and 10i version still have the same bootloader or freegee overwrite it with its version? sorry for billion question just want know more. :confused:

cant charge after unlocked.

hi,

i faced with a problem after unlocked via freegee.

device charges normally while running stock rom but the battery cant be charged after unlocked . while battery goes to empty then i put into charger (1.2A traveler original) then it cant charge(i wait for an hour, its just heats up) so that i have put into download mode and sent original rom via lg tool.

whats the reason for this problem ?

[AT&T LG Optimus G] cpurick:
Hi, I used FreeGee to check Cyanogen's final CM10.2 build before flashing my Verizon LG2 running VS98012B. This is supposedly a supported build.

This approach hung my phone until I found the following helpful thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2620733

Basically I had to crack open a CM11 zip and steal the loki files. After I overwrote the loki files in my CM10.2 zip I sideloaded it, after which I was able to boot the ROM.

I'm posting this because there have been reports of loki problems with at least some VS98012B phones, and apparently someone at CM has done a bit of the heavy lifting and placed working loki ouputs into their CM11 build. Links to all the relevant downloads are included in the post linked above.

Should be a simple matter for somebody knowledgeable to see how the new CM build differs from the loki LG G2 output of the current release. Maybe loki can be updated to handle this device better. As I said, I've been reading about other VS980 users getting stuck while trying to use loki. This was a major pain that took me hours to find and fix. I can't imagine how long it took the author of the linked post to originally solve it. It would be nice if this change could be incorporated into FreeGee.

So, does this work with AT&T D800 running KitKat now?

I saw in the notes that is said a warning for kitkat users was added. But when I installed it, I was given no warning.

I have NOT tried to install TWRP recovery as of yet. Don't want to break my G2 again lol.

Edit: Trying to install TWRP.

been like 20 minutes like that. Still can receive calls, etc.

After 30 minutes, I just killed the process with ATK and rebooted phone. No errors or anything, but I assume no recovery either.

So this app works just fine. But occasionally it will get stuck on "Downloading supported device list". The 250 file kb downloads fine but is not detected (?) by the app.

I'm wondering that myself. I haven't seen anyone confirm freegee works yet for ls980 or any g2 variants yet. And i haven't used autorec for the same reason you have...im generally NOT a lucky person and just know I'd end up with that white lines problem.

You guys are simply awesome!

I went and bought this phone yesterday from bestbuy for $99. I am very happy with this phone so far. I asked them how this phone is selling and they didnt have a straight forward answer. They only said that they had 10 to start with and left with 2 now. And they had 100 Galaxy S3 in stock for Black Friday. I am really mad at LG and ATT, they are not advertising this phone enough.

I had tipped Engadget, Phandroid and other few deal sites that LGOG is selling for just $99, but they never published that. :(

I think the news of Bootloader getting unlocked should go out then more and more people will buy this phone over others. More phones in market will get LG's attention and they will provide better support for our phone. If you guys have any friends at Engadget, Phandroid, any other sites, even if u dont have friends there please pass on this news of unlocked bootloader. It will really help us. I will do the same.
