My phone got Bricked.

I only see a LG Logo. I'm an #lg-optimus-g at FreeNode but noone can help there?

I can't find a factory image to my phone and I cant get in to download mode!

HELP!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aranciata:
you tried vol up+down+power after turning it off?

recovery is vol up+home+power. if you can get into recovery. do adb wipe using your pc.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010624

try that guide.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xodeus:
I can turn it off using vol up + power when at the LG Logo.

The other combinations just give me the logo.

Is there any timing I should thimk about when trying?

I'm downloading the kdz now. But I've got a slow server 100 Kb/s it'll take for ever!

EDIT:

I started a new download. Now at 1 Mbps, thats a lot faster...

And I even got into download mode...

Now I'm ready to start over....
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MrZim4:
Were you able to get into download mode? I've never had a problem with the paid FreeGee from the store but all of a sudden I get a black screen, no boot, no recovery, no download mode.

Edit: guess I wasn't crying over a brick hard enough, tried again and got dl mode.

Edit 2: Same problem after an LGNPST to stock. Black screen no boot no recovery. Maybe something got goofed on the app side? First time I tried CWM, second I did TWRP and no go with either. Love the work and was more than happy to pay for the app when I got my phone by the way.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
It is possible, but requires additional nexus partitions. Right now, we are evaluating if it is worth the risk as there could be several associated issues with it and we would rather not release until we figure those out.

Edit: due to the high risk of hard bricks, we have decided not to release the fix.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
It's all good. I trust your judgment. Not being able to see the menus is a small price to pay. Better to be safe than sorry, right? Anyway, thanks for at least looking into it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] disruptorx:
That was fast, But I got soft bricked (Stuck at LG logo) after I used the updated market app. Had to kdz back to original FW. And I couldn't boot to recovery using the key combination. It just ignored the key presses and went straight to regular boot and got stuck there. This is horrible!

i would only comfirm that FreeGee is not compatible and i doesnt see a compatible recovery (TWRP or CWM) for the E975
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Evilmonstertruck:
I know I'm being a pain in the ass, but I was wondering if the LG Spectrum 2 could get some love?

Thank you

If I could use At&t this would be the phone I would get. This forum seems to have a lot of awesome devs!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jfm567:
Is this program compatible with the LG Mach LS860/ can I destroy my phone by trying this?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
This will not work on either of your phones. Very different devices. Would most likely permanently hard brick you.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Evilmonstertruck:
I figured that. But is unlocking the bootloader something that could be done on the spectrum 2? Its a great phone but know one can seem to do it.

Thanks
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Everhez:
Good afternoon a query This method will serve to unlock the bootloader of the LG P870 Escape, I was looking at your script and all the routes you use to make the backup and installation of the new recovery are the same as my LG currently has V10F ICS with root...

[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
It's possible on every phone. Most rely on some sort of leak or exploit.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JuannTwo3:
FreeGee worked before but it appears it doesn't want to anymore (black screen). Hopefully we'll get a fix soon! :D
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Sounds like a misc partition corruption. Hop on the irc and tell people that and your variant (ie model number or carrier) and they can help you.

What about International Optimus G ? will this work as well on Indian Market Optimus G ?

Any idea if using the app will work with the new JB update?

Edit: Nevermind read the app changelog.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] TORQUERULES:
When will this be available in a version to work with the new AT&T Jellybean update?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] 02busa:
Changelog from today's update to Shelnutt's App says it now supports JB.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] TORQUERULES:
Yes, but when I go to unlock I get a scary pop up saying hat it will possibly hard brick my phone. I do not have a back up phone.

Anyone tried this with the new JB update?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] thecubed:
8 phones now in the wild are unlocked :D

I've discovered a few bugs in my script (like, needing to include busybox just in case you don't have it installed correctly)

I'm also going to make a OSX and Linux version as well here soon.

Even though it hasn't been long, I think most of us here are ready for an AOSP rom of some sort. I for one am ready to have my screen as the highest battery consumer, and not Android OS. :eek:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jsylvia007:
Ha! I thought I was the only one with the screen being the second.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
Nope. I can use the crap out of the phone during the day, OS is still higher. The phone never enters deep sleep. I'm not getting miserable battery life, but it isn't great.

has anyone flashed thecubed's recovery.? Everything still functioning?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] seventieslord:
excellent news!

I was wondering, since this phone has been having USB mass storage issues that we're talking about here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34372864

Would this be something that I could fix with a new ROM? I'm just not tech savvy enough to know if these USB issues would be hardware based (meaning it will never work under any ROM) or software based (meaning a new OS would probably do the trick)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] thecubed:
New build is up!

Sorry for the inconvenience... had a bug in my batch script.

With the decluttered stock Rom with you be able to remove/disable ota updates all together? So we don't have to worry about them trying to patch it.

tried unlocking twice but dint work anytime always had to use lgnpst to get back phone working , gets stuck in LG logo again & again .. do i have to use the paid app or the free app will also work ? m on 11c -> e970 :/
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Shelnutt2:
That was a dropbox logic error. Its fixed in 1.0.1, sorry for the trouble!

Try the free version from the playstore. If you still soft brick and you've never unlocked then you might need the special sbl unlock.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MysteryEmotionz:
Yea I had to do the special sbl unlock. I only had to do it cause I was inpatient on waiting for freegee to update
[AT&T LG Optimus G] acerulz:
Where to obtain this sbl unlock? ?

Play store app, menu -> sbl unlock

Hello, please return CWRP option to choose! It was removed after update in Market! I had Bootloader corruption with TWRP! CWRP always works fine. PLEASE RETURN CHOOSE OPTION!

Solution of the problem:

Who have the same problem use non Market FreeGee method v0.5 in the thread!!! It brings CWRP and works perfect! I bought app and donate but TWRP doesn't work(

Hi all, your FreeGee project is simply awesome!

I had the European 10b firmware unlocked with the FreeGee paid app.

Now, I have manually flashed the AROMBL - Romanian general 10d firmware to discover that FreeGee doesn't support it yet.

I had uploaded the bootimg as requested and patiently wait for your support.

Please do support it.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
TWRP has official support, option to back up efs, and can be updated with goo manager app. Some users have gps issues flashing 4.2 roms with twrp. CWM works fine, as long as it is the latest touch version. Backups made with one can't be restored with the other. Although there is an app called Nandroid Manager that says it can make that possible.

However I cannot get into recovery via buttons. Any idea why?

can you build for Ace 2 ??we need a dev for ace 2 :(
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Tegra: definitely not, Snapdragon S4 and 600: maybe.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Shelnutt2:
We are indeed, but no promises and we just started looking at it.

This specific exploit, no.

Sometimes the key combo can be tricky. Especially cycling the boot menu, as it doesn't always register every key press.

Use the freegee app in the play store.

If you can give me more information on the Ace 2 and dump boot, recovery, aboot, sbl1-3, I can add it to the list of things to look at.

This exploit will only work on the optimus g. The e980 is the only other device its remotely possible and we've proven it won't work, but we are working with a e980 guy on a real unlock.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] CB620:
Did the exploit and now stuck at the LG screen. Can only get into download mode. Ran LGNPST and program gives me LG/USB Parallel dongle is not detected error.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
You need to uninstall lgnpst, then go to where you extracted it to and right click bat file then run as administrator. I would recommend using teenybin, or more.than likely you will need the alt. teenybin.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] CB620:
I'm in lgn on win8 I have the teenybin file picked but its blank when I pick dll
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
I know that lgnpst doesn't work with USB 3.0, there is a guide for Windows8 here.Just skimming through it looks like you need to register the DLL.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Maybe find a Windows7 machine or make a partition to dual boot on yours. Sorry I don't have better answers.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] TaviRawr:
I have a quick question.I want to use the app and I have the sprint lg optimus g. I backed up efs and i am about to put the file on my computer now. Do i need some..."stock" rom zip once I unlock the bootloader?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Nope. Unlocking does not touch your system partition, so no need to flash any ROM afterward. Everything is still there. The only thing that changed is bootloader and boot.IMG (which doesn't affect the unlock itself, but allows you to remove apps on stock without having a security error).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
We don't use it for a plethora of reasons, not the least of which being NEVER JUMP ON M$ OS'S WHEN THEY ARE NEW UNLESS YOU ARE NOOBSAUCE and don't routinely do nerdy stuff like this.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] kotaro_14:
I've downloaded the Play Store version of FreeGee and I'm on 4.0.4 11c. When I finish the unlocking procedure in FreeGee and reboot, my OG stops at the LG Logo. I've tried using teenybins and the alt version but the regular doesn't do anything and the alt is just giving me the stock Jellybean Google Logo with the lock underneath like on an N4 even though I am on LG's 11c firmware. I can get into download mode and have LGNPST back to 11c again. I'm trying to do this to do the camera fix coming from a N4 conversion. I am rooted. I'm not sure if it matters, but w/e I go to 20j I have 0b of storage hence me trying to do the camera fix, I can not immediately downgrade to 11c/10o from 20j or I will be stuck at the AT&T logo, I have to LGNPST back to N4 conversion then LGNPST to 11c/10o. I've been trying to fix this problem for hours. Help would be appreciated.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Factory reset while on 20 j then lgnpst 11c.

The app did not work for me and now my device is soft bricked and now LGNPST is giving me problems. I need assistance.

I can load up LGNPST and everything (I have developer's edition) but when I click "select dll" i only get Utility2.dll and not the .dll I need. Any ideas on what to do?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hasan4791:
Have yu installed the drivers properly....??
[AT&T LG Optimus G] TaviRawr:
Yes I installed drivers that come with one unbrick method and one from the website. I do not see how that would be a problem though.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] yogi2010:
Hey there, I've been having issues when the battery dies on my E970. When I plug the phone in, it shows a crude battery charging animation, then after a minute, it goes to just a backlit screen and doesn't seem to charge? And if I boot it up, it will get to the lockscreen and show 1% battery, then 0%, and will power down.... even when plugged into the charger.

When I first got the phone it had the identical bootloader from the N4, so I could get to CWM recovery and charge it up some in recovery. But since then I restored a stock bin, used a one-click root, and used the market version of Freegee to unlock and install TWRP. Now the bootloader doesn't seem to have the option to go to recovery.... when I can get to my computer perhaps I can fastboot boot recovery and charge up some that way?

I guess I am just wondering if this is a known issue, and how I can work with it? Or maybe is there some documentation that I've missed? Thanks!

Edit: just found the instructions to get into recovery, will see if I can charge up some in there..
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
With stock bootloader the menu is hidden or invisible. From fast boot screen press volume up or volume down twice then power for recovery.

I am not sure if this is a problem with my phone or if it is something else. I am able to unlock the bootloader using freegee app from play store. Everything works fine as long as I do not power off my phone. The moment I do that, my phone gets soft bricked. This doesn't happen if I just reboot or boot into recovery. Any help on this would be highly appreciated.

Hi, and thanks a lot, i was messing around and could`nt boot to fastboot , tried everything .... read side after side , stumbled over this FreeGee , my very big luck, and after 5 min. all done by free "FreeGee " from Playstore , NOW I HAVE BOUGHT THE FREEGEE .

Again Thanks a LOT !!!

:good:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JustSayTech:
Hey to TaviRawr and anyone else you may have softbricked their phone, use this method and it will undoubtedly bring your phone back to life.

Preparing for unbricking:

1.) First download this Jelly Bean LGE970 848 MB TOT/BIN Update File

2.) Then download this AutoLGNPST made by tSilenzio

This will automatically install the proper LGNPST, DLL, and LG Drivers files for bringing your device back to life, it will also register the DLL files properly.​

Unbricking:

1.) Extract .TOT file from the Jelly Bean .ZIP file.

2.) Rename the *.TOT to *.BIN (DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BUT THE EXTENSION, LEAVE THE FILE NAME AS IS).

3.) Run LGNPST_ACG from the Start Menu (make sure its the one that the AutoLGNPST installed although it may not mater what version you have as long as the DLL is registered properly.).

4.) Put phone into download mode (Power off phone and then Hold Vol Up + Down and insert USB cable at the same time).

5.) Select the LGNPST_LS970.DLL for the DLL file.

6.) Select the *.BIN (the one renamed from *.TOT file) for the BIN file.

7.) Click start and let LGNPST bring your phone back to life, if you need to re-root, use this method to root, and voila your back in action.

8.) Enjoy and don't be a stranger, the thanks button doesn't bite ;)

I wanted to point out an easier way to boot into CWM Recovery; Simply download the Quick Boot (Reboot) app from the Play store & there's an option that allows you to boot into the recovery screen: Quick Boot (Reboot)

I've tested & verified that it does in fact work.

If this or something similar has already been mentioned, then my apologies.

Trying to unlock my ladies at&t Optimus G phone. She's on E97020j. Should I use the app in the market? I've rooted the phone months ago already. Haven't been keeping up on this phone so wanted to make sure her current software can be unlocked using the FreeGee app without bricking in any kind of way.

Droid DNA
[AT&T LG Optimus G] yogi2010:
Yeah, that's exactly what I did: started with pure stock 20j, rooted, then paid the buck for the app in the market to unlock the bootloader.... worked perfectly.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] d08speed3:
After unlocked I can use Clockwork app or goo manager app and flash a recovery correct? When flashing ROMs is wiping data OK?

Droid DNA
[AT&T LG Optimus G] yogi2010:
If I remember correctly the app will install CWM when it unlocks the device. Then yeah, you generally want to wipe data when flashing roms, for best results.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] d08speed3:
How do you manually get into recovery again incase of an emergency? Power button +?

Droid DNA
[AT&T LG Optimus G] yogi2010:
Oh, right, again if I remember correctly, you hold volume down while powering on. That will take you to the bootloader where you won't be able to see the options; but you wanna press volume down twice, then power button, to get onto recovery.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] d08speed3:
need help....everything worked. Was restoring apps and upon reboot it froze. So I held the power button down and it turned off. Now I can't seem to figure out how to get into recovery manually. LG sign pops up and sits at a black screen
