[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
This has been looked at even awhile back. This is how I pulled the files for juggie to get the wifi fix for the Canadian cm10.1. This is also

been another way of me pulling the mako modem .24 .27 for the nexus4 guys over at the N4 guys. The reason nobody has said anything

is because like xboxfanj has mentioned, the risk factors of bricking and damaging certain partitions that don't get overwritten... And

of course.. cause the mako tree doesn't support a lot of things that the lgog supports. like the ext_sdcard in the kernel and the capacitive keys

in the kernel and all the drivers loaded from the kernel for those.. volume buttons will be inverted.. and so on etc etc etc.. there's so much more

but I just rather not mention.. until if someone works on it. it's not safe public to flash.. u'll end up with basically not a very functionally phone and

could at this time do more harm then good.. unless you are a developer. but publically I hightly suggest not to....

Process seems pretty simple to me. The only way to mess up is if you don't follow directions. Works like its supposed to I will post back when i find bugs. Note i had to do the fastboot -w command in order to get it booted up.It sucks for those who sold there og for a nexus 4 or other android device. Development just took off great work devs.I knew i made the right choice of a phone

Edit- I didst think the og could get faster. I guess this is the power of project butter or mabey just an unbloated rom

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jakeroxs:
Yep no problem man! I spent hours of frustration trying to get it to boot so wanted to save you the trouble haha :)

And a few things you should know, all of the n4 roms that aren't stock you will have to make a "fix" of sorts yourself. Unless you use the cm10.1 posted in these forums.

I use TWRP for flashing most things but have to switch back to sk8s OG cwm for backups and restores (since n4 recoveries can not see the external sd)

Most roms will require a n4 recovery to flash since it is made for the n4. I have heard there's a way to flash them in sk8s by editing a file in the zip but I am not sure on that.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Dsmforlife92:
How do you make a fix for all ROMs yourself I'm thinking of doing the conversion because I like customizing my phone and I'm sure we will get aosp soon but I think we might have issues and not much customization

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Connor Baker:
The Nexus 4

So. Hey everyone. I'm a bit of a device interloper, and I was hoping that someone would be able to answer my question.

My question is this:

Would the second portion of the OP (converting the Optimus G back from Nexus 4 Partition schemes) work on a Nexus 4? That is to say, would I be able to take my 16GB Nexus 4 and convert it to the stock Optimus G configuration in order to flash ROM's for the Optimus G on my converted Nexus?

Moreover, would I even have to change partitions? A user in the Nexus 4 forums claims to have just flashed a ROM on his Nexus 4 (note: he has not specified if he changed partitions; you can find his thread HERE).

If this did work, is it likely that the proprietary tweaks and optimizations would take effect? The Nexus 4's major flaws are it's washed out looking display (this is working on being fixed by Paranoid Android maintainer Molesarecoming; his thread can be found HERE), and it's grainy/noise ridden camera.

Thank you for your time and patience,

Connor Baker

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Dr0!dFreek:
Keep clicking the reset button I heard that might let you reset. you can't get into the boot loader because you are now on att stock. Also try powering of and hold power on and power off while booting and it should be able to hard reset I also heard. What I do is wipe data and cache and fastboot - w before converting back and that works fine.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] noobsquared:
I am in the same boat as you.

I had TWRP, so I wiped data, cache, system, data and all the other partitions before doing LGNPST to Nexus 4.

Once it was at 85%, it told me that phone was disconnected, so I closed LGNPST.

After that I waited forever for the phone to boot up.

After around 20 minutes, I did fastboot -w to erase everything once I went in Fastboot mode. I turned the phone off using power, turn it on with vol + pressed, in fastboot mode I erased and waited again...no boot.

I then flashed stock images from efrant's thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312 to no avail.

Now, after following his method and did everything he said, I'm still stuck on Nexus X boot animation screen. It's been almost 10 minutes and no luck.

Do you remember how long it took your phone to come back after flashing stock images?

Thanks in advance for any help/input.

Edit:

I got it working.

Since my computer recognized it as N4 but it won't boot, I did another fastboot -w and then did another LGNPST to N4 tot/bin file and it came back up right away.

Thank you everyone for this awesome hack, loving the device even more. :)

Does the microSD card work? Does it still give you the 16GB internal storage? Any bugs I need to know about, because I might buy a OG instead of a 16GB Nexus 4 and install this. Should I?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] pinkster:
Microsd works perfectly. For full internal storage (aprox 12gb free) you need to do an aditional fix that is really simple.

Go for it, you wont regret.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] abdi7451:
And it really works like a nexus 4? Completely like a Nexus 4? Meaning updates from google, recognized as a Nexus 4, etc.?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gunnyman:
Updates from Google work fine unless you have fixed up your conversion to have working SD card and capacitive buttons. Those things don't work out of the box so to speak. If all you do is run the lgnpst to convert your phone to a nexus 4 you'll have an 8gb nexus 4 with no SD card or capacitive buttons or lte.

Getting it fully functional and maintaing the conversion takes a bit of work.

It was cool to see in action but to me not worth the effort. Ymmv
[AT&T LG Optimus G] robstunner:
Is battery like the same as nexus 4 (blah) or LGOG which is pretty good.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gunnyman:
battery life on the conversion seemed to be about the same as stock for me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Theoretically it should be exactly the same as the nexus since it has all of their firmware and drivers and also the same battery.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] robstunner:
I've always found the LGOG on stock outlived the N4 in regards to battery life.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
That makes sense. The software and firmware are different, but assuming they're the same, such as with the conversion, battery should be the same.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] freebee269:
hello. have a question about fastboot -w. i followed the LGNPST directions (which was same as doing stock lgnpst except for a diff bin file) and everything went fine. it booted up to the nexus "X" boot screen and stuck there. i went into fastboot mode and noticed in my device manager i had an "andoid" with exclamation point. i installed samsungs drivers and installed the adb interface for samsung. (since this is the same method to root n4). this allowed me to be able to use fastboot. so i did fastboot -w and in command interface 2 things came back as ok. so i chose start on my lgog and now i'm still stuck at the nexus x boot animation. its been well over 5min. anyone got any ideas?

i noticed that on reboot the google sign stays up for about 45sec. is that supposed to be right?

EDIT: figured out what the problem was. the reason why the google sign was taking so long was because the bootloader wasnt properly unlocked. i used this guide here http://forums.androidcentral.com/ne...3923-guide-nexus-4-factory-image-restore.html and was able to do a "fastboot oem lock" followed by a "fastboot oem unlock" and that did the trick. to google boot now takes no longer than 10sec and the OS finished its install and booted to the welcome screen.

EDIT 2: just wanted to say thanks for this. i was able to get everything working on my lgog from the different threads. everything is working nicely as far as i can tell. camera, lte, gps, wifi, 32gb sd card, all working on android 4.2.2 stock rom. plus this will now allow me to get android 5.0 when it gets pushed to nexus 4. i'm excited about that. thanks again devs for the hard work.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
Getting stuff situated to give this a shot - except androidfilehost appears to be down - does anyone know of a mirror for the N4 .tot file linked to in the OP?

Thanks

dd

Edit: disregard, it's back up.

Edit 2: Following instructions in OP got me to the (apparently frequent) bootloop. Doing "fastboot -w" resulted in a successful wipe message, but return to bootloop. The advice in the post directly above mine (toggling oem lock on and off via "fastboot oem lock" immediately followed by "fastboot oem unlock") reslulted in a successful boot to welcome screen.

Thanks for all the informative posts in here - looking forward to some AOSP lovin'!

[AT&T LG Optimus G] NickS_:
So I did this today, followed the guide & what not. It hangs on the nexus "X" logo, just sits there doing its animation but won't fully boot. So I cleared all data in fastboot, still nothing. Flashed CWM and CM10.1 for our N4 conversion, cleared data, cache & dalvik. STILL hangs, but on the CM10 animation now. Just re-LGNPST'd it but I think its still hanging.

Any ideas fellas?

For some reason it's still not working, & it can't mount the cache or data partitions.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] freebee269:
@nicks_ yes i'm running the stock n4 4.2.2. if you were able to lgnpst the stock 4.2.2 in the lgog to n4 thread and are stuck at the X doing a boot loop, follow this guide to flash the factory image again. this should fix your problem. http://forums.androidcentral.com/ne...3923-guide-nexus-4-factory-image-restore.html on your initial n4 install, dont forget to run "fastboot-windows oem lock" "fastboot-windows oem unlock". doing this will stop your google and X splash screen from taking so long and allow the installation to complete.

after you get booted up, install cwrm or twrp. go here and get the 0.33 radio and faux123 kernel with fixes. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2169485 also go here and get the ext sdcard fix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2117576 . flash the sd card fix first because it has a radio in it also that doesnt work nicely with wifi then flash the 0.33 radio. after that everything should be working.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] freebee269:
the only negative that i can see that comes from doing this is if you decide to go back to lgog stock and then flash snowjbv1.1 rom, the camera will not work. the camera will work on the stock ics rom. and it even works for the deodex stock roms that people have done like nocturnal and ginsix, but it's a no go for houstonn's and snowjb's 4.1.2 roms. wish there was a way to get the camera back in those roms.
