The Optimus G and Nexus 4 have the same GPU (Adreno 320) because they have the same SOC (APQ8064), so no, that is not true.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Dsmforlife92:
I can't remember where but they kept posting it saying it was bad for our GPU but they never gave me a answer
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sk8erwitskil:
yah they have the exact same board pretty much. thats why the n4 had an lte chip on the board lol. because they used the same ones.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
Here is where the GPU thing comes up: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36735476&postcount=149
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
I think he may have meant gpt there. The GPU should be identical.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Dr0!dFreek:
it is also said that we will overwrite our rpm partition by flashing ANY nexus 4 rom rendering it un-bootable which is not guaranteed
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Dsmforlife92:
How come that's not true. That's why I was worried to flash this plus only having 8gb
[AT&T LG Optimus G] d11dog11:
I flashed several cm10.1 nightlies, an aokp and a paranoid android and they all booted fine.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Not true if you convert but if your partition table gets corrupted somehow you are screwed since it will revert to the stock one and nothing will be aligned.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sk8erwitskil:
cant you overwrite your backupGPT with a good working primaryGPT? that way if primary GPT gets corrupted then your backupGPT will be fine. we can extract the backupGPT from the tot.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
It should do that if you LGNPST mako twice. Your PrimaryGPT becomes your BackupGPT after you flash a new one.

so i'm still having problems with activating NFC, i hit the box, the check mark appears and then unchecks itself...anyone else having this issue?

On an unrelated but good news i'm pumped about T-Mobile's LTE coming to Las Vegas in the next few weeks and this phone getting one step closer to becoming a beast.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Dr0!dFreek:
Edit: I did not read your last post properly sorry. I agree with you to the fullest extent
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
It would be a full brick if your main partition table gets corrupted and it uses the backup from stock because it would be using the rpm as the boot image which would kill your device.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Dr0!dFreek:
Nvm
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Yeah LGNPST is some sketchy software. I just about have a heart attack every time I have to use it. It's just so buggy. Odin seemed a lot more reliable.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] pinkster:
So do you recommend to do the hack twice so we get a valid backupGPT?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Eh that's not good either because then you risk running into lgnpsts bugs twice. To be honest I recommend that you wait. We will have something that doesn't require a conversion before you know it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Shelnutt2:
Just a fyi, we actually use two different but nearly identical modems. The optimus g uses mdm9625 where the n4 uses mdm9225. The main difference being cdma support.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Main Target:
I am having the most difficult time getting into download mode (after N4 conversion). When I press vol + vol - and power i get into fastboot mode everytime, not the download mode that I saw prior to the conversion.

Im trying to flash back but can't get to download mode, can someone tell me what im doing wrong?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
Power off. Hold both volumes, plug in USB.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Main Target:
Ha...wow i guess I did do that right last night. This worked great, thanks man!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dvhexer:
Another difference is NFC chip: NXP PN544 in Optimus G and new Broadcom BCM2079X in Nexus 4

So NFC does not work by simply converting to Nexus 4
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xxgmon3yxx:
Have you tried this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34906845&postcount=71 ??
[AT&T LG Optimus G] VladBelsky:
EDIT
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dvhexer:
Yes... does not work :(

'fastboot erase' just erases partition content and does not touch GPT. It looks like guys in that thread flashed incorrect userdata.img(for 8G device) into bigger userdata partition of their devices (16G or 32G) so big chunk of userdata partition was not used.

But to get all available MMC space after doing this conversion, MMC has to be re-partitioned unless we find tot for 16G Nexus 4. But all tot files I googled and downloaded had partitions for 8G Nexus 4.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Gotroot:
I have been thinking about tring this for a few days.. What are the ups and downs.. I really dont care about the 8gb part ...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] amrando:
:confused:

Maybe I'm missing the point here.. WHY??

-crippled OS without hardware support for many features (NFC, etc)

-no SD-card

-half onboard storage

-no LTE support

why would ANYONE do this?? Because you can put shiny 'Nexus ROMz' on your phone and make your phone *look* like a phone that cost 2/3 the price? That's IDIOTIC- just spend the $300 and get a real one then. If you can't afford $300 for a real Nexus4 then maybe you shouldn't have bought *this* phone in the first place. Maybe you all could spend your time CONSTRUCTIVELY- helping out to fix bugs in an existing Jelly Bean distro already available for the Optimus G, instead of jerking off over a phone that isn't as good as this one.

This is like buying a Porsche and then saying 'gee, a 911 just isn't enough BEETLE for me.' :silly:

Why am I always the only voice of reason when everyone else simply circlejerks any technical achievement no matter how useless. The sheer volume of hardware features not implemented or different in the Nexus4 make this exercise pointless- 60 pages of debate and 'me toos!' and what's actually been fixed or implemented? Yet there's already a distro available that really, just needs SD-card support and performance optimization right there. I'm not a programmer, and I like my phone reliable and stable - The Base still works fine for me. But maybe we would all benefit if those who feel like erasing their phone daily could do something productive with that time.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] XsMagical:
for one the Nexus 4 has been out of stock for over 2 months, they just got back in stock this past week... THIS IS XDA AND PEOPLE ARE ALOUD TO DO AS THEY PLEASE

Why root your device? why bash devs? why not be productive and make something but no you rather talk trash to the people that do this for free... take your 65 post count and get a life.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] kangi26:
The point of doing such things is what (in part) makes XDA fun for some of us. It's the experimentation, learning and just flat out playing. Some people do not NEED to have a 100% stable device. No need to come down on anyone wanting to do this.

If this isn't for you just move to an area that is for you.

To each his/her own
[AT&T LG Optimus G] VladBelsky:
Those can be fixed by those with more knowledge than you.

That can be fixed by expanding the userspace partition or using a 16gb TOT if one was available. Once external SD support is fixed when a custom AOSP kernel is made, then it won't be a problem for me anyway.

If you flash the AT&T radio, then LTE works perfectly.

Now go back to your cave, troll. You've proved nothing with your post, other than making yourself look "IDIOTIC".
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Gotroot:
Well honestly I was really just wondering after reading about 30 pages.... LOL

So what all works and what dont?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xxgmon3yxx:
Assuming you will flash the fix after you convert...

The only downs are NFC(which I never even use), crippled GPS, storage/sd card which you said you did not care for.

The ups free movie from google play(transformers dark of the moon), a **** ton of roms from the very active n4 community, latest version of the OS(I love the 4.2 lock screen), better tools, too many to list really...

I'm sure if we ask some one that works on kernels for the n4 they would be able to add sd card support to it, the reason they havent is because the n4 does not come with the sd card slot..

All I can say is try it! if you dont like the latest and greatest OS you can always revert back to ICS... Make it a great phone or not, the choice is yours!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Gotroot:
Well guess i am going to have to try this out lol..

One last question when i flash over the tot or bin file rather .. will it already be rooted with a custom recovery or will have to follow the n4 direction on how to root with custom recovery?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xxgmon3yxx:
you wont be rooted, but it is super easy to root and flash custom recoveries. Just download the n4 1.6 toolkit from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2015469

[AT&T LG Optimus G] VladBelsky:
Get LGNPST from here:

Then it should work fine.

Capacitive buttons will be fixed when a 3.4 AOSP kernel is built for our devices. I prefer on-screen buttons as I can change the buttons, and they can be made smaller to take up less screen space.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xxgmon3yxx:
where did you get 50% from? and where is the 95% completed 4.2.1 rom that you speak of? We get it ok... you tried this and you didn't like it.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] rohan32:
I'm a high school junior who has 6 Advanced Placement Classes in school, and also I've had the SATs this past January. Unfortunately, this isn't going to get me anywhere in life, I do it for fun. I don't get paid, I don't get anything from this besides pursing a hobby of mine. For the past 3 weeks, I had midterms for those 6 AP Classes, along with my other 3 classes, and I had SATs, a test that determines where I go in my life. Excuse me for caring about what my future is going to be instead of bringing you guys a tiny fix for your phone that otherwise would have been perfectly fine running stock, which is what your phone would have been without any of the other awesome developers here on XDA. If you notice my other XDA activity, you will realize that I usually update my things really often, but for the past month I've not released anything for the multitude of devices I work with, for these very same reasons.

And please, show me the 95% complete AOSP ROM you are talking about for the phone? I personally don't see one yet. It has not gotten any recognition besides a few sites, and no one told them to post it, the sites posted it themselves. Get off your high horse. No one is asking you to install this. In fact, please, I beg you to NOT install this, since you seem to hate it so much.

Good day, sir.

Mysterious phenomenon has taken place

Here is my story and I would appreciate if anyone can figure out the non-trivial part of it:

- I did the N4 conversion and everything worked fine

- I decided to flash CM10.1 that has all bugs worked out. In order to do that I had to flash TWRP. So I flashed 2.3.3 TWRP using fastboot.

- Loaded CM10.1 rom on sd card. Flashed it using TWRP.

- After powering on the phone would not go past CM animation.

- Decided to flash CWM instead, so I did it from fastboot

- CWM did not work, could not load sd card

- TWRP also stopped working, it started asking for password

- Went back to stock ICS for a while

- Tried to convert to N4 again

- Smae thing: TWRP requires password i.e. access is denied

result: have to use stock ICS because I broke the conversion.

Can anyone please please explain what I did wrong and how to get back to N4 formware? And also how to avoid sudden encryption with TWRP
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
Use CWM? I've stayed away from TWRP.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] theandre:
Do you think I can use lg og att recovery when already converted to N4 ?

Why after locking E:/ up the N4 conversion does not work anymore ? fastboot -w does pretty much nothing and as a result phone wont boot...

Seems like I managed to screw up in an incomprehensible way...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
Do N4 conversion, boot to stock recovery. Volume down + power. Factory reset. Should boot.

I'm using our LGOG CWM, no problems.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] theandre:
Little noob question: do I lose recovery after conversion procedure ? Should I flash recovery with stock ICS or after conversion ?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
After you do conversion you will have the stock N4 recovery. Do the reset from that. Then flash the LGOG CWM.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] theandre:
The trouble is I already did reset from the stock recovery ( I did fastboot -w upon finalization of LGNPST process), and it resulted in nothing, unlike the very first time. I think there is some magic that screwed up the E:\ drive by locking it up.

UPDATE: I did N4 conversion followed by fastboot -w and then flashed LGOG att recovery which resulted in nothing. E/ cant be mounted...

Also tried to use adb shell wipe data in the recovery and guess what ? it says /sbin/sh: wipe: not found

Funny thing is phone works fine with stock ICS. I just cant convert to N4 anymore. I permanently screwed something after first and last successful conversion.

I think this is a unique brick case that people should be aware of.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
