this will works in E975 ???????
[AT&T LG Optimus G] alexthelionheart99:
No. If you read all the comments. you will Brick your phone.

As plaster said this is a really old way. If you really want to run a rom search how to port Nexus 4 roms to E975 I am sure there is a guide for it over here.

Okay.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] antonizoon:
This thread deserves to stay open, since there are still a lot of people who have successfully converted their E970 phones out there (like me), and use this thread as an information sharing point.

At the very least, this conversion is a wonder of the XDA community, achieved at very high costs; and stands as a testament to our abilities.

To clear up the fear and misinformation: LGNPST is an extremely powerful tool. But with great power comes great responsibility. It runs at the lowest levels, so there is no safety net to save you if you screw up. If your phone gets bricked, you will need to send it to a JTAG service to reprogram the EPROM for $50.

Also, due to LG's confusing naming schemes, this mod is only compatible with AT&T E970 LG Optimus G models. No other models are supported.

However, if you are extremely careful and perform the procedure correctly, your E970 will be functionally equivalent to a Nexus 4, with the benefits of an SDCard slot and LTE antennas (which was very tantilizing in the past).

After you pass the LGNPST trial by fire, there is no danger. (Just don't use LGOG ROMs anymore)

But I would absolutely not recommend it to any new user, it is far easier and safer to convert the Nexus 4 ROM you want to the LGOG. If you want an SDcard slot, buy a GPE SGS4 or Xperia Z2 Phablet.

WHY HAVE ABANDONED THIS MOD IS ONLY MINIMUM PROBLEMS ARE EASIER TO FIX ME THIS SEEMS TO PUBLISH INFINITE MOD ROM ALWAYS HAVE ANY INCORRECT:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] plaster:
The only reason I say it should be locked, is so it can sink. Every 6 months or so, it floats to the surface like any other corpse. It was useful at first. Now, any ported Roms will be buggy and their performance level will pale in comparison to native OG ROMs.

Anybody tell me this method gives us 100% working nexus 4 ?

After applying patches n fixes ?

I want 100% work same as nexus 4..

Plz reply.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] OMGMatrix:
Then buy a Nexus 4. They're cheap now.

Otherwise, just install an AOSP rom.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ejvyas:
BTW...I have installed this since the last 1 1/2 yrs and upgraded to all flashable N4 zip ROM including 4.4.2 4.4.3 4.4.4 and not Lollipop. I found the way of reversing too much for work for me. I am happing with this setup for now :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] RohanAJoshi:
do you mean you got fully working n4 port ?

how did you do that ?

can plz explain more ?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] lbertking:
can plz explain more ?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ejvyas:
Yes I got a perfectly working n4 port with lollipop. Maybe no LTE but I don't care about that.

What do you want to know ? I just followed the porting procedure and flashed all zips manually (not factory image). No OTA
[AT&T LG Optimus G] RohanAJoshi:
but how did you got things working ?

like SD card, led and volume button ?

and how is performance ?

how is camera ?

can we flash any rom or kernel made for n4 after port ?

without any problem ?

as i read, fixed zip only for cm10.1,

and also kernels are way old..
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ejvyas:
I just followed all instructions in this thread and these 2 threads:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2117576

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2160124

I had to apply these once 1 1/2 yrs back.

Once this is done, I am just flashing latest lollipop zip and apply http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2117576 on top of it. I use Xposed and Gravitybox on top of it.

I am able to flash any N4 roms. Tried AOSP, CM and a couple more.

Performance is very good but can't compare it to LGOG since I never used LGOG. I did this in the first month of my brand new phone!

as i read, fixed zip only for cm10.1,

and also kernels are way old..

--> I did not understand what you said but I can flash any N4 ROMs. I cant use the Google factory images. I can only use the zips that are published in N4 forums and flash it using TWRP. Also, OTA updates will not work (obvious)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] RohanAJoshi:
so, if we apply external sd card fix once, we did not need to do anything about it again ?

does not matter full wipe etc ?

sorry, i am clearing all my thoughts..

.

and what about kernel ?

if we flash kernels made for n4, do we get external sd card support ?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ejvyas:
I always do wipe cache, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache . i know its not what you call full wipe but worked for me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
I think there's a communication barrier going on here. Don't think Xposed is compatible with lollipop/ART...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] RohanAJoshi:
and what about external sd card in recovery ?

does external sd card available in recovery for backup or flash ?

are also on n4 port ?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Moody66:
You arent running lillipop with xposed. Not possible. Dunno why anyone bothers with thus anymore. We have all versions of android.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ejvyas:
I dont understand when you say "We have all versions of android" ?

I can't run Xposed with 5.0 but I used it with all previous versions of Android OS. The Xposed and GravityBox statement was generic not for 5.0
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Moody66:
We have 4.1 to 5. No need to flash to nexus.

"Once this is done, I am just flashing latest lollipop zip and apply http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2117576 on top of it. I use Xposed and Gravitybox on top of it."

This means you installed lollipop and installed xposed on it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ejvyas:
Who is "we" ?

I know what it means hence "I can't run Xposed with 5.0 but I used it with all previous versions of Android OS. The Xposed and GravityBox statement was generic not for 5.0"
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Moody66:
I think you are correct. 100%. As two sentences stuck together means alot.

thinking of switching over to nexus 4 so that i can get a decent Lollipop.. I suppose I could just wait for the kinks to smooth out with the current LGOG releases, but that could be a while. Thoughts? thx :3
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
Bad idea. There are several excellent 5.0 lgog builds. CM, liquid smooth, candy 5, blisspop to name a few.

I don't know any more if the patches to make stuff work after the conversion are even maintained, nor if they are compatible with 5.0 stuff.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ejvyas:
No patches are needed. Just a good modem to catch LTE and reorientation of volume buttons.

hi! this convertion is working good at time?

somebody "converted" try MM Roms? all OK?

you still N4converted?.. all is OK with you E970?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
No, I was only converted for a short time. There were only a couple ROMs that were fully working for me. I don't believe there is any camera or SD support for converted devices on anything other than kitkat. I was running the newest euphoria 5.1.1 when my e970 got stolen. Best rom I ever used - rock stable, lots of options, and great battery life.

yeah, I get the same error while trying to flash CM10.1.

Hey guys, I see some of you are wondering if the bounty should be paid out.

I would like to say, please, do not pay out your bounty money to me. This was not a new thing; I simply posted how to do it here, and I'm going to pursue this as our CM chance, instead of working on it like Team Codefire is currently and building it from scratch.

Again, please do not donate to me as though I've developed this; all I did was write the guide and tinker with it! Donate to me or Team Nocturnal if you like the guide! Otherwise donate to Team Codefire to keep their CM efforts up and running!

Hold volume up and down at the same time and then hold the power button. That should get you there. And you have to be connected to the USB.

Wow this is the dopest hack ever haha. Wish I had a lgog to try it, but I already got a n4:p
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:

Okay, tried unplugging it, then powering it off. Plug it back in, and doing it. Now it takes me to the Google screen, and tries to boot. No download mode.

Hope I'm not bricked here....
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ChongoDroid:
lmao.. yeah absolutely.. Team Nocturnal doesn't want to slight anyone of any credit nor do we want them to feel that way. This is a group effort right down to the brave souls who flashed it. I'm glad that the ball is rolling and that smart folks like Geeker and rohan are paying attention to this device.

Now give me an LG ROM for my N4 :p

TIS ONLY FAIR ;)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] droidiac13:
Make sure you power it down while it is plugged in. Otherwise when you plug it in, it may cause it to try and boot. Once you have it powered down while being plugged in, then start with the volume buttons and then add holding the power button. Shouldn't take more than a second for it to show up in download mode. If it doesn't work, you will have to keep trying. It might take 15 tries. I had the same issue when using LGNPST in the past when trying to factory reset.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
since this is out there and an has blown out of proportion..

the flash that you guys did was the JVP15Q which is 4.2

4.2 JVP15Q MAKOZ10F 2.0.1700.24

it runs on the 2.0.1700.24 baseband.. you want to update

it to the latest 4.2.1 JOP40D MAKOZ10L 2.0.1700.33

you can find the latest HERE

you basically would want to flashboot the update

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz10l.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.33.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-occam-jop40d.zip

the zip from google source will have a batch file which you can click and it'll do all the commands for you.

you wont have to fastboot oem unlock cause the stock bootloader when you flashed the tot came unlocked.

P.S - so much for keeping this in the cave.

I could say been there done that.. but I did.. so I am

power off

hold vol up and vol down

plug in

Went right into download. Never touched the power button.

I am currently RE doing this procedure on another PC w/another USB cable.... I notice the phone starts booting when LGNPST hits 67%, then it goes to 85% and has the error.

did you do fastboot -w yet? I had to do that after lgnpst because it hung at the boot animation. After that it booted right up, maybe slightly longer than normal the first time but now its just as fast as stock, if not quicker. It was a little tricky to get it rooted, but my primary machine is a hackintosh so that may have been the problem. I keep a barely functioning windows machine just for things like lgnpst but its not good for much else lol.

I just flashed the stock LGOG firmware, and its booted fine. I'm gonna leave it like this for now, gotta get to bed. I'll revisit this tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for the help, and to the devs.

Just asking, but what are the chances of getting my hardware buttons back and ditching the on screen ones? The loss of the screen real estate is my only issue. And it's not even an issue really, but if it can be done I would do it. Ohh and SD of course. No lte here so I don't care about that.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] thecubed:
Hi there everyone.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but we will *not* be supporting this method with Team Codefire. Project FreeGee will not support this hack either, as this makes changes to your device's GPT partitioning table-- which if the bootloader decides to use the backup GPT (at the true end of the EMMC) it will completely erase your primary GPT and overwrite it with the backup GPT (which includes the ATT Optimus G partition layout).

This will cause your device to no longer boot, *permanently*, as LGNPST mode is in SBL3, which is referenced to by the N4 firmware's primary GPT (at the beginning of your EMMC).

There are ways for us to detect that you have done the conversion, and we will *not* be supporting your device in any way/shape/form if you manage to brick it with this method.

READ THIS WARNING:

Nexus 4 ROMS ARE NOT MADE FOR THIS DEVICE's PARTITOIN TABLE AND GPU!

IF YOU TRY TO FLASH A NEXUS 4 ROM (.zip through clockwork/etc) YOU WILL OVERWRITE YOUR "rpm" PARTITION, RENDERING YOUR DEVICE UNBOOTABLE.

There's a reason we didn't publicize this when we found this during the initial rooting of the Optimus G, as it has a *very* high risk of brickage.

Also, we cannot link to LGNPST here publicly. I do not want a letter from LG's lawyers in my inbox, as it is a stolen piece of software.

On a lighter note, let it be known that we all appreciate the hard work and ingenuity of XDA and the public in general-- we'd just prefer if we're all on the same page. I'd rather have one community united rather than multiple microcommunities that are disjoint in their agreements and official stances.

Please contact us ( IOMonster, or Shellnutt2, or g33k3r ) before releasing software that has a great potential to harm user's devices.

I wholeheartedly recommend that people not use this, but support this developer in his development process-- let's focus our efforts on something more productive, and less dangerous.

Thanks,

TheCubed (aka IOMonster)

I am by no means a noob at flashing, but I still don't want to try this, mainly because I'm lazy and don't want to revert back to stock when original android development picks up, I'll just wait, I'm sure devs won't take another 3 months =)
