I unistalled all the other drivers, so how do I install the new ones??
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jivy26:
After you flash that .tot you'll need to install nexus 4 drivers it's what I had to do
[AT&T LG Optimus G] therealburk:
Okay, I think I installed the new drivers, now could someone give me a step-by-step on what to type in command prompt and everything else Please?

Wow...yet another example of why there needs to be some sort of orientation to be able to post at xda. I've seen forums here where these kinds of posts would be burnt to a crisp as they don't belong in a development thread anyway beyond a sticky.

So, I post (very politely I might add):

Here's a sampling of some replies right after my post:

...Maybe I should go back in hiding....

Yep, complete MORON I was entering wrong in command prompt, so now that I checked what I was entering I did the fastboot -w and it said user data and cache was erased, now it should reboot correct???
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sk8erwitskil:
You need to uninstall all lg drivers. Then install the "naked universal driver". Google for it and the thread has instructions on how to install them

PLEASE help me guys, now that I figured out what I was doing wrong all I want to do is get back to being able to lgnspt to get back to stock. Again THANK YOU

I don't know...maybe I need to have a beer or something. I remember when I was learning this stuff (lol....like I've "learned" it now) it was when the super circle battery mod came out.....that thread in the desire forum was brutal. It was like a roast at times.

I've been around xda long enough to have observed some interesting phenomena. It's interesting how a thread can take on a personality of it's own....left unchecked, posts like the ones I'm talking about start breeding...or more like inbreeding...to the point of where they dilute the more productive posters. It's just flat out loathsome to have to slog though some of that just to reply to someone who actually has taken the time to UTFSB.

Did they ever start making folks watch this before they register?

I think I have a more safe idea than converting to the N4. Why not convert to the E971/973? Those have a similar partition map to that of the E970, but can boot N4 kernels if you freegee and flash an N4 ROM in recovery.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Dsmforlife92:
Is that possible to do
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
yeah.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sk8erwitskil:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] SnowLeopardJB:
The AT&T modem works just fine. I have been running it for a day now with no issues.

I just do not believe that this is a good idea in general, as this is assuming that most normal users who do not have the same experience we have will be able to successfully LGNPST, use fastboot, and then flash a modem without messing up their phone.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
Okay so, here is what I'm thinking.

1. Nandroid backup current setup.

2. Copy backup to PC

3. LGNPST this wackiness

4. Install CWM from N4 forums

5. Flash ROM from N4 forums

Use it... if I decide not to keep it:

6. LGNPST back to LGOG stock

7. FreeGee to re-unlock

8. flash CWM

9. copy backup back to phone, and do a restore

This make sense? Although LGNPST isn't as fool proof as ODIN, I've used it, its not difficult.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] chadouming:
Eh, i believe they will turn this in a easy flashable zip package :P

What i also believe not to be a good idea.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] rohan32:
Yeah, was gonna post all that tomorrow since i gotta run now :) thanks for posting in here though.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] rohan32:
Indeed... only flash this if you are experienced in flashing stuff :P Don't be a noob!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Technically you can depending on the updater-script. Qualcomm has an interesting partition scheme in which they use by-name and by-num. By-name uses the name of the partition it flashes to, so if flashing to the system partition, it would say system. By-num uses numbers like /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

The names of the partitions is the same for us and the n4, so if the script uses that, you would be fine, however, if it uses by-num, you would be flashing to the wrong partition and bricked, as the n4 and og numbers do not correspond. You would be flashing system for example to the rpm partition, which is a full, unrecoverable brick.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] chadouming:
Shouldnt have told that, people will thing they are safe now. The thing is people only see the words they want to see.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] play2lose:
That's a great idea. Wouldn't it just be the same exact procedure except having them flash an E971 or E973 .tot file?

Considering I flashed the Nexus 4 conversion fine, I'll leave that up to someone else with insurance to test lol :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
How about refusing to assist those who are obviously noobs and have no idea what they're doing?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] play2lose:
Just an update, my battery life is MUCH better on Paranoid Android than it ever was on LG OG roms. I usually got 2 - 2.5 hours of on screen time before.

I'm at about 2 hours of on screen time today with 44% battery left still :D That means I should make it over 3 hours of on screen time which I definitely haven't seen on this phone before.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
There is something wrong with your setup, then, dude. Your current battery life isn't anything to be excited about either. What I am excited about, though, is finally seeing pics where Android OS and Android system actually look to be under control.

Not to turn this into a battery thread, but it really leads me to believe it just isn't being displayed/calculated correctly on stock roms.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] play2lose:
Nah I've always had low battery life from my HTC One X, to Galaxy S3, and LG OG...it's because I'm in a really bad service area, I constantly have 0 - 1 bars lol (as you can see in my previous screenshot).

My One X, S3, and LG OG never made it passed 3 hours on screen time no matter what roms or kernels I was on. Well that is till now, with the LG OG running a Nexus 4 rom.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] rohan32:
that involves the same process, and the nexus 4 partitions don't harm the device as long as you don't flash another devices ROM besides the Nexus 4 when you are converted... and you won't be able to flash a Nexus 4 ROM without editing the mount points anyway, so it adds another thing you have to do to flash their ROM, when this just allows you to flash and go
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
I tried this when it first came out, and couldn't get anything to boot. So I decided to re-download and try again. Still nothing. Can't get anything to boot. I just get stuck on the boot animation.

I flash using tSilenzios automated LGNPST, it goes fine, then I fastboot flash the newer N4 files, still stuck. I've also tried -w. Also, it sits at the Google screen for a good long while before it goes into the boot animation.

This is the same setup/PC I've used to flash back to ATT stock, and its worked everytime.

So I decided to try another Windows 7 PC, same results. Everything goes perfectly fine, but I get stuck at the boot animation each time. I even flashed CWM, and the CM rom, still sticks at the boot animation.

Thoughts? Anyone else run into this problem?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JohnCorleone:
If any of you are unsure about the process or something you may need to do along the way, I can shoot you my kernel for stock that has adb remount and such working so you can get familiar with that...just in case. I have had my head buried in my other AT&T phone and I knew this was out but damn it has turned into the wild west over here! I wish I could help more (that's how I got most of my thanks) but I don't even have LGNPST yet. Anyhow, make sure you read everything twice and don't be scared to ask a question BEFORE you start if you are not understanding something.

Boosted, do you have the current n4 drivers installed? I was stuck too because i didnt have the latest installed? Does it actually do a clean wipe when you fastboot -w? I mean can you see it on the screen....i was having problems recognizing my device with adb, so i had to re-install and put in another path.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JohnCorleone:
I have been saying that since day 1. Its a reporting error. The NS4G had it. If Android OS was consuming that much battery then the battery would drop like 35% while you were asleep. It is annoying to look at though

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
Yeah N4 drivers on both PC's. Fastboot works fine, I usually do -devices to make sure. Also -w DOES show wiping, and "okay"

After flashing the conversion I've used fastboot to -w, flash the newer image files, (also used the flash-all.bat) and flash CWM. All successful.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jimi_pooh:
Dude I have no clue. Let me think about it some more and see if i can think of some other reason. Sorry!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
hahah, yeah no problem. Its very odd. I'm not losing anything but time trying this. I just redid the AT&T setup, rooted/freegee/restored my nandroid. So back to where I started.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jimi_pooh:
funny thing happened to me when i went back to stock....it wasn't complete stock. I still had remnants of the Noc ROM...I was locked and unrooted but some of the same apps were still in my app drawer. The second time i did the convert and flashed back to stock it was complete stock. i wanted to flash the CM10 but i didnt have a recovery image....so now that i have one im going to try it again. Good luck and I'm still thinking
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
Each time I've used LGNPST to go back to stock, its been dead stock. Nothing left over. Works without a hitch. Then I always use the old Korean root download, then FreeGee. Then I copy all my crap back to the internal storage and do a nandroid restore.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jivy26:
Yea ive tried every combination to get n4 conversion to boot and eventually just gave up
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
So its not just me then.... hmmm...

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nastybutler:
They have been helping you. Perhaps it's time to help yourself and use the search feature. It might require you to do a lot of reading. That's how you learn.

The first way they tried to help you was when they said that unless you know what you're doing you shouldn't even attempt to do this hack. Clearly you didn't know what you were doing. Now you want to be spoon fed a solution to your problem. I know I need a fair amount of help from time to time, but I try to make sure when I ask for it, I've already done everything I know how to solve it myself.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
I'm sure he has done everything he knows how to do to fix the issue. That's the problem and why this method isn't for everyone. Al phones have their small quirks. Just ask Jivy, he's no noob, but he never could get it to work on his phone. However, he knows enough to be able to recover back to stock...hope dude gets it figured out.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nastybutler:
I think this goes to my point of him not having the necessary skills to attempt the conversion in the first place. You gotta know your limitations and heed the warnings.

I realize that it's a case of 20/20 hindsight at this point. I hope he can figure it out. I'd help him if I could, but I'm afraid I'd be in his boat if I had ignored the many warnings myself.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Yeah, I was in the process of doing my first LGNPST when I wrote that post. :) It's still hooked up to my pc, that's why I'm using my sgs2 for this post. My problem seems to be that I ran totally out of internal memory somehow and that was obviously borking everything. I'm freeing up all (much of) my interior space now.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Dsmforlife92:
Any luck on this
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sk8erwitskil:
Overwrite the backupGPT with your working primaryGPT.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] huan01:
Very easy hack, just like what Samsung use for Odin.

After flashing via LG software with the Nexus 4 .bin file, I was stuck in the boot loop. Tried to use fastboot -w, it was successful however it did not get me out of boot loop.

Then I realized the fastboot -w command only wipe /userdata and /cache. It does not wipe /system. So I tried wipe by entering Nexus 4 stock recovery by selecting it in bootloader.

Once I entered Nexus 4 recovery (green android with hood open inside an red exclamation mark), I pressed vol down and power button, it bring you the recovery option, use volume key to select "wipe data / factory reset". After that was done, reboot the phone, booted into Nexus 4 AOSP within 1 min.

After booted into Nexus 4, a ROM update notice from Google was received. I applied update, now I am on Android 4.2.1, the performance is just like my real Nexus 4. This is awesome that I can even get real Google OTA, and it works as it was a real Nexus 4.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] rohan32:
Hmm, very interesting, hopefully this can help some of you who are having issues
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JoeyGuard:
same thing happens to me really annoying
[AT&T LG Optimus G] rohan32:
Have you installed the Nexus 4 drivers? You will need those after you convert to interact with the device, as it is now a Nexus 4 and no longer an LG Optimus G.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
Hmmm.... I'll try this in an hour or so and report back.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ryfermadness:
I really want to do this bad but my SD card is important
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jivy26:
Didnt work on this side...Boosted have you purchased the phone within last 30 days?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
Wow you beat me to it. No, its been over 30 days for me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jivy26:
Ah well...I will give this a try on my brothers computer at his crib tomorrow. Maybe its TOO much for my wifes netbook lol
[AT&T LG Optimus G] chachin:
If you have successfully converted to nexus4. PLEASE post your battery stats thing pic from system settings.. i wanna see if Android OS is fixed with this hack :)

[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
I'll be damned, it worked! And booted in less than a minute. I had a good idea that it was working when the Google logo only stayed on for a few seconds instead of 30+ seconds.

This should be added to the OP?

My method:

LGNPST N4 conversion

Didn't even wait for it to boot, just went to bootloader and ran "flash-all" bat for the new files

again, didn't wait just went to bootloader, recovery, factory reset

reboot

booted in under a minute

[AT&T LG Optimus G] play2lose:
You won't be able to do that with the stock recovery you have to use fastboot. Run the fastboot -w command from your PC with your phone on the bootloader menu.

I really want a nexus 4 16gb but its so damn elusive (thanks gooogle) that this might be the next best thing. Also after this mod is done, does the optimus G support tmobiles aws frequencies for HSPA+? or Does the optimus G already support those bands when sim unlocked.

My recovery wouldnt load after flashall and when I flashed and booted into recovery it wouldn't mount data for wipe so here is what I had to variate to get it to boot on my phone (stole BoosteD little guide feeling too lazy to retype it all)

-LGNPST N4 conversion

-Didn't even wait for it to boot, just went to bootloader and ran "flash-all" bat for the new files again, didn't wait just went to bootloader and flashed CWM Touch recovery.

-Wipe data/factory reset

-Now goto mount and storage then select format /data and /data/media

-Reboot and enjoy
[AT&T LG Optimus G] huan01:
After getting out of the bootloop after flashing the Nexus 4 conversion by using Nexus 4 stock recovery to "wipe/factory reset". I am happy to report, LGOG with Nexus 4 rom have completely rid of my need to buy a Nexus 4. Why you might ask? Here are the top 2 reasons why LGOG with Nexus 4 conversion is great.

1. Able to install Google Nexus 4 OTA, and it works perfectly that means we will always have latest Android version.

2. AT&T 4G LTE in Houston TX works perfectly with Google Nexus 4 stock baseband firmware on LGOG, enable it by dial *#*#4636#*#* and select "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)", and add PTA LTE APN settings to the APN list.

3 posts in 5 years that's some major lurking lol
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mfknboss:
:what: lol
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xxgmon3yxx:
I would flash the fix zip from the CM thread, it is universal and you dont have to enable LTE manually each time you reboot.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Bracemg:
Question. This is obviously not a method that should be used by the relatively inexperienced (like myself - I've been rooting for a while but by no means am I a developer). That said, do you foresee that this method will be tweaked to become "safer" and less buggy (i.e. LTE enabled, full access to sd, etc.) or will the first "clean and easy" JB / CM style ROM need to be built from source when LG releases the code? Just wondering because I'd love to convert my phone to a Nexus so I can get OTA updates etc., but I'm not willing to give up LTE, etc. Any thoughts?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BoostedSR20:
LTE is working well, volume buttons are fixed, things are running smoothly. I'm not even running the CM 10 we have here, I'm using a Nexus 4 ROM. All that's left is only 8gb internal, and no SD access. I'm sure that's being worked on.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] daddioj:
