Hi everyone, I just bought an ATT LG Optimus G unlocked and it comes with android 4.0 ics. What is the best way to root and unlock the bootloader without losing my unlock to use the phone on Tmobile? I've read that I can either use freegee or flash the teenybin. Also, I am interested in flashing kitkat roms.

From what I understand, the teenybin installs the correct partitions and what not to run new jb and kit kat roms based on the mako kernel. That leads me to think that teenybin would be the best option to unlock my bootloader since freegee does not provide the necessary files for jb and kit kat roms.

And by doing all this, will I still be able to use my phone on Tmobile? Thank you!

Edit: I want to avoid using .tot files because I had a really bad experience with trying to flash stock roms onto my htc one s with the htc utility and ended up bricking my phone. I really want to understand everything before doing anything. the lg optimus g seems like a really nice phone and I want to keep it in good shape.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
From what I have read sim or carrier unlock persists no matter what you do, including return to stock with lgnpst. If you want to use teenybin to get to kitkat you would need to download the kitkat twrp and the ROM of your choosing, do the teenybin, then flash the newer twrp, choose reboot recovery to get into the new one then flash ROM.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] joemanbui:
Thanks for the reply. So should I just root phone then flash teenybin with lgnpst while I'm still on stock ics?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
No need to root beforehand. Teenybin will install recovery, use that to flash new recovery, then flash kitkat ROM which will be rooted.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] joemanbui:
Thank you so much. One last question, I do not need to have a soft brick in order to use a teenybin right? I can just flash the teenybin over my working phone and install a rom from recovery?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Yes it can be used on a functioning phone, it was created for dual purpose (repair softbrick and update rpm/tz partitions). If you want to flash kitkat be sure to have a copy of the kitkat twrp and the kitkat ROM on your phone before using teenybin.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] autoprime:
i suppose i should get around to updating recovery in the teenybins :angel:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Rishi.:
Yep.!!!!!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ditomathew:
My phone was on a soft brick after I rooted and deleted some apps... It started showing security error while booting up.

So I did everything mentioned in this forum and my phone rebooted and showed a Google logo after 67%. Then it goes off (screen is blank) and I am not able to boot into recovery or reset.. Downld mode still working.

But if i just press the Power on button alone.. it will show Google logo and again disappear into completely dark in few seconds.

Any help or advise is appreciated.

Meanwhile I tried both bin and Google logo started appearing when I tried the alt bin, and in the 1st bin nothig was coming.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
I would keep trying to get into recovery by making sure phone is powered off then press volume up and power at same time.

Request

Regards.

Sir Autoprime my short story is that I was enjoying my LG Optimus G for last 11 months. It was rooted, boot-loader unlocked and running a custom ROM . One day I needed usb otg support so I search for it and fined a mod by XDA member samm_cz at {http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37896376#post37896376} when I flashed this the phone turned off and never turned on, Now neither I can't access CWM nor download mode even it does not respond to charger the only thing left is that when I connect it to my PC a red light blinks near front camera and is dectected as QHSUSB_DLOAD . please tell me is it hard or soft brick and can teenybin method will work for me? I humbly request you to help me to get out of here. Hoping for good response.Thanks in advance:crying:

Bump?

Sorry for a second reply here.

So it finally installed TeenyBin. For like a second it showed the Google logo and screen went off. I try to reboot, it wont. Try vol up + power, nothing happens. When charging it also shows a battery logo for 3 seconds. It can still go into download mode.

Any help would be appreciated
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Imran Pirzada:
Good Luck

If you can acess download mode and having erros in flashing kdz you should try any other kdz this will solve your porblem like me.:cool:

Phone restart loop issue

I flashed this stock Jellybean bin

ATT E970 20j Stock .bin: LGE970ATT-V20j-Stock.bin.zip (815.1 MB) - http://bit.ly/1551nS5

But my phone restarts after it turns on.. What can I do now?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mikeylikey:
Depends on what you mean by "flash". That has to be installed using lgnpst. If you just flashed it via cwm or twrp, it won't work so I'm not sure if that would be the result.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] danishjamil:
I installed using lgnpst. Booted up completely then restarts and boots up, restarts, boots up... loop
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
You could try factory reset using button combo, it is power and volume down at same time. It may be hard to get the combo right, but you will know when it worked because there will be a screen asking to confirm the reset. It will completely wipe phone including internal storage for sure, and maybe even external if SD card is installed.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] danishjamil:
Tried it also. Didn't work.. What else?

LS970.dll vs E970.dll

I am looking to put my E970 back to stock, Installed the lgnpst, and the dll file says ls970. I thought the LS970 was the sprint version of the optimus g. will this dll file work, or will i have to find an e970.dll file to work with lgnpst?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jituthejeet:
That dll LS970 should be fine as long as phone is getting detected by lgnpst is download mode.

Please read

Hi ...

I tried flashing Hybrid radio/modem on my e970 running MOKEE4.4.2, stock ICS radio.

It went ugly, phone could no longer boot up & was showing message on blue screen as,

'Subsystem crash!'

'DemiGod Crash Handler : Subsystem Crash! : External_modem (Undefined error)'

'Press key to choose Dload Mode/Reboot/Fastboot'

I then tried 2-3 other radios including stock JB, but all yielded same result. Later i thought of flashing stock ICS radio again & to my surprise it worked. phone started again.

Afterwards while discussing one fellow xda'an suspected that this might have happened because;

Phone came with ICS as stock and I backedup efs, unlocked bootloader, cwm(which only happened because of your help on IRC) installed then flashed CM11.

The fellow thinks this happened due to older partitions as I did not do full LGNPST(teenybin for that matter) to go to stock JB, which in turn could have upgraded the partitions. as a result, nothing recent than ICS modem could run.

Reasoning seems logical n thats y this post.

Can this be the reason if yes will teenybin solve the problem?

Can one flash teenybin when phone is in working condition ;)

As I already have cwm 6.0.4.7 will TWRP be overwritten?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] smashcz:
can someone explain what to do with "E970_Original_TeenyBin-AA.bin" file ?

(I'm stuck on LG logo - on E970 phone)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mikeylikey:
Use Alt-teeny bin and it will fix your issue.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] smashcz:
Thanks for response, but how do I use it, its just one "bin" file

what do I do with bin file?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mikeylikey:
The instructions are in the OP. You have to use an LGNPST app that is Windows based.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] XsceneXhippieX:
so i flashed the stock JB rom, and then the teenybins in here and then a more updated recovery from a thread in this forum and i cannot get anything to flash for this phone, literally everything gives me an error about a updater binary script even though i have verified everything 500 times and i cannot figure out what is wrong here honestly

anyone have suggestions?

I don't know much about lg phones. I'm a moto user. A friend of mime broke the hard keys and tried to modify the build.prop to have soft keys rebooted and it caused as boot loop. My question is will this fix it or do I need to reflash the full stock firmware
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Afaict you can't. You download the att tot and ls970 dll and use those. Works fine.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] deshwani:
Sir from where i can download stock firmware for LG E970 AT&T which is tot or bin file about 1.2 GB??

I bricked my phone while installing custom rom and now its not detecting sim card but whole phone is running ok except sim card network... pls help me...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Wulfric:
Hey is there anyway i can do something like this on my lg g2? I'm pretty desperate at this point
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ShoaibAhmed:
If LGNPST/Download Mod works then Flash TOT file (Whole firmware)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50775936&postcount=1

or if you have working TWRP then ADB sideload
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Wulfric:
Tot method gives me and fboot fail and stops and i cant sideload because my internal storage is shown as 0. Thanks anyway
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ShoaibAhmed:
try LG Flashtool if LGNPST doesn't work. And if you have system and kernel img of stock firmware , you flash it in fastboot/bootlloader Mod. and unbrick your phone. For that you need to extract TOT file.

" If you can't boot.. fastboot has to work. If you can't get to fastboot you're doing it wrong."

OK, I must be doing it wrong, so maybe someone can help. I can get into download mode with no difficulty. I have tried using both the original and alt teenybins, and removing the phone at 67% or 85%. I can't go beyond 85%, as when i try with either Ieenybin, I get the "Phone is disconnected" message.

With the original Teenybin, I get to the LG logo at 67% and it stays there even after unplugging the phonw. With the alt version, I get the Google logo for maybe three seconds and it disappears.

I also tried using LGE970AT-01-V20j-310-410-MAR-08-2013+0.bin to go back to the stock firmware, but just after it reaches 85% and I see the AT&T logo and hear the AT&T boot sounds, I again get the message that the phone is disconnected, and the phone freezes at that point.

In any of these cases, once I turn the phone off, I am unable to boot into recovery or the ROM. I have tried quickly pressing VUL UP + POWER, long pressing, medium presses, you name it. Nothing works. I was coming from a Lollipop ROM--Euphoria--if that might be the cause. I have no idea what my serial number/IMEI is, so there appears to be no way to use the LG flash tool as an alternative.

Anyone have any ideas, or should I take it to a shop that has a JTAG??
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mbonus:
Dumb question but did you factory reset through stock recovery?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Buscador:
I can't get into recovery--that is the whole problem.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Buscador:
It does not appear that anyone here has an answer, so I will do that. Thanks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Buscador:
Factory reset after flashing the stock firmware indeed did the trick. When you wrote "through stock recovery" I thought you were saying I needed to boot into recovery, but after the poster on IRC said the same thing I did a bit more research and realized what you meant. Thanks.

Hi guys i do the whole TeenyBin process that saved my lg from security error but now is freeze in lg logo so i try AltBin but now is worst I think.

Now is a google logo for 2 seconds and shut down. I can enter TWRP but i really dont want 2 download a 1 gb stock bin/tot. Any other fix? Soft brick please help me guys...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Drewman294:
Geez louise!! I thought i was all set to flash the TeenyBin then when i go start the LGNPST program it says COM4_UNKNOWN. Something about a component being 5.0.1.0. I installed all the files necessary for it through using the installer in the AutoLGNPST-tSilenzio.zip but it gives me that message. I am not sure what to do now.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sawdey21:
did you run it as an administrator? and by that i mean run the install as an admin? you can join the irc chan #lg-optimus-g for faster help too
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dbgeek:
Every time that I LGNPST, I get a "UNKOWN" message. I suspect that the SW isn't set up to recognize anything but stock installations, so it gives the Unknown. Can you select the bin? If so, then you should be good to go.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Drewman294:
Yes sir, right clicked and ran as administrator but still gave me that message. Rebooted even after a second install but still no luck. I can't now because I was using the program on my parents computer while I have a macbook and cannot do s#!t with it since nothing is compatible.

SW?

Yeah, I can select it, I selected the ls970.dll file and the TeenyBin bin file and it still gives me that message of COM4 unknown and I cannot go any further.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Zen-Dragon:
This sounds amazing!

Is there a way to get a .bin w/ CWR instead of TWRP. :fingers-crossed:

I only ask because I've never tried TWRP and all my ROM backups are CWR. From what I have read the backups are not compatible with each other...

Or is TWRP that much better and it's time to make the switch?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] majinzen:
Lgnpst to use this. Not cwm or twrp.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dbgeek:
SW = Software. Sorry, I work for a large IT company and our jargon sometimes invades my comments.

You phone is in DL mode, right? Have you tried switching usb ports? If you've done all of those, you prob need to jump on irc.

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

Correct, back ups are not compatible across the two. You always have the option of flashing CWM after you run Teenbins.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Drewman294:
Ah, okay. No problem.

Yeah it is. Held both vol up and down and went into download mode where it says do not unplug until done. I have yet to try switching ports however.

I was thinking I downloaded an older version of LGNPST but I did get it from that zip in the guide on pastebin.com

Sent from my LG Optimus Me
[AT&T LG Optimus G] autoprime:
the lgnpst from the pastebin should be good. unzip that file and inside is a .bat file that you need to right click on then select the "run as administrator" option. then hit yes when windows asks if you're sure. if you have an antivirus running that could cause a problem.. so disable that first if you do have one. the bat file should install everything.. just pay attention to what says in the command prompt screen and keep an eye on the programs as they install.

if that still fails and its just a components issue.. try running each of the component installer files that are in that zip file you downloaded. then maybe reboot?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Drewman294:
I'll give all that a try tomorrow and report back. My parents computer, which I am using to lgnpst, has a lot of antivirus stuff, so that may be the culprit. But, I'll see. Thank you!

TeenyBin Typical ATT Edition

TeenyBin Special ATT Edition

:)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
Just out of curiosity, I was on SnowJB and want to install RootBox.

I really didn't want to flash the official JB update and have to e-root and unlock.

I was under the impression that I could lgnpst this file and it would update the tz partition (which I thought was what we really needed for the new ROMs) and then I could reboot into fastboot and get into recovery and flash the ROM/Modem via TWRP.

But after I tried to flash this with lgnpst it won't go past the LG logo, I try to hold the volume up + power and it just tries (and fails) to boot normally, I can't see fastboot or anything different.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

Also, at the moment (3:40 Eastern Time) both links are dead. The files have been removed from mediafire. Maybe they are being updated, or maybe mediafire didn't like them.

Just wanted to let you know in case it was the latter. I was about to try the alt version. haha.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] autoprime:
refresh the first page. you wanna flash the teenybin altbin if you cant get to fastboot with normal bin.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
Refreshed, just started the download, thank you.

Is the alt from a different OG variant or something?

Just curious as to what I am actually flashing/why the original didn't work.

Thank you.

EDIT:

Successfully got into TWRP after flashing the JB.tot and then rooting and flashing the alt teenybin. Thank you for this and your help.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] autoprime:
AltBin is equivalent to FreeGee-Pro or the newer FreeGee > Menu Button > SBL Unlock option.

All Jellybean SBLs block the unlocked bootloader... so in addition to the normal unlocking process the SBL stack must be downgraded to the stock ICS version(11c). Doing this works for most devices but a smaller percentage of devices requires a different SBL stack. This is where the FreeGee SBL Unlock and AltBin come into play.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] CKrzacz:
Very cool fellas, love seeing all this come about!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nastybutler:
Add me to the list of users who had to use the Alt-Bin. In case someone is keeping track of these sorts of things, I have a "slow" OG. I was worried I'd bricked after not being able to get into fastboot after trying the standard TeenyBin. I put the Alt TB into LGNPST and she booted right up! Now to try out RootBox, muahahaha! Thanks again to all you awesome devs. I snort derisively at the fools who bailed on this phone for a POS GS3 or X+.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
I might be another one where the standard bin just put me in a bootloop. I won't definitively say that it didn't work, as it was my first experience with LGNPST, and through the inexperience, when the phone rebooted at 67% complete, I (naively) rebooted the phone while still connected and LGNPST was still running. This then caused it to get to 85%, then 100%, then bootloop.

I already had the 20j.TOT, so I just flashed that. Got there in the end, and if I'd done it correctly, I would have preferred the teenybin method.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Bacon8r:
For me it is showing the Nexus 4 boot up animation and fastboot. I used the alt bin. Is this the way it is supposed to look?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] autoprime:
when it hits 67% and reboots is when the flash is complete... ignore the 85% errors and the "unplugged errors" that LGNPST cries about. so you're fine there.

Did you not try the AltBin? That should have worked for you... at least to be able to get into fastboot after the LGNPST flash then go into recovery from there to flash a new rom. Indeed TeenyBin does not always cover all of the bases and sometimes a full bin is needed to avoid flashing a rom in TWRP.. and if you have the full .bin.. sure why not :)

Yes. This is normal. For users that cannot unlock with normal methods, a different sbl stack is required. It's basically that or you can't unlock. To fix yourself after that and go back to stock.. you would have to flash a full stock lgnpst .bin file and remain locked. So I'd suggest if you have to, use the AltBin with different sbl stack :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ChefAnt:
Autoprime. Any way there is a flasgable yet for my situation?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
No, I didn't give altbin a go. I already had the latest FreeGee, so my thought was that if TeenyBin didn't work, I should just do it the old fashioned way anways. Besides, as you've pointed out, I need all the LGNPST experience I can get!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Bacon8r:
Thanks for the reply. I did the N4 Conversion, I just wanted to be sure my partitions weren't messed up or something alike.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] autoprime:
if you're running the nexus 4 conversion and flashed teenybin then you didnt read the big read letters at the top of the first post in this thread.

teenybin is not for nexus 4 converted phones. it writes a different GPT to the phone(stock att GPT). teenybin does not support the nexus 4 conversion. if you must stick with the conversion and accidentally flashed teenybin you may have to redo the conversion.

teenybin is safe for all non-converted phones.

To update RPM/TZ? it's doable but not very safe.

how bout installing a fresh windows 7 in a virtual machine? :)

if i made a zip file and then it failed.. i'd feel bad :crying:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
If you came back from N4 without doing the camera fix, your partitions are likely still screwed up

Although the whole reason I wanted to do this was to update the RPM/TZ and to get my gps working again. Sadly my gps doesn't work. Don't know the heck to do about that now!

Thanks!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
It shows Nexus because it flashes those sbl stacks, that's why it is named alt bin.
