So because the download for the zvb tot was taking forever and I wanted to start fresh, I used the zv7 tot, followed by flashing the teenybin. I then flashed stock zvb to get a GPS lock and update my profile. Well, I found a problem. When ever the phone connected to 3G it would cause a reboot (more like a "hot boot" I think.) So every time I tried to update my profile it would reboot before it updated. I tried installing another ROM, redoing the entire lgnpst flash, tried both zv9 and zvb modems, and just flashing the teenybin again. Same results everytime. I eventually got it to update I guess cuz it started showing 3G in the status bar and rebooting a second later. Flashed CM and I do in fact have 3G, and no reboots. So seems to just be an issue with stock based ROMs.

TeenyBin Typical Sprint Edition

TeenyBin Special Sprint Edition

much better names :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] HdMsTrTeCh:
I updated my ZV9 to ZVB by flashing a zip (Shadow) then flashing radios. I've been flashing between Lifeless, Imperium and CM10 (last build was 3/30) since with no problems. Do I still need to go back and LGNPST to properly update?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] artlan:
Beyond a certain build yes - though which one I don't off hand remember.

If you flash a newer AOSP rom (like CM), and you get a black screen - you will need to flash a TeenyBin to be able to boot into the rom.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] EFEXR:
Thank you all again for those who worked on this little side project.

Here's my situtation:

I flashed the original teenybin and got stuck on the once again on the LG screen to black screen. I took artlan's advice and flashed the mako version of the teenybin. This version worked perfectly. As soon I flashed this my original rom did not boot up (just like in the OP it stated that this might occur). But luckily I got into fastboot and into recovery. From here I flashed I.I. 2.0.1 and once again I am so happy that I can flash roms again.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] natelw:
Where are you guys getting the mako bin? I have looked everywhere, obviously I must be looking in all the wrong places. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
name change.. its now AltBin... and has nothing to do with converting phone to nexus 4.. and still does not support those who converted to nexus 4.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] natelw:
Ok hmm well the ALT did not get me back to fastboot? After the phone reboots at 67% it does not go anywhere it just shuts off, should I put it back in DL mode to let it finish?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
no it's finished at 67%. Was the batter charged before LGNPST flashing? Was anything wrong with the phone prior to flashing or were you only trying to update rpm/tz. being specific with as many details as possible will help.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] natelw:
Last night I flashed the latest CM 10.1 everything flashed and restarted fine. Before I went to bed the battery was about 15% I shut it off and plugged it in to charge. This morning I got nothing when I tried to turn it back on. Tried getting into recovery and nothing. I also tried plugging the phone in again and when I did that the red light and the bottom keys flashed alternately but never did anything else. After flashing, the alternating light has stopped but the red still flashes while "charging". I get the grey battery icon with the bolt when I first plug in but nothing after and will not fastboot. DL mode works no problem.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
Ok.. I've seen this situation more than a few times. It's never happened to me personally tho... it seems there is no perfect method for getting out of this weird LED flashing mode.

1. Some people have it charge on the wall for an hour or so and then unplug the phone and it works.

Or a slight variation.. charge the phone on wall.. then after an hour.. unplug it for a few minutes and then stick it BACK on the wall charger. Then their battery charging icon shows up.. phone starts charging normally and all is fine.

2. Some people try to boot into different modes over and voer again while plugged into usb/pc or wall charger... sometimes going back into download.. sometimes trying to get into fastboot.. sometimes pressing vol down + power... and then randomly... one time it'll boot.

3. Some people say that taking the phone apart and disconnecting/reconnecting the battery then things seem to work.. orr they're able to recharge again normally.

Try them all.. variations of them.. whatever... but I believe this is some sort of battery issue.. or your phone overheated. I wanna lean towards battery issue since Download Mode still works. Once the phone finally gets a charge.. it should boot back up.. or at least boot to fastboot.. and then recovery. So.. don't get focussed on booting into a rom.. fastboot may work before booting up will.

Goodluck. If you fix your issue please come back and let us know how you did it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] HdMsTrTeCh:
So I tried this because I got LGNPST working and want to run new CM. I originally updated zvb through flashable zip. The process was quick but it booted right back up my I.I. ROM. I wasn't sure if this did the trick so I did the full unlocked zvb bin and rooted back to stock. CM10 is running but am I repaired (RPM/TZ)? Can I flash away now with all other ROMs?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] artlan:
If your running the latest CM10 then your rpm/tz is updated. If they weren't, CM10 wouldn't boot. You're ready for any rom now
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Evolutionmods:
without teeny i would have been forced to Advance exchange the device. major thanks!!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ABurningFalcon:
Did that have anything to do with your xperia Z project, by chance, would it?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Evolutionmods:
Kind of :) im working on it again though
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigjoexxl:
Im trying to install the LGNPST using the guide thats posted and once i got to step 3 (select bin) i get lost. I have the DLL file scrolling as showen in the pic.But i cant find the Bin file anywhere????? Pease help
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Crwolv:
That because your a buckeye fan......GO BLUE. just kidding trolling ya:)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigjoexxl:
Lol, I don't like this guy!!!! Go Bucks!!!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kmull4:
So when trying to flash the teenybin I get a "The file path is empty" error. What am I missing?

Edit* figured it out with the help of autoprime
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigjoexxl:
I had the same problem...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kmull4:
Did you figure it out?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigjoexxl:
Nope, just was going to wait a few days and try again.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kmull4:
Check the dll option right above the bin option in lgnpst. Make sure the dll is our model number. That is what I was missing
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigjoexxl:
Whenever I got to step 3 and opened the bin folder I didn't even anything there. It was just basically a empty folder or file.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kmull4:
It should be where you extracted the file. I would download the file again
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigjoexxl:
Yeah I was going to delete everything and start over fresh sometime this weekend.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] SpaceToast7:
Can't get to boot or fastboot. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] foxsdaddy67:
I have a question. I used this to get cm working but flashed back to stock. Would i have to flash this again if i decided to go back cm again or is it a one and done deal?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] maxrusakoff:
Upsss. After rebooting i saw Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

only :( only JTAG or any software methods?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Same as bootloader unlock. Lgnpst overwrites the partitions, so you would need to flash them again.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader = brick at the moment. Yes, it'd need jtag. Currently there is a software method being worked on but it's not working just yet. :(

After teenybin you got that message? Could you explain exactly how this happened?

1. Was anything wrong with LS970 prior to flash? Was it stock?(not converted to nexus or something)

2. After you flashed the bin in LGNPST, did the phone reboot by itself at 67% ?

3. any other details you could add leading up to this?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
Updated OP with more flashable stock modems. Also there is a correction... the PREVIOUS "zv9 modem" zip was actually ZV7. (woops)

All modems are now correct... ZV7, ZV8, ZV9 and ZVB.

I've also added a new flashable .zip that backs up all of your partitions.

Need teeny bin

I am at work and my boss blocks media fire anyway someone could email me a copy of teeny bin harrison24.hb@gmail.com
[Sprint LG Optimus G] mobius1484:
Email is on its way. :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jamesadalpiaz:
So tell me if im reading this right.

Unlock with FreeGee on ZVB, then flash TeenyBin using LGNPST from Download Mode and factory reset OR flash a custom stock ZVB zip to keep data intact and to boot into the rom?

I just wanted to make sure. Thanks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] vnv01:
So Easy I had to make it difficult..

I just wanted to say "Thanks" to all of you guys who made this program possible. I think this may be easier to recover than my dearly departed GNEX...

I Just purchased a new LGOG yesterday, and had it rooted and unlocked...somehow I mucked up the backup process in freegee and softbricked right to the LG screen...nothing but Download mode was available... after an hour or so of research I decided to give LGNSPT and teenybin a try... it took me longer to find the damn program in my Windows 8 search than it did to fix the whole problem! I'm so glad I don't have to return my phone! Now I can finally activate and put my Nexus away for a rainy day.

Again, Kudos to you guys for the great community you have here, and I look forward to lurking here in the future!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] AdhvanIt:
Recently received a refurb from Asurion and soft bricked it. This quickly revived the device and I was able to boot into ChameleonOS. Since then, I've also been able to boot rootbox and CM10.1 without issue.

Now for my question.. I can no longer keep any stock zvb ROM booted for longer than 3 seconds, which is not long enough to enable debugging so that I can grab a logcat. I've flashed each of the teenybins that are available for the LS970, and have had no luck. Any suggestions before I download a stock bin and start all over?

Note: only reason I'm even trying to get back to a stock ROM is to get a GPS lock since I didn't do that prior to flashing ChaOS for some reason.. :/
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
i think full stock bin might be best bet unfortunately. thats kinda weird that stock rom is crashing.. not sure ive come across that.. especially when aosp roms are working fine. im curious.. when u boot a stock rom.. what happens exactly? and are u wiping data before trying to boot up stock.. because that should be done.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] AdhvanIt:
Steps I've taken (they're always the same...):

-Wipe data (excluding /data/media)

-Flash ROM

-Reboot

It boots fine and opens to the home screen for approximately 3 seconds, then soft loops. It will again boot up and display the lock screen for <1 second before repeating this cycle.

I initially tried lifeless ZVB, followed by lifeless ICS, but read a post in that thread about the same issue. Attempted to boot stock ZVB. No go there either.

I may try enabling debugging by default and see if I can at least log it and find out what's going on. I've never seen an issue like this before, and the only difference between my old device that I broke and this one was the addition of using the teenybin. But I've now flashed all of them via LGNPST with no success...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
teenybin only writes stuff for bootloader unlock and recovery really. it doesnt help repair any other partitions. its goal is to just get u into recovery basically. a full stock zvb lgnpst bin has more partitions in it and may help. if it still fails.. then it would seem to be a messed up partition that is not included in either the full bin or teenybin. our "full bins" have like 11 partitions.. theres 37 i believe on the phone total.. so u can see all the room where lgnpst wouldnt even touch

when u say u tried stock zvb and it still failed.. stock rom zip or zvb lgnpst bin? i was assuming just the rom which is why i suggested the full bin. if the full bin still causes that issue.. then we need to look into other partitions
[Sprint LG Optimus G] AdhvanIt:
Yeah, it was just the ROM zip. I'll try out the full stock bin and let you know what happens..
[Sprint LG Optimus G] AdhvanIt:
ZVB bin wouldn't download, kept giving an error when it reached 100%. ZV9 bin worked though. :)

Thanks for the help, Prime..
[Sprint LG Optimus G] honest1212:
I have flashed the the LS970_Original_TeenyBin-AA.bin file and the phone reboots at 67%. I am able to get into fastboot mode but cant get into recovery.

when I press the vol down, pause, vol down, power button, phone goes off and after 5 seconds again goes into boot loop.

Also phone only responds if its plugged to power.

Help!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
sounds like a dead battery. i would try the altbin just to confirm.. but ya... I'm pretty sure you're phones dead. you will need to find a way to charge it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] honest1212:
Indeed it was a dead battery, kept the phone connected to charger with phone in fastboot mode and then it rebooted in recovery. Thanks for your suggestion.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] TaviRawr:
I have a slight problem. I have installed everything correctly, except there is one step that I could not do:

When I had to run the install.bat file as administrator, it would open and close in a split second and I am the only one on my computer. So technically I am an admin. I can install perfectly when just double clicking it, but once I was done with installation it said "0 files copied" but everything is installed.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
being admin and running something as admin are two different things. so if you right clicked on the .bat file then chose the "run as admin" option it wouldnt work at all?

the issue u have now is... 0 files were copied.. so that means the dll u need to use probably isnt where it needs to be.. and it isnt registered. also the cracked exe to run the program probably didnt replace the standard exe. the .bat file does all that for u when run properly.

in my first post in this thread at the bottom i have extra hidden info which also includes a 100% manual way to install everything.. you will need to locate that.. read... and apply. always read the ENTIRE first post ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] TaviRawr:
I read the entire post, my problem is like I see it and then forget that I saw it XD.

And when I run as admin, the command prompt flashes open then flashes off.

And should I just uninstall everything including LGNPST and drivers and then try to reinstall it again?

And trust me, I will read the ENTIRE post :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
no need to uninstall anything. read the last Q n A in the hidden section for manual install directions since the bat isnt working for you.

if you still have lgnpst issues.. try the IRC chan for help. This thread really isnt for discussing LGNPST... its for TeenyBin :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] TaviRawr:
I will I am sorry. I kept going into other forums and no one had any answers really.

And I need help on one more thing....since I am a n00b I have no idea how to use the Command Prompt. I mean I opened as admin but typing....ehhhhhh I kind of suck.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
How do I do this via Mac???? Is it the same steps?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
you need to run the software on a windows device. so u need to install windows in bootcamp or in a virtual machine and do everything from there.

widows only.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
I tried on my friends laptop, when it brought up the install command window, it said it was finished but nothing happened afterwards....any suggestions? Or should I just play it safe, take it in and try and have sprint replace or fix it?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Bdadd34:
if I remember right the bat file is for seting up the lgnpst for the lg og not for flashing. its been a while so please correct me if im wrong.. but I think you need to now open the lgnpst to flash the teenybin...also I couldn't get the bat file to install all the needed dll's and had to manually copy them.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
How do I do that?

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

What im saying is, lgnpst wont open after running the install.bat
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Bdadd34:
I think this post will will help you.Seems like I did have to not only copy files manually but also had to copy some code into cmd prompt to activate program properly.

Hey all. I'm a new user to this phone and to these forums, so first off I wanna say that everything is rock solid!

I seem to be stuck in a rut here. I rooted my phone and unlocked it with Freegee, and now I'm trying to flash a Teenybin for the AOSP ROMs. Every time I start the flashing process, I immediately get an error saying something like my dll file is outdated. No one else seems to have had this problem except for me and someone else, which never got answered. Any help please? Any and all responses would be greatly appreciated!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
too many variables... could be a windows issue... could be incorrect lgnpst.. or lots of other things.

you have to be 100% sure you are using the correct lgnpst version.. with the correct components version. if you had an older lgnpst or lg components installed prior.. they must be removed first. .dll files must also be properly registered.

still no go.. try another pc.. or use the virtual winXP image that has been properly setup. the virtual image has to work. :good:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:

Updated the "normal" and altbins for LS970.

Updated recovery to TWRP 2.6.0.0.

Altbin has been renamed SBL Unlock and is the recommended default bin to use.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] PartimusPrime:
Thanks!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] PartimusPrime:
Would unlocking bootloader through freegee using the sbl unlock have the same result?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
Yes, this is already mentioned in the OP.

"LS970 TeenyBin[SBL Unlock] - Equivalent to the FreeGee SBL Unlock method (FreeGee > Menu button > SBL Unlock)"

TeenyBin is used if you are softbricked. Freegee is used if you are not.

I'm using LS970 and I want to go back to stock using LGNPST but it always stuck in 4G LTE logo, so I try to use teenybin but I pick the wrong file I use teenybin for E971/3/5 file and now the phone blackout. :(

I pressed power button for 5 seconds, and it showed up with Google logo instead of LG Logo and it turned black again.. Is there a way to get the phone back normal? any suggestion? should I do battery pull method? :(
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
if it hangs at 4g logo u need to boot into stock recovery and wipe data.. then itll work.

since u flashed the wrong teenybin.. you need to flash the full stock ls970 zvb bin with lgnpst.

Im not sure if it's cause I'm new at these things but I think I need some help. I have the lg ls970. I was on cm 10.2 and wanted to just go back to stock rom (which I've done before) using lgnpst. I uninstalled lgnpst from computer and then reinstalled. Rom flashed but now I am stuck in Android Recover screen and it will not let me complete any of the actions (like factory reset) that it has available to me. I have tried to flash a few times already since I can still get into download mode. After flashing I always get back to the same "recovery" screen and cannot get out of it. Please help.

Sorry for all the noob question but what are the Modem Zip files for. It says for repair. How do i know if i need to install this also?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
You don't need to install them unless you want or have issues. ie phone doesn't do it's phone/data thing. ZVB and ZBC seem to be the same, and only work with JB, or the CM Rom's. Don't use the ZV9 modem or you'll find out why these are here. ;)

I like to install the modem about once per week or when my phone's reception sucks., which is a lot. It seems to help, (probably placebo) and it makes me feel better.
