I'm assuming you LGNPST'd back to a stock 4.0.2 LG AT&T ICS ROM? If so your SIM may have gotten damaged. Go to any official (maybe authorized is a better choice, lol) and get a new one. They wont care what you done to your phone and it's free. They'll even check to see that its picks up. Should fix it for you. I don't think a factory reset/full wipe will help but you.could give it a try.

Ok, now for my "issue". Check the pic but does this happen to all our LGOG's once we unlock the boatloader and then root it? I think this may be an issue that affects the durability of the screens seeing as it's plugged in charging and has the background light glowing the full time it's plugged in. Anyone?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] redbullyourmx:
hmm

I went to a authorized dealer and since they were busy the woman there gave me a few sim cards I had them activated and no response. I double checked that they were working in another phone. When I got to view wireless networks they are all empty, should I maybe clear the cache and/or try to manually fill in the connection properties? Is it possible that I have a hardware problem? Maybe unroot and mail it for warranty? It originally bricked because I disabled (not removed) some LG bloat ware on reboot.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] WarEagleUS:
Well that's the point I'm making. That bit of light and energy generates a small amount of heat so that over time, say 8 hours, that builds up. Of course many wife's phone cracked but it's superficial and she never had it unlocked until she have me hers and went back get SGS2.

Regarding the phone a new SIM card would invalidate needing a PUK code because that's for SIMs that have been blocked from entering the wrong security code if you pinlock your SIM card as a security measure. The fact that a brand new SIM card isn't working has me worried. If it's still within a certain time frame tell att support and they may ship you another phone. Notice I said another phone and not a new one because it'll more than likely be a refurbished unit.

Lockscreen won't change.

I'm rooted but not running any third-party ROM or anything. My lockscreen refuses to change from my gallery.

Here's what I've tried:

- changing the lockscreen from the system built-in LG lockscreen wallpapers (WHICH WORKED UNTIL NEXT STEP)

- changing the lockscreen back from there to another picture from my gallery (DIDN'T WORK)

- clearing data and cache from gallery (DIDN'T WORK)

As of now, I went from a lockscreen picture of my girlfriend to a lockscreen picture of the white pebbles, and it won't change from there, no matter how many restarts or anything else that I've tried. Using the stock gallery, if that makes any difference. I'd really appreciate the help, I can't find anything on the matter anywhere.

It is not listed as required in OP of Avatar ROM, but it may be that you need to update to 4.1 partitions.

I know this is very noobish but just to clarify.

Q-slide and lg apps only work on stock roms?

Currently using Slick Rom, I have tried a few other stock Roms but still keep coming back to Slick.

But have been waiting for the new update :angel: and it just does not seem to be coming :( and

the flashing urge is getting :eek: well we all know how that is.

Actually everything with the LGOG has been so smooth that i haven't been looking for that one

Rom to use. Slick was the first one i flashed after i got the phone in June and will most likely use

it as my DD. Just like to see what is out there.

Also is there anything i need to remember if i take the jump to a non stock based Rom is there any issues going back an forth?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] acervenky:
Yes You Are Right,Q-Slide And LG Apps Require Stock Framework.

And You Should Not Face Any Problems,You Can Slick Rom As Your DD ;)

There Are No Issues Going Back And Forth,Take A Backup If You Think That You Will Need To Restock Later.

I recently got this phone got it rooted and flashed EG8 rom. I did a nandroid backup in cwm so I could flash root box. Problem is when I tried to restore my back up it says file not found, what the heck am I missing here?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
When updating from stock to an AOSP ROM it changes the location of the internal sdcard. It moves all you old files to a new /0 folder in the internal. You have to use a file manager to manually move the clockworkmod folder to the root of the internal SD card. Or move the folder to you external SD card and select restore from external in CWMR.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Unless you formatted your storage when you flashed it should be somewhere. Look in sdcard0/data for a subfolder for clockwork. I always use the backup to external option so it ends up on my SD.

My E970 is running stock 4.0.4 ROM, rooted and unlocked. I tried to update my phone to stock 4.1.2 Rom for E970 both way by LGNPST (failed - IMEI null) and by flash stock 4.1.2.zip with JB radio (failed too). After upgrade, the phone lost IMEI (IMEI null) and crashed after a few minutes running (blue screen system crashed).

What should I do now? Some guys on other forum told me to borrow and restore other E970 phone's EFS backup file. Please help!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Great_Scott:
Multiple Image Soft Brick?

So, I messed up. I installed the Sprint images instead of the ATT one. Which, oddly, worked fine apart from having no WiFi or cell data.

Once I realized what happened, I downloaded the correct image (cm-10.2-20130916-UNOFFICIAL-e970.zip), loaded it into the phone's local flash, pulled the SDHC card out, and rebooted into TWRP 2.5.0.0. Nice!

Wiped all caches, and then installed. Rebooted... to a black screen. The e970 image either isn't booting or can't show an image, it's hard to tell which. I get the LG logo for about 1 second followed by... nothing.

The good news: I can still reach TWRP, and I still can charge the phone.

Does anyone have any advice for how to either 1) get the e970 image to boot, or 2) download a factory image for the ATT Optimus G? I've got a full backup on local flash (in theory), but TWRP can't seem to find it...

New findings:

1) Sprint image still boots fine, and

2) The Sprint image no longer seems to allow USB<->PC access.

EDIT: Thanks a ton, UnrealRogue. I ended up installing a different .zip, the most recent nightly. Worked fine except for USB PC access. I still don't know what was wrong with the August image, might have just been a corrupted download.

I think downgrade your phone back to stock 4.0.4 ROM by using LGNPST will work. It will restores your phone back to original AT&T.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Unrealrogue:
Yes, please.

After reach 100% install complete by LGNPST, my phone reset and boot successful, but there is no signal at all, then i check the phone identify, the IMEI and IMEI SV are null, after a few minutes, the phone crash into blue screen. I have no choice but turn back to 4.0.4 again.

I also tried with flash the stock 4.1.2 zip file and radio JB but the result is the same, phone still have none IMEI and crashing. Recovery 4.0.4 IMEI is useless too.

I think that it was my fault in the first time, flashed the wrong radio when try to upgrade my phone to 4.3 in the past.

Now i just need to reach stock 4.1.2 >_< rather than nothing.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bobafx:
hey everyone. I need some ideas.Recently I decided to upgrade to 4.3 just to give it a try and decided that I was just going to stay with 4.2.2. My problem is now that my phone will no connect to my computer at all, I have tried on both my laptop and desktop and no luck. I tried to put my phone in download mode as well to lgnpst to a stock rom, but my phone still would not be detected on my computers. Thanks for your help ahead of time.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Great_Scott:
bobafx, I have an idea. It's possible that we need a new driver so that Windows can connect. I've googled this problem extensively, and I haven't come up with anything yet regarding USB drivers for Cyanogenmod based mods. It's also possible that this is just a bug with the newest ROMs.

Fun fact, I couldn't even find the connection option until I did a Internet search; It's under Option->Storage->(use the context button). Why is this essential function buried there? It should be the pulldown menu with WiFi and Brightness. I'm wondering if being missing from quick settings is a symptom.

EDIT: This seems to be happening to people more or less randomly, and re-installing the ROM seems to be an intermittent solution. I think it might have to do with performing the ROM install when connected to a PC (in my case, as a constant source of power just in case). I'm going to try re-flashing while disconnected and see if this resolves the issue.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bobafx:
i never leave it plugged in when i install a custom rom. i have a feeling it is the way the internal was partition for 4.3 and doesn't work well with the 4.2.2

Edit: after running out of options i figure i'll just send the phone to LG. the process takes awhile and they don't give you a status update. Finally got the phone back and they just replaced the receptacle/ IO receptor. so i have a fully functioning phone again

someone has got to try them?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I've had a negative experience with a non-Samsung battery - nowhere near rated capacity, overheating. If it were me, I wouldn't use anything other than genuine Samsung batteries (& haven't other than that one occasion & I returned the battery/got a refund), tho YMMV obviously.

thanks for your contribution, also expect other opinions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
Not reliable, most of the time is a piece of garbage, in one of my experience if the battery goes down completely, it won't recharge if you didn't plug it in within a short time (I am speaking minutes).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlo201983:
therefore recommended only original batteries samsung? 2000mah but it costs a money pit
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:

I have the Samsung 2000 mah, worth every dollar. Brilliant extension of battery life, had it nearly a year and still going strong. Dont bother if your phone is riddled with wakelocks etc, you're better off getting rid of those vs. buying a bigger battery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlo201983:
But you guys, but do you think the batteries samsung where they are produced? read read ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
What does where they're manufactured have to do with anything - you do realise why they're produced in those places ? (Relatively cheap labour/closer to supply chain).

It's the quality of the manufacture, materials & quality control you're paying for when you buy a genuine battery. And non-genuine batteries are often hit & miss for those reasons.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlo201983:
I fall from the clouds to hear certain things, or more precisely that in many delude themselves that the original samsung batteries are different from those no-brand ...

are all equal in my opinion.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
If you're basing that on personal experience with non - Samsung batteries, I'd be inclined to think you got lucky. More often than not a non genuine battery will be significantly less than claimed capacity, vs Samsung ones which are very close to claimed capacities. I don't bother unless it's genuine now.

Already this is better as a response, the world's manufacturers of batteries can be counted on your fingers, many times non-original batteries can be IDENTICAL ..

in china we know how good they are to do everything
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
Well FYI buddy I am talking from experience(multiple times) and I am pretty sure MistahBungle is also talking after having several experiences with non-original batteries.

As he said non-original batteries are hit and miss deals.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
To suggest all/many/most non-genuine batteries are of the same quality/reliability/at or close to rated capacity compared to genuine batteries is a blanket statement which isn't grounded in fact. Read threads on here/elsewhere & the real world experience is this:-

*99% of people who buy genuine batteries find them to perform exactly as they'd expect (be reliable/durable, able to hold a charge, not overheat, at or near rated capacity), the other 1% (should) get refunds or exchanges.

*Anything up to 30-40% of people who buy non-genuine batteries seem to have issues with them at some point, whether it's right off the bat (as soon as they start using them) or within a reasonable period of time after buying them.

The rub is, if you buy a genuine battery, you know exactly what you're getting almost all of the time, and you can easily get a refund or replacement if you don't get that. If you buy a no-name from little E big B/elsewhere, you may not be able to do that easily. Yes, the battery might perform as you'd expect a genuine battery to (tho very very few end up at the rated capacity on the outside of the battery, I.E rated 3500mAH, you're lucky if you get 2800), but there's a not unsubstantial chance it won't. Which means you have to go thru hassles to get it replace/refunded, and you don't have a spare battery or whatever in the meantime.

So that makes the question, do you want to take that risk ? Me (and lots of other people - you did ask for opinions after all), I'd rather pay the extra $15-$20 & buy a genuine battery (or two or more), or even the extended power pack if you really need a lot of juice & can't get near a power source to recharge (If that was something you did a lot, a 3rd party power 'brick' from a reputable company is worth exploring, as would a solar charger if you spend time outdoors/away from mains power).
