Rooted my Optimus G and uninstalled Google Books and Google Music and when I rebooted I'm greeted with the LG Security Error screen. Tried the factory reset but that doesn't fix it. Am I screwed or can it be fixed? If so, how?
Thanks

I googled your problem. It looks like LG is rather dickish about debloating.
You might have to wait until some brick fix via ODIN is out

Maybe its possible for you to re-install the .apk's using push from adb...
download & install latest usb driver
download & insatall LG Mobile Support Tool
remove the battery from the phone
while pressing volume down button connect the usb cable and wait (about 10 seconds) in this mobe until SW upgarde is displayed on the phone
insert the battery back
perform a SW update via LG Mobile Support Tool
I don't have the optimus G but this helped me with other lg phone ; maybe will help you also
If the above metod don't work they are also other metods to try

My guess is uninstalled with root explorer because when he factory reset it should of repushed them if they were still on the system.
Yeah, I uninstalled them. I also tried the LG Mobile Support Tool, all a no go. Sucks, I really like the phone, more so than my Galaxy S3. Just have to be patient and hope a someone finds a solution.

Go to AT&T and replace it lol still got 14 days
Can you access adb?
Couldn't access adb either after this happened, could before. I did solve the problem although I feel a little guilty how I did it since I know it is totally my fault. I returned it, said I was using the LG update software on my desktop and said it got half through the update and our power went out and it wouldn't boot after that. If the earlier post hadn't reminded me that AT&T no longer has a 30 return I would have waited it out in hopes of a solution, but I'm going on a business trip and won't be back before the 14 days are up. Thanks for all the help and ideas, this time I'll just remove the AT&T crap and not any Google stuff.
I have everything just frozen and no issue for me just dont remove anything as it might cause Software issues

if it was me I'd unscrew the back and take it out as long as it is not marked by a sticker or something it shouldn't void the warranty
read thoroughly " I WOULD DO IT" it's not a suggestion for anyone to do it, I'm just saying what's on my mind
I can verify that freezing, with TB, certain DRM-related apps will cause this problem too.
Sprint doesn't have the images from LG required to restore the device yet, and the guy at the store tried to take it apart to get the battery out so now all the glue is unstuck from the back glass and it's squeaky. I'm waiting on a replacement from them now. :-|

From what I saw of the Sprint guy's efforts they filled the thing with glue. I guess that's why it feels so solid
Another victim of this problem here. Any help would be appreciated. I was able to get to recovery menu from the phone, but not much can be done in there at this point.

Again, if you've ever modified Android phones before, you would know this, and that's why if you don't know what you're doing, you should wait for a kernel that supports nandroid, or figure out if there is a program to go back to stock (I'm used to Samsung phones, we have a tool called Odin that will let you restore the phone completely to stock, bootloaders and all, not sure if there's an equivalent for lg). Factory reset resets the data partition, it is not meant to restore system, where is it supposed to restore the files you changed from? I'm really not trying to bash here, but again, if you don't know what you're doing, don't do it, or at least own up to your mistakes rather than blaming google

before i modified the file, i want to make sure i can go back to stock so i opened "LG Mobile software updater" and click on "phone recovery" then it gave me a screen that said "this will erase all users data. Continue?" so i assumed i can flash back! after i modified the file, now this freaking "LG mobile software updater" said Model not supporting S/W Update. WTF??

Aah I see... Yeah I don't have any experience with the LG Mobile Software updater, but I understand why you thought you could revert to stock. You said no ADB and the phone wont boot at all? Hrm sounds like you might be screwed until someone comes up with a CWM Recovery kernel or something, or until we find the LG equivalent of Odin. Not that I advocate this but does the screen do anything other than bootloop? If not, you could probably get away with going to ATT and tell them that that happened overnight? They'll probably exchange it for you, I'll do some digging for an LG recovery program though.

my phone is not dead yet. it just stuck at booting screen and keep rebooting.
i can wait for LG to release a new firmware or ICS firmware then flash it.
or lg can just put the current stock rom there so i can reflash it!
I like lg's hardware. I had optimus 3d and now have optimus g. Both has great hardware.
I have flashed custom roms since windows mobile days, so i should have a little experience..!
But you can never be sure to flash safely especially with Lg. You can loose your imei, baseband...etc
And now i have kernel crash on my loved optimus g... A demogod kernel crash. I can boot in cwm but cant restore system. It restore boot and then system restoring fails. I can also boot in android and after a few seconds it crashes. So it doesnt stay long enough to be fx recognized by pc to save it. Pc doesnt recognize it even in download mode. I will also try with another pc.
You dont have such problems with htc or samsung. The problems with these phones arent so complicated like lg.
SO NEVER AN LG AGAIN...

You can't blame LG for a mishandeling YOU made.
I had HTC's and Samsung in the past, they all present a "bricking" potential if you start to fool around with Kernel, custom rom, etc.
Now, you should try to restore it back to stock to see if it fixes your issues.

Yes, I've read your post: You've flashed a custom rom and now get a kernel error.
Go back to stock in download mode using KDZ updater and you should be ok.
Follow this guide to the letter:

And, as I already told, LG can't be blame for anything other than running stock. Even if you only root the device and crash it, you can't blame em for this.

Rooted and unlocked with a custom bootloader is not stock. You can have a lot of issue with the wrong bootloader. I once did!
Get it back to stock with the KDZ, you'll know if it's a software issue and if it's related to the custom/unlocking/rooting.

What are you saying, is this a question? Who are you replying to?
This topic is not about update, it's about a bugus kernel. Don't mix things up please!
Finally... I figured it out. I have used the old KDZ updater and after tons of try, i did it. But again as i said no more LG... Maybe we should stick with a phone that has a sd slot. : )
A sum of what i did
1- find a stock rom from http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=20
2-Get old KDZ updater i have uploded and remove zip from the name
3-In KDZ updater choose 3GQCT and i think it was cs emergency, i am not sure and choose your kdz file and finally launch software update
4-Connect your phone in download mode to pc. KDZ updater has kicked the phone out of download mode and couldnt find the phone. Just try again and connect phone again while it extracts kdz file. You could also try different usb ports as i did.
Thats all.

Can't blame on lg. I see a ip***e fired, my s2 baseband fu***d, all companies made there best. Maybe it's about damaged/dropped phone.
aren't threads/guides on rooting, flashing custom roms/kernels had warned you about a potential bricked device? sometimes it pays to understand/accept what we read.
Dont blame our root or unlocking methods. One day after unlock and root, my battery drain in 4 hours. I even cant flash custom android 4.2.2 ROM.Even twrp doesnt work, appears a black screen. One day i uninstalled NFC apk. And thats it. Everything go back to normal. I dont know why Android 4.2 ROMS dont work on my device in that time, but the battery problem was NFC.
Just sharing an experience.

Ok, so I rooted my Optimus G Pro the other day and everything seemed to be going smoothly. Just yesterday it decided it wanted to reboot (it didn't give me a choice) and it sent me to TWR mode. I tried everything I could think of in there to recover or reboot and I just kept getting sent back there. I eventually ended up in CWM recovery but nothing will run properly.
I was able to get into Download mode but I can't figure out how to get further than this.

First of all have you tried a Hard Reset? Perhaps some LG driver or software failed to install on a reboot and may be corrupted. If it is corrupted a simple reboot will not work. You must Hard Reset.
If that does not work:
Is it still under Warranty? I would take it back if I was you. If not take it to a shop to fix. Sorry but it is so.
I say this because you are not even rooted so the chances of being a hardware issue are much higher if the Hard Reset did not work. Perhaps a wire/connector got loose?
Good luck.
