Something happened to my phone while it was in my pocket tonight, I pulled it out after work and it's on the CWM main screen it tried to install some update zips that failed and now I can't reboot my phone, so it's pretty screwed up right now.
I can't seem to mount USB storage so it appears on my laptop, I figured if I could do that it would be as simple as flashing a new ROM but it doesn't seem to work.
Any help is appreciated, I will be watching the thread since I need this phone to work as I use it as my primary line.
I seem to have ADB access and my 3 backup files from FreeGee, they are aboot-sprint-backup, boot-sprint-backup and recovery-sprint-backup. Are those what I need to use to restore my phone and where do I flash each image to?
Do you have a ROM on your SD currently and have you wiped system.

No I've never flashed a rom yet on my phone, was waiting for a more polished CM10.1. I've also wiped everything I can, system, davlik, cache, battery stats, fixed permissions.
What may have happened, and I'm not sure how it ended up into recovery mode, was I had the system update notification popping up and I kept hitting install later. Now some how my phone just unlocks itself and accepts and installs the update?! I have no idea, this phone quite literally has a mind of its own. It does complex operations with no one inputting commands.
Lgnpst might be the way to go. Hit up the irc.
Edit: don't leave your phone in recovery too long. You might hard brick.

I actually just found the side load a zip on the menu so I'm gonna try that as soon as I get a rom downloaded.
Edit: Sideload had no effect, I sideloaded the ZVB Stock Rooted Rom and it still only reboots into CWM.
The guys over at the irc are way smarter than I am. Head over there. They'll fix you up.

The issue is the reboot to recovery flag is set in your misc.
Run these commands from an adb shell to clear it:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc of=/data/media/misc-bad-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc bs=1 count=1088

In the dev section there is a tutorial on how to restore a phone from soft brick. I realize you're not actually soft bricked, but it has instructions about sideloading zip files to recovery. Might help you.

If you're using TWRP you can go to advanced>adb sideload and use the 'adb sideload <filename>' command to push a ROM to the phone which will then automatically install. That way you can avoid losing root.

I did resolve it.
My phone just sometimes needs to be reconnected to a power source and the drivers read.
Then the phone will magically work after LGNPST
Oh well. Back to development now so I can brick my phone again.

Hi,
I rooted LGOG LS970 using fiddy619's tool here on xda. I rooted successfully but was not able to enable DIAG mode using command line commands; So I unlocked its bootloader using GAIO V1.5 and then I installed custom recovery from it and after successful completion DIAG enabling commands got working. Then I extracted its MSL and unlock code using CDMAWorkshoptool; I used that code to enter into DIAG mode service code security and it worked perfectly; I got very happy to get MSL so easily. Everything was working fine until I restarted phone; and from there onwards first it booted with LG start-up music but screen was blank even after few minute while I waited. So I restarted it and it went to blank screen again after showing LG logo when I restarted it; So I restarted again this time it shown Fastboot screen where details were visible but options was not visible later on came to know they were there but was out of screen area. So I randomly selected voulume Up and Down and tried combinations using power button it restarted several times and then at one time I got into Clockworkmode. Then GAIO was able to detect phone till then so I did 'Restore Unlock Stock boot.img' in hope to make it work again but nothing changed. I tried mounting /sdcard in CWM but it gives error 'Error mounting /sdcard!'. CWM version is 6.0.1.5. I can access sdcard using ADB commands and I tried to copy .zip ROM file to it using push command and file copied successfully but when I list files using ls in ADB shell it shows nothing in sdcard. I'm also not able to recognize why CWM is not able to mount /sdcard while I am able to access it in ADB shell. I can't flash new ROM too because it doesn't have ROM file on SdCard and I am not able to put .zip Rom on sdcard though ADB or special ADB sideload method of CWM. When I execute 'adb sideload LS970ZV7.zip' it shows adb command help list. Adb version is 1.0.29 and I checked that it supports ADB sideload. I know it is kind of soft-bricked. But I am able to use CWM and Fastboot but I cannot use Fastboot commands from my windows command prompt; it says waiting for device on every command.
When I mount '/system' in CWM; GAIO v1.5 recognizes the phone and says Root Status- Rooted and Device Unlocked: Locked. Windows detects the mobile and installs drivers. I tried formatting /sdcard from CWM but it gives error. I have attached screenshots of GAIO and windows detected devices of phonen and adb commands. The software information screenshots were taken before it got soft-bricked.
If anyone have any idea how to recover from this state..?
The problem is with jellybean you must use the freegee the app to unlock because if new boot.IMG. here is a flash able zip. Adv push it and flash it and you should be good.

Hi, Thanks
I never did a flash of boot.img and after a brick I am very skeptical to do anything more. One more guy funkym0nk3y told to use Lgnpst to restore it. I am trying to find safest way coz I dont want to make it more worse. I am reading more on freegee flashing.
Shelnutt2 is the one who made freegee so it's probably not going to cause you any problems.

Leave it in recovery to charge, although you should be able to boot into the ROM. You might just want to lgnpst if you keep having trouble.

Hi, Thank you for that.
It was restarting continuously after showing LG boot animation so I left it to charge on charger.
And after sometime connected it to PC usb to check and restarted it and it booted into OS..
So now its working properly and it got like factory reset as It was showing first time guide layovers but still its rooted as DIAG is enabled already and SuperSu is installed.
But I think I messed internal SD card structure its showing folders I never seen before and my old data files are gone I know it mu\ight be cause of kinda reset but new file structure looks odd to me but I will format internal card. Still I am very happy that it got working now...
Thank you very much for help.
Hey fellow LG Optimus G users. Late last month I recently purchased the LGOG on Sprint and came here to seek a root guided. I didn't know that LG locks the bootloader on their devices. I came here, found root guides for 4.0.1 ZV9, 4.1.2 ZVB, AIO, Universal root and to be honest, the rooting portion was fairly simple, but its's unlocking/flashing where I have an issue.
I'm on my third phone. The first phone(unaware of it needing an unlock) I rooted and unlocked using the Universal method and tried to flash a ROM and bricked my phone. THe second time I used AIO root/unlock and my phone still messed up. Here I am once again and I really want to have my phone rooted and unlocked correctly so I can flash Paranoid Android(I like the hybrid ability it offers) but I am too skeptical about it now as I don't want to be out of a phone again. As far as Rooting goes, I feel I can just as easily use the universal method and gain root, but with unlocking, what do I have to do if the AIO way isn't correct for 4.1.2 ZVB? I'm not the best at using ADB and commands lines of the sort but if there is an alternative please help me out. Do I need a different tool? Is it availible on Google Play or is it all on PC?
Look over the guides again.
Use fiddy619 Universal root.
Download FreeGee from the Playstore to unlock.

Just unlocked my phone(went and bought the app to support shelnutt). Turned off the phone and then boot back up a clean boot, no error messages. I actually face palmed at how simple this turned out to be. Thanks guys :good:, glad to be apart of a helpful community. I'll play around in TWRP for a while to check its feats.
Edit: Now that my phone is rooted AND unlocked, am I able to remove the bloat apps without issue? I believe this caused my phone to have issues the first go round.
Hack and flash away til your hearts content.
Make sure you backup EFS, and make a TWRP backup and save them to your computer in case your SD gets wiped.

Phone not booting up. PL HELP !
Hello guys !
I have done something terrible and phone is not booting up part recovery now.
I had rooted the phone with one-click universal method without any hasstles and then try to reboot into bootloader by pressing VolDown+Power button.
Eventually ended up rebooting in original android recovery. I tried rebooting with option in that but it was not responding.
While trying it out, I mistakenly wiped cache partition.
Now NO MATTER WHAT COMBINATION I TRY, phone doesn't boot up past the recovery.
Please help me sort out this mess. I need to sell the phone.
I wipe my cache partition all the time. I am rooted but still locked (I don't think that will last much longer). Anyways, in the android recovery with jelly bean, I found that you no longer use the power button for selecting or confirming. It's now done using the menu button below your screen (on the right) . At least that's how it works for my phone.

When I power on the phone I get the LG logo and from there it goes straight to the "fastboot mode" screen, but I can't access the menus. I can also get the backlight screen, but when I connect it to the PC it doesn't recognize the device. I can also access "download mode" on the phone. Please forgive me if I'm not giving a lot of detail. This is my first root ever.
So you can get into fastboot? Did you unlock also? If so, press volume down twice then power. That should get you into recovery.

what engine95 said. Worst case, LGNPST back to stock, and try again. there is a modified ZVB bin floating around that makes you unlocked, and once you boot into recovery, will root you. its the easiest root/unlock ive ever seen. good luck!
remember, the IRC channel is FULL of great help.

ive had 4 softbricks today from trying various things...one involved 20 mins of panicked button pushing. keep both volume buttons held down and press the power button for long periods of time then waiting a min or so to see if it comes up to download. Hopefully you will eventually time it right and see the blessed download screen...from there get teenybin's bin file for whatever version you have and use that...its a godsend

Just rooted/s-off my device and decided to factory reset it to start using it for regular usage. I accidentally clicked erase internal storage in tmrp recovery and deleted the whole os on the phone as well. Is there any way to side load a rom with recovery to get the phone to boot up again or is my phone practically a brick till a RUU is released. I have the tmobile version.
Please Help!!
You can adb push a ROM then flash it or fastboot flash a rom directly from you computer.

adb devices shows my device and sideload next to it. Next I do
Adb sideload rom_name.zip.
it hits 100% and the phone says sideload failed. Dunno what im doing wrong

i don't know why it would be failing at 100%...check to see if it copied, and if it didn't then try to fastboot flash it
I would just adb push. Much more reliable.

Care to share how thats done? i just want to get this phone working again lol
adb push romfilename.zip /sdcard/
It will look like it's hanging for about 5-10 mins. Then it will give a confirmation with bytes sent

I fastboot flashed the GPE Rom onto my T-Mobile M8...there's no stock RUU yet so this will have to do.

Alright I got it up and running bro. I appreciate it. Apprently the rom i was sideloading was the problem and failed to install when I tried installing it. ARHD is installing as I'm typing this. Thanks again.
Np. For future reference you cannot flash a rom using fastboot.
