Stuck on boot screen - Sprint LG Optimus G

Hey everyone. First post in the G forums after coming from an Optimus S. What a difference!
Anyway. I've used the ZVB stock rooted zip and have root. Using TWRP 2.6 recovery and have the bootloader unlocked. The last piece of the puzzle is a custom rom. I am trying to use REVOLT, but every time I flash it it hangs on the REVOLT boot logo. If I flash the ZVB stock rooted file back the phone works no problem. What am I doing wrong here?
edit: and now just to keep it interesting, when i go back to zvb stock the home button no longer works...

Dang bro... You try going to the irc channel #lg-optimus-g? You may be able to get quicker help there.

I'm pretty sure the answer is going to be to use LGNPST and the teeny bins.
Teeny bins create the required partition for CM based ROMs.
As for the Home button. LGNPST should fix it.
Edit. I think the zvb.bin file creates the required CM partition also.

This did the trick although I ended up going back to zvb with lifeless rom for the camera. I just made a new post about this, but my only issue with that rom is getting the file networking option working.

This is a system dump, don't try flashing this.
^^^What he said ^^^
I was pretty tired when I posted it and forgot to mention that it's for devs to build ROM from.
Can't wait! Thanks Loki!
downloading now to play around with. Will see if I can get a flashable rom off of it. A few have tried already to no avail though.

Just use these. Your phone will upgrade to it anyway. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536636
But I think for your purpose, use LGNPST with the zvc bin. You'll find the link to the bin in the root guide.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough. The stock rooted ZVC is what I'm already running (flashed from CWM with an unlocked bootloader). There's a bug where you try to charge when the phone is completely turned off, the screen turns on draining battery and preventing you from charging at full speed. I understand this could be fixed by a) flashing an AOSP-based ROM or b) if you want to use stock rooted, stick with the original bootloader/recovery. So, I'm trying to figure out if I can just flash boot.img and recovery.img on top of the stock rooted ZVC, and get the charging to work properly.
I found what I thought I needed in shelnutt's files-- he has the Sprint backup img's. But when I dd'd them over, my phone won't boot now. So I will probably have to LGNPST the whole zvc bin and start over. Oh well.

You can root your phone, but you can't flash ANY ROM unless you unlock the booloader/recovery.
If restoring FreeGee unlock didn't work for you then you need to use LGNPST to get stock recovery back. It should also fix your charging issue.

Flashed the whole ZVC bin with LGNPST, rerooted and got what I wanted. I didn't lose data or have to start from scratch like I was afraid of, and it's easy enough to unlock with freegee if I ever want to flash roms again in the future. Thanks for your help/encouragement.

[Q] Sprint LG Optimus G incorrect software

So yesterday I traded my Nexus 7 tablet for a LG Optimus G. I rooted it, unlocked bootloader using a .jar software the trader provided me. Everything went well, but since I have no internet on my old Dell running XP, I had to use other means to flash TWRP recovery. Something didn't go right and my phone was bricked. So the guy I traded with was nice enough to come all the way back to me, and give me a KDZ file he found on the internet to restore it using the KDZ Firmware Update from LG. Took me a while to work it but it fixed my phone, only issue now is the software version in Software Information is now E97310f and won't let me update. It used to be LS970 so on ZVB. All my Sprint apps are missing, each time I restart the phone it says Unfortunately software update has stopped. In general, I'm guessing this was not for a Sprint LGOG.
Any ideas on how I can return it back to normal? I plan on connecting it with Sprint and want it to have their crappy bloatware.

Nothing there could really help me. And now that I'm considered a E973, drivers are a whole different story, fastboot mode seems to no longer exist, all I can do is get into some sort of useless recovery mode. This is a nightmare. This stock version is bad in performance. I feel like the device is clocked at 1.2 instead of its meant to be 1.5. What the heck am I to do?

I'm going with that, but I have never used the LGNPST so I'm a bit stuck. I downloaded a .bin from there, grabbed the LGNPST software from a different site, and now I'm trying to figure out how to combine the two. And the recovery screen isn't like the regular "use the volume and power button" recovery, its just a white window with a two arrows making a circle type recovery that they call "Recovery Mode" and has no particular function other than to hold power for 8 seconds to reboot normally.
Okay so I figured out how to use LGNPST but I seemed to have flashed some other type of incorrect object. The bin I used made my LGOG boot up with the same fast boot and TWRP recovery as my Nexus 7 had. Aka the boot is now Google with the unlocked symbol beneath. Now when I try to flash the old incorrect KDZ file from the E97310f, no good. So my problem went from OK to just plain worse. I'm looking to find the correct teenybin necessary in order to then try to flash the ZV8's ZDK file. Now my device is really bricked with a TWRP and a locked boot loader. Isn't that sweet (sarcastically)

Also forgot to mention each time I use LGNPST the device boots at 67% leaving the rest incomplete, then shoots up to 85%. Perhaps its why the KDZ no longer works. I'm guessing using LGNPST was bad from the beginning. Should've stuck to finding the original KDZ instead.

That's just what lgnpst does. You should not be using a kdz. You should be using either zv9.bin or zvb.bin. if you're going to use Sprint. The bins are in the same place I led you to for lgnpst.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Well you were quite right in a way! Thanks! This will sound crazy, but I used the LGNPST to flash the alternative LS970 bin provided. It gave the fast boot mode, Google boot, and TWRP 2.5, unlike the last one I mentioned that wouldn't let me use the ZDK file. So what I did was I tried pulling the same trick used to push a zip file to my Nexus 7 when I accidentally wiped everything. It was a bit of a crazy stunt, but I used the Nexus 7 Toolkit 5 to push a custom ROM I downloaded here on XDA thru TWRP. I had tried before on the last bin I flashed and no good. Tried again and it actually pushed the file. From there I used TWRP to install the zip and well here I am writing this from my new ROM. The info shows LS970. The XDA app as well as you can see below. Had to reroot it using the ZV9/ZVB Universal Root as GIAO would said my device is unsupported. Not quite sure if the boot loader is unlocked though. I'll probably stop messing with this thing here before I make it any worse. Thanks alot
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
GAIO is outdated, but a least you're rooted. And unlocked too if you were able to flash a ROM. It sounds like you used a teeny bin to get going. Not zv9 or zvb.bin. You should be good to go.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Yeah it was all working perfectly, until yesterday where I turned it off last night as I've done each night since fixed, but this morning, no boot. Now no matter how many different roms I try to flash from it's SD card, or which different teenybin I flash, it won't fix the situation. Im guessing it's a security issue, although I did nothing really to provoke it. Any idea how to fix it or completely format everything including TWRP and the fastboot altogether?
Sent from my LG-LS670 using xda app-developers app
Actually, never mind...the thing randomly decided to boot after deleting some files thru TEEPee. Coincidence is that yesterday I downloaded FreeGee, it didn't detect my device as a LS970, and it left behind a file. When I recalled that thought and deleted the file, ta da. Works fine....

[Q] Unable to LGNPST my LS970 to stock.

Greetings. First off, know this isn't my first time around this merry-go-round. Jacked up my phone something good some months ago, got it working. Kept whining about needing to update the profile. Well, I locked it down hard enough that whatever app it was calling when I told it to update must've been frozen. So I did a factory reset on it.
Whoops. THAT was a mistake.
I've tried a couple different things,
Tried flashing the LS970ZV7_02.SV7_02.P25006 file onto the device.... gets to 5%, MAYBE 7%... doesn't pass it. (even after letting it attempt for ~20 minutes) ONCE it made it to the 67/85% mark, and seemed to work, but it's been quite cranky. Thinking everything was happy I put some files onto the internal storage, and attempted to switch up to CM....
On the device already, I've got the 10/5 CyanogenMod nightly files, so I wipe the device, install that.. and I can boot into CM no problem... but I don't have data or Wifi....(voice/sms seems to work though)
Attempt to flash LGLS970SPR-ZV[9 or B]-Stock files, No love.
Tried to flash LS970_TeenyBin[SBL_Unlock], works like a charm.. gives me my recovery rom, flashes within ~30 seconds.
Insult to injury, when I'm in CM, I can't get the phone to talk via ADB, but it does via recovery (have the latest ADB, installed yesterday), and when it's in TWRP, I can't seem to PUSH or SIDELOAD files of any size...
Even tried updating the LG Drivers from
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN38AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.8.1
to
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S50MAN310AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.10.1
So right now, I can get into CM after TeenyBin.... but data doesn't work, making it a very pretty feature phone.
I can't seem flash back to stock, and i've even tried the Optimus_v2 rom, it won't install via TWRP.
Anyone got any tricks I might've overlooked?
Here's a snippet of Logcat when trying to use Wifi on CM. Keeping in mind that other devices can associate, and this very device could when it was briefly stock as well. My searches for what those reasons/status codes might mean have come up for naught though.

It seems that you might not have installed the ZVB/ZVC modem. I had a hard time following your post. Sorry.
In the FAQ is the number to the modem in CM. I can't remember it off hand. In stock it's 1690
The modems are in the teeny bin thread.
Try that, then either flash teeny bins again, or use the zvb/zvc bins.
Zvb/zvc bins might be your best option. If you can wipe in TWRP prior to LGNPST you'll save your SD. If you wipe after, or in stock recovery you'll lose SD.

Yup. ZV7, ZV9, and ZVB/ZVC, have their own modems. To run JB we have to run the ZVB/ZVC modem.
I saw that he flashed back to zv7, but nothing about successfully flashing ZVB/ZVC. That's why I'm thinking its a modem issue.

Sounds like you're doing too much at once.
Just LGNPST ZVC or ZVB. That will give you a base to work from.
Then do your mods.

I would LOVE to... that's one of the problems. I was able to successfully LGNPST once, and now it's getting hung up between 5-7% (when not using Teenybin
and holy hell... you're my new hero... put in the ZVC Radio...and at the very least i've got Wifi working again under CM...That alone gives me a leg-up over the other problems.
Any links for figuring out how to get the JB ADB to authenticate (since that doesn't seem to have happened)?

I wonder if your partitions got messed up? I think those Ting apn's might be getting in the way also.
LGFlashtool might be an option to use.
As far as ADB, check the drivers, reboot both phone and computer, and see if that helps.

[Q] LS970 not being recognized by LGNPST

Hello all,
This is my first post here but I will do my best to give as much detail so that you can help me with ease.
Sooo, I have an LS970 and I attempted to flash the ROM and well.... I messed up and (for some dumb reason) didn't make a backup. So I'm stuck at the LG logo. I can't get into recovery mode or anything except Download Mode.
Soooo, I tried using LGNPST as described in the following thread: [REPAIR] TeenyBin for LS970 - Soft Brick Fix. B/L Unlock. RPM/TZ Update {08/21/13}
But the download links for the TeenyBin wouldn't work. So I just downloaded the stock .bin files.
Now, I tried running LGNPST and getting to it recognize my phone and nothing shows up.
I have registered the .dll files, I have installed LGNPST through This thread here
Any suggestions? I really like my LS970 and hate being stuck with a damned iPhone....

Hello all,
This is my first post here but I will do my best to give as much detail so that you can help me with ease.
Sooo, I have an LS970 and I attempted to flash the ROM and well.... I messed up and (for some dumb reason) didn't make a backup. So I'm stuck at the LG logo. I can't get into recovery mode or anything except Download Mode.
Soooo, I tried using LGNPST as described in the following thread: [REPAIR] TeenyBin for LS970 - Soft Brick Fix. B/L Unlock. RPM/TZ Update {08/21/13}
But the download links for the TeenyBin wouldn't work. So I just downloaded the stock .bin files.
Now, I tried running LGNPST and getting to it recognize my phone and nothing shows up.
I have registered the .dll files, I have installed LGNPST through This thread here
Any suggestions? I really like my LS970 and hate being stuck with a damned iPhone....

Another option is to hope on the irc, there is an autoinstall of LGNPST
You might need to uninstall and reinstall drivers and LGNPST.
Which .bin are you using? Use zvb, or zvc.

I am using the Sprint LS970 ZV9 Stock .bin file provided at pastebin.com/0KK0QynV
I tried using IRC but couldn't get anything rolling.
I guess I don't know as much as I thought. LGNPST was downloaded the link listed above.

You can find links to the bin files in the root guide, and the irc.
Your problem is probably the radio/modem. ZV9 radio only works on ZV9 Roms. You have JB. If you had recovery you could just flash the radio.

So what .bin file should I use? and I finally got LGNPST to recognize my phone. So I just want your suggestion on what .bin file to use before I give this thing a whirl.

ZVC is the most current. You can find it in here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35520144

[ROM]ZVC Stock Rooted ROM Flashable Zip

This is a Plain Stock ODEXED Rooted ZVC ROM. It has Root and Qualcom app removed. If you need the ZVC radio, get it from HERE
Must have unlocked bootloader.
In TWRP, factory reset, then wipe /system, /cache, /dalvic, and /data. (Do not wipe internal data, /data/media - that's your SD.)
When it boots up, turn off Wifi. For some reason it always turns itself on when first booted up.
Then go to Settings>System Updates and update Profile, PRL.
Then Settings>Activate this device.
____________________________________________________________________________
New March 2 2014
New ZVC with all LG markings, kernel also. Only difference is it's rooted. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO UPDATE, unless you want to. With this, if you re-lock and then remove root, you will have a factory looking phone.
It is also zipaligned
New Download
Here's the Stock LG flashable kernel. All LG Markings

Thanks for this! I've been having endless problems getting ANYTHING to bring my device past a bootload screen or recovery. This managed to get through successfully and load (no data, but phone calls were OK) However it would constantly reboot anytime I altered settings. This, I believe is due to whatever issue it is I am having with the phone, and not this ROM. I was just pleased to find a original stock rom and actually see an OS on my phone (however brief it may have been)
I should also mention I had to sideload this as it was the only method available in my current situation. After a reboot it hung on the LG screen for a solid 20 minutes or so before moving onto the Sprint 4GLTE and then Android itself.
This upload at least gave me hope that no other rom had yet to achieve (that my phone's emmc or internal memory is just fried?!
Either way. Thanks again for your efforts
Link isn't working. Anyway you can post or mirror link that works?

I can, but by the time I do, it'll probably be fixed. The link is good, just the mirrors are goofy ATM. Give it some time, and in the meantime I'll upload to Devhost.

Mirror in OP.
MD5's will be different between the Androidfilehost and the DevHost. I think I just cleaned up the updater script on the Dev Host version.
Disregard the above post. Files are the same now. Had to reupload to fix issue.
Is this Deodexed or Odexed? Which ROM is more stock: ZVC_Deodexed_V2 or this? I want full stock rooted without having to hook up phone to computer.

Odexed. The short and sweet..Odexed Roms are like from the factory. Deodexed is for theming. Neither one needs to hook to your computer. Odexed Roms are harder to modify/theme. Hope that helps you decide.

I'm running ZVC_Deodexed_V2 and it seems to lag on app start up and seem slower to boot up phone.

An unmodified, deodexed, ROM will boot up slower. Not quite sure on this part, but, it has something to do with how Deodexed isn't cached like odex, so it makes it a little slower.
If you're looking for the most stock experience, odexed will run like factory.

My anal-ness made me do this. And thanks to Shabbypenguin and xboxfanj, I got what I wanted.
What is different in this version is the kernel is straight from the ROM. So this Rom will have ALL the markings of stock. Kernel included. If you install this, relock your phone and un-root, it'll look like factory.
Also added is a flashable zip for the LG Stock Kernel. All LG Markings.
When I get time, I'll update the Deodexed version.
EDIT. You DO NOT have to use this if you downloaded a prior one. Unless you want to.
EDIT2. I forgot to mention, I did zipalign this version
Another, and the main reason I made this, is that this would be like a simple version of LGNPST. IT WILL NOT REPLACE LGNPST. But it may help to fix simpler problems.
For instance:
Flash ZVC modem in OP
While still in recovery flash ROM
Voila! ZVC ALMOST like LGNPST
You the man bro!

Just to be clear so you'll become unrooted if you flash this Rom

No. You'll still have root and you'll still be unlocked. You have to be both to flash it.
This'll just return everything to a bone stock rooted/unlocked phone.

Well I learned a lesson just now on how I should really step out of original dev thread more often and check this one out. I literally just finished lgnpst -_-. But my problem isn't fixed so I'm downloading anyway. Great job, this is needed more than people may realize.
