Ok unfortunately I decided to root my LG and obviously thats was my first mistake. I was reading xda about how to root my LG Optimus G. Well i found a thread that talked me through it but I decided to take the short and download freegee from the playstore. And needless to say in the middle of it backing up someone decided they felt the need to call me. I didnt answer the call but it went back to downloading the recovery. When it finished it said it couldnt find the files. Long story short my phone worked for 2 days before it decided that it was gonna be deactivated and i no longer use my phone unless its on wifi. I talked to sprint the tech told that basically everything is gone and the biggest part thats missing is the radio and if i could recovery that or flash a new one then I have buy a new phone. Can anyone please please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :crying:

It sounds like you still have stock recovery. You'll need to use LGNPST. All the info and links are here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43983721

Agreed just lgnpst and start back from beginning ....I think u may have corrupted ya efs ... If ya phone only works on WiFi try to re activate it .... If it fails to activate then u will most likely need to visit the efs repair /recover thread....

Choose Dload Mode/Reboot/Fastboot
Vol. up: Dload Mode
Vol. down: Reboot
Power: Fastboot
If I choose Dload Mode pls do following
1 . Dload Mode. Pls connect USB
2. Get tha ram dump image using QCT's memory debug app
3. Send email to contact point or [email protected]
Which bin file did you use? Zv9? Or ZVB? The demigod thing is nothing. Just reboot. If you can get into recovery, do a factory reset. You might lose everything tho.

I think it was the Zv9 bin file. I just tried pressing the vol. down to reboot but instead it decided that vol. up was pressed and it jumped to Dload Mode. How do i get out of it or stop it.

Press and hold the power button for 20+sec. Next press vol down+power until the capacitive lights come on then release them. That should bring up stock recovery. Do a factory reset. You'll use the capacitive menu key to select.

Go to recovery. Still do the factory reset. Are you sure you used zv9? If that doesn't work, in the teeny bin thread download the original one. If you can also put a ROM on your SD and flash it.

And where can I find a ROM and how would i get it flashed on my SD? Im sorry Ive never done this before. I think thats obvious, but thanks for your help and everyone else help.

Install LGNPST and download either ZV9 or ZVB bin. And run it.
This should get you up and running. It includes the modem also.
Edit. Zvb is the most current. But we can make either bin work.

Hey All. I just got this problem today, my phone keeps shutting off randomly and then it will get stuck at booting up and will constantly make the sound it makes while booting up. I just tried reflashing to stock via odin following thisTutorial and i got it to restore to stock but it got stuck at the samsung logo after the T-mobile logo. After that it keeps doing the same to me as before restoring to stock. I can't get into recovery on it or download mode.
Could be stuck or bad power button try cleaning in and around the button.

When you restored from Odin did you do a factory reset? If you didn't it will stay on the Samsung logo.

Did you turn off the phone and hold volume up + volume down + power until the phone vibrates and then let go of power button?

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

I have an annoying boot process where just hitting the power button just gives me a blank screen and no boot but if I shut down by hitting the power and volume button and restart, it will boot......Whats up with this "double boot" process and is there an easy fix? I notice that "secure boot" is enabled on the fastboot menu....does that have something to do with it? Any help is appreciated.

If you flash with LGNPST then go into the factory recovery by holding vol-down and power together, then do a factory reset. might solve your problems but you will lose everything on the sd card (sounds like you might have already) but after that you can root and unlock. someone correct me if i'm wrong, i only used LGNPST once

won't let you get into download mode holding both vol buttons and pluggin in usb? weird. If it lets you get into twrp, go to advanced and use the file manager to see if the backup was moved to '/sdcard0/0/twrp/whatever' because if you flash aosp then it does some weird emulation and moves **** all over

Are you making sure the phone is completely off by holding the power button for 60+ seconds then trying? A few seconds of the power button won't shut it off all the way. Unplug it and holds power for a good full minute then try download mode

LGNPST will wipe all partitions except /data which is why they say to do a factory reset in Stock recovery. After that you can use engines root guide to root and unlock and install twrp again

i ll do that now then ,
again re-iterating that
lgnpst couldn't flash completely , it didnt finish
so if at all i go back to stock recovery and it doesnt help , then what will i do ?
EDIT : BTW the /data folder is also empty
If your phone reboots at either 67 or 85% I believe it's finished. If flashing with LGNPST doesn't work I'm working on uploading the LG flash tool which will wipe and flash back to out of the box clean to the point you have to reactivate it on sprint network lol

If that it doesn't boot up, you may have to wipe sd also. / data/media

LGNPST rarely wipes SD. It will also keep your data. That's why we have to wipe to get it to boot up. Factory reset in stock recovery will wipe SD, and everything.

Hey, guys. I just got bricked my phone and I can not find any solution. My vol + buttno seems not to be working and the vol- button is working from time to time. The phone was with CM 12 Lillipop and I git update but I didn't like it. So I did not wiped everything before to flash it back with the original ROM (CM12) so I got bootloop of android logo. Is there any way to put it into recovery mode or something without vol + /I could make vol- to work somehow/? Please, I heed help!
Can you go to fast boot? (Vol up plus power) if yes then flash SOLID KERNEL V1.6 GPROJ through fastboot... It might work, else flash a stock kdz

No, it's just volume up is not working anymore. Volume down works sometimes though.
Thank you anyway. If there's other way...
Come on guys, I am begging you. If someone know a tool or something to fix my phone, I would be very thankful...

Bro calm down! Just download tools and flash stock kdz
First hold both volume down buttons and connect your phone to PC with cable while holding both volume buttons. Does download mode appear? If it does then flashing stock kdz will get your phone back!

As I said before, my volume buttons are not working properly. That's the reason I made this thread- to find out if I can save my phone or not. I already tried flashing with kdz, but I can not boot the phone in any mode but bootloop CM lollipop logo. Also I can not install MTP on PC as it seems to be the problem when I tried with adb command prompt.
So, is there any other way except repair service for the volume buttons?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using XDA Free mobile app
Aah I got your problem. You have bootloader unlocked? To flash kdz you need a locked bootloader. Try locking it somehow (kinda impossible if you can't boot :/ ). Once you flash stock recovery and lock bootloader then you'll be able to flash kdz! I think you need to go to repair shop to fix buttons

By the way, I did installed a custom recovery via FreeGee. Since then when I reboot the phone, it shows Google and a locked locker at the bottom. It could mean locked bootloader, right? Also I have backup and all the files i need in there, but the problem is I can not reach them. Tomorrow I am going to talk to the service. I hope there's a hope
Anyway, thank you again, @MZ_
If anyone else has something in mind, please - I am opened for suggestions
Well yes it means a locked bootloader. If you could go to fastboot you could try fastboot oem unlock command. As the mako boot loader is nexus based ... Just a thought. Can you get a temp fix your vol up button? Any hard thing which presses button? :/

locked or unlocked BL has nothing to do with the download mode. You have to take your device to download mode using some commands from PC. search for this. I think this sould work: adb reboot download

Dude he can't connect with ADB! Please readout the post first! He is in a softbricked state. He has recovery but his keys are damaged. I think the bootloader is locked that's why it isn't booting up (maybe) ... Or the ROM is damaged. Anyways he can't do anything till he fixes both the volume buttons!

Yeah, @MZ_. I am not able to do anything like this. I tried adb, but it said no device found. I took the phone to the service today so I am waiting for respond. Once again, thank you all for the suggestions. ROM is not corrupted. It is cm 12 working perfect, but when I updated it there was lots of lagg. So I did the mistake just to wipe cache and dalvik before to reflash the original ROM. So that's how I got bricked my phone. So now I am gonna wait hopefully for good ):

Well, it can't be bricked like that btw, and yeah! You need to fix your buttons in order to continue. Else use a hard thing to press them tightly so it work! Sorry
Press THANKS if I helped
Guys, I have news. The service fixed the buttons so now works like charm. So back to the business-can I do a full wipe then install the rom or I have to use kdz or so? I mean it boots into download and recovery mode.
Thanks.

I flashes stock with kdz then I did reboot into recovery. Then I just wiped everything, flashed back cm12 with gapps and now it works perfect.
