I have a LG Nitro HD, which I unbricked, rooted, etc, and upgraded to Cyanogenmod 10.1. Worked great, I ended up giving it to my friend. He gave it back to me the other day because his brother accidentally did a factory reset and it "DOESNT WORK" as he put it. So i tried doing setup manager and stuff and whenever i clicked a button, it froze and rebooted. I reflashed CM10.1, same thing. Flashed to PARANOIDANDROID, same thing. On the lockscreen, everything is fine. I can touch the screen and pull down notification center without any issue, but as soon as i unlock it and touch the screen, it locks up and reboots. It seems like it's allergic to my touch....any help would be greatly appreciated as he wants to sell it.
Thanks!

Maybe going through the unbrick process again will fix the problem.

Don't I have to go back to stock to do that? Because I've tried, and the LG Support Software won't see the phone.

Did you put the phone in download mode 1st? Start with the phone powered off. Plug the lg supplied USB cable into the computer. Then hold down vol up and plug the USB cable into the phone. As long as the lg drivers are installed the lg support software will see it

We're you able to get through the unbricking process?
If not, you can try and emergency restore by clicking on the Help button and changing your region or recovery mode.

Also yeah I tried the 2945 code but it doesn't work in Cyanogenmod10, and after some digging, I found that it's best to unlock on the stock ROM anyways.

Try taking out your sim, I'm assuming its a GSM model, and if that works set everything up on wifi and put it back in. I've seen locked sim cards before. You might have to get another one from your provider

The device you bought was SIM-locked to a carrier. Where did you buy it from? If they said it was unlocked, then they need to provide you the code. Otherwise, you can get around it by using this or this.

Most Galaxy Nexus devices are sold SIM-unlocked. However, there are some, like yours, that are sold SIM-locked. If they are sold SIM-locked, you need a code to allow it to work on carriers OTHER than the one the device was locked to (which someone already entered in your phone before you bought it). Once the code is entered, it will work exactly like a SIM-unlocked device until such time when you either do a factory reset or flash a different ROM. When that happens, you will need to re-enter the code OR use one of the methods I linked to above.

You don't need root or anything for the toolkit. Also, if you don't ask it to root your phone, it won't. It's. Pretty straightforward process. Just pick the one that combines the download stock image from Google to flash it and whatnot.

The OP's issue is that he has a SIM lock, and he needs it unlocked. A toolkit is not going to help him with that. The links I posted will.
And I never recommend using toolkits for anything -- you may end up having issues.

The Freegee app now includes support for the LG Optimus G Pro. While the bootloader is not unlocked per-say we do have a working exploit in loki thanks to drjbliss's work. I've take loki and reworked it into cwm (twrp support coming soon). This means that rom devs and kernel makers no longer have to "lokify" their images, it's done after flashing in recovery. Freegee also offers the possibility to disable lge security (wallpaper) on the stock rom.
Instructions
Please note: this requires root before you can install this! If you haven't rooted your phone yet, now is the time to do so.
There is a free and donation version of Freegee on the market. Both are exactly identical and always will be, except in the name.
Make sure the version is 1.1.0 or greater! You will brick if freegee is less than 1.1.0!
You can download the free app here and the donation app here.
When you run the app you can click on "Unlock my phone" to start the unlock process. It will ask you if you want to disable lge security or not. Please note to disable the lge security it's dependent on your sw version. If you are not supported, upload the boot.img through the app and I'll add you to the white list.

FAQ
Can I flash an OTA after installing a custom recovery?
No for two reasons. 1) You need stock recovery to apply the delta updates. 2) It's possible in a future update for the bootloader to be updated and loki patched or for loki to need to be reworked. Just don't try it.
Does this mean I can flash custom ROMs now?
Yes. However, the custom ROM must be made for your device. You don't have to worry if the rom or kernel has been lokified because these recoveries do it for you!
How can I uninstall this?
Click the "Restore with backups" button
Can I upload my backups?
Yes the application has built-in dropbox support. Access it through the settings menu.
Where is the source for you loki-fied recoveries?

That is correct. After you install a zip or use side load the boot and recovery partitions are checked and then lokified if needed automatically. So a kernel maker no longer needs to release desperate downloads just due to Loki. You can disable the check for Loki in the advanced options menu but there really is no need to unless a new unlocked boot loader is brought up.

Ruh roh. I downloaded this. Backed up my EFS (wasn't sure if that was necessary or not though I imagine that's where the IMEI is stored in case that is somehow wiped), the clicked unlock. It downloaded some files and installed CWM and said everything was successful. Now when I reboot I get "Secure booting failed. Cause: Device Unlocked" or something. It then flashes the LG logo again and then the AT&T animation plays and the Home LED button flashes forever. It will not boot and I can't use any button combo to get to recovery. What did I do wrong and do I have to LGNPST back to stock again?
I was rooted and nothing else. No custom recovery. Also, I chose to disable LGE Security when prompted? Any ideas?
Purchased the donate version. Thank you, so much!! :good:

I just posted about this right before you. Best bet is to wait until @Shelnutt2 gets back online. Unless of course you'd rather just LGNPST back to stock. Myself, I'd rather try to fix it first since I literally just set my phone back up after a softbrick just about 2 weeks ago.
Edit: Flashed to stock with flash tools. Oh well, I'm used to it by now, haha. I probably messed up by trying to 2 button into recovery. I read a few comments now about using a program to boot to recovery. I don't know if 2 keying into recovery trips some sort of flag that causes it to not boot correctly. If that is the case, then let this comment server as a warning to others.
Thanks for the program anyways.
awesome job on making this app, but im gonna hold off on trying it for now. im on at&t but seeing alot of people talking about how they bricked, plus i just sold my laptop so right now aint nobody got time for that. but i will do it soon. cant waite for a way to get the second init recovery off here without flashing back to stock and to boot twrp with a button combo. still a great phone and i see awesome stuff coming to it soon....
Very strange how this is messing up some phones, when I was testing for shelnutt2 everything went fine on my phone. I did the security unlock as well and I seen it flashing with success and rebooted fine. Is anyone using this getting the phone to boot up normally?

First things first. Questions should be posted in Q /A . Now that we've got that out of the way. What version of CWM are you using ? Is it the latest ? Did your Battery have at least a 50% charge before you tried Flashing something ? I know they say 30%. But I like to be on the safe side. Where did you get the Rom you Flashed ? Link to the thread please.

There is an old thread all about recovering from flashing a i9300 rom
[HOW TO] Unbrick your Sprint phone from flashing an International gsm boot image
Maybe that could help you out?

Energy HD is for the international s3 i9300. Those roms will hard brick your phone because the partition layouts are completely different from that of the US S3s. So when you install it stuff gets installed to the wrong place. The partition we use for our Boot loader is the partition where the i9300 has its kernel so it would wipe your bootloader flashing a i9300 rom

Well let me just start with the bad news, energy is an international ROM not meant to be on our phones. What does this mean to you? Your bootloader is destroyed(oh s*it) but they're is still hope for that shiny paperweight. There's two options at this point. One is located here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369125
in order to do this method you mush have no less than a class 10 sdcard AND it must be the same size as your internal memory. I.e my phone is the 16 gig model so I need a 16g class 10
Your second option takes a professional(or some expensive toys) but is a sure fire bet to get your s3 back up and running again. What you need to do is find a JTAG service. Look on craigslist and whatnot to see if a small game store around you does them. If not there's a few good mail in services online just pop out the SD and send it in. This method however is going to be around 70$
best of luck man hope this info helps.

Only problem I see with this is you would have to do this mediately after flashing. If you turn that bad boy off its officially a paperweight and you can't even get into DL mode

This method worked I can't thank you enough for this, right now i'm writing the new system image and will most likely do a video on how to. my experience with Linux this close to none but this was painless.

Let me reiterate, read EVERYTHING you must follow this 100% exact for this to work.
What happens when you flash an international zip is you format the bootloader. I think Samsung did this to confuse people on purpose because between u.s. and international the partitions for bootloader and kernel are swapped. So an inter. Zip wipes our Bootloader partition and tried to put your kernel there. The debrick image simply allows you to boot your download mode from your SD card instead of from the phone. From there you can return stock and restore the proper partitions.

Can we get a screen shot of your "About device page... expecially the baseband and kernel versions... build also if possible.
Can someone let us know if the update fixes the stupid screen rotation bug when you turn off auto-brightness. Also, if there is a noticeable change in overall snapiness. Thanks!

See Dr. Ketan and his thread regarding the bootloader on 4.3.....g
Will you be able to go back to 4.1.2 if you take this update?

I rooted using this method while still on 4.1.2 and it worked flawlessly.
I then paid for and installed SuperSU Pro and activated "Survival Mode"
Lastly, after the OTA update was COMPLETELY finished, I followed this simple procedure to get root back again.
SuperSU disables Knox for you on 4.3 which is also nice. I should have qualified here that I am COMPLETELY stock other than root. I have not "frozen" any apps., deleted any Samsung provided files, etc. and I have stock bootloader and stock recovery. This will likely NOT work if you have done any of those things.
Is there a flashable version of this? If not, can somebody make one? Thanks.
I'm running a custom rom and rollouts/updates from vendors freak me out because I don't trust not one of them. Knowing AT&T they have thrown in some bit of encryption that locks the bootloader. I understand this might not be the case this time but I do know none of them can be trusted.
Now if you excuse me, I'm 1/2 done with 1984 the book and my tin foil hat is making me itch.
Guys I need help I am stuck, I am using unlock att with tmobile, I check software update but it days interrupted, and I even tried with kies but it's not connecting at all, I tried 2 pcs.... Any help... What to do to update it... Please

The update has only been out for a few hours and we are asking for .zip files already ??
Sheesh...
Give the devs some time to pull it apart and clean it up...unless you would like Knox and a bootloader lock ??

I have a few questions for you and/or those more in the know:
If I were to do this same thing, would I be able to flash a custom recovery (like TWRP) and/or flash custom ROM's/Kernels like I can already do now? One of my main concerns is that the stock kernel doesn't support Boeffla Sound, and that really makes for better audio on this device...might as well take full advantage of that Wolfson DAC...
I have to admit, it would be nice to be able to use pure AT&T stock, but rooted, as a base...this is why I loved the old CleanROM AT&T SE so much...
TIA for any guidance you can give on this.
Side note: after ODIN'ing back to 4.1.2 MA4, it says I have a 741MB update I can take....I'm sure that's this 4.3 update...Culpeper, VA here.

I did the same as marchusdavis but it resulted in a total disaster. After I downloaded the OTA update from AT&T I restarted my phone and it installed through CWM-Touch. At the end it asked if I wanted to ensure root was maintained and of course I said "yes" there (as well as through my SuperSU Pro Survival Mode). When it booted, my WiFi no longer works AND I lost root.
If anyway has any advice on how to get to a stock 4.3 from here please let me know!
Ugh, having trouble updating atm.
Goes up to 30%, then my phone reboots and says
"The update was interrupted" or something like that
On stock 4.1.2 rooted with stock recovery if anyone can help.

I don't believe so, as I am completely stock, bootloader and all. If you want to install other ROMs, you'd need to use a different method I believe. Likely downloading this update either via Kies or something else, and use ODIN to do everything. If you search around a bit on XDA, you'll probably find someone who has done it successfully and posted how. While I like custom ROMs, I have not had a need to use one yet on this device. However, if Samsung doesn't eventually give us Air Command, that might be enough to make me try it!
Is it possible to get the official update from the leak or do I have to downgrade to 4.1.2? I tried updating from the leak but it said it's the latest version.
