Hey all, I was wondering if anyone could provide me with any help with my phone. Earlier this week, I woke up to shut off the alarm on my phone but was seeing a bunch of google processes failing. After about a minute of hitting okay, I finally managed to turn off my alarm. It was at that point that I decided to reboot my phone only to see the Demigod Kernel Crash screen and I haven't been able to boot up since then. I went into recovery mode to see if I could just flash another ROM but it's unable to mount the sd card. "Alright," I thought "I'll just use LGNPST again (I've used it before) and restore it that way." Well, it fails early in the beginning, earlier than it's "supposed to." Something about a Masterbin error. I've tried redownloading everything, drivers, lgnpst, .bins, but I keep getting that same bin error. Someone in the irc suggested a virtual box but that gave me a headache just trying to figure that out. So my question is am I left with any options other than sending it in to have someone jtag it? Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you try wiping everything? SD included.
Did you uninstall, then reinstall LGNPST.
Last option I have is try LGFlashTool. It has is own thread in Development.

Yeah, I wiped everything after LGNPST didn't work for me. I'll try reinstalling it one more time and, if that fails, I'll use the LG Flash Tool. Thanks for your reply; will report back if it works.
The LG flash tool is (I believe) what sprint repair techs use to fix any software issues. It resets every position taking it back to 'out of the box' including hands free activation

That may be what I need seeing as how the error I see whenever I try to use LGNPST says it fails to write partition during the Masterbin download. Unfortunately, the link I found in the LG Flash Tool thread is down. I asked the OP there to rehost it but he hasn't replied yet.
Urgh, this past week without a phone has been tough.
Umm... I have it but it would take a while to upload since I have no Internet besides usb tether

okay im following the unbricking guide in the General forum. i have an at&t p930. had cwm and flashed a rom but didnt format /system. thus i bricked my phone, boot loop galore. i have all the necessary files. everything with v10f goes great and when the phone reboots i get the pink LG Optimus LTE boot screen. only problem is that it freezes there, the candy cane loader stops moving and it just chills there forever... please please please help me get this thing going. its a company phone and i have no option but to fix it myself.
I am right there with you-absolutely nothing under the sun has worked. Finally got the updater to work and am stuck on the Optimus LTE screen just like you...even tried two computers, tried doing the .kdz about 12 times now, reboot, etc...stuck
ya im freaking out. i have to fix it. its not my phone, its my companies haha
Did you flash the V10f or the V10i? The only v10f I could find was a small file...well much smaller than the i. I've tried flashing the v10i about 15 times now with no luck...it obviously flashes as the boot logo shows up but thats where it stops.
Also when I get it to go into recovery it has the open box and arrow with the android guy and stays on that screen for about 10 seconds before it goes onto the LTE screen where it stalls.
Does that help anyone?
same thing for me exactly. my v10f file was like 400 mb, my v10i was 350ish. ive tried em both, neither work. same thing for me when i go into recovery as well. on the thread for debricking the last poster said he found the correct v10f file and will upload it tonight, maybe itll work being that the hotfile server or whatever Manillion used doesnt work.

The SU640 ROM will not work on the Nitro HD, much the Nitro HD ROM will not work on a SU640. I found this out earlier this evening.
Might you be able to share a link to the appropriate kdz then? I think we've exhausted the resources currently available especially considering megaupload is dead. May the schwartz be with you...
The V10i_00.kdz is 482,617,504 bytes
MD5 is: 12962DBC591D354D2E35FB3EA84AC032
Make sure you got this one.
That's the size of the one I have...not sure what the MD5 is but I believe it to be the right one.
ya it worked! i used the v10i rather than the v10f. worked first try. im in cwm restoring from nandroid as we speak thanks vano

as they always say, "another satisfied customer". LOL!
If the v10i is rootable now, I'll just update my guide with a link to download the .kdz directly from LG (I'd been having trouble reuploading the v10f .kdz anyway because my internet connection is flaky). What I'm gathering from all this craziness is that there may be bad .kdz's floating around because the unbrick method I used has eventually worked for pretty much everyone, albeit with some teeth pulling for a few people :s. Either that or people are flashing the phone wrong, but I'll give you guys the benefit of the doubt lol. I'll be updating the guide with screenshots provided by [email protected] in a bit.

Awesome man glad to hear it...I'm still stuck on the Optimus LTE screen...tried even more times to flash it and still not working
---------- Post added at 05:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 AM ----------
Is there anyway to format whatever might be on my phone? As in do whatever I can to start as fresh as possible?
The best way to reformat everything and start over is to just reflash the .kdz from download mode. But since I know you've probably done that a couple times, it's possible your .kdz is corrupted.

sorry i am a little new to forums. yes my phone is rooted and i dont believe i downloaded a custom recovery partiton. to be honest im not to sure what that is... thanks for trying to help buddy.
Ok... By your answers then I know you kinda screwed, but not quite dead... what happens exactly is that you removed the main launcher, the interface between you and the device... if you say that it reboots, not much we can do here be cause we may push a launcher APK to /system/app (generally, there is where the "system apps" are located) and see if phone lives again, but as it is rebooting not sure if it can be done... Have critical info in the phone? If not, you can restore it to factory state!
Here is a external guide to restore the device back to factory state: http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-downgrade-lg-optimus-c-back-to-stock.html
Additionally, you can check some other info in this post (not quite your case but sometimes other problems have some clues to resolve main problem): http://www.cricketusers.com/cricket...tboot-mode-started-udc_start-3.html#post12007

Damn, no fastboot mode (at least you can't boot into it)...
Anyways, there is nothing worst than haven't tried at all... Do you have the Android SDK installed? Check http://developer.android.com and install the SDK; also download a custom recovery from here: http://unleashedprepaids.com/media/MS690/recovery.img... Once done that, remove battery from phone, replace it, in a command prompt (or terminal if using Linux), write this command "adb shell", just write it, don't press enter yet. Connect the phone to the PC and turn the phone on, while booting, press enter to the command and follow the guide here: http://playfuldroidz.com/wiki/index.php?title=CM74OC#How_to_Install_ClockworkMod_Recovery: as fast as you can (copy/paste preferably)... if everything went well, now you have a custom recovery and you can backup the mess the phone is at right now (BACKUP, really, do it)... download and install any new custom rom and you are good to go...
Let me know how it went...
thanks so much havent tried yet but that route sounds like it might work. i am a little confused in some areas but after i read it over and over i will comprehend it a little more. i will follow step by step and let you know how it turned out. again thanks buddy. you brought some light into this dark matter.
The worst case scenario is using the KDZ updater.You can google all info on that

Never heard of that before. From what I gather when someone has to inject their imei due to having no backup, they will sometimes have also lost some carrier specific nvitem data. The app used to fix it is the one peoplearmy created. You make a new qcn backup, then his program will 'fix' it by adding this info. (You have to choose your carrier and it does the rest). Then you restore this fixed qcn.
If that factory mode command works it's probably setting it to a state where it'll work w/o that info. But I would assume that you'd have to 're-enter the command every time you flash a Rom or wipe data.
That's just based on my speculation as to what the command you posted does.

Oh, ok, I gotcha now. Didnt realize that was also an issue. I imagine it is a separate problem from 4G not working after an IMEI restore. Just a guess though. If I am remembering right, I think the method I just sent coco worked for the op though.
@coco
Do you have the box with yellow text displayed on your screen? If you do, it wont go away by pressing your ususal buttons. But try that command from Aerowinder in Terminal Emulator.
If its just the 4G that isnt working, follow the directions I just sent you.
Could you pls PM me the fix as well DocHoliday? Thanks in advance

It seems to see the phone, and all, but when it goes to download the firmware from LG, it just hangs, reading the posts there, looks like others have it hang at the same place mine did...
I think I am just SOL, till someone figures out how to make a tool that will fix this...
I am sure I am not the only one that will accidently wipe everything leaving it in a state where you don't have a rom to flash back on it...
so I am sure someone will make something soon...
till then will just have to go back to my old phone.
Thanks.
I would assume you need to try to get fastboot working, but I have never tried to get into the G2's bootloader. But you'll get ADB - Fastboot working, you will, you just need to keep trying. Try someone else's computer if you have to.

You should be able to, as long as you can get adb to see it, you are good, you can even just adb push a rom over to the "NON" SDCard... and then just flash from TWRP...
The main problem we have is that without a SDCard that you can take out and put a rom on, we are stuck.

you have to extract the megalock.dll from its archive and overwrite the existing one in the LG flash tool directory. Then launch the program.

Just read the info in the links - thanks for posting about your success. Good to know there's a way out if I get into the same situation flashing a ROM on my G2.
Hey guys, so the problem is as follows....
I rooted my T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 and installed Titanium Backup to delete bloatware apps. Now I've done this process countless times on other android phones in which I BACKUP first then start deleting apps. The problem is that this time I accidently forgot to do the backup and went straight into uninstalling apps. I didn't do many, most likely around 5-6. No problems were detected till i restarted my phone and noticed my lock screen. The clock and personal message had disappeared. Everything else is fine, just no sign of clock and personal message, the highlighted box is there but there is nothing there. My pattern lock and lock screen background picture is there just the clock and personal message is gone. Any suggestions?? It can be anywhere from downloading a apk file to restore the change to restoring the phone completely, thanks in advance.

If your not too far along, which by your post I'm assuming your not, prob best just to start over fresh. You might be able to find the right apk but the time involved in tracking it down then getting it is the trade off.
also maybe you've done this / know about it, just a suggestion...use the freeze option before deleting, if I'm getting rid of something I make a back-up or get the full stock so I have it on hand, then just freeze stuff for a couple days before deleting. Found it's saved me lots of headaches from this type of thing. Then if somethings messed up just unfreeze.
Good Luck

By start fresh you mean factory restoring my phone? And/or flashing stock rom? Thanks for the reply btw, you are correct, im not that far off
I think he means using Odin to flash the stock image. You can get it from sammobile.com.

oh alright thanks, i will try it out and post back the result here.
Thanks guys, I used Factory Reset first to clear all the data followed by flashing the stock image using Odin and that seems to have solved my problem, thanks once again.
