Okay, so I have all my files in place and followed the instructions to a T.. except one part. I had to add the Optimus G into the config file, which then requires a manifest(?). This file is an XML and I have no idea how to even begin creating one for the LGOG. I've looked all over Google for answers, but nothing.
The Rookie ROM building tutorial seems to give a manifest of sorts, but that isn't working.
I'm pretty sure that after this one issue is resolved, I can build Firefox OS for the Optimus G succesfully.
Thanks for any help I can get and I hope to start building soon!
Here's the link to the manifest for the Nexus 4 that's already in the Git Repo, this one works, but not for the LGOG

Yup, tried a battery pull to no avail.
The only response I get is if I hold the power button (with or without any combination of the volume keys).
That gets me a brief red flash of the LED.

Give it a day or so plugged in. Sometimes, the power is just too low to do anything and it'll come back.

I can get Qhsusb_dload to show up from time to time on my PC when it connects. but I went to try and flash the Slim Rom from the original android section and it bricked my phone. no screen light up or anything. no LED flashing. i just get Qhsusb_dload when i connect to a PC.
What tricks can i do to get odin to see this.

You need an attitude check. This was posted in Q&A, he had a question and needs help. If this was posted in the wrong forum, I could MAYBE see this kind of attitude but not here. You were helpful in giving him a link to get his device repaired, but the rest of it was just uncalled for.

I did research and no one gave a straight answer anywhere. i googled countless places. a lot of them said to do these button combinations and none worked. some say the only way to do it is through a jig. as you say Jtag. i do everything the way i usually do it by reading the posts before flashing.. idk what went wrong here.

As far as I know, he is right about JTAG being your only repair option. This may sound like an obvious question, but I have seen this happen before. Are you sure you were downloading from the right forum? (i.e. not accidentally downloading a ROM meant for another carrier.)
I'm kind of curious how this happens. Never heard of bricking from simply flashing a rom.

If rom is for another carrier or the international version of the S3 (i believe the I9300) then it'll brick it quick.
I thought the i9300 is the sprint version. i had looked it up... but oh well. I did more research i missed one step which may have caused it, or my download corrupted. But my next option is to find someone with a Jtag in my area.

Sprint is the SPH-L710. So yeah.. may have flashed the wrong rom.. Always double check.. and if your in doubt.. ASK! lol
Use a jig. Will boot up into download mode. You need to use Odin and flash stock. Qbking video is really helpful. Good luck.

Yup you flashed the wrong ROM. I had this happen on my Evo 3D, I don't remember which ROM it was but someone had linked to it from the CDMA forum and I took their word for it being a CDMA ROM. It was GSM. Fortunately I was still able to load hboot and loaded clockwork mod via fast boot. I'm sure you've tried going into download mode or recovery a hundred times by now, but one hundred and one wouldn't hurt. Make sure you are pressing the right buttons in the right combination and letting go at the right time. Honestly I think the SIII is a pain to get into D/L or recovery mode. It always takes me a few tries. If you can do that, you won't need to JTAG it. Good luck!

Wrong forum.
But since its already here, did you boot into download mode and can't get out of it or does it automatically boot into download mode?

i can put it into download mode. if i just try to boot normally, it flashes the LG logo for a split second and then then screen goes black. backlight on but black.
I am assuming you will have to get LGNPST and put the software back on the phone.
You will need to go to IRC(google freenode irc) and type in #Lg-optimus-g and you can get LGNPST from there.

I'm growing increasingly more disappointed with Android's volume control.. it seems like most of the levels are pretty okay, but once you get towards the middle there's a point where it goes from too quiet to too loud.
How can I solve this issue? More specifically, how can I increase the control I have over my volume output?
You could try Volumizer from the Play Store.

It's been a LONG time since I've seen the exact code for it, so it would take some searching
Basically, each time you press the VolUp/VolDown buttons, it goes up by a certain amount, right? This tweak let's you change that to make it smaller, and therefore easier to select the right volume level
So instead of going by steps of 14 units, for example, you can change it to steps of 10, 8, etc

Unfortunately that method is a bit old and the resources referenced are no longer consistent with the process.
Turns out the method I posted is for HTC One only. Just figured that out. Dammit.
Here is another volume mod thread,, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42631958
Sent from my HD2 using xda app-developers app
All three methods posted are exactly the same.
But the "safer, updated" version seems like it is for another device, because we do not have any of those roms and that mod was made specifically for each those roms' frameworks.
The thread I posted says he can make it for all, he even has one made for an S3 CM 10.1 rom already. He says all he needs is you're framework.jar. ROM just needs to be deodexed.

ZVB is 4.1.2. If your phone updated to zvb then you were on zv9. And you should update to zvb before root and unlock.
1000's have used FreeGee and not had issues since zvb came out in March.
I just used FreeGee again yesterday to unlock ZVC, so it works just fine.
On phone now, but give me a minute and I'll post a couple links here.
