Got my sprint LGOG yesterday and took one picture, camera worked. I then rooted the phone and unlocked it. Today went to take a picture and the phone froze then got a screen that said DemiGod crash handler with 3 different options. Anyone else ever get this. I've tried it 3 times now and still crashing.

Which version of Freegee did you use? .03 has bug. .05 or the one from the Play store work great.

So are you still having the problem with the bootloader unlocked?
You ought to give Lifeless, or Imperium a shot. Obviously I've been assuming you were on stock ROM.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Yes, stock rom. Tried unlocking again, again with team win recovery. Same problem. I'll try cwm later. And your suggestions.

If you just got your phone, make sure you update it to ZV8 before unlocking.
Your not by chance using sk8erswill' kernel? His causes it also.

Got it all straighten out. Updated to ZV9 then used engine95's guide with fiddy619's steps to root ZV9, then back to freegee to unlock. Everything is running great. Absolutely love the battery life on this thing. Now to figure out how to get rid of some of the bloatware.

LGNPST. Look in the teeny bin thread. Under additional info.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Yes go to your phones settings then you go to backup and reset although the back up only backs up apps,videos,pictures and contacts if you don't use a sim card if you use a sim card but didn't transfer onto it but transferred to the phone you will have to click on contacts menu then choose import contacts to sim I have done this with my phone to do the same thing as you did

I'm pretty sure you'll need to do a Factory reset. Then it should boot up. You can get into recovery... right?

I have been having a lot of problems getting stuck at boot when flashing and restoring due to data corruption issues many seem to be having. After Reading this thread I decided to do a full internal data wipe in twrp then power down before using lgnpst to flash back to unrooted/unlocked stk jb 4.1.2..And it worked perfect with no need to factery reset after flash....rebooted at 67% ran to 85% and told me phone disconnected reconnect to finish but the phone was already booted and running fine....cant say it will work for your phone but thought it might help.

There's a couple of ways.
To get as fresh as possible, LGNPST ZVB. It has recovery built in. And kind of rooted.
The other option, if you have recovery, flash the ZVB stock or deodexed ROMS.

If I flash a backup back to stock, will I have to do anything special? Or will I just be rooted and unlocked on a stock ROM? Will I still be able to use Epics camera mod? Etc.

If you made a backup of a custom stock ROM, like Optimus, Nexogen, etc., you'll be fine. Nothing to worry about.

You'll be fine with that too. As long as it's JB. ZVB/ZVC. Just make sure you wipe the 4 in Advanced.

Before. So if you go back and forth between. CM, AOKP, Stock, etc make sure you wipe everything but internal SD. And use TWRP 2.5.0.0 in my opinion.

@engine95 one last question bro...I keep hearing different things but I'll ask you O Wise LGOG Guru.. If I backed up my EFS before I flashed a custom ROM and that was the ONLY backed up EFS, I would be fine flashing that back up now since I'm on the original ROM it was backed up from.. Right?

I'm not the guru. I just get lucky. As for EFS... autoprime has that area.
But from what I know, and from what I've done.... you should be just fine. I've done it even on nexogen, and OpTimuS with no problems.
People are modding their phone so much to get kk to run it , that it's creating alot if problems IMHO.

Yup.
If everything on your phone is as it was when you created your EFS backups, you'll have no problems.
Be just be aware that even that backup may not save our butts. As we all know these phones can be picky.

LGNPST is the only other way.
FreeGee's files should be in root of your SD under freegee. If you backed them up to your computer or cloud, just copy it back to root.
The problem was that stupid 0 folder. I moved the files from the 0 folder to the other freegee folder at the root of my storage and voila..."your efs has been restored up"

Thanks brother,i'm about to gut this thing and see what i can do with it over the holidays.I guess i'll start with breaking down the boot.img then.
It's been a couple months, so I don't recall all the specifics, but I've picked apart the ramdisk more than once, and I'm sure the LG splash is nowhere to be found in the boot.img. I think the conclusion I came to is that it's somewhere in the bootloader (mmcblk0p3 if I recall correctly).
