Dodged a bullet yesterday. FreeGee unlock, chose TWRP and then went to flash stock v9 odex. Wiped Cache/Dalvick and then flashed. Upon reboot I saw LG screen then black and nothing. Tried to LGPNST from download mode with LG driver and could not detect phone. After messing around in TWRP for about 2 hours where I performed about every function available (just before throwing the phone into the fireplace), I queued the z9 odex twice let TWRP flash it twice and everything worked. Here's the thing, my wife's phone is incessantly prompting to update, so I need to flash her phone. Should I use clockwork? Anyway to avoid a similar issue and near total bricking of her phone?
Same thing using Clockwork on wife's phone. Now I'm trying everything to get it back. Still have recovery, but unable to complete system reboot. Black screen. Used to flash evo all the time, never an issue. Now I'm 0 for 2 with a miraculous boot and update on my phone. This one doesn't look like I'm going to get as lucky. CWM is a bigger pain too. Frustrated. Not looking forward to lgpnst (still not sure how it all works) and then trying this mess again.
I had a similar problem to yours last night to. Except I didn't really do anything to it. It was just sitting there charging and I took it off the charger and it was doing some kind of boot loop, But every so often it would just stop on a black screen. I lgnpst about six times back but after running root and freegee I would try to get into bootloader and it would do it again. Eventually I tried doing freegee with clockwork instead and it did it again, Than I forced the phone off and pluged it in to my computer to get ready to lgnpst again so I could at least use the phone. All of a sudden I look at the screen and there was a battery charging animation. And then unpluged it and for kicks turned it on and it booted up no problem. Then I tried booting into bootloader and all works now. It was really strange, I did put twrp back though. I like it better then clockwork. I think I sore you asking questions in irc while I was in there asking question to ha.

I had the same thing happen and couldn't figure it out so I took it back to sprint told them I did the update and it messed up so they gave me a new phone for 35 bucks and from now on im staying STOCK.........................
DId you try to lgnpst back yet? That may help you.
-Frank
Frank...yup that's how mine worked. Just not sure how to do this. I don't think my failed lgpnst attempts did anything, b/c mine took the update eventually. I'll keep trying. This phone is so temperamental. Does Shellnut have some input on this problem? I can't figure out why some phones take and others don't when doing the same thing.
Talk to Shelnut2 over pm or find him in irc. I just found out there is a special version of freegee that may fix the problem. I seem to have fixed mine but I sent him a pm asking some questions about the problem. I think you are going to need to lgnpst back. Then root and run the special version of freegee. You have to get it from him because it does some things different that may brick the phone permanently. Thats why you have to ask for it. From what I understand it fixes that kind of problem.
-Frank
I will. I'm going to see if this thing will self correct. Otherwise I will check with him on that. The LGPNST is something I'm not looking fwd to doing.
LGPNST is not detecting phone in dl mode but does detect when in recovery. This SUCKS. Frustrated and out of ideas.
When you installed lgnpst did you install the file that says auto-lgnpst? Also did you run install.bat as administrator?

I've been working on mine for a day and a half. I can't figure out the thing with renaming the ".tot" file to ".bin" because I don't even see a .tot file. After I unzipped the big ZV7 there was only one file without an extension so I can't figure out if thats the one I'm supposed to rename. Can you point me in the right direction?:crying:
[ I figured it out, I had to go into Preferences on my file explorer and set it to show all file types...DUHHH ]
In Windows, go to control panel, file settings, show file extensions. Something like that.

Always backup your phone before tinkering with system files, and experimenting with launchers, kernals etc.
Titanium backup in WORTH the investment to upgrade to PRO.
Rom manager is a good one to boot directly into recovery without fiddling in the fastboot menu. And for backing up settings and roms.
Always KNOW what your doing. lol. sometimes even the big guys forget this. RESEARCH!
I like lg's hardware. I had optimus 3d and now have optimus g. Both has great hardware.
I have flashed custom roms since windows mobile days, so i should have a little experience..!
But you can never be sure to flash safely especially with Lg. You can loose your imei, baseband...etc
And now i have kernel crash on my loved optimus g... A demogod kernel crash. I can boot in cwm but cant restore system. It restore boot and then system restoring fails. I can also boot in android and after a few seconds it crashes. So it doesnt stay long enough to be fx recognized by pc to save it. Pc doesnt recognize it even in download mode. I will also try with another pc.
You dont have such problems with htc or samsung. The problems with these phones arent so complicated like lg.
SO NEVER AN LG AGAIN...
What about side loading rom? Phones with external sd cards are great in such moments.

I need to try it on another pc, as i said my pc cant see the phone. But it doesnt chage the truth about such problems with Lg.
yup, why not when you mess up the phone and cant do any thing about it, lets rock the blame game..

You can't blame LG for a mishandeling YOU made.
I had HTC's and Samsung in the past, they all present a "bricking" potential if you start to fool around with Kernel, custom rom, etc.
Now, you should try to restore it back to stock to see if it fixes your issues.

Yes, I've read your post: You've flashed a custom rom and now get a kernel error.
Go back to stock in download mode using KDZ updater and you should be ok.
Follow this guide to the letter:

And, as I already told, LG can't be blame for anything other than running stock. Even if you only root the device and crash it, you can't blame em for this.

Rooted and unlocked with a custom bootloader is not stock. You can have a lot of issue with the wrong bootloader. I once did!
Get it back to stock with the KDZ, you'll know if it's a software issue and if it's related to the custom/unlocking/rooting.
Wrong post sorrry.

What are you saying, is this a question? Who are you replying to?
This topic is not about update, it's about a bugus kernel. Don't mix things up please!
Finally... I figured it out. I have used the old KDZ updater and after tons of try, i did it. But again as i said no more LG... Maybe we should stick with a phone that has a sd slot. : )
A sum of what i did
1- find a stock rom from http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=20
2-Get old KDZ updater i have uploded and remove zip from the name
3-In KDZ updater choose 3GQCT and i think it was cs emergency, i am not sure and choose your kdz file and finally launch software update
4-Connect your phone in download mode to pc. KDZ updater has kicked the phone out of download mode and couldnt find the phone. Just try again and connect phone again while it extracts kdz file. You could also try different usb ports as i did.
Thats all.

That was what i did last time. But i think my problem was cwm. Because i wiped device in cwm and i had that problem. I have choosen cwm instead of twrp because it was preffered. What do you think? Should i choose twrp or cwm? Do you have experience with them?

CWM has issues with the latest Cyanogen, TWRP is apparently required so I installed the latter. I've been running "stock rom" for a month tought, I can't realy tell about Custom roms.

Can't blame on lg. I see a ip***e fired, my s2 baseband fu***d, all companies made there best. Maybe it's about damaged/dropped phone.
aren't threads/guides on rooting, flashing custom roms/kernels had warned you about a potential bricked device? sometimes it pays to understand/accept what we read.
Dont blame our root or unlocking methods. One day after unlock and root, my battery drain in 4 hours. I even cant flash custom android 4.2.2 ROM.Even twrp doesnt work, appears a black screen. One day i uninstalled NFC apk. And thats it. Everything go back to normal. I dont know why Android 4.2 ROMS dont work on my device in that time, but the battery problem was NFC.
Just sharing an experience.

As far as I know .tot.files are only available for at&t models.
For other g-pro models, there are no freely available flashtools.
"lg support tool" (with the .kdz.loader "uptest.exe") seems only to be safe with a locked bootloader on the phone.
Would be nice to make sure g-pro owners get to know that, before they have costly experiences with their phones.

what is going on here?
amilio just told us he isn`t able to flash!
already starting this thread with the misleading information!
this really gets down here to pure spamming!
why are you doing this???
nevertheless trying to give an answer:
TWRP has traditionally among its advanced tab features some sort of "adb" support.
on my other older android phone i could easily push zip files from pc to the phone.
This might be a way to go to get something to the phone that boots up or is close enough to stock firmware to be flashable with lg-support-tool
hello
thank you all, but I could not solve the problem, low battery error, and only enters TWPR, and I tried installing the CM, and error, which can not do.

cant you enter download mode? can you open your phone? maybe your file is broken. tried testing the archives using 7-zip it should not have any errors. if there is a single error , redownload it. that's what i when i flash g2 v5. i always get error status 1 but i fix it by redownloading and test if it has no errors in 7-zip. hope this helps
Before I created this thread here, I had already tried everything you have mentioned in your original post instructions. The instructions you provided are the first things I tried when I was troubleshooting and everyone should have already tried doing the obvious already. The problem most of us are facing, goes well beyond these instructions. I think it has something to do with missing boot files or permissions that were only exposed after the unlocking process using a specific released version of freegee.
I have managed to use LG Flash Tools now, even after being affected. I would not advise trying this though, as it was an accident for me. I had the back cover off while flashing a custom rom with CWM. After the rom file was installed, I rebooted my phone from CWM. As the phone was rebooting (was on the rom boot animation) the battery fell out. After I put the battery back in the phone would load to the rom boot animation, but it would freeze on this screen and then reboot and do the same thing over and over (bootloop to animation) - I then tried to factory reset and flash the rom again, with the same thing happening again) - I then went in to restore my phone using a backup through CWM. After the restoration, then phone would still hang at boot animation and then bootloop. I retried restoring and flashing multiple roms and re root the phone with a saved zip file on my phone. None of this was working. I decided to try to use LG Flast Tools again, only this time it actually passed the low battery warning. The funny thing is, I have tried thousands of times even at 100% battery level and lower (when there was nothing wrong with my phone at all) and it has never worked. This time it did (even though I had 66% battery) and still works now, as I just tried it again.
Thank you!!

hello,
This morning i was using my phone like every day, but i notice that i had no signal so i decided to restart the phone. When it restarted out of nowhere the phone started to boot loop.. i didnt do anything for it to start doing that.. after a long while trying to fix it i gave up and got into recovery and decided to clean install the rom. It did install but after 1 minute of being on the screen it would boot loop.. I download it the same rom and installed it and still kept doing the same thing.. i had a back up so i decided to install it which i did but again after 40 seconds of start up it would boot loop.. finally, i decided to use the LG Flash tool TWICE and it did work but again after a little while the phone turns off and on.. idk what lese to do??? any ideas?
Check if it displays your IMEI in the Settings. If not you should check if you've got a EFS Backup.

I've seen the question somewhere else (to use a backup from another g2) and they said, that it will boot but don't login into the network, cause you'll get a IMEI with 00000 or something like this.
Don't know a answer. I think I must send my G2 to LG and pay a lot of money IF they'll fix it.

OHH i see what you mean... I have added EFS backup to the IOroot scripts so that everyone that roots will have a copy of their EFS partitions on the computer you run IOroot from. Regardless, this current thread will still be a good "heads up" and an alternative for those who insist on using other shady root methods or for those who just want another way to back things up.
I did use IOroot, does that mean that if i connect it to the computer and try to root it again it would fix it? you think???

Well just wanted to let you know that i sent my phone to LG for them to fix it. They didnt charge me and all they did was re-flash the rom. if you havent fixed it you should try sending it to them.
I accidentally formatted everything from my phone. I was in CWM and I formatted everything, and now I basically do not have anything on my phone at all. After the LG boot up logo, the phone goes blank. I'm able to go into download mode. I tried following this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2420219, I keep getting failed previousload() a few seconds after clicking the top left yellow icon in LG flash tool. Anyone have any idea whats going on or how to fix this? LG E988.

Copy a compatible ROM to your memory card and start CWM to flash the ROM you have just copied.
Hope this helps.

What section did you find your fix in? My friend did the same thing to hers and I can't find the command line.

Hi I didn't find it in one particular section, I had to search everywhere, i spent a good 8 hours straight searching as I really needed my phone to work. I will try my best to start you off though.
I started here.

That's basically all you have to do. I did, however, run into plenty of issues along the way which is what took up all if not most of the 8 hours. What I did was google each and every issues that occured and I always found answers to it (with some added trial and error).
Here are some of the issues I faced while sideloading that you or your friend may come across.
''device not found''
''cannot read file''
Both of which can easily be solved by googling. I hope I guided you in the right path, feel free to pm me if you need anymore help.
