Im a beginner to rooting and installing roms. I recently tried this on my lg optimus g. I had CyanogenMod installed but got a error almost every second on it. Me being a noob to all of this decided it would be a good idea to delete everything off of the storage of the Optimus. Now in clockwork it says i do not have a root and i cannot connect my cell phone to my computer. PLEASE HELP!?!?!?!
You've got a lot of reading and dl'ing to do then.

Under "Additional info" . Click the show button. It'll get you what you need
Edit: If you still have recovery, you might be able to adb sideload a ROM.

If the drivers and LGNPST are installed, start LGNPST, then press and hold vol up+dn together and plug in usb. It should go into DL mode.

Q: LGNPST Won't open and says "usb dongle not detected"
A: In the lgnpst folder where u ran the .bat to install it should be a lgnpst_acg.exe file somewhere. Copy it to your program files > lg electronics > lgnpst folder overwriting the current exe in that folder. Should work now.

Oh sorry. LGNPST is a software tool to load stock firmware. If you go to the lg-optimus-g irc on freenode and ask around im sure one of the guys there will direct you to the automated LGNPST.

In the dev section there is a tutorial on how to restore a phone from soft brick. I realize you're not actually soft bricked, but it has instructions about sideloading zip files to recovery. Might help you.

If you're using TWRP you can go to advanced>adb sideload and use the 'adb sideload <filename>' command to push a ROM to the phone which will then automatically install. That way you can avoid losing root.

I did resolve it.
My phone just sometimes needs to be reconnected to a power source and the drivers read.
Then the phone will magically work after LGNPST
Oh well. Back to development now so I can brick my phone again.

Ok unfortunately I decided to root my LG and obviously thats was my first mistake. I was reading xda about how to root my LG Optimus G. Well i found a thread that talked me through it but I decided to take the short and download freegee from the playstore. And needless to say in the middle of it backing up someone decided they felt the need to call me. I didnt answer the call but it went back to downloading the recovery. When it finished it said it couldnt find the files. Long story short my phone worked for 2 days before it decided that it was gonna be deactivated and i no longer use my phone unless its on wifi. I talked to sprint the tech told that basically everything is gone and the biggest part thats missing is the radio and if i could recovery that or flash a new one then I have buy a new phone. Can anyone please please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :crying:

Vol. down: Reboot
Power: Fastboot
If I choose Dload Mode pls do following
1 . Dload Mode. Pls connect USB
2. Get tha ram dump image using QCT's memory debug app
3. Send email to contact point or [email protected]
Which bin file did you use? Zv9? Or ZVB? The demigod thing is nothing. Just reboot. If you can get into recovery, do a factory reset. You might lose everything tho.

I think it was the Zv9 bin file. I just tried pressing the vol. down to reboot but instead it decided that vol. up was pressed and it jumped to Dload Mode. How do i get out of it or stop it.

Press and hold the power button for 20+sec. Next press vol down+power until the capacitive lights come on then release them. That should bring up stock recovery. Do a factory reset. You'll use the capacitive menu key to select.

Go to recovery. Still do the factory reset. Are you sure you used zv9? If that doesn't work, in the teeny bin thread download the original one. If you can also put a ROM on your SD and flash it.

Install LGNPST and download either ZV9 or ZVB bin. And run it.
This should get you up and running. It includes the modem also.
Edit. Zvb is the most current. But we can make either bin work.

yeah, this ^ seems like your best shot: You can fix your phone-recognition problem, unroot, and (if you do it right), keep your data in one fell swoop.

As long as you don't end up with stock recovery and do a factory reset, usually you'll keep your SD intact.
