Howdy y'all!
So, special thanks to user "sextape" for providing this, I'm just mirroring it just incase LG decides to change the link, or lock us out.
This is the Stock Shipping Firmware, LGE970AT-00-V10o-ATT-US-SEP-29-2012+0
You need the DLL files, and LGNPST 2.2.3 to flash this. If you need that, hop on the IRC channel ( #lg-optimus-g ) and ask for it.
http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/att/firmware
I will post the latest firmwares as they are available to this link.
EDIT: Heh, well, it looks like LG took down the firmware from their CSMG server. Get it while it's hot!
EDIT2: Whoops, my server's got a problem with the plus sign in the download link.. Give me a few while I get that sorted...
EDIT3: Alright, that's fixed. Sorry about that...
well now we can have some cooks go in and start tweaking and debloating this firmware so we can upload it to our devices... next best thing besides a fresh ROM

Why do I have the feeling I'll be losing a lot of money to you?!?! You're everywhere man! Thanks for the help and support. I'm going to try and learn how to debloat and so forth, now that this phone is looking promising. I always just grabbed other people's roms, but this should be fun with the S4 Pro!!
Ok so I have a 'tester' Optimus G for AT&T. It was given to us about 1 month ago to test certain Software on. So I wanted to try and get the 'official' firmware/build/etc. over to the test unit, to make it as identical to the released version as possible. The hardware is most likely identical.
The test unit though has the same Android version, Baseband version, Kernel version, Build number (IMM76L), the only difference is the Software version. The test unit is E97009j but the official unit is E97010o. The LGMobile Support tool reports the test unit as model LGE970 Version E97009J and the official unit as Model LGE970 Version E97010O
LGMobile support tool doesn't report any updates available for either unit. So any idea what SW version entails? Any idea on how to get the test unit in sync with the official release? I was trying the official LG route but that doesn't work. I don't think AT&T has released any official images for this phone. I was thinking of a nandroid backup using CWM but the CWM in this forum (only 2 posts in Rom development??) doesn't have any instructions for installing it and it's only temporary. I was thinking of flashing this Stock ATT Firmware posted here but it requires me to go to IRC and ask for some files but when I did nobody answered. I'm coming from the HTC and Samsung world. In Samsung's world I'd just use Odin to flash a stock image which includes modem, bootloader, recovery, etc. the whole package. But not sure about LG's world. Maybe I should just root both units and go in there and dd the relevant partitions from the stock unit to an image file and then restore those images to the same partitions on the test unit. But which partition numbers are "relevant"?

You don't to "use" it, just log in to the #lg-optimus-g channel (login just requires a screen name, channel and enter reCAPTCHA, but no SW install or requesting an account). Then wait 5-10 min and someone will ask for the files, which will be followed by a posting of the link.

Actually it looks like this kernel did support custom boot animations out of the box. If you want to test, go to system/media and copy your stock boot animation. Then push a custom one and set permissions rw-r-r and reboot. I just needed a kernel that was stock with init.d and adb remount so I can make changes like deodexing and customizing apps then reodexing and pushing back apks

I've already created my custom boot Ani, thanks! I put it in the themes section for anyone who wants it. Works like a charm. My only gripe is that i can't use my boot animation installer because it says that's a read only file (system /media) Didn't have that issue with my other phone. Could that be caused by the kernel? Oh well, I'll do it manually for now. Keep up the great work!

greetings all,
i have a new phone and unfortunately the phone came with a rom of our service provider t-mobile who but some custom apps witch can be only removed if the phone has been rooted.
of course i did some research on how to root my device but i get stuck and have no idea anymore how to root my device. i made luckily a screen capture.
could please someone help me how to root my device and send me links of file that i need during the root proces.
many thanks in advance.
Those pre-installed apps are part of your firmware, which is branded. If you want to get rid of them, flash one that isn't branded. And if you want your phone rooted too, just go with a custom-ROM.
If you need help with it, tell me what country you live in and what language you want your UI in.

you mean just instal a custom rom using odin?
This depends on your desired outcome.

CyanogenMod is as close as you can get to the "naked" Android. It's like the nexus-series.
MIUI is like a mix of Android and iOS. Very simple, yet powerful and allows a lot of customization.

many thanks for explanation, so in my case i should probably choose for miui, so how do i get it on my phone?
First backup your data. You will have to factory reset your phone. What language is the UI in? I assume Dutch, but I'm not sure.
You can already download Odin and the Siyah-kernel (the tar version).
Edit:
Just checked your profile. ;-)
You can find ether latest MIUI on
www.miui.nl/
Tell me once you have all the files.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
i downloaded the Siyah-kernel and also download the miui rom from miui.nl.
so what do i need to do next?
You need either Odin or Heimdall. In your case I'd go with Odin, as it's simpler to use and you won't need it much. So, download Odin and get the drivers working. Close KIES competely, put your phone into download-mode (turn off, hold volume-down & home, then turn it on) and connect it while Odin is running. It should detect your device.
I'll post the further instructions once you got everything working so far.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
i am ready
When you are ready with Odin, make sure that Repartition and flash lock are NOT checked.
Auto reboot and f. reset time shall be.
Tick the "PDA" box and select the Siyah tarball. Then hit start.
When the phone reboots immediately hold volume-up and home until you are in ClockWorkMod.
Go to mounts & storage and mount the USB-storage. Put the MIUI-zip-file on your device, then unmount the USB-storage.
After that proceed like this:
Wipe data
Install zip from sd-card and choose your MIUI zip.
Wait till the installation is finished and reboot.
If your phone does not boot, go into ClockWorkMod and install again.

GingerMOD is also very close to pure AOSP. I'm actually considering going to it because it supports TV-Out via MHL, whereas CyanogenMod does not, as far as I know. Could be worth checking out for you.
use another kernel
hi it have worked for me too, but i have a question, could i use another kernel with a stock rom is this possible, im not that smart and have for the first time a smartphone the same as karamanoglu, i just got lucky to got my phone rooted, first i did a hard reset and it got in a loop by rebooting and going to the tmobile logo back and forth, so i got frustrated and decided to root it, but i dont like the custom rom and want it back to the stock rom, but am affraid it will get a brick with my luck. can i use the kernel bokg2 and with the original stock rom from samsung but still rooted and can delete the apps from samsung if i want, sory for the bad english.
This one is difference than Da_G one. Da_G one is perm root but it will increase flash counter. This one flash with Odin but in system level not boot kernel
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c3cd812/n/att_note_root.zip
please elaborate ?
i'm a bit confussed
Where is the file?
im guessing what he means is that when you flash this via odin it will give you root perms UNTIL you reboot then you will no longer have root kinda like the temp root the evo3d started with
Hi,
I think what Mashi meant to say and didn't explain too well is that this is a pre-rooted /system image, in the form of system.img.ext4 inside of a pda.tar to be flashed via odin.
Both ways result in a permanently rooted system partition, just this way flashes it directly, leaving the stock kernel intact, whereas my method flashes a modified kernel which then roots the /system partition via a script.
Apparently the download site he uploaded it to doesn't allow non-premium users to download files that large.

Well... a friend got one and wants root as well, and my first thing I told him, pull system, root it, (add su to /system/bin and superuser.apk to /system/app) then flash it back with Odin.
Can anyone tell me that would not work? It sounds like that is what this is...

Hi
I Just got myself an optimus G, whoever i got it from forgot to tell me the device is rooted and is running another rom, not the stock.
Anyone knows how do i restore to stock?
I found what supposedly is some version of the stock rom-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067871
but now i see i need cwm for it. which i currently don't have.
So i searched further and found this-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1979996
Which is perfect for my needs, but- "read the instructions!"
I would, if there were any. I'm not saying anything and everything should include a mountainload of details and steps, but it would be helpful if some of the threads here would include a line or two of explenation for LG noobies. I see people tell others "use fastboot" as it's a given. I have no idea what that even means, and searching did not help much as well...
Any help would be appreciated, i need to get this stock asap, supposed to be a gift.
Thanks.
If you're running another rom shouldnt you have a custom recovery?
And if you just want to start fresh go to free node irc channel #lg-optimus-g and at the top is a link for lgnpst just follow the guide there

I haven't actually used the guide but I'm not in a state to guide anyone through the process at the moment so I will just say follow the guide as well as you can. If I remember right that's the automated version so it should set everything up for you, but I've never used that one so I'm unsure. If you have questions ask in irc or wait till about noon and ask. There's usually a lot of people on at that time

I think the reason why is because LGNPST is copyrighted software which means XDA doesn't want to provide access to as they'd be violating the DMCA as well as risking pissing off LG who's software it is.

If you're running another rom shouldnt you have a custom recovery?
And if you just want to start fresh go to free node irc channel #lg-optimus-g and at the top is a link for lgnpst just follow the guide there

Hey guys. I am not from around here. You will normally find me hanging out in the Nexus forums. I need some help trying to correct an issue my noob buddy caused on his E970. He brought it to me today in a boot loop and apparently he rooted it an uninstalled some GAPPS and now he has this security error and BL. Now, so far I have managed to install the drivers..... that's it. I have worked on a variety of different devices but I am really having trouble with this. I think the issue is I can not find a thread that is comprehensive enough to explain what alot of the different tools are and what they do. I mean there is
1. LGNPST
2. Teenybin
3. Freegee or something like that
Then there about 14 different file types depending on the tool you are using. I have seen;
1. dll
2. bin
3. kdz
4. tot
I have to be honest with you guys this is confusing as hell. I keep coming across dead links and old downloads and stuff that may not work. I REALLY don't like using stuff not linked from XDA as that is all I've known for many years (not to say other sites aren't reputable but you never know) I can follow instructions and figure out most stuff on my own but due to the in completion of alot of this stuff and dead links I am kinda stuck I am gonna give it another go tomorrow but in the meantime if someone wants to drop me a link or word of advice as to where to at least start it would be awesome. I am pretty handy generally with this kind of thing but I guess that goes to show you sometimes you are only as good as the tools and directions you are working with. Thanks XDA Community! :good:
Okay the first three.
3.lgnpst is the program you will need to use to fix the security error which was caused by removing bloat without unlocking bootloader.
2.teenybin is used with lgnpst to unlock bootloader, update partitions to jb, and install recovery. It doesn't install firmware but could be used to restore if a rom was copied to sd to flash.
3.freegee is used to unlock bootloader and install recovery on a working phone.
Next four.
1.dll are files needed by windows.
2.bin is the extension the file needs to be for using lgnpst.
3.kdz is stock firmware for use with lgflashtool (used mainly for international phones)
4.tot is the extension the stock firmware is released with which will be renamed to bin before using lgnpst.
In the additional info section of teenbin thread there is a click to show content button that will have have links and guide for lgnpst. Use the tSilenzio version and it will register the DLL files on install.

Thank you. This is exactly what I needed. Someone just to say "these are what these things are and what they do". I do have to admit I don't fault my buddy too much for soft bricking this thing as of all the devices I've rooted or flashed to this seems the most confusing. And also it's very odd that if you remove BW without first unlocking the bootloader you get this error..... Why can't they all just be as easy as a Nexus? Lol.

A few other things that may help.
1.lgnpst is a pain with windows 8
2.it will not work with USB 3.0
3.be sure to right click lgnpst exe and run as admin
I got my OG right after release but had already been following forum, and would hate to have to jump in now and try to figure things out.

Well its especially difficult when someone just brings you a phone and you've never even seen it booted up and you don't know all the weird quirky rules it has (like if you uninstall GAPPS without unlocking the bootloader then you get a bootloop.) lol Otherwise it seems like a solid phone. It has almost the same specs as my Nexus 4.

This link is for a flashable zip of rooted stock jb. If you used the teenybin files with lgnpst then flashed it with recovery the end result would be stock rom with unlocked bootloader, root, and custom recovery.

Real quick.... So once I've got everything back to stock and get the boot loader unlocked.. Will I then be able to modify system stuff, uninstall bloat etc and avoid that evil security error boot loop?

Yes, once you're unlocked & rooted you will be good to go. I would recommend flashing an established rom and installing the GApps that are recommended. It would be a lot more convenient and less of a hassle.
Make sure you are using TWRP, CWM was causing bugs with flashing of some roms. Hope this helps.

Awesome and once I've flashed a good rom. Would that then circumvent any future boatloads caused by modifications etc.? So in other words are those proprietary (catches) cooked out when the devs set up a rom? I would imagine so. I know most of us folks hate that kinda thing... Lol
BTW any tips on a good solid stable Jelly Bean Rom? Would want it to be pretty stable since it's not my phone... Lol

Hey thanks again everyone! Got the phone fixed. A stock AT&T 4.1.2 Rom on there and root privileges intact. Everything is good to go. I actually kinda like the phone a lot.... I really want an LG G2..... Oooh yeah... Thanks again everyone and maybe some one will find the instructions in this thread helpful.
