Can you get to download mode? If so you should be able to use lgnpst. See my guide and/or visit irc. Good luck!

yes im able to get into download mode,i actually ran lgnpst but gives me a error at 85%

error at 85% is normal - press and hold the power button an the phone should restart

thank you very much phone successfully revived my phone with that hard reset
you can't get to the recovery or reset without turning it off first. if it don't wanna turn off just pull the battery then try again.
Little too slow in responding. very sorry about that.

now its working fine so how to root this version
check the ginger lol thread in development. It has instructions for rooting that should work.
shortcut to instructions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14590924&postcount=202
But there are probably easier ways i'd guess.
I think you should do it with GingerBreak, but I'm not sure.

apparently gingerbreak doesn't work (fc or something) so actually this is the easiest way to do it right now i think
Try this
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
for root. From adb. But you'll need to install the superuser app I think.

Remember, whenever you downgrade via KDZ, at last after disconnecting the phone. Always remember to perform the hard reset by the 3 button combo

Its a CM7 feature. Don't you like it? Anyways you can always turn it off from the cynogenmod settings.void forever does not hav the settings by default so you must flash the settings first via the proper zip which you can find in the void forever post

bro i have backed up my stock rom as clockwormod before flasing...m i rite??
but do i have to unroot the phone etc etc before availing the warranty??
If you have a backup then you can restore it to get back to stock(obv). And it is recommended you unroot before taking it to warranty services. Some may allow it, others may not.

No, pc cannot recognise mobile as it keeps rebooting.
unsure of first question.Dont think it is
While rebooting try to hit adb reboot-recovery using adb..do it before mobile gets off.
Also try button combo just to see weather it can enter into recoveru.
Good luck:thumbup:

I recently acquired an optimus g and the guy that owned it before said he tried flashing a KitKat ROM and it soft bricked. I can't get the computer to recognize the phone and I got the most recent drivers for it. I was gonna use lgnpst to fix it but I can't. Does anybody have any ideas on how I can fix it?

Computer doesn't recognize it at all, or just lgnpst? Lgnpst doesn't work with USB 3.0 if that helps explain it.

Check device manager too. If it shows as QSUSB Dload it is a hard brick that can't be fixed with lgnpst.
What is it doing exactly, have you tried getting to recovery with button combo?

I wonder if you could get adb to recognize phone. If so you could fastboot flash a different recovery, or adb push a zip to internal storage.
Does it boot to the splash screen? If so have you tried a factory reset using button combo?

I would use the ADB commands to boot into recovery. Also might want to look into logcats to see what the issue is.
