Just out of curiosity, do you have debugging checked in developer options?

Did you unlock the bootloader?

No I didn't unlock the bootloader yet. From the guide I thought it said I had to root before I unlock the bootloader? Unless I read that wrong.

yeah I have it checked. now its ran all the way a couple times but at the very end it says mount permisson denied. it finishes says I should have superuser then it doesnt work

I had a similar issue as well. I uninstalled the drivers and then reinstalled them and it solved the problem. Try doing that and see if it was the problem.

what kind of software are you using? e97011cc?

I uninstalled the drivers and it still didn't work. And yes I'm on e97011c

You will need to downgrade with lgnpst to root. It is in topic at top of page on irc.
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=lg-optimus-g

Yeah you will my bad also I don't know what i was thinking lol but I ran into that same problem and I restored back to like the day I got it and then rooted it and it worked just fine lol Some time's its just like that

Hop into the IRC to get the link to LGNPST so that you can downgrade. I think theres links in the other threads like the conversion, to get the link to the stock firmware. LGNPST is not hard to use, just make sure you have all the correct drivers installed and its quick and painless

I tried to rooting. But phone did not reboot, but it loses cell net.
I reboot it manually and phone now turns on screen for a half second and turns off. And I can not use it (unlock screen is not working).
I can run it in download mode. So what can I do? Download stock ROM and flash it? BTW, what app I need to flash stock ROM?

My friend did thus to his G as well. Screen was flickering on and off and the lock screen wouldn't open. He factory reset and was returned to out of the box like new.
Power+vol down

Power+vol down does not reset (I tried all combination: VolUp+Power, VolDown+Power, VolDown+VolUp+Power, only last one works).
Updated: Thanks! Power+vol down almost a minute holdin resets data. Now phone is working normal.

Question: I also tried to root on E97011c and it got stuck after the restore part and nothing happened. Does this mean nothing was put on my phone? Is it possible it could become messed up now?

I don't remember accepting any ota but I'm rooted and unlocked and I am on software e90711c , I don't know if a ROM changed it or what, but I followed the guide and used the free gee app on play store to unlock boot loader. Not sure if this helps in anyway, but like I said I managed to do it and don't recall accepting any ota.

Rooting Problem

I was just attempting to root my thunderbolt and my computer crashed right after I finished the downgrade. What do I do next! I'm having a mild freak out right now, as this is my first attempt at rooting.. Any help would be appreciated.

No need to start over. Just pick up where you left off. The computer crashed, not the phone. Since you already downgraded, all you need to do is pick up in the directions where you left off. No damage has been done to your phone because your computer has nothing to do with flashing updates from the bootloader.

If you just finished the downgrade, check Settings->Applications->Development to make sure Debugging is on and fastboot is off.
Also make sure you are in htc sync mode
Sent from my rooted stock OTA MR2 Thunderbolt
when i rooted my phone on sunday, i had a random reboot of my phone as soon as the downgrade was loaded. After that, the phone would show as offline in adb.
What i did to remedy that was to turn "USB Debugging" off, wait, then turn it back on. Then check if it shows up as online. Repeat this process until it works.

I do not think that matters. I rooted my phone on charge only.

If it doesn't go right, make sure you start all the way over from the beginning. I don't know why, but this phone was a pain in the butt to get rooted. It took me a good six or seven tries before it finally worked for me.
Oh, also, for some reason you'll probably need to enable check "unknown sources" in applications before you'll be able to copy stuff to the SDcard. that freaked me out the first time I stumbled across this problem.

It's pretty straight forward if you follow the step by step root guide instead of trying one of the scripts that have become oh so popular.
And I'm not sure about the "unknown sources" to copy to sdcard. The only reason you should need that is to actually install an apk that wasn't dl'ed through market.

For some reason after downgrading I wasn't getting the option to copy stuff to my SD card, i would charge but it wouldn't detect the connection.
I was following the guide.
The only reason I say put it in htc sync mode is because my phone shows offline unless it is in htc sync mode. Odd though.

Rooting problem also
I have tried and tried and tried to root my Thunderbolt. I have followed the guide on xda to a T. The problem is this, once you get to step 4 where you boot to the bootloader and try to get the PG05IMG.zip to load, it loads it[blue status bar] checks it[gold status bar] then back to the hboot bootloader screen. Also i should note that when i put the file on my sd card the md5sums match, but after the process in hboot bootloader, they don't match. Oh, and i have asked in the irc chatroom also, they tell me im doing it wrong. Should note also tried to pull the ota update and no go either. It downloads and fails everytime! Bought the phone off of craigslist so no warranty, just would like to root because the phone force closes every program i bring up on it and its frustrating me. Thanx Dra$tiK
Well for the force closing problem, just try to do a factory reset on the phone. As far as the ruu failing in hboot, it sounds like maybe the misc.img file you pushed didn't take. Try restarting the whole process over again, and also redownloading the downgrade.

How can I check to make sure that the file got pushed?
Is there an adb command I can try?
Also i have factory reset the phone 3 times from hboot.
Today however when i did reset it it went into a bootloop... thunderbolt screen constantly, was able to get it to the bootloader and all was well after that but still not rooted

SO...I can flash through LGPNST stock and root but every time i try the boot loader unlock and reboot my phone has the original problems . I've tried the process a few times with the same results.please help.

It may be helpful to someone else, if you were to explain how you fixed it.
Yes, it would indeed be quite helpful if you could elaborate... because this just happened to me and I'm stumped...
I followed the same exact procedure I've used other times without error...
Except that now, after LGNPST, then root, then freegee... go to restart the phone and it hangs... won't boot up. What gives?
I repeated the process and did a factory reset after LGNPST back to stock, since I noticed (oddly enough) that all my apps were still there after LGNPST (full, to 100%)...
Still no luck...
EDIT-- Can't for the life of me figure this effing thing out. LGNPSTed I don't know how many times... with factory reset, without... I've tried fully relocking and unrooting the device... both through the FreeGee app *and* manually through adb... no error mssgs, double-checked... everything followed to the letter. There's only one constant each time: Once I've re-unlocked the bootloader (either with the app or through adb)... the phone is basically softbricked... once I turn the power off, it is A) not possible to boot into the stock rom, B) not possible to access fastboot menu, and C) not possible to boot into recovery. The only thing it *is* possible to do is get into download mode... and from there I'd just have to LGNPST again, but what's the point, because once I've done that and tried to unlock again, I already know what's coming. Never been this frustrated with a phone before, any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT 2-- No luck. LGNPSTed to stock once more, and factory reset, because yet again, all my apps were still intact... idk. Anyways, decided to do some hunting around with adb, and "adb reboot recovery" produced an error screen... the android lying on his back with case open... am I to assume this means there is a problem with my recovery partition that could be causing my difficulties... or would one expect to see this screen when trying to access recovery on the stock phone?

Honestly I don't know how it was resolved. I lgpnsted and rooted and unlocked the bootloader like 5 times.I got into recovery a few times but then got the same problem two more times. The last time I got into recovery I managed to flash a custom kernel and everything was fine from then on. I just don't understand how this problem is caused or even how it is truly fixed.

I had access to stock and I could root it. One thing that bothers me is that when I flash with lgpnst my data isn't erased and I feel like there may be a problem there of whether lgpnst is even taking our phones back to stock completely

It's okay, I posted in XsMagical's thread, I'm hoping he can shed some light.
But actually, I'm just glad that I'm not the only one this has happened to...because if this error is reproducible, it can probably be fixed... so that's good. Thanks for your replies!

There have been a small number of phones that will not unlock with standard freegee. They can be unlocked but it is riskier, you would need to talk to Shelnutt in irc.

Our phones successfully unlocked with freegee originally but some error caused us to lose access to the bootloader and corrupt whatever ROM we were on and then cause errors where we could use free gee but run into problems. In my situation the problem was resolved somehow and free gee worked fine afterwards

Just for the sake of documentation, I made a little log of my most recent attempt at getting back into the fastboot menu... obviously it's convoluted, but hey... sometimes experimentation gets results. This time, however, it did not... still no luck.
LGNPST back to stock
factory reset from settings->backups
run root exploit
restore original backups from first time freegeeing via adb using carrett's method
reboot
full unroot from SU app
factory reset
LGNPST to stock
re-run root exploit
reboot
re-unlock with freegee script (adb)
disconnect cable
reboot
(right here is the failure. after running "power off and reboot" from the power button menu, phone shuts off. it tries to start up, then i get a quick flash of the LG logo, straight to a backlit black screen that hangs indefinitely. only thing possible from here is to enter download mode.)
Back to the drawing board...

Just for documentation and in case I can help solving this, I am having the same problem, I explain my case with more detail on the FreeGree Thread, but pretty much I am on the same ship as you, I have tried after LGNPST, with and without factory reset, with the Google Play application and with the desktop application, but same result, black screen after restart.
I have a brand new phone, picked it less than a week ago, could LG have changed something? bootloader/recovery partition sizes? something?
I am still within the 14 days period and as much as I like the phone, if I can't bootloader unlock, means I will be stuck on stock ROM, and that is something I don't want... might as well go and change it for a different phone, or sell it and get a nexus 4...
I get same.thing. black screen after freegee. Its two days old. So now what!?

HELP! sgh-i777 not turning on

So, I have the SHG-I777 and I had stock 4.0.3 but the cellphone started to reboot over and over again so I made a factory reset wipe cache and those things and the cellphone was working fine until today.
It started to reboot, I think it was on a loop (Sorry for the bad english) And I Couldnt do anything with it, I made factory reset again and it turned on but in safe mode and every process in the cellphone just stopped I wasnt even able to select a launcher..
It rebooted lots of time again and now it just stays in the "Siyah Kernel" screen.. Now I cant do anything andddd the laptop does not recognize it so I cant use Odin .. I trough that I could flash the stock 4.0.3 again via recovery mode but I dont know how to do it.. or if I should flash another Rom or a custom rom.. the only thing that I can do with the cellphone is to get into recovery mode.

I tried "WiFi fixer" from the Play Store, that didn't help either.
Phone has always been stock, no root.
Any suggestions?
Turn off fastboot and reboot. Then see if it works. If not only option might be to restore to factory settings.

I tried turning off fast boot but I will try it again.
Already did a factory reset. I'm on the stock Android version as we speak.
Did you try performing an ruu of the current version you are on?

No I have not. I've yet to dive into Rooting and different ROMs on smartphones.
Got a link?

The ruu won't root or put a custom rom on your phone. The ruu will erase your phone completely and put it back to the way it came out of the box on the stock rom. In your case it will be the newest update that's the ruu I suggest using. It's very easy to do just follow the instructions on the computer screen. Hopefully it can fix the issue if it doesn't it probably hardware related and if that's the case and your within your one year warranty try and get a replacement. But we can cross that bridge when we get there. For now get the newest ruu which is 3.0.6 I believe from here.

That is the direct download link. The ruu needs to be run on a Windows computer I recommend Windows 7 and have the phones drivers installed for it to work properly.
This is the thread where it's located on xda.

I can't get the CLI commands to run. I installed the Android SDK. Is there something else I need to do? I'm in "Fastboot USB" mode.

Is there a specific error that the ruu gives. I'm not familiar with what your referring to. Did you follow instructions in the thread I linked? Are your drivers installed for your phone?

Did you first try re flashing your kernel? Might be why your WiFi is sticking.

Hey guys, after flashing the firmware and the RUU twice using the link provided the Wi Fi is working but it's still acting a little funky here and there. Earlier this morning, the phone rebooted when I tried to turn on Wi Fi. After it booted up, I was able to turn Wi Fi on/off several times and it worked perfectly.
Any chance that putting cyanogenmod or something on there would fix these intermittent glitches?
What would I do for a bootloader and root?
Newbie here, did some reading last night but there's so much.
If you look in the original development thread you will find it. Go to the website download the one for the DNA and then follow the guide. Once you achieve soff you need to flash a custom recovery. I recommend the twrp 2.6 beta it seems to work when flashing all the kit Kat roms I haven't tried 2.7 yet but if your feeling adventurous you can try that to. To flash a recovery you need to put your phone in fastboot and then use the command fastboot flash recovery and then you have your recovery on your phone. Then you can flash what you want. If you want to do this and need any help direct message me and I can help you out.

I am trying to flash to the Sense 5 RUU to see if it corrects my Wi Fi issues but it's stuck at the following:
(bootloader) Read zipped android_info fail
What should I do?

OK, I decided to take a chance and reboot the device. I'm back in fastboot mode so I'll try the RUU again.
