I've never seen that but they mention in the app to hit them up on IRC if you're able too. Give that a try and also try using LGNPST using teenybins. That may help out as well.

I would use tennybin but I'm not sure if I would be able to get into download mode since they said not to reboot because I could possibly get hard bricked. The part that failed contains download mode and if I reboot I could possibly not boot back up or get into download mode.

I actually got it fixed. Problem was I was not properly rooted and so I was not asked superuser permission. Therefore nothing actually really happened

Hi, I too have the same issue as you faced. It didnt ask for superuser permission too. So will i end up hard bricking if i rebooted? BTW my phone is Sprint LG Optimus G LS-970. Wonder why the rooting failed.
EDIT: Device was still unrooted (I thought I did the rooting properly). Thats why Freegee went haywire and threw me hardware brick prone error on rebooting.

Anyone rooted this phone yet? I tried super one click and it hangs.

No luck so far but it's being worked on. Looks like it might require dumping a rooted kernel on there.
hope you guys get this asap!!!
It has been rooted. Check the dev section

I purchased the phone yesterday. So this may be an update that you guys already received.

That's what it is...I just got the phone last Saturday so already had the update.

I've already rooted/unlocked my phone, and I'm running the base ROM. Is it safe to install this update? I haven't seen anyone mention it, so I'm thinking it's probably alright. However, I figured it would be safer to ask anyway, given the "do not allow any OTAs to install without asking if they are compatible" warning in the FreeGee thread .

I don't think it will install if you're not on stock. I think the install will fail.

You needed to unlock the bootloader with freegee after you rooted the phone to actually delete any stock or bloat apps. There is a security check that runs when the bootloader is locked and freegee would of took care of that. Now you have to lgnpst back to stock. Grab the tot file in the dev section and get on irc and get the lgnpst.

I'll be the first to say it...
I screwed up my phone entirely and I know. But that's neither here nor there at this point.
I'm really just hoping for some serious help at this point.
Thanks in advance.
I was stock ll4 baseband and attempted to run “one click"casual to root/unlock/recovery.
Somehow during this process my phone managed to root but failed to unlock or install custom recovery.
I made it back to home screen and checked for root status to verify.
This is where the bonehead mistakes come in
I then tried to install twrp manually thinking the bootloader possibly unlocked during casual. But it did not.
After trying to boot into recoveryi get a notification that I am running custom software and to return my device immediately to Verizon.
I can't get back to home screen either same message.
I attempted to revert to stock several times using droidstyle method and Odin keeps coming at sboot.bin.
Does anyone out there no wtf I did to my phone?
Please help. Thank you

I just picked up this phone today. And just rebooted and it said custom unlocked. I've seen another person say this too. However I'm wondering if anyone knows why. I don't plan on rooting till I can unlock the bootloader too and more custom roms come out.

So you picked it up from Verizon that way? If so boot in to download mode (power on holding the volume down button, then press volume up) and see if Write protection is Enabled. You'll have to pull the batter to get out of download mode.
Update I checked it again now and haven't rebooted or done anything still. And now it says official. This is so weird... I'm not the first to see this either. Maybe the device is randomly unlocking and locking the bootloader. Cuz I rebooted like four total times. And once it said unlocked custom. And checked status a couple times and it's always official but that one time. Previous post. I just picked up the phone today. Haven't rooted yet either. I don't wanna root until bootloader and roms and everything are set to go. I hate stock but it is what it is for now.

Up this still makes no sense what if I need to bring to Verizon I'm bone stock and it sometimes says custom on reboot and in device status as well. Both change. I know I'm not the only one. And I'm not rooted or anything. Bone bone stock... Should I return?..
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
No I'm not bs. I've had it say custom unlocked on rebooting once out of like the four times total. And this will say original or custom randomly certain times of the day? Like the phone unlocks the bootloader and relocks at different hours?

That's bs, take it back........Even if you plan to unlock the boot loader down the road, you don't need to be dealing with the inconsistency of the stock boot loader locking and unlocking itself when it feels like it.
I saw another person with the same issue but I think was rooted I've had it for a day. I don't want to return it if other people have the same issue. I need more feedback.

I have had this issue as well. Mine was related to flashing a debloated rom after rooting. I ended up getting a new phone from verizon, just acted like I had no idea what was going on.

Has your new phone had any issues yet. Any signs of it. Should I try and exchange?

Seeing how there are a few people with this issue and probably people that have it and don't even know. This may be just a software bug which is why I'm hesitating to exchange and get a phone worse off.

If your running any aftermarket kernels or kernel mod apps and have the "set on boot" active, it will trigger the custom logo.
