E970 - Null IMEI issue and NO EFS Back-UP - AT&T LG Optimus G

Folks -
I am noob here but believe me I did every thing to search existing thread and get solution to my problem.
Okay so here is my problem: My LG E970 is stuck in boot loop. Phone starts and it stays on for about 30-45 seconds and then again it restarts. This loop continues.
1. I tried Safemode and the problem still exists.
2. I tried to flash stock ROM with LGNPST by going through download mode and still issue exists.
3. I tried Tinybeen "E970_Original_TeenyBin-AA.bin" with LGNPST and still no solution to problem.
I am also not able to fast boot i.e. when I press volume up + power on then only LG logo keeps on flashing.
Please help me what I am missing. I thought flashing stock ROM should solve all the problem.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

What happened before the bootloop? what were you trying to do? LGNPST should restore your phone back to life, I had a few issues with it though(at 85% program would display error, phone would bootloop), had to try different PCs till phone got flashed to 100% and phone booted as normal.

I had my phone in charging and when I removed it this problem started. My phone was rooted. But thanks for your suggestion - let me try on different machine because in my case LGNPST goes to 85% and then phone reboots. I read that it should be fine if it goes to 67% or 85% and reboots.

It's supposed to be, but your phone has to reboot and work, not get stuck in bootloop. I had to do it on a winxp machine for it to work, dunno why it didn't work on my laptop with win7.

Okay - so I tried on different laptop and still issue exists. Please see my two laptops are on Windows 7.
This is strange because LGNPST is successful in loading stock BIN. Also, Teenybin is giving same issue. Will give it a try again and keep you posted.

Teenybin is your best bet. After flashing press vol up to enter recovery and flash another rom. Teenybin is not a rom so the phone will not fully boot.

Thanks for providing response.
So you mean I flash Teenybin with LGNPST first and then flash any custom ROM?
But to flash custom rom the bin file should be on phone. Correct? How can I copy file to phone when my phone keeps booting.
Also - any suggestion for stable custom ROM - in the meantime I can keep it for download.
Appreciate all help I am getting on this forum.
Thanks!!

If teenybin flash was succesful (there are 2 teenybins, I used the altbin for best results), you should get stcuk on a screen saying google in white letters. Reboot phone and press vol up to get to recovery.
As for custom roms, depends on preference. I am currently using snowjb1.1 (stock with best gaming performance), but EG8, mydeodexed and artmod seem nice(all stock). If you want kitkat, flash the kit kat TWRP recovery and then flash any kitkat rom(I tried Vanir, beanstalk, psx, commotio, they are all nice)

So to flash any rom it needs to be on phone memory or I will need to source SD card and copy rom on that?

It can be on the sd card. If the TWRP teenybin installs doesn't read your sd card, install a newer one(I'm using TWRP 2.6.3.0 non kitkat version)

I used TeenyBin[AltBin] with LGNPST and now I am able to Fastboot.
At present I am in recovery menu.
Can I copy stock bin "LGE970ATT-V20j-Stock.bin" to SD card and install it with help of TWRP? Please guide.

Nope, it wont flash.
Bin is used for LGNPST flashing. You need a rom that is already packed and ready for flashing via recovery. Look in the android development section, pick a rom and download.

Thanks a lot for all your help. I have kept SnowJB v1.1 for download. Will update here once I am done.

I flashed SnowJB v1.1 and now my phone is up and running. No bootloops now.
But, I am not getting network i.e. no signals even though SIM card is active and working on other phone. I tired re-inserting SIM/ re-booting / Airplane mode on and off but still it don't show cell phone signals.
Please let me know what should I do to resolve this issue?

If u have bootloops issue you just need to format data/cache, sometimes internal storage.. through recovery.. Now you probably mess you efs.. In that case use Lgnpst back to fix it

Oh - I was not aware of that.
So, now I need to go to download mode and simply flash stock bin using LGNPST.
That will resolve issue? or do I need to take care of anything else?

Try flashing jellybean att radio in recovery, if that doesn't flash back to stock with lgnpst.

If you can quickly point to download link then nothing like that.

I got to step 15, and I realized I forgot to place the ROM in my sd card so I restarted the cellphone so I could place the ROM in my sd card, go to reboot to repeat the process and I get a screen that goes:

Can someone post a link to a recovery file for my phone? You guys are the best.
I followed the above guide, and used the ROM here prepaidandroid.org/index.php?title=How_to_restore_your_Optimus_V_to_almost_original_condition
It reboots, and the same blue screen is up
My brother flashed the wrong recovery, I tried using the tutorial to fix it using fastboot.exe from windows, but it won't work as it can't find the device. windows sees an android device and I installed the drivers from lg, but it refuses to enumerate in adb shell, so I can't connect to it, any ideas?
okay after fiddleing with it a bit, I got the origional recovery mode restored on it, and when I boot into recovery and plug in usb adb can see the device, I have a stock froyo rom how do I restore from here, or can I reflash clockwork from here?

go to this page
this only works if you have some sort of custome recovery, My brother had the wrong one for the optimus v (clockworkmod 3.2.0.0) and it wouldn't install any rom.
I just played around with this page until I got the stock bootloader/recovery back, however I'm not sure if this is what we want, you may want to try flashing one of the custom recoveries listed on the site, now that I have the stock I can re-flash anything.

you need to get into a custom recovery, optimus v press back, volume up and power at the same time to boot into a recovery, if you don't have a recovery at all there maybe an issue. so try and boot into a recovery and let me know what you have.

if you can't get into any recovery your device maybe permintally bricked, but don't take what I say as gospel I'm new at this as well, I'm still looking up more info, in the mean time you need to figure out how to get into recovery, google for key combos, also when using a key combo to get into recovery make sure power is the last button you press in the combo, hold down the others then power (while still holding the other buttons) and release as soon as you see the lg logo, it should go away quickly and after a few seconds of black you'll see the recovery, if the lg logo stays up for a while it's trying to normal boot.

I think if I can get adp to recognize this device I can fix it. Fastboot recognizes this, but adp doesn't. Is there a special adp driver maybe lol?
Got a little bit of progress....did a full system flash using fastbootroot and NVM OMG its fully booted! wow never thought I'd see the homescreen again...now to try to flash it again hahahaha
Now what verison of recovery and rom should I be looking at?

if you want to get aospCMod on your phone, follow this tutorial, this is what I did for my phone works great.
Now my question to you is how did you use fast boot root tool to get back to home screen because I'm still stuck at recovery
okay I finally managed to fix it, I figured out how to use fast boot root and got a custom recovery, from there I could flash other recoveries, which was importaint because even though I could install any rom I wanted it was stuck in a boot loop where it would keep booting into recovery, So i flashed Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_VM_Recovery.zip from here and under advanced it has an option to fix the boot loop, then from there I could flash a rom and it's fixed.
Lot of work fixin' my first bricked phone, but I learned alot.

[Q] S4 bricked?!

I was trying to install MIUI on my s4 but it showed up that the software/kernel was not authrorized so I reflashed PAC and saw on another forum that I should use ez unlock to unlock it it (which I did) and then tried to flash it again after wiping and now my phone won't turn on (no recovery or odin either). Help please!
Edit: Okay now this is bad, I just checked the forum and I installed a sprint miui rom (*facepalm*)

to enter download/odin mode from a power off state hold power and volume down. To get to a power off state, pull your battery.
If you can't get to odin mode...I have no idea how you can fix that.

If you can't get the phone to do ANYTHING. Not even odin or recovery modes. What other options would you expect there to be?
You can try to get it to do whatever it does when you press the power button while attached to your computer to see if you can get ADB to recognize the device. If so you could potentially force it to go into recovery.
I understand that but I still don't see why flahsing a wrong rom completely disabled the phone

Lol even if you don't understand, your phone still isn't going to work. If you can't get into Download Mode or Recovery, You can send it to get Jtag repaired at a number of places. This is signifcantly cheaper and they can unbrick your phone.

[Q] [HELP] TWRP does not read SD

After many lost hours of sleep, I finally give up and come to the community for help. I've seen the problems I'm having posted a lot, but I've not yet found a solution.
To start, all was well with my KitKat 4.4 ROM, except that my SIM would not read. So in my troubleshooting process, I did a full system wipe of everything through TWRP v2.6.3.0 (including internal memory), knowing that my ROM and other necessary files were saved on my SD card. The problem now is that TWRP will not show that I actually have an SD, so I'm stuck with no OS now. I've tried everything I've seen, such as formatting and properly "ejecting" the SD from my computer after doing so. I've tried three different SD cards, two 16gig and one 2 gig. Still won't read.
The only other thing I can think to do is use ADB to push or sideload - my device does not show at all when I try. Same result with fastboot. I'm suspecting that the issue with this is the driver. So far, after searching for hours and hours, the only driver I've found to use with the E970 is the usb_driver downloaded through SDK Manager. When I use this driver, it shows my phone as Google Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface in the Device Manager. But still no luck with ADB or Fastboot.
So I apologize if either of these has been solved one or more times before, but I'm desperate for help. Thanks!
AFAIK , there is a special modded TWRP version for KK Geeb that is patched to read SD Cards.
You'll have to search it or wait till someone who has it posts it here. But I have read about that somewhere , it's just that I am not able to recall. If I find it , I'll post asap.

As of right now, my phone has no ROM installed. I'd be willing to bet that it wouldn't read from an SD even before I tried my first ROM, but I don't really know since I never tried. Stupid on my part for not doing so before the wipe. I'll look into the modded TWRP, and hopefully it'll get me somewhere. Thanks for the help!
I assume it shouldn't be hard to push the modded recovery to the phone via ADB. Then you would be able to get the SDcard recognized and flash the rom of your choice.
Or second choice stands as LGNPST , then flash alt./orig. teenybins , which'll give you TWRP 2.5.0.0 or something similar to it. You can flash the new modded TWRP using that as well.

The problem with this is that I can't get ADB to find my device. If that were the case, I'd just push the ROM straight to my internal memory since that's the only one it sees. I've tried and double checked many times to make sure I was doing the ADB process properly. As far as I can tell, I am. Which leads me to think its not the proper driver for my phone. But I can't find any others.
I thought about LGNPST, but I can't get the phone into download mode without an OS. And that's the only way I know to use LGNPST.
You can get the phone to download mode , even without a ROM. The Download mode is initiated , right at phone start up. I think you may be doing it in a wrong way or so , that's why it's not booting up in dload mode. Check the TeenyBins thread , and see if you are doing it right way.
If your phone is booting then LGNPST will work most probably.

You're absolutely right! I had entered download mode more than a few times before, so I knew how to do it. But I guess in my sleep-deprived and frustrated state, I must have been forgetting something. Just got it into download mode on the first try. I feel like starting fresh with a stock ROM is best, so it's working on that right now.
Thanks coming your way!

Take enough sleep , before flashing next time. Last time I remember when I was sleep deprived and did some flashing , I ended up with a partial brick. :lol:
Start fresh with teeny bins. Then FLash the stock rom using recovery. ( Don't LGNPST the stock .tot file.( Use LGNPST just to throw in the correct TWRP recovery and update partitions with TeenyBins ). I would recommend flashing the stock JB .zip file using TWRP recovery . (Created by SnowLeopardJB ). ) Check his thread.

Well, I opted to use LGNPST to flash TeenyBins and a TWRP that read my SD. Flashed the KitKat ROM just to try it, and it boots perfectly but I'm back to no SIM. So I'll be moving on to this new issue... haha

Haha, no I didn't. Between work and travel, I'm still trying to figure out this sim issue. It won't detect my sim on this ROM, or others it seems. I tried on a LiquidSmooth 4.3.1 ROM just now and it had the same issue. It's almost as if it has the detection set backwards. When I insert the sim, it thinks I've removed it and says ”sim removed." Then when removed, it says ”sim inserted” or something along those lines, and wants to restart. I'm at a loss, and I'm wondering why it could be doing this.

[Q] GT P7500: Is it bricked or something?

Okay here`s the situation.
My GT-P7500 a.k.a p4 is having a problem. Whenever I boot up, it will freeze at the boot animation, and power off if not charging and go to the charging screen if is plugged. I was using SlimBean when I had the problem, flashed AOKP and still the same. Next, when I get to recovery, wiping data takes a looooooooooooong time and never finished (Seriously 3 hours and nothing). Wiping cache`s fine. Tried using TWRP but then I`m stuck on the TWRP Boot screen. I reverted back to CWM but still the same. Is it bricked or something? Is there any solution? I`m hoping for an answer ASAP. Thank you...

had the same issue on my p4wifi...it is a corrupted file.
1) you can odin a rom..this will wipe the data completely
or
2) try to flash the last rom you were successfully on..then wipe the sdcardthis will wipe the data completelyand cache..dalvik. Then try to boot it up.
If second option doesnt work( because of the dirty flash ). Then i would either use odin or push a rom to the device and do a clean install.
Just had a brain storm..you could use twrp file manager to delete files you dont need. Might get lucky and its something you downloaded recently. ( wasnt a twrp recovery when this happened to me )

Here's a Link to sammobile. Just scroll down and pjt in your device in the search box on the right and pich the right firmware. You will need to make a free account with them to download.

Just for future reference..when you install a stock rom, like those from sammobile. It is usually needed to wipe data factory reset to get it to boot.
Sorry i didnt get back to you sooner..work is crazy, Lol
Glad you have it up...if you need any other help. Just post in my Q&A thread..I try to check it often.

[Q] Soft bricked, no OS or download mode, only TWRP please help

Long story short, hard bricked my phone to the point where it wasn't being recognize by windows and didn't turn on, found a way to restore it but not completely. It'll only boot into TWRP and there's no OS installed nor download mode. I've been up for the past day and a half trying to see what I can do, if anyone knows of a way I could manually flash recovery mode back with TWRP then I could flash back to stock. Or if there's another way that I can do this. Please I'm running out of options and I dunno what to do.

Can you simply use TWRP to simply flash a rom such as SD or Jasmine? That'd at least be a starting point I would think....

More info might be useful i.e. what did you do to cause the brick originally? How did you get twrp installed? What happens you flash a rom with twrp does it give you an error or what?
Also, if I may point out, both JasmineROM 7.0 and 8.0 include all the important partitions including laf.img which is the Download mode, so if yours is indeed missing or corrupt, maybe flashing one of those would solve it. I think right now you have more choices available to fix it with TWRP left on there, then with putting the stock recovery on.

Yes. Flash laf.IMG to restore download mode.
