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.

Does it show up in windows device manager? Also if it was ever converted it might need nexus 4 drivers.

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?

Waiting for devices means it isn't seeing the phone. Did you install the drivers from Motorola properly?

Unplug phone from computer, install drivers on PC from link above, plug phone back in, and wait until Windows has finished updating the drivers.
Also, make sure you are using a USB port on the back of your PC, as this can make a difference.

My best suggestion is to follow all of the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423 It sounds like you probably have the first part done, so go with the "Proper Recovery" section once you're sure you have the prerequisites.

Power off your phone,and while connecting the phone to PC via USB,press and hold the volume down button.
The phone should now be in recovery mode.
I am pretty sure flashing the stock .ftf file will make your phone normal again.

I think the easiest way is to use LG mobile support tool. refer to this member post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456558&highlight=encrypt
- Boot you phone to S/W update mode
- Run LG mobile support tool (B2CAppSetup.exe)
- Select recover you phone from menu and wait for about an hour
- *Dont forget to comment lg server that you add in host file for offline flash
There're also other way to fix it, if you can boot into Stock recovery by Holding vol- + ... (I can't remember ), but this combo may hard reset your phone if you don't have stock recovery. In stock recovery mode you can use adb to push and replace busybox. I don't try this myself but some member unbrick their phone by this method.

I can only go to the recovery mode (I didn't install TWRP before rooting my phone ( That was a lesson for me)
I wanted to reflash the stock ROM (already had it) but my laptop & ADB didn't detect my phone since I wiped everything on the phone, even the ROM.
Can anyone please help me?

But you still can't connect your phone to your computer?
UPDATING MY PHONE (27TH.3.2023)
So basically I bought the new cable to connect it to computer, and it seems to work now [I knew it because I heard the Windows connecting sound]. But it wouldn't show Samsung J6 folder on computer for now. And I'm in the situation that when I pressed wipe cache partition in the recovery mode it would show:
E:[PDP] lstat /c____/pdp_b__ : 0 - No PDP scenarioI haven't tried going to the safe mode, but with the fact that I'm still stuck at the recovery mode right now (or reboot again and get bootloop) and it seems no one has the answer to the No PDP scenario right now, I don't really know what to do next
UPDATE AGAIN, IT'S ALL GOOD NOW (29TH.3.2023)
With my new cable, I just need to connect my phone to PC, open Odin again and flash ROM, that's it. My phone now is not rooted anymore but I don't think I want to root ever again. Still can't understand how I literally just updated Magisk and restarted my phone and...BOOM, got boot loop.
