I've been trying to get my LGOG which is currently in 4.0.4 to update to 4.1.2. I already have everything ready. I've installed all the software needed (LG drivers, Components, GenericModules, LGNPST 1.2), I have the .bin, and I have the .dll.
The only thing standing in my way is: LGNPST won't let me choose the .dll! I can select the .bin file, but not the .dll. I've been trying to get this to work for hours; I even stayed up until 4am trying to figure it out.
I searched around, and I found that I had to register the .dll file first in order for it to be detected by LGNPST, but it does not want to be registered, no matter how many times I try it. This error comes up everytime I make an attempt:
The module "C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\LGE970_20121005_LGFLASHv141.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure that "C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\LGE970_20121005_LGFLASHv141.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again.
I even went through attempting to register it through an escalated (Administrator-level) Command Prompt, to no avail. I don't know what to do; all I want is to update it to 4.1.2 but it's been so difficult for me. Would anyone please help? Any support will be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
P.S.
I live in the Philippines, so calling AT&T to push the update to my phone is an absolute no-go. Thank you!
That is a .DLL for use with another program called LGflashtool so it isn't compatible with lgnpst. If you use tStilenzio automated lgnpst it will register the DLL on install. Unzip it then right click on .bat file to run as administrator ( it will say LS970 DLL but it works fine).

I've also tried his LGNPST, but it still doesn't want to work. When I use his, only one DLL is available: the one called LGNPST_Utility3.dll which is the last file found in the Components 3.0 folder, and not the one for the E970. When I tried to flash the stock ROM using the Utility3.dll, it errored immediately; I tried that about 3 or 4 times.

hello i got a similar problem the dll wont register an my at&t e970 is brick do you think it will work with the LS970 DLL?
Jesus you really need to go to the irc channel and be patient for someone knowledgeable to come along. If you got that far, your own lack of reading comprehension has posited that question in your brain. If you had read the instructions, you'd know that's the correct dll.

If anyone has the LG Thrive KDZ I would really appreciate it if you can send it to me. My phone got messed up and at this point this appears to be the only way to fix it, but I can't find the KDZ
This should work for all LG phones
those links don't work anymore...
Actually doesn't matter now. AT&T is going to be sending a replacement. Even the master reset they told me to do couldn't get the thing to go past the LG screen. Now lets just hope they don't say I did something to violate the warranty...

Yes they do. You can either follow the directions under "How to get stock FW" or use the downloadable tool that finds the firmware for you.

Hi
I Just got myself an optimus G, whoever i got it from forgot to tell me the device is rooted and is running another rom, not the stock.
Anyone knows how do i restore to stock?
I found what supposedly is some version of the stock rom-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067871
but now i see i need cwm for it. which i currently don't have.
So i searched further and found this-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1979996
Which is perfect for my needs, but- "read the instructions!"
I would, if there were any. I'm not saying anything and everything should include a mountainload of details and steps, but it would be helpful if some of the threads here would include a line or two of explenation for LG noobies. I see people tell others "use fastboot" as it's a given. I have no idea what that even means, and searching did not help much as well...
Any help would be appreciated, i need to get this stock asap, supposed to be a gift.
Thanks.
If you're running another rom shouldnt you have a custom recovery?
And if you just want to start fresh go to free node irc channel #lg-optimus-g and at the top is a link for lgnpst just follow the guide there

I have no idea how they did it, but when i boot up there's a startup similat to the nexus. On the other hand, the rom still says "AT&T" and the LG UI is present+it's rooted
Hopping on to the IRC. i already have LGNPST an the .TOT file, just need whatever DLL's that are mentioned...
I haven't actually used the guide but I'm not in a state to guide anyone through the process at the moment so I will just say follow the guide as well as you can. If I remember right that's the automated version so it should set everything up for you, but I've never used that one so I'm unsure. If you have questions ask in irc or wait till about noon and ask. There's usually a lot of people on at that time
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks.
I actually got everything and the instructions, only problem is that the damn thing won't go into download mode (unless the fastboot thingy IS download mode, but then i don't know why LGPNST doesn't recognize it...)
Try to unplug it, turn it off, hold volume up and down then plug it in and tap the power button

I think the reason why is because LGNPST is copyrighted software which means XDA doesn't want to provide access to as they'd be violating the DMCA as well as risking pissing off LG who's software it is.

The first thing to learn before root your phone is flash KDZ in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344.
After you understand how to flash KDZ and successfully flash LG stock P768f v10e on your phone, you can root you phone with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173465
The hard part is hex edit .bin file. If you understand how to edit it other steps just run script and replace edited file while KDZ tool flash .bin to your phone.
If your phone isn't root after doing all steps, it may happen from a little mistake in some step. Lelus' root method also work on new ROM update (V20?) so if you understand it you can root P768f JB rom that will come in our next update.

I see. For now, there is no one click solution for rooting L9. If You want to root your phone you must follow those guide and if you don't understand some steps you can ask in the forum. In most case you will not brick your phone just because you flashing KDZ.

The guide may seem intimidating at first due to it's length, but once you get a general idea of what you are doing it is actually pretty simple.
If it helps I will try to explain it in layman terms so you can get a better idea of what is happening:
As far as I know, the Australian P768F still has ICS, so you will be using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173465
What's Happening (General Idea; Doesn't include the small details of setting it up):
Essentially what you are doing is tricking the LG Update Tool to 'update' your phone. Instead of the LG Update Tool connecting to a LG server and applying an update , we create a 'small server' on our computer so we can instead redirect the Update tool to install files that we have on our computer (which you will download as you follow the guide).
In the actual installation process, the LG Update tool will apply the KDZ (think of it as the phone's OS I guess) and then install some files. At some point in the process, you will also see the Update tool install some bin files that are numbered. It is here that we will replace one of the bin files with a 'modified' bin file that allows us root access.
Note: Since I can't seem to find an edited bin file (why we need this is explained above) for the P768F, you will have to create your own following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38750385&postcount=47
Cheers for all your help guys, ill either give it a go or wait till one click comes out. Also the Australian S3 currently has a one click, correct? ill probably root my brothers for him.

That's the ICS tot. You might be able to find it in the general thread. There is also a link in the topic on the irc channel...just not sure if it still has ICS or just JB.

Yeah I know what it's for. The reason I need it is I did another version and it made my wifes phone a Korean version for some reason and now it won't do the OTA updates because it has an authentication error now because of it. So I wanted to go back further and just let the OTA for JB install and her phone be back to normal. It also changed her IMEI number.

you cant flash a bad tot because lg flash runs a crc check on the tot first before it flashes it. tho an md5 on the tot.zip may save a few minutes in extracting if you have a bad download.
