Help! Phone softbricked! - Sprint LG Optimus G

If anyone can help that would be awesome!
I've installed LGNPST from the IRC (autoinstall) All drivers are up to date as well.
My problem is my phone reboots at 67% (I know it's supposed to hang at 85%) and wont go past the sprint boot image, screen is "on" but black with lit up touch buttons that vibrate every so often... but stays at that.
Thanks in advance for any help
*********EDIT**********
So saw the lock screen flash very quickly and status bar pop up momentarily, gives me hope but still can't get it to flash properly...
*********EDIT**********
Problem solved, thanks Shellnut2!

ALL questions even those involving development or , help (which most are) belong in the Q and A section. Development is for a developer to post something or someone who discovered something that can be useful to development to post

So what happened was after an initial LGNPST where it stripped root from my phone, but left all user data and apps on it, i attempted to re-root to try to remove unwanted apps
I used the AIO tool, and for some reason it didn't push the root files correctly, and really muddled up the firmware.
So after about 15 failed attempts to reflash stock, Shellnut2 on IRC thought it could be a problem with cashes, so he had me walk through Binarys root method, something went right with that cause the second it finished pushing SU my phone rebooted about 3x and was in working order again.
(And im fairly certain that my problem with LGNPST was a sub par usb cable)

Okay sorry, anyway could a mod (if they even exist on this forum) move this to Q&A that would be appreciated.

yes, wrong forum, and I saw you working on it last night. I might post a big guide on everything you can do so far, including this. I will probably put in under general, but it might be enough to be in development

Ya ya im a pain.hehe and Interlerloper,th3bill,Jokersax and more are on there way. And the non dev section of the LGOG is not non active there is a ton of crap in the other section all answered here were people don't even look i guess.

ClockworkMod 3.0.x.x

Ok what does this one fix?
Hopefully fixes the flashing issues people on different hboots are having. I had to restore 2.5.0.1 with the PC36IMG.zip just so I could flash anything at this point. Did anybody else have this many problems with previous 3.0 builds?
i'm having the same problem as you. currently very frustrated
3.0.0.3
im testing as we speak with cm7.will report
It still sucks. I downloaded cm6.2 and it flashed it but refused to flash the gapps that were downloaded along with the rom. Sucks. Starting to regret donating
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Issues out the ying-yang with all the 3.0.x.x builds. I went through Koush's site and found all the files for Clockwork.
Here is the image you can flash through fastboot...
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-supersonic.img
http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-supersonic.img
Here is the flashable .zip. Should be able to flash this through the borked recovery. If not, use the above.

Here is the page that I got these from. There are more versions in there too...

I think he's implying the proper area in said "forum".....this should definitely be in General!
Thanks -viperboy-. I have flashed back to 2.5.0.1 and all is working. I'm just curious what the newest version is changing. I'm sure they are seeing and reading about all the problems we've been having with the newest update. Which, by the way, is the reason that I posted this post here. It will obviously be seen by more eyes. Hopefully the right eyes.
We need a definitive answer to all these questions. We need to hear from ClockworkMod what versions we should use on what devices.
Have you checked his thread for clockworkmod? You would probably get a lot more responses posting in q&a instead of cluttering the dev section.

This is getting old, what kind of ****in high horse do you ride? We Dont need forum police, if someone posts in the wring goddamn section, so be it it, people are here cuz they need help and maybe Dont know the proper forum to seek it. Give em a damns break, and stop using your puny 'post comment' button to make you feel like you got something in your pants. If toast has a problem with it, help say it! You are not a mod cheezynuts.

Quick Question....

I know it's supposed to go in Q&A, but.... I know I'd get a quick one time response.
If I want to undervolt, do I need to install a kernel other than the stock one in order to do so with setcpu or CPUBoost?
Yes, you need a custom undervolted kernel.

The bad part about asking in the wrong section is the information isn't available to someone else with the same question "they will be looking in Q&A" which is what the forums are for this also clutters up the forums aside from the fact it makes more work for the mods.

Help help help ...

Ok so I will try to explain with all the details as I can and thanks for your help
I was rooted with S-off and everything was fine. Was testing some ROM recently when my phone yesterday morning started rebooting on its own. I tried to unplug the battery and go into recovery but it kept rebooting. When i say rebooting it means it went to white screen with htc logo then few seconds with black screen then back to white screen and so on. I tried everything with no avail. Tried RUU from sprint but that did nothing and same problem (only updated my hboot from .93 to 2.02) and when I tried another one the first RUU from sprint available it makes my phone vibrate 5 times and then green light flashing with black screen.
I cannot get into recovery at all. Cannot get ADB to connect and I get fastboot remote not allowed if i tried to erase recovery. Tried to flash recovery several times with no help using Hboot and PC36IMG.zip. Please help me if you can and thanks in advance.

someone would have helped him by now if it was in the qa section, now he's either going to get some bad advice or everyone will just ignore his question
Most likely, this will get moved to Q&A anyhow, and btw, I come to the Dev section last and I DO follow the speed limit (+ about 1% over) and use my blinkers at every turn....

[Q] Flashed New Caulkins 2.0, and now phone won't boot

So, I flashed Caulks new EK02 Rom, and, when I went to restart, phone is stuck on boot screen; Wiped everything as normal before flashing, but stuck on the yellow triangle screen.
I tried all the normal stuff to get into recovery, but phone won't go past the initial boot screen.
I have a mac computer, and thats all there are in the house, so I can't use Odin..
Can someone help me get the phone back to a state where it starts up?
Thanks so much for your help!

First of all, this is the ONLY thread I made for this question; I made a post in the thread where the rom was located to make the dev aware of the issue
I'll be watching you closely, for when you have a serious issue and ask for help, to make sure you don't post it more than once..
And, BTW, I used Heimdall on my own, without your suggestion; I've been flashing phones for longer than you've probably been on this earth...

The magical search button and your firmware notification

Hey everyone,
I've noticed about 500 new posts a day saying, "I'm rooted and go an update notification. It's probably JB, should I take it?"
I'm here to help you out.
1. It's not JB. When it does come out you'll see people by the names of Freeza, zanderman, MrTimz, TEAMERA, clark44, etc get very excited and post about how awesome it is that JB is out. We'll be more than happy to at that time. Googling tech blogs and such will also help you stay on top of developing news of this nature.
2. If you have a custom recovery go ahead and accept. The installation will fail and everything will be fine upon reboot. If you have a stock recovery you can update but will probably lose root. Root again using normal methods.
3. The only JB out is leaked build that you would have to install normally.
4. Feel free to flash these builds to try them out and stop asking if you should. It's safe but ultimately your decision, not ours.
5. Stop posting in the dev section. Those of you who can't yet, it's for good reason, not to be mean. The only things you should post in the dev section are Roms, kernels and modifications to Android that you created.
6. If you aren't sure of something and don't want to sound silly, PM an experienced member. I've never had a question posed to me on here that I wasn't happy to help answer within my abilities.
7. Enjoy the place but please stop cluttering it up with the same question over and over. The search button will reveal that you probably weren't the first to ask your question. If you are, then kudos, feel free to post it in the Q & A section to be handled.
Thanks! Love ya guys!
