Thanks for the help. Sadly restoring your efs does not fix Houston's job port call problem:/
Updated Optimus_G_Create_Flashable_EFS.zip to be "safer" and more universal among Optimus G devices.
Updated LS970_ZERO_EFS to include the "backup efs to flashable zip" feature to run before writing the ZERO EFS.
*UPDATE*
yet another edit..
I've decided to include m9kefs3 in the backup process. Even tho m9kefs3 seems to have all 00's and not be used... better safe than sorry.
Both the EFS backup and ZERO EFS zips have been updated in the OP to reflect this change.
Auto, would you be able to make a backup zip to make a backup of ALL partitions?
I actually signed the 2 year contract, I have gotten my first LG through craiglist, then got home and saw this, I did it and the radio worked right away, again great job guys.
Edit: I will start theming this baby soon.

I'm not sure this latest update is right.
It backed up the 3 img files to folder EFS_Backup, which all 3 were the same file size, 780kb. And it never created a flashable zip. I thought the second version did.
And if I were to follow the directions in the OP to restore... I don't think it will restore.
Am I missing something? Like the flashable zip that has the "backup????sh"?
Edit. I just reran it and still don't have the "efsbackupflash.zip anywhere.
I do see it in the ZERO.zip though. So do we use the Zero_EFS.zip to restore it now?
hmm. i just reuploaded the zip with a v4 at the end to make sure it was the new file.
i deleted my EFS_Backup folder on the /sdcard.. booted into recovery.. ran the zip... while still in recovery I used adb to check the /sdcard/EFS_Backup folder with the "ls" command and the efsbackupflash.zip, m9kefs1.img, m9kefs2.img and m9kefs3.img were all there. I rebooted into the rom and using Root Explorer I checked the folder again. Files were all there.. .zip + 3 efs files.
could u try running the new v4 zip? it should work. which recovery are u using? if you do "ls" in /sdcard/EFS_Backup theres no zip? While still in recovery(but after running zip) can you run "ls" in /tmp? still no .zip? can you get me the "recovery.log" file after you flash the zip?
autoprime just spent alot of time with me trying to figure out why I'm not getting the EFS zip.
Can a few of you with TWRP try this to see if it's just a me thing? It won't hurt your phone, just another backup.
You should end up with 4 files in the EFS_Backup folder, I think.
Edit. autoprime I hope you don't mind.

I'm using TWRP 2.3.2.3.
In /sdcard/EFS_Backup in recovery, it only shows the 3 img files. No zip
The tmp I have is ".tmp" and it has nothing at all.
Here's the recovery log.
edit: Theres no zip in Explorer either. Just the 3 img files.
You should update twrp it's been through some pretty good changes.

So if I'm reading this right, for simple minded people like me, make a backup with the backup zip. Then to restore, just follow that paragraph about restoring?
Does this mean that if I mess up my phone as far as reception, I could just use my backup to restore it? This stuff is way beyond me, so I gotta pick your brain.
Just ran on my TWRP 2.4.0.0 and 2.4.1.0 -> no zip file being created.
Switched to CWM and ran again, this time got zip.
Thanks for all the work!
So crazy question.... Can you use this to correct the radio in the Korean JB rom?
