[Q] Unable to do anything to a LG E973... [SOLVED]

Hi there,

This is my first post and I'm totally new here, so I would like to thank everyone in advance to help me out. I'm not much new to modding my stuff, beside trying to update the HP TouchPad, I though I could do wonders with my LG E973. I have already unlocked it a long time ago and it's been doing well until I finally decided to upper it for 4.3. from the official mod at CynaogenMod over here...

I have read any tutorial and pretty much basically a simple and easy follow step. As noted, it's already unlocked and I already use it for another carrier. http://true-android.blogspot.ca/2013/11/update-lg-optimus-g-e973-canada-to.html and a few others...

I did download the ROM Manager and even rooted it form the instructions here...

It all worked until that point, when I flash via ROM Managers and did a "recovery boot" using the volume + and power, I got this secure error boot and it got stuck in the LG mode... I thought I screw up or something...

I managed to reinstall everything from using the KDZ and it went again. I did a complete factory reset and try a few other times with the same error. I didn't really give up, maybe I miss something or unable to get the boot to install.

Then I found this...

It sound need so I give it a try and that was a huge mistake. Not only I got stuck in that boot menu, I'm unable to install any ROM (even adb sideload), it keep nothing missing MD5 file or whatnot. However, I can install the Google Apps, but nothing else. Loading it only have a Google image and that's it. After hours trying everything, I gave up and switch back to Download Mode, which I still can (thank goodness).

After in Download Mode, I did the KDZ quickly and it works for a few seconds and the phone reboot itself and it's back ti that loader. I try many times and I can't do it.

The only solution is to find a original .bin file to LGNPST it like I did before, but I already screw up everything.

I'm currently trying this method and it didn't work either...

I don't know what else to do. I have spend 12 hours and I haven't even figure it what I did wrong. I don't know what to do...

Hi there,

Oh, I finally got it to work. Thank you. I have to reinstall it again because I download the wrong GApps. *lol*

By the way, what is the EFS?

Anyways, for anyone who has the same situation as I am, the fix I did, putting the phone to "Download Mode", go to Control Panel and Device Manager and disable the Android modem then use the KDZ. It will work and it won't reboot it during the process.
