Instructions:

1) Go here: http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/sho...6971#post16971 and find the download link on the page

2) Extract the .tot file out of the zip file you just downloaded

3) Rename the .tot file to have a file extension of .bin

(so now the name should be LGE960AT-00-V10c-NXS-XX-OCT-25-2012-JVP15Q-USER+0.bin)

4) Install LGNPST if you haven't already, and the necessary drivers

5) Start LGNPST

6) Connect your phone by putting it into download mode and connecting via USB cable

You can do this by holding Power + Volume Up + Volume Down

7) Wait until your device is recognized by your PC

8) Where it says DLL File select the lgnpst_ls970.dll one

9) In the file selector below that, select the .bin file you renamed before

10) Start the flashing process

11) Let it complete. It should hit 85% and then come up with an error saying the device was disconnected; thats fine, just close out of LGNPST

At this point your phone should be booting with the Google Nexus boot animation

12) Wait for it to boot up. If it doesn't boot in 5 minutes or so, or you just want to start fresh, continue on. If it boots up and you are happy with it, continue to the "Further Notes" section of this guide.

13) If it isn't booting, get into the Nexus bootloader by holding Volume Up + Power.

14) Make sure that "FASTBOOT MODE" is in red on the bootloader and connect your phone again

15) Run the following fastboot command:

fastboot -w

This will wipe ALL of your data. Essentially it is a factory reset.

16) Press the power button to select "START" in the bootloader and cross your fingers

17) It should boot now all the way through.



Further Notes:

- You can now flash anything Nexus and it should work aside from the issues mentioned above

- Flashing other kernels isn't really recommended; I've had some touch issues with some of them, but there should be no harm in trying

- To install a custom recovery:

Download any Nexus 4 recovery you want (I prefer TWRP)

Reboot into the bootloader using Power + Volume Up

Run this command:

fastboot flash recovery <path-to-recovery.img>



How do I return to stock?

Download this zip: http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/...-29-2012-0.zip

Follow the same procedure as above in flashing the .bin in LGNPST

It should return your device to 100% factory state



Future Notes:

I will continue to work on this method. I will be working on a modified mako tree and fix all the issues that are currently present (hopefully) as mako is fully open source. I have already fixed the volume keys bug (was an easy one, thanks SnowLeopardJB) and I think I also have fixed SDCard mounting. LTE still has to be tested as I am not in an LTE area, but if it isn't working (which it 99.9999% wont be) there's an easy fix for it, from what I hear as well. I'll post workarounds tomorrow when I get some time.
