Those who like me ended up wiping our MEID's might just want to do what I did. I took it to the local Verizon repair store, the key thing is that is has to be one that is capable of doing the phone servicing, so a lot of the smaller stores won't be able to help you.

The sales person tried to reprogram the phone via bluetooth, which of course didn't work, and he tried taking it off my account and giving it a dummy ESN but that didn't work either.

Long story short, I will have my replacement phone tomorrow by 7. If you get there before 5 you will have the replacement to your house next day via FedEx if the store doesn't have the Ally in stock, which was the case for me.

I would advise of course loading everything back to stock, and what I did was say I got a message about an OTA and after the update it didn't work for anything. Play dumb, they didn't really ask me anything else.

Good luck to everyone else with the similar problem!

QXDM works but you need to do other shit to get it to work. and CDMA workshop does not work. Tried and failed. I know how to do it but it is illegal to discuss here on the forums

Hey Death, this was just a thought to possibly add to your tutorial. Someone on another forum had said if I had done a backup that I would have been able to restore a NVS file. I don't know if that's something that might be helpful to some people to add in how to do a backup of your phones current state prior to attempting the method, or if that's a feature from a completely different piece of software. I'm not familiar with this stuff, it was just a thought.
 
So Death..... can I pm you for some advice?
Never mind, I just called verizon and I get my newly refurbished ally on wednesday. Awesome!
 
Ummmm...wasn't there a thread in the Optimus M section of the forums dealing with LGNPST that recently got deleted and the poster was subsequently banned for questioning it's removal? Why is this thread acceptable and that one wasn't? Just sayin'.
 
He got banned because he questioned the integrity of the mods and reposted the thread. instead of standing by like he was asked to do. AND he originally got approval for it. As to why it was deleted i dont know. but until this thread gets deleted i figure its here for those who need it. if you wish to report it then you know where the button is at, just sayin'
 
Yes I do know where it is and have utilized it. Only seems fair that if one of two threads dealing with the same programs and files, is not acceptable then neither should. Also, not that you were following the Optimus M threads but if you were, the OP of the LGNPST thread did not repost a duplicate thread nor did he question the integrity of any of the mods. Not to throw anyone under te bus, but it was asadullah that both reposted the lgnpst files and also made mention about androidforums being "infiltrated by members of cdmagurus". I'd love to see this thread stay and the other to return as they both are very helpful and informtive, but it just doesn't seem right for one to stay and one not. It's nothing personal, but the principal of it all.
 
Im sorry, I have nothing against andyo70 he posted a great guide and i was sad to see it get shut down. I would also like to see it get posted back up. I agree with you on the principal. of it. i went back and viewed the deleted thread again and saw i was wrong andyo70 WAS NOT at fault. I wish i knew why his thread got removed. It was originally approved by EarlyMon.
 
While it is forum policy not to comment on individual moderation issues in public, I can say that the thread referred to was not removed due to the general content therein.

I'm sorry I can't be any more specific, but there are one or two issues surrounding it which require an "okay" from the site owner and admins before it can be reapproved.
 
Man, I can't believe all the squabbling, only the poster and the one who flagged it for removal know exactly what and why it was removed. We can speculate all day long without actually knowing. Beside which, isn't this an Ally based thread? I'm no genius but isn't that a little like comparing apples to oranges? I could see there being a good reason for that posts removal if the method were in question, not the tools. I don't mean to break anyones stones about it or anything, it's just I'd like to keep on topic with this thread, not make assumptions about another one. Thanks Death2All for your work, and (because I'm sure he has seen this whole thread by now) thank you Trident for your software and guides, without which I would still have a crappy little stock phone instead of the ass-kicking device I enjoy so well!
 
When I try to start LGNPST upgrade or whatever it says I have to input the SPC of my phone can anyone help me?

Fixed almost immediately thanks to d2a in irc. Thanks everyone.
 
I'm having an problem with using LGNPST..followed the instructions but when my phone is plugged in it shows in the model as unknown. the provision tab is on emergency and I cant click on upgrade because it is greyed out.

Any ideas on what I should do would be appreciated.
 
No it is still normal an d usable. I have VS740ZVB on the phone. I tried tridents method to start over but I get a fatal error on the LG updater. Since I was almsost to C I tried from step 26 on and flash the stock recovery.img and then on reboot it dl/s a 24.9 meg update without me having to do the #*#*CHECKIN*#*# thing. When its done I reboot and nothing has changed, still VS749ZVB. I do checkin but it says i'm up to date, no updates. I have to do the recovery.img all over again to get anything. I then tried your method. It either shows my phone as unknown and I cant click the provision tab off of anything but emergency, or the couple of times it does recognize my phone as VS740 I get everything setup on the provision tab like it says in your doc, hit start, and it runs for a few seconds then crashes and throws an error saying it can't load the LGNPST-PostManager.dll which is there in the correct directory.

Kind of stumped since I can't get it th VS740ZVC I cant update to froyo, and I can't undo it to start over.
