First of all a huge thanks to Team Sextape for the MC2 release. Thanks to Calkulin for use of the install script. Thanks to Chainfire for SuperSU.
Flash this to get Deodexed/Odexed stock MC2 with latest root (SuperSU), su binary and Busybox 1.20.2. These Do Not include a kernel or any other firmware.
All of the zips wipe cache and dalvik for you so no need to do that separately.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.
I DON'T HAVE THIS PHONE SO PLEASE MAKE A NANDROID FIRST
This is a Jelly Bean Rom. As I stated earlier it does not include a kernel. So if you are coming from a Rom that isn't Jelly Bean you need to first install a Touchwiz based safe Jelly Bean kernel. So copy the Jelly Bean kernel to your phone. Boot into your recovery. Flash the Jelly Bean kernel and then flash this Rom. Or if you are using Odin just Odin the Jelly Bean kernel and install the Rom.

I am with you on that one... no need to do this if there is another just after.
But thank you for all your hard work. We all really appreciate it.
I've had to do several rounds of hands free activation to get data to work. :-/ Hopefully this is due to Sprint doing upgrades here in south Denver, but I doubt it.
Indeed thank you for your hard work.:good: always appreciate when someone can reuse the new leaks for those of is that are rooted.. you da man

OK thanks for pointing the error out. Download this updater-script.zip and open it up. Take the updater-script out of it and put it into the Rom zip. Location META-INF/com/google/android/. Try to install and it should work. Let me know good or bad please. If it works I will fix and reupload the full zip.

Changing the updater-script allowed me to flash this rom successfully. I looked in 'about phone' to see if anything was changed there but it looked the same. However, I know it installed properly because I was able to flash the MC2 Hotspot mod. Thanks for all your superior work on this even though you do not have a note 2. :fingers-crossed:

What your coming from wouldn't matter much. Stock is Odexed and Deodexed is mainly for theming and Mods. You can switch back and forth at any time. Remember that this doesn't include the firmware so you would want to install those separately if you choose to use the Rom. I am uploading new versions to fix the install error so I would wait for that. Also people have said there are some bugs in MC2. So that is up to you on whether you want to give it a try or not.

Odin or Flash this to get Deodexed stock EK02 with latest root and su binary and Busybox 1.20. This also comes with Chris's Stock CWM EK02 kernel. This does not include the modem. To flash the modem follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367695.
This does not wipe data.

Download
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have installed the proper XP or Win7 drivers before starting. Also, remove the SD card from the phone (this may not be necessary, but having the SD card installed has caused Odin to fail for a number of people, so might as well just do it).
1. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder
2. Open odin
3. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold v-down + power)
4. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)
5. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot.
6. You do not need to choose a pit file.
7. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Deodexed-Rooted-Busybox-CWM-EK02.tar)
8. Hit start. It will do its thing.
9. If it fails than try a new cable.
10. If the phone hangs for any reason take the battery and sdcard out and let it sit for an hour. Put it back together and try again.

Sorry if this may seem like a dumb question, you say Odin or Flash. If Flashing, is it as easy as just going into recovery and flashing as a zip like a ROM, or is there more to it?
What are the odds that overstew's ICS theme will work on this?

Edit: unfortunately The Ciano Universal Theme does not work over this. Wiped cache, dalvik, flashed theme. looked like it went through fine. rebooted from CWM but didn't get past first boot screen - pulled battery. Powered on, same thing. Went back to CWM to re-wipe and reflash(twice over itself) to try again, but same problem upon boot. oh well. There'll be plenty of options soon.

You should never flash themes, mods, roms etc that are built on different OS versions. It might appear to work but there are changes in the versions so you are basically trying to mix pieces of 2.3.4 with 2.3.6 which is a bad idea.
Thanks, understood. Had some backups at hand so I thought I'd give it a go. Thx for the rom!

Did this for the Galaxy SIII and figured I would do the same for the Note II as well.
This will take your phone back to UNROOTED stock as well as restore the STOCK RECOVERY, STOCK KERNEL, MC2 RADIO and FIRMWARE. It Will also RESET THE FLASH COUNT to no (0) and restore the official binary and system status as well. If you have updated to MK4 officially and have the MK4 KNOX bootloader with the "knox warranty void" status in download mode, this will REMOVE but NOT RESET it. So this is still perfect for a trip to the sprint store. Does exactly what an odin flash would without needing a PC. And unlike odin this gives you the ability to downgrade flawlessly from ANY firmware version. This is the ONLY way to come back from the dreaded knox upgrade.
NOW FOR THE INSTALL:
NOTE THAT FOR THIS TO BE POSSIBLE THIS MUST RUN COMMANDS THAT MOST ROM FLASHES DO NOT USE.
DUE TO THIS, USING GOO MANAGER AND ROM MANAGER TO INITIATE THE FLASH CAN CAUSE ISSUES. PLEASE MANUALLY BOOT TO RECOVERY AND START THE FLASH THERE.
As with most roms wipe data/factory reset prior to flashing!
I have always been a fan of clockworkmod recovery myself, but if using this I must recommend TWRP. On rare occurances, clockworkmod recovery has corrupted the cache partition when flashing this, causing issues with the second part of this restore. So use cwm at your own risk.
When finished you hit reboot as you would at the end of any rom flash but before the phone boots into the system it will automatically boot into my "special" version of TWRP and finish the process.(Which takes about 10 seconds).
When this is done you will be completely unrooted and back to square one with the exception of the internal sd card. (It will NOT be touched) So if you want to remain rooted then flash THIS (or click the little su guy below) after the restore zip before you reboot.
As far as I know there is only a 16gb version of the Note II for Sprint. If I'm wrong on that please correct me and note that this is ONLY TO BE USED ON A 16GB SPH-L900. This will most likely brick any other phone. And as always, FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK. As I am not responsible if this makes your phone melt. This flashes important partitions so verifying the md5 is recommended. Think that about covers it.

I was able to activate and update prl n profile but was still getting the chameleon force close if /carrier wasn't wiped before the flash. Seeing as how twrp doesn't have that option and most people prefer it over cwm, I am currently uploading a new version which will wipe the carrier partition too. With carrier wiped, coming back from lk8 was flawless

How would i do that
There are lines in the with in the roms.zip
meta-inf>com>google>android>updater-script>
assert(getprop("ro.bootloader") =="t999.......) and the three other bootloaders it checks for.
I'm guessing you can remove these lines and rezip and it will flash, but I am not going to do so, and don't plan on trying... I can remove those lines and rezip it for you to try and flash and see how it goes. I would put 20$ down that it won't harm the phone but not 600 (new) or 180 (insurance) lol.
Until someone else tries i will wait
I edit lines in there when roms fail to install cause they are specific to att, just incase anyone else really wants it, just post and let me know. I'm off til Thursday so I have time at some point each day to do so. if anyone with more knowledge wants to confirm let me know, so that there is more comfort to this.

This is a Plain Stock ODEXED Rooted ZVC ROM. It has Root and Qualcom app removed. If you need the ZVC radio, get it from HERE
Must have unlocked bootloader.
In TWRP, factory reset, then wipe /system, /cache, /dalvic, and /data. (Do not wipe internal data, /data/media - that's your SD.)
When it boots up, turn off Wifi. For some reason it always turns itself on when first booted up.
Then go to Settings>System Updates and update Profile, PRL.
Then Settings>Activate this device.

Thanks for this! I've been having endless problems getting ANYTHING to bring my device past a bootload screen or recovery. This managed to get through successfully and load (no data, but phone calls were OK) However it would constantly reboot anytime I altered settings. This, I believe is due to whatever issue it is I am having with the phone, and not this ROM. I was just pleased to find a original stock rom and actually see an OS on my phone (however brief it may have been)
I should also mention I had to sideload this as it was the only method available in my current situation. After a reboot it hung on the LG screen for a solid 20 minutes or so before moving onto the Sprint 4GLTE and then Android itself.
This upload at least gave me hope that no other rom had yet to achieve (that my phone's emmc or internal memory is just fried?!
Either way. Thanks again for your efforts

Odexed. The short and sweet..Odexed Roms are like from the factory. Deodexed is for theming. Neither one needs to hook to your computer. Odexed Roms are harder to modify/theme. Hope that helps you decide.

An unmodified, deodexed, ROM will boot up slower. Not quite sure on this part, but, it has something to do with how Deodexed isn't cached like odex, so it makes it a little slower.
If you're looking for the most stock experience, odexed will run like factory.

My anal-ness made me do this. And thanks to Shabbypenguin and xboxfanj, I got what I wanted.
What is different in this version is the kernel is straight from the ROM. So this Rom will have ALL the markings of stock. Kernel included. If you install this, relock your phone and un-root, it'll look like factory.
Also added is a flashable zip for the LG Stock Kernel. All LG Markings.
When I get time, I'll update the Deodexed version.
EDIT. You DO NOT have to use this if you downloaded a prior one. Unless you want to.
EDIT2. I forgot to mention, I did zipalign this version
Another, and the main reason I made this, is that this would be like a simple version of LGNPST. IT WILL NOT REPLACE LGNPST. But it may help to fix simpler problems.
For instance:
Flash ZVC modem in OP
While still in recovery flash ROM
Voila! ZVC ALMOST like LGNPST
You the man bro!

Just to be clear so you'll become unrooted if you flash this Rom

No. You'll still have root and you'll still be unlocked. You have to be both to flash it.
This'll just return everything to a bone stock rooted/unlocked phone.

Well I learned a lesson just now on how I should really step out of original dev thread more often and check this one out. I literally just finished lgnpst -_-. But my problem isn't fixed so I'm downloading anyway. Great job, this is needed more than people may realize.
Thanks to everyone working on the OTA, such as Savoca and Autoprime checking the OTA status.
The ZVA update has a lot of good and some bad things. I've "tinkered" with Samsung OTAs before and gotten them to flash but there was always a problem with Sprint's Chameleon implementation on Samsung that caused things not to behave the same when flashing the modified zip.
Fortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case with LG. :good:
So here are two ZIPs for your use. Use at your discretion and as usual, I give my standard disclaimer: Your phone, your flash, your responsibility.. not mine.

Why two versions? Both skip recovery and revert aboot image so that Loki can still work.
But during first set of tests I received an assert error on magazines.odex.
If you get this try the second one, in which I removed that assert and update.
If you get a build.prop assert error on the second you'll want to try and find yourself a stock version and flash again.
For me I had to do the TOT again to get it to work.
Now the other bits of information:
1) Both remove the device assert because TWRP doesn't use that model ID. So make sure you only use this on the SPRINT model.
2) I do recommend taking a backup before as I had some funky results after the update. One time system disappeared... another time took especially long to restart. After doing a second time it does seem to be working properly. So may not hurt to back up right after flashing the zip so that you have a good copy of ZVA to work off of.
3) You can stay rooted and you do not need to re-root afterwards. The first time I got a prompt from SuperSU to update the su binary, but not the second time. In either case root was not checked during OTA so you don't need to mess with it.
Any questions feel free to let me know. Again thanks to all and enjoy!

I want to also caution one thing at the moment. Those wanting to keep using AOSP ROMs should not flash ZVA at the moment.
At the moment it's causing a boot loop and several of us are trying to figure out what the cause is.
Awesome! Testing this now, I'll post my own results too.

One other precaution because it seems a person just bricked testing radio packages...
Don't be a hero. If it's acting up, go back to recovery and restore a backup or flash the ZV8 TOT.
Updates are cool and everyone wants it, but it's not worth bricking over.

Only question I can come up with is should folks be on stock rooted ODEX rom before doing this or is ANY rooted ODEX/DEODEX rom ok? If you don't know one way or the other, what where you on when you did it?
I am "assuming" by the stock statement you meant stock odex rom but figured I'd ask just to make it crystal clear for all. As we've seen in the last 24hr, crystal clear is very much needed.
Thanks!
Any chance this will for stock based ROMs?

@garwynn do you have the stock build.prop from the zv8 update? not the one from the stock rooted rom.

If you have debloated the ROM, it probably won't work. I ended up flashing the TOT (pure stock) to get it to flash.
I want to also caution one thing at the moment. Those wanting to keep using AOSP ROMs should not flash ZVA at the moment.

Sorry, didn't pull it before I flashed. Really should have.
If I flash it again today I'll pull it.

Sorry, didn't clarify the second. I tried stock odex ROM and didn't work. That's why I went the TOT route.
Wasn't able to flash. I got a bunch of asset errors.

yes stock rom with twrp
Flashed from stock rom with TWRP 2.6.3.3 using testupdate.zip with no issues. Did not need to use update 2.
If someone that has NOT ran this yet could, please post or PM me their build.prop from the stock + TWRP rom before doing the update?
Thanks:good::good:
