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.

New March 2 2014
New ZVC with all LG markings, kernel also. Only difference is it's rooted. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO UPDATE, unless you want to. With this, if you re-lock and then remove root, you will have a factory looking phone.
It is also zipaligned

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

Is this Deodexed or Odexed? Which ROM is more stock: ZVC_Deodexed_V2 or this? I want full stock rooted without having to hook up phone to computer.

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

1.EC09 Deodexed System Rom only, must flash over stock EC09. No Radio or Kernel included. Only scripts to Root and install busybox.
[EC09_Stock deodexed root+busybox.
exported from nandroid. full deodex and rooted in kitchen.
full system intact [bloat etc.]
Must have EC09 running.
reboot cwm recovery
wipe cache and dalvik
flash EC09_STOCK_DEODEXED.zip
reboot...
Now you can pull files to edit and theme. Using the tools found in theme section.

finally a post at last lol. when u get the kernal and radio going ill be testing it out for sure and ive always wondered is there a change log somewhere that shows the changes from eco7 to eco9

Hi,
I have some n00b questions that I would really appreciate some help on...
1. What is the significance of "No radio or kernel included."?
2. Why do I need these to move from EC09 Odexed >> EC09 Deodexed?
3. Where are these files? Can someone link me to them?
4. When I get them, how do I flash them in conjunction with the EC09_STOCK_DEODEXED.zip?
Thank you for taking the time !

What ROM are you currently running? If you're already on EC09, your task is simple; go in to CWM and flash the deodexed ROM.
No radio or kernel means you need to already be on EC09 before flashing this EC09 deodexed ROM.
The easiest way (in my opinion) to get the radio and kernel you need for EC09 would be to back up any data you'd like to keep (apps, texts, contacts, etc), revert back to stock DL17, do the OTA to get up to EC09, and then flash the deodexed EC09 linked in the OP through CWM.
Everybody should upgrade to MB1. i have rooted stock rom LJ7 4.1.1 before with cwm and just upgraded to MB1 4.1.2 .. i wasn't sure whether i should stay with 4.1.1 or not because i didn't want to mess up my phone but i'm glad i decided to upgrade it... My phone is so smooth now ..no lag or anything. i didn't even have to root it again after the upgrade. Just go to freeza xda thread. If your phone is rooted stock rom with cwm like mine.. just do the following below..
1. Download freeza Odexed MB1 zip and MB1 firmware zip. Then put them on you external sdcard. Boot to CWM
2. Wipe cache, wipe dalvik
3. Flash Firmware
4. Flash ROM
5. Reboot
BAM .. Your phone will be faster and everything will run smooth. Even my wifi tethering is still working.
I just want to share that with you guys.. good luck:good:

I had bad luck with MB1 and went back to LJ7. Phone was laggy, especially the animations, and battery life seemed to be worse. Tried both the stock OTA as well as the custom ROMs, and both dirty flashes as well as clean ones. Will be sticking with LJ7 until the next update.

My setup below is snappier than when I bought it new, with all the stock features and much more. TPR is super easy to dirty flash over TW, then theme it your way with Morphology. You might try it and you can always go back.

I have had very bad luck with KT747 kernel. Quadrant scores dropped from around 6100 to 4700 and Antutu scores dropped from around 11,000 to around 8,000. The entire device was laggy, especially animations. No amount of tweaking via the KTweaker app for governor settings and IO settings helped one bit. Even tried using the stock governor and scheduler with no help. I guess my device just doesn't agree with it.
The reason why I will not try TPR is because I simply don't like the theme it comes with and have no time or desire to mess with Morphology. The stock theme and icons are best IMO, and as far as I know, all the devs like to mess with the look of the ROM which isn't to my liking, For example, I hate the transparent dropdown notification pane.

My mantra is if it's not broken, don't fix. My 4.1.1 is working just fine, great battery life etc, so i see no need to update to MB1. All i did was flash the MB1 modem just to have the latest radio.
I see nothing in 4.1.2 to bother with.

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.
Link to ZIPs:
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Garwynn Projects/LS980/ZV8toZVA
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!
(Added 10:50 CST)
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!

If you have debloated the ROM, it probably won't work. I ended up flashing the TOT (pure stock) to get it to flash.

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

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

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!

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:

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.

This is what I am currently on. I can't get 3g. I just got a new screen. Its been busted since last June. I'm trying to switch to a new ROM or even stock, but I can't get my phone to flash the 4.4.2 gapps package. Can someone walk me through this and maybe post links? Any help will be appreciated.
Oh.. And Xbox gave me the new twrp zip. That allows me to actually flash the ROM but not the zip. (Status 7 error)

Maybe just a bad gapps download? Are you using Bank's gapps? Also, the picture you posted said Android 4.2.2, gapps 4.4.2 won't work with that. But if you have the updated twrp and are flashing a 4.4.2 rom, my best guess is 4.4.2 gapps was just a bad download.....

Ha ha yeah, that's no good. I think core is 25mb and standard(which you will probably want for most 4.4.2 roms) is 75-80mb. That's probably your issue. Until you get everything installed and working, I would make a backup of your current system even if 3g is borked so you still have something to revert back to. So once you download gapps, from twrp's main menu I would do the following. Go into backup and backup everything. Once that is finished go back to the twrp main screen and select wipe. Then select advanced and wipe everything except internal storage. So data, system, cache and dalvik all need wiped. Maybe even do it twice to make sure. Then install the rom, and then gapps, then reboot. As long as the downloads are good, you should be good to go! And always make sure you have the appropriate gapps version for the rom 4.4.1 rom needs 4.4.1 gapps, etc. And if you do go back to flashing stock, that shouldn't need gapps, only AOSP/CM based roms will. Good luck!
I appreciate it. I've been swapping back and forth with my backup. Finally got vanir installed but 3g still won't work. Can you send me a link to a stock jb ROM? I was told by Xbox I may need to update the prl and profile.

Yep, what he said and xbox is right. Once you get stock up and running make sure you make a backup for that and keep it safe - so you can update prl/profile for data or sometimes roms won't be able to get a gps lock. Again, you will have to flash back to stock and get a lock, then flash the rom and that usually fixes it. Backups make things so much easier. Go nandroid! And you are welcome, always glad to help over here in the lgog forums!

It totally is, wtf?
Here is the link to the zvc deodexed rom thread here.
Or the classic odexed stock zvc here.
Both links are working, just clicked em, lol. Odexed is stock, deodexed, read the thread but it allows you to theme the stock. I'd probably go with the second link because you are switching to another rom anyway.
You rock. Thanks for your help. Also should I do a backup of my current setup or do I need to reflash this ROM after getting 3g to work?

GO with the stock odexed. It's the closest to stock so less chance for errors.

If you used LGNPST and a stock zvc bin file you would, but the link is for a zvc odexed rooted rom. Basically stock zvc already rooted. As for keeping the backup, I would make a backup of the zvc rom(once you update and make sure everything works), and get rid of the other one after you backup that one. Then just flash your new rom and gapps, if you have any issues, you can go right back to a working stock and try again or something else.

No prob, Im having issues with my new linux mint 16 install, mdm failed and I couldnt boot so I was back and forth. Could only startx and cinnamon was running without hardware virtualization - SO slow on a dual core 1.7ghz vaio. But I disabled mdm login and all is back to normal. Thanks to you for picking up my slack earlier buddy.
EDIT: By the way @engine95, will he have any issue flashing that zvc rom from the updated twrp? I've never tried it and I think xbox gave him chad's twrp-geespr recovery(just guessing though).
I used LGNPST (sp?) when we first got jb to root. I haven't used this phone since July first. We didn't have zvc back then. I'm just wondering if I flash it will I lose root? I don't have a comp at the moment. Mother board crapped out.
Also the second link is dead. There's no download and the description says dead link. Lol

Edit 2. It is already rooted, so just flash and go.
You should have no problems installing with any TWRP. Not sure about CWM

Damn you are right again, I just made sure the link loaded to where it was supposed to go.....and ofcourse I don't think I have that on my hard drive, Im looking tho, if I do I will upload it....but engine is the one that uploaded it originally so maybe he has it or knows what's up..
EDIT: He beat me to it, but I'm downloading and saving it myself just in case. 846mb - I forget how big stock is!
Lol yeah stock is huge. So much unneeded bloat. Thank you guys for sticking with me and helping also having a sense of humor as well.

And no, you shouldn't lose root with this, it's already rooted. The stock zvc bin with LGNPST sets your phone back to factory including losing root. This should be zvc with root.

Anytime man, as Ive said multiple times, plenty of people, including engine, helped me when I first got this phone(and they continue to do so). Let us know how it goes!
I used to know a lot about phones but when I started going to school i dropped my guide status at android forums and stopped coming around all together. Now I got this phone fixed I wanted to make sure it completely works.

Yeah Ive been into computers for over 20 years but some of this phone stuff is still new to me. And the lgog is very different from my old evo4g, but I'm learning. I still need to get a new pc so I can start building roms myself. Well glad to have you here man, the ls970 is a great phone and has a great community behind it.
