Many non Noobies seem to be running across the same problems with rooting ZV8 updates. The answers are spread across three different threads so it seemed worth putting them all in one place up front.

First, big thanks MT for putting all this up so quickly.

If you are still on ZV7, first try

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1566729

However, I and many others have not been able to get an over the air update (step 6) to succeed and/or get a lot of permission denied errors in the All in One batch processes. If you can't get an OTA update to succeed first try

OR

Use root explorer to create /data/local.prop and type ro.kernel.qemu=1 then save it.

If the OTA update works, you're good, continue with MT's instructions, but SKIP OPTION 1 "Prepare for Update"

If, like me and many others you still can't get an OTA update to succeed Alternative 2 is the LGPST method here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466655

Again, the key is to not loose Clockwork Recovery. As long as you have done the create local.prop step and not done the All in One Option 1 "Prepare for Update" The LGPST ZV8 push will not erase Clockwork Recovery. Then you have ZV8 with Clockwork Recovery and you can get MT"s Broken Out v 1.1 here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1577423

Or get back to a nandroid backup or rooted ZV7 to start over

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1348637

If you loose Clockwork Recovery or otherwise run into trouble, the sure fire way to get back on track is to go back to ZV7 and start over. Personally, reading through all the forums and despite several attempts, I was never able to get an All in One batch process to root ZV8, always permissions denied. But I was just trying to ZV8 with Clockwork Recovery to get to Broken Out anyway.

UPDATE 4/3/12

Another option for regaining CWM if you use LGPST

MT is looking for ZV7 testers for an easy update

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24416908&postcount=86

I'm more than a Noob, but far from an expert, so if this contains errors or doesn't deserve it's own thread, feel free to suggest removal!
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
Appears that you DO lose CWM with LGNPST. I just tried your method and I no longer had CWM. Maybe you missed a step in the OP? Otherwise, I lost CWM when I pushed ZV8 TOT. Also, just so you know, I did check/test CWM just prior to pushing and it worked just fine. :(

EDIT: I wanted to clarify and emphasize "Appears" in my reply above. Your method may work perfectly fine, but I had nothing but troubles getting things to work...

yes am back to zv7 now trying to figure out how to do the all in one update steps from mt. it seems in the "prepare for update" steps it fails on copying local.prop or whatev its called.
[LG Revolution] Cutterstark:
That is the same problem I had. Try the copy local.prop option described above and bypassing the prepare for update.

better yet, contact MT, he is working on an easy solution and needs ZV7 testers

[LG Revolution] surfmly:
what if I am on zv6 still?

Son's Revo asked bout v8 OTA today. Didn't want to do it as I figured it would lose root. Currently we are on v6 and rooted (via AIO). Never went to v7, and now with v8 am trying to figure out how to get to v8 and keep root.

Do I need to get to v7 first prior to trying to get to v8 while keeping root or is there a way to go directly to v8 while maintaining root?

I posted in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25188375#post25188375 about trying to get to stock v7 not working for some reason so won't go into that here, but thought I would ask about a way to get to v8 with root WITHOUT having to go to v7 first.

I have a solid nandroid (which I just had to use to get a working phone again) I can use so don't mind testing things.

Thanks for any ideas...

***EDIT***

I went ahead and went to stock v7, rooted, and followed the v7 to v8 (save root) process MT created and all is well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] KingVekxin:
Ok well the migration time is coming, not an upgrade just a move on... I'm thinking between the HTC One-X and the Samsung Galaxy Note... I'm kind of stuck between the two because I do want a bigger phone than my infuse (I have bad eyes and have glaucoma so a bigger screen is a definite plus). Even though it is a plus its not all I'm looking for. I am looking for screen, specs, build (solidity of the device), company reputation the whole shabang :) I'm leaning towards the HTC one-x but then again the note is quite tempting :) so any advice will help, and thanks again XDA :) for everything.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
I moved to Verizon and got a Galaxy Nexus a couple months ago and while it was by NO means a downgrade, I did notice the slightly smaller screen size compared to my Infuse. However, IMO the Note is a really big phone, if you use your phone one-handed a lot you might enjoy a smaller phone like the One X, the specs for the international version are amazing. Others who moved to the Note might have a completely different outlook, that's just my 2 cents...

I have a tablet also so I want a phone that is a reasonable size; when I want a bigger screen I move to my tablet lol.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] KingVekxin:
Yea I understand where you're coming from lol the note is huge, I played with one in best buy and put my infuse up to it and just walked away without saying a word lol. Its a giant phone, a little too big for me because with my infuse I can type comfortably with one hand and with both if in a more leisure like environment, but I tried the note and it was far too much a stretch for me, I have never gotten my hand on a galaxy note though, all I know is what I've heard about it with battery life and what not, that steered me away from it and Verizon. So I may go with the One-X because of the specs and slightly larger screen over this infuse
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Agreed the Note is great if you don't mind holding it with both hands lol

The GNex definitely does not have the best battery life stock, I ranged 10-12 hours on a charge, but I got if for the Nexus experience/development and LTE so I can't complain. I got the flush fitting extended batt and flashed the CM9 nightlies and I can easily get >= a day on a charge.

You know I didn't even think of the One X's 4.7 screen lol still it's definitely a badass phone, go for it man.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] KingVekxin:
I probably will go for that One-X because I can't afford that verizon bill right now lol it gets me that it doesn't have a micro sd slot though, that really just sucks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Unfortunately, it seems that an SD card slot has fallen to the bottom of the to-do list for a lot of the newer phones, the Gnex doesn't have one either. Most likely b/c of the **** ton of cloud services available, hell I had a 16gb card in my Infuse and never even got close to filling it, all my movies and music are on the cloud now :cool:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] KingVekxin:
What's a good cloud service?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
For storage there's Box, Dropbox, Sugarsync, Asus Webstorage (from my Transformer Prime), and Amazon Cloud Drive. That's just off the top of my head. I also use Play Music to keep my music on the cloud.

Has anybody else noticed just how much better Sense sounds? I flashed Joelz's CM9 kang and took a drive in my truck. Sense has a lower more responsive bass and overall a more rounded sound. There are entire drum beats I'm not hearing on ICS. I noticed this on the earlier builds too, so it's not specific to this one.

I've been messing around with DSP manager, but I still can't seem to get that sound. Anyone have a good DSP setup they're willing to share?

Ok, this has got me stumped. I've been playing around with a Samsung SCH-i110 aka Illusion, and for some reason I can't access its EFS or radio settings and what not via USB Diagnostics. Yes, the port is there in device manager, all of that goes as would be expected.. However, in cdma workshop, qpst, *anything*, no communication. I know its not the 'puter, for its doing the same thing on 3 different PCs. Are they locking down USB Diagnostics now? Another thing that struck me as odd, is that the handset shows up in Odin whilst booted up normally.. I thought you had to be in download mode for Odin to recognize the phone.

You should go to mnt/sda1 to view your files. Not usbstorage if thats where youre looking..

And plz confirm if the mount is successful or not after you mount it through that app. It should show the drive space total and occupied.

About the fc Im not sure cuz Im on imilka's. Never faced any in that app. Maybe try to wipe that app's data..

Edit: When it mounts it also shows the place where it is mounted. Try to look at that place maybe you see your files there wherever it mounts the drive

anonymous572,

As active writer in the thread you quoted in post #8 (and eagerly waiting to move to ICS without losing my NTFS formatted card access), I did not exactly got what you wrote.

The presented procedure is intended for Gingerbread, not ICS. I wonder then what did you manage to get working on ICS using this process. Apart if the edit text explains that without applying the procedure, you managed, as said by dead-angel, using LP5 kernel NTFS support is native.

Can you be a bit more explicit?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] miimKay:
actually LP5 kernals has the required drivers for USB Host mode (OTG) to work on ICS with LP5 kernal installed,

the NTFS support is just a modified script and driver to mount NTFS formatted card or whatever storage media..

That modified script to Initialize the NTFS driver is provided by the app Drive Mount (link in OP)

I hope you got the answer you were looking for.
