hello well first off i just finished troubleshooting the **** out of my phone and i see lots of others are having issues as well and its all scattered. so i am going to post my method which should get you updated with MT's AIO which also includes a fix for those who are having permission problems with the AIO.

(this is optional and for those who were having problems with permission errors using AIO on GV 2.0) (skip below for first step of getting to zv7)

first off the main thing that I figured out is that if you are on GV2.0 the kernel by default (at least for me) disables logcat which gives many problems with MT's AIO solution with the error cannot open dev/log/main with all the permission problems with rooting / unrooting on GV2.0. So for those who are having that issue here is the fix:

open root explorer

go into /system/etc/init.d/12gvtw

long click then open up text editor

go to where it says rm /dev/log/main and change it to

#rm /dev/log/main

then save and then reboot which should fix the permissions errors.

now doing that enabled me to be able to have success with the AIO to prepare for the update to zv8 while on GV 2.0 ...

but then I ran into another problem after that was that the OTA update would fail. most likely because the boot.img was not stock (this is just a guess, probably other reasons as well)

----------------------

but what worked for me was going completely stock gingerbread.

so for this fix I simply went to this thread to get completely to stock zv7

I then downloaded the nandroid and followed MT's instructions steps 1-6

1.) Download the .zip & make sure 4g is enabled.

2.) Place zip in external sdcard

3.) I recommend to wipe data to prevent any problems

I want to emphasize that you SHOULD WIPE DATA NOW AT THIS STEP IN CWM BEFORE IT GETS TO STOCK RECOVERY.

4.) Go to install zip from sdcard

5.) Select RevoZV7GBStock.zip

6.) Reboot

then after that my phone booted up completely stock (with stock boot.img) and wiped data with root still enabled.

then I went to this thread to get MT's AIO zv8 and followed the steps 1-5 (steps 6 and 7 will be completed later)

1) Download zip and extract

2) Install drivers if not already installed

3) Make sure you are on stock ZV7

4) Click Root&RecoveryAIO.bat

5) Select "Prepare for Update"

then the phone rebooted and was at stock recovery and unrooted and was completely stock but with the added the data/local.prop edits.

so then I went to this thread to download Broken Out Rom from my computer and followed steps 1-2 (steps 3-9 will be completed later) before i completed the AIO process steps 6-7 stated earlier.

1.) Download the .zip & make sure 4g is enabled.

2.) Place zip in external sdcard

So now you should have your phone completely unrooted with stock recovery with Broken Out Rom downloaded on your phone's sd card (not installed yet).

You are now ready to go to get the OTA update. (step 6)

go to settings > about phone > software update > check new

then you should have the OTA update successfully installed when it reboots.

you now have zv8 installed with no root or cwm.

then i went to MT's AIO for zv8 and clicked option 7 which is too root zv8.

then the phone gave me an error on AIO when trying to root but then CWM still got installed at the end of the AIO process.

so the phone then booted up with no root but CWM was installed but could not get into recovery mode using quickboot to recovery option on the phone due to no root access..

for this fix I then opened up MT's AIO for zv7 found here under step 2 of "How do I completely Return to Stock"

and then clicked option 7 which is reboot recovery. this booted my phone into recovery.

then I went to continue the process of installing Broken Out Rom (steps 3 and 4 are skipped because we already wiped data initially above)

5.) Go to install zip from sdcard

6.) Select BrokenOutRevo1.1.zip

7.) Do not wipe data after flashing!!!

8.) Reboot!

9.) To Block CIQ Logs Requires Reboot After Initial Boot

You should now have a fully rooted zv8 phone with CWM and can give yourself a pat on the back.

if i forgot to mention things please let me know. this was just my process which worked after much troubleshooting so i thought i'd share it with you all.
