[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Freeze the updater in /system/apps

EDIT**** Could kill bluetooth. turn on bt before freezing the just in case and don't turn it off or you may not be able to turn it back on.
[LG Revolution] Dark9781:
If you haven't updated to V9 yet you could try getting OTA RootKeeper from the market. It can save a backup of your root that can be restored after the update. Used it to keep root on my sister's Revolution.
[LG Revolution] buffettman03:
worked great. no problems at all.
[LG Revolution] Landocommando12:
What is the system updater file called so I can freeze it?

I just went through all of this a few weeks ago and got my phone exactly how I wanted it... ZV8, rooted, Broken Out, and with CWM.

Then two weeks later it started prompting me to update to 9! I like the way my phone is running and just want the update prompts to STOP!

If I were to use this bat file, would that allow me to update to 9, or just root me after I've already updated?

If I were to want to update from where I am now, how would I go about downgrading and updating before using this file to root again?

Thanks!
[LG Revolution] Landocommando12:
Anyone? I am in system/app and have it set to show hidden files, but I have no file called updater. I am using ES File Explorer.
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
It might be a little easier if you use ROM toolbox. It shows all apps. It's called 'software updater' iirc.

To defrost it you will need to purchase the app.
[LG Revolution] :
worked flawlessly on stock unrooted ZV9, thanks!
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
If there isn't any radio changed from 8 to 9 it is possible that broken out would work on 9...I don't have a Revo to check on but it is possible that's what was doing us with the gingerbread update to begin with.
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Yes it seems to work, even blitz.
[LG Revolution] smitty_52:
Did you have to run this via usb our can you run out on the phone?
[LG Revolution] :
USB, follow the instructions in the OP exactly.
[LG Revolution] hoovnick:
Anyone know where I can download the zv9 update directly? Need to get it for the wife's revo, cause it didn't get the OTA, even though its on stock zv8.
[LG Revolution] gnoober:
this is not working for me at all. stock v9 ota
[LG Revolution] dexter35803:
Dude thats not the esteem root thats the one for V7 using zergrush which is invalid now make sure you download the zip file from my OP
[LG Revolution] gnoober:
it is very likely that im an idiot. i thought i did. thanx
[LG Revolution] shilohdrummer:
How were you able to find a debloated v9 rom?
[LG Revolution] :
I'm running stock ZV9, I debloated it myself using Titanium Backup uninstall and getting rid of any crap that I could. (Except music.apk, bluetooth needs that for some insane reason to work properly)
[LG Revolution] shilohdrummer:
Your program worked flawlessly!!! NOTE: THIS PROGRAM IS ONLY FOR V8 AND V9!!!

Okay, now that i've got this rooted, how can I get clockwork manager in this phone? and then how do I boot into it so I can finally install the "broken out"
[LG Revolution] buffettman03:
Use https://github.com/dexslab/LG-Root to install CWM. Use rom toolbox to boot into clockwork.
[LG Revolution] :
There's a great little program called Quick Boot in the Play Store that can boot you into Recovery (CWM) as well.
[LG Revolution] shilohdrummer:
yup, that did the trick
[LG Revolution] brswong:
how do i unroot if i rooted using this method?
[LG Revolution] Tekn010933:
Correct Drivers?

Am I missing something? Does anyone have the Drivers for this device?
[LG Revolution] iamjerry123:
Can I do this with Broken Out?
[LG Revolution] brswong:
i did and it works great
[LG Revolution] Tekn010933:
Drivers maybe

I am running this and it's not working for me, sits on HERE

Using these DRIVERS on win7x64 with method from OP, I have debug and on charge mode.

VS910 4G

A-2.3.6

SW-VS910ZV8

edit, Going to try it on XP now
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
Different program and OS but same developer so I hope this helps. Using dexter's One Click Tool on WinXP, the LG VZ United v2.5.2 driver worked for me. Maybe it will work for this one too. Find it on LG's site.
[LG Revolution] Tekn010933:
Thanks!

I had the wrong/old drivers got these from the site itself

http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGVS910

Then enabled debug again using "internet connection" instead of "charge only" or "mass storage" they installed all THESE which the old drivers could not.

Then unzip/extract the winRaR LG ROOT.zip file and run the LG ROOT .exe appl, I selected Root&CWM to root and install recovery.

Results! ran two app's rootcheck1 rootchecker2, after installation it goes to Recovery(CWM5.0).

Thanks "Bait-Fish" for pointing out the thread, and the proper credits as well are already on the threads below!

[LG Revolution] dopediculous:
ok, So I just did something totally stupid. I have rooted a TON of dif devices, yet this is my first LG.

I got root and everything was great. (For about two min when I thought that I knew everything)

I wanted to get CWM on here and saw no warnings about flashing through ROM Manger.

I flashed the revovery for esteem (Thats what I read and thought nothing of it. if we break it, we can fix it)

Well now the phone wont boot and I just need to know what to do.

Im assuming I just grab a proper recovery.img and push or flash it via adb???

Any Help, Or am I SOL? Well its my girls phone, so technically she would be SOL, that in-turn would make me SOL.

haha

Thanks for your help Community! :laugh:
[LG Revolution] Obsidian_soul:
I actually did this and fixed my phone.

You first need to go to the unbrick phone post. This will put your phone into test mode. Then you need to go to the post to take your phone out of test mode. Use the lgndt to flash the v9 tot and use MT AIO to root and install CWM.
[LG Revolution] dopediculous:
Appreciate the quick reply man. For a moment I thought you were messing with by your wording. Almost sounded like "just gently talk to your phone while holding the volume down and power and say "please unbrick phone" haha. I'll deff look into this asap. Until then, she's on one of my test devices (a rooted sick as hell rezound that I had laying around) and she's like, but I like my Revo... ugh. Women... *Shrug

Jk :)

Saw a leak and we will see an ota update on 5/10 61mb. Its not ics but probably that leak will now be official.
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
Ugh... Gonna have to update to a new base this soon.... Hopefully they don't change much in the framework...
[Thunderbolt General] nowetdio:
You guys have a link?
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
As op said, eta is may 10th
[Thunderbolt General] nowetdio:
A link about the leak......not the leak itself
[Thunderbolt General] xs11e:
As always, Google is your friend.
[Thunderbolt General] nowetdio:
Found it.
[Thunderbolt General] rberry88:
Is it just me or does the OTA update size for the Incredible 2 say 32GB? Seems a little large for that phone or a typo.
[Thunderbolt General] s10onn2o:
I'm trying to find it right now but I read some were that this update and all the other ones was the ics release I think it was on phone arena if I'm not mistaken.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
A 61 mb update to ics.... Sounds sketchy to me.
[Thunderbolt General] SirBindy:
Yeah no crap dude, it's NOT the ICS update... it's just another Gingerbread maintenance release.
[Thunderbolt General] elijahtan:
Seriously hate the fact that ics has been delayed so heavily
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
What do you mean delayed heavily? It was announced not too long ago, and given no eta, so how can it be delayed?
[Thunderbolt General] DaRkL3AD3R:
Imho, anytime a phone 1 year old or less has to wait 6+ months for a new Android OS upgrade, the OEM is failing to live up to Google and more importantly, the customers, standards.

The number of casual users who won't even recognize the fact that their phone upgraded from 2.3 to 4.0 is the number two reason these companies don't push hard to keep their phones up to date. With the number one reason being money. It's more profitable to lock out 1 year old phones from staying up to date, making that new device running the new version of Android more enticing and a possible sale from people who fall for gimmicky sales tactics.

Realistically Google wants every phone to be on ICS right now. At least, any phone that has the hardware to run it. Which in all honesty, is any mid range phone from 2010 and up. Certainly a flagship 2011 phone should be quite capable of running ICS, don't you think? So whats the only other possible explanation? See paragraph 2 and it'll be easily understood.
[Thunderbolt General] dizzyman1180:
+1 money, money, money
[Thunderbolt General] brandogg:
While is sucks that it takes so long to get an ICS update (even though I sold my Thunderbolt and got a Bionic...not that it will get official ICS any sooner), I do understand where the OEMs (and the carriers) are coming from...there's really no money in updating obsolete phones.
[Thunderbolt General] tburns:
Sorry I didn't post a link, my bad. Saw the tweet I got and was in a rush. Wish it was ICS update :S...
[Thunderbolt General] xs11e:
It's really nothing to get excited about, I unrooted, flashed back to stock, installed the leaked update and found...... nothing but a few bug fixes, etc. It had no effect on my use of my T'bolt which is now re-rooted and back to running Thunderstick Bareback which works for me and may or may not work for you.
[Thunderbolt General] icedventimocha:
ummmmm....our phones are obsolete????? Just because phones came out after ours doesn't mean it's obsolete. In fact any other phone on Verizon right now (as far as specs, not release date) is a downgrade.
[Thunderbolt General] xs11e:
At the current rate of new phone introduction "Hopelessly Obsolete" means any phone that's been out a week!
[Thunderbolt General] xredjokerx:
wut?

Rezound, Galaxy Nexus, Razr, Razr Maxx, Droid 4

Have you tried any of them? I had a rezound for about a week. It was amazing compared to TB. Looking for a droid 4 now :) Missing my keyboard.
[Thunderbolt General] icedventimocha:
I've used them all. And I like being able to change my battery and sd card, I like having a bigger screen, and I like simultaneous voice and data.
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
Different people have different definitions of "obsolete". The fact that HTC and Verizon are pushing an update kinda suggests that the the TBolt isn't obsolete after all. They've also announced that ICS will be made available for the TBolt, but honestly, I'll believe that when I see it.

[Thunderbolt General] dreitzell78:
ICS release

It does suck that it is not ICS update, but I am just glad it is going to released at all. I did not think that they would bother updating the TB, but I am glad they reconsidered. I personally think the TB is still a very good phone considering it has been out over a year. It has been fun to root and rom and the dev support for it has been really good. It has plenty of power (if oc'd some) and with Eternity on it now.. smooth as butta! It will be nice to have update though.
[Thunderbolt General] trter10:
Not really a great update any way, doesn't change much.
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
You have a changelog ?
[Thunderbolt General] zx12dak:
So other 4G phones do not have voice and data at the same time on EVDO?
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
I don't think voice and data at the same time is a feature of every 4g phone but I may be wrong about that.
[Thunderbolt General] LunaticSerenade:
As a point of interest, the Rezound has the same screen size as the Bolt, a 1.5 dual core processor, a user replaceable battery, and an SD card slot. And it does simaltaneous voice and data.

But the Bolt has a kick stand. That is pretty sweet. < not sarcasm.

At the same time, if I had had a Bolt instead of a DInc (another line on my plan is a Bolt, the only reason I'm even here), I probably would have waited on my upgrade. All said and done, the Bolt is impressive.
[Thunderbolt General] z71kris:
I think the bolt is the only phone on zvw to do both on 3g due to svdo...that was a big reason

i decided to get the bolt, that and Sammy's horrible updating rumors ...

[Thunderbolt General] LunaticSerenade:
The Rezound does as well.
[Thunderbolt General] z71kris:
Rezound has svdo? Cool...

[Thunderbolt General] LunaticSerenade:
Yup. Found that out accidentally and was super stoked!
[Thunderbolt General] geoff5093:
You can change the battery and SD card on the Rezound, and pretty much all of those phones you listed have a larger screen and can do voice + data on 4G.
[Thunderbolt General] ToddL:
Is 5/10 still the rumored date? Any new insight?
[Thunderbolt General] KuNiT:
Just heard that R3D (who makes the iKream ROMS) has ICS 4.0.3 running on his TBolt with everything working except LTE. Said he is working on getting LTE to work tonight. Possibly a ROM will be dropping soon with or without LTE. His ROMS are easily the best I've used on a Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] Swabodda:
Yeah, but is it even worth it without LTE? I guess it might be in an area with sketchy LTE coverage, but I bought this phone specifically for the data speeds. I'm not sure I'm ready to trade off...
[Thunderbolt General] KuNiT:
By all means I totally agree, but this is a step in the right direction at least. He stated he would be working on LTE tonight. I don't know how long this stuff takes. Could be done in a few hours, could take weeks, who knows. At least we are moving in the right direction. Everything else works but Data.
[Thunderbolt General] dblkspecial:
Has anyone got that update yet?
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
Hehe, an update that makes it out on the scheduled date ?

Looking at the General and Q&A forums, no one has started a new thread. Rest assured, when someone gets it, they'll post it ! No need to ask... Just be patient ;)
[Thunderbolt General] mdeblaz:
The leaked schedule said 5/10 at 11:59pm... grab it in 8 hours

[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
Geez, I never looked that close.... they really do have it set for a minute before midnight ! Why not just say on 5/11 ?? :D

On the other hand, they make some users suffer by saying "5/10" and hope they ignore or not catch the time indicated as well !
[Thunderbolt General] jmz768:
The update is live, I downloaded it at just after 4pm eastern time.
[Thunderbolt General] mi7chy:
Just got the OTA update alert but postponed it an hour. I hope they fixed the random reboot that I was getting with the leak.

[Thunderbolt General] donnyp1:
When someone gets it, upload it so a dev can pick thru it

Anyone know if the leak is identical to the ota or not? I really wanna know if I should try to get take the ota or not hehe.
[Thunderbolt General] dblkspecial:
I'm running stock n all I did was flash stock recovery via boot loader then download n install the ota, then flash cwm recovery via bootloader then flash the su zip then boom rooted ota
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
I'm on a ROM with the leaked version so ill have to flash the previous stock version via bootloader (ruu).

update failure

Hi, sorry if this is wrong area, first time posting, and yes I attempted to search all the thunderbolt forums firstt. I'm assuming my phone recieved an update while I was asleep (or tried) and I had already rooted and was on revolutionary cwm v4.0.1.4 or so it states in the hboot screen. I am stuck on a boot loop with a caution icon, if i go to hboot it states,

"opening update package..

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installatioin aborted

init.svc.recovery= running"

reboot only leads to again an attempt update and fail, any help is appreciated, or link to related problems with solutions. Thanks in advance.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Try flashing cwm in the bootloader. If that doesn't work then flash a new ruu.
[Thunderbolt General] intender:
Put your sd card in a computer and delete the update. It might boot normal then. But if not, As long as your not seeing s-on in the hboot screen you should be able to recover easily.
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
What ROM or are you just running rooted-stock ?
[Thunderbolt General] wowcostica:
Just running rooted stock, i actually wiped the cache, rebooted, and it then it asked about update, i said no, and since then im good to go... for now.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
You can use root explorer and navigate to the "etc" folder and find the otacerts.zip and add .bak to it and that should keep it from trying to update again. Just had to do that on my wife's bolt.
[Thunderbolt General] Google_Nexus:
Ice been out since October so whybdo we have to wait 9 months now.jellybran should be out soon so who really care about ics when jellybean will be.out so soon. But then won't.let us.have that one...
[Thunderbolt General] rabnud:
As much as I'd like ICS, I don't mind waiting for a polished product. I laugh when people cry about "delays" and what not. HTC didn't originally give an eta, they are working on ICS for a variety of devices. It makes more sense for them to place priority on future devices and ones they currently sell. Thunderbolt is already past end of life, the fact that we are getting it at all is awesome.
[Thunderbolt General] Google_Nexus:
I wold never call any ota polished. Hello the devs here can b slap around any ota....
[Thunderbolt General] droiddog:
It maybe past their end life, but if you're stuck with a crappy 2 year contract they should keep the phone up to date at least through that time period if not beyond. I don't know any other industry where people are satisfied with less than one year support for premium products. This was a $700+ phone unsubsidized.
[Thunderbolt General] rabnud:
Neither would I, nor did I. I figured that was implied, given that we are posting on xda.

That wasn't my point at all. People are crying and moaning because ICS isn't out for Thunderbolt yet. Look at the old press releases, none mention a tentative release date. People assumed that "soon" meant within the month of the original press release saying we will get it eventually. It was just recent that we got a ballpark date range from HTC. We are going to get it, people just have to wait. Crying and whining accomplish nothing. So many people act as if not having ICS has damaged their cell, or that devs are lazy because of the RIL issues. The sense of entitlement is amazing.
[Thunderbolt General] mvh11:
I don't mind waiting either, because I'm stuck on this phone for now(although I am strongly debating switching to sprint and grabbing an Evo LTE). I have never used a stock rom since I rooted, and it will stay that way. I'm waiting on a custom ICS rom such as CM9 or AOKP, so an OTA release doesn't mean much for me aside from a RIL that developers can work from to start making fully functional roms.
[Thunderbolt General] Baconrules21:
Pretty much this. I'm about to buy the S3 and keep this phone around just in case I need a 4g phone if something happened to the S3. I'll be waiting for the CM9 as well.

Over all though, HTC's service has been beyond **** and horrible from my stand point. I don't think I'll ever buy a hand set from them again. I paid like 380 dollars for the phone with a contract.... and 2 years down the line it barley gets anything with over a year of it being problematic. I guess that's a cool way to treat the flagship of the time. I'm done with their crap.

Samsung here I come, there is a huge dev community for them and since they are launching the S3 all together to all carriers, the dev community is going to be even bigger.
[Thunderbolt General] donnyp1:
God luck with samsung. If u paid $380 for the tbolt, ypur the moron. I got it for $50. This phone is great. Htc makes some of the highest quality phones around, as your about to find out. I have had zero issues with this phone, i flash just to flash, snd om never sorry i got this phone. Would ics be great, well yeah, but only with sense. This phone cand do something most cant, if its not working for you, its operator error. Ive flashed htc atleast 1000 times, they are the best.
[Thunderbolt General] Baconrules21:
I bought it the day it came out and it's only been problematic and nothing else. It was a flagship phone, thus the 380 dollar price, how am I a moron for that? I was expecting quality out of a flagship of the time and, obviously, it was not there.

Their build quality is good, I am not complaining about that. It's just that this phone has given more problems than it should have and sense is horrible on it. Makes it lag like no tomorrow. You should not have to root a phone to make it lag free or good. In this case I had to unfortunately.

I'm glad you like it but, generally, everyone that I know has HTC hates it pretty much.
