Well well, i'm on 1.8 now. Decide to take a stab at it before heading out.

On a hunch, decided to re-flash TWRP using Flashify. Flashed the 2.6.3.2.img first, booted into that recovery and then flashed the 2.6.3.4 zip.

Crossed my fingers and tried to flash 1.8 over 1.7 and it worked.

Anyone else getting the LG security error should try this. No harm, just another process of elimination.
[Sprint LG G2] Txdaredvl:
getting the security error but have the latestest twrp

not sure what I have missed. I have the latest I can find with in the post here for the twrp and tried to install the 1.8. when I do it gets stuck at the boot loop at the security error. the phones a week old so is there something on there that keeps it from allowing it from installing correctly. everything else seems to have went well. will it need an older twrp to work as this would be the first rom flashed on it. It started right back up after I restored it back.
[Sprint LG G2] enik_fox:
So tried the new update. Followed your instructions completely, but its still softbricked

[Sprint LG G2] HeckNoTechnO:
Just wanting to make sure before flashing. If I am on a stock zva rom I don't need to worry about flashing radios and redoing recovery correct?
[Sprint LG G2] DRUMSBH:
I was on the 1.7ZVA and downloaded 1.8, did a full wipe of everything except Internal Storage and flashed 1.8....... Got the Security Error as well. Going back to 1.7 now.

Edit: Back on 1.7 now.
[Sprint LG G2] Lrod0175:
Thanks buddy, I need to put it in a zip, so guys can flash it, I'll do it when I get home tonight.

wow, I believe the issue is flashing the kernel, I just uploaded V1.8 with the loki lines from V1.6 to op, so u guys can download, good job in figuring a way to flash it.

The issue with the previous version in op was the loki lines that help flash the kernel, just redownload and flash, following the instructions in op.
[Sprint LG G2] Lrod0175:
I uploaded V1.8 to op with the loki lines in updater script to make sure kernel flashes, that will fix boot security errors some are having, please to all download again and delete the one u have in your sd, even if u did not have any issues flashing V1.8, do it so u can have the updated version of the installation script.
[Sprint LG G2] LordLugard:
Just glad it worked out for me however way it did. ?

when I'm in TWRP I try to go into adb sideload, and it just stays on the screen saying it's loading it. Never loads it. I'm just trying to go back to stock now, and I can't even do that.

But I can't find a registration key for LG Flash Tools, so in short, I'm completely screwed. My phone is bricked, backups just boot loop, adb sideload won't load.

Is there ANYONE that can help out here?
[Sprint LG G2] Lrod0175:
Your phone is not bricked buddy, its just has not operating system to boot to.

Reboot recovery, download the new v1.8 in op and sideload the crap out of this bad boy, u gonna be ok.
[Sprint LG G2] sixout:
I'm trying to sideload through TWRP, and it just stays on the screen. Won't actually run the sideload
[Sprint LG G2] LordLugard:

[Sprint LG G2] Lrod0175:
Ok, reboot recovery and if it keeps doing it, unplug usb and plug it back until it recognizes it.
[Sprint LG G2] sixout:
Sorry for all the questions, never had to actually use a sideload or anything before. This is the first time I've encountered these problems so I'm not sure how to handle them.

I have TWRP 2.6.3.3 and when I run sideload, it just says Starting ADB sideload feature. Is it supposed to go to something else? Or should I just be able to run the CMD stuff now?
[Sprint LG G2] enik_fox:
How do I get rid of those boot animation sounds.
[Sprint LG G2] chriswbush:
+1 to this just in case i have to restart my phone in a lecture and i have like 100 students looking at me

Also do we need a app to set thing for the custom kernel or did you include scripts for it to be fine without it

Rename these files in the directory listed at top of pic...

Look in system/media/audio/ui

there are 2 files you can remove. Poweron_sprint.ogg and poweroff_sprint.ogg.

Remove them and the sounds will be gone.

Hey i did the 1.8 update coming from stock zv7 and when i do volume up it give me factory reset and when i do volume down it gives me fastboot what do i do?
[Sprint LG G2] etd:
I downloaded 1.8 this morning. I followed. The instructions coming from 1.6 zv8 and it worked perfectly 1st try!! Thanks a lot for the hard work on this awesome ROM!!
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
Did you flash the zva radio coming from 1.6 to 1.8
[Sprint LG G2] chriswbush:
No coming from stock zv7
[Sprint LG G2] Txdaredvl:
got a softbrick from flashing the radio and rom

I followed the instructions to the t. The install went great flashed the rom restarted and did what was needed then during the install after wiping the radio did good but all looked good until the end of the rom the last time. I got some error like it didnt install correct or something. I had a install had failed in red. I knew it prob had crashed the phone so I tried a reboot and it did. I do have a recovery image so Its back up and running and am back at it. Its back on the stock again with the zv7 radio. can it not flash from stock zv7. Is it possible to why it failed last time. I had checked the 3 items in twrp to delete.

it also was at the point of where it said something about the partition where it kinda shows what its doing. sorry I cant remb what it said exactly was at lunch and already been at work some.

Should I keep from wiping the system this time and just do the cache and delve
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
Question for those who went back to zv7, and the ROMs set for zv8. They would crash right. Can they flash the zv8 radio and then flash the ROM. I have read that others had no issue flashing to zva.
[Sprint LG G2] DRACONIANDRAGON:
Well after 3 hours the latest rom finish downloading. Now my question is how do I sideload or push it to recovery, I keep getting (cannot read sideload) errors. I have uninstalled all my drivers and reinstalled, yet nothing.

Any ideas?
[Sprint LG G2] M2Iceman:
Lrod, i don't know if u know the App Auto Soft Key Hide but after flashing 1.8 its showing the app no longer supports this device. Does that have anything too do with script changes? Im going to email the developer and see if has something to do with the Sprint update but it worked on 1.7. Not on 1.8, Thx
[Sprint LG G2] SRobby:
Just FYI for people looking,

I was coming from 1.6, ZVC, backed up, wiped everything but SD Card, installed ZVA 1.8, rebooted, updated PRL & Profile, rebooted into recovery, flashed the modem, then immediately flashed 1.8 again, failed "/tmp/loki.sh/ would not instll 1.8 at all,

Now stuck at fastboot only.

I would suggest waiting until this is ironed out, i followed all appropriate steps as outlined and still failed.

Still love the ROM, and massive props to LROD, but something seems to still be going on here.

If anyone sees where i screwed up please let me know
[Sprint LG G2] Lrod0175:
Are u trying to go back to recovery? Factory reset will take u there.

Glad u got it and in the first try too.

you can try it, but is recommended, since system is where most changes are, let me know how it goes, btw did u download the rom today?

Thats weird, let me know what he says.
[Sprint LG G2] chriswbush:
No i was adding this rom to my brothers phone from zv7 stock to 1.8 it failed and soft bricked his phone i got it back to stock

When i did it i went from zv7 stock to 1.7 and then updated to 1.8 it worked fine

So what im guessing is if your coming from zv7 dont do 1.8 until you flash for example stock rooted zva to make sure you have the xza radio working fine then flash whichever zva rom that why it worked well for me from zv7 to 1.7 which didn't have the kernel but if your coming from zv7 first make sure you have the radio on there and stock zva before moving onto another rom that would be the safest way of doing it and making sure nothing else is interfering
[Sprint LG G2] Lrod0175:
Try rebooting recovery, then connect the phone, you also might wanna rename the rom to optimus, so it will be easier, then put the phone into sideload mode.

adb sideload optimus.zip

Let me know how it goes, frankly I know that phones are different but it puzzles me how some are having issues, anyways I'm at work but I'll keep checking in from time to time. Thanks to all that are helping folks out.

Any ideas on what i can try to save my phone?

I know that i can use the .tot to factory restore but i'd rather repair it and continue where i left off.

I can run fastboot commands to it, but i"m no sure what needs to be done here, i've tried re-flashing the twrp recovery which succeeds, but upon a reboot-bootloader, it just takes me back to fastboot.
[Sprint LG G2] Demonlinx:
I would try sideloading a zv8 radio zip and try booting back up. If you cant sideload flashing a .tot will probably be the best option at this point.

Look here maybe these would help.

Sounds like your aboot, needs replaced. I know when the aboot was over written during the original antenna flash. Recovery would put you in a fast boot issue. You could try pushing the aboot fix. Then recovery and see if it works.
[Sprint LG G2] DRACONIANDRAGON:
Could someone please post an MD5 of the latest 1.8, please. :D

Also I did read correctly that the latest upload of 1.8 has the correct aboot?

Could someone post just the script?
[Sprint LG G2] lowpro3210:
Just out curiosity; what version of TWRP are you all using? I understand that 2.6.3.3 is ideal for most, but I have heard talk about people using 2.6.3.4; please post and let me know so I can upgrade coming from another ROM and do not want to soft-brick or encounter any issues.

Thank you all...:good:
[Sprint LG G2] Demonlinx:
Im using lokied 2.6.3.3 from Savoca. Which was located in youdougs ZVA thread.

Nope, aboot fix made it worse, now i cant get anything on the screen at all, and regardless of how i plug it in i get nothing but a black screen.

[Sprint LG G2] Lrod0175:
If u keep going to fasboot, then just .tot the crap out of it man, its a time issue, you can spend the whole day trying stuff out, I mean I have actually spend half a day to try to make it boot after some screw up I've done to it, like flashing the zva radio and not downgrading aboot to zv7. tot, root, use fregee or whatever u used to install recovery, it will take u probably 15 to 30 minutes, I don't even remember how many times I tot this phone, lol. Once those partitions get messed up is a pain in the neck to make them aligned again. I say tot the *****.
[Sprint LG G2] chriswbush:
By any chance do you have the stock battery the one included is like a tiny bit off and the color is off and im like very ocd
[Sprint LG G2] Lrod0175:
Yes, the previews version had it as well, I just added loki script from furnace to make sure the kernel gets flashed correctly so guys wont get that boot error.

Im on twrp 2.6.3.4 and everything has flashed without issues, make sure u follow instructions in op.

OK Ya the one I had download failed and wouldnt even install like this one did and I had to re download the rom this morning around 9 this morning. This one seems to be taking. the failure is only after I have put the zva modem on it and then flash the rom again. before it, it works every time.
[Sprint LG G2] vixman:
I flashed 1.8, updated profile and prl. Now im trying to get back to twrp but i cant. can someone help me ? i was used to turning it off and pressing power + volume down then release. now that is not working.

edit: i had it charging to the wall.. i unplugged it and it worked.. weird..
[Sprint LG G2] Lrod0175:
Power + vol down, as soon as the phone is off press power +vol up, or just find this app I put in the rom for the same purpose, its called quick boot.
[Sprint LG G2] wallyw:
I'm having the same problem. I followed the instructions exactly, wiped, flashed rom, rebooted, prl and profile updates, rebooted recovery and flashed radio. All went fine. When I went to flash optimus second time I got the error about loki.sh. I'm still in recovery, scared to reboot or do anything else at this point.

Try starting fresh from ZVA 1.7 and see what happens. Follow instructions properly pertaining to radio etc.
[Sprint LG G2] Twosted:
Longtime Lurker and flasher. Don't post much, but I was having this same issue. I did a clean flash and install of V1.8 twice and it didn't fix it.

I thought it had to be something on the SD card that was causing the issue since full wipes did not make any difference. So I deleted everything in the "Quickset Setup" folder on the SD card. After that I did a full wipe and reinstalled. The first chance I got I went to the LG update app and accepted the terms. After that QRemote worked like normal.

BTW, Thanks LRod for all of your hard work. This is by far the fastest ROM with the best battery life that I have flashed.:svetius:

Here's my success story on installing Optimus DE 1.8 with ZVA radio

I initially had youdug's first ZVA odex rom which installed fine but lost recovery.

I used the LG Tool to flash the Sprint TOT file to get back to stock ZV7. Updated PRL and Profile.

Used iroot11 to gain root again.

Used flasify to install TWRP 2.6.3.2. and rebooted.

Got back into TWRP 2.6.3.2. and installed TWRP 2.6.3.4

On my phone the only way I could get into recovery from stock was to power it off and then press and hold volume up and then press and hold the power button down until the factory reset screen pops up and then release the buttons. I would press the power button one or two more times then TWRP would come on.

Rebooted and turned off the phone and got into TWRP again.

Wiped CACHE, DALVIK AND SYTEM about 3 times.

Went back one page and then swiped to factory reset.

Installed Optimus 1.8 and then WIPE CACHE and DALVIK before rebooting.

updated PRL and Profile.

Got back into TWRP 2.6.3.4 and Wiped CACHE, DALVIK AND SYTEM about 3 times.

Went back one page and then swiped to factory reset.

Installed ZVA radio and then Optimus 1.8 and then WIPE CACHE and DALVIK before rebooting.

Updated PRL and Profile.

So far no problems with getting into TWRP 2.6.3.4 and no boot loops.

Would it be possible to mirror your copies of the rom and zva radio, Gdrive just doesnt play nice and hopefully I can get my phone up and running tonight.

[Sprint LG G2] budeone:
yea baby.. Mirror is up.. Thnaks!!
[Sprint LG G2] bean373:
My suggestion is to flash back to stock ZV7. The only problem with this is that your SD CARD will be wiped clean in the process. If you've backed up everything to your PC then you shouldn't have anything to worry.

With the updated upload u put up Lrod, the flash went fine. all is good . Thank you once again for a smooth transition to v1.8 . Im really feeling this rom. I cant say that enough. you freakin kicked rear on this rom bro.

To give you guys a run down as to how I did this . First I followed thru with the flashing of twrp .3.3 to 3.4 , then I did what lrod has up in the op. I followed to a tee. then today after he uploaded the new v1.8 not the one he uploaded yesterday, yesterdays version gave me the error) but today's reupload with some added scripts, I just did a simple wipe dalvik,system and cache. not data nor internal. and flashed v1.8 after that wipe.

Are all these steps necessary if you've already downgraded your aboot and are already on a rom with spark? Can't we just wipe and flash? Why do we need to flash the radio again? The rom doesn't touch the aboot version does it?
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
Dang it drop box is broken now also... Ack
[Sprint LG G2] Lrod0175:
If you already have the radio you are good, no need to reflash it, just wipe cache, dalvik and system and flash v1.8, however if you encounter any issues do a full wipe except sd card of course, the issue some were encountering was after flashing the radio, the radio was screwing the aboot. Flash this bad boy and enjoy dude!

Wipe everything except sd card

Flash OpTimuS

Reboot

Update your profile and prl

Go back to recovery

Wipe cache, dalvik and system, Flash the radio so u can be totally updated to ZVA and can get spark if u encounter it.

Flash OpTimuS, do not reboot without reflashing OpTimuS after the radio, trust me, better save than sorry and .tot, then you are done.
