does anyone know what to do, i've never ran into this before... i've tried odin versions 1.85 and 3.07

info, phone was running vanir 4.4.2 nightly tried to update to latest and phone wouldnt start os so booted into recovery and it went straight to trying to install the rom again, and keeps doing so, so im trying to return to stock to start a new. yes the flash was a dirty flash (vanir has an ota updater script that lets you know a new version is avalible and after downloading it will ask if you want to install, from there it reboots into recovery and installs it and reboots all for you, and it seems like it just got stuck...)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] deathblade:
ok fixed it, needed to download older version of cwm and flash it via odin then wipe everything then flash latest twrp vid odin and that fixed it

older CWM + ODIN (and everything else to root stock 4.1.1) (please note i did not compile this just posting the one i found to fix my issue)

Latest TWRP FOR ODIN

please note these file should only be used on D2ATT (Samsung Galaxy S III SGH-I747 AT&T Variant)
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
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.
[Sprint LG G2] Williek113:
Awesome! Testing this now, I'll post my own results too.
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
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.
[Sprint LG G2] mrrogers1:
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!
[Sprint LG G2] InsanePostman:
Any chance this will for stock based ROMs?
[Sprint LG G2] youdug:
[MENTION=4194834]garwynn[/MENTION] do you have the stock build.prop from the zv8 update? not the one from the stock rooted rom.
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
If you have debloated the ROM, it probably won't work. I ended up flashing the TOT (pure stock) to get it to flash.

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.
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
Sorry, didn't pull it before I flashed. Really should have.

If I flash it again today I'll pull it.
[Sprint LG G2] youdug:
im not sure if ill need it but might as well grab it just in case before i start.

thanks man.
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
Sorry, didn't clarify the second. I tried stock odex ROM and didn't work. That's why I went the TOT route.
[Sprint LG G2] Williek113:
Wasn't able to flash. I got a bunch of asset errors.
[Sprint LG G2] latoso:
i flashed testupdate 2 no problems here

[Sprint LG G2] FinalStar:
I am getting a "apply_patch_check" error on both these updates.

I am running stock rom V8, Rooted, TWRP 2.6.3.3
[Sprint LG G2] djnarcotics:
any idea how it happened my sim card got damaged when i flashed my first rom had to go to sprint for a new one
[Sprint LG G2] Burkettacb:
I am completely stock, rooted, with twrp 2.6.3.3, is this safe to flash. Some have reported good to go, some have not. Whats the general consensus
[Sprint LG G2] mchlbenner:
This is very good question this is on mind also.

Kinda waiting back to see if any knew solutions come about.
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
Something is no longer matching stock - whatever that error is failing on will be it.
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
For those wanting to know whether it's good or not:

Are you only stock rooted and want to stay that way? Go to town.

Use AOSP? Don't. If you did, revert for now.

Unsure? Play it safe and do the second option.

Hopefully we can get AOSP to play nice but it's going to take some time to figure out the boot loop issue.
[Sprint LG G2] mrrogers1:
Well, that's kind of relative... If it doesn't work 100% of the time, I'd say not *completely safe. The OP lost his SIM in the process if providing it to the community. If you do not live in a Spark market, the risks, at this juncture outweigh the benefits IMHO.

Give time, give them time, it will be made safe and success rate will increase with time as this or other methods are refined.
[Sprint LG G2] mchlbenner:
If both updates fail can you restore back or you have to go back to stock to get phone to boot.
[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
Can you still access TWRP? If you do, then restore your nandroid backup. You should be doing that before flashing this mod.
[Sprint LG G2] mchlbenner:
I already have backups.

Just if updates for mod fail can you just restore and reboot.
[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
I think as long as you can access TWRP and have a good backup, it should work.
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
If the update fails it will be in the asserts and nothing has changed at that point.
[Sprint LG G2] Burkettacb:
In other words, no. You'll probly lose access to recovery, is that basically the gist? But in the off chance it does not bork your recovery, youd be able to restore from backups
[Sprint LG G2] eeeeeeeeek:
No luck

I also tried flashing both verisons on the stock odex zv8 rom, both updates error out.
[Sprint LG G2] youdug:
give me a couple hours and i will have completely stock rooted zva up

Sweet i guess im staying awake tonight
[Sprint LG G2] eeeeeeeeek:
awesome, I won't bother tinkering with anything else. Thanks for your work.
[Sprint LG G2] youdug:
no problem at all guys.

i would have posted it already but i ran into some issues with ioroot and my device.

i have to start all over again.

edit: sorry guys. there will be a stock rooted zva tonight unless something unexpected happens.

i had a lot of problems with ioroot and zva.

all is good now though. in about two hours im gonna pull the rest of the system and zip it up.

ill clean flash it later just to make sure all is good and then ill upload it.

i dont want you all to think im out here fishing.

i had a dump from Savoca but he debloated it a little and I wanted to keep it completely stock just in case we get another update before 4.4.

just wanted to clarify a little.
[Sprint LG G2] Demonlinx:
No need to rush it at all man. I know that a lot of us here, me included, are extremely anxious. But I'm sure we would all rather wait the extra days so that there is no problems that may arise from flashing. I'm sure I can speak for all of the LS980 community when I say thanks to you, the d3rp team, savoca, and any others that have had a helping hand in seeing this update getting to us as soon as possible.
[Sprint LG G2] dkwatts:
youdug' s upcoming version will have all system apps installed? So the next OTA update shouldn't fail?
[Sprint LG G2] Demonlinx:
It will depend on how he implements it but I would assume that will be the case. It will be completely stock.
[Sprint LG G2] youdug:
completely stock besides root, which wont mess anything up.

thats why i didnt post the dump i got from Savoca because we wouldnt be able to flash the next update over top of it.

I dont want there to be any whammy's if there happens to be another update before 4.4.
[Sprint LG G2] djnarcotics:
exactly said :victory:
[Sprint LG G2] mrrogers1:
You guys don't really believe that do you? ;)
[Sprint LG G2] latoso:
this zip has the new lg radios or we have to flash your rom and radios?
[Sprint LG G2] youdug:
go to the stock rooted thread and read the first two posts.

it has everything youll need.

make sure you read Savoca's thread i have linked in the first post also.
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
His ROM is ROM only. The ZIPs in OP are ROM & Radio, minus aboot.
[Sprint LG G2] Hutch89:
Can i flash the zip over zv7 that tot installed? Ive tried youdougs rom with savocas radio three times all with fastboot error after radio flash. I really don't want to unbrick, root, install recovery, etc anymore. Also tried doing a firmware upgrade several times and keeps saying none are availabe...I've been at this for 4 hours fuuuuuuuuuuuu

yea i was having same issue i did .tot back zv8>ioroot>freegee>than installed first test file and worked on zva with rom and radios only issue i am having is i cannot reboot at all i try and i get stuck on splash screen

Twrp

Any questions feel free to let me know. Again thanks to all and enjoy!

Hey Garwynn,

I successfully used the test1 zip but I was wondering if I should still have TWRP installed after using your method. I have not tried it as I am a little worried I might brick it. Can you confirm that we should still have access to TWRP once we run the your zips in TWRP recovery. Thanks.
[Sprint LG G2] youdug:
Yes you will still have twrp.

They do not flash the stock recovery.
[Sprint LG G2] UCLA1:
Thanks for the confirmation but I have another issue. I can no longer open freegee as it crashes when trying to recognize my device. Before I updated to zva it worked. Any ideas why it doesn't work now?
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
Not sure what that is so unfortunately couldn't tell you. If you're familiar with logging you might be able to look at the log and see what's causing it to misbehave.
[Sprint LG G2] souleman:
My guess is that freegee doesn't recognize the device. I'm pretty sure it will be fixed.
[Sprint LG G2] UCLA1:
Thanks. I sure hope so.
[Sprint LG G2] weenerdog3443:
Anyone try this in d3rp Rom
[Sprint LG G2] Demonlinx:
It won't work. Zva only runs on zva Roms. Otherwise you get soft bricks and all sorts of other 'goodies'.

TWRP Loop

Well, I tried both update files and I'm stuck in a TWRP boot loop. Can only get into twrp and bootloader. system WILL NOT boot no matter what. I'm coming from totally stock rooted ZV8 with twrp 2.6.3.3. This is my mother's phone, she inadvertently ran the OTA from the prior state and got stuck bootlooping to TWRP. I adb pushed the two files to the sdcard in twrp and flashed them hoping that would solve the problem and get the ROM to boot but no dice. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get this thing to boot the ROM, SOMETHING is holding it back. I've even tried reverting the aboot manually....no dice....any suggestions??

btw, I have the stock .tot and the lgflashtool but I wanna try to avoid going clean back to out of the box if I can help it :/

oh and rooted via ioroot21
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
The "stock" OTA misbehaves when flashed with TWRP and the trick that worked on other devices doesn't seem to work. Unfortunately I don't think we figured out a way to clear it. If you have time try to reach me on Hangouts with the phone in TWRP and we can see if something can be done. But honestly I had to flash ZV8 in LGFlashTool last time to correct mine.
[Sprint LG G2] Rx8Driver:
Thanks a million but yeah I ended up just doing the same thing. Returned her to stock zv8 and then took the zva ota that automatically download again and re rooted her. I, for the life of me, can't figure why it went wrong. I tried everything that was suggested but nothing would work. I feel like it had to have something to do with the aboot but I could be wrong. I'm not NEARLY the expert some of you guys are. I got a long standing tech background in pc's (Windows and Linux) so I have a pretty solid understanding of the basics but I'm still a rookie specifically with Android and selinux etc etc...I figure in that respect I know enough to be dangerous :/

IS it possible to go back to ZV8 from ZVA? If someone can point me in the right direction!!
[Sprint LG G2] jcwxguy:
you can either run the .tot (using lg flash tool)- SEE BACK TO STOCK THREAD,

or

make sure you the v7 aboot and twrp (Use freegee from play store if your rooted as it does both when it flashes twrp and then go into recovery and wipe everything 3 TIMES -especially system (using advanced wipe option in twrp) except internal storage THEN flash the v8 radio then the v8 rom (DO NOT REBOOT between the radio and rom )
[Sprint LG G2] Ind3lible:
What if I am not rooted. It is my brother's phone it will still be possible? I am just scared to brick it!
[Sprint LG G2] jcwxguy:
if not rooted, then you have to use the .tot file and lg flash tool ( takes you back to v7, then take ota to v8 ) it would be just the way it come first came out. you would lose all apps and photo's and messages ect

Unlocked boot loader is a dead end now. Even if there is someone with the know how on how to do it they would be working on the s4. The good news is if the s4 gets unlocked we probably will as well.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
Lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
This is a down to earth explanation; when the phone boot up, the bootloader looking for an "Identity key" from the kernel to verify that the kernek is legit (stock). This key is encrypted so we can't read it. If it detected the key is not the right key, it trips the Knox counter and registers as "unauthorized firmware" count. The Knox counter is a one way counter and it can't be reset, it only can counts up. So in theory, If we can cracked the bootloader we can modified it so that 1) it ignores to look for the key or 2) look for the key that we assigned to it.
