I don't think you've given enough background on where you are exactly and where you are trying to go to give a proper answer.

If you are rooted, which I assume you are given you're asking questions in this forum, you cannot simply take the Sprint OTA updates (ZVC in particular).

You are currently on ZV7? Rooted? Otherwise stock ROM, or other modifications? After ZV7, there are so far 3 updates, ZV8, ZVA and then ZVC, with only the last one being KitKat. You can take the ZV8 and ZVA OTA updates from Sprint if you have no modifications whatsoever besides being rooted (can't have custom recovery, hotspot or other mod, Xposed, etc.). For ZVC you can't be rooted for the Sprint factory OTA to work. There are alternatives to using Sprint OTAs.

Honestly before attempting anything I think you need to do a lot more reading around here, but if you give more specifics I'm sure you will get more information; I will help out as I can but it is really not a good idea to do these things without knowing more about what you're doing.
[Sprint LG G2] blindesti:
Thanks for answer, actually i had an older phone with android and there was very easy to update....here i feel like a noob,i have stock LS980ZV7 software version, i already rooted and instaled TWRP 2.6.3.3 , but now i dont know what version i need to use to update it lol, phone is from USA but i live in Europe. i saw on forum an link to *.tot file of ZVC version, maybe i should use that? :confused: could be cool if there where instructions for noobs(im not noob but i find hard to understand what i need to do, too many versions of LG G2 and upgrade methods differ)

In order to keep LTE-Only option, I'm holding out for ZVC until Denver's NV is closer to complete. I'm on ZVA stock rooted and according to your advice I can't be rooted to take ZVC OTA. So, I'm wondering about the best way to Unroot. SuperSU has an option in settings for doing a Full unroot. Do you know if this works or other, better methods I should use?

Thanks!
[Sprint LG G2] ChoppedLiver:
Yes, the "Full unroot" option in SuperSU works, that is what I did in order to take the ZVC OTA. This keeps the rooted ADB shell by the way, but that is fine (I'm not sure how to unroot ADB) - it can actually be good in case the OTA fails so you can look at the /cache/recovery/last_log file to try and troubleshoot.

Not sure if this is related, but I ran into an issue when trying to root ZVC after the update, where it appeared to have worked successfully but invoking "su" would simply freeze and do nothing - see this post and those directly below. This was solved for me by installing SuperSU through the Play Store.
[Sprint LG G2] that_guy_right_there:
ZVA was much faster data wise than ZVC at least for me, having alot of 3g and little to no 4g lte
[Sprint LG G2] ChoppedLiver:
I have similar experience, used to be on LTE most of the time on my day to day travels, and now 3G is more common. For me though this changed somewhere along the way between ZVA and ZVC, can't really tie it to a specific update. I had the hotspot mod on ZVA, which I reverted back to stock before upgrading to ZVC, which made no difference.

I'm wondering if it is related to tower upgrades being in progress in my area (I see occasional connectivity on LTE bands 26 and 41 now, indicating towers are getting Spark enabled), and/or maybe some change in the PRL that would cause the phone to choose 3G over LTE more.
[Sprint LG G2] p2cactus:
I suspect tower update is issue. Had similar problems for about a month and then things were better than ever.
[Sprint LG G2] James7Bond007:
The phone can be a bit peculiar in that my wife and I both have the Sprint LG G2, and sometimes her phone will be on an LTE signal while mine is on 3G. We're both running stock ZVC, unrooted. Sometimes putting my phone into airplane mode and taking it out will get it to switch over to LTE, but other times I need to reboot it in order for it to switch over. She regularly lets her battery die completely (just forgets to charge it) whereas I'll have regular uptimes of 10 days or more. I'm not saying uptime has anything to do with it - just that two of the same phones, same carrier, same OS version, same physical location can act different in terms of getting LTE vs 3G.
[Sprint LG G2] beezar:
Still likely a tower upgrade issue. It's common in many areas that are upgrading that the phone has trouble with going back to LTE from 3G after losing LTE recently without cycling airplane mode. So if you you are in a weak LTE area and lost LTE, but your wife happen to not , then you could both be in the same area where she has LTE and you don't b/c your phone won't go back to LTE

[Sprint LG G2] ftw2118:
Hello every one. I am new to this whole rooting custom ROM thing. Let me start by sayin I have a lgg2 ls980zvc runnin on stock android KitKat 4.4.2. I recently was finally able to root my phone but since then I have had nothing but problems since then.

I read that I needed a custom recovery before I get a custom ROM. I have been trying everything to do that. From flashify to Goo manager to freegee. Goo manager and freegee both say no recoveries r available for my device. I downloaded or tried to add philz to my phone but dont know if I was able to do it. I got it to my phone I think but not sure

I tried flashify and flashed open recovery.twrp then I booted into recovery and all it says now is "boot error. Cause: boot certificate error". It goes to a black screen then I have to hold power button until it turns off.

I have no clue wut to do born if I can do anything. Mind you, I am very new to this and have no idea what I am doing.

[Sprint LG G2] ftw2118:
Omg thank you so much. That is the easiest way I have seen. Now I have one more question how do I install a custom ROM with gapps. I can't figure out how to do it. I backed up everything with twrp. Was I suppose to back it up with gapps on there and cm11 or do I download those 2 things after I backup everything
[Sprint LG G2] ftw2118:
LG Symbol pops up and turns off then repeats

someone please help... i was finally able to install twrp and i backed up everything after i downloaded gapps-kk-2014 and cyanogenmod11. I backed everything up, factory reset everything (that wiped delvik and cache or so it says) I did not personally wipe delvik or cache.

1. Downloaded CM11 & Gapps-kk-2014

2.Backed up everything using TWRP.

3. Factory Reset (it says it wiped delvik and cache but I did not personally check those, i only did factory reset)

4. I flashed CM11 Nightly for ls980 and Gapps-kk-2014.

5. Rebooted the phone and only the LG symbol pops up now and then phone turns back off then turns back on and LG pops back up and keeps repeating that.

I repeated #4 3 times with the third time I flashed Paranoid Android Gapps along with CM11 thinking that was it but it still does the same thing.. What did I do wrong and can anyone help me please
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
Restore your backup.

Get into twrp by powering your system/phone off.

Hold volume down and power until it says booting recovery.
[Sprint LG G2] ftw2118:
Thank you. Thats exactly what I did. Now I can't figure out why I can't get cm11. I have seen others are able to do it but I have been seein a lot of people can't get cm11 and the only common thing is the auto-recovery. But idk what to do. I guess for now I'll stick with stock ROM til someone smart figures it out lol
[Sprint LG G2] Baconflip:
Hi everyone, I have lg ls980 with D801 ROM and I want to update my android to ls980 4.4.2 ZVC.

What I need to do?

1) Flash D801 4.4.2 with LGUP_8974.DLL

2) Flash LS980 4.4.2 ZVC with stock DLL

my steps are correct?

Sorry for my bad English.

upd: or I need to do factory reset and after that enter download mode and flash the phone using FlashTool and ls980 4.2.2 + LGUP_8974.dll ?
[Sprint LG G2] RohanM:
Directly flash "Flash LS980 4.4.2 ZVC tot with stock DLL"
[Sprint LG G2] Baconflip:
I tried but LG Flash tool showed ERROR Device Model is different!

Are you sure u are having a LS980 ?
[Sprint LG G2] Baconflip:

[Sprint LG G2] dagamer1991:
already unlocked and rooted

hey, i suppose u have the same model as i do, LS980 with unlock.

im on 4.2.2 and rooted with stock recovery,

im getting notification for update to 4.4.2 ZVC OTA,

should i update it ? will i lose my UNLOCK ? (i dont know by which method it was unlocked)
[Sprint LG G2] RohanM:
Go ahead... you will only lose root. Phone will be still unlocked.
[Sprint LG G2] dagamer1991:
thanks rohan, one more question, after the update to KK,

if i install custom recovery and install custom ROMs to try what happens to the unlock ? (if it stays no problem)

but, then i flash to Complete Stock ROM, then will the unlock stay or the phone will be locked again?

PS- i bought the phone from eBay and dont know which method did the seller use to unlock this phone; he talked about entering a code on the phone to unlock.

thanks a lot.
[Sprint LG G2] RohanM:
I can't say abt the roms but if flash a factory .to then the device will get lock again & u will have to unlock it.

I Flashed the 4.2.2 ZVA and I i got an OTA update for ZVC then I try to update it and when it turn on back It was still on 4.2.2 and no notifications for 4.4.2 ...... what could happen? what can I do?
[Sprint LG G2] ChoppedLiver:
Sounds like maybe it attempted to apply the update, but something went wrong and it isn't telling you about it. What are you seeing, and how many reboots happened?

Not sure if your situation is exactly like mine but it sounds like something similar I had happen with the ZVC OTA. In my case I found the problem by looking at /cache/recovery/last_log after the failed update (modified Generic.kl) - see this post. Decent chance you'll find clues in that log file also.
[Sprint LG G2] danieldp1990:
It just reboot once to apply the update to 4.4.2, but when it finish the reboot it was still on 4.2.2 ZVA and not on 4.4.2 ZVC

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

and how did you fix this? do I have to delet something? can you explain me?:good:
[Sprint LG G2] ChoppedLiver:
We don't know yet why the update is failing in your case, so I can't say how to fix it.

First step is to look at that last_log file and find the reason if it is in there, which I think is likely. Can you get this file? Have you looked at it? If you're able to get it off your phone and can post it for download somewhere, I'd be happy to look at it.
[Sprint LG G2] danieldp1990:
Ok il try that, i guess it must be rooted and I must use root explorer right?
[Sprint LG G2] ChoppedLiver:
You need root access to access the file, yes, but root ADB access is enough (if you have full root, you have root ADB access too). You don't have to use root explorer, but you could. Personally I pulled the file off the phone to look at it on a computer, makes it easier to look through the long file rather than try to do that on the small phone screen. That's up to you.

Assuming your phone is rooted and you have USB debugging enabled (you probably do after rooting), and ADB installed on a computer, you can pull the file to the computer like this:

adb pull /cache/recovery/last_log

This will pull the file to the directory you're in, or you can specify a destination dir as a 3rd option. Then just open the file in Notepad++ or whatever viewer/editor you like, and look for errors/failures. If it's there, the problem will likely be found towards the end of the log.

[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
I dont need to know that because this phone is NOT that phone. Sure, if you wanna claim LG's history of updates, or lack thereof, fine. The fact is this phone is and has been updated so that arguement is a moot point when it comes to this specific device.

This device like all others will recieve less and less updating over time. Thats a fact for all devices but for now everyone should be satisfied with how both lg and sprint are managing the G2. If they will fix the overheating/thermal throttling issue im having with miracast and streaming video Ive been having with my G2 then Ill be happy. Im in no hurry for kitkat, my phone is going back to LG a second time for overheating issues. Thats a whole nother discussion tho.
[Sprint LG G2] ghostcamed302:
I had a galaxy Note 2 before this and liked that phone but touchwiz lagged it down, then got the G2 and love the phone. But I'm tempted to either sale/trade to get a HTC One, that phone intrigue me. I'll keep the G2 as a back up or if I ever get spark service. For now I'm liking the G2, just wish there was more case support.

I would rather stay on 4.2 permanently then have a 4.4 update that doesn't work properly. Rushing out an update doesn't do anything positive for anyone. That's why google is already on 4.4.2.. They had to do 2 bug fix updates. And they were not small bugs. I would rather wait and have Kitkat running properly, then have them push it out and let us beta test it for them, and have to do more updates to fix bugs.

[Sprint LG G2] mtg981:
Yes, stock recovery and I think if you've “frozen"or uninstalled certain system apps you might should put them back.
[Sprint LG G2] barleysoda:
No don't go back to a stock recovery if you already have TWRP or a custom recovery. Amazing what some people post in here. Just wait for the rooted version from your favorite ROM dev. The short answer is DO NOTHING to prepare. Just DO NOT take the OTA update.

I really don't understand why people are so impatient for an update that they cant wait an additional day or two for a Dev to release a rooted version that will flash with our custom recoveries? It didn't take long for YouDug to provide us a working copy of the stock ZVA update that we could flash in a custom recovery. Yes sometimes the Dev's have to tweak a recovery to work with the latest update but trust if needed they will get it done.

No need to prepare, no need to relock your phone or go back to stock recovery, no need to change your wallpaper to the default one or put on the same shirt you were wearing the day you bought the phone. Just wait for the release and then wait a day or two longer for the Dev version. You feel the need to prepare for this then clean your reading glasses.

If your bone stock and not rooted then you can take the OTA update at the risk of losing the ability to root now and distant future.
