I did the Google Framework Services clear data/force stop about 30 times and I'm finally getting it. :good:

Beware that clearing the Google Framework Services data can cause issues with Google apps and the Play store and you may have issues down the road.

When side loading, it goes on fine but at the end it aborts because the media_profiles.xml has "unexpected contents". Any ideas?
[Sprint LG G2] autoprime:
in your original directions to force zvc update you mentioned stock recovery apply update option. you were able to get to that on ZVA?

could you explain how you were able to get to that menu exactly? My new root method for kitkat uses this mode.. but it requires you to be on KK to see this mode(which you mention is needed to force ZVC)... problem is.. TMO users are unable to see this stock recovery menu and therefore are unable to root.

So if theres some other way to get to this menu besides "adb reboot recovery" then maybe TMO users can use it to root their KK phones.

anyone know how to get to this STOCK recovery screen while NOT on KK? i went back to stock ZVA.. and I'm trying to get to it... "adb reboot recovery" doesnt get me there(shows a quick system update msg then reboots phone)... and using hardware buttons to get to recovery shows me the typical "hard reset" menu.

*EDIT*

nevermind! [MENTION=3838610]jcwxguy[/MENTION] was able to answer me on the following page.
[Sprint LG G2] PieceOfCake:
Wait... I'm confused... Did anyone successfully flash the zip with a custom recovery? (if thats even possible)
[Sprint LG G2] jcwxguy:

OK little help just explain me this once and just answer I'm a real noob but have lots of experience flashing and using adb

1.I flashed the stock recovery but when I try go boot I get the secure boot error

2.can I go to complete stock and take the ota with everything stock and nothing would happen

3.if im on stock based ROM and I wanted to get to KitKat official with that ota link how would I do that

4.my cousin is rooted and is on KitKat with twrp and its official kitkat form the ota but he's not telling me how because he's a derp

Dude you are awesome thanks I was worried I bricked the phone or something.
[Sprint LG G2] thelgog:
If your not catching on he did
[Sprint LG G2] -viperboy-:
I know you all are excited for KK, but I would strongly advise not going about this on your own for now unless you're on COMPLETELY STOCK ZVA (no TWRP, no root). While you might be successful otherwise, I wouldn't play with it right now. There are some issues right now that devs are actively working on.

In case you're thinking "gee -viperboy-, you're sure a stick in the mud!", as a dev, I have some idea of what I'm doing, and while testing something out for this, I am unable to get into download mode anymore. Someone else lost LTE during testing. These issues will all be figured out soon, but I really hope people heed my advice and hang on for a little bit longer.
[Sprint LG G2] tbob18:
Quite impressed so far. The biggest difference for me is the rotation speed, it is so much more responsive. Before I found the delay rather annoying. Of course everything opens a bit faster and scrolling is smoother across the board (much less stutter in the Play Store, but it does still stutter).

LG should have also made the Quick Settings white/grey to match the status bar, of course this can probably be fixed with xposed down the road.

BTW I was completely stock when I took the OTA (as viperboy mentioned, too risky otherwise).
[Sprint LG G2] autoprime:
not sure if anyone confirmed... but as suspected.. my ioroot25 works on ZVC. both manual method and scripts/bat should work.
[Sprint LG G2] tbob18:
Nice! EFS backup seem to be working properly?
[Sprint LG G2] autoprime:
efs backup in the script doesnt run for people on 4.4.2 because it uses a completely diff root method. without it being rather annoying there's not an easy way to automate that in a script now. root now happens in stock recovery and theres no root in adb shell until the phone reboots. and then after the reboot you'll have to grant root thru supersu etc etc. blah. :/

if you want efs backup on 4.4.2 after rooting.. youll have to use adb shell while booted up(and in airplane mode) to backup the 2 efs partitions manually.

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst1 of=/sdcard/modemst1.img

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst2 of=/sdcard/modemst2.img

the above commands will save efs to your sd card. from there you can use adb pull to grab the files on the computer.. or email em to yourself or w/e.

Of course, if you already have an efs backup from before.. you dont need another.
[Sprint LG G2] rsanchez1:
Thanks for the info -viperboy-, very good to know. I'm eagerly awaiting workaround to this issue.
[Sprint LG G2] sclarktay4:
Dang it. got too excited when ota came through. I downloaded and installed and now I can only boot into TWRP. Should have read first. Do i have to use lgflashtool to get back in business or is there a way to fix this without wiping everything
[Sprint LG G2] tbob18:
Thanks for the info. I haven't rooted this phone yet since my last phone decided to corrupt the efs a few weeks after rooting (I know - I should have made a backup).

Guys as mentioned in Sprint 4GRU forums clear google services framework data and stop it. Then check for update by hitting it like 10 times repeatedly. You will get the update, everyone I know has tried as well it works. Took me 10 tries and I got it don't know if being on 3G instead of wifi the last attempt helped, but completed download after switching to wifi just now.

[Sprint LG G2] sclarktay4:

[Sprint LG G2] Stl Dark Knight:
You have no choice but to wait for a flashable zip or you will get a boot loop if you try.
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
Hey folks...

Good news and bad news.

Good news: The ZIP patches the files okay and I've simplified the process.

Bad news: The end result at the moment doesn't boot. I'm still trying to find the cause.

Can't be too many things, the aboot revert, the kernel we're using or combination of both.

At this point I'm just trying to see if I can make it work and then tweak it from there.

Unfortunately I can't let these out into the wild. You can restore from a backup but that doesn't do much.

The end solution is either ZVC or TOT revert so far.

I'll keep everyone updated but for now... if you want the OTA I suggest unroot and go to stock recovery.

Update, reroot and go from there.
[Sprint LG G2] hhhstonehhh:
No, i rooted after the update
[Sprint LG G2] supasanch24:
Thanks for the info. One more question. Did you remove things like Xposed or any other mods that required root?
[Sprint LG G2] adamjt:
I just took the plunge and upgraded using the OTA update and no boot loop. I am stock but rooted. Using stock launcher. I did lose root.
[Sprint LG G2] petarmarinov37:
I just tried sideloading the update zip. Everything seemed to be going fine until it brought me to some new recovery not quite like the original one. I figured cool, the update installed a new recovery. I hit reboot now, and it is now in a bootloop. It cannot turn on whatsoever. It also took me 20+ tries to even get the phone to enter recovery mode.... So doing that again may not even be possible. What can I do? Is there something I can easily flash to restore the original software? If all else fails I can take it to Sprint and get it replaced... But they'll charge me $25 for that. Thanks!

Ok gang, I'm at a loss. I'm downloading the update for the third time this evening. Each time it has successfully downloaded, apparently passed the filecheck and given me the okay to reboot after updating my profile.

So I press the button, the phone reboots, and I see the android logo with a little green bar showing the install progress. The progress bar seems to get about a quarter to a third of the way to full then it immediately jumps to full and the phone reboots. However when I check the software version I am still on 4.2.2 and my radio is still ZVA. Any ideas???

Edit: Rooted via ioroot under 4.2.2, removed and factory reset prior to first attempt at update. Have always been on stock recovery.

Checking in: Downgrade to ZV7 went fine. Accepting firmware updates back to ZVA was very easy. I got the ZVC Kitkat update to show by clearing data and Force stopping Google Services Framework. Some users have had it take 10, 20, or even 30 tries of this, but it probably only took me 5 or 6. I'm on ZVC right now and just rebooted after using ioroot25 to get root back. Going to look around here to get some customizing back with Xposed.
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
Yep the Google Services Framework wipe and stop method is best for unrooted users like me, it takes a few tries but definately works. People on another forum and my experience (Last attempt switched to 3G) is that if on 3G while attempting it, it's more likely to work. Then finish downloading via wifi.

To clarify, downgrade still works, right? My father has the pending ZVC update, and I'm trying to determine the best way to go about this. He's on pure ZVA, so either way he'd have to downgrade something to get a recovery. He just doesn't want to be perma-locked like on our old phones. So I guess just update to ZVC, then downgrade to ZV7 and recovery at a later date if need be? Thanks!
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
You can downgrade to other versions but to get to recovery you just need to downgrade aboot. If you look in my modified ZVC OTA thread I've posted instructions on how to revert aboot to get in and/or flash custom ROMs... and how to flash back the ZVC version to get back to stock.

BTW, tested ZVC modem with AOKP and Furnace and no changes from ZVA. You'll need the downgraded aboot but then treat as if you were on ZVA for AOSP ROMs.
