Stock ROM

I've got a Sprint LS660 that I've successfully rooted, but I would like to reinstall the stock ROM since I broke a couple things along the way. There was a zip that was posted in the original development thread, but that one's failing verification when I try to flash it with TWRP.

Maybe I'm missing something? Is there a step-by-step on how to flash back to the stock ROM with links to known working files?

EDIT: On ZV4, by the way.

Yah i got it. Sorry for posting so much. But i am on zv5 and want to go back to zv4 because i cant make phone calls and no music or play youtube videos.

So I think the lg keyboard is broken because a little after a reset of the phone the keyboard glitches and stops working well. There is no audio at all. No ringtone or music and no google now stuff. No phone calls. And no vidwos

And it also does random restarts. This is a great phone but I don't know what I did to break it. It worked wonderfully before. I didn't screw up the rooting process that I know of. I had to try it 3 times but never made a big mistake

So glad to have my battery back! lol :D

I was trying to flash lollypop with a link that was in the Dev thread. It didn't work, so I wiped it and restored my Default rooted rom (been working for a couple weeks)

Problem is now I have no phone system or network connection. I've wiped and installed the factory rom, same thing occurs.

I tried changing my boot animation with Rom toolbox pro. I get the initial LG logo but then just a black screen how do I go about fixing this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpshelley2:
did you make sure it was the right size? our screens are 480x800.

if it's the right size and it's still not working, try another one. if it still fails, it might be a problem with rom toolbox.

if you're still having issues, you could always change the boot animation manually with a file explorer.

Ok I'm having a check of a time trying to set a boot animation. I'm trying to use Rom toolbox pro boot animation utility. I have the proper size but it just won't work. Help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpshelley2:
try doing it manually. search the web for the boot animation you want, and download bootanimation.zip

in a root file explorer, go to the /system/media folder and look for the boot animation files there. if you see a bunch of them, you're in the right spot.

now look for the boot animation in that folder that has virgin in its name.. that's the one we need to change. make sure you have your system folder writable in your file manager and rename this one to bootanimation.old or something.

once you've done that, rename the boot animation file that you downloaded so that it matches the one we renamed earlier.

once you've done that, copy it into your system/media folder and reboot.

if all went well, you should see the animation when you reboot. make a backup first and let me know if you have any questions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coonrooter711:
Have you tried exposed framework thats what I'm using i haven't tried changing my boot animation yet but will try and let you know

What image format do the images need to be? Does anyone have the original boot animation.zip and bootanimation_virgin.zip from the tribute?

the images should already be in the correct format inside bootanimation.zip

I removed mine, I turned off boot animation so the phone starts faster, so unfortunately I don't have them for you.

I'm running nova prime and I removed "Home" with titanium backup. Still have double tap to wake. I wouldn't mind using it if it worked reliably. Since it's not, I know its wasting CPU cycles keeping the digitizer active all the time.

Update: Figured out how to disable double tap power on. Download "Quick shortcut maker". Search for "knockon", select settings, then 2nd result. Click "try". Disable double tap power knockon. Save battery.

I shouldnt say I figured it out as much as scoured the internet for the solution.

[Q] Unfortunately, Settings has stopped - Error / loop

Boost / Sprint LG Tribute LS660 - V4

Windows 7 Ultimate

All drivers installed

Not to shabby with ADB / Fastboot / CMD

I have read through every page in this thread and also the "[Q] Anyone interested in LG Tribute development?" Thread

located here http://xdaforums.com/android/help/lg-tribute-development-t2953342

I have also searched google for quite sometime for a fix, maybe a flashable .zip of maybe the settings.apk or the CyanogenMOD that has been released for this phone but I have not had any luck...... So......

Problem..... I followed the root guide from this post

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772

After doing so everything was fine. A family emergency came up and I had to leave home in a hurry. When I returned home

2 days later I was not real sure where I left off so I did not realize I did not install TWRP. I immediately went through my files I have backed up on my PC and installed root app delete and started removing bloatware, I do not recall removing anything that I normally wouldn't remove. I rebooted the phone and when it booted up I have a blank grey screen with the error "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" with a OK button. Clicking the OK button makes the error disappear for about 1 second and the screen flashes black, then grey and the error msg. reappears, click OK and it just repeats / loops.

Like I said, after 2 days of being sidetracked I forgot to install a recovery.... However I can boot into the stock recovery and I can also boot into Download mode . While attached to the PC and doing a "adb devices" I get an empty list, also when doing a "fastboot devices" I get an empty list. The PC does, at times, recognize the internal /External SD cards and I am able to copy files to / from them in "my computer".

I hate that I made such a n00b mistake and I apologize for having to make someone work harder than you already are, my mind was elsewhere for sure.

Any and all help, advice and probably a swift kick in the arse will be appreciated

. TIA for your time and effort.;

Take~Care!

i had the error loop to no twrp recovery but this is what i did. follow this post to put twrp on it. but i still cant get stock tho..

1. First grab the files you are gonna need. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5pmjmgixl...3BrXay4Za?dl=0 Download the: adb-setup.exe, CT_HsPhone_General_Drivers, Stockboot.img, StockRecovery.img, Recovery_bumped.img, ports.bat, Send_Command.exe

2. Install adb-setup.exe and CT_HsPhone_General_Drivers

3. Then you want to boot up into downloadmode. Vol + and plug in USB

4. Double click ports.bat (This will give us the COM port in which our device is connected we are looking for the Diag port)

5. Then open a command prompt run these commands it will put fastboot on your phone.

Send_Command.exe \\.\COM4(replace COM4x with the correct COM#)

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf

6. Then once that is down pull battery then boot up into downloadmode again but this time it will be fastboot.

7. Once in fastboot run this command to put TWRP back onto the boot partition.

fastboot boot recovery_bumped.img*

8. Once that is done pull the battery and let the phone boot into TWRP.

9. After that flash the FactoryBoot.img to the boot partition and the FactoryRecovery.img to the recovery partition.

10. Reboot and enjoy stock phone again.

How did you guys change the font? Thru an app or did you use a file manager like Root explorer?

you can do it manually or with an app. I've done it successfully both ways, as long as you're putting the fonts in the right place with the right permissions, you should be okay.
