I guess I've been lucky. Besides going through some BS with a few incompetent Boost reps when trying to activate my phone, I haven't had any major issues. As I mentioned earlier, this is the best stock ROM I've ever ran. I've tried CM 12.1 a few times along with a few other ROMs but I always seem to end up back on rooted stock lol. It's just that good.

I'm glad I finally gave in and bought this phone. My buddy [MENTION=5361232]wyelkins[/MENTION] tried to talk me in to buying it for several months when Best Buy had it on sale for $150. When I finally decided to buy it Best Buy had taken them off sale. I ended up waiting another month or so in the hopes that they would go back on sale, which they did. Best $150 I've spent in awhile.

I got my LS980 for 99$ from Freedom pop. They are selling as low as 89$ now. I am using stock because the Freedom pop dialer didn't work with DU. I am pretty surprised that LG even issues updates for this phone. Used to phone manufacturers just orphaning old phones and just supporting the latest.
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
Yep. Definitely nice to see this phone still getting updates. :thumbup:
[Sprint LG G2] astherion:
Will hope that they update our ls980 to 6.0 marshmallow. They just anounced 6.0 for g4 & g3 so maybe we also get lucky!
[Sprint LG G2] BIGDADDYXXL:
Any chance of downgrading to ZVH if you took the ota.
[Sprint LG G2] tekweezle:
Just tot back to zve, then Ota update to zvg then zvh.

There is probably no easy way to undo an Ota update.
[Sprint LG G2] tekweezle:
Also seems like disabling notifications for the update has blocked my phone from nagging me about installing zvi.

I am fine for now on zvh since my gps seems to work.
[Sprint LG G2] HzMeister:
I tot back to zve and updated to zvi a week ago and so far it's fast and stable. It was a fairly big update so I'm sure A LOT of bugs were patched, especially considering how soon after zvh it came out... Not only is everything running as it should, it also seems to sleep more consistently - just a flat horizontal line in the battery chart anytime the screen is off.

Even tho I lost root, I didn't need it for anything as far as functionality goes and only used it to delete some bloat and for aesthetics. Plus, I got android pay back(I don't use it but it's nice to have just in case). If you don't *need* root I recommend updating to zvi as it's a good update.
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
I agree with tekweezie's post. The only way I know of to downgrade is to tot back to an earlier build. Not really hard to do, just time consuming. If you're looking for root, that's your only option right now.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, ALL!
[Sprint LG G2] astherion:
Happy New Year to all! Sorry for off-top, who tried cm13 on our device? It seems that in all builds doesn't work cdma network, both calls & data. In 12.1 it all works fine, but 13 is much more faster and smoother... but unofficial & laggy...

[Sprint LG G2] talvigi:
Hay, Devs the news for rooting ZVI is wonderfully unbelievable, (for me) because i still couldn't root and unlock my LS980 with ZVG, so for me it's a dream of driving a Ferrari 315 KM per hour.

If you guys would be please to show me poor a way to root my LS980 running ZVG i would really really pray for you guys to be more gentle men in the next life. If any one believe it! (religious people sorry)
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
Alrighty. Here we go......... 1st off, read this and then click the link to my post. The TUT was written for those who were already rooted. Since you haven't rooted yet, you should be able to root via ADB and get TWRP with Autorec. Just pick through the tutorial and get what you need. If you have any questions, PLEASE ask before you start the process. I'll try my best to help you achieve root and TWRP.

Link to my original post which includes zip download.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=63997800

REMEMBER....... If you still have questions after reading all of the info, ask before attempting root. The last thing I want you to end up with is a bricked phone.

As I mentioned above, since you have never rooted you should only need the following out of my TUT. There is a README included in the LG_Root download with ADB commands.

You should only need the ADB download (if you don't already have it).

The LG_Root zip download.

The Autorec download.

Best of luck,

Biker

I tried to sideload the zip file and got 2 error messages. I'm on ZVI. Do I need to go backwards before sideloading?
[Sprint LG G2] tekweezle:
I think it assumes you are rooted and on ZVH or ZVG. If you are on ZVI, you couldn't have TWRP installed because you need root.
[Sprint LG G2] rklurfeld:
TWRP is not needed to get into recovery mode and sideload the images. Since it completely wipes the phone, I don't see why one needs to be on a particular build before applying it.
[Sprint LG G2] tekweezle:
How do you install the zips without TWRP? Are you using ADB from a PC connected via USB cable to push the files to your phone in recovery mode?
[Sprint LG G2] rklurfeld:
Yes, that is exactly what I did, connect phone to PC via USB and use ADB sideload xxx.zip
[Sprint LG G2] Aures Batna:
Yes it works good
[Sprint LG G2] GnatGoSplat:
If you're already rooted on ZVG, flash back to stock recovery so ZVI installs as an OTA update, do you still lose root?
[Sprint LG G2] rklurfeld:
Lost root

Yes I lost root when doing this
[Sprint LG G2] GnatGoSplat:
I don't suppose anyone has tried SuperSU Survival Mode or OTA Rootkeeper? Haven't had luck with either in the past, but I'm guessing someone must have tried them.
[Sprint LG G2] shezzy83:
I have a Sprint Lg g2 that is on boost with the ZVI ota update. I was able to root via Kingroot and then replace kingroot with SuperSU using SuperSU-ME from the app store. I have not tried to get TWRP on tho as I can't find any Boost Mobile Lg2 based roms ( does any one know of any ) ?
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
They're aren't any for the newest update. Only ones for ZVG. I'm still on ZVH. At least I have SU, TWRP, and can use the Hotspot mod. The Dori LP kernel works well too. Just flashed it 2 days ago and it's running like a champ.

We basically have 2 options. Run the stock ROM, debloat and add kernel and Hotspot mod or flash back to ZVG and run the custom ROMs. I'll give the G2 this much, it has one of the best stock ROMs I've ever ran. My phone runs like a champ.
[Sprint LG G2] Gokayyy:
Rom's have the root ?
[Sprint LG G2] GnatGoSplat:
So you're saying you were able to take the ZVI update, and then root after the fact?
[Sprint LG G2] shezzy83:
Yes, I had to use KingRoot from the website then used SuperSU-ME to replace Kingroot with SuperSU.. I was also then able to use Autorec to add TWRP while on ZVI

Do you have a problem with the wifi not working when the screen is off? It's my only problem with this phone and have tried everything..seems to be an android problem which is mostly why I was considering a different android version/rom
[Sprint LG G2] GnatGoSplat:
Were you rooted previously? I wonder if it only worked because you were previously rooted, or if this would have worked on a completely stock phone.
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
I use the WiFi Tether Router app from the Play Store. Bought it back when I had my S3 and AOSP ROMs didn't have the Hotspot working yet. I use it to control the Hotspot mod. It keeps my Hotspot alive when the screen cuts off. It's a paid app but has more than paid for itself over the years. The Dev, Fabio Grasso is awesome. Any issue that are reported to him get answered.

As for my G2 Hotspot, damn sure comes in handy when I don't have wifi and need to use my tablet, desktop, or laptop. If you're having issues with the Hotspot mod, I highly recommend purchasing the app.

Oh, one more thing. I save my backups to my pc. Kaspersky says the app is a Trojan. No worries. It's a false positive. I emailed Fabio about it and he informed me that Play screens its apps before they can be placed on Play. He told me to report the issue to Kaspersky and let them get it taken care of. I've had the app for a few years and Kaspersky just started giving me the false positive after a recent update. No worries there. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case you have an issue like that.
[Sprint LG G2] shezzy83:
No, I was never previously rooted. I bought the phone off swappa ( new in box ) ... I called boost and got it switched from Sprint to Boost..turned it on..it went thru tons of OTA updates until it stopped at ZVI. I found out on here that everyone was using TOT method to go back in versions in order to root . Before I tried that, I downloaded KingRoot..which worked. I did not like KingRoot tho because it phones home for whatever reason constantly. So.. I found SuperSU-ME which is a paid app that removes KingRoot and puts SuperSU in it's place. But, it requires that KingRoot had rooted it before.

so..my phone was a completely stock phone

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

Thanks but wifi tethering is not my issue.. since I'm on stock I can use the native hotspot thru the options with no mod or extra apps needed.

My problem ( and I'm seeing I'm not alone ) is that with Android 5/6 there is an issue where the wifi connection shuts off when the screen gets turned off. I've tried everything from phone/router settings to additional apps with no progress.. I think it has to do with the issue posted below:

Issue 196035:	Intermittent Wifi - IpReachabilityMonitor: FAILURE: LOST_PROVISIONING
[Sprint LG G2] GnatGoSplat:
Hmmm, you must be lucky, or I'm unlucky. I let my phone update from ZVG to ZVH, then finally to ZVI. Ran KingRoot and it says it "Root access is unavailable". I hit "Try to root" anyway. After awhile, it says "Root failed". Tried it 3 times. Did you use the KingRoot app on the phone itself, or the desktop program for Windows?
[Sprint LG G2] rklurfeld:
Sad news from me. I was on ZVI and tried to root. I used Kingroot on my phone and it said I was rooted. I then used Super-sume to delete Kingroot and install Super-Su. After that I rebooted and went into a loop showing the Sprint Spark intro screen. Phone would not get passed that screen. And would not turn off. So eventially I went into recovery mode and turned the power off. This morning I used the LG Flash Tool to install ZVE from a tot file. Then the phone took over the air undates until ZVI was installed. Then I rolled a backup of my apps etc onto the phone. Just lost a few apps and passwords. But I'm back up and running.
[Sprint LG G2] shezzy83:
I downloaded KingRoot from the website from my phone and ran it on my phone. It first said no root method was detected but try anyway and it worked. I reset the phone and it was still rooted so then I did the SuperSU-ME and it worked. No previous root attempts was tried before that 1st Kingroot tho

---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 AM ----------

I literally just figured out a solution to my problem... linked below .. Apparently my phone (android 5.0.2) ipv6 didn't agree with my routers ipv6 so I had to disable ipv6 on my phone using below ( can also be done with apps off the app store )

Fix Lollipop wifi issues (and coincidentally the Facebook app) by disabling ipv6
[Sprint LG G2] GnatGoSplat:
Ok, I managed to get it to work. Later in the evening, I unlocked the phone and then Kingroot was running and had some kind of weird message that it couldn't get root, asked if I want to try again. So I tried again and it finally worked this time. Ran SuperSU-ME and it seemed to work. Ran SuperSU and it said my SU binary needed to be updated, so I let it update and it said "Installation success!" and told me to reboot. So then I rebooted and it's stuck on an LG screen with LED blinking green and cyan. :(
[Sprint LG G2] rklurfeld:
Same experience

I had a similar experience. See my message at the bottom of page 7. I had to reinstall ZVE and upgrade back to ZVI.
[Sprint LG G2] GnatGoSplat:
Yep, I did the same last night. It was a pain, but at least I have my computer setup if I should happen to brick the phone again. Upgraded back up to ZVI and Kingroot worked first time this time. Were you using Super-Sume from the Play Store? I was being cheap and tried the free version from the first tutorial that shows up in a Google Search (android mtk).
[Sprint LG G2] rklurfeld:
Cheap

I used the free version.
[Sprint LG G2] GnatGoSplat:
I think that's the problem. The free version is too old for the current version of KingRoot and causes hang during boot.

In my quest to be cheap, here's what I did after updating back to ZVI:

1. Root using KingRoot.

2. Use AutoRec to install TWRP.

3. Download latest flashable zip version of SuperSU and copy it to device.

4. Go into KingRoot settings and choose "Full unroot" which will uninstall KingRoot and unroot.

5. Uninstall Purity app installed by KingRoot.

6. Reboot into TWRP Recovery and install SuperSU zip file from step 3.

7. Reboot and run SuperSU, it will say binary needs to be updated. Select Normal method. It should work.

8. Reboot when SuperSU has finished updating binary and profit.
[Sprint LG G2] shezzy83:
Yeah , I didn't do this route but I did use the paid version of SuperSU-ME...I can spare 3 bucks. But glad you figured it out ! :good:
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
Nice job. Thanks for sharing. Have you been able to get the hotspot mod working?
[Sprint LG G2] GnatGoSplat:
Haven't tried the Hotspot mod. Is there only one?
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
Yeah. The one made for ZVG. I'm using it with ZVH though. Works great. I use the WiFi Tether app by Fabio Grasso too. Works perfectly.

Here's a post I made on it earlier.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=66199430
[Sprint LG G2] GnatGoSplat:
I'll have to try that some other time. Currently on FreedomPop's free trial and Wifi tether works with the built-in hotspot. I'll be dropping the trial in a week or so, so I can try it then.
[Sprint LG G2] ogloque:
Hi guys, I just got a refurb freedompop LS980 about a month ago, and I'm really confused about a lot of things. I've tried doing my research, but I guess I'm an idiot.

OTA'd to ZVI not realizing root is so hard on it. What I'm getting from this thread is that there is a working method now which is:

1) install Kingo Superuser via playstore (it's the only thing I find when searching for king root, but it says it requires a rooted device? Seems like it's a tool after the fact, not a root method?) note: I only see a free version of this app as well, is there a paid one you're supposed to be using?

2) there's a root button in there somewhere, use this and even if it says there isn't a method for this device try anyway?

3) install the paid version of Super-Sume from the playstore and use that to remove KingRoot and install superSU?

what happens if I brick the phone? Do I use the methods from this thread to flash a stock ZVH or ZVG rom?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

from what I was reading, it sounded like you aren't supposed to flash anything other than the exact same rom your phone had, which would mean I'd need a ZVI rom?

Should I just try to revert to ZVH and root that? How should I go about doing that? Would a factory reset (holding down pwr+voldown when the phones off) revert to ZVG letting me OTA to ZVH then I can try root methods?

lastly: is ZVI the last update this phone will ever receive? Does anyone know?

Sorry for all the noob questions, I came from a 1st gen Moto G and it's been a few years since I messed with any of this stuff. I just remember on there unlocking the bootloader, installing clockworkmod via a command line on my PC and being able to flash whatever rom I wanted after that. The G2 seems a lot more involved and confusing.
[Sprint LG G2] tekweezle:
If you brick your phone, use the tot method to restore back to an earlier version then Ota back to zvg, zvh then zvi if you want. There is a thread dedicated to this in the general forum.
[Sprint LG G2] ogloque:
Great, so I can flash an older rom using that method! Thank you.
[Sprint LG G2] GnatGoSplat:
1. Not Kingo Root, but King Root. You get it here: http://www.kingroot.net/

2. Yes, try anyway, it should eventually work.

3. Yes, you'd need the paid version of Super-Sume, unless you want to save 4 bucks and do it the way I did it with AutoRec and installing TWRP. The free version floating around out there will brick your phone.

The tot method was what I had to do to unbrick it. I couldn't find a ZVG tot file, only ZVE. So I flashed to ZVE and took OTA all the way back up to ZVI.

I think only people at LG know if ZVI is the last update. It probably is unless there's a critical security bug in Lollipop that needs a hotfix.
[Sprint LG G2] ogloque:
Alright, this worked! Was a little wonky, but worked. but I figured I'd share incase anyone else tries this.

First KingRoot attempt failed, second worked. Installed pro Super-Sume and stage 1 went fine, then the app would stop responding after hitting the button again on stage 2, after closing the app and restarting it a few times it eventually prompted for root access again, both from SuperSU and KingRoot (I guess it installed SuperSu while the app wasn't responding even though I waited several minutes) then I got stuck in a loop of repeating messages about SuperSU and KingRoot both granting the application root, but the bar eventually finished, closed it, upgraded SuperSU binary and told it to remove other detected root methods (King), restarted the phone and everything seems good.
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
[MENTION=475136]GnatGoSplat[/MENTION], thanks for the instructions. I flashed back to ZVE and let the phone update, followed your instructions = PROFIT! I've been waiting awhile on this. THANKS!
