Results

I have been running this since it came out. I really dont understand everyones problem with this. Maybe im lucky but my battery life has been great. And phone is very responsive. I am currently working on getting root. I feel using chainfires systemless roo will be the way to go. Im just firguring out how to inject it into our kernel. But all in all i have not found any significant glitches or peoblems with this build. And i use my phone quite a bit with brightness at full tilt. Anyways maybe im lucky. But i cant imagine my phone is the only one running this thats getting good results.
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
I tried that already.. No difference
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
If you can, please attach the log of flash fail with it set at COM41.

Any info is better than none and maybe we can figure this out with that info.
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
I had battery issues the first day but seems like it's playing quite nice now. Using wifi and auto brightness with moderate screen use, 21h 33 min used and 45% remaining. Getting about what I normally would.
[Sprint LG G4] kangta05:
Cool, that is more promising. Once root is taken care of this might be our next big thing :)
[Sprint LG G4] autoprime:
There's gotta be some way to downgrade. No fuse is getting blown. So this isn't some bootloader-level protection stopping you from flashing. Unfortunately I don't have this device so I can't tinker... but between LG Flash, the newly leaked LGUP, the codefire DLL and perhaps a newer LGUP_8994.dll from the H815 M KDZ... there should be a combo to get it to work.

As for root... Chainfire's systemless root isn't going to work unless you unlock the bootloader. Systemless root requires a custom boot.img.... unlocked bootloader is required to use custom boot.img's. Not saying root is impossible.... but it's not going to happen with a custom boot.img (without unlock). Unlikely that it will work by injecting system.img either (like current Lollipop method). It will require something new altogether... root somehow being used outside of both boot and system.
[Sprint LG G4] danweb66:
Thanks for the reply auto. Well im glad i did not spin too many wheels trying to make that root method work. Well i guess its find somthing new or unlock bootloader. When i flashed this it said qfuse on. Does this mean that the fuse is not tripped or vice versa?

There it says 0x200 at the end,
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
This shows you're trying to flash ZV6. What happens if you try to flash ZV9 again?

And have you tried extracting/using this DLL instead? http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G4/LGUP_8994_DLL_Ver_0_0_3_23.msi

(Error is fail to open communications port COM41.)
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
I can access recovery mode it looks like and ill try that. and i get the same error with zv9

Dosent work. Gives me LG Previous Load Failed

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------

Well i do have the boot system and recovery images backed up. THANK GOD!! if someone can tell me how to make a flashable zip for stock recovery that would be nice
[Sprint LG G4] danweb66:
If you can get into recovery try to adb sideload the zv6 ota update.zip file. You will need the newest adb to work.
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
Do you know where i can download the update zip file?
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
You can't make a flashable zip for stock recovery, we don't have the keys to sign a ZIP that would be approved.

To confirm, you're using LG Flash tool, the Codefire G4 dll, and your screen selections are the same as here?
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
Do not do this, the ZV6 zip will fail on the assert.

That update.zip is specifically from ZV5 to ZV6 only.
[Sprint LG G4] danweb66:

[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
Yes im using the same codefire one
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
(Edit: Manual mode should also be checked, forgot to do before I took screenshot.)
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
Give me a minute to back up some apps and try flashing it a second time.

And you cannot boot into anything right now?
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
Yeah manual mode was checked too. Im gonna send it to LG if i cant fix it by today

---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------

I can boot into recovery and download mode thats about it
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
Almost backed up. As sad as this sounds, I do not want to lose my Neko Atsume progress for a third time.
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
Ahh good luck. i have my lg rma ready to go so if i cant fix it today, thinking of shipping it tomrrow. I need this phone soon as im heading out of the country..
[Sprint LG G4] Juanito216:
Build working well for me.
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
Appearently this build is based on the http://www.droid-life.com/2015/10/06/download-marshmallow-ota-nexus-mra58k/ Nexus
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
OK, went into download mode, tried flashing ZV9 on top of ZV9 - got this:

http://pastebin.com/HWBrnSJA

So something has changed on flash after this.

Tried LGUP says model shows unknown. Pinging [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] as he may know answer.

Pulled battery, re-inserted, booted back to ZV9 without issue. So looks like for now I'm stuck on ZV9 until it's figured out.

Yeah i told you..
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
Sorry, I'm not sure what's going on here. I'm going to split the TOT and take a look at a few things.
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
Wait cant you replace the z9 recovery in the tot with z5 then use the z6 ota?
[Sprint LG G4] autoprime:
you ran the dll installer rather than manually extracting the dll? this makes proper edits in the registry which should add the g4. then it will take some trial and error to find out which dll you need. then lgup should work and flash any TOT you want.

I updated post #2 in this thread to outline all the steps! Everyone should use LGUP from now on.
[Sprint LG G4] kangta05:
We need to get you a damn phone lol
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
The ls991 is already in the register. LGUP will work wit tot files i tought it was KDZ only?

A thread on how to fix factory status 2 have been made :D

http://xdaforums.com/sprint-g4/development/howto-downgrade-to-zv6-upgrade-to-t3265976
[Sprint LG G4] Swetnes:
Not sure why your battery life is so bad...it's been my experience that it is significantly better. Now I haven't had time to check SOT. But with normal use, especially with location services and Bluetooth on I get significantly better battery than I did with 5.1. With that being said it wasn't bad with LP. But now I am getting comparable life what I had with my G2 on Kit Kat. And the bonus of better performance...the ONLY negative is with Android Pay...for some reason it thinks my phone is rooted, or at least it's giving me the same error as if it were when trying to activate my debit card...this, however should be fixed once it becomes official. I can wait but it's just annoying.
[Sprint LG G4] ironbesterer:
Did all these steps, even tried to go back to ZV6, and I still get the status 2 screen. I don't think there is much more that I can do at this point. I'm praying that LG will fix it after I make up a dumb excuse like I did a factory reset and it came to this screen. :crying:
[Sprint LG G4] autoprime:
that's strange that it thinks your are rooted. I wonder if this is a debug build or something? Just fo kicks.. has anyone tried to run "su" while in ADB shell?

adb shell

su

I doubt it is.. but can't hurt to check. :fingers-crossed:

That's strange. And you've tried LGUP while using the FOTA option (not upgrade)? [MENTION=5933283]Awesomeslayerg[/MENTION] said he was able to use the FOTA option from within LGUP... after starting the TOT flash it got to 9% then an error popped up. Ignore the error and don't touch anything... then after a bit the flashed continued and eventually finished... fixing his phone.
[Sprint LG G4] ironbesterer:
Did that. The phone just hung at 0%. Waited around 15 minutes and till nothing. Even tried to go back to ZV6. Still got the blue screen.
[Sprint LG G4] Swetnes:
Well I didn't think so but just for giggles I tried and phone is definitely not rooted. Your probably correct about an early debug version or the fact that Google doesn't yet recognize it as official hence the error. [emoji17]
[Sprint LG G4] autoprime:
ooh but you CAN flash zv6? just stuck back at blue screen after?

if and only if you were able to flash zv6 with lgup... do this...

1. flash zv6 and get stuck at blue screen.

2. power off phone and close lgup.

3. boot into download mode again.

4. this time.. instead of using LGUP.. use LG Flash method.

5. make sure you set LG Flash to use "Board DL" at the bottom of the screen where u select dll and tot.

6. should be able to flash either zv6 or zv9 using LG Flash (with Board DL option).

shucks.. so when you ran su it said no su binary found? sometimes special debug builds have the su binary already installed. ah well..
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
Guys i dont rememberhow i fixed it sorry. I wouldve messed it up again but i dont know if it will work again..
[Sprint LG G4] Swetnes:
That would be correct...no su binary found. Well you know the old saying "there is no such thing as a free lunch". [emoji12]
[Sprint LG G4] ironbesterer:
Wait wait wait... No DODOwnload error and it's flashing... Will report back.

OP updated. 2nd post is now considered mandatory reading.
[Sprint LG G4] Swetnes:
Well I tried the Android Pay again this morning and it worked! So apparently Google's servers now recognize ZV9...could this mean the official launch is imminent?
[Sprint LG G4] PureLife90:
Anybody find a way to get WiFi tethering to work? Quick short cut maker doesn't work. It keeps saying that it needs additional permissions. Really need this feature back. Hate that I'm stuck on M.
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
You can downgrade now
[Sprint LG G4] s049031:
This is my usage so far on one recharge cycle. Light usage, mostly at work on my breaks.

I'd love to try this but not sure if I can sim unlock it after upgrading to 6.0???
[Sprint LG G4] mswlogo:
That's pretty vague. Are you saying you have it working on Sprint G4 with Marshmallow?

I think a few folks would jump on this if they can get tether without root. I would.
[Sprint LG G4] danweb66:
It does not work. It is not asking for those kind of permissions. You cant just simply turn them on.
[Sprint LG G4] wilsonch1551:
This was so easy and no wait for Sprint to update

I am running MM now and loving it and it took less then an hour between down loads and doing the update through my computer. Thank you all so much for this info.
[Sprint LG G4] rafal2006:
Do you have to be rooted to flash this and is it gonna void warranty
[Sprint LG G4] Swetnes:
Root or no root doesn't matter and even though it's hasn't been officially released it is an official rom so it shouldn't void the warranty.
[Sprint LG G4] carrilloevo:
thanks for the tutorial!!!! everything went smooth on the process of updating to MM
[Sprint LG G4] rafal2006:
No matter what i do it says unknown device,installed drivers try 5 different cables disconnecting couple of times any ideas
[Sprint LG G4] Swetnes:
Are you plugging into a USB 3.0 (blue) port? Won't work if you are. Also did you reboot after each uninstall and reinstall the drivers?
[Sprint LG G4] wilsonch1551:
Update on Battery life, I used it pretty heavy yesterday without charging and was impressed that it went all day so 9 - 8pm before I needed to plug it in. I was on and off two games all day and lots of surfing. I am liking the update. Very smooth and much faster.
[Sprint LG G4] Juanito216:
I'm a root type of guy but I don't want to go back to lollipop. Maybe it is doze, but it has stayed on 100% for sometime. With root, this would be nicer.
[Sprint LG G4] PureLife90:
Still no ways of root for this yet!? Argh! Lol I want m back but until we obtain root and can have the ability to debloat and use xposed, I cannot use this. I have to have my YouTube ad away and background play.
[Sprint LG G4] carrilloevo:
If I apply this update, when they push the OTA am I gonna be able to receive it or should I apply it this way too... Of course once the TOT comes out
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
Update: ZV9 source has dropped on LG Open Source. So looks like they plan to go live with this one folks.

Those that haven't updated, a capture of the OTA zip would be most appreciated. I'll update OP shortly.
[Sprint LG G4] Swetnes:
Good to see that, kinda figured it was when suddenly Android Pay started working.

LIFESAVER! tried a few root methods and none worked. on the third attemp and different process it was a softbrick. think i will wait til there is a idiot proof root method for ZV6, lol

[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:

Yeah
[Sprint LG G4] carrilloevo:
Is this the official one?
[Sprint LG G4] surge27:
OK, was able to update flawlessly to ZV9. Thanks for sharing Garwynn! Runs smooth and interested to see how battery life is. One thing I noticed....can't make SD card internal storage which is standard for 6.0 but did LG or Sprint kill this feature? Im using a SanDisk card so kinda weird.
[Sprint LG G4] Swetnes:
That is a feature that was intended for low end devices (i.e. 8 gb storage). Google never intended it for higher end phones like ours. The penalty for using that feature is slower performance. But a phone or tablet with only 8 gb of storage that is an acceptable trade-off. Make sense?
[Sprint LG G4] surge27:
Well, Moto X Pure on 6.0 with 64 gb internal merges SD with internal storage. So what you say makes sense but don't think the feature is defaulted for devices that are low end. MXP has the 808 like the G4 does
[Sprint LG G4] Swetnes:
The MXP runs pure Android just like the Nexus phones...so its going to have all the features, even ones that are not needed. LG from a service standpoint removed it.
[Sprint LG G4] surge27:
That's what I'm thinking which is disappointing
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
Ota is out!!
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
Updating the title of the thread and link to update notes now that it's official.

If anyone gets the OTA zip please send me a link and I'll add to OP.
[Sprint LG G4] PureLife90:
Think we can obtain root now that it's official?
[Sprint LG G4] misteroh:
Is the performance improvement drastic? That's really the only thing that's tempting me, but I want to keep root + xposed + snapprefs.
[Sprint LG G4] PureLife90:
I'm on the same boat as you. When I had the unofficial marshmallow build on my phone, it ran smooth! I just want my xposed and YouTube modules back.

Would know if I was able to use an update.zip going from ZV6 to ZV9 will it fix my laf partition? I cannot access my download mode because I wrote the wrong laf.img. If anyone has the ZV6 or ZV9 update.zip can they pm or please share a download link to it. Thanks.
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
Use the TOT its easier
[Sprint LG G4] ksimpsonel:
No DL Mode
[Sprint LG G4] Tlab56:
What would be the difference if I use the unofficial .tot uploaded on the 4th? Will I still get future OTAs? Sorry if that's a n00b question.... :p
[Sprint LG G4] Silenus21:
What is the status of root on M?

Is root available only on the bootloader unlocked variants?
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
Well you are rooted right? If do o can give you the laf.img. and you can use shell to puah it back.
[Sprint LG G4] ksimpsonel:
No, I'm not rooted. That's the killer no root or no DL Mode. I guess I'll be taking it back for an exchange...
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
could you explain to me how you wrote the wrong laf img?
[Sprint LG G4] ksimpsonel:
I wasn't laying attention to what I was doing and used the G3 root method and when I seen it was trying to flash the laf I tried to stop it but I was too late. So it has a G3 laf for ZV8...smh
[Sprint LG G4] BillyxAllen:
You mauly or may not be correct -_-.... Lol... Btw it's so much easier to update an lg now

Is it just me or is screen brightness insanely bright on zv9. Have to keep screen brightness set at 10-12%with auto brightness turned off

Anyone that has installed the unofficial 6.0, does it has the Sprint splash boot and shutdown or is it international boot and shutdown splash screens?

I flashed this on 12/17 and find the battery life horrible. Wiped, didn't install any new apps, tried everything and I find myself charging at a minimum twice a day with moderate use. Brightness is at 10%. Tried the second battery that I got for the phone through the promotion when I bought it and same results. Anyone else have these kind of results and find a solution?
[Sprint LG G4] jkcarp94:
Have you considered the possibility that whoever posted this is wrong about the fact that it's the final build?
[Sprint LG G4] Swetnes:
Look at your battery usage and see where the drain is coming from. There is perhaps an app that hasn't been updated that maybe going wonky with MM. The majority of us have gotten better battery life, so there has to be something installed that is doing this.

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------

So they posted the un-final ZV9 as opposed to the final ZV9? That's a new one...lol. Its the same buddy. [emoji28]
[Sprint LG G4] Blars1206:
I checked battery usage and nothing stands out as the culprit. Over performance is great and noticeably bettter. Just says estimated battery life is a little over 6 hours.

Android System is 14%, Google Services is 11% and Andoird OS is 11%....Those are the highest a about 6%.

I guess I'll keep playing around, keep reading and see if I can figure something out.

Thanks for the response!!
[Sprint LG G4] Swetnes:
Those seem a lot too high. Google services, Android System & Android OS shouldn't be over 10%, let alone all 3. Try turning off location services for at least a couple of battery cycles (few days) and you should start seeing an improvement. There is probably an app that is pinging location constantly. Write down the other apps showing under battery usage. Then compare to the list you have with locations services off and any apps that are different between the two is more than likely your culprit. Good luck.
