Sprint update

**that.rick22** · 01-10-2013, 12:33 PM

Has anyone updated to the new version? I keep pressing update software but nothing is there anyway to force it? I am rooted

**Little Darwin** · 01-10-2013, 12:46 PM

I am not rooted, and I see nothing when I try to do a firmware update either... and same with LG software...

**Larry Thomas** · 01-10-2013, 01:09 PM

No update yet for me either (not rooted). Looking at the enhancement list above I don't understand what 'LCD 2nd source' means. Anyone know?

**chipr#AC** · 01-10-2013, 01:14 PM

I installed the update. The ONLY effect I've seen so far is that I lost root on my phone.

I suspect it's a minor bugfix release. I don't see any changes or improvements -- definitely not Jelly Bean.

BE WARNED: I have not been able to re-root the phone. Using the procedure in the sticky thread, I get the prompt on the phone to do the restore, I get popup messages on the phone saying restore starts and a few seconds later restore finishes ... but then nothing. Before, the next step is that it would reboot. Now it's just sitting there.

Would appreciate it if anybody has any information on this, or pointers to alternate rooting methods.

The latest ZV9 OTA update can't be rooted (so far). If you want to have ZV9 and root you will have to LGNPST back to older version reroot/unlock and load up one of the ROMs over at XDA.

This update fixes the texting bug where it jumps back to the beginning of textbox AFAIK, among other things.

Also Sprint pushes updates out in small batches, if you have haven't gotten the notification yet, you will soon...

Just got it this morning!

What does lcd second source mean? I upgraded this morning too and it seems that it has fixed the texting issue.

Has anyone tried keeping root with Voodoo OTA Root Keeper (or equivalent)?

**jhasty** · 01-14-2013, 02:33 PM

I took the plunge and Voodoo OTA Root Keeper worked. Now rooted with V9.

Was going to try this also. Heard it worked for others but they were ATT not Sprint. Thanks for the info that it worked!

**that.rick22** · 01-17-2013, 01:25 AM

I've updated 3 times and it still says it's on v8

**klokateer123** · 01-17-2013, 01:34 AM

I've updated to zv9 and ever since I can't send mms is anyone else having this issue?

yesterday i was having a ton of issues sending mms and regular sms. my phone kept saying it was unable to send or was taking a long time to send and my friends would get duplicates.

**klokateer123** · 01-17-2013, 10:21 AM

Well I found out that the root of my problem was the ad block plus app I downloaded from the market. Apparently it blocked my WiFi and my mms and other things maybe. :thumbup:

I just got this update pushed to me. And I confirm the version number updated. All good. Anyone discover anything interesting or useful about this update?

**megamaster5** · 01-27-2013, 06:38 PM

It fixes the Screen responsiveness while charging which is AMAZING
