[GUIDE] Optimus V ZVJ
For those who are not the best with reprogramming an entire phone: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

For advanced users that like advanced stuff

Read everything before attempting, make sure you are comfortable with these programs.
(There are more later in the guide.)

Ok, before you start saying data won't work, it WILL work. I have tested this myself with an Optimus V ZV4 baseband. Now what won't work is MMS, which is why we have this thread: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Support for the Optimus V on ZVJ is in that thread, which is why it was created.

Now to get LGNPST set up:

[INFO]
What You Need:
1. Drivers installed
2. [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
  [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
3. [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] YOU MUST BE ON LGNPST 1.3
4. [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]----Thank you asadullah!
5. [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
6. [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
7. Your SPC code, get it by following the youtube video. Thank you asadullah!
[/INFO]

[YT]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_bSUGSnkak[/YT]

DO NOT OPEN LGNPST until I say so.
[BOX="Steps"]
Step 0: Enable the Administrator account (Windows Vista/7 users only. Windows XP users skip to Step 1.)
-Click Start
-type "cmd" (without quotes)
-right click cmd
-Run as Admin
type "net users Administrator /active:yes" (without quotes)
type "net users Administrator * " (without quotes)
Hit enter 3 times
Log off
Select the Administrator account.
FROM NOW ON you will only use this account for the entire process.
Because this program has issues when it is not used/installed via the actual Admin account. Normally install issues and running issues.

Step 1: Install LGNPST>Reboot>Extract and install everything in LGNPST Components.zip

Step 2:
-Extract VM670.dll to C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\Model\MTP (create folders if they don't exist) and Right-click VM670.dll press Register Active X DLL
-Extract LS670.dll to C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\Model\MTP\LS670 and and Right-click LS670.dll press Register Active X DLL
The LS670 DLL must be in a seperate folder before you register it!

Step 3: Connect phone while in recovery mode. If using VM670NH recovery, you must boot into phone and open the PORT by dialing ##7678# then enter SPC code> then check the checkbox. Leave the phone alone now.

Step 4: Open LGNPST, make sure it connects to your phone.

Step 5: Go to where you registered the VM670.dll
Copy the file called VM670_COM##.nvs and paste it to a place you will remember it.
If file doesn't exist yet, press Phone Setting>Enter SPC>Press Read, then close it and go look for the file now.

YOU MUST HAVE THIS FILE BEFORE CONTINUING AND BACKED UP! FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL RESULT IN PERMANENT 3G/DATA LOSS ON YOUR PHONE. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE BY YOUR MISTAKE.
IF YOUR COMPUTER HAS HDD PROBLEMS, YOU BETTER BACK IT UP TO A FLASH DRIVE!

Step 6: Disconnect phone, put it in emergency mode.
[INFO]If you do not know how to do this, you shouldn't be doing this, go learn more about the Optimus V.[/INFO]

Step 7: Select LS670.dll and the bin file that you extracted from the RAR Archive.

Step 8: Press Start

Step 9: Go eat a cookie with some milk because this will take a while.

Step 10: When it is done, you will notice everything zeroed out. Press the Data tab and then browse to where you backed up the VM670_COM##.nvs file. Press Start> Press Yes.
Reboot the phone if it doesn't automatically after it hits 100%.

Step 11: Flash a Virgin Mobile PRL
Press Provision tab, PRL/ERI
Go to the top where it says "Tool (T)" and press Show Only Old UI
Select Write, Checkmark PRL and Nam1 and Nam2
Browse and select to where you extracted the PRL file
Press Start, Enter SPC if asked.
Phone will reboot.

Step 12: Now follow this to get AAA/HA keys and to reprogram the phone for data to work:

Do not forget, to get into recovery mode, it will now be Power+Menu+Volume Down because of key switch.
Congrats you are on LS670ZVD, now follow this guide to root and to get ZVJ on it:

You are on Optimus S firmware now, you must use Optimus S recoveries.

Re: [GUIDE] Optimus V ZVJ

Reserved for not being sure if my current guide to returning to ZV5 will work or not. If it does not, I know a way that will.

Re: [GUIDE] Optimus V ZVJ

Even the Go mms fix doesn't work for this?

In your second post you should explain how to root it. :) Or post [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] :) Also, how to switch the buttons back?

Re: [GUIDE] Optimus V ZVJ

Sammyz, ever since I bricked back in April and had to use S firmware to fix it, my V recovery buttons have been switched. It's weird because I updated to zv9 and everything works perfectly. and in the roms, the buttons are normal v buttons. What's up with that? Do I have S firmware on zv9 update?

Yes you still have S firmware on your phone....

Re: [GUIDE] Optimus V ZVJ

O.o WOAH. But I've been using V stuff this whole time. V recoveries, V roms, V tweaks. And everything works. And I didn't know it was possible to get zv9 while on S firmware???

Re: [GUIDE] Optimus V ZVJ

Clockworkmod v 4.0.1.5. Everytime I want to get into recovery, I have to do volume down, menu button, and power.

Yea, you have stuff left behind, recovery buttons won't be fixed until you use LGNPST back to ZV5, if you did do that and it still does it, you have to go to ZV5 while in e-mode.

Yes you will have data, LGNPST backs up all the NV items, which is a great thing, I do recommend everyone writing them down somewhere though, VM will never give you those AAA/HA keys, they will send you a new phone before that happens.
And yes you should be able to return to ZV5 with my guide.....it may leave traces of S firmware behind though so I may have to create a new guide in this second post. When you flash firmware with LGNPST while in E-Mode, you don't get old fw traces...like what andrew has...

What's the combo for Emergency mode? Sure, I've never used it and you don't recommend people like that not being here, but,I want to learn. :)

There are Optimus S ROMs built on ZVJ based firmware, you cannot use those ROMs on the Optimus V unless you follow my OP. Ported ROMs for keyswitch and MMS are coming.

Re: [GUIDE] Optimus V ZVJ

So after doing this, could we flash the quattrimus OS version?

Quattrimus for the OS is for the ZVD radio.

If you stay on ZVD you should still flash the OV version, if you update to ZVJ it wont work.

Re: [GUIDE] Optimus V ZVJ

I keep getting

The module "C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\Model\MTP\VM670.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80020009.

Do I just ignore that?

You need the LGNSPT generic installer.
