Be specific. What exactly are you having trouble with? Have you read the stickies and associated guides on the subject? If you have a Windows machine, sfhub has developed a quite useful near-automated tool.

if it is of any help I think ZVJ = to MVJ, someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

Yes, zvj and mvj are the same thing.

Have you tried this thread?

Did you have the correct drivers installed?

My thoughts exactly. That's usually what "device not found" means.

Idk how you managed that...we need more info to be able to help you. Did you download and apply the zvd update.zip? As of right now it sounds like all you did was factory reset and reboot.

Also make sure you have the stock rec installed. It's the first thing mentioned on that thread. If you have xionia you'll have to run update twice (if i remember correct). that way stock recovery is installed (first run) then the radio will be flashed for service purposes (second run).

**

also make you choose the update from sdcard option in recovery, because as was already mentioned it sound as though you factory reset your lg and make sure when you place the update.zip on your sdcard that its update.zip not update.zip.zip. and make sure its not in any folders on the sdcard (root of sdcard), so if you downloaded it using your phone, move it out of the downloads folder.

Are you putting it in a folder? If so, don't. Just put it on your sd card, but NOT in any of the folders. And make sure it's just named update.zip, bc windows likes to add another .zip on the end (essentially naming it update.zip.zip instead).
