[How-to] Guide to Rooting with software version LS670ZVC

[sfhub]

I reverted back to v8 stock and used lg updater to go to VC. tried the process again and still nothing. Any ideas?

Did you restore the V9 Recovery image (steps 26-30 of the How to unroot thread)?

 

[sfhub]

noob here. accepted the OTA update while rooted with z4root. i believe i have everything set up and installed in the right places, but everytime i try to complete step h in the v9 recovery tut, i get the message "the system cannot find the file specified". run checksum and get
; SlavaSoft Optimizing Checksum Utility - fsum 2.52.00337 <www.slavasoft.com>
;
; Generated on 02/11/11 at 17:23:24

DO NOT get the long string of numbers under the generated line
Where did i screw up?

step (h) has 4 commands. Could you provide the output of each command?

 

[sfhub]

I will try again.

I performed the steps again and still giving the same error. I am really frustrated. Can someone help?

Which steps did you perform?

 

[cmyasika1]

I force flashed v8 and went by the guide. Still not working even with using LG Updater.

Did not update OTA. Restored V9 Recovery image and used the LG updater. What files do we need in update.zip?

There are no instructions that suggest you force flash V8. Which instructions are you following?

Be specific, as in link to the instructions, and say what steps you did.

Also say what you want to accomplish.

The reason the rename command "ren" failed is you do not have the cab file from Zefie's archive downloaded correctly.

After performing step (f) you should have had a file named

LS670ZV9_20.S9_20.P60671.cab

Instead, you have a file named

LS670ZV9_20.S9_20.P60671.wdb

This is a leftover temporary file from the flash process. It isn't a file that you downloaded from Zefie's archive.

I suggest you perform this step from a command prompt:

c:
cd \KP500-Utils-EN-v0.4.2
del LS670*.*

Then restart from step (f)

For step (f), right click on the link to the cab file and select "Save Target As...", then in the folder dialog, navigate to C:\KP500-Utils-EN-v0.4.2 and click "Save"

I force flashed v8 and went by the guide. Still not working even with using LG Updater.

Did not update OTA. Restored V9 Recovery image and used the LG updater. What files do we need in update.zip?

I don't understand, if you never did the OTA VC update, why were you reverting to V9?

 

[blegler]

ok. downloaded new set of .cab files, and have extracted them to the kp500 folder. no .cab files show up in the kp500 folder, only a .dll and a .wdh and a windows .wdb file. am i getting the full download?

Don't extract the cab file. Just save the cab file as is.

 

[blegler]

ok. re-downloading directly to kp500 folder

GOT IT! lg updater is running. should be good, but i may (probably) be back. thanks again!

because I cannot get adb after ./rageagainstthecage

I've only seen that happening if you accepted the OTA VC update, however you say you haven't accepted the OTA VC update.

The reason I'm asking is it makes a difference what steps you took to get where you are and your symptoms don't match the path you are describing.

What do you currently have installed V9 or VC?

 

[blegler]

i'm back. sorry. recovery to v9 successful. trying to unroot, and get stuck at $ su says permission denied. any help?
can i just force flash the VC while still rooted?
