I do know this. I actually accidentally deleted the stock ROM while in recovery. Instead of going back through the opti-sfx.exe, I downloaded the ZVJ update.zip. Flashed xionia recovery, factory reset, apply update. Zip and install jcase_rootme.zip.
Got my stock rooted GB back without the computer. Yay

Well, just like thewraith420, I get better signal and everything seems to run faster.

I just don't see the point, unless your bricked.

The devs here already have a ton of ROMs for us to play with. Pretty much all the cm7 roms run perfect.

Unless there are benefits besides being able to run a few more ROMs?

Actually I still run the same ov roms, but I get better signal/service with the newer radio firmware

Well I don't want to say It'll help everyone because I'm sure it's a ymmv situation but myself and AndrewNelson both experienced noticeably better signal strength on LS670ZVJ

What's the difference between this and changing the PRL?
Which is easier?
Will everything still work on MiRaGe (MMS, 3G, SMS)?

Changing the prl is much easier and everything should work as long as it's a sprint prl.

Changing firmware isn't easy but is better. The ZVJ radio/firmware update is true sprint.
The VM670(2.2.1/2.2.2 froyo) is a subversion of the LS670.
Take for example, when you update the ov (zv9) you still are running froyo. Updating the LS670 to ZVJ gets you to gingerbread and the updated sprint radio. All this at stock value.

Okay, a few more questions.
Can I run ZVJ on a custom V ROM (particularly MiRaGe)?
If I get to ZVJ, would I have to change the PRL, too?

All ov roms will still work with zvj but you have to use the zvd-zvj patch. So one extra file to flash after gapps

Just knowing that I would be at a stock gingerbread was enough to sell me in trying this. It's just like I bought a new phone.

Just to be sure if your going to try I suggest you save a qcn file from qpst and a nvs file as per this guide. Between the two you basically have your all your radio settings backed up.

Just to make this easier to find. This is how I restore data and Andrew has had success with it too.

Tapatalk'n it from my VM670 running Kool-Blue_2.3.3_V2.3 on LS670ZVJ Baseband

this is what i do after writeing the .nvs file to zvd to get data back

To Restore Data on LS670 Firmware:

1: Install anycut.apk
2: Run anycut and "create shortcut"-"Activity"-"LG HIDDEN DATA" and hit ok
3: Return to desktop and open the shortcut
4: go into CDG2 Data Settings and change PPP CARRIER from Sprint to Undetermined
5: Hit back and the phone will reboot
6: Open Qpst service programing and hit Load from file
7: Select the .qcn file you saved durring prep
8: Select write to phone and enter your spc
9: The phone will reboot
10: Open LGNPST and Select "Phone Setting" Enter your Spc hit ok then Read
11: Close lgnpst and open DFS and enter your Spc and click SPC
12: Click the Programing Tab then the Mobile IP TAB and click Read
13: On the first Profile Uncheck the boxes next to Enter value in HEX for both AAA Shared Secret and HA Shared Secret
14: Clear anything there and click write current profile settings
15: go to profile 3 and Uncheck the Enter Value in HEX box for AAA Shared Secret and Copy the value
16: Go To profile 2 and Paste that value into AAA Shared Secret box and Enter Vmug33k for HA shared Secret
17: Hit Write current profile settings and switch to the data tab next to mobile ip and hit read
18: under HDR AN and HDR AN Long you'll see YOURMEID@mdata.vmobl.com with PWD boxes under them
19: Paste your AAA Key that you copied earlier into both pwd boxes and hit write

Reboot Phone and you will have Data



This is a big help, anyone trying, I suggest use this to help get your data. This is thewraith420 method. I'm just copying and pasting for anyone who goes to the last reply.
I used this and it is a life(data) saver.
Again, this is not my work. Copied from an earlier post from thewraith420.

When school is over, I will be a flashaholic, testing more stuff, porting more ROMs...etc. My optimus V is forever stuck on optimus u firmware. My optimus S running v firmware has reboot problems....but it seems to reboot less the longer you use a Rom (and not change it).
