Do we install stock LG recovery, then root ZVJ?

Stock ZVH recovery is the first step in this automated process.

Signature verification failure on update.zip

Signature verification failure on update.zip

Which step?

For step B1, the error is expected.

For step A2, it is not.

If you are seeing for step A2, then does the recovery look like Stock or Xionia recovery?

I am borked in a bootloop now. HydroROM will not load up.

Worked like a charm! Great work

If you're in the bootloop after running the first update.zip it has happened.
Pull the battery, go into recovery (Home+VolDown+Power) and factory reset.

If you are not at that step please ignore this message and do not factory reset just yet. Instead, please provide more details as to what you did in order to get to bootloop so that we can troubleshoot. Don't want you to brick your phone so we'll err on the side of caution.

Could you provide more details before moving forward?

What step were you at when you had the signature verfication failure?

When you say bootloop, could you provide more details. Are you talking about being stuck at Android logo or the phone rebooting into recovery over and over?

I have stock recovery. Wiped data. Still boot loops. Think that if I knew how to push a zvj update.zip file I could flash that and escape? I will pull my SD card and load it in my PC and put update.zip on it in 40 minutes after dinner

You won't be able to push the zvj update.zip with stock recovery.

However you can do as you suggested and copy to the /sdcard outside of the phone.

Then boot into recovery and apply update.zip.

I would actually suggest you push the ZVD update.zip from this thread:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg...67361-how-simplified-unroot-return-stock.html

and start from the beginning. Otherwise you'll be left with ZVJ and I'm not sure which recovery.

If you have stock recovery and there was a signature verification failure then the only other explanation I can think of is some corruption with the update.zip, which is unlikely but possible.

Thank you for testing.

 

[mike9670]

Fixed the the bootloop. On stock zvj now. Will re-root later

Didn't work but it installed xionia

So with the fact that this also does zvd/zvh is this in theory going to simply replace the existing automated root tool from you? I still haven't had a chance to really play with it, but it does look very nice! Good work on this.

Off the top of my head, I am not sure how it would not work but install xionia as it would have had to have been root to install xionia, in which case it would have installed the root files too.

How are you determining it didn't work?

If I can understand where it is going wrong, I can try and fix it.
