How can I get from V9 to VD with CM7?

[Supakitsune]

As I've said, I want to get to VD radio, but I can't figure out how.
The rooting guide for VD says that to upgrade to VD you have to be on a VC-based ThundeROM, nROM or Lego ROM, but I can't find such a version in any of their particular threads. (Not keeping older versions is a bad practice, guys...)
Also, why would I have to be on a VC-based ROM if I'm on V9?

Anyway. If anyone could help me out with this, or even maybe find a way to make the LG Software Updater do the update while running a CM7-based ROM and work from there, that'd be a great help. Thanks

The LG tool will not update with a CM7 ROM and probably never will. The VD based versions SHOULD work.

Edit: I see you're on V9. You should restore to the nandroid backup that you should have made before flashing.

I replied too quick. Someone will need to supply you with a VC or earlier non-CM7 build prop. See if you can find a VC or earlier buildprop, like somewhere in around page 40 of the Lego thread.

I no longer have my backups from that long ago (IIRC I made my first nandroid backup at the end of December, and I don't have much space to keep huge backups around).
I'll try one of the VD-based ROMs and work from there. I'll reply back tomorrow with a progress report. Thanks
EDIT: Simon, I'm already rooted and have Xionia custom recovery installed. The problem is that I can't update to VD on a CM7 ROM.
I was just mixed up on what to do in order to be able to follow the tutorial. I should be fine now.

I edited my post see again. Build prop is the key.

All hail Zefie et al...

Okay, so basically I have to take a nandroid backup, flash a VC or earlier buildprop from, say, Lego ROM v1, and then try to boot and upgrade the radio?

I did it with nrom 1.5.2fixed (compatible with v9 and vd). backup, wipe everything and flash nrom, boot, update with the LG tool, back into recovery, restore. I also wiped system and flashed a new daily while I was in recovery, which probably made no difference, but I should note.

...the problem with this approach being that I can't FIND any older versions of Lego/nROM/Thunder. The threads don't contain any back-archive of versions at all, as far as I can tell.
If you happen to have the necessary update.zip to get to nROM, and you could upload it somewhere (MediaFire?), that'd be real nice of ya.

Older versions of ThundeROM can be found here. I'm not sure about the ROMs though.

Right, using TROM 1.6.2 and working from there, I managed to get everything set and working. I'm now officially on Scott Pilgrim CM7 with VD software! Thanks, everyone!
