LS670ZVJ Update Coming 4/4

so then what does the zvj source code do i have it
:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

Think of it as a bunch of legos. You use the legos to create the design you purchased by following the directions. But a smart person can change out or tweak the little pieces to get a different or more efficient end result. The source code is all the little bits of code for every little process kinda "laid out on the table" to be assembled by a dev.

Part of the catch is that LG only released a partial source, so we cant just take it and cook up our update.zip we need.
 
Since I'm rooted and running a ZVD-based custom ROM, I have no interest in ZVJ. I'm not sure why others are so interested in getting ZVJ. Gingerbread provided almost no benefit over Froyo. I'd bet that any of the ZVD or ZVH custom Gingerbread ROMs are way better than the ZVJ stock. And I don't think it'll be too long before the ICS-based custom ROMS will be working well on ZVD & ZVH. (Based on my test-drive of Kraven's current ICS alphpa port, ICS is a HUGE step beyond Gingerbread.) If I had a stock ROM I'd refuse the ZVJ update until somebody could guarantee me that ZVJ could be rooted and downgraded to ZVD or ZVH (or that an ICS ROM had been ported to ZVJ).

For anybody who wants to refuse the new update and the nagging reminders, following is the method that many of us used several months ago to refuse the ZVD & ZVH updates. I guess this method still works.

1. When you get the update notice, go into the "More Info" page of the update.

2. Pull the battery (I think immediately, while the phone is trying to get to the page).

Pulling the battery after clicking "More Info" on the update notice prevented any future nagging notices to update.

One possible downside of doing this is that if you ever do want to do an over-the-air (OTA) update, I don't know how to invoke an update. I'm sure there's a way, but I don't know how. I actually tried to do an OTA update (from ZVC to ZVD so that I could root and flash from there) using the built-in menu options, but it said there was no new firmware available. I ended up having to manually install the ZVD ROM.
 
Well, new baseband always means new rom favors lol ! I would love to see a unified baseband that actually works that you could flash stock gingerbread, cm7, cm9, miui ect. Plus there is the simple fact that for many of us, simply having a reason to tinker with our phones again is like Christmas!
 
why cant someone have tinkered with the update.zip for zvh and have it work again i think its possible cause as someone mentioned before not a whole lots changed except the kernel and a couple other things
 
Still not avail from either phone or update tool. will check again tomorrow.

Edit: Still nothing, tried fw update to see if that would trigger. No dice.

I've got everything ready to post it if I could just get it :rolleyes: I'm keeping an eye on my husband's Opti S too.
 
If I had active service I'd be checking constantly as well... instead, I have to wait for one of you fantastic people to post the update.zip... thanks in advance to whomever gets it going!
 
I have to admit it seems very odd that it has taken this long to get it. But heck, we havent had ANY members talk about receiving it yet (and successfully install it). To me, this doesnt bode well . . . . . .
