I ran into that same problem when changing PRLs... Try turning off the phone while it is connected to the computer, worked for me and my drivers

I know it's possible to change the PRL while the phone is off, but can you upgrade an OS while the phone is off?

I just restored a custom recovery, and restored my Nandroid of Nameless V1. Yep, you guessed it. I can now see the update again. Why I can not see it on stock, I have no clue.

cannot find the file.
this is the name of the file VM670ZV5_07.cab

I'm pretty sure I am stock. I used the guide I have linked in the reference guide. I'm worried the recovery is from the S.


Update: Same error.....I'm done for tonight.

Isn't there a button combo to put the phone in download mode or is that another android I am thinking of?

It shouldn't be. On the off chance that I mixed them up(as I had an S copy I used for something else earlier on a different V than the one I pulled everything in that guide from), I'm testing one that I know was pulled from my V.

I was on rooted stock (I've never flashed a different ROM or recovery) until a few minutes ago. I just moved all Virgin's extra APKs back to /system/app, rebooted the phone, and unrooted. When I downloaded the LG updater tool, it didn't see the phone as connected. I installed the drivers again, and it still doesn't think the phone is connected. Turned USB debugging off; still doesn't register as connected.

If anyone figures out how to get the updater tool to realize the phone is plugged in, maybe I can try out this update.

What would it take to make it a flasable zip? Does it have to be installed to the phone then pulled off the phone?

I am guessing no one has gotten the update to work. Or else we would of heard something by now from someone/somewhere. The LG program does not recognize my phone when on stock/stock recovery but it does recognize it on nameless/custom recovery. I can get the update to download that way, but it will go no farther. If anyone on stock/stock recovery can get the update installed, we would love to hear just what the update is.

I went back to stock using the following guide.

You can't flash a recovery via a flashable zip. You have to use flash_image.

Is there a sure fire way to make the phone not boot passed the bootanimation that doesn't involve a new kernel or rom?

When it gets to 25 percent on downloader and says something like please connect phone. Unplug phone plug it back in and click retry or continue. That may help.

Ok I did something risky that might work. I did a temp root using superone click. Then I manually deleted build.prop using adb shell. I then rebooted and it the phone gets stuck at the boot animation, but the correct drivers install and stick.
The phone update is hard at work now.

FYI back up your build.prop if you are going to try this.

I rebooted the phone into recovery. My computer took its sweet time installing drivers (one never finished), but the LG tool is now downloading the update. We'll see how it ends.

I can confirm that the file size is 101.49 MB.

Edit: The driver that supposedly failed to install was "LGE Android Platform USB Modem." That's probably not an actual problem--just a safeguard against USB tethering. I don't think anything went wrong until after the file downloaded (see my next post).
