ZVH OTA update.zip

[scrosler]

only if you're still using stock recovery. if not, you have to flash back to v9 recovery, and root it using the old rageagainstthecage root method from the v9 days.

Have you tried to reflash custom recovery?

Eh. Yes and No. Sounds like what you are looking for is a custom rom. Just hang out for a couple of days and see what the devs are able to come up with!

No no... A couple hours you mean lol!

you have to flash stock recovery back on, then force flash the software (V9) on both accounts (hoping you have an older lcd screen)

You do *NOT* need to force flash V9.

All you need to do is install the stock V9 recovery. The update.zip does not need stock Android, only stock Recovery.

"In theory" it should work with VD recovery also, except using Gingerbreak instead of Rage. Someone needs to test it out.

Lets give him a break to get the guide up for us!
I'm sure drew will stick his head in here or there with something informative too.

You and sfhub deserve mad props for doing this!

Great job guys!

i wish i had done this using zvd recovery now, so i could have tested gingerbreak to make sure it works the same as rageagainstthecage.

btw, xionia recovery loaded. phone booting into recovery now

What is a "break"? Can you explain this foreign concept to me? Is that like this thing I hear about called "Sleep?"

lol

If I wasn't working in an hour, I'd be working on it now. :'(

You can still do that now without redoing all the steps.

Just flash the VD recovery.img from the second post in my signature and put gingerbreak on your sdcard.

Then boot into recovery, apply the same update.zip, then follow the instructions to run gingerbreak.

If you get # sign, then everything else will work.

well, fwiw, xionia recovery working fine too. time to mod away!!!

bloatware is there, sprint id, sprint zone, etc. but easy to remove since it's already rooted.

loaded zvd recovery, gonna try out gingerbreak now. this will make things a lot simpler since that has become the common root method.

Indeed!

Could you post what is not working.

Perhaps I can figure out what is breaking and give you an alternative.

Too bad we don't have something like this.

Tried it, no dice.

And I'm going to try this myself, too.

Thanks for all your hard work solodogg, sfhub, and scrosler!

I haven't had time to look dig into this yet, just quick browsed the zip file. Do you think the blobs we usually use to build from IHO could be replaced with the ones from this for better performance? Does the kernel require the new radio, or would it work with an OV radio image? Just wondering what I can use from this until such a time as LG releases source we can work from?

Well hell..I just recieved my optimus s today..an just finished rooting an cm7"ing it as well as data2ext4'ing it......ugh!!! decisions..decisions....

Wait. Lol. Seriously.

i can't seem to get the stock email.apk to work. first click immediately closes, second click goes to a black screen and does nothing. odd...

everything else appears to be working just fine!
