[OTA UPDATE] LG2 update ZIP file

Hi all
[LG2 update added at the end of this OP, thanks to Orbiting234]
So when I got the notification for update and rebooted, CWM would not accept the file and did not update.
After that - the phone would not "find" any new updates, no matter what I did.
Turns out, there is a file inside /cache called "fota.status" - I believe deleting that file would allow the phone to "find" the update again, but, I did not try that because... Also turns out that the update zip file was in that folder as well.
I copied the file to sdcard, booted into CWM and just flashed the file directly from there.
The file is attached here, but keep in mind that the update has a script to automatically reload the stock recovery at each boot. The epic Team Epic already has a workaround for that, so I recommend downloading their "Root from recovery" file and flash it right after the update before booting.
You will also need to flash CWM again, so prepare all of these files on your sdcard before starting the process. as long as you flash "Root from recovery" you do not need to flash CWM again, as stock recovery would only be restored at boot if you do not use the "Root from Recovery".
LATEST OTA UPDATE: (LG2) [Originally Posted by Orbiting234]
follow the exact same directions:
http://android.clients.google.com/p...0/209d73b41846.update_SPH-L710_LF9_to_LG2.zip
Unsure if there are any actual security patches here, but as reported in many different places, this update removes universal search (the ability to find items on the phone in the Google search box)

So if I am rooted, running the stock rom before the update I can flash your file in cwm, and then right after that before rebooting, flash the root file and ill be play? I'll have to flash the cwm through odin again right?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Worked like a charm! Easiest way by far to get update. I simply booted to recovery, flashed this file, flashed root from recovery file, then flashed cwm v4 flash from recovery file then rebooted.
Nice and easy. Thanks.

You can flash the cwm v4 flash through recovery file to avoid odin altogether. Just follow the steps I did in my previous post.

My guess is it means you made modifications to the system, perhaps deleted some of the "baked" in apps.
The update is verifying the system's "integrity".
Try flashing back to stock.

Does your baseband now show L710VPLF9?
I thought none of the ROMS had the Modem update... but could be wrong.

View attachment primoc_boot_unsecure.imgPlease excuse my absence. I will not be watching this thread for the time being. Hopefully if you have any questions, they can be answered by using the search option or someone else with this device that happens to check this thread will be kind enough to help.

soon enough we won't need this thread, because we will all be able to RUU lol-Dec 6, 2013
beaups said:
posted on rumrunner.us. should work for both primou and primoc. Note, it is highly recommended (mandatory?) to be on a normal sense-based ICS rom and using an unsecure (preferably stock based) kernel. If you get poor results with other configurations, don't bother asking for help please!

S-OFF is here rumrunner.us
Huge thanks to beaups
This rom is probably most compatible with rumrunner
The boot.img inside is unsecure so flash away and GO GET S-OFFED!!!
Here's the unsecure boot.img that I used to achieve s-off.

Added init.d support
Added Root Permissions with Chainfire's SuperSu
This ROM was cooked with dsixda's Android Kitchen
Thank you and credit goes out to the both of them.
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

I have posted this ROM for safetynet/fall-back purposes.
I've noticed fellas posting please help, I forgot/didn't make a backup.
This is for you. Worried and maybe even a little scared that your phone is now a beautiful paper weight.
This ROM is completely stock with added init.d support and root.
It is still odexed, and with stock kernel.( I'm still learning/attempting to build one with extra governors and over clocking abilities ).
Instructions below....

1. Unlock your Bootloader by following the instructions at htcdev
1a. If you've succesfully unlocked your Bootloader, that means you have your fastboot files on your PC and know in general how to use them.
2. Download an openrecovery of your choice. I personally use TeamWinRecoveryProject 2.2.0 without any issues at all. (See the attached File)
3. Place the recovery.img that you have chosen into your fastboot folder.
3a. Change the name of the .img to recovery.img (just easier that way when sending the flash command)
4. Now open a terminal while in the fastboot folder.
4a. On Windows- hold shift+right click the mouse then click open command terminal here.
4b. On Ubuntu- CTRL+ALT+T to open a terninal then cd fastboot.
5.fastboot flash recovery recovery.img​
5a. ^^^^^ Type this into the terminal. ^^^^^
5b. You now have a custom/openrecovery.
6. After the recovery.img is flashed, reboot your Bootloader.
6a. fastboot reboot-bootloader​
7. After booted back into bootloader, use your volume-down button to highlight Recovery.
Now press your Power button to select it.
7a. Now your are in Recovery!
8. Click Wipe, then Cashe, then Dalvick, then Factory Rest, then System.
8a. This will wipe all of your phone nice and clean for a fresh install.
9. Click Home, then Install, and find the ROM.zip, click it, then install. Let it finish installing the click Wipe Cashe/Dalvick.
10. Navigate back to the Home screen and click Reboot, then Bootloader
10a. I hope you have a copy of the ROM.zip on your PC.
11. Open the ROM.zip and copy/extract the boot.img from inside it and place it in your fastboot folder.
12. Open a terminal once again.
13.fastboot flash boot boot.img​
13a. Let it finish.
14. fastboot reboot​
15. Enjoy.
These instructions are for use with TWRP (TeamWinRecoveryProject) They may be different using CWMrecovery (ClockWorkMod).

I made a backup of my stock rom via twrp. Updated the kernel and installed shpongle. When I tried to go back to my stock via twrp it would not boot due to the kernel. I wonder if that will be the case here

u flashed shpongle? that means u are GSM not CDMA so this ROM just simply won't work
as for returning to stock, u can always flash a sense kernel duh

This is for primoc CDMA Virgin Mobile

I just downloaded and flashed to test, everything is working....Just like stock

This should allow me to update my PRL, right?

YUP!

Turns out it was a network fluke?

wont flash for me, i get:
"error executing updater binary in zip
and

What was a network fluke?

I'll cross reference the updater-script to another one I've used on a different Rom I cooked and have been running for over two weeks..... See if there are any differences between the two.

Ok I found a difference in the updater-script, the update binaries are identical so that shouldn't be the issue. Problem I have is that I don't have a working computer to fix the updater-script. It won't be until June 26th that I can apply it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
P.S. are you flashing with TWRP?

Yes sir, TWRP. and no worries, it apparently just isn't your ROM. Angry HTC and jmz's stock ROM both give the same error. even after a full format of the SD. Rhythmic Rom 1.4 works though, and is what I was running. Was trying to return the device to somewhat stock tho as im either going to sell it or let my gf use it, so I was hoping for stable and to have the charge LED and icons working, hopefully.

If you downgrade TWRP to 2.3 you should be fine.
Sent from my One V using xda premium

ah, I'm on 2.5, so I'll look into that...

did the downgrade to TWRP 2.3.0.0, still the only thing i can install is Rhythimc Rom, everything else fails to install... unless i just got some really crappy downloads, so i'm off to try to dl the roms again...

Actually, instead I swapped out recoveries for CWM. aaaand it worked.

Try reflashing 4ext recovery. Do this by downloading the 4ext as a PB99IMG.zip, and installing it like this.
Then continue to flash a rom, as said by abaaaabbbb63.

U already have 4ext recovery so dont worry bout the PB99IMG
The PB99IMG is not a zip u flash in recovery, its done in bootloader (instruction for were given to ya how to flash it plus instructions were there in the thread were u downloaded it)
Now follow the instructions given above to flash a rom. Il give u more
1) download a rom u want
2) put it on ur sdcard
3) boot into recovery
4) go to wipe/format
5) format all partitions except sdcard
6) go to install from sdcard
7) flash rom u downloded
8) reboot
9) enjoy
Ps: i hope u made an ext4 partition, if not then check andu's sig for a guide and do that first. Once thats done then follow these instructions to flash ur rom.
Edit: andu beat me to it

Thank you so much.
Just used this tool to unlock bootloader (I had my token from before so didn't use your tool to gain token) and root my phone. It was very simple indeed.
Keep up the good work.

It's designed to look like Windows 8, and was built on a computer running Windows 8, so it better support Windows 8!

Version 2.1 Now Out!
The toolkit has now been updated to Version 2.1! Lots of new features and fixed bugs, so check it out let me know what you think! :highfive:
EDIT: Aaaaand, something major came up. I may have to redesign a function, so the update may be a few more days. Sorry everyone!

Looks great, will try next time :thumbup:

Version 2.1 is back online now! I had to redesign a few functions on the Setup page, and took some of that extra time to add even more features to it as well! Hope you all enjoy it! :laugh::good::highfive:

hi! it might confuse to others. maybe you should edit the numbering in the next update. if you can see no.3 is flash kernel and rom while no.4 is gain root.

I believe the numbering is correct, as you need to flash a working ROM and Kernel before you can gain root on your phone.

yes. what i'm trying to say is for example, if a first timer follow the numbering and after he/she flashed custom recovery and want to flash a custom rom or custom kernel it wont flash because the phone is not yet rooted. well that's just me.

A bit of help please
I have used this tool kit this morning. flashed custom recovery. CWM. Done a back up. Loaded Viper ROM to SD card. Loaded ROM ok.
I am stuck on the HTC screen.
I erased cache, flashed boot img, erased cache again. wiped all data, reloaded ROM, and I am trying it again.
But in your all in one tool kit it says at the top
error; device not recongised, but it still says it has flashed the boot img and erased the cache.
Any help greatly appreciated.

You have to make sure your phone is in Fastboot mode. To do that, go to the GroupBox on the right side labeled "Reboot" and choose the "Bootloader" button. Once your phone has rebooted successfully, you should be able to correctly flash the boot.img and erase the cache.

I tried flashing the boot image by selecting 'Flash System ' then selected boot.img from my fastboot folder.
I cannot see a direct ' flash boot.img ' command in the tool kit
Thankyou for your help so far
I have come from a stock ruu, do I need to root the phone first ?

You are using the wrong command. A boot.img can also be known as a Kernel. On the Setup tab, in the bottom left, there is button named Flash Kernel. Use that with the boot.img instead.

Thanks windycity, I have got it to work and have my custom Rom. Thanks again.

This toolkit (2.1) does not appear to work on Windows XP. Any that runs on older Windows?

[Q] Cannot flash any custom ROMs

Hi Guys,
I have searched for a few days and ready through many threads on this but I simply cannot get my One X to accept a custom ROM.
Here is the info:
One X Tegra
Currently running 4.1.1 stock but rooted
Hboot is 1.36.0000
Radio is 5.1204.163R.30
Currently I have the latest CWM installed (downloaded yesterday from the CWM site) and I had TWRP before that.
I have tried no word of a lie at least 10 ROMS and they all fail with an error. CWM says "Error in *Rom.zip location* (status 7) Installation aborted"
I have redownloded and downloaded from different sites, I have cleared all the cache/data partitions many times, I have tried flashing on the device and using tools. I have tried a different USB cable and a different computer. I have flashed loads of ROMS onto countless smart phones thanks to the guys at XDA but this one has me stumped.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for replying. I had the same issue with TWRP, it started the install and then said there was an error. Good thing I had a backup I could restore as it partially flashes then fails.

Trying to get CMod11 installed. Tried on CWM and now I am on TWRP.
Just tried ADB Sideload using the WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit. Result:
"Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try anoth
E:Error executing updater binary in zip"
When I try gapps I get:
"Set_metadata_recursive: Some changes failed"

Oh I see, I don't have it installed at the moment, can you suggest a version that does support USB.otg please?

Flash philz 5.15 that i linked. Mount the sdcard inside the recovery as a usb disk in the mounts and storage menu. Wait litreraly minutes to let it pop up at the pc and copy a rom to the internal sd. Stop using usb otg

OK, I did that but got the same error. Downloaded cm11 again and had the same problem. Tried cm10 and that flashed correctly. Gets stuck on the CMOS animation though. Clearing cache etc doesn't allow it to boot. Ugh!

Try flash another rom like sense based rom.use recovery that Mr Hofs give you.
EDIT: Don't know why that recovery give error when flash cm11,it's kitkat based recovery.

Hi Guys,
Firstly sorry for the late reply, been quite busy.
Secondly thanks for all the help, I finally managed to get CM installed with a combination of the suggested recovery, a different USB cable (I think this was the killer) and several attempts in fastboot etc.
My current problem is as shown:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So battery life is pretty poor (even though i had the battery replaced with a new one!) So far I have set my location to battery saving, and manually chosen my mobile network which has improved it somewhat, but I am struggling to make one day with very little use. I know the battery is working well because I was n the phone for a while and it did not drop much.
There are no kernel or partial wakelocks that I can see, but as the screenshot shows there is quite a big discrepancy between Awake and screen on.
The only thing I can find (and please excuse my lack of understanding and ability with better battery stats) is that under Alarms, com.google.android.gms shoes as "54%"... so not sure on that one... halp?
