Freegee will relock bootloader. Not sure about root. Maybe AIO?
Edit; The supersu app says it'll unroot, but not sure if it works.
Edit 2: Ok just checked...binary`s root has an unroot option. Not sure which version AIO was built with. Link here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31545627

Now I'm scared to update. LOL Na I'll wait for a Jellybean Upgrade.
Has any one tried to install the zip from LG just using recovery yet? Or is it not setup like that. They say you have to use the tool and your PC, but I assume thats for all the "regular" users that don't play mind games with their phones lol.
I would try it right now but I'm at work and need my phone tonight after work so can't risk bricking it tonight lol.

One more noob question.... How do you know if your phone is unrooted? I Flashed the previous update and cleared my cashe and wiped my data and now my device status is normal. does that mean that im not rooted anymore?
Glad you're learning some of the basics but you should definitely read before you start going to sammobile and installing leaks. You should be glad that your phone isn't bricked.

Learning is what happens when you do something that you don't have the knowledge to do. If I said I knew what I was doing before I started flashing, I would be a liar. That being said, a smart person learns from other people's mistakes. Read a lot.
It's simple. Basically, never flash anything that isn't made for the SGH-T999. And if using Odin, always use PDA.
Since you are rooted, get Terminal Emulator from the Play Store. Run it, and type: su <enter> reboot nvbackup <enter>. This will backup your IMEI data, so it can be restored should it ever become corrupted. You will only need to do this one time.
Follow these instructions, and it's pretty much impossible to hard brick.
You want to check root status? Why do you need another app from the Play Store? Just open Superuser/SuperSU. It will tell you if the binaries are present/updated. Though, the presence of a su app is generally indicative that you have root access.
I have been hitting the install later for a couple days now and my daughter picked up my phone and installed it (9 years old told not to touch phone).

i think what op wants is to not have to lgnpst back to zv7 every time he softbricks.
I'm confused... does that mean once you get back to ZV7 the phone has to be rooted, then load the rooted ZV9 version, or once to ZV7 one has to update to ZV8 then re-root then load the rooted ZV9? Where does one fine ZV8?

Ok I've now recovered my phone 3 times after trying to unlock my bootloader, I've done it with freegee and GAIO both when i reboot I just get the LG logo then a black screen and nothing.

GAIO doesn't root zv9, or zvb. For those you should be using fiddy root.

Im currently in the same situation. I used to be rooted on Lifeless but last week I had the same situation (LG screen to black screen).
Now, im only on stock rooted JB. I cant unlock bootloader because it wont let me. You should talk yo shelnut on the irc. When i talked to him last week, he said there is a way to unlock but there is a chance of brick with no coming back. I couldnt risk it, so im stuck on stock rom

After recovering I was at zv7 so that's when I used gaio, the other times I rooted with fiddly. And I haven't gotten to the point of being able to install a rom. After unlocking the bootloader it doesn't allow me to ever even go to recovery.
Does the locked imperium not need a recovery to install with?

Hey thanks for the file saved my ass after a botched recovery install. I hope someone can post this file up on another website because last night i tried to download using the slow (NONE PAY) method at http://www.filefactory.com/file/5u0ud54hxu3l/N900TUVUBMI7_N900TTMBBMI7_TMB.zip
and waited four hrs (at 3am) for the download to fail with a server error after 4.5 hrs. So i felt better to pay the website for their unlimited speed downloads. Well that was a crock of S*** because i still had to wait for over an hour to complete the download. I hope someone will post this somewhere where it can be easier to get so you don't suffer my grief.
I do want to thank deeznutz1977 for the file because without it I would still be stuck in a bootlopp at startup after installing twrp recovery that apparently has some real issues. Thanks for saving my bacon deeznutz1977.
