You cannot install the update without Odining back to complete stock, no root.

I know that, but can I just download that rom in the link above, put it on my memory card and install from clockwork or do I need to do something else first?
Thanks.

I used this video to update to GB, and I was rooted. I didn't reset to stock or anything and my phone is working great now.
Give this a try?

For what? Did you semi-brick it?
If not, and you're still looking for how to get GB, here.

There's a few videos for rooted and non-rooted phones.
I did not brick it, but that will take it back to stock I assume?
My bad haha. I thought about this in the shower and went "Ah ****!".
But yes, that will bring it back to stock.

Yes that will take you to full stock and you can get the OTA. It is not just a semi-brick thread. It is a start over thread too.

I migrated from the GS3, and MrRobinson would make a Odin flashable pre rooted totally stock ROM. By going this root it wouldn't trip the flash counter. I didn't know if either the odexed/deodexed files in the link are the same.
And yessir, in Boynton Beach. SFla FTW!
I'm confused as well.
How might we take your rooted stock image and install it without tripping the flash counter?

See the update lk8 update Zip thread. Another member who I can't remember at the moment figured it out. The fix is to odin ljc using a tar or the stock restore exe. Then redo the lk8 update.zip and the chameleon error goes away.

I have it don't fix it. It's some left over code if you flashed an LK8 rom and went back to an LJC. I have run throught every format option in TWRP and used Odin to flash a factory stock image. No one seems to know where it's coming from!

Just my 2 cents, my experience with this error.
I'm getting the Chameleon FC, and the persistent HandsFree Activation on every reboot. All started when I lost wifi on the LK8 update zip (I was rooted, thanks to Voodoo OTA rootkeep), and tried to get back to LJC...
I'll quote myself from another post (written in a slight daze late last night:

And this morning, I tried the following:
Installed TWRP with GooManage, restored a BU from my orig rooting using the toolkit, no luck, same two errors.
So then I OneClicked the Full Restore (SPH-L900_LJC_Stock_Restore.exe), and wtf, still there.
As I mentioned in my quote, it (the Note2) works, not broken, but I find the persistent error worrisome.
I am open to criticism, suggestions, whatever. What am I missing?
I feel exactly how you do. The phone works but the errors are bothering me.

I suppose that it's worth noting that I get no errors whatsoever on flashing, OneClicks, or Odins. Although, on stock recovery (I think?) I seem to remember seeing the Android on its back w/ a red triangle?

Sprint is apparently replacing these for this error. If you go into the store and have them look at it. I've been told that Sprint is replacing these devices as there is no fix until the OTA is released. That's just what I heard.
I would definitely be back to stock before paying then a visit.

Do you have the download link for the ALJ1? I'm gonna try that to see if it work.
I went back to lj1 and let it update to ljc. Errors stuck around. Only way I've avoid the errors is by leaving phone with lk8 which lucky for me works perfectly.
I did try the store replacement thing but they wanted to give me a refurbished phone as replacement. I am going to wait for an update and cross fingers it works without error.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough. The stock rooted ZVC is what I'm already running (flashed from CWM with an unlocked bootloader). There's a bug where you try to charge when the phone is completely turned off, the screen turns on draining battery and preventing you from charging at full speed. I understand this could be fixed by a) flashing an AOSP-based ROM or b) if you want to use stock rooted, stick with the original bootloader/recovery. So, I'm trying to figure out if I can just flash boot.img and recovery.img on top of the stock rooted ZVC, and get the charging to work properly.
I found what I thought I needed in shelnutt's files-- he has the Sprint backup img's. But when I dd'd them over, my phone won't boot now. So I will probably have to LGNPST the whole zvc bin and start over. Oh well.

You can root your phone, but you can't flash ANY ROM unless you unlock the booloader/recovery.
If restoring FreeGee unlock didn't work for you then you need to use LGNPST to get stock recovery back. It should also fix your charging issue.

Flashed the whole ZVC bin with LGNPST, rerooted and got what I wanted. I didn't lose data or have to start from scratch like I was afraid of, and it's easy enough to unlock with freegee if I ever want to flash roms again in the future. Thanks for your help/encouragement.

Maybe just a bad gapps download? Are you using Bank's gapps? Also, the picture you posted said Android 4.2.2, gapps 4.4.2 won't work with that. But if you have the updated twrp and are flashing a 4.4.2 rom, my best guess is 4.4.2 gapps was just a bad download.....

Ha ha yeah, that's no good. I think core is 25mb and standard(which you will probably want for most 4.4.2 roms) is 75-80mb. That's probably your issue. Until you get everything installed and working, I would make a backup of your current system even if 3g is borked so you still have something to revert back to. So once you download gapps, from twrp's main menu I would do the following. Go into backup and backup everything. Once that is finished go back to the twrp main screen and select wipe. Then select advanced and wipe everything except internal storage. So data, system, cache and dalvik all need wiped. Maybe even do it twice to make sure. Then install the rom, and then gapps, then reboot. As long as the downloads are good, you should be good to go! And always make sure you have the appropriate gapps version for the rom 4.4.1 rom needs 4.4.1 gapps, etc. And if you do go back to flashing stock, that shouldn't need gapps, only AOSP/CM based roms will. Good luck!
I appreciate it. I've been swapping back and forth with my backup. Finally got vanir installed but 3g still won't work. Can you send me a link to a stock jb ROM? I was told by Xbox I may need to update the prl and profile.

Yep, what he said and xbox is right. Once you get stock up and running make sure you make a backup for that and keep it safe - so you can update prl/profile for data or sometimes roms won't be able to get a gps lock. Again, you will have to flash back to stock and get a lock, then flash the rom and that usually fixes it. Backups make things so much easier. Go nandroid! And you are welcome, always glad to help over here in the lgog forums!

It totally is, wtf?
Here is the link to the zvc deodexed rom thread here.
Or the classic odexed stock zvc here.
Both links are working, just clicked em, lol. Odexed is stock, deodexed, read the thread but it allows you to theme the stock. I'd probably go with the second link because you are switching to another rom anyway.
You rock. Thanks for your help. Also should I do a backup of my current setup or do I need to reflash this ROM after getting 3g to work?

Dam XDA app is being weird again. Sorry
GO with the stock odexed. It's the closest to stock so less chance for errors.

If you used LGNPST and a stock zvc bin file you would, but the link is for a zvc odexed rooted rom. Basically stock zvc already rooted. As for keeping the backup, I would make a backup of the zvc rom(once you update and make sure everything works), and get rid of the other one after you backup that one. Then just flash your new rom and gapps, if you have any issues, you can go right back to a working stock and try again or something else.

No prob, Im having issues with my new linux mint 16 install, mdm failed and I couldnt boot so I was back and forth. Could only startx and cinnamon was running without hardware virtualization - SO slow on a dual core 1.7ghz vaio. But I disabled mdm login and all is back to normal. Thanks to you for picking up my slack earlier buddy.
EDIT: By the way @engine95, will he have any issue flashing that zvc rom from the updated twrp? I've never tried it and I think xbox gave him chad's twrp-geespr recovery(just guessing though).
I used LGNPST (sp?) when we first got jb to root. I haven't used this phone since July first. We didn't have zvc back then. I'm just wondering if I flash it will I lose root? I don't have a comp at the moment. Mother board crapped out.
Also the second link is dead. There's no download and the description says dead link. Lol

XDA is killing me today. Here is the direct link from androidfilehost. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760972777
Edit here's dev host. http://d-h.st/qV2
Edit 2. It is already rooted, so just flash and go.
You should have no problems installing with any TWRP. Not sure about CWM

Damn you are right again, I just made sure the link loaded to where it was supposed to go.....and ofcourse I don't think I have that on my hard drive, Im looking tho, if I do I will upload it....but engine is the one that uploaded it originally so maybe he has it or knows what's up..
EDIT: He beat me to it, but I'm downloading and saving it myself just in case. 846mb - I forget how big stock is!
Lol yeah stock is huge. So much unneeded bloat. Thank you guys for sticking with me and helping also having a sense of humor as well.

And no, you shouldn't lose root with this, it's already rooted. The stock zvc bin with LGNPST sets your phone back to factory including losing root. This should be zvc with root.

Anytime man, as Ive said multiple times, plenty of people, including engine, helped me when I first got this phone(and they continue to do so). Let us know how it goes!
I used to know a lot about phones but when I started going to school i dropped my guide status at android forums and stopped coming around all together. Now I got this phone fixed I wanted to make sure it completely works.

Yeah Ive been into computers for over 20 years but some of this phone stuff is still new to me. And the lgog is very different from my old evo4g, but I'm learning. I still need to get a new pc so I can start building roms myself. Well glad to have you here man, the ls970 is a great phone and has a great community behind it.
