Just checked my backups and I noticed that all the backups have the same date (something like 01-01-1970). Anyway to fix this? I guess I'll just have to reflash them all until I find my stock image, but after that at least there has to be a fix... right?
I'm running CM10.

Known and long standing issue... Manually rename after you do a backup.

There is no way to get the proper time on your existing backups but this may help you in the future. I have not tried it yet.

so you can change the full name of backups and the md5 will match up?

Hey guys, i want to get the zv8 update since im on zv7 and the keyboard bug is annoying. I have a unlocked bootloader though. Is there a way to relock the bootloader to update? Or should I create a more recent nandroid, use lgnpst to reset it, update, then use custom restore to put just the /data back on?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
FreeGee will relock your bootloader.
If you're using CWM, it depends on how you backed it up. Changed from the default .dup and people claim it work. I know TWRP works because thats what I use.
I'm just not sure you should restore from a backup from zv7 to zv8. I think it'll mess things up.
Or you could just wait. There are some ROM's being released VERY soon. As well as the Zv9 update.
I'd wait for the zv9 flash able zip. Or a ROM based on it
Z8 doesn't fix the messaging problem. Supposedly z9 does but there isn't a root or unlocker for it yet

Well the freegee app from the play store is paid, which someone said is the only way to relock it:/ and the update notification keeps popping up while im texting and such.

I'm almost sure you can relock it using lgnspt. Hop on the irc and ask. They'll be able to help you for sure. If I was on my comp I would definitely help you

Buy the freegee app in the playstore (only a dollar), its by far the easiest way to unlock.. Make sure you're rooted first though

We always hear the bad in everything, and seldom the good. That being said, there are 100's if not 1000's of people that have rooted and unlocked successfully. But there is always that chance. That's why the disclaimers.
Here's some threads in case you get into trouble.

Yes I used freegee on two devices.. Its only a small percentage of devices that wouldn't work with the app. If by chance your device doesn't work, then you'll have to jump on irc to pick up a specially made version of freegee.. I believe autoprime has it.

I'm not the guru. I just get lucky. As for EFS... autoprime has that area.
But from what I know, and from what I've done.... you should be just fine. I've done it even on nexogen, and OpTimuS with no problems.
People are modding their phone so much to get kk to run it , that it's creating alot if problems IMHO.

If everything on your phone is as it was when you created your EFS backups, you'll have no problems.
Be just be aware that even that backup may not save our butts. As we all know these phones can be picky.

LGNPST is the only other way.
FreeGee's files should be in root of your SD under freegee. If you backed them up to your computer or cloud, just copy it back to root.
The problem was that stupid 0 folder. I moved the files from the 0 folder to the other freegee folder at the root of my storage and voila..."your efs has been restored up"
