Dont Know LOL !!
If you purchase the FreeLG app in the playstore that was created by a couple of devs on here and the Att forum it will install CWM for you and works like a charm. I know none of us are here because we like paying for things but honestly the best money Ive spent for this phone and I was already unlocked when i bought it but the devs worked hard to create it and it is the simplest thing you will ever do.

No. It it's set for at&t partition configuration.
Looks like the developers will work on a TWRP touch recovery.

It would be awesome if the paid app included Touch clockwork recovery. I bought it off the market to support!

Here is the Korean firmware. We can probably kang something useful. Don't attempt to flash. It isn't made for Sprint phones and you will turn your phone into a paper weight or an iPhone.

If you flash the F180L version you can boot and use the phone. Your radios won't work though. You will still have WiFi. Any devs who feel generous might be able to port this.

Updated the title, turns out this firmware works on our phone. It boots. WiFi is a go. Just no data or phone since it is set to the wrong frequency.

That's awesome! So JB could be here soon?

I used google translate and yes that is a jellybean update. Hope starting the new year we could have jb on our phones. Too bad that it is not the new jeallybean update 4.2
I really miss it from my Galaxy Nexus, the UI is amazing. Of course with tweaks but hopefully this one gets it as well.
Sounds like it should be fairly easy to make a fully functional flashable zip then? I'll donate

A stock JB would be nice. I was used to having the 4.2
I downgraded when I bought the Optimus. I do like this one over the Galaxy Nexus though.
Got my sprint LGOG yesterday and took one picture, camera worked. I then rooted the phone and unlocked it. Today went to take a picture and the phone froze then got a screen that said DemiGod crash handler with 3 different options. Anyone else ever get this. I've tried it 3 times now and still crashing.

You ought to give Lifeless, or Imperium a shot. Obviously I've been assuming you were on stock ROM.

Yes, stock rom. Tried unlocking again, again with team win recovery. Same problem. I'll try cwm later. And your suggestions.

If you just got your phone, make sure you update it to ZV8 before unlocking.
Your not by chance using sk8erswill' kernel? His causes it also.

Got it all straighten out. Updated to ZV9 then used engine95's guide with fiddy619's steps to root ZV9, then back to freegee to unlock. Everything is running great. Absolutely love the battery life on this thing. Now to figure out how to get rid of some of the bloatware.

EDIT: This is weird for two reasons, LG released source for ZVB and I read yesterday in a Sprint internal thing that it would be ZVB. So maybe a typo? Or last minute change?

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Maybe ZVB was the soak test and ZVA is the final rollout. I thought something was weird today when LG's source code link was down.
It could be like Microsoft where no matter the real build number, it is released as zva. Think windows 7. The final build number was 7600, but the real build would've been 73xx. Or on my epic, they made builds after the official ota, but released earlier ones. No way to know why. Probably some bug.

I'm glad I have Wi-Fi in my house, I'll just bring my phone close to the Wi-Fi router and once the OTA pops up, I'll download it via Wi-Fi.
So... has anyone got this update yet or a way to pull this update from some mystical server to confirm zva or typo?

I agree this update made everything smoother and quicker. Better battery, overall a great update. Only one bug has been posted that some are experiencing and its the keyboard. I don't even have that bug.
What is Optimus Prime's full name?
Optimus G. Prime
Completely bug free here as well ... loving zvb 100% ! Not sure what to think of the dumb buggy leak comment. Maybe they flashed wrong or something? /shrug

If you made a backup of a custom stock ROM, like Optimus, Nexogen, etc., you'll be fine. Nothing to worry about.

Before. So if you go back and forth between. CM, AOKP, Stock, etc make sure you wipe everything but internal SD. And use TWRP 2.5.0.0 in my opinion.

@engine95 one last question bro...I keep hearing different things but I'll ask you O Wise LGOG Guru.. If I backed up my EFS before I flashed a custom ROM and that was the ONLY backed up EFS, I would be fine flashing that back up now since I'm on the original ROM it was backed up from.. Right?

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"
