Are you on ChiefzReloaded's OTA ROM or just SlideMeRoot?
Do NOT update if you are on either, but we need to talk if you're getting an OTA on Chiefz's OTA ROM (will probably be Froyo Espresso)

My wife's slide just got the firmware update notification on SlideMeRoot5r1, but with Chiefz radio update. Can someone give me an idea how to check the version? Or rip it out? Yes I'm a noob with adb, but I can read instructions. How do you think I rooted this thing in the first place!?

It seems like you're both on SlideMeRoot then, download ChiefzReloaded's OTA ROM and flash it and you'll be on the latest version of Espresso

I thought it might be that but wasnt sure and just wanted to make sure it wasnt FROYO.
Thanks for the info

The latest known Espresso firmware version is 1.35.x i forget the rest. I know when the phone officially came out it was version 1.27.x

I just had this update being pushed to my phone. I removed the battery just to make sure it didn't get applied. Does anyone else know if it auto-applies?
It could very well be Froyo since T-Mobile said mid/late August.
I'm going to take the risk and let it download, then pull the zip. (Since I'm one of the couple developers left in this community... someone has to do it )

Updates don't automatically apply, even if they are completely downloaded to /cache.

UPDATE: I don't think this is anything special. I think this was somehow triggered by people running the beta (improperly labeled by Eugene as "ENG") bootloader for our phones. Version says "1.26.531.1 CL174750 release-keys" and the dates in the archive seem to support the fact that it is from MAY, 2010. Looking into it further just to make sure.
EDIT: DO NOT APPLY THIS UPDATE!
EDIT2: This looks like an attempt by T-Mobile to fix root bugs in the older versions of phones running BETA ( < 1.35.x) bootloader. DO NOT APPLY THIS UPDATE.

My wife is getting notifications on hers. She is on eugenes Rom, slidemeroot I believe. I just wantto watch this thread so I know what to do here.

Working on that. Hopefully I'll have an update to counter this "soon". By "soon" I mean: when it's ready - since I'm currently at work that may not be for a while.

I just got that update and I felt like a dare devil and applied it..it rebooted into recovery then the cellphone image apeared and a green loading bar underneath it ..it loaded about halfway then stoped. A question mark appeared were the phone icon was then rebooted..nothing happened. My phone is still rooted and non of my setting changed. Just thought I would throw that info out there.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Stuck on 4.0.1

I got a white (not sure if thats relevant) GSM Nexus that Ive been using on Orange and I cant get it to find the OTA update to 4.0.2. I know it should be on that as my original GN updated to it as soon as I started it up but this one hasnt and cant seem to find any updates when you tell it to check?
I dont really want to look at messing with the fw until I've had chance to run it in.. any ideas what Im doing wrong?
Could it be anything to do with my Carrier? If I were to try a different providers sim would it make any difference?

How do I do that? Would doing a manual flash mean rooting the device?

you can go to 4.0.4 from 4.0.1, instructions: http://andwise.net/?p=283

Data signal loss

Hi! I am new on this forum and sorry if this question was before. I am from Croatia, I have Galaxy Nexus 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and I have a problem with data signal. When I go out my data signal in some areas suddenly dissapear and I need to switch airplane mode and switch it off and data signal is back. This is happenng only when I turn Edge only, when I am on 3G/2G this is not happening. This is software problem or hardver? This is very annoying and I am thinking that I will sold this phone and buy Nexus 4 or something else if this will not be solved with software update. Do I need to go on service or that I wait update for this? Thank you very much on your answer.

I saw on Youtube how to put new radio. My current baseband version is I9250XXLH1. This is European version or North America? For putting new radio do I need to have a root on my phone? Now I am on stock official Rom with no root. Where can I download new radio?

Read the stickies, follow them. They have all the info you need. Baseband lists etc
Latest Europe baseband is LJ1.

[Q] Cyangenmod 11 Help!

Hello,
Ive attempted to install CM 11 M8 SNAPSHOT (the most recent) with a compatible GAPPS package. Im using TWRP 2.7.10 and I did a full wipe (Formatted Data, wiped Dalvik, System, and Cache, basically everything except Internal Storage). I flashed Cyanogenmod, then flashed GAPPS, rebooted and got stuck into a bootloop where the LG logo would be there for a few seconds, go away, then come back and repeat. I know how to recover my phone but I would love to get CM working. Any ideas?

Did you take the Sprint OTA update before you flashed CM? If so, you'll have to downgrade your radio from LS980ZVA/C to LS980ZV7/8. This is because the ZVA and ZVC updates patch Loki and break compatibility with other ROMs (like CM). I had this issue and tried flashing CM probably 10 times before I understood the problem.

You will lose Sprint Spark compatibility if you downgrade your radio to anything lower than ZVA. LS980ZVA introduces the Tri-Band spectrum (which Sprint nicknamed "Spark"), so if you're radio is below ZVA, you won't have Spark.

Damn, cyanogenmod or spark :/ decisions decisions.

I went with CyanogenMod as I don't use Spark often. But if you're in an area with good Spark coverage, that's definitely a hard choice.
Personally I literally don't have coverage at my house. Sprint gave us an Airave as a customer retention policy. But I would have 4G LTE at my college campus.

My data connection at home is hit or miss, the ROM I use says I have Spark but idk the difference of when Im on Spark or LTE within the ROM, also I dont think I actually have Spark in RI so that may be leaning me towards CM instead. LTE is good enough. Do I just have to contact Sprint and tell them I have spotty connection to get an Airave and is it portable (college, unlike yours, has TERRIBLE Sprint service)? If so CM is a definite choice.

You would have to be in a "No Service" or "Off-Network Roaming" area according to Sprint's Nationwide Coverage Site. Where I live is an "Off-Network Roaming" area. When we moved here we got an email from Sprint about not having coverage. If, according to the site, you have no signal at your house, you should call them and ask about it.

No, it connects to your router/modem via ethernet cable and has an antenna that sticks to a window to provide GPS and phone coverage.

The following may not be true! I believe that Sprint's Spark is LTE. But I don't know much about the differences between CDMA/GSM/3G/4G/WiMax/LTE/Spark/Edge/etc. so don't take that for granted.

Ill just give it a shot! If I lose LTE with the old radio Ill just flash a stock ROM. Probably learn a few things on the way. Thank you for your help! Final question, can you point me to a radio downgrade guide? Kinda hate fishing through forum threads.

Yeah no problem. I found that in order to get the radio to stick I had to reset the phone using the ZV8 TOT file and LG Flash Tools. If that is the case I can help with that. Otherwise check out this thread. Savoca wrote a fairly good tutorial on getting ROMs working on the G2 and what all the different radios are/do. If you follow his directions and can't get CyanogenMod working, you'll have to restore to a TOT.
Glad to help!

While I'm pretty savvy with windows, this is my first android product. I have my LG G2 LS980ZVC rooted, and I want to install Cyanogenmod 11. I have the nightly from yesterday downloaded to my PC.
As I understand, I need to downgrade my software to get rid of Spark.
1) Which version should I downgrade to?
2) Where can I find files like that?
3) Should I back up my current setup before I do?
4) The FreeGee software says it doesn't support ZVC, and so I am unable to install the backup software through there (I was trying to follow this youtube tutorial [turns out the url is prohibited before I post more!]). If I should backup, what backup software should I use instead?
Once downgraded, I need to install cyanogen mod. Can I follow that video tutorial? If not, then I'm going to end up asking a lot more questions.
That thread you linked has a whole lot of red letters saying I don't belong there unless I already understand a bunch of stuff I don't. So how do I learn those things?
Cheers!

Okay, first things first, unless you're pretty experienced with Android and CyanogenMod, flashing, etc. I would not recommend using a nightly build. Nightly builds are great for getting every possible update as soon as possible, but as an update is made (and released on the next nightly) other problems may crop up. I would recommend using cm-11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8-ls980.zip <-- That is the direct download link.
For future reference, I would suggest using versions from the Release Channel as those are considered "stable."
Now that that's out of the way, let's tackle the next issue.

Yes, you have to downgrade your software/radio. I used LS980ZV8, it's the latest Sprint release before Spark. If you'd prefer to go one step further back, you could use LS980ZV7 (the first release).

I got all the necessary files from Storage Cow. The .TOT files you need (I'll talk about those later) are in XDA > LG G2 > Stock > Sprint.

Download Flashify from the Google Play Store.
Download this recovery (TWRP)
Put the recovery on Internal Storage
Open Flashify
Select Recovery Image
Select the file you just put on there
Follow on-screen instructions.
Note: I am assuming you have rooted your LS980, if you haven't let me know.
Next!
Touche about the red letters, good point. Yes you can probably follow the video, but if you want I can help walk you through it. The main reason I linked that thread was so people could try to get an understanding about what the radios are and why it's such a PITA to flash non-AOSP ROMs. Hope this helped, feel free to PM me.

Alright, I'm downloading the LS980VC8 (2.1Gb) and the snapshot you mentioned. Since I live in the boonies, that 2 gig download will take all day.
How did you chose that snapshot? I looked at the LS980 downloads and filtered by stable, and nothing came up.

Well that's dissapointing :/ I was so excited to be able to use it still. Guess its back to stock again.

As far as I know you *have* to have the ZV8 radio. But maybe not. I trust that you backed up your efs partition? If so try restoring it, that could be the issue.

It should be in your ioroot foler. The latest version of ioroot automatically backs up your efs data (imei and modems)

I rooted with towelroot so I didnt have an ioroot folder. Besides I had already restored back by then. Can I use TWRP to back up my EFS?
EDIT: Nevermind, a better question is how do I RESTORE my EFS? Do I flash it right after Ive flashed the ROM, Kernel, and GAPPS?
