Old ROM, new screen, new troubles. - Sprint LG Optimus G

This is what I am currently on. I can't get 3g. I just got a new screen. Its been busted since last June. I'm trying to switch to a new ROM or even stock, but I can't get my phone to flash the 4.4.2 gapps package. Can someone walk me through this and maybe post links? Any help will be appreciated.
Oh.. And Xbox gave me the new twrp zip. That allows me to actually flash the ROM but not the zip. (Status 7 error)

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?

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

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.

Just use these. Your phone will upgrade to it anyway. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536636
But I think for your purpose, use LGNPST with the zvc bin. You'll find the link to the bin in the root guide.

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.

Downgrading... need 4.1.1 rom. ANYONE?

Before you go to screaming at me for not searching, know that I did. I tried. For 2 weeks now. The only link that's still active is a Hotfile link which doesn't work well for me at all because it keeps giving me an incomplete download. I tried going to Scottsroms to download it and the link is dead. I need the original AT&T - Stock Rooted I317UCALJ2 or even the 4.0.4 version. Anyone with it or a link to it PLEASE help me out. :crying: I'm currently on 4.1.2 btw if that even matters.
Direct download, Zippyshare, 4shared, dropbox, torrents, those have all worked well for me so far.
Thanks people. XDA hasn't let me down yet! :fingers-crossed:
Why would you want to downgrade? And by the way there is no 4.0.4 version

Oh... I thought not. I got mine late in the curve so i didn't know. i seen a few posts mention 4.0... whatever, unimportant. lol. I want to downgrade because after reading around and stuff, I believe that AT&T quietly patched the recently discovered free method of carrier unlocking using the hidden menus in one of the later updates. AT&T is uncooperative in giving me my unlock code as I've been with them less than 6 months and given my current circumstances I really need it unlocked so i can just go prepaid with it.
Anyway to get me back on 4.1.1? Everyone seems bent on using 4.1.2 in everything and the 4.1.1 roms have all died off like the dinosaurs they are. lol. If I'm not mistaken, I317UCALJ2 is the version I need.

Flashing my modem is definitely easier than flashing my whole rom setup again. Will try that NOW. I wonder if I'll re-lock it if I flash it to a newer modem again? We'll see. I think my relationship with AT&T has hit a wall.
Update: Okay... so apparently flashing a modem isn't as easy as I thought... or I'm just pretty noobish. I keep trying to flash it from recovery but it just keeps saying "Failed".

I tried that but it just kept saying FAILED in bright red letters. (TWRP).
I downloaded zips from that modem thread mentioned earlier, downloaded the modem, and tried to flash... unsuccessfully. They were zips... but I couldn't unzip them... (Tried after they failed me).
What gives?
Tried flashing them from another recovery (Philz to be specific), another no-go... what GIVES?
Edit: Philz is feature rich... but I prefer the GUI of TWRP... not that it matters. lol.
Maybe a bad download? Cus all you should have to do is go in recovery and flash the zip.

[ROM]ZVC Stock Rooted ROM Flashable Zip

This is a Plain Stock ODEXED Rooted ZVC ROM. It has Root and Qualcom app removed. If you need the ZVC radio, get it from HERE
Must have unlocked bootloader.
In TWRP, factory reset, then wipe /system, /cache, /dalvic, and /data. (Do not wipe internal data, /data/media - that's your SD.)
When it boots up, turn off Wifi. For some reason it always turns itself on when first booted up.
Then go to Settings>System Updates and update Profile, PRL.
Then Settings>Activate this device.
____________________________________________________________________________
New March 2 2014
New ZVC with all LG markings, kernel also. Only difference is it's rooted. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO UPDATE, unless you want to. With this, if you re-lock and then remove root, you will have a factory looking phone.
It is also zipaligned

Thanks for this! I've been having endless problems getting ANYTHING to bring my device past a bootload screen or recovery. This managed to get through successfully and load (no data, but phone calls were OK) However it would constantly reboot anytime I altered settings. This, I believe is due to whatever issue it is I am having with the phone, and not this ROM. I was just pleased to find a original stock rom and actually see an OS on my phone (however brief it may have been)
I should also mention I had to sideload this as it was the only method available in my current situation. After a reboot it hung on the LG screen for a solid 20 minutes or so before moving onto the Sprint 4GLTE and then Android itself.
This upload at least gave me hope that no other rom had yet to achieve (that my phone's emmc or internal memory is just fried?!
Either way. Thanks again for your efforts

I can, but by the time I do, it'll probably be fixed. The link is good, just the mirrors are goofy ATM. Give it some time, and in the meantime I'll upload to Devhost.

Mirror in OP.
MD5's will be different between the Androidfilehost and the DevHost. I think I just cleaned up the updater script on the Dev Host version.
Disregard the above post. Files are the same now. Had to reupload to fix issue.
Is this Deodexed or Odexed? Which ROM is more stock: ZVC_Deodexed_V2 or this? I want full stock rooted without having to hook up phone to computer.

Odexed. The short and sweet..Odexed Roms are like from the factory. Deodexed is for theming. Neither one needs to hook to your computer. Odexed Roms are harder to modify/theme. Hope that helps you decide.

I'm running ZVC_Deodexed_V2 and it seems to lag on app start up and seem slower to boot up phone.

An unmodified, deodexed, ROM will boot up slower. Not quite sure on this part, but, it has something to do with how Deodexed isn't cached like odex, so it makes it a little slower.
If you're looking for the most stock experience, odexed will run like factory.

My anal-ness made me do this. And thanks to Shabbypenguin and xboxfanj, I got what I wanted.
What is different in this version is the kernel is straight from the ROM. So this Rom will have ALL the markings of stock. Kernel included. If you install this, relock your phone and un-root, it'll look like factory.
Also added is a flashable zip for the LG Stock Kernel. All LG Markings.
When I get time, I'll update the Deodexed version.
EDIT. You DO NOT have to use this if you downloaded a prior one. Unless you want to.
EDIT2. I forgot to mention, I did zipalign this version
Another, and the main reason I made this, is that this would be like a simple version of LGNPST. IT WILL NOT REPLACE LGNPST. But it may help to fix simpler problems.
For instance:
Flash ZVC modem in OP
While still in recovery flash ROM
Voila! ZVC ALMOST like LGNPST
You the man bro!

No. You'll still have root and you'll still be unlocked. You have to be both to flash it.
This'll just return everything to a bone stock rooted/unlocked phone.

Well I learned a lesson just now on how I should really step out of original dev thread more often and check this one out. I literally just finished lgnpst -_-. But my problem isn't fixed so I'm downloading anyway. Great job, this is needed more than people may realize.

[MOD][MK3 DEODEXED] Extended Reboot Menu

Whoop here it is
Yup this is the extended menu we needed.
MK3 ROM's Only
DEODEX VERSION - TESTED AND WORKS FINE
http://goo.im/devs/ThunderStick/SPHL710/ExtendedRebootMenu_DEODEX_MK3_SPHL710.zip
ODEX VERSION - didn't work
Mine
Not sure why, seems customary
Very nice, thank you for sharing.

You're right on top of things thunder, good job.
I dont really see many people posting MOD's for ROM's instead there a million ROMs of the same thing and basically simple mods. I figure I can start by cranking out some mods if I got time.
MOD Buffet would be great instead of a ROM buffet. Makes it easier to learn what changed and how to change things in the future.
Agreed, I would like to do a lot myself. I'm glad you're jumping on it. It's definitely appreciated.
I'm having all sorts of goo.im issues (the sharing website, NOT a "personal" problem).
Are there any mirrors out there?
Awesome job on this a ThunderStick. Just tested this on my MK5 deodexed, and it works. Will let everyone following my MK5 thread to come see your work!

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
ODEX Untested version in the OP. Flash at your own risk, at worst youll have to restore your current rom so make a backup first.
I flashed this via TWRP on the rooted stock OTA MK3 ROM... and I think I bricked my phone. It won't move past the glowing Samsung screen. Have I totally screwed myself?
EDIT: I did make a full backup beforehand, so I'll try to do a restore. I'm not sure what went wrong.

Just restore in TWRP. It is very hard to brick an android device with a system only write. All this was replace your android policy jar and odex in the framework folder. You can probably just flash the Rom you had on your phone previous the flash of the mod and should be fine.

Can some others confirm the odex version is causing problems?

I just flashed it and my phone sat at the Samsung screen on reboot. I restored my backup in TWRP and all is well.
Restore didn't work.
It looks like someone has gotten an Odin version of the OTA, so I guess I'll have to go that route. I did a full backup, so hopefully I'll still be able to access some of the files I've added the last couple of days that I hadn't had a chance to backup to my computer yet.
Or, if it's truly bricked, looks like it's time for a new phone!
I just pulled the mod. Proof enough for me it doesn't work universally. I seriously doubt you hard bricked your phone. This is very hard to do using functions of recovery with out a script built to do so.

I hope you're right. I tried all afternoon to get it back up with no luck. I took it in to a Sprint store and they, too, were unsuccessful. I may try again later, but in the meantime I'm having to reactivate my old HTC EVO Shift.

Finally!
WOOO HOOO
After soft bricking my phone for over a week, i have successfully booted the Leaked KK422 ROM in this thread! (had to tear apart and modify the way it installs) I have made a flashable ROM that can use your current recovery. It just flashes ROM & Kernel. No need to change your setup other than erasing the System & Data (NOT SDCARD). Can restore back after trying it out!
So Far:
No-Wifi, Won't start up
Needs to get correct Sprint APN file
-Sure there is more....
I'm working on it! Give me some time, i gotta go to work early in morning!
Smoooooth as silk!

I'd like to get the ROM more user friendly first, just got it booted less than 1/2 hour ago, but i'd say tomorrow evening i will definitely throw something up for everyone to check out.

I didn't have much time to mess with anything, it had signal, it showed it found the Sprint network, but it showed it had "disabled" data (maybe thinks it's roaming). I wanted to get the wifi issue straightened out first (I think it just needs the modules and / or symlinks changed). I just don't have enough hours in the day anymore, so i'm just gonna go ahead and put the link to the ROM in the next few hours. I will just post it here until we can get some of the issues worked out. It's uploading to a server now.
Here is the Link: (Somebody PLEASE mirror this so the server doesn't load up)
ROM: Test_02_KR_KK442.zip
Install Notes:
(Keep your current Recovery, Backup Your Current ROM)
Wipe System & Data (not SDCard)
Flash Zip
Flash Latest SU Zip (Optional) -->Latest SU Here
Reboot, Be Patient.....
To Remove ROM, Reboot to your recovery, erase system/data and restore your backup you made...
Rom Notes:
Remember was only my second test of the ROM to just get it bootable, probably has bugs I haven't seen yet!
Data has issues, Wifi isn't turning on, some settings force close (as I said -was just getting bootable)
I didn't have time to test the download once uploaded, someone please let me know if they successfully flashed so I know it uploaded to the server successfully.

Do you think it would mess with partitions? I want to try it on my multiboot but I am not sure what it will try to do after install. I don't want to take the chance of messing anything up because I am at work with no access to lgnpst if anything goes horribly wrong.

Should be ok, it only changes the System & Boot partition. Restores your previous back easily through recovery. Just like any other Rom on here. I'm using Philz touch recovery 6.41.6 ls970.

I understand. I will attempt to install on my multiboot and report back in about 45 minutes.
---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------
I am installing right now but it flashed the lg logo and then gave black screen. I am letting it sit for a few minutes as long as it doesn't get hot I will wait for about 5.

Hopeful the upload was good, I left for work while it was doing it's thing. Hope another person can also test without running Multi-Boot and report back. I have flashed this over and over on my phone successfully (from my local copy), then later restored another rom, and flashed back several times last night without issues. If all else fails later on tonight I will send another copy to the server.

I wouldn't jump to that until you find out if someone not on multirom can run it. I know of someone else that can't run it on multi, but can regular.
It boots up and works just fine other than the mentioned issues of wifi and data, etc. And Korean-ness everywhere.
