So I've been reading about how more kernels are supporting ZVA/ZVC radios and I've been using AOSP ROMs so I've been patiently waiting to update from ZV8.
Going back to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627765
, myself, among others, have used the radio for ZVA in that thread to try to work with an AOSP ROM with a kernel that supports it. However, from first hand experience and from reading what others are saying, it results in a constant fastboot.
This brings me to my question; is the only way to update from ZV8 to ZVA by .tot to stock? Or to flash that radio, can you also do it with a completely stock ROM?
I've searched and read several threads and it all seems very unclear. With the amount of people who did the same thing I did, I think this is necessary to be clearer.

I've flashed back and forth from ZVC to ZV8 by using recovery flashable zips without any issues if that's what you're asking. My apologies if I misunderstood

With a stock ROM (bloated or debloated) or AOSP?

It is also for people that flashed ZVB from ZV9 with a stock rooted ROM, and did not take the radio update in the processes. You should be able to use this on ZV9 too.

Flashing it won't hurt anything, it will just put newest radio.

I haven't tested it in CWM. All I have tested it in was TWRP. It may or may not work.
unfortunately it does not change the chameleon service.

Hello,
I rooted vz9 with one click root. Then used freegee to unlock and install twrp. I could use WiFi fine up until that point. Now no matter what ROM I flash (carbon, CM, PAC) I cannot connect to any WiFi. When I put in the password and hit connect it says saved but never even seems like its trying to actually connect. Anyone else experience this?
Thanks
Did you try another kernel?

You're using ZV9? That radio shouldn't even be working with anything JB. Use the ZVB/ZVC radio.

OK I guess that was an underlying question. So I can flash a vzb/vzc radio even if I'm using a custom ROM like Carbon?
Thanks for the help.

I'm not sure. You shouldn't even be able to run any of the current Roms with ZV9 radio.
But if you have been, then there shouldn't be any problem. Flash the ZVC radio from the teeny bin or the OpTimuS threads. If there an issue, you might have to do a factory rest. And it probably wouldn't hurt to flash a stock ZVC ROM. Use the one titled ZVC stock rooted. I think that's what I called it.

if you are using an rom other than stock you need to flash the ZVC Radio this is flashable.

So I just moved from the Evo Lte and all I want to do is get aosp running on the G2. I am on the kitkat ota update and have rooted using ioroot and have twrp installed with AutoRec. I tried flashing paranoid android and it just sent me into a bootloop... anything I'm missing?

Redid the whole process and instead of AOSP flashed a different zva rom from the dev section, now I get security error on boot and still bootlooping

All fixed thanks to the guys on irc. I successfully flashed aosp after I downgraded my modem. I didn't find the system to be too stable so I just reverted by tot to ZVC with root and recovery. Now I'm just trying to get a custom kernel working, what can I do for that?
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
Hello everyone, I need a little help.
Now I am not new to the rooting ordeal. I have been rooting ever since my old EVO 4G (yes, with those dreaded boot loaders.) My personal phone is running Paranoid Android RC2 (Optimus G) so I know about the standard wiping process for ROMs.
I have successfully rooted my friends G2 (Sprint) and I had TWRP on it, but the TWRP failed to make backups, so now I have Philz Touch (the custom CWM) on it and it backups fine.
My problem is when I try to flash a custom AOSP ROM, the phone only boots to the LG logo. My friend really wants Cyanogenmod on his phone but it refuses to boot. I have searched for an answer but have no idea. This is the first time I have been truly stumped. Other times after some work I figured it out but this one I do not get. Here are all the details:
Sprint LG G2 (LS980)
Kitkat Modem/Update (stock 4.4.2)
Stock ZVC
Rooted by the Autorec.apk. Root works just fine.
Philz touch recovery.
I have even found an AOSP modem you can flash in recovery, but that was no dice. Even messed up the backup on Philz and it wouldn't get past sprint screen until I flashed KK modem.
I have tried many different nightlys/Msnapshots and Mahdi ROM and it won't boot.
Is there something I am missing?
Thanks again for any help guys!
You have to be on ZV8 modem not sure if that's what you meant by aosp modem.

Glad I'm not the only one with this issue, I gave up on trying to install cyanogenmod after numerous failures, luckily there's a ROM out there based on cyanogenmod that will work with all Variants of the LG G2, I think your friend will enjoy this ROM.[emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

I moved on to houstonns aospa build...couple things were broken in CM11. NFC is broke on aospa for the ls980 but I rarely use it. Battery isn't as good as stock I don't think but its hard to tell because I just moved to a new area and have no WiFi and the LTE is spotty.
also...no need for an old radio with aospa. I'm using the KK radio with this
Even with crappy signal I'm still managing about 5 hours SOT.
