I haven't found a straight answer to this question. My G2 is currently on ZVC. Is it safe to flash a ZVD based rom? Or should I update phone to ZVD 1st? Is there a ZVD modem flashable yet? Didn't see one in Autoprimes modem thread.
The answer is kinda buried in different threads. But yes, you can. I stayed on zvc and run this zvd ROM. Knock Code works and everything. Just update to the newest Dorimanx kernel IMO.

I want to flash a custom rom to my LS980.
I have the new ZVC update, and have TWRP due to flashing the ZV8 Bootimg.
Is it now possible because I did this to flash Roms compatable with ZV8 and up?
I have a .tot file, but would rather not have to go thru that again..

So you meant to say I need to flash zv8 radio after I flash cyanogenmod 12 rom?
Yes
I see mention of ZV8, ZVA, ZVC, and ZVD. It has me all a little confused. Are these the modems? Or the basebands?
How can I find out which version I have? When I go to software information on my phone (running CloudyPro II 2.3), it lists a baseband of M8974A-AAAAANAZM-2.0.20046.
I'm basically trying to understand what the ZV8, ZVA, ZVC, and ZVD refer to exactly and how to tell which one I have. Also, is there any reason to have one over the other?
Thanks!
they are software versions. Each sofware version has its own baseband (referenced by the sofware version). zv7 was the first, then ZV8 (neither of these had tri-band enabled), then ZVA -TRI-BAND, then ZVC - (KIT KAT UPGRADE), AND NOW LATEST IS ZVD (KIT KAT PLUS KNOCK CODE)
The modems are not interchangeable as if you try to have kitkat but flash the zv8 modem, you will brick. Each software version you flash must match the modem (flashed in SAME recovery session, or your sol )
currently it looks like you have the ZVD baseband or ZVC
Thank you for the reply!
Am I at risk of a permanent brick if I flash the wrong combination? Or would it just be something like a boot loop, forcing me to reboot into recovery and restore a backup?
The reason I ask about all this is I've had problems flashing other ROMs. Coming from CloudyPro II 2.3, if I flash CM11 or Affliction (or some other ROMs), I seem to get boot loops, and I just have to restore a backup.
So basically, I'm just trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong or what the best practice is to jump around to different ROMs with different basebands.
Thanks again!
I had a question.... You were able to find a cloudy Rom that works on Sprint?
Does anyone know if the stock ROM is available yet to flash through odin
There is no NJ1 odin file nor will there be unless one of the developers manually makes one. At&t only released it over the air.

Have a great day! from my LG G3
First off.....I deal with Samsung devices and not very familiar with LG. Would like to get my wife's Sprint LG from ZVD to latest (assuming it is ZVG). I've spent some time reading forum posts and see plenty of "return G2 to stock" but it doesn't list what version of stock they are taking the device back too.
Assuming I have to get the bootloader and modem updated to lollipop, and use LG Flash Tool, what files do I need for this? Is there a stock 5.0.2 rom image somewhere?
Thanks.

If she is on zvd, and it is a Sprint phone on sprint network. It should automatically update. If it is not on sprint network, do not tot out go back to stock.
Use something like cloudy kit kat rom 2.2, or cm build. As you can set it up to work on the other network.(gsm)
Lollipop 5.0.2 there is no stock base on it. You would have to go to zve stock, then let it upgraded to zvg. Or sideload it.
There are too many changes to just flash a different ROM, and get to the latest.

Yes... It is a Sprint device on the Sprint network. The update has not been pushed yet and Sprint cannot help with getting it done. That is the issue. If there is no 5.0 base then there is no way to upgrade it manually then? Seems odd to me but guess it is what it is. Would think someone could pull the OTA from the device and upload so a base could be made.

Agimax made a stock based rom called ultra pop. But just going straight to it bricks. Firmware and partitions change, radio, and software.
Even going from his slimmed down version to stock messes up. I tried that going to cloudy 3.3.
You can stock to zve, and push the upgrade to zvg. There are the zvg upgrade zips sitting out here. But you can't just go to it I hear.
You also have to remember lollipop is on a different cache. The older versions were davlik and lollipop runs on art.
2 completely different things.

Hi,
Sorry if this question has been asked. I googled quite a bit but just can't find an answer.
Most ROMs posted here are modified, they are good for personal use. But now I am looking for the pure stock rom from Sprint for LS980, those can be flashed with LG tools. The best I can find is a ZVE rom. Is there any ZVG rom available?
TIA

Since no one is going to have anything good to say about you or this thread due to it being posted in the Dev section and that the G2 forums are filled with jerks, I thought I'd try to be of help.
I came across your thread while looking for almost the same thing... a stock rooted ZVH or ZVI rom to flash.
Like you, I couldn't find one.
It looks like ZVE is the last KDZ that's available for our G2 and I really only see ZVG rooted roms.
In your case, why don't you go back to ZVE and take all the OTA updates to get current and unrooted?
I did find this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g2/general/zvi-ota-update-zip-t3266332
The link in the OP has all the update.zip files, I presume unrooted and just pulled from the cache partition.
I agree with xNotta. Your best bet is to go with an older version, ota update to zvh, and do a factory reset. Or if you've got a custom recovery, flash agimax's full stock rom which is only rooted. I'm currently using his ultra variant.
