I'm kind of new to the rom stuff. I am using the Lego Rom right now. I downloaded the ZVD Affliction Rom and followed the instructions to flash. It loads the LG screen and then the Android swirly thing but then it just sits at a blank screen.

Lego looks to have been radio zva or zv8. You need to be on zvc, or zvd before flashing this ROM.
Most likely your firmware and radio aren't up to date.
If you can restore your backup. Do so and then best option is to backup anything off phone to computer. Then tot to zvc, root, install auto-rec to get recovery and then flash affliction zvd ROM.

Hi All,
With all the threads about bricked phones, I wanted to take the safer route and outright ask for the best method to upgrade to KitKat on a rooted phone running 4.2.2 stock? I've already 'bricked" my phone once last year doing an OTA update, so I'm trying to avoid doing that again. I know this is a noob question, but I haven't been able to locate a sprint specific guide consolidating all of the information out there. Any help is appreciated.
Sprint LS980ZV7
4.2.2 stock on a rooted phone
twrp installed
IOroot25
Kernel: 3.4.0

Use this thread for the files

Or you can use this one to flash zvc tot file straight to phone.

The second post as you read will give information I thought a bit more clear on Sprint.
@#***This will wipe your phone as in complete. Nothing will be left of yours. So copy anything off internal [email protected]#***
Follow the directions, use ioroot25. Root.
If you want custom recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51857807
Use auto-rec from above thread. Thank cloudyfa for putting that together.
If you reboot after and screen shuts off and you get white lines.
You might a well tot back to zvc and just root. @Cloudyfa on that same thread is working out the details to fix.

Thank you for the reply. I'll give this a shot tonight!
I have a question: I already screwed up and applied the KitKat update to my rooted G2 without thinking. It's now stuck booting to TWRP, where I was a moron and of course didn't create a backup at any point. Is there a way for me to sideload the ROM onto my phone at this point?
Any ideas?

Even sideload may not help you, if you can access down load mode. You might get to use tot, back to stock.
But there is no stock zvc yet for ls980.

Thank you for that suggestion. I was able to use Download Mode to fix my G2 and then OTA the KitKat update. Your post saved my phone.

I must have gotten lucky...wasn't thinking and took the OTA a while ago. Lost root but phone is fine.
Now...I'm off to find it again so I can get tether working

To the OP, can I ask which method you chose and how it went? I need to do this as well and I'm in the same boat as you (rooted ZVA with custom recovery).
Thanks.

I actually read a bit more and decided to hold off on the update. I'm happy with my phone's performance, so I really don't have the time to troubleshoot should the update go awry.

I'm the same way, but I figured that I should just go ahead.
So I'll throw that out, anyone pick one of these methods have a preference? I'm on TWRP, rooted, stock ZVA. Some mods including tether and camera. Thanks.
Hi all,
mt LG Optimous Pro G E988 has been working fine for 6 months,
But over night there was a OTA update, and now my phone is "stuck"
I say stuck because it will boot with the message
"Secure Booting Error"
"Cause: Device Unlock!! So Boot Sucess!!!"
then it goes into my CWM Recovery....
I had rooted with cwm
Here is where I am having the problem. It never fully installed the OTA update, because I had a boot loader installed.
I had tried to wipe everything and do a factory update, but no use.
I also tried using LG Mobile Support Tool to reflash the factory ROM
as per: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45953380&postcount=1
Yesterday when I tried it, the LG f;lash tool said it was not able to connect to the LG Server
But today the program is saying there is not enough power and may cause a problem.
I have just charged the phone for 9 hrs straight. I don't believe that it's undercharged
Is there a way for me to flash the phone with the original ROM without connecting to LG's server (using their Support Tool)?
Please help.
Thanks
Since you already have CWM installed I hope you have a backup which you can restore. Backup your apps and settings using tools like super backup or titanium. Then reload the JB 4.1.2 kdz from pc. You can look for the steps on xda forums. Once that is done successfully you will loose root. Then try official update via OTA. Or you can try to update via pc tool. Someone already shared the kitkat kdz on xda forums. You can try that too. All the best.

Unfortunately I do not have the backup anymore.
I also tried updating via the LG Mobile Support Tool, which did not work as it gives an error about not being able to connect to the server
I tried the guide from Madmack "[GUIDE] [E980] Fix soft bricks. Flash back to stock using LGFLashTools"
But I have not been able to locate the TOT file for the international E988
I tried to use the one he provided and it did not work (yea I'm desperate to try anything now)
Anyone out there have a TOT file for the international E988?
Or is there a way to crate one from the KDZ files?
please help
thanks
Not sure why you need a tot file. Kdz is fine. Look in xda for guides on loading the kdz file. That is a sure way of unbricking your phone. If it is still bricking after kdz load go jnto stock recovery and clear all caches and reboot. Most guides i have used mention this as an optional step.

Same thing happened to me with the value update. You have no choice but to reflash stock with the lg flash tool. I flashed mine with the telcel flashware but got brave enough before the kitkat update to flash back to att with .tot file .You should be fine once you reflash stock

I have a Sprint LG G2 with ZV7, rooted, TWRP. What I would like to do is go to the latest update (ZVC?) without losing my current data, and being rooted/TWRP as well.
So should I update to latest via OTA and then root? Or is there a different route that I should go?

Follow the first post OP to the T and you will be fine.

This will get you to zvc with what is necessary.
Backup your data with titanium backup.
This way you can recover.
If you take ota, you will brick.

That thread only talks about going to ZVC from ZVA
If you want to be 100% safe. Tot to zvc then root with ioroot25 and use auto-rec to get recovery.

Yeah, I got everything working now. I did a backup and just installed the new ROM , modem, and firmware.

Install auto-rec from Cloudyfa

Then make sure after that anything you want to save is off your phone.
Tot back to stock, root, auto-rec, flash ROM.

My wife's G2 rooted, never updated. What do I need to do to use custom rom based on ZVD? Will I lose sdcard data? Also I installed twrp and backed-up. possible I just need radio/modem updated? I seen aboot needs to be downgraded.
Best bet is to tot to zvc and use ioroot25 or higher to root, then use auto-rec to get recovery.
Then flash custom ROM, based on the system. Any aosp/cm are zv8 radio.

You may be able to flash radio and be okay.
Seeing as you already have recovery and such.
