THIS METHOD FOR USERS WITH ROOT ONLY
There is now a TWRP supported for the LS980 which can be found here.
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/197
click the sprint link and download the most current version
Here is the direct link to Sprint TWRP model from TWRP website
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/g2spr
If you have ZVA firmware installed, please read this thread posted below before proceeding!!!!! You must flash zv7-aboot.img before flashing TWRP recovery since the zva-aboot.img does not allow you to run TWRP recovery. See thread below on the changes in the ZVA firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627765
Using terminal emulator to flash zv7-aboot.img on your phone
Code:
dd if=/path/to/your/zv7-aboot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
Using adb to flash zv7-aboot.img to your phone.
Code:
1. Download the zv7-aboot.img file and place the zv7-aboot.img in the ioroot folder location.
2. Hold shift and right click in a blank area of the ioroot folder on your PC and select "open command window here"
3. Type adb push zv7-aboot.img /sdcard/
4. Type adb shell
(If you do not see a # type su and hit enter so that you see the #)
5. Type dd if=/sdcard/zv7-aboot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
Once done with that place the .img or zip file onto your phone.
Once done with that go to the market and install this app on your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
Then open the app and select recovery image
then browse to where the file is stored ( more than likely its sdcard . . .)
Then hit yep this is correct (if it is)
Done!
This method is for TWRP 2.6.3.2 not for the updated version of TWRP i recommend installing 2.6.3.2 and the using that recovery to install the newest one:
To to that place the openrecovery-twrp2.6.3.3.g2spr.zip on your internal sd
then load up recovery
press the install button
then look for the openrecovery-twrp2.6.3.3.g2spr.zip
swipe to install
ps: to boot into recovery manually press and hold volume down and then power and hold it down both buttons together and it will boot to TWRP
make sure to thank @leroybrute for the flashify idea
ADDITIONALLY when you have done this the very first thing that you NEED to do is go into TWRP and make a nandroid backup of your stock ROM. I have seen so many people lately not doing this and having major problems. This is very important!!!!
Latest official version of TWRP: 2.6.3.3
Please do NOT download and install any other unofficial versions of TWRP since help will be very limited.
As always, I DO NOT TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY for what happens to your phone. Please research and ask questions if you are not sure what you are doing.
Here are the adb and fastboot files you need. Extract this zip file into a folder and put your TWRP recovery image in this folder and follow the tutorial video.
WACOMalt's TWRP flashing method located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2449670
You will need to download the loki tools which are explained in the tutorial video.
You need to download the Sprint TWRP file here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/g2spr
WACOMalt also posted a tutorial video on how to flash recovery using his method shown here:

What's the chance 4ext releases a compatible version?

I have not currently at the time of this posting flashed any recovery to my device (dont have adb set up on this pc) though there are a few guides for how to do it which can be found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670
You will notice in that post that sprint is not referenced thats because it wasnt available at the time that WACOMalt wrote that post.
Again i didnt develop this method nor have i tested it yet but if you have please post and let others know what you did or what worked for you.

Flashify loaded this in to time successfully for me.
If you use the link posted in the op twrp files are already lokied so you don't need the tools.
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/197
That is why once rooted you can simply use flashify from the market.
Boom all done!
As I mentioned in other threads.

I haven't tried the Flashify app but that looks like the correct app but I'll let jfenton57 answer that question.
Why are my posts in the last couple recovery threads being ignored? Been trying to show people a simpler way. In one thread I get knocked trying to help make installing twrp simpler and ignored in this one.

No you had the right guy, and I don't want credit. It is also the right app. This stems from your thread in general thread asking about recovery. I gave the answer in the second post with no credit. Instead got bashed in a sense and ignored.
I have had the Vs980 since release and since I got the Ls980 I thought I could help with what I have learned from there.
I also have wireless tether working on my Ls980.
But I think I will back out of the Sprint development.
Sorry about the whining.

Today is a hectic day since the Sprint subforum just created and I was just referencing existing threads that other variants have used for rooting and flashing recovery. I didn't even know about the Flashify app so thanks for giving us the heads up. None of us meant to ignore you but please don't take it personally. I didn't follow the Verizon thread too much and obviously I didn't even know about. Any lessons learned or easier methods to do stuff that you are aware of please continue to contribute to the Sprint development.
Since you mentioned it? Do you mind sharing how you got wireless tether to work on the LS980? I can create a new thread for wireless tether and will give credit to you and whoever else contributed to the wireless tether mod for the Sprint version.
Thanks to all that contributed ive got root and recovery

I easily rooted my Nexus 7 easily with the Wugfresh nexus root toolkit and the image file from google. Simple no issues what so ever. However I could not get the root to stick. It installed twrp fine but not the su zip. Does anyone know of a su.zip that will work with L?

This is not a development thread. Go to the super su thread on XDA and flash the zip in recovery. Then promptly hold your head high and report your own thread to moderators so it can be moved into Q&A section.

Hi,
I am not able to boot in new recovery even after flashing it with mobile uncle mtk tools.
Pressing the volume keys and power key simultaneously just opens a black page with some text written on it which i think is not the recovery i flashed.
I am using mobile uncle mtk tools for flashing recovery. When i try to boot in recovery with 'reboot in recovery' option of mtk tools that too doesn't do anything (Micromax logo displays then blinks and android home screen is displayed).
Please help.?

No, it won't. The TWRP v2.7.0.1 and 2.7.0.2, I think in the "original" development section are the only versions of TWRP currently compatible with our vk810.

Oops, no OS now :/
Hi, so I followed the intructions thusly:
- Install TWRP
- nandroid backup
- Wipe dalvik/cache/system
- Flash CWM from this thread
Of course at that point I've wiped System and have no OS. Is that the intended workflow here? If so, how can I use CWM to restore my backup? I have the backup I made with TWRP, but can't figure out how to restore it using CWM, or if that's even possible. All of the restore options in CWM come back saying no files are found, and I see no way to browse for backups to restore. I'm not sure if maybe the right partitions just weren't mounted or what.
After dicking around for a bit I ended up flashing TWRP again, and rebooting back to TWRP recovery, where I was able to restore my backup.
Sorry if this is more of a CWM question, but this version seems quite a bit different than I'm used to. I haven't used CWM for a while (since my Droid X) since I got pigeonholed into SafeStrap/TWRP with my Verizon GS4.
Thanks for any insight,
== Matt
As you found out, you can't restore a TWRP backup in CWM. If you hadn't wiped everything and had backed up using CWM, then you'd be able to restore that, of course. No reason to wipe it in the first place, though, if all you want is to just restore it again.

Alright, I'm just a bit rusty. That's kind of what I thought, but I was just following orders. So basically I can follow your directions and just wipe dalvik/cache without wiping system then, right?
Edit: errr, I mean N00b-un-2's directions*

So just a quick question.... During my rooting steps, I never did backup my stock system...I back up everything after I rooted..as there anyway to go back and start over? Or do I have to wait until a RUU comes out?<br/>

No way to start over. RUU or someone else's stock backup is the only option if you ever want to OTA.
Cool! Thanks!!
So...is it worth asking, does anyone with a un-touch stock backup they could upload for sprint???
