Here is the easiest thing. Update TWRP, backup. Download zv8 radio, ROM for ls980, gapps(some prefer pa gapps minimal).
Wipe, flash ROM, flash radio, flash gapps.
Reboot and wait.
Reason for new TWRP. Backs up radio. You can go back to your previous without concern for radio.
Is this confirmed working? I've been having the same issue, but I flash the radio, then rom and gapps, and TWRP loses my backups, have to flash the .tot again.
Ok, I tried this out and it works perfectly Follow the exact method in the second post. If you installed TWRP with AutoRec you will be on JB bootloader, make sure you use the ZV8 radio, which is the JB radio. For GSM unlock just dial *#*#4636#*#* and select GSM Only. Good day all.

Just download the latest TWRP zip and flash it while in your current version of TWRP, then reboot.

I currently have Stock 4.2.2 Rom - S-Off - Rooted - TWRP
How can I get to the newest Stock 4.3 (Radios, etc) ?
Is it easier to just flash stock recovery, then take the update, then flash TWRP and superuser back?
Or has someone made the update into a root-friendly flash-able zip yet?
Thanks in advance if this is a dumb question, but I wanted to ask so I get it right the first time.

Thanks for the info...
So I can just flash these with no loss of data? Or do will I need to restore data after I flash the rom?
My plan would be:
1) flash "Odexed Full ROM"
2) flash "2.10.605.1 firmware"
That should put me latest update stock right? (I might need to re-flash superuser)
I can flash all of this through TWRP?

You cannot flash the firmware in twrp.
It has to be done following the instructions in the post.
I would do firmware and then the rom.
Put the rom on your internal storage before flashing the rom.
Flash the firmware as instructed, then in recovery flash the rom, reboot.
Do not try to reboot in between, it wont work.
If you do it in that order you won't have to wipe, you will be on the latest OTA and have a rooted boot.img.
Supersu is installed already. You can prevent it from updating or flash the newest one here.
Read the OP and post#2 and follow it you should be fine.
Yes you want odex coming from full stock...
Thank you for all of the help santod040 !!
Your files and instructions worked perfectly.
I'll make sure to check in on your threads when the 4.4 update comes around.
Hi,
My LS970 works fine with the stock ROM (4.0.4) but as soon as I install a custom ROM with Kitkat neither 3G, 4G or Wifi work. I have tried CM11, JellyBam and SlimBeans but all show the same behavior. Does anybody have this working or an idea what could be wrong?
Cheers!

If your on Stock 4.0.4 that should be ZV9 and that radio won't work for JB and any CM Rom's. You need to upgrade your radio.
There are a few options:
Let your phone upgrade to ZVC. It should be trying to do that already.
Or, if you are rooted and unlocked already and have TWRP, then you can flash the radio/modem. I would also recommend using a Stock based Rom to start.
The flashable radio/modems are here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40169203
The Stock Rom I would use is here. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291680187
So in recovery, flash the radio, then the ROM. It might not hurt to flash the radio a second time before you reboot.

I couldn't go back to stock and use the OTA because I have been told that using the OTA stock update will brick the phone if the bootloader is unlocked. So I have downloaded the file LS970ZVC-M9615A-CEFWMAZM-3.0.10646 from your link and flashed it.
WIFI works now. Thanks! But I still don't have 3G or LTE. Any ideas what else could be missing?
Thanks again! I was already ready to throw out the phone and get a Nexus 5.

Try flashing a stock rom, the one linked above. Then go to Settings>System Updates and update profile and prl. You can also go to Settings>Activate this device after those 2. This is the only way we can update those. CM/AOSP can't do that. That should get you going.

Sometimes I have to dirty flash "flash rom zip again over top of original flash" without wiping dalvik or anything to get signals to pick up and I'm current on Zvc , prl , ect. Never hurts anything and always seems to work if the traditional way doesn't, if you see this problem again might try.
Hi I need help. I recently got this phone.
Rooted it with stump root, and flashed TWRP 2.8.4 using flashify.
I tried to flash a custom rom, but the wiping data part had an error. Stupidly enough, I proceeded to flash the rom zip and it got stuck flashing so I had to power it off. Now my phone is stuck on the boot logo. The only thing I can do with it is turn it off, or enter download mode. But I can't enter recovery mode. I read somewhere that it is possible to go back to stock recovery using the flashtool. Problem is I don't know which firmware I have. The only information I had about the firmware was that it was ls980vze because that's what I saw when I was flashing something. How do I deal with this? :crying:
p/s if there's a way that I can access twrp, maybe that' would work because I made a nandroid backup before. Don't know if that's useful though.

Okay, quick and easy.
There is a zve tot, though before we do much. Custom ROM as in which one?
Anything CM based is radio zv8, if it is a cloudyfa ROM; you can be zva to zve radio.
So depending on which can save trouble.
Root, depends on which version you are. Zv8 - go with ioroot25. Zve - use stump root.
Next thing, forget flashify. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Tried and true method, Auto-rec. Only after root.
Upgrade TWRP through TWRP by gator's zip of bumped and such. Or use TWRP app.
Again if your zv8, flash your CM based ROM of choice.
Zva-zve, flash your stock based like cloudyfa's Roms and such.

I tried to flash Validus ROM so i'm guessing that's zv8? I am rooted btw. Wait so you can upgrade twrp by flashing another twrp file? When I used flashify, after flashing the 2.8.4 bumped twrp it rebooted to my current twrp 2.7.0 and flashed it so I thought it was just the same. I'm pretty sure I am zve. Can I flash a zv8 rom if I have a zve rom? How do I get out from the bootloop?

Basically you're stuck using the ZVE tot to bring it back to factory. Be sure to boot it at least once as the phone will have to re-activate itself.
Try the zv8 modem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451426
And if not, then try you and always check the op carefully before flashing.
I want to try out Grola rom but i really dont want to go through the process of having to .tot just to go from that rom to another. Is there a way to flash another rom without having to .tot back to factory.? I have the ls980 variant

Read the directions very carefully. If it is aosp or cm variant. You need to flash the zv8 radio after the ROM.
Primary thing, make a backup first. If you have newest TWRP, it will backup radio. So when you recover you can have no issues.
If it is stock based no problem. You only have to tot if you really needed something up or going back to zvd or zve radio.
Ok so i just boot into recovery, flash correct radio and flash the new rom i want. Unless its a zvd or zve stock based rom then i would have to .tot right.?
Right now I'm on resurrection remix. Which is cm based. So I have already downgraded boot loader by getting TWRP installed. I flashed zv8 radio for the ROM. If I wanted to go back to stock based because I didn't backup my radio. I would tot.
This way my radio is back to what it needs to be.
Or if I screw something up on flashing I can tot.
Newbie to rooting.
I'm gonna be exact with what I have.
Stock 4.4.2 (Lollipop available but I don't wanna get stuck in TWRP with an OTA)
TWRP Installed
Rooted G3.
NO, I REPEAT NO CUSTOM ROMS OR FRAMEWORKS.
I'm afraid T Mobile will force me the Lollipop update someday, and if it does, I will always boot into TWRP because TWRP doesn't work with OTA updates.
So... Here is what I want to do... In the easiest way possible.
I want to get TWRP off my phone, unroot my phone, so I can install Official 5.0
OR.... Is there a flashable OFFICIAL Lollipop G3 Zip I can flash using TWRP?
Please be patient with me, I may very well have future questions on this thread. Thanks a lot guys.

Follow the instructions in this thread to flash the update in TWRP. It's what I did and I dirty flashed without doing a factory reset in birh my wife's and my phone and everything works fine.

Download the kdz and do a clean flash. After that do a factory reset then root and install twrp. You can block lg updates with titanium backup
