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.

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..

Yes

Download the ZVA radio and then flash cm in recovery.

I cant because i need zv7 or zv8 for cyanogenmod.
I have an LS980 with stock ZVE that's rooted with TWRP recovery installed.
Knock on isn't working, so I'm trying to find a way to flash a different ROM (currently, SuperG2).
When I flash SuperG2, I get stuck at the LG screen, and the LED cycles through different colors. The ROM never boots, but I can go back to recovery to restore my ZVE backup.
So I guess my question is how can I move from my stock ZVE ROM to, say, a ZVC or ZVD? Do I need to do anything besides flashing the zip and wiping the system, data, and cache through recovery?
Thanks!
Tot is the only way

I also lost knock on with ZVE and got it back by flashing dorimanx kernel, you might try it I've been happy with it.
When/ if Sprint does a Lollipop update I plan to roll back to stock using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476.

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.

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

And if not, then try you and always check the op carefully before flashing.
