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,
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.

That did it. I have Wifi and 3G (no LTE but I can live without that) now. Thanks a lot!

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.
Hot of the TMO Cell Tower OTA 10r for D851.
D85110m_00-D85110r_00_update.zip 231MB
I'm guessing this isn't Android 5 (Not big enough).
Can one of you see what this is before I flash it on my rooted G3?
SR Remix ROM for the D851 is based on 10R so in a way we got it.
I know you can't take an OTA if one is rooted. You might lose your recovery. The other guys will know.

you can download the update but you cant install it cause you need the original files to match.......so worrying about the recovery image doesnt really matter. He wont get that far
any help rooting 10r version?
I was on rooted stock, then this update came in... Without thinking, I said install. It got as far as rebooting into TWRP and stopped. From then on, If I hit reboot, It would only go to recovery. Even if I flashed another rom.
Had to go through ADB and wipe the update folders.
So I suggest if you're rooted, dont install the OTA lol
But, I did use the above recovery safe rom, then re-rooted and re installed TWRP and was up and running again.
i need help here. here's my scenario. im using lg g3 d855 with kitkat 4.4.2. i got an OTA notification update to lollipop (v20b SEA), since im rooted i tried to flash this using the lg flash tool with the correct kdz file. i was able to update it to lollipop and everything seems fine; however since i find it pretty big(for dpi) and also not rootable yet, i tried to downgrade again to kitkat (v10k) and it went fine. i was able to root it using purpledrake l, then install twrp to revert back to my nandroid backup. so overall, everything went back to normal.
after 3 days, i decided to go thru to lollipop again
so i did the flashing of the update, but after all of this and during the initial setup, i noticed that mobile network isnt working. i tried to ignore this and just continue to finish the setup. after all is done, and im on the homescreen. i noticed that i dont have the navigation button. also when i tried to switch on the mobile network, it was grayed out. i tried all the possible method of reflashing back this lollipop updte(even redownloading a fresh copy of the kdz file), but to no avail.
question is how to flash back this lollipop update with all functions working?
any help will be much appreciated. sorry for the long story!

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.
Hi. I have an AT&T LG Gpad 7 that I downgraded to 4.4 to root using a thread from XDA and then tried out Candyrom and CM12 and CM13.
I need to return this device to stock condition.
I followed another thread contained within XDA but no matter what I do, I cannot use OTA to get back to stock lollipop.
Here is what I did:
Installed stock test KDZ using LG Flash Tool2014
Rooted via one click
Fixed partition size
Installed flashily
Installed TWRP via flashily
Installed stock 4.4 rooted rom from XDA
Flashed stock recovery from XDA
When I did this. I still have the white line distortion and OTA updates do not work. Any ideas? I wish I could just get the real KDZ for the AT&T V410 LTE 16gb!

I'd like to be able to get to Stock 5.1.1 as well. I'm at the same spot you are. Except I didn't do the stock test, I'm on 4.4 rooted.
，I also was told I could not return to a 5.1. But I just want to try or cm12 cm13. Can you give me some help?
