well i think i'll wait till someone manage to root zvi .. XD
just received the ZVI update this morning. On one hand, I guess I should be pleased that LG cares just enough to keep updating this old device with security improvements and updates. After Toting back to ZVE and updating to ZVH, my GPS seems to be working finally. Was flaky to non functional since I got it(refurb from Freedompop) on ZVG.
However, it;s a pain in the butt to restore the firmware back to ZVE and lose root.
Please let us know if you figure out how to get root back on ZVI and thanks again
Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the OTA update nag message or prevent the download of the update.zip file? Is there an APK I can freeze using Titanium Backup? Most annoying thing about the OTA update is that it doesn;t seem to care if you are on wifi or mobile data when it downloads/redownloads(which it will do infinitely).
It seems that ZVI non-rootable for now Shame! Security fix from 01-11-2015, so they fix holes in system = no-root. Back to ZVH, or cm13...

you root zvi?
Sorry to hear all of you weren't able to achieve root with the new update using the older method. I'm glad I stopped by here to do some reading before I updated. I was going to TOT back this weekend and take ZVI. Root is a must since I use the hotspot mod so ZVI is gonna hate to wait.
Hopefully someone will figure out a way around the newest security patch soon.
Need a little help disabling the ZVI OTA notification. I've tried several older methods but none have worked. I've selected the install later option but as you all know, the notification persists in the drop down menu. If possible, I would like to do away with it entirely until a method of rooting ZVI is created. Any info on disabling the notification would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Biker

Got the update an hour ago. Im on zvc stock rooted so ill have to wait for the awesome devs to post it here.

And I'm assuming there's no wifi calling since it's not even mentioned?
Anyone captured the OTA update?
Has anyone released the ZVD radio yet?
I'm just waiting for someone to take the OTA and do a ROOTED BACKUP, and then put it on XDA....!

I'd be happy to. My device shows the update is downloaded and waiting for install.
Point me in the right direction and I'll post it up.
you can just download it and dont reboot, should be in the cache folder in root.
The software update, which brings it up to Sprint’s version ZVD, also includes a new icon for HD Voice (something that’s being added to other devices as well), a patch for Google, and an updated email signature. Owners will also see improvements for group messaging.

From my phone, without using a PC, how do I get it from that folder to Dropbox or another file sharing Avenue?
use a root explorer to copy it to an sdcard then use dropbox app to upload it there.
I accepted the zvd update about an hour ago and lost root.
ioroot25 works with the zvd update.
I like how there is no WiFi calling.... especially with the crappy network and occasional issues with the Airave, you would think they would enable it for the G2 already, but no.:crying:

You can prevent updates (and presumably notifications of downloaded updates) without root. See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3148650
All righty. Here it is. It's 5.0.2 and it contains the Stagefright fix as well as who knows what else. Standard warning: you probably have to be bone stock ZVG to apply this. If you are rooted, this will probably break root, if it would even install at all. I could also be completely wrong. Have fun.
Download ZVH update.zip
Updates don't install on top of root. If rooted, reflash ZVE tot, upgrade, then redo LG One Click Root.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
I tried restoring my stock recovery with Autorec and using the unroot feature in SuperUser but was still unable to flash the update.
I WAS able to get the ZVH update.You can root the ZVH update, use the LS980 Autorec app to flash TWRP and flash the hotspot mod too. I tot'ed back to ZVE and let my Sprint G2 activated on Boost go through the update process. Once i was on ZVH i did the above mentioned. It took a little time and some reading but my G2 is up and running like a champ.
I have root and can't update ZVH using TWRP. Can sameone explane step by step how would be possible ?
@wetbiker7
I've upgraded to ZVH, but I can't seem to root it. I've tried a couple of the LG_Root options and LG_One_Cick_Root_by_avicohh.exe but none are working.
Any ideas?

Not sure what's going on with your GPS. I haven't had any issues.
OK. I'm working on something that'll get you guys hooked up. It'll be posted soon.
OK........ This is for the Sprint/Boost LS980. This info will allow you to root the ZVH firmware update. I have used this method on both Windows 7 and 10.
READ EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU BEGIN!!! I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE. THESE ARE THE STEPS I USED AND THEY WORKED PERFECTLY FOR ME.
You will need ADB installed on your pc. Here's an easy way to install if you don't already have ADB and Fastboot installed.

_____________________________________________________
Maker sure you have a decent charge on your phone. I recommend 75% or more just to be safe. The entire process should not take near that but I always make sure I have enough juice in case I run into any issues.
This is only if you are rooted or your LS980 will not install the ZVH update OTA.
You will need to TOT back to an earlier build. I chose ZVE.
This thread tells you how to do it. Make sure you scroll down to the 2nd tutorial. It's the one for Sprint.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
Thanks to @hyelton
Just follow the instructions and it will take you back to the ZVE firmware. Once you've reverted back to ZVE, let your phone update. It will take you through 2 firmware updates, ZVG and then ZVH.
NOTE 1: I downloaded the DLL file found in the Sprint folder. I had to use it instead of the Megalock DLL. Megalock gave me an error. The DLL in the Sprint folder worked perfectly so make sure you use it in place of Megalock when following the instructions.
NOTE 2: Once your phone is in Download Mode and you plug it into your pc there is a VERY good chance that it will start updating the drivers. LET IT!! It may take awhile so just be patient. Once it has completed, you can begin the process of flashing the older firmware.
NOTE 3: The tutorial states "99% of the time FlashTool will FAIL after 85% anything after 85% is just your phone rebooting so your safe". Personally, mine completed without getting stuck.
NOTE4: If you have trouble with Data, do a PRL update and a PROFILE update.
_________________________________________________________
OK....... once you've taken all the OTA updates and you are on the ZVH firmware you can begin the rooting process.
I have uploaded a zip with a tutorial on rooting the LS980. Make sure you unzip the entire zip file and open the README 1st!
I looked at several methods before rooting my device and cannot remember the original author of the tutorial included in the rooting process and files. I take no credit for this tutorial. If I could remember the author I would most definitely give him the credit deserved.
LG Root-
http://www.mediafire.com/download/or13cg94acgsx1a/LG_Root.zip
LS980 AutoRec apk-
This will flash TWRP on your device. It will also make a backup of your stock recovery. Just extract, place the apk on your device and install. .
http://www.mediafire.com/download/cb029lt87l7za6a/LS980AutoRec+apk.zip
One last thing......... I also have the HotSpotMod working on my LS980. The ZVG zip in the thread will work for ZVH also. I had trouble with the mod alone so I tried using the WiFi Tether Router app found on Google Play after flashing the mod. I was able to get the hotspot working with the app. If you decide to flash the HotSpotMod, try it 1st. It may work for you. If not, use the app mentioned above and it'll work.
HotSpotMod-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584775
Thanks to @Ascertion
EDIT: ADDED THE LS980 AUTOREC apk. You'll need it to flash TWRP.
One more thing. As far as I know, none of the custom ROMs have the ZVH patch for stagefright. If you flash one of those builds, as I understand it, you will lose the stagefright patch. Just wanted to make sure that info is known.

@wetbiker7, This is the same method I've used several time to get root on zvh. It hasn't worked yet.
For some reason when I run the last "sh" command, the cmd window gives me no feedback and just sits there.
I've left it running for 30 mins before pulling my phone and restarting it.
I'm using the correct "diag" port so I don't understand what the problem is.
Any ideas as to what's going on?

Are you running Windows 8 by chance? A buddy of mine couldn't get it to work on 8. Even if your not running Windows 8, try it on another computer.

Did you enable USB debugging in the developer section on your phone settings?
Did your pc update drivers when you had put the phone in download mode and connect it to the pc? It should have.
Are you running Windows 8 by chance? A buddy of mine couldn't root his on 8. I've tried it on both 7 and 10.
Also, I had to unplug my phone and plug it into the pc again to get the pc to recognize it.
About ZVI update
Here http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=ls980 i've finded ZVI zip. But I've think this is the only source code?! Does anybody receive ZVI OTA update?
its odd everything seems to work until I reach the Send_Command.exe \\.\COM4 part
my COM is COM41 so I did COM41 instead idk if that breaks the process but basically when I run the SH command it just hangs Download Mode seems to be where most of my recent Rooting Attempts fail any ideas what would cause it to hang on running the lg_root.sh?
(update) oddly had to type ENTER rerun the send command then rerun the script now im rooted it looks like IDK why but thats an odd turn of events maybe this will help someone else ^_^
I'm already running ZVH and just got another firmware update notification today. Has to be another security update since it's only 231mbs. What sux is I'll have to TOT back again if I decide to take it.

I'm going to stick with ZVH. It's got the stagefright fix plus it can be rooted and has the hotspot mod. ZVI can't be rooted yet plus the changes made by the ZVI update, according to the info I've read, aren't worth losing root over.
Also, I may play around with CyanogenMod a little more. 12.1 runs great and progress is being made on 13.

Probably 600mb of updated NFL bloatware included and the rest just the security update.

Ran into an issue with this update. It failed to install on 11/3 with a error code 409, but when I try to download it again by selecting "Check for new system updates" it says I have the latest update. I've rebooted a number of times and it shows up every time. From what little information I can find online, I have to reset my phone to factory then attempt to update again. I want to avoid this so here I am.

I'm not rooted.
Update: I decided to just to a factory reset. Thankfully it worked and I am at the latest firmware.
So I've tried letting this update run a couple times. Downloading for the third time as I write this. When it tries to install, it just reboots into TWRP recovery and does nothing. Then I restart the phone and basically start the process all over again. Any guidance on how to get this squared away?? I met one of the members here with a card who S-offed, unlocked, rooted, my phone which I'm thankful for. Just want to be stock rooted is all. Don't really do much with custom roms on this phone. Thanks.

Root works like any other recent version. Just look in the threads for the method you want. If it worked at least for four versions ago, it should still work now.

You don't need to use kingroot. Just flash TWRP via download mode and flash SuperSU.
This is really great! What security update does it have? It would be really great to have a deodexed version. I tried on the previous
version, but failed. Does anyone have good pointers on deodexing?
