LS980 ZVD Update Thread

Figured someone should start a thread now that its out. I had this update waiting for me this morning when I woke up. Had to replace some modified system files and then took the update. Lost root of course.
Points of note on ZVD:
Do not accept an OTA update with custom recovery or rom installed. If you have modified system files the stock files must be put back. Failure to consider this will lead you to problems you dont need. You can always .tot your device if necessary before taking the OTA, or wait (and be patient) for Devs to develop their roms to support zvd.
It does not include wifi calling.
ART Runtime is now available as an option in the Developer Menu.
It enables Knock Code.
You can reroot with ioroot 25 after update.
There were other fixes listed on Android central including:
A Google Patch
Improvements for group messaging
HD Voice Icon
Updated Email Signature
http://m.androidcentral.com/sprint-lg-g2-update-brings-knocking
I also noticed that Auto Brightness is not switching brightness up and down randomly all over the place and stays pretty well fixed but low intensity even at 100% with auto brightness enabled. Also of note is my battery draining really fast today after I updated and several restarts. Android system seemed to be running away over 28% battery usage but it seems to have settled down. Im gonna recalibrate my battery just be sure anyways. I always do after updates.
ZVD thread. Have at it!

any chance were you able to capture the file and might be able to upload it?

If I did I would have posted it but I believe some of the Devs already have the files. Dont quote me on that but I thought I had read someone grabbed it already.

ah okay sorry. but yea hopfully if one of them has it they post it soon. lol. thanks for the update on zvd tho. i went back to stock trying to see if i can get it. no luck tho

So are you able to get root again after the update?

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the original build.prob from ZVC? I changed some things up and its messing up my update.

Just out of curiosity, how do you recalibrate your battery??

I read this along time ago so hopefully Im retelling it correct. Here's what I do:
Let the phone batt run down and phone shut off completely.
Plug it in and leave the phone off till it charges to 100%.
Turn it on use phone as normal thru the day. Try not to power cycle the phone at all.
Let the batt run down again and phone shut off.
Again plug it in while off and charge to 100%.
Turn on phone with it still plugged in and when the LG screen comes up unplug it.
Your batt is now calibrated.

My G2 is stuck!
I took the ZVD update about 10 minutes ago and once the phone rebooted im suck in TWRP...what am I doing wrong??

your suppose to be fully stock to take the update. in you have a nandbackup use it now. btw i rooted using ioroot manually and installed the twrp recovery using autorec. also for some reason knock on doesnt work for me anymore. worked before zvd

Post Chainfire Root Issues 5.1.1

I attempted to root my phone using the Chainfire Auto-root method today and somehow managed to use the 925p edge MD5 file instead of 920p. This caused a few issues, the X-axis was inverted, no service, and a continual automatic reboot after about 30-60 seconds of the phone being on. In an attempt to fix it, I have tried a few things. in many combinations. I have reflashed the stock tar file, cleared cache, factory reset, and flashed the PIT file found in post 12 of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/help/operating-smg920p-t3263325/page3. Unfortunately all attempts have been for fruitless. Obviously the first issue to be tackled is the constant rebooting. Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe flashing unikernel will help, it can be found here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087012055
Just flash it in Odin, if that does not work you may want to try bringing it to where you bought it for warranty.

No luck, unfortunately.

The firmware posted above is OJ7, which seems to be an earlier version than the OL1 firmware. I have no idea why OJ7 would work for you when OL1 wouldn't. (Unless you got a bad download of OL1, which is why I recommend checking MD5.)
If you are still on OJ7, can you try system update and see if that takes you to OL1?

will get that logcat
Saafir said:
Note the time and grab a logcat.
Ok i left the phone at home but i did look at the log cat about the first ten lines all had emmc in them im not quite sure. Well I cant read it lol. when i get home il flash twrp and restore a back up let reboot a few times get a log cat and post it will twrps log cat work? If im lucky i might get a app installed to do it. I no longer got adb and fastboot on my computer but will download if needed.
im waiting for a replacement to get to the sprint store. i flashed stock and took it in rebooting sprint guy tried factory resetting it and clearing cache which got it stuck in the pre load starting or optimizing apps before itd finish it it would reboot and if i kept going id beable get to start up settings thats it. now i can flash twrp still it does restores my back ups and after that itl boot the system i can uninstall or install something or what not maybe 1 min after im able to get into it it reboot. only wifi connects though.
Again i had about all roms we got on sprint forum on that phone worked awesome loved it til the time i restored the efs on 6.0.1 with a twrp thats a unofficial build modded to work on 920p.

Sounds good thanks man.

Seems as maybe a somewhat common issue unfortunately thats happening for s6 as well as sprint note 5 as there are a few threads regarding the same issue. Theres a thread for s6 on this issue and on 2nd page appears as if someone found a fix having something to do with letting it die completely etc.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/help/constant-rebooting-t3287213

I figured my rebooting issue was corrupted data becausr i was transferring from phone to pc to phone and no md5 check. Though now i will use it. Good luck

Downgrading Note 4 (SM-910A) to Lollipop(5.1.1)

Ever since I got Marshmallow update on September 26, 2016. My device is not functioning properly. While I'm on phone it randomly restarts, while it's charging it freezes up and restarts, restarts while it's in my pocket. Also sometimes my phone just freezes and if I press power/home button. My phone would not wake up, so I have to remove my battery and put it back in (I do this like 10 times in a day). I already talked to Samsung they said they can't help and also talked to AT&T and they told me to just buy a new device. Basically I want to roll back to Lollipop, because it was working perfectly fine on Lollipop, so if anyone could provide me a link for an official 5.1.1 with August security patch stock at&t ROM it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

same here
I experienced the exact same conditions. Mine would go into reboot hell where it would not complete a reboot and just reboot itself until the battery went dead. I performed a low level factory reset and it returned to some level of functionality. I would like to roll mine back too.

Cannot be done.
Anti-downgrade lock. You have a 6.0 bootloader, cannot flash a 5.x.x one.
Can't do much in your case, except for maybe a factory reset.

What's your baseband?

Hi, I'm also having the same issue. My level of android is just a user, Ive never rooted. I'm getting desperate, I love my note 4 but I had to revert to using my galaxy s4. I factory reset multiple times. My baseband is N910AUCU2EPK1. The last update that was sent out started to crash my phone.

Help!

Load EPH5 by odin and then update, after factory reset you should be back in game.

Update from PI3 to official Nougat.

I've seen some posts about updates to official Nougat failing, so I decided to upload the update.zip to get to Nougat. I'd like to note that I didn't update using the update.zip method, so let me know if anyone runs into any issues. Hopefully this helps you guys out.
1) Make sure you are on official NON-ROOTED PI3. Also, make sure you enable any disabled packages.
2) Create a folder on your SD card named fota.
3) Download this zip and rename it to update.zip, then put it in the fota folder you created.
4) Turn off the phone and boot into recovery-volume up+home+power at the same time.
5) Wait a minute for the dead android to go away and recovery finally boots, then select update from SD card. Select the update.zip.
Here is the Odin files for PI3 for those that need it. G930VVRU4API3

Testing now

Still not working. Didn't get the log though, but there was a mounting error and then I believe I saw something status 7. Not sure what else is wrong.

It is not

The best advice I have is to Odin all four PI3 files, but not Home_CSC. It will give you the cleanest install and take everything else out of the equation. I'd backup everything with Smart Switch first, then restore it all after updating.

Probably not, but you are welcome to try. If it doesn't work, then flash back to PI3 and update from there.

Also if you use package disabler pro like most of us. Ensure you go back into there and enable all bloatware you can re-disable after the update goes through

I already put this in the steps, but I guarantee a lot of people will forget to follow it lol.

I got mine updated. Here's what I did.
I reluctantly used the Verizon software repair tool to "repair" the OS. It took quite a while but did reload everything. After that I just took the OTA and it seemed to work fine. I would imagine that Odin would have worked too.

I'm on a VZ Galaxy S7, PI3 firmware on Boom Mobile (VZ MVNO). Tried OTA update, Samsung Smart Switch and Verizon Software Upgrade. All 3 are showing that my firmware is up-to-date on version 6.0.1 PI3. Have they just not rolled it out to everyone?
Is my only option to use the procedure on here?

Updated using the process from OP, worked fine.

I was on PI3 firmware and I kept checking without getting the new software from yesterday. Just now I connect my phone to the PC and open up Smart Switch, it tells me the new update is available.

I was having this same problem. I couldn't get my phone to take the OTA even after unrooting and I had to end up using Odin and flashing that BL file as well as the other three that you normally flash. give that a go if you're still having problems!

Upgraded directly from PKC (beta) using SamFirm to download and flash new verizon firmware via odin. Worked great. Didn't have to downgrade back to pe1.

full Odin package *N920AUCS4CQA1* help you up to Nougat quickly

Can not wait for the official Nougat version! Here are the latest model which I can get for you.
Not much to say，here's link for QA1, every person can flash that with Odin and then OTA to Nougat by @norbarb 's way.
Simply speaking, upgrade is divided into two steps. First flash my QA1. Then usd adb update to QC5.

Working great for me as DD. Battery life is better than 6.x, but I'd expect that it'd be a little better anyway after a full wipe & fresh install.

I was on the PK1 yesterday, then I ODIN'd to PL1 (using Norbarb's instuctions and wiped my device in the process).
I then realized that since the device was already wiped, I simply ADB directly to QC5 (as it was already 1.5GB in size and should already contain the previous updates).
Battery life is now horrible, although I'm still trying to get used to the new features by turning off / disabling what I don't need. The update is worth it. as the theme makes me "feel" as though I got a new device. The touchwiz additions replace quite a number of third party apps that I'd have downloaded separately otherwise.

As you probably did, I'm using a non-rooted AT&T Galaxy Note 5 (N920A}. I'm familiar enough with ODIN to know that I'll probably mess it up the first try... And spend a lot of time figuring out my mistakes.
Did you have any difficulty with the update process?

Did you have any difficulty with the update process?

The only problem I encountered was the need to perform the large address aware fix to adb so it would sideload the S4CQB2-to-U4EQC5.zip file for me, otherwise it went fine. Just takes time. I went step by step after first backing all my stuff up. I was on an older MM release that had not been patched with any of the last 3 or 4 security patches, so I began with a complete wipe and ODIN of CPK1. Then sideloaded the rest, one at a time and switching USB debug on each time before the next update: CPK1-to-PL1, then PL1-to-CQA1, then CQA1-to-CQB2, then the final S4CQB2-to-U4EQC5. About 90 minutes maybe, a little less? I can't recall, but wasn't a big deal. It took Google longer to load my 180 apps back on at the end LOL. All the tips (like the large address fix) are in the other thread - just read it over before starting. I see we have a new update too to version QC6.... I may flash that or wait another week or two to see if more updates come out. Honestly it is running just great and I have no issues. Snappy. HTH

I will post in Nougat update thread new update to 4CQB2 to 4EQC6 firmware. Please let me know there if you want 4CQA1 to 4EQC6 update also.

I just got QC5 sideloaded last night. I stayed up restoring my apps and data as close as I had it before on my PK1. This was a time-consuming process.

You can't now just drop the QC6 on me like that so I have to go through that process all over again.
Hence I'll say "No, thank you" :highfive:

Please help, yesterday i try slideload with ADB from U2AOI6 to U2APB2 , i don't know how i did it, but now i have bootloop and messages " dm-verity verification failed "... " update from ADB is disabled " in downloading mode ... Is there any issue to do not loose my data. ..? If not, is the link of S4CQA1 provide here sufficient to make a full flash with odin ?

ADB sideload always wipes after it completes
There is an app named Flashify which does not wipe after applying updates but that only works on rooted phones (and you cant root the AT&T Note 5)
Therefore no, there is (currently) no way to prevent sideload wipe

Thank you very much Dezborders!
Now it will be my first time to use Odin, pleaz can you give me the link of the more stable marshmallow for you on N920A... ?
