In Big red letters....
Do not attempt to downgrade ZVC or brick will occur...
And there is no fix until a ZVC kdz or tot is released...



HERE is what is downgradeable
1. ZVC cannot be downgraded....
2. ZVB can be downgraded to ZV8 no lower..... Or hard brick will occur.
3. ZV7 or lower is unknown by me If anyone else knows let me know and I will change this.....



So please for your own goods do not attempt this. for any reason be it gsm unlock or trying to root . It is all out the door for now no methods available.


And so everyone knows there is no hard brick fix available for the sprint or verizon lg g5s at this time......

So a nice new shiny paper weight.....

Hi, thank you for the warning.

Updated to ZVC, lost GMS too.

I kinda bought my G5 alredy unlocked, thought it was officialy unlocked.
Is it possible? or there is no official unlock from Sprint for G5?

I mean, is there's a point contacting Spirnt support about it?

And one more question, after update would it work with any other CDMA carrier (not sprint)?

Thank you.

It may but prob not work on any other carrier. Sprint is about worthless unless u have it on a active good standing account

Would the only option be to buy another phone? Or do you think that there will be some other way to GSM unlock the G5 in the future?

People made zvc backup. Maybe it will be a step for unlock ls992 9008 death boot?

In google search ls992 zvc backup.
The zvc will be neexex to extract certain files but not the problem of restore. But good find. May be able to restore the stuck update firmware screens with the hacked lgup

I do not have the sprint g5 any more tore mine down for parts on a verizon one but if there is a zvc or higher tot or kdz
And you are stuck in firmware update you should be able to fix it yourself if no firmwarze zvc and up then there is no fix yet There is one man i know of that can fix all but verizon and sprint g5s.... he will let me know when sprint is supported
But as of rite now as I said and I hate it for you but you got a nice paper weight
