SPRINT FACTORY SYSTEM IMAGE FILES
LG LS991 ZV5/ZV6

I have compressed and uploaded FACTORY SYSTEM image files for both ZV5 and ZV6.

NOTE: You should only flash the image version you are currently running!

Sprint LS991 ZV6 Factory System Image File:
ZV6 System Image Link
MD5: e31125d22df1882d5247b046476b04c5

You may flash these by using the same command from the software you used to root your G4

1.) Unzip and copy the img file to your phones internal memory.
2.) Open an administrator command prompt in windows with your phone plugged in and go to original directory you used to root your phone. (LG ROOT)
3.) Type 'Ports.bat' in the window prompt to view what port your LG G4 is connected to.
4.) Type in the window (change COM4 to your port number if different):

Code:

Send_Command.exe \\.\COM4

5.) In the command prompt type (change to ZV5 to ZV6 if you are restoring that version):

Code:

dd if=/data/media/0/systemZV5.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=557312 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

Once completed, reboot and you will have a fully stock system again.

Thanks so much for doing this for us!

Just to make sure I got this right: I'm currently on ZV5 rooted. If I wanted to take the ZV6 OTA I would use the method above with the ZV5 image and then I'll be totally stock? What will get wiped? Once I take ZV6 OTA is there a way to root it?

Request: I forgot to pull ZV5 Modem and Kernel partition images before i updated to ZV6. If someone could be so kind as to pull both of those, i will upload and add them to the link also.

I'll do it you tell me how. I'm on rooted ZV5

mswlogo · Sep 20, 2015 at 4:53 AM

Yes, you can root ZV6.
If you do it right you won't lose anything.
I posted a thread on ZV6 root in general forum.

Thanks, i am also posting Stock Rooted Images in post #2 for those that want them. ~~It will be a few hours before the Images finish uploading.~~ I'll also upload the ZV6 update zip for those that need it. I'm about 60% done with the UltraPOP V1 ROM for the G4 also

Thank you!

Open Command Prompt (Admin rights) In Windows or Linux or Android Terminal

1.) type 'adb shell' then at the $ prompt type 'SU' to gain superuser rights in the shell window and accept the prompt on the Phone

2.) Type For The Kernel:

Code:

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/kernelZV5.img

3.) Type for the Modem:

Code:

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modem of=/sdcard/modemZV5.img

I already have them for ZV6. I appreciate this!

My ADB skills are garbage. Do I just open a command prompt in C>program files> ...platform tools
When I type SU there it says its not recognized as a command.

Edit: On terminal editor when I typed the command for the Kernel I get: NO such file or directory.

I've been rooting since EVO 4G and I still can't do shiiiiit on ADB. It's sad.

Sorry, type 'adb shell' from command prompt first then after you get a $ prompt type `su' which you will have to accept prompt on phone.

Was my fault not yours, I also gave you the commands for the G2 instead of G4 by accident, use these: (I corrected original post too)

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/kernelZV5.img
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modem of=/sdcard/modemZV5.img

So, I think I messed up. I reverted to v5 unrooted, then tried to upgrade to v6 rooted and Im getting a security error on the LG screen.

Getting permission denied for both the modem and kernel. Thoughts? Also, if this was successful where exactly would the MODEM and KERNEL be saved? I'm guessing the rootfolder of the internal SD card?

From rooted V5 you used the method in the OP of this thread? Did following the instructions in the OP lead you to stock unrooted V5? If so, were you able to take the OTA to V6? At what step did stuff get messed up exactly? I'm asking because I'm going to be attempting this soon too but I'm being overly cautious with this phone.

I first did V5 unrooted. All worked well. Then I did the exact same thing, except with V6 rooted and got a security error. I did not receive the OTA either. I just did a TOT restore, and still no OTA. I'm going to try to upgrade V6 with the images in the OP and see what happens. Perhaps I should have done the stock unrooted image before trying the rooted image.

You need to put v5 unrooted back on the phone, then use the 'UpdateZV6.zip' smaller file to update (in the third post -has dropdown step instructions).

Also important:

After taking the ZV6 update - WE CAN NEVER USE TOT GOING BACK TO ZV5, there is protection in place and will brick your device. I posted in the ZV5 TOT thread hoping the OP would attach the disclaimer a few days ago.

Luckily, you didn't take the ZV6 update yet so you are safe.

Would be saved on the root of your internal memory SDCARD (Not External).

Permission Denied Possibilities:
1.) You aren't rooted or your superuser prog is set to deny
2.) You didn't type SU in the shell that changes the $ to the # and asks your phone with a popup for root permission.
3.) You denied the popup for the shell asking your phone for root.

If after you ran 'adb shell' command and then typed 'su' there should be a popup for permission to access on your phone and then the '#' sign will appear in the shell prompt.

* also i don't want to confuse others about the instructions for pulling the Modem & Kernel from the ZV5 with flashing System images or thinking this is part of the process in the OP when it is not. *

Glad you finally got it!:good:

I wish they would change the ZV5 TOT method with a huge RED warning for people on ZV6.

Ok, I finally got it to work w/o an issue. I just overlooked granting SU permission on the phone as you pointed out. Now I just have to find where it saved the modem and kernel img...

EDIT: Found them. Where is the best place to upload them? I think they are too big to upload here on XDA
