Guys,
My experience, so far, has been positive. I was hesitating prior to read about the hard brick under or over 9%. However, I "tot'ed" the new ZVB with LGUP from my ZV6, and I got a smooth sailing. Thing was I got two under 9% and one over 9%, but the LGUP trick with ZVB restored everything back to normal. I was able to load
@tabp0le custom firmware. So, here is my successful process (and, in my case, brick-free providing you have all the files and understanding of the process):
1. Download everything in the OP.
2. LGUP the ZVB tot if you are still with ZV6 (if you OTA update, the tot file from Sprint might be rigged to prevent you from side loading firmware).
3. After you ZVB tot, reset the phone to make sure it is clean.
4. Start LGUP at 9% (in the LGUP windows, not the phone), the phone will show your COM in green at around 9% on LGUP. If you f* up, LGUP the ZVB tot file again. It seems to me the ZVB tot from the OP is including a fail safe measure to prevent bricking the process. This means that you can always tot back to the ZVB and normal operation, no matter how under or over you are; at least that happened n my case.
5. Proceed to send command at LGUp 9% to profit.
As always, keep a copy of the ZVB.img in your internal SD card.
Thanks
@tabp0le and
@Agimax for your great work, plus whoever involves in this project. You guys rock.
P.S, Would you pls modify the firmware in the future update to allow uninstall apps we don't want/use (such as G+, File Mnager...)? and Dolby Atmos app would be nice.
