Zvd tot now available

[iBowToAndroid]

You can downgrade from ZVF and ZVE without getting hard bricked - no worries. (No guarantee for future updates higher than ZVF).

If you use this to upgrade from ZVC or lower, you cannot go back down lower than ZVD or you will get hard bricked.

File works fine in LGUP. Don't ask me how to install or use it - there's plenty of that already on the forums.

Happy flashing!

But LGUP is way less work

Plus, I don't think it would give you the DLL anyways. I created the tot myself using software to pull the partitions from another phone and compile everything together

Is there a possibility of using this tot file to create a more updated MellowMallow installation? I think MellowMallow is currently based on the much older ZVB version.

I have no idea. You'd have to talk to the ROM dev. I doubt it though.

I'm sure a flashable ROM zip could be created, but that would require a custom recovery in order to be installed.

MellowMallow is in TOT form IIRC but the problem is that there's no root method for ZVD

since they are both mm basebands its possible for it to work not garantied though

Noob question, but what is the benefit of downgrading from ZVF/ZVE to ZVD? Will I be able to root or tether without root? Thanks.

Nothing really. There have been a few probs i guess on e or f. Which now having a compatible tot can possibly fix that. Soft brick from bad firm flashes

Where is the link for zve and zvf file

Please provide zve and zvf file,i can not find any,only zvd is available,please provide ls991zve and ls991zvf file,thanks....

Why do you think such files even exist? Your mention of them is the first I've heard that they would exist?

 

[iBowToAndroid]

Please pay me $100 per file and I'll provide them. Hahaha.

Or.....

You can flash ZVD and then OTA update to ZVE and then ZVF if you want. Very easy process

 

[TheMadScientist]

Lol.

 

[Juanlo17]

Brother this tot works for the LG G4 LS991ZVE ?? I await your reply thanks

So has anyone actually flashed this TOT to confirm it works? The structure seems different from prior TOTs and the entire extracted TOT (via WindowsLGFirmwareExtract) is smaller than even a compressed version of ZVB's system image. Either this TOT is missing too much critical data to be used for a full restore or it's incompatible with the only decompilation tools I can find. Either way, as it is, it's useless for creating custom (Mellowmallow-style) ROMs.

EDIT: Maybe the tools I was using weren't accounting properly for the different structure. I did a bit of tweaking with LGBinExtract and managed to pull out a full system.img. Still haven't actually flashed the TOT to downgrade my ZVF phone, though.

I didnt look at the file structure. But 1.6 gb is the file size which is typical for g4 tots.
Anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5

I've just flashed this rom on a LS991 with ZVE with lgup but i dont know if i am doing something wrong, when you flash a tot like this, the phone must restore to factory defaults? or when a tot is flashed the phone just do an "upgrade" ... In my case I used this tot to install from stratch a new rom, cause im stuck in the setup wizard :/

No, not firmware extractor.

I use 7Zip for highest compression, so use that to extract
