ZVI tot now available

[iBowToAndroid]

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

If you use this to upgrade from a lower version, you may get hard bricked if you attempt to then downgrade again in the future. I know for a fact that you cannot downgrade past ZVD, but I do not know if they also incremented the bootloader in any versions between ZVD and ZVI. So I would only recommend upgrading if you know for a fact that you will never want to downgrade. And maybe someone else will be able to chime in on whether you can downgrade from this version.

Happy flashing!

If anyone wants just the system.img (for making custom ROMs or extracting bits and pieces), you can find it here. It's untested as I don't own a G4 anymore, but at the very least, don't flash it if you're not already on ZVI.

For anyone who wants to extract the system.img themselves, just download and compile LGBinExtractor, point it towards your TOT, confirm that it's a valid TOT, accept all the prompts, and wait. The tool doesn't fully recognize G4 TOTs and won't automatically name the dumped partitions, but the system.img is usually the largest (around 4.3GiB) and last one dumped.

Oh man I wish I knew how to use the img file to update mellowmallow! I hate that I'm stuck using an older ROM just because I want to keep wifi tether option! I see no way to maintain the free wifi tether hack if I upgrade to ZVI, if anyone knows a way?

Hahaha. It would be extremely easy for me to make one. It would have all the Sprint software still but it would be GSM unlocked...

Would be great if one can be made. I am sure it would be useful to people.

Can You? I need ZVI unlocked.

 

[NimaXDA]

I bought a new G4 with ZVI (locked) installed. I want to downgrade to ZVA, ZVB or ZV5,6... So that I could install a custom rom bcz there is no way to enable APN settings in it. How can I do that, any help?

 

[NimaXDA]

Does anybody has rooted img of ZVI?

 

[sutrau]

If anyone wants just the system.img (for making custom ROMs or extracting bits and pieces

We need root for ZVI ! )
if anyone have ideas or manual, post it here! PLZ!

This is for both of you downgrade is not possible and root is even farther If you have to have root Pick a different device.

Is ZVI still Marshmallow? or is it Nougat? Is there official Nougat for Sprint G4?

Didn't someone post that they were able to do use the LG G5 sprint unlock method posted ..........for their LG G4 sprint on ZVD ? They said it worked until they took an update.


I know ZVF can be downgraded to ZVD. So if ZVI can be downgraded to ZVD (not sure), then maybe that is a possible working unlock with ability to edit/add apn.

So the first question is if ZVI can be downgraded to ZVD.
