NM! Just saw that option in the tool. Der. Thanks!

Cool. If it works for you can you show coned miro how to unbrick? He just made a new thread for support and i gotta head out real quick.

You missed the last post on the last page, airtioteclint

blumeany · October 19th, 2012, 03:52 PM

Downloaded the cab again, and I think I've gotten past the extract error. Seeing if it will go through now.

Well i tried looking around for instructions on your guys phone but there doesn't seem to be anything so you will have to adapt with the instructions for the motion.

Got it working and I'm back in business. Think I'll swap out the phone still if they send me a brand new one.

Thanks for all your help. I posted my steps in the other thread.

xxwhynotxx · October 19th, 2012, 04:24 PM

Hey all,

anyone know is there a way to have it so I have to use a pattern to unlock every 30 minutes but otherwise its just the slide to unlock?

phillip_viado · October 19th, 2012, 04:25 PM

I'm trying to update to the 5mb file but after it reboots it says update fail. I'm on stock not root

fatdaddysnacks · October 19th, 2012, 04:26 PM

I'm pulling the ota

fatdaddysnacks · October 19th, 2012, 04:41 PM

Try it on the computer

xxwhynotxx · October 19th, 2012, 04:45 PM

OTA worked for me!

dty06 · October 19th, 2012, 04:49 PM

I'm downloading the update now, but it seems to be 628 MB, which is much larger than the 387 MB everyone else seems to be getting. Well...here goes nothing.

blumeany · October 19th, 2012, 04:52 PM

First impressions: slow, clumsy. Hoping it smooths out a little bit. Particularly when I'm going to remove icons from the screen. Screen gets all shaky and then launches a couple programs I didn't even want to open.

fatdaddysnacks · October 19th, 2012, 05:01 PM

It does its still ""settlin"" in right now

blumeany · October 19th, 2012, 05:19 PM

fatdaddy - did you have to re-root after your upgrade? If so, how did you do it? I'm trying to run the rooting tool I have and it's not working.

xxwhynotxx · October 19th, 2012, 05:35 PM

I want to say yes he did.

fatdaddysnacks · October 19th, 2012, 05:58 PM

Yes i did i posted a link to the method i used in the all things root sub forum

coned_miro · October 19th, 2012, 06:16 PM

Even after all the downloading, converting and flashing -> It still boots to the LG Logo, flashes, there's another LG Logo, it hangs, then turns black.

So I'm pretty much SOL then?

fatdaddysnacks · October 19th, 2012, 06:28 PM

No im sure theres a way to fix its always easier if we knew exactly what you did and if there was someore development for the phone

fatdaddysnacks · October 19th, 2012, 06:29 PM

You might even want to go to the connect forum they seem to have more devs and its pretty much the same phone. Just hang in there dont give up

coned_miro · October 19th, 2012, 06:41 PM

lol I'm not, I'm going to try the software update via PC again and see if I can't trick it into working-> it's already downloaded the file and is Updating right now

coned_miro · October 19th, 2012, 06:48 PM

Nope:

saw the Android and the blue progress bar, went to [LG], went black with backlight on

fatdaddysnacks · October 19th, 2012, 06:52 PM

Does it reboot or just stay on black screen?

Strange. The kdz method was the only one i knew of not owning a lucid myself that had a chance. Maybe somebody else can think of something.

You can always take your pbone to the store and telm them something went wrong during their update. Which is true. Lol they gotta replace it for you.

coned_miro · October 19th, 2012, 07:00 PM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMqLfq7Tm08

That is a video showing what the Lucid does from plugged in, not turned on to turned on.

It starts, tries to install an update, and then shows LG and flashes to a black screen with the backlight - I just took that video and teh Lucid is next to me still plugged in, still on the black/backlight screen

fatdaddysnacks · October 19th, 2012, 07:02 PM

Never thought of that one

Verizon is my LAST OPTION really - car's in the shop and I won't be seeing it for 4 more days =/

fatdaddysnacks · October 19th, 2012, 07:05 PM

In the video the lg logo doesnt have the sparkle on it so it hasnt actually taken the ics

fatdaddysnacks · October 19th, 2012, 07:06 PM

Which update tool are you using when getting the update

coned_miro · October 19th, 2012, 07:09 PM

LGMobile Support Tool V.1.6.0.0

fatdaddysnacks · October 19th, 2012, 07:13 PM

Try the vzw upgrade assitant

fatdaddysnacks · October 19th, 2012, 07:22 PM

Now i got a question. I have a lg lucid i bypassed the activation, would the process be the same when i upgrade it

coned_miro · October 19th, 2012, 07:24 PM

you don't know of a link do you - i'm Googling to the best of my abilitiesssss

fatdaddysnacks · October 19th, 2012, 07:27 PM

It installed when i plugged my phone in

coned_miro · October 19th, 2012, 07:34 PM

welp, I'm officially giving up and will try and find a ride to Verizon tomorrow and tell them their updating system blew my phone up

coned_miro · October 19th, 2012, 07:46 PM

Thank you for all the help though guys!

Seems to be working correctly. Install performed while I was away from the phone (stupid, I know) but it seems to be working correctly. I'm liking the new customization options. Never used widgets but I think I'll start.

blumeany · October 19th, 2012, 08:02 PM

Coned, not sure if this will make a difference, but I noticed afterward that while I was doing all that stuff I had left a command window open that was waiting to reinstall stock recovery. It did appear to run. Not sure if that affected my outcome or not.

iolpiolp8 · October 19th, 2012, 08:46 PM

I got it woot. Was a pain in the ass, especially without internet

But I got it working. Love it so far, start up was a bit slow, but that's normal from what I've heard. ICS IS HERE!!!! WOOOOOOOO

sudo77 · October 19th, 2012, 09:17 PM

Okay guys I've got a stumper for you.

I was on stock android Rom with root. tried to download the ota and when the phone rebooted it went into cwm recovery. rebooted again and uninstalled cwm in applications screen. tried installing update again and phone still went into cwm recovery. rebooted once more and initiated a factory reset in the phone settings to try and remove cwm completely from the phone. rebooted again and STILL went to cwm. and at this point the phone would only boot to cwm. used the delooper to get it out of cwm and phone booted successfully with all data wiped and unrooted (i used voodoo to unroot at one point) but super user still installed. tried using superoneclick to remove super user but all I get is a missing driver error and it freezes. tried using the kdz method and it gives me a Microsoft c++ runtime error. if I try to update ota the phone will reboot and show the update installation screen but about 1/6 of the way through it shows a triangle with exclamation point inside it and reboots. if I try to update with pc connection it doesn't give me the option to install the software for the phone , even if I check in "my computer" so at this point I'm stuck without root and with superuser still on the phone. ota update fails and pc update won't install the vzw software .

wat do? am I effed? I'm effed aren't I.

I mean it takes a super long time. But I guess you probably waited.

phillip_viado · October 19th, 2012, 09:54 PM

how do i go back to stock v6 so i can get the ota

xxwhynotxx · October 19th, 2012, 10:17 PM

Would a hard reset work?

Or just use computer?

skeeterpro · October 20th, 2012, 12:09 AM

Started with rooted stock. OTA failed (naturally) Stock recovery (TWRP and CWM will usually cause OTA to fail). Used VZW Update tool. Updated flawlessly. Will break root (as most ROM updates from carrier will).

Unless you have a custom ROM, factory reset is usually un-needed. Note I said "un-needed".

YMMV

Try getting the phone's drivers from the LG support site and the Verizon Software Upgrade Tool from the Verizon support site. Hopefully you can get the computer to recognize the phone and an update will fix the problem. The update wipes root anyway I believe.

Hope this helps.

coned_miro · October 20th, 2012, 02:58 AM

Welp update, it works.

I went home, plugged my phone into the wall - started Full Metal Jacket - half way through went and checked on the phone and it wanted me to set it up.

SCORE -> thank you all!

xxwhynotxx · October 20th, 2012, 10:28 AM

Hows battery life for everyone?

bsbtec · October 20th, 2012, 10:53 AM

Battery drains a lot faster but it also seems to charge really fast. i also noticed my memory consumption is up

xxwhynotxx · October 20th, 2012, 12:13 PM

Shoot, hoping that was just a fluke. If after a few days of wear and tear it still drains this fast we need to file a report saying they need to update that. Where would I do that?

I don't like charging my phone at any time besides night.

Mine did that on the OTA "small" zv6b update file, took it what seemed like 20 minutes before it rebooted after being "black screen" before it came back and said update failed. try to let it set while plugged into a charger and just wait. when it says it failed then try to use the lg support tool to update, that's what I ended up having to do...
