So i used dDeath2All110's guide to flash the stock LG Rom and Stock Recovery
http://androidforums.com/ally-all-things-root/166588-how-flash-stock-lg-rom.html

but i cant for the life of me get the update to be pushed to my phone. I've flashed using the guide numerous times before, and I've never had problems with it. But tonight it just wont download the updates (yes i've tried a checkin) I've already flashed both the stock rom and the stock recovery numerous times tonight.
any ideas?

thank you
happy Halloween by the way!
 
I had the same problem, downgraded to v6 and could never get updates pushed to the phone again, and it always worked before. So what i did was get the update packages that VZW push to our phones(I saved it earlier just in case) and install via Amonra Recovery. It installs but the SW Version doesnt change, Still stuck at VS740ZV6. So i just gave up. I will wait to see if someone finds a solution. Trident said he was going to research and see if he finds what triggers the change in the about menu and add in V4.

Me too! And its not even my phone! Bug in the system?

EDIT: One last thing for you to try...

Flash stock recovery, and check to make sure you have it. (power down and pres send+menu+end and let go on LG logo
Flash V6 Rom
As soon as it finishes starting for 1st time, Power down and press and hold
Vol Down+Home+End and let go at LG logo.
Let it reboot.
should take you to google sign-in page.
sign in
Dial *22899
Let that complete. (Yes it will say its activating)
When it reboots, dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#*
Goto Settings>About Phone>System Updates
Post back with results.

Ill try what you said as soon as i get home. I called Verizon, the lady who i spoke to had no idea what the ZVB update was, and had no idea what to do. She forwarded me to technical support. The guy told me to take the phone to a Verizon store and that they would update it for me.So i go in and they tell "sorry, we cant update smart phones..." so i really hope what you said works D:

EDIT: HOLY HELL BATMAN IT WORKED :D

its downloading the ZV8 update right now. Hopefully it'll do the ZVB update as well.
