Help [GUIDE] Update to ZVD

[gbiggie]

The update for ZVD has been release. As y'all know
Download the LG Drivers here:LG _USB _Drivers_All_4.9.7.zip - File Shared from Box
Then download and run the LG update tool here:http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe

Prior to beginning backup your contacts to your SD(Contacts-More-Import/Export-Export to SD-SD Card-Select All-Export).


Plug your phone in(Choose Internet Connection Mode) and the update tool will check your phone. The "Start Updating" will turn red when the tool is done reading the phone. As shown in the picture:

Click "Start Updating" and phone will update within 30-40 minutes.
How to verify your version: Bottom left button on your phone-Settings-About Phone-SW version
BEFORE

[
AFTER

Power off your phone and remove your external SD card if you have one.

Recommended that after you finish the upgrade process that you Factory Reset your phone as shown in the pics below.

Your option to "Erase the Internal SD card" just bear in mind any pictures,docs,ect will be lost if you do.

Power off the phone and reinsert your external SD and boot up.
The Google Play will update and one of the neat things about it is it not only shows what apps are currently installed on the phone(under "My Apps") but also if you scroll right shows you every app you ever downloaded while using the user specific G mail account the phone was set up with when you first activated it

As always if you have any 's post up and one of us will help you
HOLLA

What about when you're updating from a rooted ZVB? I heard root ZVB doesn't work on ZVD so what kind of difficulties updating should I expect

Did the same thing here when the update first came out(ZVB to ZVD).
The new version breaks root however the root for ZVC works for ZVD.
All the files are in the second part here after the D update part

This might be a dumb question but do I need internet? Cause I have none at home and the reason for asking that question is because of the whole "internet connection mode thing".

Yeah you need an internet connection to download the drivers and the LG mobile support update tool to your computer. Could always use a free WiFi spot to get the two files downloaded say if you have a laptop.
The internet connection mode is referring to your phone when USB is connected to your computer

I've updated to ZVD a week after its release and ever since then my Titanium Backup has not been working properly.

I gave a scheduled backup that never gets passed 13% and if i ever try to go into TB, i get a FC within a few seconds after starting the app.

Anyone else experiencing this?

No problems here..try uninstalling the TB app from your phone then reinstall the free then the paid key and see if that corrects it.

Gbiggie, Do you think if I upgrade to a zvd rom(ldrifta's) that it'll mess up my phone? Cause I havent had any reboot issues except for yesterday when it went to the metropcs screen and the day I got it but those were only 1 time things. After that the phone never rebooted.

Update via the tool first-root-install recovery first -and make a backup before anything. That way you will always have a base to go back to just in case your phone does not like some of the changes(ROMS-Themes-ect.)
I have just been running the stock ROM with a few things deleted..with the source being released for ZVD this am...the builds for ROMS/themes/kernels should be a bit more stable

 

[Mexjoker]

Actually that is the problem lol no wifi. Dont have a laptop only a computer D:

Wait until you get a CPU to use to upgrade to ZVD. Being that you are on ZVC right now gives you the luxury of using almost all the available ROMs and such as they were all built from zvb/zvc.

I have a question? I'm on zvc firmware, rooted an I have no internet at all. Although I do have wifi tether, is it possibleto use the wifi tether to update it?

Or could I download the update like I did with my ascend an manually update it?

No because the phone has to be connected to the computer in order to update it(determine what your version is).
The file upload for the update is huge btw.

 

[bennyben]

Oh well that's a bummer. Guess I'm gonna have to find a hot spot.
