If there is any newer/older firmware, this would be the thread to post about it as well as alternative links.

Stickied!



Sammy, un-stick as you deem necessary.

Thanks!

 

[sammyz]

Unstuck.

Reason: no point in having a thread stickied when the stickied unbrick thread contains a link to this thread

 

[scary alien]

Unstuck.

Spoiler

Didn't take long to derail at all :rofl:

Here's V7: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6qm6EiEv6LSVXU4aUY5OVl2MXc/edit?usp=sharing

The alternative to V5/V6 does not contain V5. It has V6 and V8.

 

[wiisixtyfour]

V5 should still work using the LG link

 

[Alexminatl]

It does, but its incredibly slow.

 

[wiisixtyfour]

How's this? https://googledrive.com/host/0B6qm6EiEv6LSTjNUUVczU2h4M1k/

 

[noseph]

I have added a V5 to the alternate.

 

[noseph]

I have added V7 to https://www.box.com/shared/hpapn930pad7afw85bth it should now contain all of the Lucid cabs.

I was going to post this under your profile sammy, but I haven't posted enough so I'll have to leave it here!

Thank you for Official LG Lucid Firmware topic. I'm having to downgrade my firmware to my LG LUCID(cayman) because I am unable to root the VS840ZV8. I've had VS840ZV7 rooted before, and used Voodoo OTA RootKeeper v.2.0.3 to restore root in the past, but this time Verizon had to send me a new phone, within 5min the phone updated itself to V8 and I've searched everywhere on how to root this bugger, but no one seems to had made the attempt root on this version yet.

Sorry for the long story, but I wanted to give you big props on the topic with the firmware, it's going to be a big help in getting this sucker back to how I like it. =-) Take care!

You can root ZV8 with the ZV7 Spectrum ICS method.

Fixed bad links

OP updated with VS840PP2 firmware.

Cheers!

VS840PP, how is that firmware? I've never used it.

 

[xxwhynotxx]

What is it?

Idk, but you'll have to manually update to use it. The MS840 got an updated hardware version called the MS840V. The updated hardware enabled vLTE and with it came a release of newer firmware. The newer firmware works fine on both phones. In fact the newer firmware was 10x more stable on the MS840 when it was running MS840V firmware.

My theory: this is the same thing except for the Lucid

 

[wiisixtyfour]

Actually I believe that the prepaid lucid (LG Optimus Exceed) doesn't have 4G capabilities, so I would think the firmware would handle that and not work for regular Lucids. At least thats what I presume.

What is the model number of that phone???

 

[acharlest]

Will the GB firmwares work for the prepaid Lucid (Optimus Exceed)?
