Root Update from ZVA to VV3 Or VV4

carolcityboyz · Mar 11, 2013

If you don't have an internet connection, it'll be best to download the op files since its a one-time download. I don't know what city your in but try the library, mcdonalds, starbucks, barnes & nobles, malls, parks, public transit, etc for wifi.

For those of you who may or may not believe that a baseband for a phone can make a huge difference?? This is my speedtest result from here at work since updating to only VV3, I used to max out at around 6mb

This is freaking insane speeds

Wish I had those figures. I've run everything from ZV8 to VV4. My speeds are never any faster or slower; only difference is connectivity ZV* drops 4G like it's hot and VV* keeps a better hold of 4G instead of switching every 20 secs. Boston area 4G blows anyway LOL, I get faster speeds miles outside of the city, not that fast though

I have one of the first LG Connect 4G.... can i flash VV3 on it?

jmwinf146 · Mar 13, 2013

Yep don't see why not. I put vv4 on mine and battery life is great. Don't really care about root now.

Yes you can. I have OG Connect Myself, VV3 and VV4 work great. If you like your phone rooted you.have to use VV3. VV4 cannot be rooted, but does indeed have great battery life

Did you notice a difference between VV3 and VV4?

If you mean 4G speed, not really. 4G here in Boston is slow, so I would have noticed. VV4 kept a better lock on 4G, where as VV3 switches between 1x and 4G more frequently, but not nearly as much as ZV* firmware. VV3 is happy medium for me, gotta have root access

I went from ZVA to VV3 and lost all data connections. Help?

Spec2nirvash · Apr 22, 2013

Flash VV4, followed by a factory reset (pwr and vol- keys), confirm reset. See if that brings data back.

VV4 is not downloading for me. Hits 6 megs and gives up.

vyncentcarver · Apr 22, 2013

I tried VV5 and still nothing, even after factory reset.

Spec2nirvash · Apr 22, 2013

And do you have zero signal? Like a red X? Most of the radio issues we were having is the red X, but all data including 4G still worked. I think there was a couple of peeps that lost 4G but had everything else.

vyncentcarver · Apr 22, 2013

I have the bars, but no 4G, 3G, nothing. I can make calls, but no apps work or anything. I'm at my wits end trying to fix this all afternoon.

Spec2nirvash · Apr 22, 2013

It sounds like a different problem. Did you go into your mobile network settings and make sure your phone's data is enabled? VV4 is what usually brought signal back....

vyncentcarver · Apr 22, 2013

Yes everything is correct in the Mobile Network Settings, Data / Roaming data enabled. Still nothing.

Spec2nirvash · Apr 22, 2013

What firmware is your phone running right now?

I am using VV5, Model LG-MS840, Baseband SW_VER 1, Stock VV5 rom.

Spec2nirvash · Apr 22, 2013

You can also try toggling airplane mode off/on, and the same with data. Try both. You're the first case of losing data while flashing VV3 from ZVA, so I can't really help beyond that. Only thing I have left is to keep trying for VV4

vyncentcarver · Apr 22, 2013

Is there an alt. download link for VV4? it doesn't download but 6mb.

Spec2nirvash · Apr 22, 2013

Most of the problems were eventually fixed with a bunch of hail mary passes. Restoring backups, flashing more firmware, etc. But losing all data while keeping phone is not what usually happened, esp with flashing VV3 :thinking:

vyncentcarver · Apr 22, 2013

Yeah it's weird, even with flashing ZVA again it still doesn't recover. I might try to load miamiguy's VV3 rom and see if that helps.
