Root ZV6 Stock_Rooted_Updated

I was rooted on ZV5 loved it. Updated to ZV6 and lost my root. I wanted to root my phone again, it was a lot better. I thought the ZV6 update patch blocked the lg volt from being rooted. So thats why I ask. Im a noob to this sorry lol.
If you're not rooted how are you going to install this?

All zv6 did was patch stagefright. Check the rooting guide.

My phone still doesn't get 4G and now someone is joining in on my text message conversations. The radio loses signal and stays dead every 5 mins then comes back on. When it does that any text i was sending wont go out until i reboot my phone. An app? Unlikely seems as they're all downloaded from play store:

Youtube
Drive
Device Manager
Titanium Backup
Super SU
Uber
Letgo
Bandsintown
Spotify
Facebook
Messenger
BankofAmerica
Gmail
Maps

Can't even install anything else or my phone runs like garbage which is why i want to flash a custom rom. Been reading about this stagefright just wanted to spread the word, not the worm. I installed the stock rom as i mentioned earlier and flashed their radios, ZV5 and ZV6, CM11 and CM12. Again not throwing out blame just a heads up, this never happened until now and I've had my service for 2 years with sprint already

you probably added someone to group txt, or a friend added themselves to mess with you. also, sprint 4g isnt in every market yet so be aware of that. i live in sacramento, ca and bought my first 4g phone like years ago and only recently did we get decent 4g even though sprint markets it like they only use 4g

Downloads
Download the ZV6 Rom - Here
md5 = d2daf15ce2726b5e352f36ce304263ae

*If you are updating from ZV3, ZV4 or ZV5 and have never installed the ZV6 Radio you will also need to download the ZV6 radio image Here
md5 = 25996d63cd1a743632a96e38407a1691

1. Download the rom and if needed the radio image and place them onto your external sd card.

2. Reboot into recovery

3. Make a backup of your current system. I recommend backing up to your External SD card.

4. Install the radio image (if needed, only needs to be done once)

5. Install the ZV6 rom

6. Reboot
* It may take things a minute or two for things to settle.

Cant get 4g lte to work. I have read about switching mobile network apn settings nothing yet any guidance?

I have questions for an expert! And I'm not a novice myself. I spent a lot of time developing for the hTC Evo 3D/V, theming apps, modding frameworks, systemUIs, boot.img, etc. I also figured out a way to get free internet without a service plan. But enough on supposed credentials.
I had a glitch with turning on data radio and turning off wifi radio- forced soft boot. Maybe a result of conflicting Xposed theming modules, but I dont know- I don't understand the end of the last_kmsgs and the /dontpanic/last_kmgs were just having issue with a couple init.d scripts.
So I wiped n formatted /data /dalvik /cache and /system. Odd thing was it didn't erase my data apps
My problem is that I'm on Walmarts Data Done Right thru VM. I flashed the radio n the Rom with twrp 2.8.1.0. When it boots, activation screen starts and will NOT update. I could get to Settings by pulling down status bar n long pressing Data and then backing out of it. Tried Activate this Device from here and nothing. Then tried System Updates menu- Update Profile, it succeeded, then automatically updated prl and rebooted. To the same damn Activation screen, a firmware update auto tried and was up to date. Still have no phone or text, but do have internet. So I had to delete /priv-app/Activation.apk/odex AND /carrier/itson/app/ItsOn.apk just so it'd stop that Activation screen and could then get to home screen. btw, when that activation screen was up, and went into Settings- Home Screen, the only option was Activation, wtf. So then I tried ##UPDATE# in dialer and did the same thing, except it said hands free activation- updated profile, prl, rebooted, and tried firmware update. Still no phone or texts. I've went thru my data profile from ##DATA# and it looks legit. Can anyone tell me what their Username looks like on DDR. Mine is (phone#)@mnvo184.sprintpcs.com
Is yours like that, or does it say Chameleon somewhere?
Also tried ##(MyMSL)# and those are correct too.
Please any info on trying to get phone and text working again

You can also flash the Virgin Mobile APN by MopedRyder. I don't have the original thread, but you can download it from the attachment in the OP on http://androidforums.com/threads/port-saber-pac-rom-4-4-4-lg-l90.991943/. That should straighten out your issue
If that doesn't work, then I would do as @dvdavid888 suggested.

Just out of curiosity did you flash the right radio.img? That would cause a similar problem to the one you are facing.

I reboot but it opens up Activation App

Welcome!
Activating your device. Please wait.

Anyway to bypass this ?

I too can't get this phone to STOP trying to activate. It hasn't been activated, and it doesn't have a sim in it. EDIT: I've "TRIED to" delete the com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnel folder, but it comes back, as it must be in a protected system folder. Any suggestions? Is there any EASY way instead of loading some other app to stop this app from running?

I deleted it and it hasn't come back for me

Great Stock Rom. Much more smoother than Xperia/Stock Rom. One thing is missing that FM Radio disabled. OP can you show us how to enable and install FM Radio app for this rom. I see Xperia/Stock has FM Radio working. I tried ported FM radio app from Xperia/Stock to this rom which does not work. It looks like FM Radio chip is disable by default in this rom.

This is the straight LG software in ROM form. To use the FM radio, just install NextRadio or any other radio app.

So what is that? Can you link the thread, Not just the file?

you're right, that's what i should have done
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47388837

there will be full time dnsmasq, when switching off dnsmasq in CrossBreeder app. I've rewrote scripts, to apply to our device. And a better entropy generator is used. This kernel doesn't have frandom, if there is one, let me know, and i'll activate it.
There is a tether monitoring function in CB app to shut down dnsmasq when turning on tethering. IO Tweaks need ran manually. Many logs are included in /data and/data/media/0/ArchiDroid

I'm a bit of a newbie with ROMs.

I followed all of the instructions. Opened up TWRP, backed up everything, and then went to install. I installed the radio, and then I installed the Stock zv6 ROM directly from the zip. Phone rebooted, and a little popup said "Android is Optimizing your apps." When it finished, all that was new was the original system apps.

Android Pay still doesn't work. Is the zv6 update meant to change it to Marshmallow, or do I have the wrong idea?

They added a fix to something called "stagefright" we are lucky to have a lollipop 5.1 stock-ish equivalent (cm 12.1) but lg is well known to not upgrade OSs on their phones unless someone makes a big deal about it.
