I am currently on zv7 rooted (sprint)
what's the easiest way or if not, proper way, to go to zv 9 rooted?
do I have to go back to zv6 stock and update to 9, then root?
or can I flash a zv 9 rooted image over it?
please advise
well found the answer, not sure how to delete topic
You can't delete it. Why don't you share how you did it in case someone else is wondering the same thing.
okay I grabbed the stock image from here (im on zv7)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/return-to-stock-ls996-stock-img-t3217089
then I went to this post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/development/lg-g-flex-2-ls996-zv6-sprint-5-1-1-t3169212
that post is actually to root, but all you do is instead of flashing a rooted image, flash the stock image instead
after that, I let it get the OTA updates until I was zv9 (latest)
then I went back to that thread and did the same thing, except this time flash the rooted zv9 image
it was way more simpler than I thought. No reset needed and no data was lost

In case anyone needs it, here is a clean system.img from the 10e firmware, courtesy of phineous
https://www.mediafire.com/?0g4mkg2b2mcifzb
This is not pre-rooted and should only be flashed if you are already on the 10e firmware. Do not flash this if you are on 10g as it will likely result in a soft brick.
Directions for flashing are in the general g4 > original dev > codefire root thread.
The aforementioned thread for convenience.
Thanks for this.
I have searched but have not came across a root version of 10e. Is there one?

Here's the post with the root script for injecting root into the images. I'm sure the script works fine, but I couldn't get it to run on the system I set up. It's probably a permission issue that I don't have right, but I'm too busy to figure it out now.
Anyone have a 10g stock system image? I want to update to the 10i update then try making a prerooted version of it but didn't make a backup of the 10g system before I rooted. Looking for the AT&T system image.

I support this endeavor and I too would like a copy of 10g system img.
You can find one in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3190714

Hello,
I have a rooted Verizon HTC One M8 running on Android 4.4.2. I do not have the stock recovery and for some reason I am unable to flash CWM, so I am stuck with TWRP. I keep receiving notifications that Lollipop is available to install, but it fails each time I try to install it because I am rooted. How can I unroot and get back to my stock ROM so that I can install the update?
No need to update via OTA. Just follow the instructions here and you'll be on rooted 5.0.1 stock

Questions
Thank you for the reply. Are you 100% sure this is compatible/will work with my phone? If I flash the ROM and it doesn't work, can I simply flash a backup image I made to recover? And when I flash the ROM, will I lose all the data on my phone? Also, where may I download my stock recovery? I searched all over the internet and couldn't find one for the Verizon version of the HTC One M8.
Thank you
That RUU is a complete stock firmware package, including the recovery. Read the OP.
But if you're just looking for the stock recovery you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52017763
That alone won't let you take the OTA though. If you modified your stock rom the OTA will fail.
You can find a complete stock rom elsewhere here on XDA, but why the trouble if you have it all in one neat package with the RUU?
Thank you very much for the help and useful information.
Sorry to bother you with all the questions but I have one more. How do I make a backup of my stock recovery? Say I went out and bought a new phone, how would I backup that stock recovery?
Image Update Error
Error fixed now
Hi I have a LG G Flex 2 LS996 sprint edition. It's running on firmware ZV9. I rooted it with the rooted system img. I kept the image inside my phone. Then I installed xposed and the flash mods. However, I wanted to revert to the stock rooted image, so I flashed the rooted image from download mode. The phone booted normally, and it got to optimizing apps. It finished, and it got to the lockscreen. It said systemui has stopped working. I press okay and then the entire screen went dark with only the wallpaper flashing every few seconds. At this point I'm not sure what to do. I'm afraid I might brick it because it has locked bootloader. Can someone please help?
Enter to download mode and flash latest stock rom from LG for your version. Not rooted image but stock image, and format your phone memory when flashing stock rom to be sure.
I have H955 and I use lg flash tool with stock kdz files from LG.

Okay so I did a factory reset and I had to setup everything again, however, my phone works. Now i want to find a way to completely reset everything to complete stock. The problem is that the latest TOT available for the LS996 Is the ZV8 but I'm currently running ZV9 so I'm scared that if I flashed ZV8 over ZV9 my phone will brick.
hello i have lg flex 2 sprint it was on 5.0.1 ZV4 i just tried to root it by flash ZV6 root system through dd command
after flash the rootsystem image the phone reboot to lg logo with security error then it go down and black screen i still can enter download mode..
please any body can help me to restore stock rom maybe im on zv6 rooted system
I've never even heard of a ZV4 for the Flex 2, I thought we started with ZV5 originally when the phone was released in mid-2015, guess I just missed that one entirely if it does exist.
If you can enter download mode (you said you can) then I strongly suggest you flash the ZV8 TOT file found in the link provided in this instructional post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/guide-lg-g-flex-2-stock-firmware-to-t3037593
Since we don't have a KDZ or TOT for ZV9 or even the latest ZVB firmware you have to flash those manually (not using the LG Flash Tool but the Send_Command.exe thing along with dd while the system img file is on the internal storage of the device.
I guess my one question would be: why haven't you updated when new firmware has become available, or did you just get this Flex 2 recently and it had ZV4 on it and you just never bothered.
If you do this right you can get everything working in under 30 minutes, and have even rooted ZVB ready to go (there's a rooted ZVB system img available now too, search the threads and you'll find the link to download it).
Be careful, read all the instructions, take your time, and good luck.
thank you very much for your help but I want tell you that I cant get the storage because the phone cant startup it just bootloop on security error so I cant put anything on the storage how I can transfer the file to storage
or can I flash it through lg flash tool?
I bought this phone from ebay and it come with zv4 I think who has it didn't do any updates
I had soneone ask me is it possible to update to the latest firmware and keep root. I know we cant do it via OTA or use lgup to flash it in. Since we have twrp is there a way we can install a newer firmware to the v20 insted of being stuck between 10B to 13A as those are the firmware that can be rooted
One phone had it possible but i know Android above 6.0 are picky when it comes to a modded boot image my lg g3 was on 10B and someone made image files of the stock rom to be flashed via twrp of course it was kitkay that this was done from 10B to 12B
Crap didn't realize i was on the wrong thread mebt to post it in the questions section sorry for that
