Can't seem to downgrade - LG Revolution

I tried to get the downgrade on my phone. I got to the part where I have to install the .dll and it won't let me. Just to be clear that is just on the computer for now correct? Don't flame me for this question. I have rooted and have used custom roms before just never have had to downgrade.
On another note the V6.tot file will that give the devs a chance to root V6?

I haven't tried to downgrade on a home PC so I don't have any experience on how that is supposed to work..
But the v6.tot is going to be most useful for the latest radio updates, as far as I can tell
Found an iconic home, then revolted

Don't think it will help root.... but that's not as big as an issue as radio updates. You can always downgrade so getting radio is most likely a higher priority

Any help on this issue of not being able to install the .DLL file?
Sent from my VS910 4G using Tapatalk

I just did this last night to a friend's revo. Give a little more info on the pc, specifically the operating system. I was on win7 x64. I followed This thread and everything worked. Two things though. One, the usb drivers i used were LG VZW_United_WHQL_v2.1.1.exe straight from lg. Two, to install VS910.dll put it in "C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\Models\" and then right click it and install it.
I suspect something went wrong when you installed the components and genericmodels plugins as the dll will not install unless these are properly installed first.

I'm on the same. Windows 7 x64. I put it in the models folder and its saying use what service open the file. Tonight after work I will start from the beginning and see where its at.
Edit: The drivers to install properly said to reboot. Didn't do that as the instructions didn't say to reboot. Maybe I will try that before anything else.

I was going to attempt stock upgrade however running into same issues. Also version check is 1.2 lab? In the zip is cdmaworkshop? Any idea?

Ota pushed to mine too!!! 2.3!!!!!! Well, I had to start the check and there it is!!
Me 2 I just checked and it's there. Just booting up as I type. And, I just got a "Software Update Failed".
_mrbirdman_
If you guys hold off on the 2.2 OTA, ill have a pre-rooted .zip to install (will work no matter what version your on ) 7 minutes ago via web
got mine lastnight
Something about a cache error. I had to .sbf to get the update. So everything is fine now with 2.2. Now for the Droid 2 root method.
so if im rooted on regular 2.1 will it work out ok? i uninstalled kindle app and blockbuster and a few minor other ones. is that an issue?
I have a buddy with a Droid X which we rooted and then removed lots of the bloatware. He is having the same issue. I'm in this thread for the fix
As with the leaks you need to replace anything you removed from system or you take a chance of bricking. There seems to be a problem using the 2.1 .sbf after trying to run the ota so be very careful if you removed anything put it all back to be safe. My 2 cents

Returning rooted phone

As a quick FYI, I've returned two rooted Revolutions to Verizon with clockwork and both went through just fine. Anyone been charged for returning a rooted phone?
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA App
returned my bricked rooted+rom'd LG ally without a problem.
Does anyone have the bloatware that came with this device? I will be shipping back my revo to Verizon in exchange for another phone, and I'm back on the stock room, but I'm missing bloatware. Also, how can I get the stock boot image back? I think they'll realize I was rooted when they see the Droid boot animation lol .

If you have a back up from when you first rooted it should give you the stock boot.img. Then flash the stock rom found in the dev section. Then using revotoolkit.apk reinstall stock recovery. Then gingerbreak to unroot. Then update to zv6 from the about phone area and you should be good to go.

crap...
I formatted my SD card recently, and kept my latest backup , but not my original
Is there anything I can do in regards to the boot.img?
Could someone be kind of enough to make a CWR zip file for me?
I'll even pay you $5 bucks or whatever sounds good.

My recommendation would be to flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129117
If it gives you the option to update, perhaps you should try that, and it may unroot your phone.
As far as CWM, I doubt the clerks are going to play with recovery... (that's not a guarantee, however).
If you are really desperate and scared, you should use the VZW tool for reflashing the phone, but I AM NOT RECOMMENDING IT. The tool has been known to do bad things to phones that need expert help to undo if not done properly (not only that, it's a pain in the arse).
Can I flash the boot image from that nandroid?
I was going to use the tool to run the downgrade again but I keep getting errors that I was not getting when I first rooted the phone. Mostly .msi installer package errors when selecting the .tot file.
If its in there it should be fine. If not i can make a zip of the stock boot.img when i get home but it will be about 7 central time.

I don't think the boot image was included with the earlier ROMs. I *probably* have a few boot images from when I was working with Cubed on CWR, but I don't know which is which, and some of those actually can cause bricks. Boot image was p8? I don't even remember now.
As far as selecting the .tot file, it requires the support files... They come with the LGNPST Store & Lab... they would look like:
LGNPST_GenericModels_Ver_3_0_17_0.msi
I'm not positive which one is the right one as it's been a long time. Sorry this is vague, but I went through the process once, and then never again.
The person whose phone we recovered through this method had an issue after the flash where everything looked kosher, but the data would no longer work (no 3g, 4g, etc), and required Cubed's intervention to repair. So I haven't touched it since.
-mtmichaelson, thanks man, i'll just wait for you to be safe! I can wait. I'll buy you some brewski's.
-Majorpay: Yeah, I'm not too sure I want to play around with that program lol. It worked perfectly when I first rooted the phone, although I had to manually register the .dll but now it doesn't work at all.
Thanks again for all the help guys! ****, you guys have great support for this small Revo community.

[One Click]Updated!!! LG Revo All in One Pkg for Root, CWM 5.0.2.7, and Unroot

This is an All-in-One package to Root and install CWM Recovery or to UnRoot and install the stock recovery. I have spent many hours trying to modify this to be as easy as possible for all to accomplish their goals whether by modding or returning to stock.
What is This?
This is an exploit built by the Revolutionary team, that was ported to the Esteem by djrbliss, then I was able to fix permissions and install su and superuser. The exploit is not built by me, rather by the Revolutionary guys. This zip contains the proper drivers for the Revolution, all root files, and the Root&Recovery.bat file. The .bat has been modified to fix ANY of the problems people are having with root, and will make it so that CWM will stick through reboot. It installs the newest versions of the su binary and Superuser.apk. It will also install ClockWorkMod Recovery also (no need to run RevoToolkit anymore). The unroott will uninstall and delete the su binary and remove Superuser.apk. It will also remove CWM and install the stock ZV7 recovery.img. If there are any problems, just let me know.

How Do I Root and Install CWM?:
1) Download zip and extract
2) Install drivers if not already installed
3) Click Root&RecoveryAIO.bat
4) Select what you would like to do

[Q] Autorun FC

Not to familier with the rev, but i need to fix this for a friend, i tried searching so sorry if this has been answered before, but my friend deleted autorun in tibu and now the phone wont connect to a pc. she deleted a bunch of other nessisary apps as well, so i wasnt sure if a factory reset would help. shes on the V6 2.2 update, stock rooted. i assume clockwork is installed so does anyone have a link to a v6 rom that i could flash in clockwork. or the autorun apk or any better ideas?

V6 was never really rooted so a ROM wasn't made for it. I would say just update the phone to the latest update and then root and flash Broken out.

Unfortunately the software won't update without all of the stock applications that are built in to the phone. You'll need to flash the v6.tot file found here.

Ok, idk if this will work but it should. Try flashing the v8.tot from emergency download mode. (pull the bat then connect to your PC with the LG software running) flash the tot then use the test mode fix tool and you should be back to square one.
I would post links but I'm on my mobile and I'm not that coordinated.

[Q] Need help. Missing files from /preinstall folder. Will donate to you :)

Would anybody mind uploading a zip file of their "/preinstall" system folder from their Droid 4? I'm missing some files from in there. Specifically the video files for the "Guided Tours" stock app. I must have deleted them a while back, and now I can't install the Jelly Bean OTA update.
I went back to stock, removed Safestrap and unrooted the phone to do the update. And when I go to do it, it gives me an error because those files weren't found. They don't seem to be in the Droid 4 Dump, so I guess I'm S.O.L. unless I can get them from somebody.
If I deleted those, I probably deleted something else from in there, so could you please send me the whole directory? I'd be happy to throw you a donation. Ten bones sound fair? Many thanks in advance.

Yes and yes. Just DL the utility and fast boot ICS file. Unzip ICS file and move files to the files directory of utility. Make sure latest drivers are installed and battery is full connect phone run utility select boot into fast boot then option 11. Choosing to save files still won't let u install the update. Let it do its thing.

Went ahead and did it last night, and it worked! After using this to reset my ICS stock ROM, the OTA Jelly Bean Update installed just fine. Thanks a ton. I gotta say, this online community rocks! I love how helpful and supportive everybody is of each other.
One minor note, I had to do this on my roommate's Windows 7 computer to get it to work. I couldn't get it to work on either my laptop or desktop, both of which have Windows 8. The phone drivers wouldn't install. Strange; I downloaded the USB drivers from Motorola, and they appeared to install, but when I plugged my phone into the computer, and went to use the Utility, it kept giving me a "Device not found" error. And also, when I checked in "Device Manager," it showed my phone with an exclaimation point and said that the drivers weren't installed.
When I followed the same process on a Windows 7 computer, the drivers installed as soon as I plugged the phone in. Weird; Motorola's website said that the drivers were for Windows 7 and 8. I tried disabling "Signature Verification" on Windows 8, but that didn't work either. Anybody know if Motorola hasn't released Windows 8 drivers for Droid 4 yet? Just wanna know for future reference. Thanks a bunch.
