I thought I might open this up since I didn't see it anywhere. Anyway, ill start with my side.
I was on revolt 1.5 (big thanks mtm) and had a haphazard way of getting to zv7. Anyway, I restored stock without wiping, both system and boot.img from thecubeds original factory band, started up fine. Then used revotoolkit to restore stock recovery, downloaded the update and updated sucessfully. I then rooted with the esteem method, free and clear, and restored, among other things, my apps with data that I backed up in ti. Everything was generally fine, with minor hiccups from restoring app data so just manually wiped data from problem apps one by one. After that, gingervolt had come out and I figured that if I flash it over my current setup, worse case scenario I go back and wipe data and install from scratch. But, as luck had it, after taking awhile to rebuild the dalvik cache, everything was fine and dandy.
So how did yours go? Any stories or experiences? Thought this would be good for general discussion and as insight for everyone.

yes tell all as I have heard going right from v4 to v7 was a no go.
You beat me to the punch...I was on Revolt 1.5 and loving it but I want GB. So I downgraded to the stock rooted nandroid backup found here. I went to settings> about phone> software update and...nothing. I tried a few times, I waited for awhile and nothing. I then flashed the z4 tot file, nothing, I updated the z6 file and rooted that and nothing (see a pattern?) I am currently running the Z6 rooted file.
Any help would be appriciated. By the way mtmichaelson you are the man.
I think we are all in the same boat Verizon hasn't uploaded the update to the servers we can download from for now I'm staying stock rooted with stock recovery until they push the update to me so that i can install it when it gets here basically the only thing we can do is wait

My impressions
I was patient and stuck with a CWM/rooted stock V4 ROM.
I uses MT's ROM stock and followed instructions and upgraded through OTA to GB without a hitch. I also erased the internal SD to remove any gremlins from past experimentation.
I used his root zip and it when without a hitch except for the CWM recovery not sticking after reboot.
I notice that the audio output is louder, not one single crash or forced close, faster 4G and GPS, and faster charging. I plan to wait to see how the custom ROMs perform before flashing it and hopefully the CWM issue will be resolved soon.
We all need to thank everyone who has made this possible!
Just curious, what part of the country are you guys in that can't get the update?
I can't get the update and I'm in central California.

As far as secrets, I cant think of many hidden things I did. A little more detailed though, I had revolt 1.5, backed up everything, and didnt wipe any data.
I went to cwr, made a nand backup, and without wiping anything went straight to flash thecubed's root nandroid rip with advanced restore, with the stock system.img and boot.img, and that booted fine.
Then in android, I used revotoolkit to flash the stock recovery, and I think its this step that at least partially 'allows' the update. I guess something where it checks what is installed to check if there's an update.
Then I got the update prompt for zv6, and it updated fine, although it wasnt rooted afterward. Shortly after, I got another update and it updated to zv7 and 2.3.4, still unrooted. Although my apps were still there, some had issues from remnants of data from froyo, like force closes. So I manually, selectively deleted data in 'manage apps' as I found problem apps.
Then I used the esteem root to root it, and after finding the working, updated one it went fine.
After that, gingervolt came out, and although it was warned to wipe data strenuously before switching, I figured that if I at least made a nandroid before flashing anything, then the worst case scenario if flashing gingervolt over stock gb turned out to fail, I could either wipe data anyway and reflash like normal, or by some crazy chance it'd work, and I just got lucky when it worked. It just took a good 5-7 minutes to boot I presume because it has to rebuild the dalvik cache (based on what/how many apps you have?) and here we are. I hope this explains more so others may have success stories.

It may have to do, like I put above, with putting stock recovery + boot + system.img from stock zv4. Try that if you can and report the results if it deems beneficial.

And I completely have to agree haha. After updating and rooting, I got instant gps lock, have yet to have any fc's or reboot besides the usual routines, and I know Ill have to post a ss to prove it but I was able to get consistent 20-30mbps down with a single 42mbps down speedtest on the speedtest.net app, when before even on a great day it would peak at 16mbps. Loving gingerbread, especially since (coming from a droid) its on a phone meant to handle gb. Afaik, gb's mem manager was more built for 512mb+ (correct me if Im wrong), although it manages everything so much better. As good as gb is on my OG droid, there are a good # of screen redraws lol.
I started from Revolt 1.5. I made a NAND banckup, then got rid of CWM with RevoToolKit. Flashed the v6 tot file with LGNPST, updated to GB OTA, then rooted with mt's script. All-in-all it was pretty painless. I didn't do a data/cache wipe until I went to put on Gingervolt.

Odd. On Halloween, in Cerritos, I reverted to stock and got immediate zv6 upgrade download without even going to settings. zv7 came automatically too.
The only thing I can think of is my phone has never been on vz6 before. Are the people who are having trouble ones who downgraded from zv6 to 4 and then rooted?

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.

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.

Yeah, if you're coming from Motorola phones, you'll find the Revo remarkably easy to customize. No more bootstrapping for you.
It's almost so easy, you'll worry you're doing something wrong just because it "should be" more difficult.

Thanks for all the input guys and yes it did seem too easy. That's why I asked questions. Everything went smoothly though and I am now on Gingervolt. Couple of questions/comments about this phone though, first, maybe its coincidence but it seems like my 4g speeds are faster after flashing Gingervolt. When the phone was stock and stock rooted, I was only getting 10-11 Mbps download and 6-7 Mbps upload. Now I am getting high 20's download and high teens upload which is what I was expecting anyway. Also, have any of you noticed this phone rebooting on its own and sometimes just being powered off when you reach for it? I haven't seen the rebooting since getting Gingervolt going but twice this morning already I have gone to check it and the phone was just powered off...
Also, any recommendations on a wifi tethering program that works well with the revo?
Forgive my ignorance but what is IRC and how do I use/participate?

Personally, I'm not a fan of using the IRC webchat. If you plan on using it more than once or twice, it's worth the time to install an IRC app.
The most popular one for Windoze is mIRC. I'm on a Mac and use Colloquy, but there may be a better option out there, I haven't bothered to check. No idea what a good Linux client is, but Google knows all.

I am having quite a few issues with my phone running slower then a Ferrari with no engine lol everything lags horribly bad. Even just opening my contact list takes a couple minutes before it opens. And just trying to type a text or typing this post right now takes so long cause the keyboard lags out so bad and can't keep up with the speed I type like it usually has no problem doing.
So I was hoping someone could give me detailed, step by step instructions or a guide, to restore your phone back to unrooted stock, just came out of the box, settings. I wanna completely restart my phone. But I don't know how to go about doing that. I've done it with my last two Android phones. Which were a Droid X and before that a Droid 2 Global. But I was told that the process for Motorola phones, which you just use RSDlite and its pretty easy but like I said. I was told that RSDlite only works with motorola phones. So if someone could help me do this. It would be very much appreciated.
I already restored my nandroid back up I made before flashing the last rom I was using. So I am just using the stock ZV7 LG rom but its rooted. I also wanna be able to do the process of keeping my phone rooted and still be able to go to the new ZV8 version. My phone keep trying to update everyday but obviously it wont work cause I am rooted and plus I don't want to stuck and unable to root my phone amd flash tols and what not. Which last time I checked no one has figured out how to just straight root the new ZV8 version. You have to do that process that just lets you keep rooted and still update. Which hopefully someone will figure out how to just root ZV8 itself.
Anyways, like I said, if someone could help me completely restart my phone and start fresh as if it just came out of the box for the first time. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

ZV9 ? I thought it was ZV8 was the latest update. Cause I am on ZV7 which was the update before the latest one, at least as far as I know. I am pretty sure I am on ZV7 and ZV8 was the latest. Have they come out with another update recently ? cause last time I Checked about 4 or 5months ago, ZV8 was the one that just came out.
It is really easy. Flash the v8 TOT. Upgrade to v9, do a factory reset and bam out of box v9. You can then root and what ever else (re-install apps)

okay, it's not that easy. I'm a noobie. I flashed the v8 tot, and I know it worked since in phone info, it changed from v4 straight to v8. BUT, for some reason, superuser and my old apps were still in the phone on the v8.

Alright short story I bought this phone off of craigslist about 2 weeks ago. Started having a problem with text not being sent or received so I called verizon and they said the phone had a manufacture warranty so they sent me a refurb phone. Well I had rooted my first phone so I needed to return it to stock to send back. I used the all in one to root the phone so I was going to use it to unroot it. Well it unrooted the phone but did not reinstall stock recovery. I knew it wouldn't do anything but I did a factory wipe on the phone which got me stuck in CWM. Did some searching on the fourms found a exit recovery.zip then I was trying to find out how to get stock recovery back on the phone and only thing I could find was to flash a .tot file with LGNPST. So my attemps started with that. I was using a windows 7 64bit computer and ran into all kinds of problems installing .dll's After finnaly getting them to work (or at least I thought I did) I flashed zv9 to the phone got 19% complete then a error popped up. I can't remember what it said though. device had the lg downloading data do not unplug screen. I had to unplug and pull battery. I then reinstalled LGNPST on a 32bit computer and started the whole process again. With a error again. Why is this such a hard process. Stayed up for 6 hours trying to get this phone back to stock. I have to have it done tonight to send back to verizon.
Try the v8 tot, then ota to v9.

yes. Glad it worked for you. I have yet to get the v9 tot to flash. I just do the v8 and ota. Has never failed.
Yea worked like a champ! Now I got a new device and it doesn't seem like there is much modding as far as roms and what not for this phone. I came from the droid 3 only because it went in a pool with me. Im thinking about selling this and getting the galaxy s3. I have a problem with not retrieving mms messages and it is just a pain.
so even if im rooted and everything if i just flash v8 using the LG program, it'll revert me to stock?
and wipe everything right?
Yep. Follow the steps to use LGNPST and when done, go into settings and do a factory reset to go back to full stock.

So how did you get to zv9 root?
zv8 -> software updated -> zv9 then use that site?
I used the V9 tot, factory reset, then ran the all in one.

It looks like some have V8 tot, factory reset, took the ota to V9 and then ran the all in one.

And no, it's not kit kit. I'll wait for the brave souls to experiment...

Nothing about this update has me even thinking about switching back to stock for this. But thanks for the heads up.
Anyone have a copy of the stock recovery? Don't want to flash all the way back to stock but would like to take the update. Currently running tarp.

I know this breaks root, but is it possible to root again or do we have to find a new way to root. I only want to root for tethering and debloat. Verizon sucks when they load everything they can on top of a phone that has a lot of apps already installed on it.
Best to get a copy of it to the devs. If it works like the razr, you can d/l but not install it and pull the file from cache.

Use Titanium backup, and freeze Software Update MUC.
This should prevent you from getting the update.

Yeah, I'm on stock, I assume the dev took the updater out of his rom. You'll have to confirm with him.
I've been trying to get this update but my phone isn't getting it oh well

Nothing here yet either. But I am rooted with tons of mods. Not ready to lose everything over a silly OTA.

especially not, since you can get the benefits of the new radios, without accepting the whole update.
Will this for sure break root and would something like root keeper help at all?
I'm finally eligible for a contract upgrade device. If I were to buy a G2 today from Verizon, what are the odds it come with this update out of the box? I'd hate to buy a device I can't root and install custom ROMs on...
cant pull update??
so i am rooted but running stock.. anyone know why i cant pull the update??
Just flash the radio.. Its the only thing thats worth anything out of this update

I would say zero. I would imagine their stock is at least 1-2 months old. I have never bought a phone that didn't get an update the first day.

They usually release updates over a couple days for server reasons. I still haven't seen it either.

That was my feeling as well. I thought I would wait until the S5 or HTC One 2 came out to upgrade, but based on the previous versions rooting/unlocked bootloader on VZW are highly unlikely.
I was brave and tried the update. Stock ROM, just rooted for tethering purposes. I tried twice and received an error code both times. Then a message stating the update was unsuccessful upon reboot. Boo...
