So I got a lg revolution off of craigslist. The phone says its in test mode, and has the lg hidden menu enabled. I can not mount it to the computer because of this. It also charges slow as crap, like really slow. The phone on Verizons end is seen as a non verizon device for some reason. Called lg and they said I need to send it in and they will fix it for 40 to 100 dollars. Anyone have any idea how to get it out of test mode. Please help.

How do I flash a TOT when it won't mount to the computer, it says can not switch to usb mode in test mode. So it won't pop up on the computer. Fastory reset does nothing, I have tried it. If you can tell me how to flash without connecting it to a computer.
Is the phone rooted

No it is not rooted. I have root explorer, and I looked at the system files and I can see CDGHiddenmenu.apk I am not rooted. The hiddenmenu is blocking me from connecting it to my computer. So is there a way to root without computer and should I delete that apk?

Try powering it off, press and hold volume up (not down like recovery), press and hold the power button. Continue to hold both and hopefully it will enter download mode. Once there make sure you have proper drivers installed, and try to push zv7 with lgnspt.

I took the battery out like My samsung phones and it says its in download mode. However lgnspt doesn't see it. I do have the lg android driver installed. Do I need another. Do you have google talk or something were we can chat back in forth this is the most progress I've made.

so i used this method on my US 4g model... and it worked with exception of the backspace button ( <- arrow button) not working.. even asked and recognized a simple mobile sim then asked for a network unlock
but i would like to upgrade to HC... and the wifi updates do not come to the 4G models...
so im going to try install CWM from market and try the "Official-HC-Stage1" and "Official-HC-Stage2" zips and see how this works out
well, the install seems fine so far.. just experiencing the crashing of the android.process.acore issue
Hi there
multiupload is down. Could someone PLZ post the wifi only files as i have (wasn't even drunk!) flashed t-mobile version and am now very pissed
Here is the easiest way to return to stock from Revolt or Rehomed. This is the stock system and boot.imgs. You can do it all from your phone, and you do NOT need to unroot.
What is this?
This is the ZV4 stock system and boot.img. I bascially disassembled the stock rooted system.img posted by thecubed and made it into a cwm zip.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How do I install this?
1.) Download the .zip & make sure 4g is enabled.
2.) Place zip in external sdcard
3.) I recommend to wipe data to prevent any problems
4.) Go to install zip from sdcard
5.) Select StockRootedZV4.zip
6.) Reboot
7.) Install RevoToolKit
8.) Follow instructions of replacing cwm with stock recovery
9.) After stock recovery you can check for updates!!!

Very Excited. This should make life much easier, with fewer steps. Thanks MT. All your "overtime" you are putting into this is very much appreciated.
So, say someone wasn't in 4G mode when they reflashed to stock, and did /data wipe.. and now gets "your phone needs a SIM card to activate" when back at the "select your language", etc...
I assume this is because I wasn't in 4G mode, but not sure. Any number of reboots with SIM card/battery pull/reseats or return to revolt {pick a version} roms doesn't help. I have no boot loops or freezes, just can't get past activation to do anything (other than make an "emergency call")
Would flashing with LGNPST back to the .tot file potentially get me to a better spot or is it time to visit my friends at Verizon?
Thanks mt. I will be flashing this soon. Downloading directly to the phone onto the sim card. Hopefully I can get GB and gingervolt later today!!
I've Revolted have you?? Sent via tapatalk plugin.
Sucks for me I guess. Still says there are no updates for my phone.

Try restoring a back up rather than flashing a zip and see if that works.

A picture of the output you're getting in the root.bat window would probably be helpful here. Unless the not extracting thang is the problem.

If it took, you should have superuser in your apps drawer.
You can download titanium back up if you are unsure, it needs root to run, and will ask for permission to do so.
Otherwise you can get root checker basic.
After that, if you wish to get rid of all the phone companies goodies, feel free to look in the development section, there are a couple roms. I like Gingervolt. I do believe you start with gingervolt 1.0 and then 1.1, then 1.2 then 1.3 with out removing anything from the previous builds. I know some glitches have been reported in the later versions, but MT is always around to help and we are always here to answer questions.
I have to send my Revo back to verizon and was wondering what the steps were that I need to follow in order for Verizon to not charge me for my replacement. Any help would be appreciated.

make sure your in usb debuging mode and plug into computer (win7 64 bit is ok) then select internet connection mode
Run lg1click/install drivers and option 5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1348557
reboot and go to settings/aboutphone/softwareupdate/checknow and update phone
When finished rebooting run super 1 click and click root http://shortfuse.org/?page_id=2
when finished with that open Titanium backup or install trial from market when opened it prompts to fix SU access just tell it ok and reboot
