Hey
Where is the software update actually stored on the device? (The 8/4/2011 for the LG Revolution).
Once updated, can yo install CWM? Can it be rooted?
Just hang out, it will not install through cwm. Thecubed is going to be working on it.

I actually wanted to tinker with the Software Update file and see whats inside. I wanted to know where Android downloads it to on the filesystem.
I'm sure TheCubed will figure it out with CWM

Go into settings-about phone-update status and download the update. Do not install and check in that folder.

If you already installed the update, is it too late?

Yes. I assume you don't have cwm if you updated?

What are you trying to find? You can adb pull whatever file you are wanting to check, then check it against the old file to see what has changed.

It possibly could install by changing it to a zip file but who knows what it would mess up. With recovery items in there it may mess up cwm, that is a little above me without doing more research into it.

He's right. Installing the update without removing some stuff from it first (like it's new boot.img and the "installrecovery.sh" script) would possibly softbrick your device.
Decrap2 will take a while to do since it's gonna take a lot of work to apply this update to my ROM (gotta flash back to stock and apply the OTA, then deodex and then remove bing all over again...)
i didn't have it installed on my phone when I updated the phone

I'm confused- do you have CWM installed? If so, there's no way you could have applied the update yet...

I have two revolution devices.
One was stock (as if I bought it from a VZW store), the other one was with CWM.
The CWM with Decrap on it. (giving lots of issues with the launcher such as missing icons, etc)
Stock is on the latest LG update.
CWM is on the OEM release

Just like the title says, I flashed the stock nandroid backup and downloaded the update but once it finished nothing happened. I tried starting the download over but now it tells me there is no new update available. Guess I'll just wait til MT pushes out a decrapped GB as a CWM flashable

Not trying to sound like an a$$ but are u sure it didn't update? Cause it looks pretty much the same
No reboot after download, android version still shows 2.2.2

From what I've read you have to update from v4 to v6 before u can get gb
If u have clockwork, you won't be able to update, as far as I'm aware.

Assuming you are on a stock rooted zv4 as you said. Revo toolkit. Install stock recovery. Then check for update. Will bring you to zv6. Then check for update again for gb. Make sure you have plenty of batteries. I did this in the bar the other night and I went from 78 to like 43%

Downgraded to v4 then upgraded to v6
I assumed that by upgrading to v6 I would lose clockwork and root.
I did think that I would then be able to get the GB update, but when I use the check for new software nothing........

If you don't have BusyBox installed in the correct directory, the REVOTOOLKIT will not work properly. If you left the default of system\xbin, you will need to re-run the busybox installer and choose system\bin this time.
RevoToolKit should work properly after that to put the stock boot image back in place.
I tried flashing to v6 couldn't download the update then I tried flashing to v4 still couldn't grt the update. I'm waiting for the tot flash file for GB cause you have to have GB to use gb roms I think

I did the same thing and mine went through. After i installed stock recovery in revotoolkit i uninstalled revotoolkit. The i did the LGNPST
I dont know if this helps or not but thats how i got it to go thru
Does anyone have it? I upgraded to Gingerbread, rooted, thought I made a backup of my current Stock Root, then installed the Gingervolt Rom. I like it, but I want to start doing my own customization of the Revo. So does anyone have the zv7 stock root? Or are there any other ideas as to what I could do, all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have a stock root backup
For gingerbread? Could I please have it?

I really need the file as well. If there is any way I could get it from you I would be eternally grateful.
Here is the easiest way to return to stock Gingerbread from GingerVolt or GingerHome. This is the stock system and boot.img.
What is this?
This is the ZV7 stock system and boot.img. It is completely bloated and odexed.

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 RevoZV7GBStock.zip
6.) Reboot

How do I completely return to stock?
1.) Follow the six steps above

3.) Click unroot.bat
4.) You are now completely stock!!!

for future, possibly lazy reference, should the stock GB recovery (that only I apparently copied, and God knows if it works...) be added to this list... ?

I had gotten one from adrenaline also and is included when running the unroot.bat. Didn't know how well cwm would feel about being replaced while running lol.

Are you saying that you can get into CWM? If so, once there, run LGNPST and install the desired TOT file. I tested that method the other night and LGNPST will run/update/instal, etc. the TOT while in CWM. I was in the main menu, if that should be any question and make any difference. All went fine.
In other words, you don't need to be booted into your phone to run LGNPST, just in the clockwork recovery.
Hope this works/helps.

Do this have the same effect as using LGNST to push the v7 tot file?
SuperCharged GingerVolt B-) R U?
cwm or stock recovery
If I flash the this rom will it keep CWM or do I have to manually install the stock recovery?

I think the last deodexed stock ROM we had was Revolt 1.5 or CleanRom something or other back before they rolled out the gingerbread update and thecubed was running things here...man that seems like forever ago, its def been a while. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
