My GF bought the Revolution when it first came out. Shortly after, I rooted it and installed CWM so she could use the wireless tether app. Some time later, her phone wanted to update but I saw there wasn't a root yet, so I renamed the libdme_main.so file to block the update.
So now I want to update her phone to Gingerbread, but I've hit a brick wall at every turn.
I tried doing a system update through the About Phone, but I get a message every time that the update failed.
I tried just flashing a Gingerbread ROM through CWM. It would work, but then I couldn't activate the phone and it would reboot every couple of minutes.
I used RevoToolKit to put the stock recovery back on and then try again for the system update, but it still fails.
I've tried to use the LGAllInOnePkg to unroot her phone, but it doesn't work. It reboots and says done, but SU is still on there and working.
Any help? I'm out of ideas and very frustrated. Thanks!
So you tried to flash Gingervolt while still on revolt?
That's a big mistake as it'll screw up your phone
Do you have a cwm backup that you can flash back to?
Do you have LGNST installed to you pc/mac?
Try to flash the v7 tot with LGNST to upgrade to gingerbread that'll return your phone to complete stock

No, I was just on the stock froyo ROM. I already restored back to that ROM. Can't find a way to get to Gingerbread. I'll look into that LGNST thing tomorrow. I'm not familiar with it. Thanks.
Here's the link to what you'll need
Follow it step by step and reboot pc/mac when you install new drivers or when its prompt

Don't disconnect the phone until it's complete
It'll take about 15mins
You can also do it when you're in cwm just make sure the phone is set with debug on and internet connection
Good luck

Not only was I able to update her phone to Gingerbread, but it didn't even wipe her apps or settings in the process. I told her she'd have to set her phone back up. She's going to be so happy. And now we can Voice Chat with each other. The future is now!
Thanks again. You really saved my bacon!

I am running DarchDroid 2.8 (AOSP 2.1 based) and decided to give his 2.2 CM6 build a shot. Did a NAND backup, wiped, and flashed CM6 on. Worked fine, but didn't feel like going through the process of "reconfiguring" everything to get it just how I liked it again just at the moment, so restored back to 2.1 (wiped in between) and now my root/SU Permissions app isn't working at all - tethering won't start, etc.
I tried re-running Unrevoked again from the shell, but that gives me an error:
Code:
chmod: /data/DxDrm/unrevoked.1327: No such file or directory
/sdcard/unrevoked: /data/DxDrm/unrevoked.1327: not found
rm: can't remove '/data/DxDrm/unrevoked.1327': No such file or directory
Any suggestions!?!?
Thanks!
Is USB debugging checked in Settings->Applications->Development? That could be it.
Did you flash nfinitefx45's stock 2.1 ROM? Or just go back to Darchdroid?

Debugging is off, and I just wiped then did NAND restore to the backup I made right before doing the 2.2 flash.

Debugging needs to be ON for superuser permissions to work. I think for wifi-tether too since it has to call root permissions.
OK, I restored a backup of CM6 to see if root worked in it and it does. I noticed that it looks to be a new version of the SU Permissions app, so maybe that has something to do with it... in any case, I suppose I will just suck up the time to reconfigure my phone to use 2.2, it seems faster and the only bugs that I see mentioned are small enough they shouldn't be a problem, as long as I can get my Exchange calendar syncing working like it did under DarchDroid 2.8...
Unless someone has a solution?

Oh, upgrade to the 2.3 Superuser app. It's available on the Market. Or you could probably search around the forum and downgrade to SU 2.1 if you wish. I think that's what I'm using right now and I don't have any problems with it.
Sorry, forgot about that til you mentioned your version -- SU 2.2.2 did have some issues.
Hm, I can give it a try... but it's pretty much always OFF, I thought, and wifi tether/SU always worked fine. Thanks for the help!!!
That's what I was thinking after I saw the new SU app was different in 2.2 - Not sure why it would affect my SU app in 2.1, but I'll give it a try and see how it goes.
I'm sure I will upgrade to CM2.2 but I'll wait for another few builds and I have an afternoon to mess with it.
Thanks again!
Who wants to post a NAND backup of stock GB without any apps installed other than SU. With root would be amazing.
I second that... Im a little nervous about rooting GB on my Mac. I can run a virtual Windows XP but I had issues when trying to root Froyo.

I don't don't feel like setting everything back to stock updating to V6 with that SKFAH (something or other) Verizon program and then getting the GB update, rerooting, then having to get all my apps back just to wipe them again when the next ROM comes out.. lol. I want to throw stock GB on test it out browse around and then come back to where I am lol Thanks in advance to whoever does this
Can some one help me? I have the original LG Revolution, got it the week after it first came out. I have Revolt 1.5 on it. I need to know how to get it from that point to GB, in "spoon feed me" talk. I know I need to unroot, I rooted with the superoneclick, can I unroot with thecube's Revotoolkit? What do I need to do? Please and thank you. Also, I don't have any of the original goodies, so I will need to rely on other forum posts to get me all that crap too. Also, if I go to the GB and want to root, will I have to use the ADB method?
I Spent about 18 ************* hours on this. The good news is, if my stupid ass can do it, ANYBODY can lol. The thread about losing root, and accidentally upgrading to v6 has all the info needed, I promise. And it should only take about an hour or so.

you have to install the LGNST 1st if you don't have it
here's the link to all the files you need to install LGNST just follow it step by step
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211295
i don't think you need to download the vz4 tot file anymore since there's a root for the vz6 already
so you'll just need to run LGNST and load the vz6 tot to your revo, you don't need to unroot or uninstall cwm since once you loaded the vz6 it'll remove both at the same time. this process takes about 15mins
i recommend not to disconnect the phone until your revo have complete rebooted and the LGNST says complete
then all you have to do is update to vz7 GB on the revo software update
here's the link to get the vz7 GB rooted just follow the instructions and you'll be fine and this root can help root the vz6 also
http://androidnerds.net/2011/10/08/lg-esteem-oneclickroot-now-ready/
if the LG esteem don't work use the drivers provided on the link. rooting vz7 GB takes 1-3min
Those ways work my way worked as well. I just restored to the stock Revo from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129117
I then wiped /data in cwm. I tried to boot into that restore without doing it and I black screened. That restore doesn't have the /data stuff so something funky happens and booting didn't work for me. I wiped /data and everything was ok. After I booted up I installed Revo Toolkit from >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144951
Once I had that installed I went and changed back to the stock recovery.
With the stock recovery in place I then went into setting and pulled the V6 update to my phone. That came through fine for me (this is where a lot of people had problems). After that rebooted and installed I pulled the GB update to my phone the same way. That installed fine and rebooted. Only issue I am having now is getting my phone to root again so I can test out MT's new ROM for him which is what started this whole mess when I tried to flash to it from Revolt.
Hope my ranting helps

I did the first week I had my phone...Is this going to have a negative effect on trying to get v6/v7 updates?
I'm having the same issue. I'm on v4 and I'm not getting v6.
As simple as possible, here's my situation: Two days ago I rooted my LG Revolution, which was running 2.3.4 before I rooted it. Everything went well!!!
Few hours later, i was tethering, then as I came back to my phone I saw it had restarted and that Verizon had sent out an OTA update (which I selected CANCEL to, btw). My phone restarted again and I lost root, plus my phone went to 2.3.6.
I tried to reroot again on 2.3.6, but the oneclickroot batch file didn't root it this time (permissions were denied when trying to push files and use the chmod 777 command). I later tried the manual process, but still not luck.
PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP!!! I WANT ROOT ACCESS TO TETHER (WIRELESS) FOR MY NEW IPAD.
This is being discussed all over the Development forum and this one. This newest update has not bee rooted yet.
Short answer you can't re-root yet.
Wow, do you know if I can backup to 2.3.4
Download the .TOTS. Just go back to v7 gingerbread and reroot. Put cwm on even if you don't need it. It will prevent your phone from updating because it's not the stock bootloader.

Thanks, finally got it to work. I did a serious, hardcore internet search and found that i needed to turn down my user account settings, which was preventing my 64 bit machine from installing any harmful software. Wow, that was crazy. Anyway, i'm looking for some cool roms and themes to go with my rooted and CW LG Rev, now.
Any suggestions?
MT just released a one click root method for ZV8 so the process should be very easy going forward. it does require being on ZV7 though....if you have already upgraded to unrooted ZV8 you have to downgrade back to ZV7 to get root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566729
Currently there are no ROMs (or themes I believe) for ZV8...MT should have a GV update ready pretty soon though!
So right now if you want to use a custom ROM you have to downgrade back to rooted ZV7.

I'm actually running ZV7. I had to donwgrade from 2.3.6 (due to an OTA), so now i'm running 2.3.4 again (which, i believe, is ZV7, correct?). I'm looking for something really cool, and sleek, like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990233&page=1083
to make matters worse....
Don't want to be the bearer of bad news here but I in fact have cwm and gingervoltrom 2.0. whiel the update did not succeed it has been causing my phone to go freaking haywire. I'm not sure why our what's up. I can't even prove that's it's not a issue with 2.0 since that I also recently updated to. I used can that I had way before the Verizon update to install this though.
Complete LGNPST Package and tot files
Currently there is no direct way to regain root in ZV8, however in this post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566729 ), the excellent mtmichaelson shows us a way into a kind of workaround for those who MUST regain root under ZV8. It involves flashing back to ZV7 first and sometimes finding all of the necessary files to do the flashing can be a chore. That's why I put them all together in one file for anyone who wants to download and try mtmichaelson's workaround. I AM NOT responsible for anyone bricking their Revo, so use this at your own risk. Here is the torrent file :

Well i got my wifes permission to use her upgrade, so i got the SGS3. It's an awesome phone but that's beside the point.
I'm trying to flash the revo back to stock because she is going to use it until my upgrade in February. The problem is that Verizon took the sim out because they're not transferable, or so they say. So i went to wipe data and cache, then booted the phone and all it would let me do is make an emergency call. So currently i'm restoring an old backup in hopes that it works so i can get it connected to lgnpst and flash zv7. If anyone's got advice it's appreciated.
something similar happened to me.
my gf's Revo got stuck in a boot loop. so in the meantime of trying to fix it, i activated an old Droid 1 in place of the phone. once i got the Revo running again, i had it upgraded to V8 from using LGNPST, but Verizon couldn't activate it no matter what they tried. i ended having to revert the phone back to V4, had them activate it, then upgrade it. unless i had super bad luck with this case. hope you don't have as much of a hassle as i did.
Well it worked, ahaha. It's flashing zv7 now. I thought it was kind of funny though.
And it got an error code and stopped... That sucks.
Got back into recovery and am restoring again. lol
See, told you it would be interesting.

Why v7? Why not v8 so you can update to 9?
I guess i'm assuming it will do OTA's from v7 to v8 and v9?? It's not staying rooted for her, she has no need for it.
It's been trying to do an OTA for weeks and weeks, and hasn't been able to.
Regardless i'm getting multiple errors now, so i don't know what's going on. I restored and it won't communicate with the phone now.
I'm wondering if it has to have a sim to go through the full flash. Just had another failure but i can get back to recovery to restore.
Does anyone know if that's true???
It cannot update from v7 to v9. You have to flash it to v8 then update it to v9. They will not push you v8 then v9. You need to get the TOT for 8 or 9 and flash directly.
Well that's good to know, thanks. Wife got the phone activated and i data wiped it and it works fine for now. She wants it back to stock though so i'll flash v8.
