[Q] Software update issue - LG Revolution

Last night I checked for software updates for my Revolution and saw there was one to update to VS910ZV7 but after I download the update it boots to the Clockworkmod screen. I've tried to apply update from SD but there is no file in there. I try to reboot and it tells me that the update failed or imcomplete. I have rooted the phone and still have the stock rom, V6. Am I doing something wrong? Do I even need this update?
I'm new to this forum and this is my first post so please be gentle lol.

V7 updates you to gingerbread if you want the update you have to put stock recovery back on the phone.

Thanks for the info. I'm assuming if we get ICS I would need to do the same.

Correct.
Here you can flash the update directly using these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337386
Or you can flash a stock rom and do an OTA update.
I couldn't wait so I flashed the TOT immediately. Gingerbread makes the Revolution better. I'm curious to see ICS on it.

Appreciate the help. I was hoping there was a way to do it directly from the phone but doesn't look like I can. I'll give it a try when I get home.
Just curious though. Can I update it from the LG website? If not that's cool too.

You can do it all on your phone download the revo toolkit put stock recovery back on your phone then you can pull the update and install it

If your super user updated in the market then you will need to update the su binary.

download the su update fixer app from the market. Worked great for me!
Join the revolt!
Everything still works don't need a fix was just wondering why I needed to update binary when I didn't update su but I did update just didn't know it.
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
This occurred after SuperUser app was automatically updated to newest version with the green icon. After running update it said something like access was r/o. But then powered down, restarted and attempted update again and said newest binaries were already installed. Ran WiFi Tether and went through all the permissions and was back to normal.

Unroot?

I rooted the LG revolution but now I need to return the phone for a new one due to the phone getting static but only when it wonts to. So I jus want to kno if they can check if it has root?

The easiest first step would be to hope you made a backup of when you first installed clockwork... if not, how long of a window before you have to send it back?

Flashing the tot file does not actually take it back to stock. When I went from Revolt to GB, I removed CWM then flashed the V6 tot. ALL of my data was still there, apps and all. It might take all the OS parts back, but it doesn't do any type of data wipe.

Well...I am not the creator of it, so I am not certain, but I don't think so. I had an issue once and went to that cuz it had something gingervolt didn't, but I had to get rid of it because you can't set up your phone with it...google accounts and what not, but I was able to reflash gingervolt.

Clockwork mod reboot

Hi all. I got a Revolution and every time I reboot it. It goes straight to clockworkmod and my stock rom wasnt backed up. I just want the phone to work again. Rooted are not. Everytime I try to flash a rom it says. "Installation aborted"
(Bad)
Any help. Super nervous that my phone is screwed until someone has an idea on what's wrong?

I'd first try to download a different rom, maybe an older version of one.. or even try to redownload the version you have.. possibly just a bad file, I have seen that happen

Are you downloading these ROMs on your PC or your phone? Also, what ROM are you downloading?
Did you do wipe data/ factory reset in the "settings menu" on the phone? If you did then that's your cause. Look around in the dev section here and find the "stuck in clockwork" thread.

Download the Revo One Click root package again and see if you can run it from your computer while in recovery. Not sure it will work but if all else fails you can run LGNPST on your computer from recovery.

Uninstall all drivers from the PC and go to LGs website and download the drivers from there. That seemed to fix my issues.

Did you do super one click or mt's root tool? Could you go and try the one you didn't try.
I'd (if) memory serves me right, cubed did a thread about being stuck in cwm. It should be in the development section. Just know I am not a pro, and if your phone is jacked up there is always a way out, that is the beauty of our phone it's fool proof.

From BO v1.0, I recall you should either restore a saved nandroid back to stock ZV8 so you can OTA to ZV9. Or you could wipe everything and LGPNST straight to the ZV9 TOT. After that, use an All-in-One to root and CWM. Then flash BO V2.0.

I just got a new Revo due to an extended warranty replacement, so I have to send back my phone with the stock software on it. Video was bouncy and people I called could barely hear me. I will flash the tot this weekend. Thanks again!
