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.
so i have been hearing some great things on the bionic data fixes with the .901 update i have read the original op but honestly i am a bit confused hoping someone can help me out here... someone says it does not void warrenty by going to that one how is that possible if root is required to do this??? so how would i go about getting this updated .. i previously came from a charge and before that a epic so odin was my best friend and everything was very simple as far as rooting flashing roms and if i messed it up odin was there to help me out so hoping someone will help me in the right directinon and i am up to date on the most recent update the "data fix" if that is what you want to call it!!!
.901 was pushed as an OTA to a limited number of people. Someone copied it and uploaded it to the board. Meaning Big Red and Moto have to support it since it was pushed out, even though it was an accident. I'm not sure if you have to be rooted to sideload it or not. I was already rooted. Turned my phone into everything it was originally supposed to be. No data drops, and a constant 4G signal for me. It almost doubled my battery since it doesn't waste power searching for 4G.
OK cool I wish I could find a way to get it without root don't want to root yet

you do not need to be rooted to install it, you can install it from the factory recovery and run stock .901 unrooted.
I may be a noob but what exactly is the point of this. I keep both update.zip's on my sd card(893,901). I just tried this. Im on stock 5.5.886 rooted. booted in stock recovery and applied both updates. Now im on .901 and still rooted. I didnt get the cdt.bin error or anything. What is BIONICPATHSAVER supposed to do?
From my understanding, its an extra string of security that keeps root open. I did the same thing and it worked. But my first attempt wasnt soo lucky. I ended up bricking my bionic. No worries though, i used my motorola limited warranty. Now i just have my verizon warranty left

The point of this tool is to save your ass.
it can be and should be used to go from a pre 901 rom to a 901 rom as well as helping you unbrick your phone.
I needed it to go from liberty 2.0 to eclipse 2.1
Primarily its for people who got off the update path via cheesecake updates. It returns you to the upgrade path so that you can once again receive the OTA updates. Atleast thats my understand of it.
you will need it if you ever want to go back down to 5.5.893.
It was created for people that loaded 5.7.893 or 5.5.894 that were off the update path. If they release ICS for 5.5.893 and not for 5.5.901 at the same time, you may want to go back to get ICS.
Many non Noobies seem to be running across the same problems with rooting ZV8 updates. The answers are spread across three different threads so it seemed worth putting them all in one place up front.
First, big thanks MT for putting all this up so quickly.
If you are still on ZV7, first try
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566729
However, I and many others have not been able to get an over the air update (step 6) to succeed and/or get a lot of permission denied errors in the All in One batch processes. If you can't get an OTA update to succeed first try

Use root explorer to create /data/local.prop and type ro.kernel.qemu=1 then save it.
If the OTA update works, you're good, continue with MT's instructions, but SKIP OPTION 1 "Prepare for Update"
If, like me and many others you still can't get an OTA update to succeed Alternative 2 is the LGPST method here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466655
Again, the key is to not loose Clockwork Recovery. As long as you have done the create local.prop step and not done the All in One Option 1 "Prepare for Update" The LGPST ZV8 push will not erase Clockwork Recovery. Then you have ZV8 with Clockwork Recovery and you can get MT"s Broken Out v 1.1 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577423
Or get back to a nandroid backup or rooted ZV7 to start over
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348637
If you loose Clockwork Recovery or otherwise run into trouble, the sure fire way to get back on track is to go back to ZV7 and start over. Personally, reading through all the forums and despite several attempts, I was never able to get an All in One batch process to root ZV8, always permissions denied. But I was just trying to ZV8 with Clockwork Recovery to get to Broken Out anyway.
UPDATE 4/3/12
Another option for regaining CWM if you use LGPST

MT is looking for ZV7 testers for an easy update

I'm more than a Noob, but far from an expert, so if this contains errors or doesn't deserve it's own thread, feel free to suggest removal!

Appears that you DO lose CWM with LGNPST. I just tried your method and I no longer had CWM. Maybe you missed a step in the OP? Otherwise, I lost CWM when I pushed ZV8 TOT. Also, just so you know, I did check/test CWM just prior to pushing and it worked just fine.

EDIT: I wanted to clarify and emphasize "Appears" in my reply above. Your method may work perfectly fine, but I had nothing but troubles getting things to work...
is this a bad place to ask how im supposed to go back to zv7? i dont have cwm anymore....

That is the same problem I had. Try the copy local.prop option described above and bypassing the prepare for update.
better yet, contact MT, he is working on an easy solution and needs ZV7 testers

what if I am on zv6 still?
Son's Revo asked bout v8 OTA today. Didn't want to do it as I figured it would lose root. Currently we are on v6 and rooted (via AIO). Never went to v7, and now with v8 am trying to figure out how to get to v8 and keep root.
Do I need to get to v7 first prior to trying to get to v8 while keeping root or is there a way to go directly to v8 while maintaining root?
I posted in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25188375#post25188375 about trying to get to stock v7 not working for some reason so won't go into that here, but thought I would ask about a way to get to v8 with root WITHOUT having to go to v7 first.
I have a solid nandroid (which I just had to use to get a working phone again) I can use so don't mind testing things.
Thanks for any ideas...
***EDIT***
I went ahead and went to stock v7, rooted, and followed the v7 to v8 (save root) process MT created and all is well.
I am currently on a rooted version of ZV7 and I lost my backup somehow, so I was wondering how to i return to non rooted ZV7. I basically just want to start fresh like when i got the phone for the first time. and then reroot and then i plan on doing the method for keeping root with the ZV8 update.
You can use MT's all in one tool to un root and then re root if you want.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348557 There is also a way to root the ZV8 software now so if you want you can un root upgrade to ZV8 then re root with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621625

So anyone able to help me with this. Can I use RSDlite ? that's how I would revert back to bone, stock, first day out of the box, with my Droid 2 Global and my Droid X, but I wasn't sure if that was just for Motorola phone or if it works for any brand of phone. If I can use RSDlite, then can someone hook me up with the proper SBF file I need in order to revert back to stock ZV7 LG ROM/OS (I was never sure if just the custom one were called ROMs, or if even the stock version of Android that comes on a phone is considered a ROM too, I just always figured it was just called the Stock < insert phone brand-name here> ROM lol
Oh and on a side note, once I do revert back to Stock ZV7, is the ZV8 update gonna automatically just start downloading, or will it give me the option to do so. Right now when it pops up, it gives me the option to start the download, or in 30seconds if i don't decide it will automatically start downloading. Is that gonna be the same way it works when i am back to stock ZV7 ?
RSD Lite is the Moto side of the house, we use on our side is a tool called LGNPST and files that end in .TOT.....

where threevolve was kind enough to host the files for us (link for the site is on the page) and is where I downloaded VS910ZV7.tot and VS910ZV8.tot
As far as the update starting to re-download it most likely will but if you end up rooting your phone after you TOT back to the ver. you want you can always freeze the software update.apk (plz if someone knows a different and/or way post the link or correct me)
