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.

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.
Am I missing something? do I need to unroot? etc

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

It was a good day to have 2 4G LTE devices.. was able to use SIM from Xoom and get through activation and download of V6. Then switched back to Revo SIM and all worked fine..GB/V7 is downloading as we speak and I seem to be back in business. Back on track to get to GingerVolt at some point later today Thanks!

Install RevoToolKit and then install the stock "recovery" with it. That will get rid of cwm.

so my steps to get to ginervolt are
install the rootedzv4, remove CWR let the phone update all the way to GB

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.

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.

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 am trying to root my stock revo V7 2.3.4. I am not able to get through to it. I am not familiar with rooting but want to get more out of this phone. Anyone have any suggestions?
More information is needed what have you tried?
Also this shouldn't have been a new thread and shouldn't have been in this section.

Thanks for getting me in the right area guys. Sorry, wasn't trying to cause any problems.
I have tried the one click version with mt and it never took. Mt even tried doing it for me. I have enabled debugging and dollars each step to the last detail.
I have also tried superoneclick with no success on the install. I'm unaware of how to do it manually.

Have you tried a different computer? Even doing it the manual way will require the same exploit, and more than likely will result in the same outcome.

What method of root did you use? And check your app drawer for revo tool kit then you need to download the clockwork mod recovery check what recovery you have if it isn't the 4.0.0.2-pr1 then you need to click on to install that if it didn't go through the first time keep trying but do not reboot after it says it successfully installed hit the menu soft key And reboot in to recovery once you are in there make a back up by going to the backup And restore part And choose back up after you should wipe your data by going to format system INSIDE CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY not from inside your phone settings for gingervolt you need to put the zip on your external sd card so that means not the one that says internal place it on the root ( main portion) not in folder then reboot into recovery (if you had to boot to put ginger volt on your sd) the same way as before then go to install zip from sd card choose the gingervolt zip nitty the install update.zip option select yes let it install then reboot.. Also in clockwork recovery you use to volume keys to navigate up And down And the power button to select

If you rooted with mts all in one click that has cwm sticking just go into it manually. I always download everything to the phone directly makes it easier for me.

Best way to check you have cwm download revotool kit and check that way. If it says you have it then you can reboot from revo toolkit.

if you are already rooted, install Titanium Backup or Ultimate Backup or ROM Toolbox from the market they are all useful tools to back up all of your apps. Then wipe data, flash Gingervolt, then use backup program to restore your apps..

You do not have to wipe data, it is an option if you want a clean start. I would run your phone as it is for a couple Weeks and if it acts up, then consider a data wipe when other options have been used.
