here is a nandroid backup I made with all of the VZW and most of the LG stock apps removed to free up space. (ROM is rooted)
Directions:
1. Download file to SD Card
2. Unzip to External SDCard in /clockworkmod/backup/
3. reboot into CWM
4. go to backup and restore
5. select advanced restore
6. Then select the backup you just downloaded
7. select Restore system

Feel free to message me with any questions. I hope this will help people to get rid of the Bloatware the easiest and still remain stock.
Im assuming this requires being on zv8 in some form? Or can you flash it over zv7?
you have to be on ZV8 already
is the rom pre rooted? thanks in advance

yes ROM is still rooted
I was asking because I can't update to zv8 for some reason. Only way I've found so far at all is flashing the tot for it.

Flash which tot? I was under the impression that you can't get rooted zv8 by flashing the tot, only by doing the aio and doing the ota update.

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.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

This doesn't surprise me with my luck, but i followed instructions, went back to rooted v4, got rid of cwm. I was able to find the update and download it but when it booted down it got a little into the install process and gave me the yellow triangle with exclamation and booted back up normally only to see "update failed" ?????

Check in revotoolkit which recovery it has. It may not have the proper recovery.
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
Hello all, it's me again!!! I need someone to test a new method for root and install of clockwork to eliminate the need of revotoolkit and hopefully eliminate all of these problems of fastboot. I have run it on my phone and it appears to have worked, but I want to take a phone that is not rooted at all, and completely stock and test it on. Please let me know if you can help!!! Thanks!
Ps. This can then be written into a return to stock script for replacing with the stock recovery!!!!
Will flashing the .tot replace the CWM to stock? I'm pretty sure it does. I could make a backup right now, flash the .tot and try this if the .tot will replace CWM to stock

It rooted, installed CWM, and Revotoolkit successfully. No more errors in Revotoolkit, it knew which CWM version was installed.
Maybe change the filename so people don't mix them up with the other root methods? That's the only thing I could think of

Hopefully we can kill those fastboot bricks finally!
This is an All-in-One package to Root and install CWM Recovery or to UnRoot and install the stock recovery. I have spent many hours trying to modify this to be as easy as possible for all to accomplish their goals whether by modding or returning to stock.
What is This?
This is an exploit built by the Revolutionary team, that was ported to the Esteem by djrbliss, then I was able to fix permissions and install su and superuser. The exploit is not built by me, rather by the Revolutionary guys. This zip contains the proper drivers for the Revolution, all root files, and the Root&Recovery.bat file. The .bat has been modified to fix ANY of the problems people are having with root, and will make it so that CWM will stick through reboot. It installs the newest versions of the su binary and Superuser.apk. It will also install ClockWorkMod Recovery also (no need to run RevoToolkit anymore). The unroott will uninstall and delete the su binary and remove Superuser.apk. It will also remove CWM and install the stock ZV7 recovery.img. If there are any problems, just let me know.

Guys I'm trying to get back to 100% to get Gingerbread. I was able to get follow the steps from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326347
I got the stock ROM and recovery back, I was able to search and download the first update, but I cannot find the gingerbread update.
And I still have Root and none of the programs seem to work to unroot it, they always get stuck at psneuter or whatever.
I ran this program and it removed root but during the process it showed a lot of "Failed"s
Still cannot find the Gingerbread update under "about phone---->software update---->check new. Says no update available. Anyone help me out?

I can't get the root.bat to recognize the device, I have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled, but still am not able to see device ( I can see drives if I set to mass storage, so I know I am connected)
The Revo is brand new out of the box from VZW and froyo ver 2.2.2. Do I need to be on a different OS ver. to get this to work ?
Thanks in advance.

How do you downgrade to zv7?
Use LGPNST Method or however you spell it. Its in the development section and it includes all instructions for downgrading. Or you can wait of an all in one method to root VZ8 to come out.
If your new to this whole root thing, I'd wait because if you don't follow the downgrading instructions exactly, you could cause problems witb your phone.
