Do I just download the Z7 .tot file to the SD and flash as a normal rom?
No. Read my forum in development. There's inscructions in how to flash the tot

Got it. I downloaded Z7 stock rom and then was gunna allow the update to install automatically, I guess I should have downloaded the Z8 rom to save some time?
oh well..
Alright, made it back to Z7 and did the OTA update to Z8..
now how do I root and get CWM again?? That ALLINONE executer does not work.

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

Alright I am stock and unrooted, ready to test when you are
Sending you a pm with the link! Thanks!!!
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

Awesome! I am going to remove revotoolkit and make an all-in-one download tonight that will include the root and unroot files. That way to root it is one click and to put to stock is one click. Thanks for testing this out for me!

You're going to want to go back to stock using the pathsaver method before doing the update.
Plenty of topics on this.
I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433783 and it worked great.
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?

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.

So I have a refurbished Revolution that came with zv8 already installed. Is there a way to get it rooted and flash Broken Out 1.1?

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.

Not sure which version it is V9? But I have been delaying it and delaying it for a few weeks and its starting to bug me. Is there a way to keep root through this yet? same as MT had for V8 using the verizon manual .tot program?
Check this thread. I have been avoiding the update as well, but it seems to have gotten more "insistent" of late.
I am downgrading using LNGPST, updating and then I plan to use this technique for root. Don't think you will end up with CWM, but I am not certain that I fully enjoy the value of CWM. Maybe I am just too new.

Hey guys, my phone keeps downloading that stupid update and then failing to install it, whats the proper way to get around this either to block it or to upgrade and keep root?
thanks!
To stop the update freeze the software updater. It may break blue tooth.
And everything for v8 works for v9. All aio's

So I need to...
1. install stock rom
2. Unroot
3. Do the verizon OTA to Z9
4. Reroot
5. CWM?
You can go this route.

After I used the tot I did a factory reset and then went to using the Easy Aio for v8 v9.

If you have cwm installed the ota will fail everytime. easiest method is to flash the v9 tot, then root, then cwm, then flash BO2.0. the issues come when ppl try to install cwm, ie install not taking. if that occurs, let me know and I can direct you on how to install cwm from the phone using terminal emulator.
the stock rom is not as efficient as BO. Plus no OC'ing and not as much tweaking. Most tweaks won't work OOB. Our stock rom doesn't have boot script support (init.d support) all scripts will need to be manually run at boot. battery life is different and tons of bloatware.

kk. My question was in order to flash the v9 tot do I need to unroot and install the stock v8 rom first? Or can the v9 tot be installed while rooted and using MT's ROM?
Yes. You can flash a tot over anything.
You will lose root and cwm.
