Hey guys
Would any of you happen to know where I can find a flashable Vs980 stock recovery? I want to run TWRP as well as the stock recovery so I can get the OTA Lollipop update over Verizon.
Update: Still have not found one so can somebody please link one?
I need the stock recovery for my flex. I lost root and recovery. Does anyone know where I can find one andow to install it if I get it?
I am on 4.4.2 ZVA
I'm on 4.4.2 ls995zvb I rooted with stump root but my phone is saying it isn't rooted, how can I go back to stock 4.4.2 and reroot and what should I use to reroot.. I don't wanna brick my phone as it's the only phone I have till my upgrade
The downgrade wont be necessary.
I inadvertently UNrooted my LS995 by allowing the ota from ZVA to ZVB. Got it rerooted with this:

Don't worry that it says for G3 and such...it worked for me fine. Just follow the directions that come with it.
You'll need custom recovery. TWRP 2.8.5.0 is latest recommended for this phone. Use Flashify from PlayStore to flash JUST THE .IMG FILE, NOT THE WHOLE ZIP.
These methods got my Flex back on track with being rooted with custom recovery, and updating to ZVB.
Hope it helps...
Peace,
Sox
So that didnt work i need to go back to stock android how can i do this thankz in advance.

Just follow guide on the forum. Was exactly in the same boat few months back. Pick a ROM for vs980 and you are good to go
