Vinod Nayak 443 Report post Posted March 27, 2014 RUIM does not require APN, APN is only for GSM. If your 1x is working on new RUIM SIM, then you don't have to worry as EVDO takes 24 hours to transfer from your old SIM to new one.

st_7 138 Report post Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) LG G2(Sprint) KitKat Update Finally Released: Finally Lg G2(Sprint) Kitkat update is released, here is the direct link to the official OTA: LG G2 Sprint KitKat OTA Presently, a modified OTA file is being worked on by the developers over XDA. Stay tuned, will update this post. But if you want to apply the official OTA now itself, below is outline of the instructionso of doing it. I'm quoting from XDA. You need to push the update ZIP multiple times to the phone using ADB sideload. After the first time, the recovery will boot back up, at this point, do NOT reboot into the system, instead go back and select the Apply update from ADB option, the update file will open again and then the recovery will boot back up a second time, again push the update via ADB and then finally you'll see at the third stage, text saying after the "installing update" stage, "Removing unnecessary files..." and then "Patching system files..." then "Unpacking new files..." "Unpacking new recovery..." "Renaming files..." "Symlinks and permissions..." "Patching remaining system files..." then the text reads "script succeeded: result was [/system]" then finally "install from ADB complete." then select "Reboot system now." You now have ZVC KitKat installed!!!The bootloop must be caused by the missing update ZIP, the recovery is trying to find the ZIP but it's not stored internally on the phone itself.

Vinod Nayak 443 Report post Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) All those who have stock ROM, with stock recovery on ZV8 & have not updated & have unlocked GSM & have renamed certain files in system/app/ HAVE TO RENAME THE APPS BACK TO ORIGINAL STATE, take ZVA update so that you can update to Kit Kat 4.4.2 ZVC. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51531011 For those of you who want to take the OTA as-is, be aware you will reboot 3 times in the process. Here's how the OTA works: Stage 1 * Patch check (everything as it should be?) * Apply Radio Patch * Flash Recovery to Boot partition * Set stage value to 2 * Boot to Boot partition Stage 2 * Flash recovery to recovery partition * Set stage value to 3 * Boot to recovery partition Stage 3 * Flash new kernel (boot.img) * Apply Patches, new files, symlinks, permissions, etc. * Update build.prop * Set stage value to blank * End (automatic reboot).

joshm 818 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 Hey all wanted to ask about the battery backup if this phone, both on gsm and cdma, I am aware it's subjective but still would appreciate if a few folks can add their reviews if they are using GSM or Cdma. My yardstick would be how it performs with the note 2 in pictures Thanks Sent from my SCH-R950 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
varunpatel 31 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Hi Joshm, I am getting Full Two days of battery backup with both GSM & CDMA with 3G/EVDO enabled or Wifi enabled all the time.My usage is medium about 90 minutes calling daily and some texting. I am not a very heavy data user on the phone. Only use it to check emails. Sometimes if I disable data, I get about 3 days of battery backup.

Vinod Nayak 443 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 Be very careful with the KK OTA, i have backed up my data and used LG Flashtool to go ZV7-ZV8-ZVA now, waited for next OTA but did not get it yet. Sometimes it comes fast like the way @ankurcshah got it. WAIT FOR IT. im completely stock, stock recovery, NO ROOT. NO GSM UNLOCK. running on NV right now.

st_7 138 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 To EveryOne: There is a way to force the update to be received by your phone, just clear cache data of 'Google Frameworkservices' & force close it and then check if updates available to your phone. As I've written yesterday that there is also a modified OTA that is being worked on by developers, it is ready now and this modded OTA can be flashed through TWRP. You can find the OTA & instructions in this thread of XDA forum. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

st_7 138 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 Ok guys, the ZVC(Sprint Kitkat update) TOT file is available now, giving you another way of updating your LG G2 to kitkat. Let me summarize the number of ways that are available to update your Sprint device to KitKat. 1). If you are completely stock(factory state, although you can have GSM unlock that won't be issue), then to update your device immediately, clear data & cache of 'Google Framework Services' and check for updates in system settings(try it few times if you update is not shown at first time). 2) If you didn't install Xposed models or wifi mods & nothing else is modified in your ROM(factory OS) except that you are rooted and TWRP installed(again, it doesn't if you have done GSM unlock method), then use modified OTA file provided in this XDA Thread. The main advantage of this method is that you can flash the OTA from within TWRP and still have TWRP recovery even after getting updated to Kitkat. Please follow the instructions on the original XDA thread carefully. 3) This is the by far easiest way to install(although you loose everything, so you must backup your data). Well known XDA Developer member 'autoprime' has made ZVC(Sprint Kitkat update) TOT file available for all. You can download the ZVC TOT file HERE(in that page you will see LS980ZVC_12.zip file). Please donat to him if you can as according to 'autoprime' he had to pay to get this ZVC tot, you can find the original ZVC tot Thread here. 4). And the last(this was the first method that I've put up this thread, but it may be the least preferred method as it involves adb sideloading). You can find detailed description of this method in one of my post in the previous page, you can find that post HERE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
