Vinod Nayak 443 Report post Posted April 2, 2014 @st_7 If I am rooted and everything is stock can I use method mention in first step.. I already have update downloaded just waiting for someone to confirm if we can take OTA when we are rooted.. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk Root will prevent OTA update. You need to be stock, stock recovery & no root to do the update using OTA. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk Will it harm the cdma and gsm unlocking part? Both work, CDMA data for now only on NV, GSM works with data. But now with KitKat it's either CDMA on NV or GSM on SIM, can't use both like before.

Vinod Nayak 443 Report post Posted April 2, 2014 Any simple way to unroot it... I don't want to flash stock ZVA.. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk Try root uninstaller from Google play. Once uninstalled, download root checker and check for root access. If it says no root, BACKUP A NANDROID TO PC. Then update via OTA.

ev1lb0ygen1us 27 Report post Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Guys, which TWRP version are you using? Latest 2.7.0.0 works good with LS980 KK? Heard with 2.7, scrolling has become more smooth and swift. Gotta try this holofied theme of TWRP - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2665527 Edited April 2, 2014 by ev1lb0ygen1us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigbyte 24 Report post Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) I'll summarize my observations here. Correct me if I am wrong. To unlock Sprint G2 for GSM, rooting is necessary. So if you are GM unlocked chances are that you are rooted already unless you have used a unroot process. For a rooted device the best option to update is using recovery flash, as suggested by st_7. If some one takes or forces an OTA update on a rooted device, he will face problems like faced by ankurcshah. In case you have bricked your phone by taking OTA, you can return to stock kitkat by using Tot file method (method 3 in st_7's post). GSM unlocking still works on KitKat ZVC. CDMA RUIM data is not working on Kitkat ZVC as of now. However, if you have flashed ZVC using a TOT file the GSM unlock will go away and currently there is no known method for GSM unlock on bone stock ZVC once again, I have just summarized what i have read in this thread and I welcome to be corrected.

bigbyte 24 Report post Posted April 3, 2014 Gsm unlock is there for ZVC. Rest all points are correct Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk I said that if you update using the .tot file method, you'll return to bone stock ZVC, thereby loosing unlock and the GSM unlocking method is not confirmed in that case. It was mentioned by none other than the creator of GSM unlock method himself in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51580613&postcount=298 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51581360&postcount=300 However, since rooting is possible for ZVC, whether pushing the property folder in a bone stock rooted ZVC device makes it unlocked for GSM or not remains to be tested as of now.

Nick Keslar 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2014 I am attempting to figure this out. I am stock and I am rooted and attempted to the build prop edit way to unlock the g2, as I did the other day and it worked flawlessly, but this is my next attempt on a different phone. I did everything the exact same way and I can not pick up a signal. I believe the IMEI may be bad. Would that prevent me from being able to use any of these methods?

There is a clean GSM unlock for those who who have used the ZVC.tot & this works for those who have received KK4.4.2 via OTA. Will post a tutorial soon. I am attempting to figure this out.
