And everyone else will be confused.

Well what other choice is there? Is is possible to upload the persist folder, or a nandroid and use that? cause I honestly have no clue what so ever.

Those having the MMS problems...This is a common CDMA CM problem. You're just missing Sprint's MMS proxy+APN. I'm sure you can add the MMS APN in Mobile Networks. I'll try to pull an APN from my sister's Desire.

i had the same problem as you, just use this cwm reovery and it should flash (i couldn't find the page on XDA where i got it from so i'll mirror it for now

i had actually flashed mine from the odexed zv5 stock rom so that isn't the problem

Probably not wise to flash a recovery built for another phone...good luck though

There's an idea. Granted, it would be a couple gigs but could someone with working cm12 make a back up, send it to him and have him restore that?

Edit: by all accounts I've heard, cwm is dead technology. Personally I like twrp interface better. I don't see why people still bother with cwm at all

If someone could do that, I would love them forever. Also it will not flash the CM, but it is flashing the stock perfectly. The error it is giving me is something along the line of this rom is made for x5, your phone is lg_ls740v3

Well then something's wrong with the recovery you're using. The zip tries to grab the model from build.prop in the recovery. That recovery is most likely defining itself as *LG_ls740v3*. Just remove asserts at the top from updater-script inside META-INF from the zip.

I wasn't saying not to try. You have nothing to lose. It's just that by rights, cwm shouldn't work. It might install, but your radio will probably be borked, which is why cwm has been ditched.
Be sure to make a new backup in cwm if you try it.

Are you on zv3? Try updating to zv5 first.

I am on zv5. I have an idea I am going to try.

And it didn't work. If someone could somehow upload a nandroid backup for me to try, I would be thankful to them forever.

Yo dude just try editing out the assert lines with Notepad++ in Windows. It's not that hard.

I did. It still errored on me. Not the same error, but a diffrent one.

I still find it hard to believe you actually downgared using lg flash tool & the supplied tot. And it not restoring your partitions correctly.

ApplyParsedPerms: lsetfilecon of /system/lost+found to u

bject_r:system_file:s0 failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint
set_metadata_recursive:s0: some changes failed.

Then remove THAT line.

I could even show you me doing it. I honestly did it twice. I am as confused as you are.

furryoflife · Mar 3, 2015

I'm just going to give up for now. If someone would be able to upload a nandroid backup for me to try, that would be nice.

I am unsure if it helps, but here is a copy of my persist-lg partition found at https://mega.co.nz/#!Hh0VjJYb!NWgxg7OINO2VxLClBAyp3fECyZNnmcwV3r6hFcbDnEA

Don't know if there's anything you can do. Just how did you go about flashing it?

Now what's this business?

Unrelated: I think we might need a separate thread for furryoflife's phone.
