We are not able to flash radio on ally currently with ra or with clock work ( I built the newest 3.0+ clockwork recovery to try). Fastboot doesnt do it either (errors). If it comes back success its a placebo from recovery and doesnt actually flash it. Anyone that had a phone SHIPPED with software newer than VS740ZV06 will need to downgrade. Its on upc label if still there under bin version what you have shipped. Downgrade is to be done via LGMU to ZV06 to get and keep root with fastboot enabled bootloader after taking the ota and ones in the future. Do not do the LGMU Updater method to froyo as you will lose the bootloader.

Work around for this is being looked into with no success yet.

Only ZV06 shipped or downgraded to ZV06 will have fastboot bootloader as bootloader is NOT changed via ota.

Do not discuss any LGMU expoits either as they are already being closed on other devices and can be expected to be closed in the future.

Added : If you are unsure shipped version downgrade to be sure.

Full instructions to root ota with ZV06's bootloader will be posted soon.
 
I have the VS740ZV06 according to my settings in about phone so is it safe to accept the OTA or continue to wait. I'm running velocity 4 btw

I apologize in advance for being ignorant. BUT.. If one would happen to have a non-stock recovery which is working properly, and one did use the LGMU to get Froyo already, thus not having bootloader anymore, is one still screwed, and if so, why? Thank you in advance for explaining this more clearly for us n00bs.
 
Thanks Drell for all your hard work along with Death, and Trident, Dots, and everyone else who has made this phone better!! So at this point is it worth going to 2.2 or sticking with v4 on 2.1 or punisher. If we go to 2.2 are we going to lose alot like speed, or performance, or anything else great that we have? Just a question I had before I try anything. Thanks for all your help guys.
