Root OTA ICS LG Spectrum Problems.....HELP!!!

[nastyleak]

let me ask you this? how are you extracting and putting the file in the correct location? Are downlaoing on your computer, extracting and placing on your sd card? Are you doing it all on your phone?

I have done it both ways hollywood, I connected my phone to my PC, put it into mass storage mode, search for the base sd directory and extract it there using my PC, then I put it back to charge only.

Also, I have copied the zip.file onto my phone (through my pc) and then I have extracted it through my phone onto the base sd directory.

So, as you can see I've done it both ways and still nothing seems to work.

That's why I asked, if it's not too much to ask, can someone please make a youtube video showing step by step on how to do this correctly....it will be greatly APPRECIATED.

If not, then I'll just go back and crawl up back into my whole and wait until the 4G issue is fixed on the ICS leaked version.

You should not be extracting the .zip file. It should be placed as is on your phone.
Edit: To explain, you should do a straight copy of the .zip file to the directory you choose on your phone. I use the /download directory on my SD card by default. CWM relies on the .zip format to flash files on your phone. The program does the work of extracting and installing.

try downloading the file directly to the phone, instead of tranferring fomr the computer. Thenuse an app like root explorer ( its what i used) to extract it to the correct folder. be careful thoguh, whe i did this is placed it one folder too deep ( sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/v6_stock_noroot/v6_stock_noroot/)
so i had to move back one folder after extraction( sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/v6_stock_noroot/) .

incorrect. the process he is using is a nandroid,which needs to be extracted to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/v6_stock_noroot/ . although micromodd does have a flashable version of the v6 stock rom he could just download and flash.

 

[ssj4gogeta2003]

Whoops, I should have read more carefully
I will say that, given his problems, a flashable rom is probably going to be easier than a nandroid backup. I know for a fact that MicroMod's v6 rooted ROM (with stock recovery, of course) can receive the ICS update using the VZW download tool.

This what the backup folder should look like

The you go into the v6_stock_noroot folder and should look like this... If the is another v6_stock_noroot folder you have don't it wrong

still trying to be nice... but it gets very very frustrating answering the same questions over and over. 9 times out of 10 your questions and issues can usually be solved by searching the forum. I know it can be a pain sometimes, but it should always be your first option.

This is why I left XDA. It got to be a day in, day out thing... ugh

Everyone please pay attention!

Stop trying to upgrade if you have cwm!!!!!!

Your phone must be stock zv6, no root, and no CWM!

strange I didn't have to flash the signed firmware at all to receive the ics update. All i did was run the AIO tool, did the unroot, restored factory recovery, then I did the upgrade thru my computer (the OTA wouldn't even download it kept tripping out on me)
but then again I hadn't been running any ROMS
(if you were running stock tho make sure you unfreeze EVERYTHING just to be on the safe side lol)
