Root Root, Return to stock and Tool for pushing V7 to your phone and the new unlocker

[Lykarsis]

Just thought I'd make these links all a little easier to find as i've been seeing many people looking for the solutions they provide.

I have nothing to do with the making of any of these tools, direct all thanks to the Devs. they deserve it.

Huge thanks to Neph, PlayfulGod, tdm, Death2all110, jcase and anyone else who had a hand in making these wonderful tools available to us. Thank you for putting up with us!

Tool for pushing the ICS update to your phone (Be very sure to read all instructions twice before trying this or you can kill your phone!!)
Flashing LG signed Firmware - LG Spectrum - RootzWiki

I have used all 3 of these tools and I can personally verify that they work, so long as you follow directions exactly.

If anyone can think of any more links to useful tools that might have gotten buried in some random thread, go ahead and post them here and I will periodically update the thread with them. (Please include whoever made the tool so credit can be given.)

Edit #1 - thanks to afbcamaro for this. To access the testing menu (to turn off 4g) dial *#*#4636#*#*

Edit #1.5 - Verizon hidden menu. dial ##program920 with a service code of 000000

Edit #2 - many thanks to all of the wonderful devs. This is the boot loader unlocked for V7 (Linux version) NOT WINDOWS!!!

Be sure for the windows Unlocker, you put the Bootloader folder in C:\ or it won't work, at least it didn't for me.

I was thinking the same thing when I got up this morning...

I said it because I'm often up until 3 am or there about in the chatroom with play and when I get up at ten or so I see post from play at 8 am. Makes me wonder how much he sleeps lol.

First post I saw from him this morning was around 6:30 or 6:40... maybe he just hadn't gone to bed yet.

Guys,

I've moved you over to the all-things-root sub-forum.

Thanks!

You can also access the LTE settings menu with an app called LTE OnOff in the play store.
