Root [Virgin Mobile] First update

Hello, I rooted a victory right out of the box, without installing the absolute first update because I wanted to flash the mg5 update after rooting. But I didnt know there was an update prior to that. Could anyone please get me a twrp flashable zip for that first update? The update prompt is really annoying
 
There wasn't an update prior to MG5 that I had running on mine. I had followed the instructions in this thread: http://androidforums.com/virgin-mob...s-root/750720-new-update-patience-please.html

At first I didn't install the G60 stock backup because I was pretty much already on stock minus a few alterations, but even then the no-props update didn't work. Followed the instructions to a tee, installed the G60 stock backup, installed the update via TWRP and bam, MG5.

If you want to just disable the update prompts you can also just delete the OTA keys off the phone with Root Explorer, or better yet set permissions to nothing.
 
What build number are you on? Jerry's no props is for mc1 to mg5. The update in your phone is in cache/. If you remove all the prop checks in the updater script and rezip and sign it it might flash in twrp. If you upload the update file someone might be able to do it for you. Is your build ma8? You could try this to go to mc1 http://androidforums.com/showthread.php?p=6118115 then the no props update to mg5.
 
I literally just had to do this with a different update. If you try and flash it'll give you a assert failed error. I ended up cowering back to stock recovery and it was all good.
 
Lh2? I thought it was ma8. Of course I've only had this phone since mc1, so I am no expert on previous firmware on it. But I've seen rbheromax referred to as "the overclocking god" of the victory, so I think he knows waaay more than me. But I'm learning more everyday. :cool:
 
well sorta. the sprint had lh2 then you came with ma8, then everyone got mc1 which g60 used for his backup, then mg5 came and blew us away :P
