Yeah, I just received mine today for the first time
Hey, gherkaul, I'm interested to know what you would have said if he had replied...
Right after installing cwmt recovery, I made a nandroid backup. Then I used the zv7 upgrade to update from zv6 to zv7. Hoping for a simpler way...
Thanks.
I'll be interested in hearing what results you have.
Try the rooted method first. I'd like to know if you get the false Stump reading of root after the update.I haven't updated it yet. Did you want me to un-root then update and then re-root? or did you want me to just update and then re-root?

It says I'm rooted but if I open up SuperSu, it says there is no su binary installed. It may be rooted but without that su binary added, it can't perform super user duties.
That's what I figured would happen. So Stump does have a bug. I'm not sure what sets the flag in Stump but it seems the User must un-root first. Without a re-root option Stump is useless. No Stump, no root...*chuckle*. Thanks for confirming. I'm going to try with twrp next. Who knows, maybe it doesn't happen with twrp. I'll post my results.
I see that the su binary is still in /system/xbin I can't remove it without root access. I see that's why it says it's rooted. We do need to remove root first. Grrr
Is there any way to downgrade back to v7 from v8? v8 removed root and stump root won't install. It gives a parse error.
Edit: I will try the soft unbrick using LGFT
That's all you can do at this point. Which ever FW you choose to use. After you flash and root, go here and use FOTAkill.apk to stop any future update notifications. It was made by Team CyanogenMod years ago for their roms but several members have been testing it with success on stock roms as well. Good luck.
This. Is there any reason to install V8? What benefit does it give?Thanks xclusive. After reading that thread I'm just going to sit on v7 with FOTAkill until an update comes that actually does something helpful.
I did the full unroot in Super SU, but not sure if it worked. How long should that normally take to complete? It was like less than 2 seconds and then the app quit. I rebooted and tried running busybox which said the phone is not properly rooted so I guess it maybe worked.
Without the modded roms this just turns into a pain in the ass.
My F3 was acting weird and I didn't know what was wrong with it but my keyboard wasn't working right so I went to force stop it but then my touch screen wasn't responding correctly so I rebooted and it was at the LG bootanimation for 5 mins. I removed the battery to turn it off and was able to get in recovery mode to reflash the V8 stock ROM. I didnt know what to make of it so I just posting it here
