I was on lg open source website, and there is a zv6, which is kitkat still. Can anybody tell me how get it to show up when i press update? Or maybe someone could tell me how to compile it to a flashable zip.
 
According to Sprint...the zv6 update will address the Stagefright virus vulnerability now affecting over 1 billion android devices worldwide. Lookout Mobile Security has a detector on Google Play but it doesn't remove the virus, just tells you that you're vunerable. I wonder if we'll be able to root after this update? Waiting to see. As a prep, I've downloaded the Unmodded zv5 rom & stock recovery. I'm hoping for the best!

It would be nice if it was a Lollipop update. I have a new Lollipop Android Tablet, and It's nice!

yeah, i wish they would release the update for download. I am kind of wondering how the stagefright fix will affect the phone myself. I wonder if there is a way to get it earlier?

Here is the readme.txt file from the zv6 source, word for word. I downloaded last night, just in case they pull it.

1. Android build
- Download original android source code ( kitkat 4.4.2_r2 ) from http://source.android.com
- Untar opensource packages of LGLS660_Kitkat_Android.tar.gz into downloaded android source directory
a) tar xvzf LGLS660_Kitkat_Android.tar.gz
- And, merge the source into the android source code
- Run following scripts to build android
a) source build/envsetup.sh
b) lunch aosp_hammerhead-userdebug
c) make -j4
- When you compile the android source code, you have to add google original prebuilt source(toolchain) into the android directory.
- After build, you can find output at out/target/product/hammerhead
2. Kernel Build
- Uncompress using following command at the android directory
tar xvzf LGLS660_Kitkat_Kernel.tar.gz
- When you compile the kernel source code, you have to add google original prebuilt source(toolchain) into the android directory.
- Run following scripts to build kernel
a) cd kernel
b) export PATH=$PATH:tools/lz4demo
c) make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=../prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi- e2nas_spr_us_defconfig zImage -j4

* "-j4" : The number, 4, is the number of multiple jobs to be invoked simultaneously.
* lz4demo : More information can be found at "https://code.google.com/p/lz4/"
- After build, you can find the build image(zImage) at arch/arm/boot
3. how to build chromium34_lge (vendor\lge\external\chromium34_lge\src),
please refer to README.txt at the folder mentioned above.


Have to do a clean install on my laptop, then I'll compile it. But those are the instructions. Pretty straight forward. If someone beats me to it, please post a link to it once compiled.
The source is 683 MB, so I'm thinking there might be more than just the Stagefright fix. Be nice if this was an upgrade to 4.4.4 (read as wishful thinking). All 33 stagefright files take up 4.1 MB on device, so we'll see.

Interesting. I hope that this update contains more than the stage fright fix. Being 683 mb, it has to be something different, and the only time i have seen an ota that large, it was an firmware update, but like you said, it could just be wishful thinking. Still, any update for me is welcome.
 
I hope this update doesn't bork our phones...especially when our community has only just begun to develop this phone into something amazing...or at least better!

So, not meaning to bother you, but how is compiling the source code coming along? Just curious. with all due respect.
