No, it's cool man. I actually didn't write out instructions to making a nandroid backup because I forgot lol I guess I take knowing how to for granted, and you can't when you are writing a guide! I'll add it asap!

Software Update file

Hey
Where is the software update actually stored on the device? (The 8/4/2011 for the LG Revolution).
Once updated, can yo install CWM? Can it be rooted?

Just hang out, it will not install through cwm. Thecubed is going to be working on it.

I actually wanted to tinker with the Software Update file and see whats inside. I wanted to know where Android downloads it to on the filesystem.
I'm sure TheCubed will figure it out with CWM

It is in /cache/fota. It is a 70mb bin file.

Go into settings-about phone-update status and download the update. Do not install and check in that folder.

If you already installed the update, is it too late?

Yes. I assume you don't have cwm if you updated?

What are you trying to find? You can adb pull whatever file you are wanting to check, then check it against the old file to see what has changed.

It possibly could install by changing it to a zip file but who knows what it would mess up. With recovery items in there it may mess up cwm, that is a little above me without doing more research into it.

He's right. Installing the update without removing some stuff from it first (like it's new boot.img and the "installrecovery.sh" script) would possibly softbrick your device.
Decrap2 will take a while to do since it's gonna take a lot of work to apply this update to my ROM (gotta flash back to stock and apply the OTA, then deodex and then remove bing all over again...)

i didn't have it installed on my phone when I updated the phone

I'm confused- do you have CWM installed? If so, there's no way you could have applied the update yet...

I have two revolution devices.
One was stock (as if I bought it from a VZW store), the other one was with CWM.
The CWM with Decrap on it. (giving lots of issues with the launcher such as missing icons, etc)
Stock is on the latest LG update.
CWM is on the OEM release

Thanks!

Not sure why everyone has overcomplicated this. All you need to do is run one simple exe. Takes 1 minute, phone reboots, and you are rooted. Here's the thread:

Yes, he just used ics as an example. It can be any rom, just make sure the rom is compatible with 902

That's a false positive. No viruses, it is just a package that lainches the original batch file so Norton flips out. (Surprised ppl are still using Norton though. Avast FTW)

Its kind of.common for Norton to detect a virus with anything that involves modifying something.

The UNROOT
If you wanna unroot your device, why so ever, the easiest way is to use Unlock Root (Link above) open it, connect your phone via USB, enable Debugging Mode and click unroot. If you wanna unroot it, e.g. to be able to send it back to LG on warranty, better use the method below, to unbrick your device with R&D tool.
Because like this, you will get back an unrooted device, which has also been hardresetted. So LG will hardly/never get a clue, that it has ever been rooted.
Dont forget to format your SD card as well

That's from my how to, but I think I should correct this. Use Smartflashtool and flash the latest version available for you. Do a factory reset from within settings menu and everything should be fine

[Q] a NOOB Question about the bootloader~~~~~~~~~

(im new to this forum so i cant post screenshots in my thread)

Unlocking bootloaders and S-Off are different. Unlocking the bootloader just gives you some access to the boot partition, whereas S-Off means you have access to ALL partitions. Unlocking the bootloader is the first step.
With it unlocked, it will say UNLOCKED, and if you lock it back, it will say RE-LOCKED. With proper S-Off, you can downgrade the HBOOT so it will say LOCKED for warranty purposes. S-Off is not yet available for this phone

THANKS for your direction pointing!
your reply solved most of mysteries about this subject in my head.now i had a general understanding of what these "terms" mean, just too many of them and causes me a headache...
ok, 1st step, i am doing this!:good::laugh:

Just be careful, check your phone for AL defects before unlocking your bootloader. Warranty is void when you do, unless you can prove whatever defect you send the phone in for is not a result of unlocking, and even then...

You will get the update but not be able to install it if you run a rooted stock rom. You won't be able to flash it unless you unroot and put the stock recovery on. This can be done with a ruu

Read Mikes topic in Android development, I'd recommend reading about it before you touch any of this. Wait for the 4.2.2 update to see if it solves your problem, it should be out soon. If not then I'd say go and root.
