Really desp in need an LS980 ZVA .TOT topic

I tried to LGNPST back to both ZV7 and ZV8 but it only half worked... like my phone boots, makes the sound, etc, says android is upgrading, then upon the lock screen appearing, it goes dim, and eventually restarts in a loop... God damn it, why do the phone manufacturers always try to make it like as impossible as could be, to do what you'd like to on your own phone. Perhaps we'd have a real recovery more similar to a BIOS - if this crap was not discouraged.

Unless there's a way to start Fastboot on the G2, I'm pretty sure I need a ZVA TOT for the LS980. I have insurance at worst case, but I haven't seen the file anywhere.
