Thank you so much! ROM Manager is so much easier! It works like a charm. I've spent the past 7 hours trying to get CRM installed via my PC and ROM Manager took 3 minutes. ha ha Now I'm going to proceed with Gingersteem.

typo on my part fixing now and will get it uploaded n post when its done.
UPDATE: Quite a few typos actually lol, should be all fixed now n good to go!!!
Re-downloaded, but still getting the same error message with the exclamation point triangle.
I'm a complete newb to rooting as of this morning actually and i followed all thee instructions that was posted. I was able to get the phone rooted after a few tries but am unable to reboot to recovery. How do I even know if it was successful?? i tried to manually do it with the vol+- and power keys, no success. I've tried quick boot recovery, no success. I've tried RM, no success. Well not that I would actually know because i wouldn't know what visible change would need to take place. But one thing I do know is I keep getting the Android logo next to the exclamation point too and now my sound is completely gone for EVERYTHING. From music, to youtube app, to even talking on the phone, etc. What do i do to get it back?? And how can i guarantee success with this?? Help, help, help me please.
Some notes: Had to get a new phone this am, my other one died doing some experimental work on internal memory.
Tried this twice, It roots fine, but seems to have issues with CWM. Downloaded and ran the zip, have root, no sound, using the buttons to get into CWM did not work, it reset the phone.
Tried again, Got root, no sound, this time I installed Rom Manager, and tried to boot into recovery. Ran into a bootloop.
Reset the phone with the key combo again, and now am in the process of downgrading to zvb to root until the bugs get worked outwith this. Please let me know if you have any questions about what occurred. Thanks

So I decided to try the volume and power buttons again. Got to the point to where I can press power 3 times to confirm it but only after releasing the power button after vibrate but continuing to hold the volume keys. I ended up getting my sound back BUT now it did a reset. Something I thought we wasn't suppose to worry about when rooting. I lost everything. Shouldn't there have been another screen saying congrats or something after it was confirmed?? Instead of booting in regularly to turn out to be a reset?? I'm stuck.

the windows .bat should be working 100% now
Indeed it is working 100% now. Got it to get passed the issues I was having. And being that I am a newb to this whole rooting and flashing thing. Do i just click Flash ClockworkMod Recovery now?? Because it's still saying "I must have it installed to flash and restore ROMs" in RM. Or is there something else I must do or can do?? Rooting sounded interesting so I jumped in bed with it and i know I'll be glad that I did. Looking forward to the replies. Thanks again =)

Good deal!
Yes go ahead and install CMR and then ROM will show available to you within RM
This is a great read BTW

I was extremely happy to read that this would work on ZVC, & had to try right away. My wife just wants me to remove bloatware, not worried about a new rom. Every time I try to run the RootRecoveryAIO.sh I get:
RootRecoveryAIO.sh: line 661: syntax error near unexpected token `|'
RootRecoveryAIO.sh: line 661: `model=(Files/$adb shell getprop ro.product.device | tr -d '\r\n[:blank:]')'
PG, you mentioned in a previous post that there were some typos in the .bat file. Is this a product of a typo? I'm brand new to using Terminal, & I know it's only made harder by running Mac. It is Intel based, not PowerPC. Any help would be much appreciated.

Prolly a typo in the function to check if you're on a mac or not. If you open the .sh up in kate or gedit and look for line 40 and edit it to look like this:
Code:
adb="Files/adb"Then rerun it n let me know if it works ok then.

I don't know what kate or gedit are, when I click on the file it opens in TextEdit. I just counted down 40 lines & made the change, but it still gives me the same error. I looked through the whole thing for the line it gave in the error, and found this at the very end (underlined the problem part):
function checkmodel {
echo Checking current phone model...
model=(Files/$adb shell getprop ro.product.device | tr -d '\r\n[:blank:]')
echo;echo Phone Model is Detected as $model;echo
if [ "$model" == "MS910" ]; then
sdir="MS910"
elif [ "$model" == "VS910" ]; then
sdir="VS910"
else
echo
echo THIS SCRIPT IS FOR THE LG ESTEEM and REVOLUTION
echo MODELS MS910 and VS910 ONLY
echo SCRIPT WILL NOW ABORT
echo
exit
fi

try just running the original root script posted in [ROOT] for ZVC. I'm prurdy sure the error is being caused by the function that checks n sees if your running a Mac or not n tells it to use the adb.osx file.

I've tried that too. It just keeps telling me
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
Sometimes it continues, but keeps saying something like error device not found.

Do you have USB Debugging on? Did you turn on Internet Connection Mode from the notification menu when you plug in your phone to the computer? That would be the one of the reasons why it is not finding your device or the drivers not being installed correctly.

First let me say, I'm on a Mac. I don't have access to a Windows machine, so I know that makes it harder on me. I have USB Debugging on. Turned on Internet Connection Mode when I plugged in, then tried setting to default to that when plugged in. Plugged it into computer before & after turning it on. Plugged in and rebooted system through recovery mode. I always run into the same problems no matter how I try to do it. Every time I plug it in, my Mac tells me "The disk you connected is not readable by this computer" with the option to ignore or eject. I hit Ignore (Eject just loops to the same question). I open Terminal, cd to the RootRecovery file, and run the .sh file. It tells me:
RootRecoveryAIO.sh: line 661: syntax error near unexpected token `|'
RootRecoveryAIO.sh: line 661: `model=(Files/$adb shell getprop ro.product.device | tr -d '\r\n[:blank:]')'
If I leave the first Terminal window open & run the .sh in another window, sometimes the first window goes through the "rooting phone, cleaning up, etc..." but inbetween every line says "error device not found". I just need to root & remove bloatware. I don't need roms or themes. It's my wife's phone, & she wants the battery to last longer. I've tried the other root for ZVC on this forum, but it hasn't worked for me either.
Sorry for the long post, I just wanna make sure I don't leave anything out.

I was about to do this but I forgot my 9 month old son pulled my keyboard off my pc and chewed on the cord and it don't work now. I put a 2 for the option with copy paste but I couldn't hit enter as far as I know. I guess ill do this after I get a new keyboard or go.somewhere else and do it.

I was having that exact same problem you were having but with Option 3. All you have to do is a factory wipe in the CWM mod and you will get your sound and vibration back. In the RZR recovery (Option 3) Go to the Wipe menu, then select data, then your all set! Reboot your phone. Under the Original CWM (Option 2) just go to Wipe/Factory then reboot. That's it. That is how you will get your sound and vibration back.
