Welcome to AF Jeezus:)

So to settings-about phone and you will see it as the pic shows

Thanks for that info! Finally updated it to ZVD from ZVB, which I actually had no problems at all so I'm looking forward to it. You've probably been asked this many times, but what am I looking forward to in ZVD in improvements or in general? Thanks again

Better battery life cause Lg incorporated 90% of Kanadias Homeless Kernel into ZVD. Will be smoother. More roms and themes. That abut sums it up
 
I wasn't going to update from ZVB to ZVD, but I was too tempted. Everything is working great so far. Thanks for these clear instructions. My phone was lagging a little on ZVB, but most likely it was because of how many apps I had (60+), So I was going to just start fresh, and decided to give ZVD a try. Everything all smooth and fast now.
 
Yeah so far it's running great. Actually noticed an improvement in battery life by an extra two hours. Seems to be responding smoothly in tasks. Just hated the LG stock home so I'm using 360 launcher but even I'm having doubts about that. Otherwise, update is a slight increase overall :)

You had said you got the USB issue solved:confused:
With the update tool it should say what version you currently have and if you need an update of version. Your cord still isn't working is my guess-can you try an alternative cord?

my bad man it did say all that and i downloaded the updates and installed them
when i thought i fixed it i changed something in devices and then windows recognized everything then i restarted and when i plugged my phone in it recognized it as UDC-AHB Subsystem so i retryed everything from the start

Know i know what i did shoulda of stopped guessing at AnyCut Modes when i couldnt turn my 4g back on so i extended my data plan lol

The only PROPER way to get the driver for this device is either...

A. If anyone knows someone with a VL600 and can copy down the driver for us

B. Someone GETS the VL600 and downloads the proper driver, then uses VZ
Access Manager and the LG VL600 Software Upgrade Tool to ENSURE we
have the most recent driver.

P.S.: This is in fact going to be a USB Tether Mode available. Enabling this
option will harm you device in ANY way. In order to attemp to install the
driver properly you MUST connect to PC, enable "Internet Connection"
mode, THEN enable "LTE USB". If you enable "TLE USB" before entering
"Internet Connection" mode the computer will not even attempt to
recognize the phone. So this means if you DO enable this option, before
you can have it connect to the computer again u MUST disable the
"LTE USB" option before your computer will recognize it.

Thanks. Silly me forgot about that...my computer was always alerting me but I always ignored it. Did that and now it worked.

Is it a must to factory reset? Also...am I the only one who got Google+ and some other junk added after this?

Welcome to Android Forums Quackers :)
It is up to you if you want to factory reset(but a clean start on the new version is a good way to go) just make sure you have backed up text,call logs, pics, ect. that you want to keep.
Yeah all the added Google stuff is normal-if you choose to root most of it can be deleted-most of it is anyway on a few of the custom ROMs :D
 
Keep getting an error message
an internal error occured in microsoft internet extensions

What can this be?

Also if I open the lg mobile support tool and click usb driver download and go to metro pcs then my device. it stops at the very end and doesnt do anything further.
Tried to uninstall and it wont let me..seems like it is installing not uninstalling

Looks like the computer you're using may have some registry issues. Give this a try http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/registry-cleaner/
I use this products as well as some of the other free ones they have.
As for the drivers-there is a direct link to them in the OP. Prior to using them I suggest you delete the other downloads for LG in add/remove programs first then start anew.
