Root Esteem Problem Thread-Post All Issues Here

Does anybody have a copy of the stock ZVD rom? I tried to restore mine in clockworkmod And it is giving me an md5 mismatch error. I also tried the 1 from the stock adonns thread in this forum and it won't work either

if you rename them and or have spaces in the name, than thats the problem.
 
Hey guys i need some help when i try rooting my esteem nothing happens...
i clicked on run.bat it starts daemon successfully but it just remains saying it.
i let it sit there for several minutes but still nothing i restarted my phone and computer and even ran the bat file as administrator still no success. Any help?


Im having the same problem as well. i try to root, and then it just gets stuck at "daemon started successfully".
 
i had the same problem with mine. last night i got my esteem out of Test Mode. everything worked fine except i couldnt connect to the pc. i have to admit i was messing with the options before i found Fuzzy13's guide to fixing it. >___< but i was able to fix it. not sure why or how it works but it did.

step1. i dialed ##626* to get the metropcs hidden menu

step2. it asks for a service code. what i used was a conversion of my IMEI to SPC using this page.
http://http://www.meidconverter.com/ you can find your IMEI/MEID on the "about phone>Status" menu. type it in and write or remember the SPC number it gives you, its the 6 digit number at the very bottom, and use that to open the menu

step3. select the option that says "Network Select". this opens another menu with 4 options.

step4. select the "LTE USB disable/enable" option and make sure its disabled. if it isnt, switch it over.

step5. now you can simply exit out as you wish, back button it all the way or just press home.

now try to connect it to your computer, hopefully, it should work and the LG autorun/ internal memory/ external memory autoplay menus should pop up. but if it doesnt work, then im terribly sorry. you can revert the option you changed if you wish. but this is just my experience and what worked for me.
 
Phone say no service and no sim...sim was never removed and bill was paid also it boots and loads but lock screen does nothing to enter the phone but yet gets calls and mms... Any ideas?

Welcome to AF randomkillx:)
Have you confirmed that each sd card you have tried reads in your computer or a different phone:confused:
You could also try unmounting the card in settings and re mounting it to see if it picks it up. What kind of cards are they btw:confused:
 
I rooted my LG esteem #2 V2.7 and updated it to ZVD. I can search for Wifi and find a sutible connection, I enter wep code and i hit connect and nothing happens at all. it remembers the wep key and everything, but just wont conect.

Only thing that has solved it for me before is to re flash the rom:thumbup:
 
Thank you :)

If you tried them in different phones/computer and they work it sounds like an issue with the phone. Hopefully insurance is an option for you.

Try flashing the ROM after making sure you have wiped everything correctly. If it still doesn't play nice then yes an different ROM may be your best bet.
Are you overclocking? That may be why your getting reboots-if you have it set higher than your device can handle.
 
no oc here ,basicly when i had my old esteem tuned to my satisfaction,i didnt need oc,i was pleased with my monster,but the reboot thing is driving me crrazy,ill redownload #2 2.7 and wipe everything(should i still do the exit recovery flash afterwards?) and guess ill give #2 2.5 ( like that one too),maybe try the black plaque too. thank you for the suggestions and ill get back with you all if i find anything out...... thanks again
 
TEST MODE FIX

--Plug your phone into your USB connection.

--Go to START then CONTROL PANEL then DEVICE MANAGER. Scroll down to "Ports(Com and LPT)" Expand it and your phone SHOULD be listed with a "COM7", "COM3" etc....


--Get YOUR "COM" number and remember it. This is what USB port you are plugged into. (If you don't see your phone, the drivers are NOT installed correctly.)

--Open and extract the Test Mode Zip on your desktop

--Open up the folder "Test Mode Fix" You should be looking at this.

--Open the drop down menu and find YOUR "COM" port.

--Click on CONNECT after you select YOUR "COM" and it SHOULD look like this.

--It takes 2-3 seconds and your phone will reboot if it is successful.


CONGRATULATIONS. You are now out of the dreaded TEST MODE.





Now for the fun stuff. Let's get your service back working.

SO I FOUND THIS THREAD IN THE FORUM AND THOUGHT IT WAS THE ANSWER TO ALL MY PRAYERS. I HAVE READ THIS THREAD ABOUT 5 MILLION TIMES THOROUGHLY AND READ ALL THE COMMENTS AND REPLIES...WELL MOST OF THEM. I DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE ONE TO ASK A RIDICULOUS QUESTION AND THE ANSWER IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE SO I CONTINUED TO READ IT OVER AND OVER TO LEARN ALL POSSIBLE ERRORS THAT COULD ARISE AND SOLUTIONS TO THOSE ERRORS.

YES, I HAVE ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF TEST MODE {{CAN'T MAKE/RECEIVE CALLS/TEXTS, 4G ENABLED, NETWORK SAYS SEARCHING FOR SERVICE, NO PHONE #, MIN #, OR PRL VERSION#, NOT ROAMING, ROOTED LG ESTEEM, JUST FACTORY RESET ABOUT 2DAYS AGO -- HAD NO CHOICE :( -- I WAS STUCK IN RECOVERY MODE LOOP FOR A WHOLE DAY TIL I FOUND THE EXITRECOVERY.ZIP (FORGOT WHO DEVELOPED IT BUT THANK YOU), HIT "#" AND HIDDEN MENU COMES UP, USB SAYS FACTORY CABLE MODE, ETC..ETC.}} I GOT EVERYTHING DOWNLOADED, INSTALLED, UNZIPPED, & REGISTERED, FOLLOWED ALL THE STEPS AND WHEN I GET TO THE TEST MODE FIX IT SAYS THIS

"Connecting to COM3...
Reading Device Please Wait...
Connected To: LG Esteem (MS-910)
Device Fail To Unlock!
Reboot device and try again!
Device Software: Feb 24 201218:10:52Feb 24 201218:10:52MS910ZVD

DEVICE FAIL TO UNLOCK IS IN "RED" AND TEST MODE DISABLED FAILED IS IN "RED" AS WELL. MY PHONE NEVER REBOOTS AND I HAVE TRIED EVERY USB PORT ON MY CPU...........SO WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? HELP!
 
Try plugging the phone into the computer and restarting it while still plugged in. Thinking the adb drivers failed to load for you the first time you attempted it.
Then try the process again. If it still won't cooperate uninstall everything including the drivers and the test mode files and start anew with your antivirus/malware programs disabled.
