La patience et le pardon
The update for ZVD has been release. :cool:
Download the LG Drivers here:LG _USB _Drivers_All_4.9.7.zip - File Shared from Box
Then download and run the LG update tool here:http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe

If you have an external SD card in your phone remove it now.
Plug your phone in(Choose Internet Connection Mode) and the update tool will check your phone. The "Start Updating" will turn red when the tool is done reading the phone. As shown in the picture:

Click "Start Updating" and phone will update within 30-40 minutes.

Once updated if you wish to root proceed:

Prior to rooting ZVD version do a 'Factory data reset' on your phone: Settings-Privacy-Factory data reset-Check the box to "Erase Internal SD card"-then select "Reset phone".

Download the root for your Computer operating system:
Windows:http://vulnfactory.org/public/LG_Esteem_Root_v2_Windows.zip
Linux/OSX:http://vulnfactory.org/public/LG_Esteem_Root_v2_Linux_OSX.zip

Unzip the files.

Put your phone in USB debugging: Settings-Applications-Development USB debugging

Plug your phone into computer -Run the "runautorun.exe"

Linux OSX-run.sh

CMD Window opens follow the prompts on the screen.
Thanks to Android Forums - View Profile: jburt for the video on the root process:cool:

Disconnect the phone from the computer.
Setup your Gmail account and proceed to the "Play Store"(Market) and download ROM Manager(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager)

Open app and "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
Then "Backup Current ROM"

One thing to keep in mind-if you flash any ROM,Kernel, it will overwrite the fix for the power cycling(random re-boot) problem in previous SW versions.
Until all ROM & Kernels are built from ZVD source there will be problems:mad:

Mk got his to take -cant get mine to-waiting to here if nuttmeg was successful
Gotta zz for a bit..pushing 23 hrs up:eek:
 
Boy ton of bloat, root and cwm work fine, I used the cwm app very easy, looks like there is more bloat than before. Seems to to power up faster. Metro boot animation has no sound... Kind of miss the metro pcs sound on boot.. booooo:(
 
If it ain't broke don't fix it. I'm having no rebooting problems on b. So I'm staying there. Getting a lil tired of upgrading , downgrading. Next thing u known you've killed your phone.

If ur having reboot problems then good luck hope it works.

ZVB runs slower than both ZVC and ZVD. There is also a newer baseband version with ZVD, it makes the radios more efficient (less power drain). Upgrading your ROM also will not kill your phone.

Will all the ROMs be compatible? If so i might try it out and see if i like it better but what about down grading? Any info on that yet?
 
Everything good here. Anyone having issues flashing the custom kernels? I get stock at the metropcs screen after flashing the plagues 1.8 ghz one
