I've been trying for so long to get this new ROM for LG Esteem, I think the name is esteem extreme. I get into boot recovery or CWM or what ever its called and I go to the zip file and says Yes - Install GSE-1.5-signed-1.zip I click and then says Installing /emmc/GSE-1.5-signed-1.zip
Finding update package
Opening update package
E: Can't open /eemc/GSE-1.5-signed-1.zip
(bad)
Installation Aborted

:( Please help really wanting to try new ROM:D

[CWM][ROOT][RZR] Root & Recovery AIO
I am in no way responsible for what you do to your phone. Use at your own risk!

At long last we now have a custom recovery for the LG Esteem, actually make that 2 recoveries, Clockworkmod and Raidzero. Both are Release Candidates and still have a couple of minor issues to be worked out yet.

USB Mass Storage doesnt work on either recovery yet.
Factory reset from settings doesnt work correctly, do it from CWM.


Both zips contain scripts for windows and linux, just download to your pc, unzip, and run the appropriate one for your OS. Both zips are All In One, meaning it will root and install CWM or RZR in one step.

Download zip to your computer
Unzip zip
turn on and put into Internet connection mode
Make sure debugging is enabled in settings > applications > development.
Connect phone to computer via USB cable
run the install script for your OS


Booting into recovery with the button combo is a lil tricky (gonna work on this) vol +- and power from power off, it will boot to the LG Reset screen, press power 3 times, dont freak out, it wont erase your data , and then recovery will appear. Some ROMs are already in the works n will be ready soon, one including reboot to recovery options in the power menu.


Button Combo: VOL +- and POWER, press power 3x at LG Reset Screen.
App - Quick Boot
App - ROM Manager - no other features will work until CWM is submitted and officially built with RM support by koush.

NOTE: Root doesnt work for the ZVC update, just ZVA and ZVB, but the root method will be updated as soon as one that works is available.


Now for the goods

CWM RC
RZR RC

NOTE: I will be updating RZR as I get the few issues left fixed, but after that I wont be supporting it due to what all I already have on my plate. It is a nice recovery tho with a ton of features. Not for the novice or complete n00b IMO tho

CWM RC
 
I didn't have time to read through everything but as Playful said to use your computer to download the rom/kernal then transfer it to your sd card. I had trouble when I downloaded it through my phone and I would notice that the size of the downloaded file/folder/zip wasn't big enough. I also tried with using wifi and 4g

do it from ur pc
 
Once you have installed ClockworkMod Recovery onto your device, you can go ahead and immediately back-up your current stock ROM in case of any bad outcome which is rare but just in case. Then go right into installing GSE. Since you are already rooted, it'll take you literally 120minutes to download and install ClockworkMod Recovery and GSE. Let us know of any problems, questions or concerns you may have.
