You are going to need to down grade SW Version ZVB. the process is in the All Things Root section for the Esteem. If you don't do it horrible slow then it can be done within 30 minutes. Let me know if u have any questions during that. Also let me know when it done. wsler, still waiting on ur SW Version.

I also need a dummies guide to rooting, installing a custom ROM and making a backup of the stock rom. I am on ZVB; never updated. I checkout the root guides but finding it complicated. Is there a more detailed description for the previously mentioned?

Welcome to AF :)

Its really not all that complicated. Only way to make it even easier is to do it for people :D

But Just download download the CWR from the CWR AIO thread, download it, right click it and select "Extract". Then plug your phone into the computer and go to settings>applications>development and check the box next to debugging, then pull down your status bar and press usb notification and select "Internet mode" then on your computer open the file you downloaded and extracted and double click "install cwr"

Thanks for the info that does seem simple. Just to clarify some things.

I am assuming CWR is the Clockwork recovery. Does what you suggested encompass rooting, installing a custom ROM and making a backup of the stock rom.

I was reading the install for gingersteem extreme:
) Download the .zip & copy to phone or sdcard (make sure 4g is enabled if dl'd from phone). no problem there.
2.) Zip can be installed from either internal or external sd in CWM how does CWM install.
3.) MAKE A BACKUP HOW?
4.) WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET!!! (You do not need to wipe if already on GingerSteem!) simple enough from the stock rom. Is this the same on a custom ROM?
5.) Go to install zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard ok
6.) Select GSE-1.5-signed.zip ok
7.) Do not wipe data after flashing!!! ok
8.) Reboot!
9.) To Block Carrier Logging Requires Reboot After Initial Boot carrier logging??

Aside from bricking the phone what are the dangers are there. I like most have the rebooting problem and have been waiting for an update. Will I be able to update in the future once a custom ROM is installed.
