I'm going to preface my post with saying thank you very much to everyone that has worked so hard on this project, and for those that are patient with people like me, who are completely lost. I've read through most of the posts in this thread, along with several other threads and sites, and I am failing miserably at installing the Cyanogenmod.
First of all, I have had no problem rooting my LG Motion. But I have several questions about the instructions from the OP.
Download the .zip & copy to phone or sdcard (make sure 4g or wifi is enabled if dl'd from phone).
Done, no problem. I copied both the cm-10 and gapps zips to my phone's internal SD card. However, these files are erased during my factory reset, so why is this the first step? I can only assume I'm doing something wrong already.
Zip can be installed from either internal or external sd in CWM (Which ever you copied it too!)
I'm assuming CWM stands for the Clockwordmod app. But when I install it, the LG Motion model isn't listed as a supported model. Other threads have said to install the LTE2 2nd-init Recovery app, but the OP clearly states "NOTE for the ILLITERATE/LAZY: DO NOT INSTALL the LTE RECOVERY WITH CM10!!! IT HAS BEEN SAID TO BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!!! A 2nd-init recovery is included already (subject to be removed) in CM10." So this step just confuses me completely.
No problem here.
DO A FACTORY RESET!!! - this will wipe data & cache!
I did this, and got this image:

Go to install zip from sdcard.
Choose zip from sdcard
Select cm-10-xxxxxxxxxx-UNOFFICIAL-l0.zip
Confirm
I did all of these steps by selecting the zip file from the ES File Explorer app. The files extracted fine to a folder with the same name of the zip file. Is that correct?
Repeat Steps 5 -8 for gapps
The gapps files extracted fine. Are they supposed to go in the same extract folder as the cm-10-xxxxxxxxxx-UNOFFICIAL-l0.zip files, or in a folder of their own?
Done, and the phone looks like it's completely stock. No changes from out of the box, except that I do still have Root Access.
I'm very sorry for being so difficult, but if some kind soul would be willing to help, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks in advance.
