Root [ROOT] For LG Esteem ZVC!!!

Hey guys, I'm having a lot of trouble figuring this out and it's bugging the heck out of me! Lol I just spent a couple of hours trying to root my phone, installed the drivers then uninstall and reinstall after no success and I keep getting the same message. Says it's not recognizing ADB, I have debug on and internet on as well. Turned my phone on and off, what am I doing wrong? Should I plug my phone while drivers are installing? Any help is really appreciated. :-)

Drivers install most times by just connecting phone to PC..

Do we have a direct way to CWM from cold boot? Like a battery pull into a button combo?

yes there Is hold both volume buttons down while holding down the power button once the lg logo comes on let go thu power button but keep hold the volume buttons its gonna ask u to reset just hit the power button twice

but before anything u must have cwm installed
 
Every time I get this:
[*] Press enter to root your phone...[*][*] Waiting for device...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

When I plug it into my Mac, I get "The disk you inserted is not readable by this computer." I only get the options to Ignore or Eject. If I eject, it pops up every 3 seconds with the same thing. It goes away if I hit Ignore. When I try again:

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
cannot bind 'tcp:5037'
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
error: cannot connect to daemon
[*] Rebooting again...
error: device not found
[*] Waiting for reboot...
error: protocol fault (no status)
[*] Installing root tools...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
[*] Cleaning up...
error: device not found
error: device not found
[*] Rebooting one last time...
error: device not found

Yes drivers are installed and i am in debug/internet connection mode. i did have to install the JDK and ADB kits and some things for ADB were not installed just the base kit. I am now trying to install everything maybe that works but I am open to ideas. I'm hoping to root before the 2 week return policy on this expires (I got it at letstalk.com - $279) just in case I screw this up.
