I take no credit for discovering the root, this thread is simply for informational purposes only.

The usual: You are solely responsible for what happens to your phone as a result of using this guide

1. First 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

2. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY, do a master/hard reset after updating to ZVD

3. Download the root:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51753039/LG_Esteem_Root_v2_Windows.zip
I confirmed this working. I've personally used it and it works!

4. Now download Rom Manager from the Play Store (Android Market) and install CWM.

5. If successful up until now, M-A-K-E__A__B-A-C-K-U-P

6. Now you might want to go around and flash a few kernels and what not.
These two are confirmed working:

-Homeless kernel (kanaida.homeles.v1.3.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download)

-Plague's 2.2 with hdmi fix (http://unleashedprepaids.com/media/phones/esteem/Plague-Extreme_2.2_signed.zip)

Will add more kernels once you guys test them and report them as working.

7. Now is time for the themes. I don't use one personally so past this point whatever happens you had a back up so if the ZVC themes don't work you can go back to stock ZVD. Although I heard all ZVC themes work on ZVD

8. Roms? i haven't tested one yet. Don't use them, i like stock

. Post away and let me know what works.

THANKS TO:
-This awesome site
-Dan Rosenberg (for the root)
-PG and Kanaida for the kernels
-Gbiggie (for his guide on the update)
-joshadaniels04 (for allowing me to post this guide instead of him lol, and for being and active users' helper)
-djlucklu (for providing working Proof of ZVD IJ ICS 1.3)
If i missed any one speak up and state why you should be thanked

Thanks it worked now I need my custom rom and custom kernel back which I could get from Rom Manager right? I really appreciate all of you guys

working kernels are on the first post and one confirmed working ROM. anything else you try you're "on your own" sort of speak. Test and report back. do a back up first!

I know I've been seeing that all day, tell them how to fix it and they still don't get it right.

5thMARVEL93 · March 8th, 2012, 10:47 PM

Would it be a good idea if i backup my apps then do a hard reset?

should have backed them up before you upgraded, but you can still do it after

mike28 · March 8th, 2012, 10:57 PM

I am all set I get confused because I was running gingeresteem with Kanaida 1.3 kernel after th VCD update I of course deleted it all bloat now I want to get back at the ROM and kernel I had and that is where I get confused do I need to install it from scratch again or will I just use Rom Manager and install from there or from my sd card?

I'd wait on using any custom roms till they get everything straightened out. how ever if you want to do that, if you had it backed up, you can just use the backup.

Yeah it's best to wait

Rickinfl · March 9th, 2012, 01:56 AM

Ok I'm having a issue. I upgraded to ZVD and I followed the instructions above to root. I put the root zip file on the SD card. I downloaded Rom Manager and tried to install CWM and it fails saying "An Error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands"

Did I make a wrong turn somewhere? lol

Mate, you are going to want to run the root from the computer.

Blind2Haters · March 9th, 2012, 04:17 AM

Any word if Plague 1.8 or 2.0 are in play?

Fuzzy13 · March 9th, 2012, 05:14 AM

Running LD-ICK and rebooting with no problems. ZVC Roms are working just make sure you backup first and erase after installing ZVD and do a fresh install.

gbiggie · March 9th, 2012, 06:16 AM

Excellent post! Request add to all things root sticky

After you upgrade to "d" and then deleting stuff and some how you messed up, is there a way to force the lg update "d" again some how?

Thanks.

morgankslade · March 9th, 2012, 07:27 AM

So CWM backups before D update are of no use now. Is that correct?

I want to say, once ur rooted any back ups regardless of the version should work. My girls og droid was 2.2 i think from factory, i flashed cm7 which was 2.3 and i was able to always go back to my stock 2.2 and start fresh. Any testers lol

MT wants it for sure though. he created a thread about it too.

root it man, mine works lol. i think ppl are having problems bcz they're using the wrong exploit (like the very first one), if you follow the steps on my thread, youll be fine. as a matter of fact, if you brick, come down to florida and ill personally crack a box and give you a new one lmao

kernels:
plague's 2.2 works, and so does homeless 1.3

roms:
only one confirmed, read up the first post on my thread

aawshads · March 9th, 2012, 08:15 AM

Updated, rerooted and went back to using GSE II, no issues to report, also no real plusses except for the new radios. I'll keep playing with it.

Did you go back to a GSE II back up you had or did you flash GSE II over ZVD? there is a difference

danyvw · March 9th, 2012, 08:43 AM

Which kernel does GSE II has?

I really want to play safe this time, gonna wait for PG and MT for a ZVD kernel and/or ROM before upgrading.

djlucklu · March 9th, 2012, 09:38 AM

Proof #2 Just updated from 1,3 to 1.7

LX · March 9th, 2012, 09:42 AM

i just restored a ZVB back up (it showed ZVD), unrooted and restored stock recovery image, rerooted and installed cwm again, and restored my ZVD back up. Once again, i can confirm everything works.

Fuzzy13 · March 9th, 2012, 11:57 AM

So GSE2 is confirmed working? LDK is confirmed working on my end. Benchmark wasn't NO WHERE NEAR what I was getting when I had GSE on ZVB so Im thinking about going back that route. Just wanna make sure it's good first.

Fuzzy13 · March 9th, 2012, 02:13 PM

I can comfirm GSE2 working on ZVD as well as LD-ICK.

For the record, GSE2 with ICK theme kills LD-ICK. SOOO much better.
