Root 2013 Root LG Enlighten GB 2.3.4 VS700ZV5 & ClockworkMod - VS700

I went through and tried this, and when I run Poot, after I'd downloaded and installed several additional things, I get
A demon materialized while pooting. Error code: 64
I reboot and check for root- Poot thinks it is, but rootchecker says it's not. I also can't run SuperSU or superuser, so I think it's not... any help on how to get poot to root? LG-Enlighten android 2.3.4 vs700zv5 kernel 2.6.35.7+

Help???

Edit- Success! The bad news.. I'm not entirely sure how I did it. I downloaded every version of poot I could find (6!) and ran all of them one by one. One quit with a fatal error immediately, 3 others gave me error 64 as above, and 2 gave me an error 22 and said rooting was unsuccessful. I just ran all 6 one after the other, and then restarted the phone out of frustration. I ran Superuser just to see if anything worked.. and it was rooted! Rootcheck verified it. I have renamed system/etc/security/otacerts.zip as warned.
Now to free up some space. I've never had a rooted phone before- how do I get rid of all the built-in apps I don't want? Anyone have custom ROMs?

Lots of missing instructions on this tutorial!

1. "su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
cd /system/bin
chmod 777 flash_image
flash_image recovery /sdcard/BobZhome_VM701_recovery.img
reboot recovery"

THIS WONT WORK DUE TO ANDROIND NOT RECOGNIZING THE "CP" COMMAND! YOU ALSO NEED TO DO THIS ON A PC USING THE SDK WHICH INCUDES ADB,FASTBOOT,DRIVERS !!!

2. the command "reboot recovery/adb reboot recovery" does not work on the LG Enlighten! Another omitted instruction was how to enter the bootloader using the buttons. This is your only way to the recovery!

3. Missing instructions on how to deal with the "permission denied" errors people are getting.

4. The clockwork recovery image also does not work. The stock bootloader still overrides it ! Flashing it does nothing!


Author can you please explain in more detail on how to set this all up and also correct the problems in this tutorials? Thanks !
