Root {GUIDE x2} Update to ZVD/Root ZVD

How did get back to B from D? Was it not worth it?



Just downgraded, i was only testing the thing froze on me for no reason couldn't do anything but a hard shutdown. didn't notice much of a difference from b. i didn't have problems on B. so I'm back on it and happy.


Hopefully those who were having problems with booting and anything else have better luck. :p

EDIT after tons of re-try's it finally saw my phone. Updating now....

Ok, cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.

Installed latest drivers
Downloaded and installed update program

run it
plug in phone
it still says "disconnected"

I have tried it in "internet only" mode, charging only mode, and in mass storage mode. What am I doing wrong?

Enable USB debugging in settings/applications and turn on internet mode. Make sure you are using the correct drivers too, there's a couple different sets.

EDIT: This is the correct driver package. The ones LG has listed under MetroPCS are not the correct ones for the Esteem.

Saw the same thing. I just installed the USB Drivers and still didn't work, but keep on re-doing it.

Also put in USB Debugging Mode and Internet Mode also and it should try to recognizes it. If it doesnt keep on redoing over.
I'm at 99% Install waiting on COMPLETE SOFTWARE UPDATE.
