Root question about ZVD

[SuPaKiLaMaGiLa]

So i have not rooted my lg esteem yet. and i am currently running ZVC. So if i wanted to update to ZVD would it be beneficial? Also ZVD is a stock rom correct? Thanks for your time.

i should also mention that i am very much interested in debloating my phone so any suggestions to which would be the best route to take with what i have currently would be helpful also. should i stick with a ZVC rom or update to ZVD??

From ZVC to ZVD would defiantly be a noticeable improve for you. Now that there are a few ZVD roms available the manual task of removing bloatware is gone.

ZVC is garbage.

Update to ZVD and start your journey of rooting, rom'ing and theme'ing.

You only have to root if you want to
It will be stock if you factory reset after the upgrade to D.

I updated my phone to the stock zvd rom as soon as I got it and I haven't had the same problems as other users with the older roms. I'm happy with the phone and think its great, especially after rooting and trying a couple of the newer ZVD roms. The guide that Fuzzy posted is perfect to get you started.
I'm running the the Broken out 1.1 rom, ZVD version

thats my recommendation as a new esteem user and going through the same thing.

Is your phone on internet connection and NOT mass storage under USB settings?

Drivers are installed on your computer?


Go back and READ the directions carefully because something isn't connected right.
