LG Esteem OTA update from metrpcs?

Hello everybody.
Todays morning I recieved a voice mesage from metro saying that I will get on august 11th a software update that will improve my 4g and phone.
Have anybody installed or received this update voa OTA?
I think is somethink good for us esteem users.
Hi chegarcia, I too received that message, though I think it said by Aug 11.

I think its the ZVE baseband update. My phone tried to get that several weeks ago but with custom rom and recovery it failed to install. I just updated using lg updater.

You are correct its the zve . When i spoke to them they told me that the corporate store can do this update . But its 3ways . One ota over the air . From the corporate store and you can do this from your home with the lg tool . Metro is telling lies and stories about this update . They want u to bring it in and waste your time and get into your business. But the corporate store near me said its not out yet they haven't sent him the cd . Me being noisy asking him what cd and if we need the cd . His answer was no . :eek::D the cd is a newer lg update tool. So if u have this update tool erase it. Delete it:eek::what: yes get rid of it and download the new lg tool from the LG WEBSITE . make sure you click on the first METRO PCS. and download all drivers :eek::eek: even if you prompted that u have get the new drivers . . But this update is the zve .

I too received this voice mail this morning and I'm worried that its just a refresh to software I already have. Last time I updated it totally killed my ROM and reset it to factory/bloatware.

So I went and rooted it again and luckily found a fresh ZVE compatible ROM. (I HATE bloatware).

So far the ZVE seems to give me a smidge better reception but it could just be me.

So should I update and risk locking out my ROM or is this a ZVE 1.1?
