Hey guys, Seasons greetings to you all. I just want to say AF is the best. I learned everything i know about Android here. Thanks to all the Devs and Mods and especially the Noobs. You ask the questions I'm afraid to ask :eek:.
So here is the issue with me. Just ordered my Esteem from wirefly and i want to give my rooted Optimus M to my son with all current apps minus my gmail account and phone number number. How to correctly do this when i transfer my number to my Esteem without losing everything on the optimus M. should i just back up everything un-root and then re root, after i transfer his number over from his Ascend.:thinking: ...and there's my noob question:(. If all goes correct i should have my Esteem by Friday. Again, much thanks to the community.

Hey guys, I finally got my Esteem from Wirefly yesterday. i ordered before January 1st so i got it for the $249:D. I rooted this morning using one click root link i found on the forum. I was really scared about bricking but it worked:p. i really am in debt to you guys.I'm on ZVB and I've heard people had their hanset updated OTA and lost root. How can i prevent that? Which is the best recovery rom to install? Hit me back when you can. I got the Verizon REV's case for it because I couldn't get a decent Trident. Amazons sold out.

I also switched from optimus m last month and i love the esteem, but I prefer the cwm recovery you could have downloaded the recovery and installed it seeing how it has root+ recovery. I'm just more familiar with it I used it on my optimus m unofficial with flash image or sumin like that but it was worth the wait for it thanks to the devs our phone is steadily improving
