Root If I want to factory reset without unrooting

[Modman]

The easy return to stock link appears to be broken. Just need a link to the lg esteem stockimage . Zip also will flashing it unroot me. I have cwm installed. I know privacy factory reset might brick me. I may try some custom roms. But I just want to be on a stock rooted image in order to remove my Google play account. Can I remain rooted and just flash the stock image with cwm?

You should be able to flash a stock ZVC ROM, then unroot it, THEN use the LG updater tool to go back to ZVD stock(if you want)

I haven't tried it myself, but that rom is the closest you'll get to stock (besides the fact its deodexed)
EDIT:
Or you can just follow this easy stock/unroot giude
