this is for the revo VZ6 users who don't want to update to Gingerbread and have all the bloat GB comes with and don't want to do a downgrade to VZ4 with LGNST but still want root access, cwm, and flash roms
Thanx to Mtmichaelson and djrbliss for creating this root for the Lg Esteem that also works for the Revo VZ6 Froyo and VZ7 GB
Mtmichaelson post somewhere on the LG Revo forum that it'll work on VZ6 so i gave it a try
I was on the VZ4 running Revolt 1.5 and when GB was pushed OTA last night i use LGNST to upgrade to stock VZ6 then tried the LG Esteem root method and got rooted within 1-3 minutes, it auto reboot my revo after root is complete, i'm rooted using the app " Root Check " to comfirmed
then install revotoolkit to get CWM and flash Revolt 1.5 and it worked flawlessly
here's the link to the LG Esteem root method
http://androidnerds.net/2011/10/08/lg-esteem-oneclickroot-now-ready/
just follow the directions and install the drivers if you have any issues rooting
i did this on win7 64bit pc so i'm not sure if others would work
NOTE: i'm posting this not to take away any credits from the devs that worked so hard to help us.
i'm posting this just to share the info i've found and works so it'll be easier for other revo members to look for answers
Good Luck

Hi all.
I am wondering if someone might be able to recommend a ROM for my wife's AU P970. I have some flashing/unlocking experience with my HTC Desire HD, and my current Motorola Atrix though there were some very straight forward guides available for me to follow.
The reason I am looking for a new ROM is that my wife's P970 often freezes/lags and has a lot of Bluetooth audio issues.
Are there any beginner guides available for the P970?
Appreciate any help/advice.
Thanks,
callsignapollo
just use search and u'll find rom 2.3.4 oficial with root
I have a Virgin AU Black working on V2.3.4 root that others refer to on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441901 you will need to root your phone first and install Rom Manager in order to install.
Or you can use the factory KDZ update v2.3.4 and not have a rooted phone.
Both are great options. I have a non rooted - but custom install of the KDZ official ROM on my other P970 and both work great with my bluetooth.
I have a Australian BMW E39 with the BMW bluetooth system http://www.bimmernav.com/e39.html and both phones work flawlessly with the Bluetooth system.
There is no difference between the function on an Virgin or Vodophone AU phone using the generic firmwares mentioned above.
Again, if you are ok to root your phone, go with the zip install. If you are not comfortable rooting then go with the KDZ install. KDZ can be found with the LG KDZ upgrade tool

Thank you. How did you root your P970?
Since it is not my phone I would prefer to root and use CWM for simplicity.
there are many options available for rooting

Gingerbreak different Versions
SuperOneClick 2.3.3
Blackjack 1.2.0
SoC
unlockroot
z4root
vipermod
thrill
doomlord
androidnerds.net/2011/10/08/lg-esteem-oneclickroot-now-ready/
Gingersnap Root Utility
If it is not your phone, I would go with the factory firmware upgrade KDZ install. Do a search on how to there are many step by step instructions
I had to get a new phone since mine broke and it has the zv8 update already and I want to root so what is the easiest way to go back to zv7 so I can root and flash a custom rom
Download LGNPST from here http://tazr.net/lgrevo/ along with the vs910.dll file and the lg revo AIO and the zv7 gingerbread. Then use LGNPST to bring you back to zv7 then use the AIO to root then if you want to re-update the phone make a local.prop file in data with "ro.kernel.qemu=1" in it then do the OTA update then download the AIO ZV8 and use Option 2 then you'll have CWM and then you can flash the new Broken Out 1.1 rom

This thread ought to help with that a little bit. It has specific directions for flashing back to zv7 or earlier. You might need to do some digging in the replies if you use win7 64bit on your desktop. There are a few issues with it.

Oh no... this is just to hard for me. Too many step.
finally found a way to root my LG 2x P990.
superoneclick did not work for 2.3.4
neither did gingerbreak.
what did work was a program called unlock root 1.2
just thought i would share
Thanks
SuperOneClick v2.3.3-ShortFuse worked for my P990. Although it could be necessary to remove your microSD-card. Don't know why but it helps.
Thanks for the sharing
Hi,
Finally, I was able to root my LG O2X easily using Unlock Root, been searching for root method for my O2X after upgrading to 2.3.4, luckily I able to found one after all...
now I got my Superuser apps there with the root access, so I am up to higher level mods for my O2X
Thanks for the sharing
BTW, for those looking for the apps, here is the link: unlockroot.com
yeah. for some reason 2.3.4 GB. wouldnt get past step #7 no matter what i tried using superoneclick 2.3.3
first time bang done on "Unlock Root 1.2"
good to know right.
Thanks, Gingerbread 2.3.4 stock ROM with SpuerOneClic 2.3.3.0 said it rooted but it wasn't.
Tried unlocked root 2.2.1 and worked perfectly.

Flash v7 using the LGPNST and TOT file. Then root, then follow these instructions

then update to v8
Good luck. You have about 2hrs worth of stuff ahead of you to bring you current with root.

I tried and tried to find a way to root my Lg Thrill 4G. I tried all of the options on the thread "Thrill 4G SuperOneClick 2.2 (EASY ROOT)", but I was still unable to root my phone. Here are the specs for my phone and the steps I took to successfully root my device:
Model Number: LG-P925
Android Version: 2.3.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7+
Build Number: GRJ90
Software Version: LGP925-V20p-FEB-22-2012
I found a forum with a windows command (CMD) program that rooted my phone. I can't post the link because I am still a junior member here.I found the link on theunlockr. I have attempted to attach the file below.
All credit goes to VulnFactory. All I did was find this. I take no credit or responsibility for the program. AS I HOPE EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS, ROOTING YOUR PHONE VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY, AND YOU RUN THE RISK OF BRICKING YOUR PHONE IF YOU ATTEMPT TO ROOT. NEITHER I NOR VulnFactory ARE LIABLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE AFTER USING THIS PROGRAM.
I made sure I had the current LG drivers installed, disabled the LG Modem device in the Windows Device Manager, Enabled USB Debugging in my phone, and ran the program with my phone powered on and connected to my laptop. The program did the rest (and it did take a while).
I now have SuperUser permissions and am able to install apps such as SetCPU and Titanium Backup.
I hope this helps someone like me out there who had no idea how to overcome problems with superoneclick for the LG Thrill. I tried superoneclick 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1, and 2.3.3 and had no sucess. I kept getting stuck at step 7 of the shell root process. This worked for me and I hope it works for you too.
How did u update the lg thrill to gingerbread

Upgrade to gb using the lg tool just Google it and you'll find it. Via a pc/laptop of course. And and an easy simple no hassle way to root is using megatron root for thrill
