You can root using the LG Esteem method, it doesn't install cwm but you will get root.

Last night I checked for software updates for my Revolution and saw there was one to update to VS910ZV7 but after I download the update it boots to the Clockworkmod screen. I've tried to apply update from SD but there is no file in there. I try to reboot and it tells me that the update failed or imcomplete. I have rooted the phone and still have the stock rom, V6. Am I doing something wrong? Do I even need this update?
I'm new to this forum and this is my first post so please be gentle lol.
V7 updates you to gingerbread if you want the update you have to put stock recovery back on the phone.

Thanks for the info. I'm assuming if we get ICS I would need to do the same.

Correct.
Here you can flash the update directly using these instructions:

Or you can flash a stock rom and do an OTA update.
I couldn't wait so I flashed the TOT immediately. Gingerbread makes the Revolution better. I'm curious to see ICS on it.
Appreciate the help. I was hoping there was a way to do it directly from the phone but doesn't look like I can. I'll give it a try when I get home.
Just curious though. Can I update it from the LG website? If not that's cool too.

You must be rooted to be able to Safestrap. I haven't gone through the Razr JB upgrade threads but I hope Rootkeeper works becuse I would not want to wait for a root method to be discovered.

To be on the safe side I would root then use OTA Rootkeeper, you may have to wait a while to get root and it will drive you crazy.
Did that on my tablet updating from ics to jb and install kept failing. Ill safely update then work on root myself. Rest assured all goes well and someone doesnt beat me too it i will be posting.

When using vodoo... does one have to simply click protect root and then update or is there more to it...
Sent from my DROID4 using xda app-developers app
To successfully maintain root and install the OTA do the following
Root Phone
Install VooDoo OTA RootKeeper
Update SuperUser binaries (from within the SU app
Open VooDoo and "Protect Root"
Then tap on "Temp Unroot"
Install OTA
Install VooDoo
Restore root
So... I forgot to do all this... I hope there is a root for jb coming soon still have su just no root...

First things first, I am a Noob.. I have an ATT LG Thrill 4G that a friend has given me. It's hardlocked. I was told that rooting and flashing the ROM to Factory Origin, would remove the hardlock. However, I have tried every way mentioned in all the threads, tried SuperOneclick, Megatron, Unlock Root Pro and a few others. However, my phone just does not want to root.. Any help/sugestions would greatly be appreciated.
What os are you using? I
