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

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.
My friend has a bionic that he flashed the leak where he didn't have to be rooted is there a way he can go back to stock latest gingerbread firmware and wait til it its officially released? He's having to much problems with it.

FXZ to .902 using RSDLite, then take OTA to get back to .905.
What problems?
I haven't heard anything negative at all about the leaks before this.
Also needing to FXZ back to stock from ICS leak 2233
I also flashed to ICS from. 905. I love ICS and have had absolutely zero problems with the leak version but I need to go back to 905 via 902 to get ready for the OTA update. I have rsdlite but need a "working" link to the FXZ file for 902. I was observing a thread in the development section but that link went to fileserve with a message that it was pulled because of copyright violation. Hopefully I can find the right file and avoid bricking during my jump back to Ginger.

I have a droid bionic that i rooted and installed CWM via bootstrap. We were on 905 and i tried to flash different ICS roms and now i just get the motorola logo and it doesnt do anything. I cant get back into CWM, what do i need to do?
You are going to need to fxz .905 from a computer using rsd lite. There are links for the files somewhere in these threads. If I can find them I will post links for you. To use the ics leak roms you will need to install a leak first. Recommend .232 or lower so you can still go back to .905 if something goes wrong
#unseen
While running the RSD lite process it stops at 6/22 does anyone know why this would happen?
you are trying to go back to .905...from what?
If you're on ICS or jb you can't go back to 905. If you're on ICS, flash the ICS fxz. If you want jb, flash the jb fxz. Rooting jb is more involved if you're not into Linux, but if you had updated to jb you can't go back to ICS.

This is really a thread? I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but this isn't exactly a secret that you can't do it. You may want to read through the other posts before trying to do anything else.

There's no point in OTA updating when the FXZ files for ICS and JB are out, and you already have RSDLite. Also root methods are available for all OTA's. Just FXZ yourself to the place you need to be.
