Is there any definitive guide around? I managed to get root, but goomanager is down and i have no idea how to get TWRP onto the phone. I also would like to see guide on flashing to ND4 (If i even need to for AV 1.0?) If you could answer any of my questions thatd be awesome. Thanks.

Head on over to the official Victory thread at vmroms dot com. There you'll find everything you'll need. Recovery wise, lemme find u a working link... The latest recovery is not 100% usable yet due to the lack of selinux support...

Edit: getting to ND4 is also easy... Just go to settings and check for an update and it'll download and install. You just need to have ALL system items/apps and stock kernel and recovery. You should also retain your root during the update
