Its keeps telling me unable to find device, just goes through every step saying that can't find device. I have followed every step and am stuck. Thus is my girls phone so I only have access to it when I'm with her.

OK I guess I did miss something, iv read a lot about doing something to the build.prop, I didn't change it. But I followed all the other steps though and I am stuck at rooted stock, unable to boot into cwm. Is there a way to still get into cwm?

The link works fine for me. Try it again and see if it works for you.

Yes, it works now. Thanks.

It appears that there is a ZV9 OTA out now. I have frozen Software Update until we know more about it. Will you be updating this to allow the ZV9 while keeping root?

There is another root method that works for zv8 and the zv9 update don't have the link right now but it was made for the esteem. It's in the dev section somewhere

Easiest way to keep root through ZV8???

I've read 40 posts and it's nothing but complaints and troubles.

This doesn't even seem worth the effort if I have to go through 30 other steps to get the phone to work.

Also, it would be nice if OP would update OP to include fixes that are mentioned throughout the thread, instead of having to read through the whole thing to fix things.

Just a note I thought I'd add.

Look at the link above. That 1 Click Method will root V8 and V9 and you don't have to downgrade. Cwm to follow..

OP doesn't have this phone anymore and is still helping out when I can. Do you want it gift wrapped for you while I'm at it? It is best for you to read the whole thread anyway. I don't see what can be easier to keep root through an update than being on zv7, flashing a zip in cwm, and updating to zv8 and having root.

I have updated and am rooted with ZV8. I ran the .bat file to get CWM, and this is what it tells me:

I tried rebooting to recovery using option 2, but got a similar message. Any ideas?

Nevermind! I figured it out. haha! I am an idiot....

Works great! Thanks MT!

So, please forgive me for what I imagine are worse than n00b questions, but...

I've seen people saying data should be wiped before flashing the zip file mt provided (I'm assuming flashing the zip means selecting "install zip from sdcard", right?), but in CWM Recovery I see two wipe options. One is terrifyingly labeled "wipe data/factory reset" (sounds to my ignorant ears as if this would undo everything I've done up to this point, but what do I know?) and the other is labeled "wipe cache partition" (which is the one I'm inclined to choose). Am I right in my assumptions here?

Thanks,
An Ubern00b (subn00b?)

P.S.
I'm thinking of writing a true hand-holding guide to this process once I've successfully gotten to v8 w/ root and BO. While I imagine this is a cakewalk for anyone practiced in rooting/rom'ing, for someone who's truly unfamiliar with this kind of thing, pulling all the pieces together and doing all the preparation and steps and doing them in the right order is actually not so easy. Partially because there is bad info out there on other forums. For instance, I was told flashing CWM on the Revo using the Esteem option would work. FML...
