You MUST have this step (install CWMA or stock V9 recovery) completed if you want to preserve your ability to root. You will
NOT have permanent root at the end of this step (because you will lose root when you upgrade to VD). You
WILL, however, be set up to have success following the rooting thread instructions.
If you don't care about root and just want to run stock V9, you can skip this step completely.
Root your phone, install Xionia CWMA custom recovery, and use LG Mobile Support Tool to install LS670ZVD. Directions
here (Part 2, skip the first step). Installing Xionia CWMA custom recovery (or stock V9 recovery, or any custom recovery) will preserve your ability to root after updating to LS670ZVD. Installing LS670ZVD using the LG Mobile Support Tool will get you the latest stock VD Android and VD radio/baseband while keeping your existing CWMA custom recovery. After that you can choose to stick with stock VD Android or update to your favorite VC or VD-based ROM.
If you are a more advanced user who doesn't need specific instructions, you can save some steps by jumping to step 2 of the alternate method in the reference section below.
