Re: [How-To] Manual Rooting of LS670ZVH/ZVJ (+ links to root ZVD/ Nevermind! Rebooted my Mac and all is back to normal. Phew! Thanks again for all the help. I'm pretty pumped to have my first nandroid backup as well. :)

Re: [How-To] Manual Rooting of LS670ZVH/ZVJ (+ links to root ZVD/ Everything seemed to work great! ...Except now my phone isn't registering the USB connection to my computer? In Setings > Wireless & Network Settings I don't see USB settings, either. Any ideas?

Re: [How-To] Manual Rooting of LS670ZVH/ZVJ (+ links to root ZVD/ Actually, I'd like to run the stock rom for now. Looks like the automatic rooting method does use the ZVJ recovery. Would that be recommended in this case? (I'll have to find a PC, I think...)

Re: [How-To] Manual Rooting of LS670ZVH/ZVJ (+ links to root ZVD/ This is probably obvious, but since this method was originally intended as a ZVH root, is there a ZVJ recovery that should be used in step 3 instead of the ZVH recovery? I don't remember needing to flash anything when I rooted...

Oh, that makes more sense.... But yes, I've rebooted, started up the shell again, and typed su. It just hangs for a bit, then returns "Permission denied"

Balls. I've now successfully rooted five times on my Mac within Terminal, but the root refuses to "stick" on exit. (See terminal output below. Note: After first "exit" command, the prompt returns from "#" to "$".) From this thread, it seems at least two people went through similar problems, but...

Excellent. I see you posted the semi-auto root (above). What's the process for using those files? (Please forgive me if that seems like a ridic question. I'm also on a Mac, so the whole system is that much more foreign...)

I've read, re-read, and read the instructions again (and a few dozen other posts on the topic)... I think I'm ready to root! (The first time is always scary, no?) My one newb question before pulling the plug on Sprint ID forever (thank you, lord) -- Do I need to backup anything before...
