What's the process to go to the VC update...I'm coming from ThundeRom 1.6.2 right now. I think I missed something because I thought that update was causing people to lose root. Please someone explain. thanks.

Check out the Idiots Guide to using the LG Software updater for LS670ZVC! thread for VC update help.
Please see my post about 4 or 5 posts back in this thread

Hi Maxximus! I think what he was asking (and I am kind of wondering the same thing) is that there are people posting that they are successfully using the LG updater tool to update to VC, then installing TR-1.7 for VC from 1.6.2 with custom recovery and once it is installed they have root and everything is working fine. I must admit with all the different posts and methods I am still a bit befuddled, which is why for the moment I am still at 1.6.2
The lg update tool does not touch the recovery partition, so moving from tr or lego rom to baseband vc using the lg tool does not require you to unroot or revert back to any previous version, and there is no need to reroot. it seems that the people having trouble are the ones trying to take the long way around by unrooting and reverting to v9 etc. etc. if you already have a custom recovery in place this should be very straightforward.

Yes you can. See post #1760 in this thread for the steps I took. I am posting this from my phone and everything is working fine.
I had a custom recovery already in place. Was using TR 1.6.2, V9. Downloaded TR 1.7 but only put it at the root of my sd card..did not zip. Made a nandroid backup. Updated via LG tool. Let the phone reboot. My custom recovery was nowhere to be found and I have lost root. So, I guess it could be worse. I could have the dreaded LG symbol and a bricked phone. I am so mad at myself for doing it right now. I should have left well enough alone because I had successfully rooted and had my phone the way it was before this stupid VC update. C'est la vie.
Can I run the update tool while on TR 1.6?
Are you saying you let the phone completely boot up after you flashed via LG Tool? Seems to me that you are supposed to force it into custom recovery without ever letting it boot back up (or try to, as the case may be) the first time. Then wipe cache/dalvik, and flash 1.7 from there.
See post #1, specifically the "requirements" note
The data problems and handsfree problems are caused by your phone being unable to verify it's PRL, PRI, and profile. You'll also likely be noticing less than stellar performance because your phone is constantly using resources to achieve the verifications i mentioned above. The fix is to go through the process of updating your baseband to the newest radio. That process is described in length in the root sticky.
Whoohooo...I have root!!! And the new TR...whew, I was skeered!
