Are you saying you accepted the vc update via your phone over the air or did you do it through the LG Update tool? I did mine through thre LG Update tool and it has been 2 days now and I haven't had any problems. Interesting if you updated over the air and maintained root. From what I've read on here if you accept the update ota then you lose root.
OK use the Control Center to install a Custom Recovery. Go to the advanced tab and you will see it there. Then you should be able to reboot into recovery (it will look different) There will be an option to "Flash zip from sd card". As long as TR1.7 is on the root of your card it will show up. Then you can flash away.
Did you update your baseband to VC? I tried TR1.7 on V9 and had the same problem. I'm back on 1.6.2 until I get around to upgrading my radio.
Did you wipe davlik and cache? Alternatively, do you have a nandroid backup from before you tried the upgrade that you could restore?
Problem is superuser is not popping up on my phone. Its suppose to ask for my permission when its suppose to be rebooting into xiona recovery but it doesnt. Nothing happens on my phone.. I think my problem is this superuser su update giving me errors. "su-2.3.10-bin.signed.zip has been placed on your sdcard .. please reboot into recovery mode and flash to update your su binary"
i even restored from the point when i just rooted and its still the same very weird.. it all happened when i started 7 it said can activate now please call blah blah blah ... i can call and everything just theres no data
Hmm well I haven't used the LG control center, so I'm not sure what you should do. Try posting your issue on that thread if you haven't allready.
Come to think of I did read on that thread that you may have to go through the root process more than once to get it to actually root. Read his first post instructions.
Here it is
"Extra Notes:
The root process may not be successful the first time around. Make sure it's REALLY rooted before installing custom recovery. If Superuser is not installed upon first boot after rooting, run the root utility again."
Because Thunderom doesn't update you modem to talk to Sprint you should follow:

If you just flash 1.6.2 over 1.7, instead of using a nandroid backup, you'll get a weird mix and bad stuff might happen. It's an issue zefie talks about in his xionia thread, flashing v9 over vc leads to strangeness.
Provided you have a custom recovery, you don't need functional superuser to reboot. Just turn off with power button -> home + volume + power until the dark screen after LG logo pops up to boot into recovery.
I just finished updating my phone to VC without loosing root or my custom recovery using the instructions in this thread:

I'm absolutely loving Thunderom 1.7. Here's to hoping overclocking comes back in the next build!
I do have a question. Can I update the PRL in the settings menu or is there some other procedure that must be followed?

Yep, you can update profile and prl right from the settings menu while on ThundeROM 1.7. Enjoy!
Hey, just giving an update. Day 3, no issues at all 
To recap, was on TR 1.6.2 v9, updated to vc using LG Update tool, did the 3 clears and flashed TR 1.7. Have completely shut down and powered up several times successfully to test. This ROM is fantastic! Again, many thanks to the devs and everyone else who has helped and been a part of the process. You all are awesome!
