Not to be pedantic either, but the stickies could use definitely use some attention. They are exceptionally fragmented and confusing for new folks at this point in terms of how to root and what's what. The web of estranged links is quite puzzling. Now, I'll be the first to e-smack somebody for using ROM Manager, but if they genuinely want to learn now, it has become much more difficult than it was before the ZVH fiasco.
I suggest that someone with the necessary privileges modify/consolidate the stickies so that it is more direct and allows noobs to determine what they have quickly, and presents them with the appropriate action options. Perhaps even a quick explanation of what a radio or baseband is, that custom recoveries do not mess with it, and how we have 2 working versions in play for this device? I hereby volunteer to help.
Pretend you are coming to this device section for the first time with your recently purchased ZVH device. Play dumb and try to figure out how to own that thing in your hand using this site. Good luck!
And now that Drew has graciously posted a new custom recovery option, someone who knows the difference should explain to those who don't what the difference is and make a recommendation or present the options to them. If all of the answers about a custom recovery or ROM are not apparent in the first 2-3 posts, then that thread is not maintained. I don't care if you just uploaded a new version 2 hours ago; if people can't figure out why they should/shouldn't use it, it is just a point of confusion.
Further, how the hell is it that we have a couple of automated WIndows tools to root a ZVH device, yet no manual way to root it using Linux?? Isn't this like telling a Mayan or an Egyptian that there is no sun, then handing him a digital watch and a bottle of Coppertone to further his understanding of the universe?
