Once you’re have become a rooted android phone user, there is no going back. The benefits are too much to ignore, you know that. If you happen to be one of the LG Revolution user who updated to latest ZVL firmware, you might still be looking for an easy solution to root your Revolution that’s running Gingerbread now.

Well, thanks to XDA dev mtmichaelson, we now have a simple one click root tool to root the ZVL running LG Revolution — it also works on Android 2.2 ZV6 firmware, btw — as easily as it can get.
