Some people were bricking there devices so let me clarify my tutorial. If you did brick it (by rooting) follow this.
WARNING: I'm not responsible for your phone if you do brick it. I will however, do everything I can to help you revive it.
TESTED ON LATEST: ZV9 UPDATE (2017, November)
NOTICE: SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO ENABLE USB DEBUGGING AND CHECK ENABLE OEM UNLOCK BEFORE DOING THIS.
I didn't. And it worked for me for the 6 times I did it.

1) Extract the LG_Root to your desktop, and open a cmd prompt in that folder.
2) Power off your phone. Hold the volume up button and plug it into your computer.
3) In the cmd type: ports.bat
