Root Root your updated LG Marquee phone step by step.

Thanks for the work you put into this! Got my Marquee yesterday, gonna try rooting today. I've rooted two phones before this (Evo, Transform Ultra), but I will admit...I'm still nervous as sh**! >.< I think the step-by-step directions are great. I'm gonna print them off, re-read them 10 times, and have two laptops going when I do the root (one for the rooting & one to simultaneously watch a you-tube video of someone doing the root)...Bah ha ha. Crossing my fingers & will update when I'm finished :D Thanks again!

Keep getting (MOD UpTestEX MFC Application has stopped working) error..Less then a second after i press the Launch software update button..Any ideas?
Click to expand...


In the KDZ updater folder there is a file called msxml.msi you need to run that. then you will not get that error.

hope this helps, because I too had the same error, until I ran that file... then the root process went through.
 
ok I am having issues, using the power button to select the rooted zv4, it will not update, the power button does nothing, I have to use the menu key to select.

so for now I am stuck on zv9, maybe I just overlooked something, but I have been at this for a while now....

HELP!! lol

thank you for your patience.

Edit**** PRESS 1 then ENTER at STEP 18 or you will go through the same crap I went through
 
ugh cannot get back step 11.
stock zvc.... says phone not found. Trying various timing 5-15 seconds before powering on....
any other ideas?


17:09:25 : Launching SW update
17:09:25 : Unpacking KDZ
17:09:25 : KDZ file extraced
17:09:26 : Files were extracted.
17:09:26 : LGMobileDL Load.
17:09:26 : Port = -1
17:09:26 : Connecting to phone
17:09:26 : PHONE WAS NOT FOUND!
17:09:28 : ===FINISHED===
 
Ok while booting to cwm to install the zv4 rooted, I get signature not verified, and it aborts the installation.....

I will try the zvc too see if that one works...... *sigh*



Edit***** Dont forget to press 1 at step 18 =]
 
Step 18 should read press 1 then enter, 1 installs cwm, enter closes the window.

I had a hell of a time, because well i was just pressing enter, like the guide said haha


I believe I have completed the root process,

root check basic says I have root access.

Thank you for this write up!! It was very helpful to newbs like myself

Thanks again

I had to use the LG KP500 Utilities software to apply this software to my phone. changing the file extension from kdz to cab allowed this.
 
Yay finally rooted . I had a lil trouble but it was all just a luck of experience with rooting. So anyone have any suggestions on what custom rom to flash ??

Yeah I know what you done wrong. Your menu button works as enter which means you have not installed cwm as the guide explains.

Now that your on zv9, you need to root your phone and then install CWM following the guide, you are currently using the stock recovery which is why you can't get the install to work.

You need to install CWM as described in this tutorial. After installing cwm you will be able to upload the stock rooted to your sd card and install it.

Follow the guide it's all there....

I am stuck on a continuos sprint boot loop and i don't kno what to do help?
Click to expand...

Follow the guide, I explained what to do if you get stuck on continuous boot.

You simply hold the power button and the volume down button until you boot into cwm. Once your in cwm you need to do a factory reset and then reboot the phone.

Oops I just realized your not rooted yet and do not have cwm installed.

You will need to hold the power button and volume down button until it boots into the factory recovery. Inside the factory recovery you will need to do the clear data reset to factory. Once that is complete you reboot the phone.

To navigate the factory recovery just use the volume up and down to browse the menu and use menu button as enter.

I'm not 100% sure what to do on stock ZVC, I went from stock ZV4 to ZV9 then rooted my phone and flashed back to the stock rooted zv4.

1st ....AWESOME Guide!!! Have a LG Marquee on Sprint and have been looking for a good guide to root and ROM it and this is sure it.

Timing is key on this device, popped the battery cover off to quick reboot when I messed up on the timing. For me it did show the LG & NOW logo's before showing the update screen so a few times I thought I had gotten the timing wrong but it did goto the update screen. I did have to force close the update when trying to connect more then once but was fine other wise and I know was my system & not the software

Those having issue , remember to double check those drivers, run as admin , & turn off your anti virus. Half the tools I've ever seen in rooting a device reports as an "exploit" or "virus" but have never had 1 tool harm any of my machines going back to the HTC G1

Thanks Again to the OP wish I could give a +5
 
Thanks! I am stuck on Step 11, However.
I have done different timings, 5, 10,12,15 seconds...
Only get this in the log:
17:09:25 : Launching SW update
17:09:25 : Unpacking KDZ

so it always does the sprint boot, any thing else i can try?
 
Ok, let me describe in more detail.

It's not working, and here is what I am seeing:

I wait 12 seconds, turn on phone... immediately these two line items pop up:

Click to expand...

I never get more than those two line items above, no matter if I wait 5,10,12,14 seconds. Is this normal?

Recently after I press the software update button in the LG updater, the program says "Not Responding" (in the title bar) for 5 seconds or so. This is the standard "Not Responding" behavior in Windows 7.

Any ideas? I updated to latest drivers, and all. Thanks!
