Hey everyone. I'm finally considering rooting & I'm confused about one thing.
Which are the proper settings for the R&D Test tool (kdz updater for step 11)?
A. Emergency, 3gQCT, & Normal web upgrade test [as per the Instructions docx in the Offline Fix zip]
B. CDMA & DIAG [Default for me when I opened the program]
C. CDMA Smartphone (WM) & DIAG [as per step 7 of the original post for this thread]
There are 3 different instructions in 3 different places, so which one is it?
Follow the guide as outlined here, doesn't matter what you may see elsewhere this thread outlines the process in detail.

Alrighty. Thank you for the clarification. I just wanted to make sure I got it right, especially since there is a possibility of bricking the phone (by not following the proper steps).Follow the guide as outlined here, doesn't matter what you may see elsewhere this thread outlines the process in detail.
i have benn trying to root my brothers boost marquee and i have had no luck . I didnt have any trouble when i rooted my marquee but i cant remember if the LG Support Tool is required to get all the drivers installed that is needed..??
The details was just what i needed !!!! Extreamly HELPFULL >>Well.... I personally did not use the LG Support Tool (Win 7 SP1 x64).... I hope that wasn't a no-no, but there were no blips when I went to root the phone.
If I recall correctly, I
--clicked the Boost link in Step 2
--downloaded the USB Driver for Windows & LG Mobile Support Tool
(I actually did open the LG Mobile Support Tool by accident while trying to figure out what it was.... Nothing happened, as I did not have the phone plugged into the computer at the time.)
--turned off Antivirus & Internet Security Suite, installed the USB Driver & rebooted (without phone plugged into the computer)
--plugged the phone turned on in the computer (w/ USB Debugging, Always ask off, & charge only)
There was the usual automatic detection & installation of the phone's drivers that went without a hitch.
--made sure I had the USB driver fix from the quoted post in the original post
(already had it)
After a while of having the phone on & looking through the Device Manager, I believe I turned off the phone with the power button while it was still plugged into the computer & more drivers installed (around step 10 when the phone is powered down)....
More drivers installed when I switched to Mass Storage.... Made sure all necessary Windows Updates were completed.... Rebooted....
Then, get to rooting!
Around step 11 with my Boost phone, more drivers installed, then I disabed the LG (modem) entry in network adapters in Device Manager.
I hope this is helpful to you in some way.
