LG Marquee has root!

I have a Marquee and have successfully rooted using http://androidnerds.net/2011/10/08/lg-esteem-oneclickroot-now-ready/. Apparently the LG Esteem is close enough for this to work. After install, you will need to manually update superuser via the market.
Thanks to Hoovhartid over at androidcentral forums for suggesting this.

Can u make backup for ur gb and upload it here?

Fatcobrah, if you can give me instructions how to back it up, I will be glad to upload it. I have root access but not CWM recovery.

install Rom Manager from the market

ROM manager doesn't give an option for my phone for CWM and you can't back up your ROM without it.
Sorry but not risking bricking this thing if I make the wrong choice.

+1.and you can use adb to pull all files and boot.img ,and we can test it in a safer way

Okay guys, I thought what the hell, I'll try the LGE Black option in ROM manager and see what happens.
IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Use the volume keys to move and the search button to select.
I have backed up the ROM from the Marquee and loaded on Mediafire.
The back up wasn't good, so i pulled the link. Sorry!
Hope this helps.

Sorry folks, I don't think the backup is any good. I tried another and it looks the same. It is too small and doesn't have musch data.
Can someone point me to, or step me through, how to pull all the files with adb. I'll be glad to pull and post.

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-perform-and-restore-a-nandroid-backup/
am kinda noob too..so hope this will help!xD

first of all,you need a adb.exe
you can get it from super-one-click,or android sdk,google it
for example,we pull files at d:\system
copy adb files in d:\system
and then,open cmd(win+R,enter cmd)
connect your phone before we start.
type
Code:
d:
adb pull /system .\system
ok then it will pull all the system files into d:\system

does it back up to a directory on the SD card? if it does, you need all the files in the directory. there should be a few .img files along with the nandroid.md5 file. put them all in a zip and upload it.
look in sdcard: \clockworkmod\backup\
the directory the files are in should be named with a date+time stamp

Any chance?

I've already tried the CWM backup and it is no good, only about 18 meg in size and missing almost everything important.
That is why I was trying to get directions on how to use ADB to pull system files and image from the phone.

1. Download Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Install it on C: (not on Program Files for Easy Access)
3. Connect your phone through USB with debugging on
4. Open Command propt from your PC. (windows button + r / type "cmd" without quotes)
5. On command prompt type "cd c:\Android\ASDK\platform-tools" (without quotes then press Enter)
6. Then type "adb pull /system" (without quotes then press Enter)
7. wait till it's finished pulling the files
Now go to C:Android\ASDK\platform-tools. Copy all files now, zip it. Upload, they'll just exclude/disect the adb ones.

this is interesting. I'm going to try to use this method for rooting our P970.
Advices are welcome

Okay, I used ADB and was able to pull the system, boot.img and recovery.img.
Not sure if any of these are correct. The system file is HUGE (434mb zipped) but looks like every thing is there. Both boot and recovery are 5.00mb each.
If this looks right and is what you are after I will upload it to mediafire.
Let me know.

go go up it!, i wanna see if we can get a nice gingerbread with lg drivers from this.

Dont exactly know, what it does, but as far as I get it, it roots the device and installs CWM touch.
Credits go to poster, if it is successful.

Hey, thanks for posting here. Here is v20b : http://www.lgmobiles.com/gsm/download/P970 V20B(Gingerbread Version).rar
We don't have it for N version. I saw the russian forum and wanted to ask you about howvyou managed to root v20a before this method.
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App

this method is working just v20a(attachment patched bin file) right?
Where how I convert .kdz to .bin file?

I know russian very well.So i shortly translate all procedure done here.
They patched original 20A bin file , changing system recovery.img with clocworkmod recovery.img touch version.
Download 20A.bin extract it,and put somewhere in your computer.
and below there is a CWM flashable superuser.zip.
Download it and put to your Sd kart.Do not extract.
Then simply flash that patched 20A bin file with smart flash procedure posted here from radkor
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803
After finished flashing with smartflash tool go to cwm recovery and install superuser.zip
and you get rooted original 20A ginger.
Nice option for flashing and rooting
but we do not have 20N bin file yet.
we have only indian version 20B bin file, redpik posted it above

Thread moved
Unless it's a ROM or kernel you've created yourself, this doesn't belong in Development.

Doesn't SmartFlash auto erases all user data (factory reset at first boot)?

Okey... Maybe, tomorrow I will be a version (.bin) V20N

Ok. Let me try to understand this. They replace "system recovery.img" which is reside in the original rom bin file with "cwm recovery.img" (where to get this file?) and then flash it using smartflash tool. So after reset by smartflah, cwm is already in the phone installed. Then all is easy, proceed to install superuser.zip, etc..etc.zip.
How is it possible to obtain root by inserting cwm in the rom while cwm itself require root to run? Also, what's the "system recovery.img" that got replaced. Is it important?
Please investigate more. Need more info on how "patching" is done too. I don't understand russian.

I guess you need to investigate more how android works. Flashing recovery image with the whole system in a bin file makes cmw part of the "original" firmware so,like recovery that only can erase all this one can read/write in the system files. Sounds normal. I read on Samsung forums that they get root for latest versions by flashing a patched odin file and then a su zip. I will try it

Then we can say that this is universal method as long as cwm can be patch into the rom. Finding exploit is not necessary anymore. So, what's the function of the file replaced in the rom. Is it the original lg recovery method which is not available anymore if this we use this method?
Thanks for the explanation, I wonder why it hasn't be use before, maybe because lack of rom file in bin format?
Edit: downloading rom in your link, pls post how to proceed if you get hold of it.

to get the files out of a kdz: grab them while someone is using the KDZ program to update their phone. The files are extracted and put into "C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone" but as soon as the program detects no phone the entire directory is blown away. Too fast to grab the files. So either you update for real (in which case you have the time to grab the files) or you create a symbolic link between the C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone folder and another folder you create say name it C:\test. What happens is that files get extracted and then \phone folder deleted when no phone is detected but the files remain on the \test folder. So you get your files which are a "model.dll" file (in p970 case i guess something like lgp970.dll) and a .wdb file which is the firmware. How to proceed though to tinker further with the .wdb file so as to get bin file and baseband still elludes me

I bet our rom cooker knew how to unpack and repack. So, anyone?

update: doing some research and it seems to extract the bin files you need lgutils and the .dll file you get from the kdz extraction but I am not at home to look into it any further.

You don't need this, disabling LG MODEM DEVICE under modems makes UNLOCKROOT work on every firmware! TESTED on 20N german version!

Make sure you have followed guide properly, disable modem if you have it (i kept drivers from root method which doesnt have modem) and make sure Windows enabler is on. Log runs for a long time when I flash, about 15 minutes before it finally reboots

put the Firmware kdz in the "kdz-update" folder.
Run "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin" like if you were flashing the phone.
when you hit "upgrade" in the program, it will creat a temp .cab file like "V10x.cab" in the same folder "kdz-update", you need to be fast and select and copy (or drag&drop) that file to other location, desktop for example...
after you get the .cab, you just need to extract the .dz and .dll files with winrar, winzip, or other.

[Request] BOOT.img

Hello
Is there any1 with BOOT.img from firmware B584 that could upload?

You mean the kernel, right? Sorry, no. Have just the UPDATE.APP from B594 on my phone. Maybe you can download the zip-file again and get it out of the UPDATE.APP? For what do you need this? Update because custom kernel?

Literally the kernel i have installed now (ESAL v2.0) lacks "Revoke USB Authorizations" on settings. Thats why i need that specific one. (removing data/misc/adb/adb-keys doesnt help)

I'm too lazy to get boot.img for you, but there is a work around for your problem.
If you are using windows go to C:\Users\<your_windows_user_name is_here>\.android
(If using linux I don't know where to go)
Copy adbkey.pub in your device and rename it "adb_keys" with no filename end.
On your device move it in to data/misc/adb/ and probably not important but permissions are -rw-r----- .
Restart adb.
This has worked for me earlier, I hope I didn't forgot anything important.
Also you can use huaweiupdate extractor to get boot.img from update.app.

When using MiFlash (which Ive no experience of)error message, see attached image.
Any help in next steps be much appreciated.

Then try reflashing. It should work

2-decompress my flash and create empty folder with the name of log inside what was decompressed
3-download compatible firmware in .tgz format not in .zip
4- unzip .tgz file on disk C, rename the folder to raphaeli (I don't know if necessary, I don't think so I did).
5- open miflash, install drivers.
6-find the raphaeli folder and click on refresh.
7- uncheck the box below where it says block if this is not the case.

You don't unzip the .tgz file. You flash the .tgz file using MiFlash. Before you flash the file make sure the "clean all and lock" on the bottom right corner IS NOT SELECTED. If you flash it with it selected it will lock your bootloader and you will most likely brick your phone.

My bad. Failed to notice you're not showing file extensions, so didn't realise the .bat files are actually there. Ignore original post.
After seeing the error have you tried booting into the phone?
Many times users say they get an error at the end of flashing with the Mi Flash Tool, but after, they can boot into MIUI and everything is fine. Not seen this error myself, so don't know if it's the same as your seeing.
