unrooted, now can no longer root.

I have the sprint LG marquee. I know most of the Optimus Black stuff isn't compatible with my phone but dunno where else to post.
At one point I had root access and cwm recovery on it (that is all that is available for that phone atm). I accidentally used the LG support tool (like Motorola phone tool), thinking it would just install usb drivers to my pc. What it did must have been firmware or software update or something. I lost the cwm recovery and root, and since then I can not root anymore.
I know methods and solutions in this forum might not fix it, but I was wondering if someone here could decipher why I am unable to root. I have tried every available working method and get the same results.
here it is....

This is definitly wrong here in the DEV section...
But to your problem. Gingerbread is unrootable till now, at least via one click solution like SoC, BlackJack and similar programms.
What you can do, is get the software for your device in kdz format and flash it with R&D Testtool plus Workaround.
I dont know, if this works on your device. But if it does, you should also be able to inject CWM into the update and the flash superuser.zip. Just search for cwm injection here.
Hope this at least helps a bit. You can also inject CWM into the LG update tool btw.
And pls provide some more information, if this doesnt help, like your software version.

Thread moved
Your thread had nothing to do with development, so it was moved here. Perhaps the link from this post might be of some help.

Have you tried Gingerbreak?
Worked for me...
If you want it tell me, I'll upload it for you.

[Q] Phone Bricked Unfixable

Hi guys I have sad news ;/ I bricked my phone Installing Chainfire 3D and now it won't start up.
It happened a month ago. The phone is rooted so I can't send it to repair.
I was in city center and they tried switching the battery, installing JIG but nothing.
I searched for it everywhere but nothing....
So anybody please if you have idea what's wrong then reply!!

Just go to service center and play dumb, you were updating with kies and it rebooted but never came back on? Don't mention rooting or anything related...

LOL I think he means bootloop. But not sure. I think it's impossible to brick a phone with chainfire. I tried it on every ROMs except for the stock and the biggest problem I ever got is the bootloop. Then restored a backup and that's it.

http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15 has the latest KDZs, but without knowing your region...
Maybe someone has the one you need - I've only got the UK v10H as a backup.

the V20B is the only one i can load.
Before a while there were all fws files listed.

As I said ... without knowing your region nobody is going to be able to help you. The files were pulled a long time ago.

its germany but i already done the flash to 10h

No, of course not. If you want an unlocked bootloader then you must, surely, be wanting to install a Custom ROM? So, why would you want to roll back to v10H?

some said its most stable but im back on JB now

Thank You very much

I think your device could pretty easily be fixed by just reinstalling the stock ROM through Odin.
Follow these simple steps:
Download stock ROM from SamMobile. Here is a direct link to your device. Simple select the right firmware for your phone and download.
Download flashing tool, in this case, Odin. Make sure to download it from a reliable source as 3rd parties sometimes do include viruses.
Boot your phone into download mode by pressing the Volume down and Bixby button at the same time as you plug in the USB-c cable.
Use Odin to flash all the stock firmware files except for the HOME_CSC one.
Congrats you have successfully recovered your phone. Now give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back.
Also, please place your thread in the right forum in the future. That way you can get help much quicker.
If this answer did help you, please mark it as the solution as it help people in the future.

Looks like you'll need to revert back to stock. You can get the firmware with Xperifirm software on your PC.
Then flash the phone with FlashTool.
It's been a while since I did this on my XZ2c so I can't provide more details, but reading about those two links should get you started.

Try using Sony Companion. SOMC Flash Device using same fastboot command so can be faked to fastboot.
