Read through that. Should fix you up. Its a driver installation thing. One of the last posts should fix you right up. I had the same problem. Megatron won't work. Have to use the all in one to flash bootloaders then recovery then superuser.

This should be moved to q&a before they eat you.
the first two methods you mentioned should work if you followed instructions correctly

It might be due to the computer not recognizing the phone properly?
You will probably have to end up replacing 3e recovery if your friend is already at 2.2. I always just 1Click back to stock and install a custom ROM from there. The only other ways I have seen involve replacing the stock kernel with a rooted kernel using Odin (the non-1click version), which can quickly ruin your friendship if any problems are encountered. Nothing else that I have seen will work with 3e.
Here is the 1Click: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364 look at step 2, worked perfectly for me.
If you want to take fun way, forget rooting, just use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944418 and install custom rom that comes with root(all of them)
Either way, happy hunting
if you follow this it should work no problem.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
reason super one click isnt working is probably because your phone is not in USB debugging mode
And you shouldn't double post the same question clogs up the thread

Help with rooting 2.3.5
Using megatron root I have followed several different threads to a tee. un-installed all drivers and restarting laptop .updated drivers to most recent tried several different drivers even p920, tried to fully reset the phone through stock 3e recovery full wiped everything. Still getting ADB not recognized as internal or external command. Tried two different downloads of Megatron root. Ive even tried Superoneclick several different versions. I think still the driver is the issue anyone have the drivers that they used? Thanks community for all help
BTW i have searched thoroughly to no avail.

Uninstall all LG drivers plug it into the comp and run the LG update tool and it will se you have no LG drivers. It will give you the option to do them clikk that now you have them. If this doesn't work then go to LG website and search for them there. That's where I got mine.

Well man only thing left i could say is to get a new wire. Just cuz it charges dont mean the wire ismt damaged. Other than that i think you might have a phone with an attitude!

Did you try to factory reset the phone and root it using megatron or superoneclick?
I had the same issue. Nothing i tried would root. I finally gave up, flashed the v21a kdz, and then gained root on first try. Something about the v20p wouldn't allow me to root. Have you tried flashing another baseband?

Not to familier with the rev, but i need to fix this for a friend, i tried searching so sorry if this has been answered before, but my friend deleted autorun in tibu and now the phone wont connect to a pc. she deleted a bunch of other nessisary apps as well, so i wasnt sure if a factory reset would help. shes on the V6 2.2 update, stock rooted. i assume clockwork is installed so does anyone have a link to a v6 rom that i could flash in clockwork. or the autorun apk or any better ideas?

V6 was never really rooted so a ROM wasn't made for it. I would say just update the phone to the latest update and then root and flash Broken out.

Unfortunately the software won't update without all of the stock applications that are built in to the phone. You'll need to flash the v6.tot file found here.

That will have all of the necessary files.

Ok, idk if this will work but it should. Try flashing the v8.tot from emergency download mode. (pull the bat then connect to your PC with the LG software running) flash the tot then use the test mode fix tool and you should be back to square one.
I would post links but I'm on my mobile and I'm not that coordinated.

Follow instructions to the letter!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the software doesn't see your phone, try the method I posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662273
same process generally, just a test mode step w/ fix.
either way, if the 1st link doesn't help, the the 2nd should do the trick.
--I.M.famous
edit: Test mode fix: follow the second link I posted above.
Looking for anyone who would be able to help me root this since the ZVC upgrade, I've been over at the other android forums and following the step by step rooting guide and running into problems on both a Vista operating system and Windows 7. I'm looking for someone I can bounce a few questions off of as I have spent the last day and a half trying to get this thing downgraded and rooted. I'm willing to try anything!!! My patience is wearing thin... Thanks in advance!
I'm in the same boat, but I have patience.

I don't have a Marquee but I'll be happy to answer any questions you have though.
A quick google showed me there is quite a few ways to root it. What methods did you try? (I don't know which methods will work on the newer software)
I've tried them all and none work.

1) Have you tried this : link
It should work regardless of what firmware you are using now. Since it will downgrade you to a firmware that can be rooted using security flaws.
2)If you want to keep the newer firmware and not use a custom ROM it's more complicated.
Get your firmware like so : link
Extract it to bin and fls like and inject CWM like so : link
Install it using SFT like so : link
Use the bin and fls files from the above step and NOT the one posted in the thread
Then you'll boot into recovery make wipe in data and cache and in advanced wipe dalvik.
If you are unsure of anything in method 2 don't use it. It can brick your phone ( I can be unbricked but that unnecessary hassle ) Use the first method. ROMs for P970 will not work on the Marquee. (If it does boot then it's lucky don't take the chance thou)
blackjack includes a marquee root process. since I never got feedback for it, I don't know if it works....
i'm very new to this whole thing, i unlocked my first phone 2 days ago actually which is my lg thrill. i have updated it to ics i tried to use superoneclick to root it that didn't work. is there anything else i can try? i tried this all in one thing but it didn't load my phones info in the DOS window just said press any button to continue so i did and nothinghappened with and without my phone plugged in. from what i've been reasearching. i want to root my phone to p920 so i can have different bandbase and have 3/4g on tmobile thanks for the help if i get any! :good:
Try "oshacking" all in one tool. Read all the instructions.
