2. You must have drivers for your device installed on your PC

did you install? google for the drivers

the reason why the pc is not identifying your phone is drivers. we just dont know which is the right drivers.

Hi Kevin, welcome to Androidcentral. Visit this thread - [ how to ][root][GB] root the lg viper GB/ics

Note that there is a difference in root access depending on the currently installed OS. If you are GB look at that thread. If on ICS you'll need to use another method, which is referenced in the thread. Thoroughly read through the thread to understand rooting and what you need to do if something goes wrong.
