I'm getting an error. After I make the choice to run it says the system cannot find path specified.

I'm new to this level of software manipulation but I really want to root my phone. Got the drivers installed, phone shows up in cmd, green text, debugging/security mode enabled/disabled... just have to press the #1 button. What are the risks of bricking this bad boy? I cant really get a new phone. also is there anything else I should be careful of before i proceed? Im nervous haha from the research it seems like I only have one shot. is there a way to unroot?(I dont know why Id want to just curious)

This will never brick your phone.

After flashing with ICS now i am not able to root it again saying mount permission denied.
Tried to add su file manually but it says for mount /system doesn't have permission.
Tried flashing ICS many times not working debugging mode and unknown sources are on still not working. Even from adb i tried that mount etc commands please any help will be really appreciated. Thanks

*sigh* Just go back to Gingerbread, root, use OTA root keeper and upgrade.

i tried this method and when my phone promts me to restore i click restore' a small box shows up that says 'restore starting...' then it says 'restore ended' and nothing happens
Any help?

this is happening to me too. it locates the device and starts the root but then just hangs after it says restore ended.

I can't even start rooting my phone because the LG Support Tool won't work for me. I've installed the drivers about ten times and it still won't recognize my device. What do I do?

I reflashed back to zvi and used ICS Universal Root -XDA to root ICS.
Then I used ota root keeper to backup root and temp unroot.
Then I let the phone install ZVK.
Then I used ota rootkeeper to restore root.

I had trouble with the lg flash tool setup. I was not seeing LGE Android USB Serial Port under device manager.
I'm using windows 7. I found it in start menu, Devices and printers, LG AndroidNet Phone.
Double click and then click hardware tab.
You will see LGE Android USB Serial Port.
"Make sure you are in download mode".

This is exactly what is happening to me... Can someone help? When it says to restore its also asking me for the phones encryption password. My phone is not encrypted. I skip it and just click restore and the same as above happens. It says restore starting then immediately says restore ended. Can anyone help?
