Look, once marshmallow comes out, the .TOT file will be available for exploitation. What I would suggest to everyone who want root is to avoid updating to MM. The .TOT can be used to root v10s on LP.

And if the LG developers are really considering bootloader unlocking for the international variants, the same method can be used for all Verizon and AT&T models. We just have to tough it out guys.
[LG V10 General] vrnsr:
KNOX is not preventing any unlocks or rooting. It's just making it undeniable to claim you haven't rooted afterwards. So Samsung devices are good and easy for unlock in general. I really don't like Samsung but they do make it easy for devs in most of their devices.
[LG V10 General] CTXz:
I'm aware of that. When did I write my quote?
[LG V10 General] brentsalinas714:
So not true Samsung is like Fort Knox unrootable. It took a year almost before a half way root was possible,full root was never achieved on note 4. So i don't know where you get your info because Samsung Knox security for Verizon and AT&T is impossible which is why I chose this device.
[LG V10 General] vrnsr:
I was misunderstood, so let me make it clear:

KNOX is not preventing root access.

Now that we got that out of the way, lets continue:

If Verizon or ATT wants to prevent their customers from getting root access, they may do so and face the consequences (ie unsatisfied customers etc)

BUT this is not the case here- almost all V10 varients except one are inaccessible! EVEN THOSE THAT ARE NOT UNDER CONTRACT!!

It's locked by default and only tmobile asked to unlock it.

Bad move by LG IMHO
[LG V10 General] vrnsr:
Yeh it will work for every varient once we get those kdz files...

This is a draft for the procedure but the files are not available yet
[LG V10 General] Xenomorphs:
Did anyone here try the SRSroot method for the V10s, any variant?

I tried it with my H960 V10. It reported that the method was successful but when my phone rebooted, I was unable to get rootchecker verification, find supersu, or install supersu.

Not sure what I did wrong or this could be a fake. Can someone confirm me on this?
[LG V10 General] def-g:
All my phones have been rooted. And someday so will this one. Never buy a phone hoping the will be root. For $800 u should love the phone as is. Root is a BONUS, not a NECESSCITY.
[LG V10 General] eldragon0:
This 100%. I did get this phone... an extra battery, a 200GB Micro SD, and a charging cradle for the batter, with the hope that some day it will be rooted. That said, 4 months into leasing (At&t next) this phone I'm madly in love with it and will be buying it as most likely my last phone for quite some time. Would I like a root yes, will not having root effect my want to keep this phone forever, no.
[LG V10 General] vrnsr:
I see you point- you bought your phone with contract and got a nice bundle with it.

But what about those who bought it without contract?

I paid good money for my h960 and extra for the 2nd battery. No I didn't get the sd card too.

I wouldn't dream of spending this much knowing that for no apparent reason LG limits me that much.

I mean if they want to revoke warranty it's one thing, but to deny me access to recovery is a whole different story.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
I also would like to be able to root my phone, at least to get LTE 20, but $600 is a hell of a good price for what I got, more than happy with it :good:
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
This phone is pretty good out of the box. However there are a few things I wouldn't mind having root for. Viper4Android (for Bluetooth audio), ad free Youtube, ad blocking, change CPU/GPU governor.
[LG V10 General] blestsol:
I paid 475 for mine,I'm satisfied. If Marshmallow comes to the Verizon version I won't be worried about root.
[LG V10 General] Dgsaxhitman84:
I will gladly brick my phone to test jcase's root theory... If he has root on v10 I'll rosh a full hard brick to see if this is real or not
[LG V10 General] def-g:
Is the phone perfect? Nope. The Bluetooth needs fixing and the finger print scanner needs to work with cases. Other than that...BUTTER!!! Root would be nice. As I'm in Canada my phone has all the AT&T crap. And can't get the OTA. BUT the speed, second screen and Camara are not only unique. But phenomenal.

---------- Post added at 09:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

I paid almost a G. And would do it again. Best phone I've ever had.
[LG V10 General] corporal_hades:
adguard works amazing for me for blocking ads.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
I had problems connecting my Samsung S5 with a smartwatch via bluetooth, very short range and about half of the times I had to pair again, with the V10 it works every time, fast and further :good:
[LG V10 General] kaluna00:
do you have any issues with battery drain with this? also, If I remember correctly. foxfi would also not work with this as they both use different VPN settings.
[LG V10 General] corporal_hades:
Haven't noticed any battery drain issues lately, but you are correct that foxfi won't work at the same time as adguard unless we get root of course.
[LG V10 General] bantzt:
The update that has been pushed out fixes the fingerprint issue. I have taken the update and verified myself. I have the LG V10 for Verizon.

I'm very happy with this phone. The messaging app scrolling to the top is annoying after I rotate, along with Bluetooth needing tweaked. Root would he very nice so that I can get working on a kernel for this puppy to see what I can squeeze out of it both performance and battery wise.
[LG V10 General] def-g:
Problem for me is I'm in Canada so can't get AT&T update which has been out awhile to fix FP.
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
I don't think root will allow us to install different kernels. We need unlocked bootloader that will allow us to install an alternative recovery program for that.

My Verizon S4 got rooted but the bootloader was never unlocked. As such I could never install a different kernel. It just gave us access to apps that required root.
[LG V10 General] jaedenhudson14:
In all honesty, after having the v10 (vs990) for a few days, root is all I miss. I love the phone. I did the whole custom rom thing with my G2, and as much fun as that was, I hated the problems associated with it. The only reason I like root is to use apps that require it. Like viper4android, which I have grown to love. Getting rid of some unnecessary apps is a plus too. Lets hope things go the better of ways in terms of rooting.
[LG V10 General] bantzt:
This is very true. With root comes an easier time gaining access to the bootloader, even if it is getting harder and harder. Would still help us get access to run some scripts and apps we couldn't before.
[LG V10 General] brentsalinas714:
All I want to be able to do is use greenify and rom toolbox
[LG V10 General] billydroid:
Is this bounty still going or are we giving up hope on root?

Just bought my wife a v10 from Verizon. Its a crazy nice device. She has gotten used to root features. But being on Verizon there are not really rootable devices.
[LG V10 General] jaedenhudson14:
I can agree with you. I just got my v10 last weekend (2-3-16) and it is a super nice phone, but coming from a rooted g2 with a custom rom and a 241 dpi, I find myself still using the g2 for some things like music as I have viper4android on it. I still have hope for the v10 however.
[LG V10 General] Oditius:
Hmmm for me and my friends, we would just call out "Road Trip" and ride to the boarder. LoL Keep the shiny side up and the rubber to the ground!!! :highfive:
[LG V10 General] i42o:
Progress is being made on dual sim version. If root can be baked into tot and then flashed like on the dual sim v10 we might be in business. I can't seem to find if the bootloader is locked on that device. Keep in mind we have a system pull for the h900 so that's already good, but as far as baking root in... I'd have to read over somethings or talk to someone with more experience. [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] if they managed to build a rooted tot for dual sim version... We can do that to ours right? (H900) the validity of working tot has been proven
[LG V10 General] jcase:
as far as i know, no tot showed up when i was looking for one, and at this point ive taken a new job and not currently working on side projects
[LG V10 General] i42o:
Can you guide me in the right direction as far as injecting root and building tot please? I know you've been busy and congrats on the new job, but if I can help in anyway please let me know. [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]
[LG V10 General] jcase:
Do you have a tot for your model?
[LG V10 General] i42o:
We have system pull which I believe was used for dual sim model to create the tot they baked root in.
[LG V10 General] tomplatz:
Is there a dollar amount you'd need to undertake unlocking v10, or just not really interested?

Appreciate all your work in the past.
[LG V10 General] jaedenhudson14:
I don't know if this would be of any help but I found this link on another forum with a .zip. https://mega.nz/#!iIQx3YQT!POSqwvp9MjWu6iulHGEFtnBH7XqLpN1TNxXZ5ASSzPk

[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
Like I said previous. Jcase came into this forum and announced he could do root. Apparently now he has no intention of doing it. Why the hell did you announce it when you have no intention. Thanks for getting our hopes up over nothing.
[LG V10 General] Oditius:
Have a nice day..
[LG V10 General] Gordo1603:
Wow! I never saw where he said he was going to GIVE root! Did he ever get the TOT file he was needing? Don't think so. If you want him to give you root then produce the file for him and quite acting like you must be given everything. Too bad for you he has a life! Maybe you should get one too!
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
From post #225

"If anyone can located a REALLY good deal on a VS10 for me, or loan one to me, I will take a look as time allows. Entirely possible the LG G4 one ive been sitting on will work."

People have been offering up their phones to Jcase. He has not taken any like he said he would in that post.

Its fine if he never wanted to touch this. Its his choice. But instead he came to this forum and offered us all hope.
[LG V10 General] def-g:
To all the whiners. How can you ask for a favor, yet complain? If you could do it yourself... You would. So if you can't , you have 2 choices. Wait or do without and move on. Common sense people common sense.

PS [MENTION=524791]Oditius[/MENTION]. Have you considered professional help? ?
[LG V10 General] i42o:
Im giving up on this phone. This is too much.
[LG V10 General] Xenomorphs:
And the break down begins again. Like I said in my previous post, Jcase has to have the .TOT file - not by damaging others phones - to properly unlock the bootloader. This will only be possible if MM comes to LG V10 which it has not till now.

The biggest obstacle to the root is the bootloader. Just this push will be the key out of prison. But in order to get it, we must show some respect to those who can help, even if they have certain pre-requisites. Remember, patience is a virtue and Jcase came into the fray to give us some hope. I know it is a doughe move to offer a hand to help and when you reach out to grab it, retract that hand away; however, I believe Jcase never had such ill intentions to begin with. He just doesn't want other people to resent or regret the decision of giving their phone to him and being informed it has been bricked because who in the world can gurantee the success of a method.

Nothing is 100%, it is always the if or maybe. The low risk way to go about it is through the not-hurting-others-feelings way - Jcase's way. And might I add, it is not the end of the world if root is not possible (which I firmly beileve is possible in the near future). At most, V4A, Adway, and Xposed is the concern of many who want root. Full control and customization (custom roms and kernels etc.) is another too. But these all are extra things that the V10 would get. It is a wonderful phone even without these. It is one of those situations where you could say this extra would be "nice" on top of the ice cream but never "needed".

And considering LG's positive response on the bootloader unlock for international models, not to sound like a broken record, that method can be exploited for other models. This war is in a stalemate where we just have to wait for the enemy to make their move, not collapse on our allies.

I know that I can not be of any help and I sound like I brush others feelings and emotions for root as I say these words, but please consider waiting patiently for root. Having people talk bad about you just for giving hope in a safe but not favoured manner hurts alot. Each and everyone have their circumtances for root and I know nothing about them, making me more than unsuitable to talk like this. But I know one thing for sure, complaining and hurting others will gain nothing - only enemies. So please for the sake of god or atleast yourselves, wait patiently knowing you will get the results after the war and stop diminishing the chances of getting root anymore.

Note to devs: I really respect all of you and your work that you do for us to gain nothing in return. It is in nature for humans to lash out on those too who feed us, but if possible, please accept my humble apology from the bottom of my heart to all of you for the disrespect and taunt this forum has done. Again, you have your conditions and I have no right to demand such an act from all of you after being hurt and lashed out at, but please consider my request and forgive them (because even god asks you to seek forgiveness not from him but from those that you hurt)
[LG V10 General] Oditius:
In the mean time I will stay out of these types of threads. Good luck on your regular job and family life, been there done that.
[LG V10 General] burnsky05:
Going to need another clean and temporary shut down...
[LG V10 General] garfield1022:
my 2 cents. I too, wish to have root: I always have this expectation; if it comes, it comes. if it doesn't, then SOL.

devs have normal lives, and getting root for us, is outta their own time, and resources.

as for the whiners: like some cheese with that?
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
Bootloader does not need to be unlocked to get root. H961N just got root without unlocking bootloader through a tot file they were somehow able to attain pre-marshmallow.
[LG V10 General] Xenomorphs:
Thanks on the update. I know root does not require the bootloader unlock but the hype created in this forum is for the bootloader which I think majority of people want with root. Sure, root itself is great but the main customization functionality comes with the bootloader unlock (Custom roms, kernels, recoveries etc.)

Really did not know about the H961N root. Congrats to H961N users! Now only if that "somehow" is clarified, a pathway can be opened for other variants too - not to mention the bootloader unlock. :)
[LG V10 General] CB620:
None that I know of for lollipop. I know marshmallow has it by default.
[LG V10 General] skyneon:
So now the American have an unlock version of the phone, for the people who have an other version not unlock we are stuck.
[LG V10 General] partymola:
I have a F600S.

It comes locked by default, but it can be changed from Android itself:

Settings > Developer Options > Allow OEM unlock

When marking the checkbox it asks for the PIN/Pattern then a warning appears: "WARNING: Device protection features will not work on this device while this setting is turned on."

You confirm clicking on "Enable"... and done. :)
[LG V10 General] skyneon:
Saddly no it not unlock the bootloader at all you will see
[LG V10 General] Bootup:
That doesn't unlock the bootloader
[LG V10 General] comhack:
No, but fastboot oem unlock does unlock it.
[LG V10 General] Persianhawkes:
Anyone achieve root?
[LG V10 General] FAUguy:
The Verizon V10 is out today, so hopefully the Devs will try and crack it.

If the Verizon V10 can't be rooted and is locked up tight like the Note5, then I guess I'll be sticking with the Note 4 Dev Ed for a while longer.
[LG V10 General] skyneon:
Not for the f600L I activate OEM unlock and I still not have access to fastboot or the download mode
[LG V10 General] comhack:
Well fastboot oem unlock unlocked my Tmobile LG-H901 (LG V10) flawlessly. Now I just need root to get rid of the app ads and access some of my other tools.
[LG V10 General] TheJesus:
[MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] can confirm, but they have no plans to get a V10. If you guys want to start a fund to buy a V10 for them, maybe they'd be up for it. It should be identical to the G4, so minimal modifications. We can't do much of anything until LG makes some KDZ's available (as much as I want to start tinkering, I'd rather not brick my phone with nothing to flash it back with).

Sony Xperia Z2 I had previously have locked bootloader. We have recoveries and custom stock based roms for it. "Only" thing that must be stock with locked bootloader is kernel.
[LG V10 General] hovercraftdriver:
It's a catch-22, ya know. I'm aggravated that someone dangles it out there like a carrot in front of the mule, but people wanted hope and he provided. But at the same time, what's the motivation? Having a bunch of chumps get pissed because he isn't following up, or being labeled a chump himself for holding out on something he says is doable, even though others are willing to "assume" the risk by donating their hardware? Lose-lose all the way around in these situations, for the chumps on both sides of the argument, those praying for and wanting root, and those on the pedestal that claim they are doing everyone a favor by waiting for the all famous .tot file, so they and the preps can recover their devices when they probably should have kept the secret to themselves to begin with. This place will never change and is really a sad reflection on society. Peace.
[LG V10 General] KennyG123:
SInce apparently the frustration of lack of root is bringing out anger issues in some, this thread is going into a time-out for awhile. If someone has root progress to post about you can PM me or any moderator for this section to open the thread,

It is damn selfish of some posters here to believe this is the only damn device in the whole world that doesn't have root or that any security expert should put their entire life on hold to work tirelessly and 24/7 on root just for YOU! Do you expect a developer to cancel a lecture tour which pays $50,000 per lecture for some pennies you are throwing at them? Or expect another developer not to accept an offer of $100,000 for a root solution in the private sector with a NDA, for the same pennies or "just" to be a hero now and then you turn and call them all sorts of names and selfish when they don't swoop in and root your next phone 1 day after you get it? Time for those poster to take a good, hard look into that mirror and realize you are not the center of the universe.

THINK, RESEARCH and don't buy a device that is locked down!!!! Google, LG, Samsung, etc have multi-million dollar investments in engineering to make devices secure as possible since these are portable personal computers and assistants. They have your complete information and financial data on them....how much would you cry if you were wiped out financially because someone hacked your phone? They don't give a rat's ass about the 0.25% rooting development community! They are looking out for the other 99.75% of consumers that want the most secure device. So get used to praying and waiting for root because it may be a thing of the past soon in the future.
