I'm using Xperia Z2, since mid 2014. I'm still on stock based firmware. As you stated, camera, as well as audio performance, are better with stock based roms than with aosp based roms. But there's many rom cookers taking stock brand firmware as base, but add many features, or great optimizations.

Even my wife, who doesn't know anything about android and OS stuffs, needs root. Why? Simply because there's always a bunch of bloatware, or apps not needed because you're using one for years doing the same thing in a better/more suitable way.

I agree that unlocking the bootloader isn't so useful anymore, just a flash and test junky thing. But root is so helpful in many ways. Just one thing why I couldn't use phone without root : all those terrible ads everywhere, on the web and on YouTube. Soooo annoying. Used my phone 2 weeks before rooting, I was going crazy just about ads here, ads there, ads everywhere!

Edit : installing an alternative launcher already keep you away from most of worst things of "skins" from brands.
[LG V10 General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Precisely. I understand and echo everything you point out. I have always used Nova Launcher.

Yes, bloatware is a problem. However, besides that, I really don't have a need for root in general, it's just a fun thing to have and mess with. I don't like messing with my phone much anymore since I have important things on my plate, calendar, phone calls, etc.

I don't understand why people say they love ad blocker, I haven't had an issue with ads, in fact I don't see many AT ALL, and I don't have mine rooted...

I see the most in the TapaTalk app, other than that nothing really...
[LG V10 General] yourbrotherrex:
Root saves me the $30 a month extra I don't have to pay Sprint for Wi-Fi tether: that's reason enough for me to root all my devices.
[LG V10 General] RJFrank33:
I have always rooted every one of my devices dating back to my og. That said, it seems it's getting harder and harder to gain root on some of these new devices. Doesn't Xposed work on non rooted devices? If so, won't that along with a new launcher satisfy the craving for root? I'm asking because my next phone will probably be the V10 and I'm fearful root might not be gained.
[LG V10 General] BFCE:
I'll throw $50 in.

I'd look myself with the strong Java knowledge I have but I'm very ignorant to android.
[LG V10 General] bschuster:
I got $50
[LG V10 General] motrinHD:
so I have this phone coming in the mail. But it will be all but useless if root can't be attained. I know in the past bounty threads have been created, is that the best method to raise money? how about a gofundme or kick starter? I would think go fund me would be best. but let's discuss,
[LG V10 General] 77dima77:
Agree... In for bounty. Rooting wzv devices is a must! Can someone start the bounty thread as it was done for G3 back year ago?
[LG V10 General] SuhasTheBest:
There was a $2000 bounty for lg g4 root earlier this year
[LG V10 General] BFCE:
I'll deffo throw 50 in a GoFundMe. Hell if I have to I'll throw down 100 as long as I get root on my AT&T model.
[LG V10 General] motrinHD:
okay looks like a bounty thread could be started. but devs don't know for sure that those who pledge will actually pay up. a GoFundMe for Verizon and maybe a separate GoFundMe for Att version. money gets submitted and can't be returned. idk I want to make this as tempting as possible for devs. anyone agree? disagree?
[LG V10 General] BFCE:
I'd assume they're similar methods.

inb4 firmware update mode
[LG V10 General] bschuster:
Agreed on the split GoFundMe. But who gets control of the accounts?
[LG V10 General] motrinHD:
that's the most important question. does anyone have experience with GoFundMe? Can multiple ppl run one?
[LG V10 General] 77dima77:
Why would you think devs wont trust our words/polls. As I remember we have simply registered our names and email and the amout willing to contribute, someone should update the sum for devs to know the total. Once completed someone can broadcast the email list with the msg to pay up. I believe people here can be trusted with their words. Wouldnt you think? Im in for 50$ on vzw!
[LG V10 General] outchillaxing:
I'm in but never been part of a bounty so don't know how it works. If someone comes up with a way, I'll donate
[LG V10 General] Warrior1975:
That's how it works.

[LG V10 General] outchillaxing:
Ok if that's how it gonna be done, who's gonna be holding the account? Can we get a mod to hold the money? Probably the only people I trust with somethi.g like this.
[LG V10 General] bschuster:
I agree, but we need to get the ball rolling on this.
[LG V10 General] Warrior1975:
I've only done it once, but it was for purchasing a note 3 for a dev. I actually held the money and kept track of it. I'm not sure how you guys want to handle the bounty, but I believe in the past, people committed, and once root is achieved each individual would PayPal their promised amount.

I'm sure you could get a veteran of xda, that would hold the money. I doubt someone reputable would steal bounty money, we are a pretty tight knit community. I'm not involved, but that's up to you guys obviously.

[LG V10 General] elvin421:
Agreed on split approach & pledge 50 toward VZW.

Do we have the attention of some devs yet?

Where's the tally at?
[LG V10 General] outchillaxing:
Someone start the thread and get the account going. I would but I've been on the road and on the phone. No laptop
[LG V10 General] CheatCodePi:
I've created an account here solely for contributing to the bounty. Coming from a G2 (outdated, but still running like a champ!) I've been waiting for the next LG phone to woo me into making an investment, and I must say a proper root method is the only thing keeping me from buying the V10 outright (to keep my UDP of course ;)). Haven't contributed to a bounty before either so any directions after the setup and I'm in for $50 as well!
[LG V10 General] SuhasTheBest:
What if we create a Google wallet account where people can add money through the wallet app?
[LG V10 General] bschuster:
As long as you have a google login, you can setup the wallet app, but we still go back to the point of, who takes care of the money....
[LG V10 General] SuhasTheBest:
Trust is a difficult thing
[LG V10 General] kaluna00:
Verizon does not let you use Tethering (without paying an extra $30/mo). Foxfi is an option, but my main want/need for root is native tethering with provisioning removed.

[LG V10 General] echto:
Android pay is what is preventing me from rooting the V10. I came from a rooted Noted 4 and enjoyed using Google Wallet pre Google "Android Pay" **** Head days. It wasn't the fact that I couldn't add a debit or credit card to Android Pay with a rooted phone, it was the fact that I couldn't access my measly $2 gift card that I've been holding on to for ages. That was what urked me.

So, of for the time being I can live with an internal VPN adblocker and a few apps that I can't disable, and enjoy using my phone to pay for things.
[LG V10 General] LBJM:
Did you ever try rootcloak Xposed module?
[LG V10 General] SuhasTheBest:
On my G2 the only way to return to complete factory stock image was to use the LG flash tool with a KDZ file. What if someone just modified the KDZ file to include root and flash using LG flash tool?
[LG V10 General] FAUguy:
I have updated the thread.
[LG V10 General] BFCE:
There's like atleast a $300 bounty already. If I'm not mistaken, I've put in 100, and like 4 people have put in 50

---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 AM ----------

LOL. Just noticed the change in thread title. Hopefully that'll get the attention of some developers.
[LG V10 General] mikeyinid:
Bounty is cool but it doesn't matter if the devs don't even have the device. Which they don't. I've said it before, its better to come together and get a dev the device. One that agrees to work on an exploit not just someone they hope will.
[LG V10 General] mingkee:
Actually, you can temporary disable root in SuperSU in order to setup Android Pay.
[LG V10 General] kangi26:
That is totally the truth
[LG V10 General] s2kpdx:
I'll pledge $50 as well to unlock the bootloader on AT&T
[LG V10 General] CheatCodePi:
Someone put me on for $50 on Verizon on the spreadsheet, can't seem to do it on my work computer :D please and thanks!
[LG V10 General] jedthehumanoid:
I could be wrong but I don't think the KDZ images for the V10 are even available yet. I've actually found it surprising how many T-Mobile users have been willing to root their phones. They would really be f&*ked if something went wrong and they can't flash the KDZ to get back to stock...

But whatever.

As for the topic, I would love to see root for this device (I have the ATT model) but I'm really curious: Does anyone even know how likely it would be to get Verizon and ATT models root? It just seems like its not a easy as it used to be. With my old G2, root was out before I even bought the phone!
[LG V10 General] r109:
I'm hoping for root wifi tethering and the ZeroLemon battery <3
[LG V10 General] DJJasonK:
Put me down for $50 On root and $100 if they get the boot loader unlocked too.

[LG V10 General] l.l:
Pledging $20 for the VWZ root. Want my UDP hotspot back, plus some f-ing permission control!
[LG V10 General] CheatCodePi:
How do you propose the best way to do that? Would using money from the bounty make any sense once it passes the price of the retail cost of the phone?
[LG V10 General] r109:
AT&T here need that rooted

[LG V10 General] clockcycle:
Just a though, has anyone with knowledge tried the G4 method of injecting root to a backed up system.img?
[LG V10 General] jcase:
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.
[LG V10 General] IEatKittys!:
would it matter if the esn is bad? they have a couple for sale on ebay, but with bad esn's
[LG V10 General] jcase:
Not at all

Edit

Those are still outside of what I can spend on this. Last LG i dropped on cost me $2100+ for devices (3), cant be doing that again, didnt even make up 1/3 of that

Can someone dump system off of one for me? Are any of these "unlocked" or rootable at this time
[LG V10 General] IEatKittys!:
someone posted a t mobile one. idk if that'll help you since its already unlocked

[LG V10 General] sharky481232:
I already hAve a dump zipping it up and I'll upload in a bit.
[LG V10 General] kaluna00:
How big (Mb or Gb) are those system pulls? I got something to come up but it looked to be 'skipping' alot of stuff. and one pull ended up being like 6.5Mb and the other was like 25Mb... not sure why they were different either...
[LG V10 General] sharky481232:
I think it was close to 3GB if I am not mistaken, I left it to upload and stepped out for a bit.

Do you have ADB Debugging Enabled in Developer Options?
[LG V10 General] BFCE:
I can do this on my AT&T device if you'd like. I know there's a bigger incentive for Verizon right now though.
[LG V10 General] Dennisg34:
I switched last Friday from Verizon to T-Mobile and I never looked back! So awesome to never worry about this anymore and having a full BL unlocked phone. Not to mention 3 upgrades a year!

I'm pretty sure the g4 for Verizon got root, but I haven't followed LG phones in the past.

I have no intention of upgrading the stock firmware on the v10 any time soon.

I know the chances of Note 5 (or 4, or 3 for that matter) are slim to none.

What has been the track record of LG phones and root in the past?
[LG V10 General] LBJM:
I have a VZW LG G3 that is rooted.... My VZW note 3 is rooted. Usually all the flag ship phones get root, it's the unlocked bootloader that is hit or miss.
[LG V10 General] nostang3:
I pledged for Verizon. Holding off on this phone till root and it's killing me.
[LG V10 General] motrinHD:
Verizon G4 is rooted and can have xposed installed. G3 has custom ROM support for all variants. (correct me if i'm wrong)

i own a g3 and g4.
[LG V10 General] Telemachus:
You are lucky with the note 3. Anything over 4.4.4 is unrootable. Note 4 NEVER got root. Note 5 unlikely.
[LG V10 General] Radeax:
Think you need to fix your link =)

By the way, I did some fixes since it looked like no one was going to do it:

I moved the 2 users who were under the duplicated Verizon column (renamed to Sprint) to the original Verizon column. There was a third but his name was already under the Verizon one. I also deleted Sprint because from what I know, there isn't a Sprint model. I deleted the empty T-Mobile H901 column because they already have root and bootloader unlocked.

I'm willing to donate a hundred bucks for the att version. I had the note 4 through AT&T and was disappointed that I couldn't root it. Hopefully someone manages to root this thing
[LG V10 General] jcase:
Pretty much, I have a couple vulnerabilities that may yield root for us, but I am trying to avoid what happened with the LG G4, i soft bricked a couple devices before firmware was available. I'm not willing to buy three v10s like i did with the g4.

I will continue once I have a current AT&T LG v10 tot.
[LG V10 General] KiRyah:
I'll put in a hundred dollars to that! Where do I sign up?
[LG V10 General] BFCE:
Should we really even be trying before marshmallow comes out? Do these vulnerabilities work on marshmallow? Do you think the method of achieving root will be the same for both AT&T and Version? If so, do you think the budget of 3, almost 4 phones is enough? QUESTIONS!!
[LG V10 General] jcase:
What i have, assuming i get it working, will work on all v10s.

No, I don't want to buy multiple phones, hence needing a tot.

Yes worth doing it before marshmallow, especially if we want it in a timely fashion.
[LG V10 General] BFCE:
Excuse my ignorance I just joined here the other day, specifically because of this phone, what is a TOT?
[LG V10 General] Radeax:
Copy and paste from a quick Google search:
[LG V10 General] BFCE:
Oh, thanks, I could send my AT&T v10 tot over if someone tells me how to do it
[LG V10 General] TayzGpa:
I agree. Perhaps waiting for marshmallow is the best way to go. Unless the TOT will work for both.
[LG V10 General] jcase:
Can you tell me why it would be better to wait for marshmallow before trying to exploit this device? I disagree 110%, as once marshmellow comes, dmverity will be enforced, it will be harder and much less fun to persist.
[LG V10 General] DJJasonK:
Once you have root there's typically a way to keep it during an upgrade. Once you take an upgrade without root the phone might not ever get root again.
[LG V10 General] BFCE:
We are the lucky ones then. Presumably rooted LG V10s on att and verizon will always be extremely rare.

[LG V10 General] KAsp3rd:
I know the first instructions on that link won't work... It the recovery that I created for the H901. And I would suggest that framaroot (or whatever it is called) would not work or [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] would not have to actually find an exploit.
[LG V10 General] hackercity:
Dude... You should do a little research before second guessing the man...

Of it wasn't for him, I strongly believe Android development would be non-existent.

The guy is in some way part responsible for the most hardest and unattainable exploits and unlocks known. There could be a million dollar bounty out but the guy will not do it for the bounty. In fact I know he has turned them down on other devices.

So, we should be honored that he is even interested in unlocking this device. I have T-Mobile so a few commands and I am unlocked. I hope and know he will unlock it for other varients, which just means more developers.
