Question, I presume root also means custom recovery? Or just purely root?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] thunderbls:
Root is just root.. Twrp or any custom recoveries can follow but not always. This may be the first device I won't root.... I say that now but who am I kidding lol.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Locklear308:
I hate to do this, and I apologize if it's rude...but I'm going to have to retract my bounty. HTC had won me over with their unlockedable bootloader on the HTC 10.

Can't beat an OEM allowing you the ability to unlock and keep the warranty!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anarchist77:
Yeah i read that too, sounds good. Hopefully their warranty terms, when finalised, will give a win-win situation... Fingers crossed for anyone who's getting one ?

Shame most manufacturers aren't following suit.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] tribalartgod:
I see in the OP that root has been achieved with LGTool by beaups and jcase... Since when is rooting...easy? Any way to get the instructions for this one? When rooting, it's at one's own risk... Not saying I'll do it, but I'd at least like to look over the instructions.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] DualSportDad:
Me too. I can follow directions very well. Haha
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I thought the same thing, but beaups and jcase are working on a new tool and it should be released soon
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Martin6040:
Put me down for $10 on the sprint variant.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] janhendrik8:
When you say soon. Do you mean In the next week/month. Or do you mean in the same amount of time the S5 has been waiting for root on AT&T
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] wolfgart:
i don't really think [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] and [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] are relly working here for LG Section.

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] always told that he won't work here and he has no time to work here.

They only release stuff for HTC devices

Considering that I had a conversation with him directly and he told me they ARE working on the G5, I can safely say IT WILL BE RELEASED SOON
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] wolfgart:
I don't think bro ... :).

My 2 cents here

sent from my tmo G5
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] beaups:
Had a conversation with whom?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Jcase. He said that he will release the tool when it is more user-friendly
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] janhendrik8:
Did he provide a time frame?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcase:
I never said it would be released soon, not that I recall at least.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kchannel9:
Thank you man, we appreciate you! I am less concerned now about potentially needed to return the G5
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcase:
It could be years out for all i know.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kchannel9:
Lol, ???? what would be the point in that? Heheh
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcase:
point is i never publicly promised anything, nor did I ever promise it soon. Someone took a private conversation, exaggerated it a tad and posted bits of it.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kchannel9:
Oh fo sho! I'm not expecting anything, especially not in a specific timeframe. Just psyched multiple people are working on it! Thank you once again ::thumbsup::

Heh the HTC 10 doesnt have a removable battery, as big of a screen, as good of cameras, or the IR blaster though. I really love having an IR blaster. That being said, it still might be worth it if it has root on vzw lmao.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Yup the m9 had abysmal battery life and the camera was just barely ok. But it had root at least

Sorry, I must have misunderstood you when you said that
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] wolfgart:
i think you should stop and close this bounty.

On G5 we don't have right attitudine here on XDA....

Close it and wait for LG
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
The right attitude? There's a root out there and we want it, that's why everyone is freaking out. No matter how difficult it is to do, there's IS a way to get root and people are willing to learn how to use it. The wrong attitude is hiding away the root because someone is "too busy" to post how to use it.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MicroMod777:
Its getting harder each year for devices to get root and twrp with even less devs even capable of even doing it.

Soon very best devices will be locked down forever. It is what it is sadly.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] riggsandroid:
this is why we can't have nice things.

how dare someone who is working for peanuts be too busy with their real life to not placate the masses on XDA?!?!

if you wanted a phone with root access, you should have bought a Nexus. *full stop*
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I have a Nexus 5 and that's what I'm using until root is out for the G5.

What I meant is that if there is a root out, just post it and let people decide whether or not they want to use it even if it is difficult
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] thecubed:
Calm down people.

Good things happen to those who wait. Nobody here is intentionally hiding things away just to be uber 'secret squirrel'-- releasing anything takes time and we're all busy with real life.

If you can't deal with the wait, get another phone or don't root.

Didn't your parents teach you anything about asking "are we there yet?" while on a road trip?

EDIT: I should also say that I understand not everyone feels the same way as those that are complaining. And, as usual, thanks to those people who are patiently waiting. You guys are da best.

Sorry I just can't stand this for much longer. The more you whine the longer it takes for these kinds of things. Please just give them space and let them take their time to make it as perfect and without bugs as possible.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
My anger is at tmobile for getting cocky and allowing this and lg for changing the boot system. Team codefire is a life saver. They are the little hope I have. I had a perfect rooted v10 and jumped to this when the unlocked boot for tmobile was confirmed. Lg basically only gave us one key to the two locks.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] JF-GINO:
Hmm…

You know, This entire situation with the G5 is exactly the same S@#t we had with the Note Edge.

Difference was in unorthodox Root method via kernel (not fastboot / bootloader lock)

The problem there was we did not have any good developers and I had the Canadian model which had basically only a few knowledgeable modders.

I wanted root sooooooo bad but no one could do it and the S6 had a leaked kernel, note 4 had a similar method made by a very well known developer. We did not, and it was a mess. I could not wait any longer as I was ready to throw the phone at a frikkin wall.

What did I do? I learned how to mod the kernel myself, worked with another talented kernel author in the Sprint forums and gained root myself for my device. At this point, I had put myself in the same position as JCase was – but I did not share my root method as I had more to learn to make the kernel stable. The root worked but the kernel was very unstable… I had to migrate the Canadian kernel drivers and modem stuff, ramdisk parts, manually edit others and it took almost 3 extra weeks before I got it just right…. I posted it and it was softbricking peoples phones.. Why? Cause I neglected to add a few lines into a modified file. Couldn’t figure it out cause my phone was ok but I modded this stuff earlier and forgot. 2 days after, I posted a corrected/modded version from the other developer and we had root.

BTW, I did all this while on the road driving from vacation in turkey going back to Istanbul. I did it all in the back seat of a car. Now if that’s not dedication to your device, I don’t know what is..

Point of the story is that even when you think something is impossible, its just a matter of time – be patient.. if you cant, do what I did – I learned to do it myself! Let Team Codefire do what they can without bustin balls. Else, get rid of the device and get an S7 or something.

Trust me here, there are more problems down the road for us then just gaining access to the bootloader. Im still pretty sure this device will get opened up 

PS: Im still using my Note edge as my daily driver till I get my g5 rooted so we are all in the same boat here.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] I-IoLLoW:
I'm glad you said it, watching people freak over this has made me sick. This is my third LG phone(Sprint lgog and Sprint LG g3 before moving to Tmo G5) and you guys have always been all over it. Not only that but as busy as you guys are you've always found time to chat a bit on irc. I've consistently went to [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] just to bs and gain some knowledge and he's been nothing but awesome. So sincerely, thank you and everyone at codefire(even the ones I've never spoken to). And a secondary thanks for not judging us all by the actions of the loud, entitled/impatient members. :)

Thought I would post some nonsense (all be it true) to lighten the mood. As much as I also would like to root this device I understand it will not happen overnight. Why in such a rush that you may jump ship? (Rehtorical don't answer that please) The only reason I need root is for removing bloat and using as much data on my unlimited plan as I can via tethering. With fox fi working (currently) and with how snappy the phone is out of box and sd exp it becomes a want. If I have an itch to flash I have other devices for that. :)

You know that this boot loader unlock is for European G5s only right? And the first post in this thread says this bounty is for a US version. Just letting you know. It might not be a relevant link for here.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] raynan:
So...to get things back on track, I'll add in $10 USD for a simple root solution for any carrier; I'll make it $25 USD if root happens within 2 months of the device being released; $50 USD for the RS988 (when it eventually starts shipping). Sorry if that's a little complicated

EDIT: Due to recent events involving this thread, I am deferring my contributions. My statement above still holds true, regardless of who achieves root. I am simply holding off pending the outcome of this thread.

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] removed the link for a reason and i cannot imagine he wanted another person to post it and share it with everyone on XDA as he stated it was not user friendly and people would brick their phones due to lack of knowledge. You sir are encouraging newbs to brick their devices. pretty sad i must say.:rolleyes:

Furthermore, you don't have permission from [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] or [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] to redistribute their work on XDA... sounds like you want a thread closed. I don't think pissing off devs and undermining team code fire will yield anyone a safe root method. In fact your actions could delay the process for the MANY of us who ARE PATIENT.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcase:
Congrats, you just ensured that I don't publish what I have been working on for the last week. You know the tool is dangerous, you know it will brick devices, you know I didn't want it published. You showed complete disregard for myself, and the community by publishing it. You published it in an incomplete undocumented state.

Hopefully this has been a lesson learned and people will just patiently wait for a full and proper release to be made available.
