[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
LG G5

ROOT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED BY USING "LGTool by beaups and jcase" BUT THE DEVS WILL NOT BE CLAIMING THE BOUNTY BECAUSE THEY DON'T FEEL IT IS SIMPLE ENOUGH TO GET IT. FIND A DIFFERENT WAY TO ROOT/UNLOCK AND YOU CAN CLAIM THE BOUNTY

MOD EDIT: THIS LINK IS REMOVED AT REQUEST OF OWNERS OF THE SOFTWARE YOU'RE LINKING AS IT WILL BRICK THEIR PHONES

LG JUST RELEASED AN OFFICIAL BOOTLOADER UNLOCK FOR THE G5 EUROPE VARIANT. HERE IS A LINK FOR THAT: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/development/official-european-lg-g5-h850-bootloader-t3363040

All credit, and a personal thanks goes out to open1your1eyes0 for the use of his S4 Bounty template here.

I put priority on getting this up quickly - so pretty directly used his format to get the bounty thread up and running.

Bounty Details

Hello everyone! I'm starting this thread to keep track of the bounty for rooting the G5. I've seen a few posts pop up about paying whoever roots it first, so if you are interested in donating money to the first person to successfully root the G5 please post your amount and I'll add it add it all up and keep the total amount updated. As I am only 15 and don't (at the moment) have a job, I cannot start off with any bounty but I will be adding some as some point also!

Greatly looking forward to anyone interested in becoming a candidate in this challenge to find a means for root.
