[T-Mobile LG V10 General] jun19inf:
Hello everyone,

Here are some step by step guides for those of you who need detailed instructions for rooting and un-rooting the T-mobile LG V10.

The guides are short and to the point and are meant to be followed one after the other (STEP#1 --> STEP#2 --> STEP#3).

For the step#3 guide, you must choose one out of the three available:

UnRoot, stock, or custom MM 6.0

Guides:

Tmobile-LGV10_pre_flash_MM_6_0_requirements_STEP_1

Tmobile-LGV10_pre_flash_MM_6_0_requirements_STEP_2

Tmobile-LGV10_flash_Stock_UnRoot_MM_6_0_STEP_3 <------ If you want to just have stock MM 6.0 only (no root, use this if you want to return the phone or sell it)

Tmobile-LGV10_flash_Root_Stock_MM_6_0_STEP_3 <------ If you want to just have stock MM 6.0 with root only

Tmobile-LGV10_flash_Root_Custom_MM_6_0_STEP_3 <------ If you want to have a custom MM 6.0 ROM with root

Tmobile-LGV10_Dirty_Cow_Root_MM_6_0 <------ If you want to gain root access on your stock MM 6.0 rom using the "dirty cow" exploit

The guides will walk you through:

Downloading and Installing the necessary drivers / tools

Unlocking your bootloader

Flashing the stock .kdz file

Flashing the rooted .TOT file

Using TWRP to gain root status

I assume the following:

Your T-mobile LG V10 phone is already on MM 6.0 not lollipop

If you are on lollipop YOU MUST follow the guides below in the exact order listed:

Tmobile-LGV10_pre_flash_MM_6_0_requirements_STEP_1

Tmobile-LGV10_pre_flash_MM_6_0_requirements_STEP_2

Tmobile-LGV10_flash_Root_Stock_MM_6_0_STEP_3

(If you don't,

YOU WILL

brick your phone! Also, keep in mind that once you upgrade to MM 6.0

YOU WILL NOT

be able to downgrade!!)

You are using a Microsoft Windows operating system (Windows 7 or above)

You understand that all data on your phone will be deleted

You understand that your warranty is now gone

You understand that YOU MUST follow the

guides

one after the other (1 -> 2 -> 3). If you deviate from this

YOU WILL NOT

be successful in rooting your phone

You understand that YOU MUST follow the

steps in the guides

one after the other (1 -> 2 -> 3). If you deviate from this

YOU WILL NOT

be successful in rooting your phone

Your phone's

USB PC Connection

(mode your phone is in when connected to your PC) is on Media device (MTP) mode. ADB and Fastboot commands to the device

WILL NOT

work if device is not on this mode

***Un-root***​

If you want to "

un-root

" your device (go back to default stock) use the Tmobile-LGV10_flash_Stock_UnRoot_MM_6_0_STEP_3 guide.

(Keep in mind that this

WILL DELETE

all data on the phone)

***Fastboot device not detected issue***​

Please click on the link below and follow the guide:

Manually installing Android ADB USB Driver

***Dirty Cow Exploit for Root***​

I have added a new guide Tmobile-LGV10_Dirty_Cow_Root_MM_6_0 for those of you who would like to use the "Dirty Cow" exploit to gain root access

Link to download the guide (in case the guide attached to this thread is not showing): Click --> Tmobile-LGV10_Dirty_Cow_Root_MM_6_0

Using this exploit will allow you to install TWRP on your phone which allows you to install SuperSU.

Yes, this method to gain root works on the new software update H90120L as well as the older ones

You will have to first complete all of the steps in the guides listed below

before attempting to use the Dirty Cow exploit.

- Tmobile-LGV10_pre_flash_MM_6_0_requirements_STEP_1

- Tmobile-LGV10_pre_flash_MM_6_0_requirements_STEP_2

Keep in mind that this exploit will eventually be patched

I am not responsible

for what you do to your phone

***Disclaimer***​

I take no responsibility in what you do to your phone

The step-by-step guides in this thread were made with the assumption that you will

strictly follow them

one after the other.

(If you don't,

YOU WILL

brick your phone!)

READ! READ! READ! Search this thread, read the guides one by one step by step, and pay attention to detail! Most problems have solutions, you just have to do a little homework.

If you run into an problem,

verify that you have correctly completed all the steps for each guide

before posting to this thread. Most problems come from guides / steps that were skipped.

Not all phones are created equal. What works for one person's phone might not work for your phone. Some phones have hardware issues

that may not arise until you attempt to circumvent security aka (root, install TWRP, etc.)

Use a laptop that is fully charged and plugged in to an outlet instead of a regular PC (unless it has a UPS attached to it) just in case you lose power during the flashing process.

(If you use a regular PC

without a UPS

attached to it and you lose power during the flashing process,

YOU WILL

brick your phone!)

I would like to thank the following people:

Tungkick

For his support

Root for both (H90120e and H90120j) <-- You are the man sir!!

Instructions on flashing and recovering from boot-loop

Anyone else I forgot to mention and or involved in allowing the rest of us to get root on our beloved LG V10 phones again. The android community is awesome!!!

Please leave a thank you if you find any of this helpful
