[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] 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 G5.

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 guides below:

Guides:

Tmobile-LGG5_pre_flash_MM_6_0_1_requirements_STEP_1

Tmobile-LGG5_pre_flash_MM_6_0_1_requirements_STEP_2

Tmobile-LGG5_flash_root_with_stock_MM_6_0_1_Re-install_STEP_3 <------ If you want to re-install stock MM 6.0.1 with root

Tmobile-LGG5_flash_root_with_stock_MM_6_0_1_Upgrade_only_STEP_3 <------ If you want to root current stock MM 6.0.1

Tmobile-LGG5_flash_Stock_UnRoot_MM_6_0_1_STEP_3 <------ If you want to have stock MM 6.0.1 only (no root, use this if you want to return the phone or sell it)

They 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:

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

Your phone's

USB PC Connection

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

WILL NOT

work if device is not on this mode

You read the Changelog + News & Additions post

***Un-root***​

If you want to "

un-root

" your device (go back to default stock) use the Tmobile-LGG5_flash_Stock_UnRoot_MM_6_0_1_STEP_3 guide.

(Keep in mind that this

WILL DELETE

all data on the 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!)

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.

If possible 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 for making all of this possible:
