---------------------------(root method)---------------------------​

I am back with a new Phone the LG V20, so lets get her rooted and ready to go with some awesome videos

this post will have other methods added to it so i dont have more then one post everywhere

(please note i am running on VS99512A downgraded from 13A. i do not know if this will work on 13A or 14B and have no plans to test this. please ask others, if i see it is possible to root 13A and 14B or later i would not mind to make videos. i make a downgrade from 13A to 12A for those who needs help, just install LGUP and uppercut and it should work fine from there
