2 Questions About V10 - T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
This will be my next device and as per usual the questions begin. I know we dont have any root for the Dual SIM device yet (H961N) Because no TWRP.
However; Whats stopping us from flashing the H901 Recovery just to install Supersu?
Does the device allow the bootloader to be unlocked on the H961N version?

[Q] unlock bootloader????

ok,but we do that by recovery menu if it´s unlocked by default is there a default bootloader menu??
hope you understand what i´m asking because i dont write english very well...
EDIT. well you make me think about coming open by default and hi use an app to reboot to bootloader since hi dont have a power menu on my rom,
and it reboots to fastboot mode so i´m getting the picture recovery menu it´s more friendly use....
but i read somewhere here in xda that flash a recovery or a rom by fastboot mode is somehow mor safe for all phones because flash memory as some kind of lifetime but that´s another war ,i think that now i have the bases to learn another way to play with the phone thank´s for your help....

Please don't ask same question in different threads
Most phones from for example HTC did have a locked bootloader, but with already released or upcoming updates this lock will be removed. Don't know if Samsung does the same also for some of the phones which have a locked bootloader.
If you want to know ik a specific phone has a locked bootloader, perhaps Google can give you an answer.

The ability to install custom kernel on our phone itself tells that our bootloader is unlocked.Idk any other way to check it.

If you don't mind losing your data, enable developer options then see if there is an option for "enable OEM unlock". If there is, check the box and reboot. Then make sure you have your drivers installed, open a terminal and run adb reboot bootloader. if it boots to bootloader, run fastboot oem unlock.

There's a toggle in Developer Option that will enable the unlocking of Bootloader. I don't see any workaround about the rooting for this V10 series.
i have LG v10 H960 variant. i can see in the developer option the unlock bootloader option. Does it mean i can unlock and root my phone?
Pretty sure everyone has the toggle but only t-mobile version can actually be unlocked.

See another thread about root bounty.
Long story short, there was found a way, but it's insecure and the author will not release it until a TOT file is available (for phone unbrick/firmware reflash) - so be patient, it may take months, or will not happen ever...

So did anyone found a method to root the h960yk or should i sell my phone ?

Is it possible to use the official unlock bootloader for H860?!

I have been surfing the web for couple of days to find a way to unlock the bootloader for LG G5 H860, but i couldnt find any thing
could any one help me with that ?
not possible. H850 EU only... as stated on the official site as well as the XDA G5 thread for bootloader unlocking.
To expand on what @autoprime said, at the moment, the only model that can have the bootloader unlocked is the H850.

probably not YET possible. We still have to wait for someone to discover an exploit. Non-unlockable bootloader doesn't necessarily mean no root forever, there are billions of ways out there to do it, but no one has found it yet for our variant. I remember rooting my Xperia Acro S without unlocking it (even though it was possible at that time). I love the phone anyway, even without root.
any update about unlocked boot loader for h860 (dual sim)?
Thanks!

I've graduated to the G5 from the G3, the bootloader for which was locked down tight by LG. The geniuses working on the G3 developed an exploit called Bump! that let users flash ROMs on the G3 despite its locked bootloader. It would be nice if something equivalent could be developed for the G5.

I have Tmobile and it has a Tmobile unlock app and I clicked on it and now it says my phone is Unlocked . I had to reboot like 3 times and then it said my phone is permanently unlocked .

Sorry, m8 that means it's network unlocked not bootloader unlocked. Wish it was easy as an app but only Exynos models are supported as of right now since their bootloaders are unlocked out of the box.

Root and Bootloader Unlock

I have the unlocked version of this phone. I don't see anything about root or unlocking the bootloader? Really all I want is root so I can run Network Signal Guru...
Good morning,
unfortunatly I checked yesterday and wrote also to the dev... it is still not available from Official LG Web site.

Unlocked versions is about the carrier is unlocked meaning it doesn't have a carrier/plan locked with it. It doesn't mean it have an unlocked bootloader. If you really want a unlocked bootloader phone in 2020, get OnePlus or Xiaomi, they are more dev friendly.
Also, with LG's history of supporting developers, this will not likely to get unlocked bootloaders later.

I think Motorola is dev friendly too. My friend say they give everything to root her phones. ??
I don't think someone will find a way to root the LG phones after the V30 model. My old phone before my new G8x was the V30 and it was complex to root, so I don't know for the most recent models ??*
I downloaded Treble info from play store and this is what I get;

This doesn't mean it is rooted. It is probably used for LG to do Treble thing.

I know but it shows that systemless root could be used and GSI roms could be used if twrp and root can be achieved.

Yea, you are right. But you guys won't get unlcoks and root anyway because you know LG's history. But it is a possibility that LG might allow that 1-2 years later.
Can we unlock the bootloader on the G8x with this method?
https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
It seem that this tutorial from LG work with the LG G7. But, I wonder if it work on the most recent model.

You don't need network signal guru. There's some secret code that you can get from a simple google search to get into the secret field test menu. It gives all the network related info and let's you lock on to specific 4g bands as well.
LG supports G850EMW for G8X as well as V50s. I already received unlock.bin.
A bigger problem is extracting boot.img from the stock ROM. The latest LG KDZ Extract tool is from 2014 and doesn't handle the new DZ format.
Using the 'KSZ extractor for new format KDZs' by runningnak3d I could extract boot.img from a G850EMW20a ROM (Android 10). This will allow systemless root with Magisk.
Dec 15: rooted.
