So I'm building a custom dash mount for an 8" tablet, and I'd love to use my v520 G Pad X 8.0, but I'll probably grab a Nexus if the future is looking dim on this current setup.. So just wondering, would you guys assume that rooting the AT&T variant is probably never gonna happen..??
Thanks..
I am curious about this as well. This would be the first LG device I have owned that will not have been rooted. I probably wouldn't have bothered with the deal from ATT if I had suspected it would never be rooted.

I do not know. Is there a way to check? My v520 has a cracked digitizer, so I would be more than happy to be a Guinea pig.

Try to issue this command in adb termknal (adb reboot bootloader) if it take you to the fastboot mode then it can be unlocked

Unfortunately, all it did was reboot back into android. SO I am assuming root won't be coming this way. Doubt I'll even repair this since I can't root it.
I am assuming an OEM unlock code is needed?
One additional thing: I can enable OEM Unlock in the Developer Options

Has there been any action on getting this to root? I bought this not realizing the V521 was different. What a bummer so far!

Makes me wonder if the DirtySanta method for lg v20s could possibly work or be made to work. Unfortunately, that is WAY out of my scope of abilities and me2151 has ceased all further work on DirtySanta since everything he had done was on a laptop that was stolen from him (IIRC).

Hello,
I have been trying to research how bootloaders get unlocked without manufacturer help and not coming up with many results. I want to learn how to root and unlock bootloaders and create recoveries and everything to help out accessing and customizing devices, but trying to find things to read and learn about those topics hasn't turned up much helpful threads or info at all, if anyone could direct me to where I could learn how to do all those things that'd be awesome! Also, thinking about bootloader for vs990, could we not just take an unlocked t-mobile bootloader and customize to the correct paths and values for vs990? What about the kdz file, can that be used to modify the boot security and unlock the bootloader or not? Thanks for the info and your time in advanced!

That method doesn't work on vs990, Verizon locked it down so when you try to get to bootloader even through adb reboot bootloader it just reboots to the system. No fastboot commands possible.

Well we did just get root a week ago... So don't give up hope just yet, give it a little more time and hopefully they'll crack through the security or overwrite the boot partition all together or something so we can get custom roms.
As of 3/24/2016, they have not unlocked the bootloader nor made any recovery system for the LG V10.

Sadly. That's why I was hoping for someone to know of some resource I could use to learn how to crack the bootloader to unlock it and to get twrp up and running on v10. There is an unofficial twrp for t-mobile v10.

More power to you. Best option right now is to write Verizon a crap ton of letters and see if they'll unlock the bootloader.

Hey, it worked in Shawshank Redemption lol. Just write them the same exact letter, every day.
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.

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.
Hello everyone,
As you know there are people working on the laf exploit, well I found my way and now I'm helping out on the v30 end. Unfortunately, I have Verizon variant of the v30 when right now I need the the fully unlocked us998. Can I get somebody who would be willing to work with me who has that specific variant? Let me know if you'd be willing to help by commenting down below and I will contact you via xda messages to start. Thank you ahead of time for willingness to help! Hope to hear comments really quickly! Thank you
I have the US998 V30+
I just flashed it to the Verizon Oreo KDZ. Not sure if it is any different than yours now.

I guess it depends what you mean by "fully unlocked."

Wow.. nice
It seems like there's a variant of the V60 that can be bootloader unlocked (the Euro ver.) and back when I had the V30 we did something similar where you would have to convert your NA variant (Or any variant that was not listed in LG's official bootloader unlocking site [EXCEPT T-MOBILE]) to the supported variant's firmware then flash the unlock.bin file.
I dont know how useful this will be for the V60 though, just sharing my previous experience just too scared to test this method on my daily driver.

Yes, european versions(mine) always get bootloader unlock. But from what I know it's impossible to unlock any other versions untill someone find an exploit. And since v60 isn't very popular I doubt there will be unlock for any other version of it(about european).

Only European version of v60 supports bootloader unlocking. So you can't get root.
That's why I'll never buy this. Will stick with my old LG which is good enough.
damn what a shame, such a great phone and yet not much interest in general.
According to Unlock Bootloader Support list from LG, LMV600EA is the only device ca n be root
with the long battery life and extra screen and stylus , the v60 might be my first daily driver thats not got root.
I used to use lots of apps for root, mainly firewall to block apps from internet use and UI apps for fast system navigation and non standard features, but most of these can now be done with non root apps and cloning apps with networking disabled now, so im feeling i might just survive without the few apps that do need root.
