Lg g5 buying suggestions - LG G5 Questions & Answers

I've already bought the g5. But unfortunately I'll have to sell it because I have the Verizon version which one is unrootable. It's vs987. I'll sell this off and buy a new one. Which model is the best for rooting and custom roms? I'm a hardcore root user.

I have the same version, but still there is no root for H860.
I read in a forum somewhere that there is + $1200 as a bounty for whoever figure out how to root the g5 in general.

When purchasing my LG G4, I researched the LG G3 and saw the support. If you guys looked up the LG G4 prior to buying the G5 you would realize that there will be nothing or very little support for the device as the only 1 version have an unlocked bootloader. The others will never get it. This phone will turn out worse than the LG G4 which was extremely bad.
HI,
Is the LG G5 H860 is impacted by QuadRooter as it's not yet rooted?
Bye,
Proc.
I wish I saw this thread before I bought mine, LOL! I'm sure we'll get root eventually though.
Our variant h860 is it a US one (Verizon, Sprint) or a Taiwanese variant or something else ?

The H860 is SE Asia I believe.

agreed!!
The LG G5 is a really great smartphone, coming from a Note 5, I can say that it's the best phone that I ever used .
However, using a phone that its manufacturer is locking its bootloader makes me nervous ! The disability to root my device makes me uncomfortable ...
Has anyone tried using the H860N technique shown in this video (below) on their H860?

Not compatible bro. Also this guy has an old samsung in his video...
I was thinking about switching to LG5, but I'm glad I visited this forum for info before doing so. I guess I will just continue my quest. Thank you all.

Has anyone developed a root method for LG G5 H860 yet? I tried KingRoot, Stumproot and OneClickRoot but to no avail... even tried unlocking the bootloader via LG Developer site but it is no supported... please help.

Want to get the LG V10 but...

I found several listings of good used unlocked v10s for less than $250. With all the variants there are, which one do you guys recommend me getting? I am one who likes to root and have xposed and custom recoveries. I know currently the T-mobile is unlocked bootloader, but is there any development for any of the other v10s? International? AT&T? Verizon? Any hope for those phones or should I stick to an unlocked T-mo. variant?
Edit: Sorry guys, delete this thread. I have MetroPCS and I just now learned that a T-mobile device can work on Metro without being unlocked. So I will be buying a T-mobile LG V10 instead of an unlocked one.

Which model is the best one to get?

Hey everyone,
I've been looking for a new phone for some time now. I was playing around based on specifications I'd like my next phone to have, I currently have a Oneplus One and would like something a little more updated. I found the G5 to meet my requirements but it seems there are a ton of models and I'm not quite sure which one is good? I intend to root/rom/etc so which one would you guys recommend getting for someone with T-Mobile? Thanks in advance

The H830 is the T Mobile model and is rootable, and you can unlock the bootloader, the only other one I am aware of is the H850, only the EU model can be unlocked

Besides the H830 (which TMobile doesn't sell any longer the only other US model that is unlockable is the RS988. B&H photo has them on sale for 250 right now. They are brand new with full warranty. I just bought one from there last month which I rooted an am using on Verizon. I had the VS987 prior and also the H830. Which I rooted. But had an issue getting it sim unlocked for other carriers. The only thing that the RS988 can't do is wifi calling but I've never needed that anyway. The RS988 I got from B&H also was manufactured in 3/2017 so they have newer builds not old stock laying around. Verizon recently stopped selling this phone as well so it's only a matter of time before there are no new ones left.
Good Luck

LG G5 Sprint LS992 converted to LG G5 Canadian unlocked LG H831

Hey guys, i had this LS993 G6 Sprint unrooted and sim card locked for about a year. Months ago a few fellas here on XDA thrown away the idea that you could flash unlocked Canadian variant LG H873 firmware and you were going to be sim unlocked, Sprint debloated and maybe rootable. And it was a royal success:good::good:
I've just got this LG G5 Sprint LS992 from eBay for a buddy's birthday gift and i was thinking if can i do the very same process. With let's say flashing H831 (Canadian unlocked variant firmware) to achieve SIM unlock, Sprint debloat and probably root.
I've seen this very same conversion has been done with newer Sprint models like V30+ and a couple others so fingers crossed it can work. Please let me know if anyone has tried it.
****, i just realized the tittle of the thread says "converted" but i had in mine "can it be converted"... My apologize if anyone comes thinking i've already done it. It's a gift for a buddy so i would prefer not to risk bricking it.
Maybe someone has an already cracked or old one that can be risked.

Wich version of the LG V60 buy?
