I have an LG G6 (LG-H870) with android oreo 8.0.0, kernel version 3.18.71
I want to root in mainly to recover a couple videos I've deleted.
If there is a way to recover the videos without root that would be great, if not then I need some help rooting my device because I've never done it before.
The videos I've deleted were locked and I have "permanantly deleted" them as they don't go in the trash.
I've found this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/development/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3674088
Also, I know that rooting my phone voids my warranty so I was wondering if there was a way to unroot my phone in order to get back my warranty after I'm done recovering my videos/photos?
Basically...
Is there a way to recover deleted videos/images without rooting my device and if not then how do I safely root it?

Hi,
I have an LG Optimus One P500 and would like to root it. However, I spent all my cash on it and I wouldn't want to brick it or VOID THE WARRANTY. I need a method of rooting my Optimus that will not void my warranty, preferably a one click root app or something.
Please help me.
Thanks.
If your phone came with android 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 onboard, then rooting first involves downgrading the firmware to 2.2. This process has the most chances of bricking your device. There is no concrete way of ensuring that bricking does not happen, though if you follow the instructions correctly, you will in all probability have no problems as lots of people have sucessfully completed the instructions.
You can chose to root your phone using a one click app like 'z4root'. Since there is an option to unroot your phone,you wont void your warranty.
You can even restore the phone to factory state even after installing a Custom recovery or Custom ROM by installing Original Firmware provided by LG using the same procedure used to downgrade yourr firmeware. This will remove all the traces of your fiddling with the phone and thus will preserve warranty.
I suggest that you read this -

hi guys, i would like to ask some questions.
as we know, rooting phone void our warranty.
what i'm curious is, if i root my phone, then in case some problems occured, and i need to go back to samsung, can unroot my phone prevent samsung from checking that i had rooted the phone before?
thanks.
Well, I've got a different phone (Sony Ericsson) but I seem to remember that via Chainfire Method you can both get root and install ClockWorkMod Recovery 5, without involving the counter, whereas it shouldn't be si via Odin.
hi, i have a simple question, is it possible to root my device? i've never root my mega 6.3 since i bought it...... but i heard that the recent firmware have some problems in the possibility of rooting it.
there are a lots of guide but everyone say a different method. OK I AM A NOOB OF MODDING.
but is quite difficult to understand guides that are different in this way:
1) some indicates to just use an apk autorooting the device
2) some do require to change thekernel + manually install the superuser apk
3)not permanent root....
4) others......
so, please be patient......:angel: i only want to find a "normal" root method.......and IF POSSIBLE a root that could allow me to easily UNroot the device to be able to update my firmware OTA in the moment samsung will update our great device to kitkat
If you are a noob at modding don't even bother with rooting. Its dangerous and BTW I think your firmware has KNOX which the GMega doesn't have a workaround.

If you are brave enough you can try it using this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2574953
But read it thoroughly and if you do not understand one thing though - do not attempt to try.
Read forums and learn till you can understand what you are doing lest you have quite expensive paperweight... I am not responsible for what you do with your phone!
my previous phone was rooter, the optimus 3d and the ascend mate.
i don't need toor for extreme modding but just to install a custom recovery for a nandroid backup and for use SOME APP THAT REQUIRE root to work properly.
i never installed a recovery but i read everywhere that it is a lot usefull in case of some errors, to restore the previous backup made 1:1 (nandroid)
Every modding attempt must start from root and (optionally) custom recovery. In fact - rooting itself is modding and quite heavy from system point of view. If you want to change ONE THING in system, you have to root your phone. Doing this you are tripping 'warranty flag' and from now on your warranty is void.
If you have firmware with KNOX and new bootloader - tripping this flag is irreversible. But as long as you do not attempt to flash older firmware (before KNOX) it does not affect the operation of the system. Trying to flash older firmware makes your phone softbrick because of tripping security mechanism in new bootloader.
If you already rooted your phone it is resonable to flash custom recovery and by this have wide possiblity making backups of your whole system (nandroid backup) or flashing custom ROMs
Today I had a disasterous mishap and I accidentally deleted my entire camera photo album instead of just the one picture I was trying to delete. All day I've been researching recovery methods and everything out there requires my phone to be rooted. Up until now I've done everything in my power to avoid rooting the phone, but now I am up against it and so I need to root it as much as I don't want to.
So now I am researching root methods.... and it everything keeps pointing me to the ping-pong root method which apparently doesn't work on the current firmware version (G925VVRU4B0G9). Is there any other method that will allow me to root the phone and hopefully get back my pictures... preferably one that will 1) not trip knox, 2) allow me to unroot it putting it back to normal after i'm done, 3) not factory reset the phone?
Thanks,
Jeff

Sorry but no way to root and no way to downgrade either
Hi Guys, I just got my phone back from LG (bootloop). When it came back to me it had VS99029A installed with B15.LGE.VS990.0 configuration. I am wondering if it is possible to root it still or am I screwed now? I really don't want too brick it attempting to root it.
Thanks,
Erik
29A can't be root.
Thanks. I was afraid of that.
Just got mine back too, also 29A-- no way to downgrade, I assume, and no plans to work on a root for it?
Or if not root, at least twrp/something so I can flash apps rather than having to install them one-by-one?
