There's supposedly a method that is much much easier coming out within a month or so after it's done beta testing.

no custom roms just yet. only root.
ive been trying to unlock the bootloader now i couple of days with no luck.
even tho with root and xposed and g2 tweaksbox and gravitybox you can dop alot
If we get Loki to work, then we will finally get custom recoveries/roms without unlocking the bootloader .
@Garcia98 is working on it.
EDIT: Bootloader Unlocked, no need for Loki anymore.

i hope we can make this work ASAP, i just hate that i dont have more knowlidge on this matter or else i would try everything to make it work. :silly:
Is there a way to dump the bootloader.img and then decompile it, so that we can perhaps find something there?
EDIT: Is it possible to dump the bootloader by doing the following?
Code:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/bootloader
exit
adb pull /sdcard/bootloader
Or perhaps:
Code:
adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
(Probably a case of "Too easy to work")
And then decompile (or probably reverse-engineer it)?

Unfourtunally not (yet)
Sent from my Nexus 10 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Probably won't be any custom roms either since G2 Mini is confirmed to get Android L, therefore by October all custom roms will be obsolete. You can expect work to start after Google releases Android L in September and G2 Mini gets it which should be somewhere in October.

Follow this guide to set up your build environment.
Get the 'local_manifest_w7.xml' put it in your .repo/local_manifests folder.
Make a 'repo sync'
It will update your CM source with the w7 device tree developed by Quarx.
Then you can compile CM11 for w7 on your pc using 'brunch w7'.
It complied with no errors on my ubuntu box.
Then you can follow this guide to port it to G2 mini:
How To Port CyanogenMod Android To Your Own Device
Good luck!

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...

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

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

Depending on what you want to do with the unlocked bootloader.
I´ve just unrooted my phone and re-locked the bootloader. My banking apps couldn´t be used with a locked bootloader and root.
I am satisfied with EMUI and have no need to use custom roms.
I have deleted my bloatware with this method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-10/how-to/guide-removing-apps-bootloader-unlock-t3855067
And DNS66 seems to work just as fine as Adaway.
