You can root without unlocking the bootloader.

Yes you can. If you have the D625 LTE version, you should try version 1 instead of the newest.
I have 620r
Try root LG G2 MINI D620r,V10g with towelroot but it said, this phone isnt supported. Any tips for rooting this phone?

Did you try the other versions of Towelroot? Certain ones work better with certain versions of the phone and updates. If not that, possible that the older method via update.zip in stock recovery could work: http://hexamob.com/devices/how-to-root-lg-g2-mini/ or a bit more difficult but end result being that you can also install a custom recovery and root that way or install roms would be to unlock the bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/bootloader-unlock-t2827748 . Might want to check with the OP to see if your update is supported by that method, just to be certain.

I was rooted with locked bootloader on an older version of the firmware, having used the EasyRootTool v12.2. I was using the paid version of SuperSU and had selected Survival Mode. I just upgraded to 4.4.4 (resigned to no more root) but much to my surprise I still had root after the upgrade. :good::laugh::good:

kingroot,kingo root this two are better app for rooting and you don't need to backup to root your device.Though titanium backup is a good backup tool for android.

I was under the impression that you could not root the LG K7 because I wasn't able to root the LG K3 (Boost Mobile). But which program should I use? -- Kingo Root or King Root?

First I would like to say iam a noob but not the first day of school noob Galaxy S3 is my pride and joy but I have a love for Lg I mostly been modding my gs3 lately all 6 but I been dabbling with MetroPCS lg k7 what worked for me was I installed Mobogenie on my laptop and installed king root I was able to do a backup and one click root that way I haven't been able to install a true recovery just yet.

Hey guys its me again I just want to ask a simple question. Can I unroot my phone even with recovery installed?Will recovery still work after unroot? Here is the problem. I want to play Pokemon GO but rooted phones aren't supported so I want to unroot my phone using kingo PC because I also rooted my phone using Kingo PC. I am very worried. Will this affect my games' performance like hitman sniper,Need for speed etc.? BTW my phone is an Xperia S running on Android 6.0.1. Please reply.
Remove root won't affect your recovery

Yup
Does an unlocked bootloader lend itself to rooting your phone?
Also, is it possible to root with just ADB and SuperSU?

Depends on what phone you have, and what has been developed for it, but, for the most part, yes, unlocking the bootloader will at least enable you to root easily, and more.
Thanks for your answer!
Just to get it out there it's a Straight Talk ZTE Majesty Pro [Z799VL] and runs Android Marshmallow. I believe it was released back in March, so not much has been (or, probably, will be) done with it. Still, your answer gives me some hope.
