Looks like they removed the Q-Voice thing from the pull-up menu from the bottom. I'm not complaining! :laugh:

No I don't have a Verizon LG. I'm attaching a snapshot from the video linked above (at 4'07"). It shows the Verizon folder from the app drawer, with "Caller Name ID", "Cloud", "Isis Wallet", "My Verizon Mobile", "NFL Mobile", "Setup Wizard", "Slacker", "VZ Protect", "Voice Mail", "VZ Navigator". Don't know if this is the real final version but I'd think it should be close.

The date on the phone was late May in one of the shots. Too bad we can't tell the ram or storage. They got their stupid logo ready though.

Ye that logo is ferocious, completely ruined the minimal style. now I'm wondering if another color will look less ugly.
Look at all of the bloat

Bloat shmoat. If this is a 16gb model, Verizon can choke on the phone and the bloat on it
I remember when my Incredible couldn't hide or uninstall all that bloat (without rooting). I hope they don't yank out the wireless charging like they did with the Note 2... As far as I know, they aren't pushing the droid brand as hard as they were a couple years ago so I have high hopes of an untouched version.

I haven't seen any reliable websites join in and claim this. But even if those rumors are true, switching the back will fix it. With the Verizon Note 2, the only way to get wireless charging was to solder the parts to your phone - not just simply put a tmobile back on it.

I've seen no links to an official announcement, just speculation. Just because US carriers have stopped it in the past doesn't mean they still will. They may decide they'd make more money by having it and selling wireless charging docks/pads.

Show me the official announcement. All articles stating it seem to source the verge who does not state where they got their information. If it's official, I'd be able to trace it back to a direct Verizon or LG source.

Not sure where the article is now. But LG stated that Korea and US varients would not come with Qi charging. Its still built into the phone. Just the korea and US phones will not include the back with charging built in like the international version.
that logo is just so bad, i thought they where finally over throwing logos on the front of the phone.
This is apparently the "lite" version of the G pro 2. The g3 still has the logo offset

I bought my V10 last June and for the first time since my HTC EVO decided that I wouldn't root my phone. I have now come to the conclusion that I need root and after logging in to XDA (after almost a 1 year absence) I see that there's apparently no root for this phone.
Obviously I'm on Verizon - what are my choices for an alternative phone that is in the same class as the V10 but can be rooted? Or is a root solution for the V10 closer at hand?
Albine is almost there. Temporary root has been achieved. It should not be much longer for total root!

Wonder if we could use a similar method. All we really need to do is replace Verizons bootloader with a debug one like that and we'll be golden.

OnePlus 3t
Have you looked at this phone?
I have seen of temp root it works it doesn't work etc...
Partial root only...
Does not survive reboot etc...
But...is it enough root to use debloater to stop ota
Currently debloater does not have proper permissions or something
Does...
Temp root + debloater = no ota
Possibly or no chance
Thanks

Yes if it upgrades to 7.1.1 which they do in the store... Buy it from Google
If I had twrp port it might be easy to root.. Doesn't seem to exist.. I asked for it already on another thread, but no email.. I'm going to reach out to friend on hangouts and see if he feel like making one. He doesn't have this device so I'm not sure if he's interested.. The theory is this simple.. " fastboot boot twrp.img." once booted into twrp, we can flash twrp. Had to do it for my g4 and it works.. Also, I've seen twrp on locked bootloaders so that shouldn't be an issue.. No one's mention anything about that method though..
I think this died. Not complaining but it's been quite a few months since it was announced root was coming.
Good thing I'm rooted on 5.1.1 still. Would love to see root for Marshmallow (or greater) though.
I think Verizon and their hardware vendors should be aware that I will not buy a product or service if I can't have a rooted phone.
Looks like a Google phone next go around, much I don't want to go that route.
Sorry LG; Sorry Samsung. You won't be selling me anything.

I believe the LG V20 is rooted (or at least unlocked)...
Is it possible to root stock nougat that I updated from LG bridge with Magisk13.3? Im just discovering Magisk and obviously I dont want to get ahead of myself but I really need root at the moment. any ideas?
Not yet.

No. Does not appear so.
Only if u were already rooted/unlocked/ with TWRP and flashed the Update.zip stock rom already posted. Then u can flash Magisk and root works fine.
Upgrading via OTA or LG Official restore tool (Bridge) re-locks down everything as its reflashing it to pure stock.
I would assume that current means/exploits have not worked on this new version.
The V10 is largely abandoned...(cause V20 been out a while now and soon to the come the V30.
Far as I can tell, only 1 maybe 2 people working on this phone in their spare time....soo....Don't hold your breath.
If a rooted device is very important to you, other than waiting, one could buy a used V10 (or V20) that hasn't been updated off Swappa for pretty cheap. Or, sometimes folks sell already modded/rooted devices. (thats how i got both my V10's).

I lost my v20 (T-Mobile rooted) about a month ago, so i went ahead and purchased another v20 hoping I could root it again but got the latest firmware which is locked up just like G6. I returned it.
So I'm just curious. What percentage of you guys would buy an unrootable phone and what percentage would not.

I have never cared about root and thus never rooted my phones, so yeah I don't really care if a phone is rootable or not

I don't find root really all that necessary anymore and haven't bothered since I've had the V20. So not worried about it at the moment with the V30.
like a few around here I'm getting the V30 (most likely) for the hardware, and I'll need root for V4A. so yeah, no root, no purchase. period. I'll keep my htc10 or something.
I won't buy a phone I don't own, and that means root. From Day 1.
Root for me is mandatory I have never owned a phone I couldn't root or that had a locked boot-loader.
I want a V30, but nope, gotta wait till the US998 AND a full bootloader unlock is released.
These phones are far too expensive,for me to NOT to have full control.
If I want a locked device, at $800, I'll buy a iPhone 8+ with better software,battery life, processor, ram management etc.
Google and Qualcomm are crazy with this new locked down policy

Why do you (not you specifically but the collective that seems to be here at XDA) all whine about cellphone cameras not turning out photos you like when you should all be rooting your phones and writing new noise reduction and sharpening algorithms instead of complaining about something you all clearly don't understand properly?
I come here to get general information on phones and new program ports. My contribution back is to maybe try to explain what the heck is going on with cellphones' cameras since for a board all high and mighty on getting the most of their phones but don't seem to understand the underpinnings of something they all want to complain about and probably don't have the ability to change if they really wanted to. Yes, I understand rooting, how it's done and why it's done. I've been with Android since the G1 days. At some point though, it has gotten to the point where I don't really see a need for myself to root my device anymore. My V20 worked. My V30 so far seems to work.

Well it's a thread about v30 which I have been following for a while. The question was asked if we care for rooting or not which means he was expecting answers from both sides, and being on xda doesn't require love for rooting. So these are my reasons to be here cheers

Wtf that's messed up
Couldn't care less
Just bought the Verizon V30. My plan is to wait until the unlocked version is released and the developers have a chance to get the bootloader unlocked, create custom ROMS, etc., and then (maybe) sell the V30 and get an unlocked version.
This is my first unrooted phone since my first HTC. The only thing that I really miss is the ability to create nandroid backups. I thought that I would miss the ad blocker more than I do, but since most of my apps are ad free it hasn't been that big of a deal.
I say "maybe" to getting an unlocked phone is that I don't want to give up WiFi calling, and so far having an unrooted phone is nowhere near as frustrating as I thought it would be. I also thought that having a silver phone instead of a black phone would be annoying, but it actually looks great.

Agree 100%, everyone Android I have owned has been rooted, and running a custom ROM. I have had a few iPhone's over the years and they were stock not JB, and it's actually not a bad phone stock, with the Ad Blocking apps, etc... But iOS is too locked down for me.
After using a non-rooted phone for a year, my answer is a strong HELL-NO! I will never own an unrooted phone again. I plan to get a V30, but I will wait until the bootloader is unlocked and I can root it with Magisk. Locked bootloaders are for iOS users.

On a side note my phone got the bootloop of death recently and LG still fixed it for free and listed it as under warranty.

Just checked with Verizon; No update to Nougat for the V10 coming any time soon.
There is not going to be any Nougat update for this phone, it is pretty obvious. Verizon have abandoned all support on it. LG updated it about a year ago, and T-Mobile pushed the update to their phones in March of 2017. I love Android devices, and I own a V10, but face it...if you want a phone with long term support and updates, you have to buy an iPhone.

I've never owned a Apple device of any kind and not going to start.
The only smart phone I've owned that I really, really, liked was the Amazon Fire Phone, which I rooted and ran Cyanogen on. Cyanogen was lightening fast compared to the locked down Fire OS (it wasn't loaded with spyware and other crap). But two things ruined it for me. My wife dropped her Fire Phone and shattered it. We then found it was unrepairable. We were moving and I found there was little support for GSM phones service in the small town we were moving to. Only choice we had; Verizon. And here we are. The V10 was $500 each when we bought them and it was the phone with every feature you would want. Still a nice phone but it is so loaded with Verizon crap ware it is maddening. I long to be free.
Now Cyanogen is gone; out of business. The project has been forked to LineageOS. Since there is no hope to root the V10 and cast off the crapware laden Android; this this phone has been a disappointment.

I do not love or hate Apple devices. I am a light phone user and this year I was just going to buy an iPhone 8 plus or X and have it be the last phone I ever buy. The phone would only really be used for emergencies, texting, and an app or two. I too am tired of the crapware the carriers put on the Android phone. It would not be too bad if you could uninstall it. After all, it is my phone and I should be able to use it as I want. The V10 had everything I wanted in a phone when I bought it. A great screen, removable battery, 64GB storage, micro sd card slot, etc. Now it looks like this V10 will be my last phone as the new ones have been priced way above I think a phone is worth. I am not disappointed in the V10, so I guess it is not all that bad. I am just an electronics addict and I loved upgrading every few years!
