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.

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...

any update on this?
Lg h960yk
So did anyone found a method to root the h960yk or should i sell my phone ?
Ok so if you want to root the LG G3 running 5.1.1 here's how.
Note: I am not responsible for what might happen to your phone by following this guide.
Also i don't know about carriers other than Verizon since i have a Verizon g3.
so if someone could confirm if this works on the others i will update this post to confirm.

KingRoot will root almost Any Android device with One Click! Do this at your own risk. This is a proprietary Chinese app with no source code released. Check app permissions before installing. If you aren't comfortable you can wait on a different root method for your exact device. This does not appear to be malicious.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOW TO THE GUIDE...
1. Go to google on your mobile and search king root and click on the kingroot website. ( NOTE: i can't post links outside of xda until I reach 10 posts.) I will update this with a link soon.
2. Download and install the kingroot app file. NOTE: Check allow apps from unkown sources in settings.
3. Once you have installed it, open the app and click root. NOTE: Click root anyway if you see it.
4. Now after that go to the play store and download root checker by jrummy.
5. After that just open the app and click verify root. You should be greeted with a root request screen. Just click yes and you're done!
Will this work for Verizon LG G3 running same software version?

Hi there!, is there a way to unroot after I have performed this steps? This is in case Android 6.0 gets released to the Verizon LG G3 so I can then update it without any problmes.

Because it modifies the system partition files, the only way to return to stock so that it doesn't say "modified" is to reimage using the KDZ or TOT method.
This is not the instructions, now brush version number of 35b the kdz after you can direct access to root privileges? If so, it too good! Thank!!!

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?

I have the unlocked version of this phone. I don't see anything about root or unlocking the bootloader? Really all I want is root so I can run Network Signal Guru...
Good morning,
unfortunatly I checked yesterday and wrote also to the dev... it is still not available from Official LG Web site.

Unlocked versions is about the carrier is unlocked meaning it doesn't have a carrier/plan locked with it. It doesn't mean it have an unlocked bootloader. If you really want a unlocked bootloader phone in 2020, get OnePlus or Xiaomi, they are more dev friendly.
Also, with LG's history of supporting developers, this will not likely to get unlocked bootloaders later.

I think Motorola is dev friendly too. My friend say they give everything to root her phones. ??
I don't think someone will find a way to root the LG phones after the V30 model. My old phone before my new G8x was the V30 and it was complex to root, so I don't know for the most recent models ??*
I downloaded Treble info from play store and this is what I get;

This doesn't mean it is rooted. It is probably used for LG to do Treble thing.

I know but it shows that systemless root could be used and GSI roms could be used if twrp and root can be achieved.

Yea, you are right. But you guys won't get unlcoks and root anyway because you know LG's history. But it is a possibility that LG might allow that 1-2 years later.
Can we unlock the bootloader on the G8x with this method?
https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
It seem that this tutorial from LG work with the LG G7. But, I wonder if it work on the most recent model.

You don't need network signal guru. There's some secret code that you can get from a simple google search to get into the secret field test menu. It gives all the network related info and let's you lock on to specific 4g bands as well.
LG supports G850EMW for G8X as well as V50s. I already received unlock.bin.
A bigger problem is extracting boot.img from the stock ROM. The latest LG KDZ Extract tool is from 2014 and doesn't handle the new DZ format.
Using the 'KSZ extractor for new format KDZs' by runningnak3d I could extract boot.img from a G850EMW20a ROM (Android 10). This will allow systemless root with Magisk.
Dec 15: rooted.
