Anyone have an idea if this phone can be rooted?

I'm also interested in this. It is a Android One phone but this does not seem to imply being unlockable?
I've contact Nokia support a few days ago to ask if the official bootloader unlock will also be available for the 7.1. They replied (quite quickly) that they could not confirm an unlock will be available, only for 8 now, but that news about this would be coming soon.

I hope it is seeing how I'm planning on picking 2 of these up. I could see them not allowing it officially since the 8 is their flagship phone. I know HTC used to allow almost all of their phones to be unlocked. LG only allows their flagship devices to be unlocked, the V and G series. I so hope this isn't the case with Nokia.
EDIT: Spelling, sorry
This seems to suggest Kingroot works; can anyone confirm?

Looks like a generic guide, highly unlikely that it will work. The other method listed there needs an unlocked bootloader which isn't officially possible (yet?) and twrp.

I came across this link for how to root the Verizon LG G5 (VS987).
I don't think it's legit though because it references this link for unlocking the bootloader. It claims the unlock method is for "all variants," however I believe it only works for the T-Mobile LG G5 (H830).
I'm just wondering if anyone has tried this or knows anything about it.
This would definitely not work. If you follow the links, the steps require you use fastboot, which is not enabled on the G5. Sites like this are just trying to be the first result on a Google search for "[model#] root." Sickening.
Yeah, definitely frustrating! I want to get a G5, but having an un-rootable phone is not an option for me. I don't want to switch to T-Mobile to get one but Verizon's draconian style is pushing me away.
A root / bootloader unlock method is in the works right now... no word yet in terms of a timeframe, but some users here are definitely working on unraveling the device's security and encryption.

okay this I am waiting with bated breath for because I am hoping to make my phone much more efficient once this hits.
Hi i hope hope someone can clear a few things up for me i am a bit confused is this the correct forum for mate 10 pro as well as normal mate 10. I have recently purchased mate 10 pro and could not find mate 10 pro in devices i only found this forum. Also in the development section there are not many roms which i find a bit strange because the phone is not very new. Hope someone can help.

I believe that you are new here and don't know that the huawei phones would not enable us to install stock roms and we are not able now to unlock the bootloader anymore for free lol.
So there is no custom roms dear
Wtf how am I supposed to unlock the bootloader then I need more information quickly so I can cancel my purchase. Is it impossible to unlock bootloader now

Depends on your firmware. If Security Patch is June or later you won't be able to, at least not if you're on C432.
If you are on security patch may or earlier you will be able to use HCU client to get unlock code, but it's paid.
I can only confirm that it's not possible to get unlock code on C432B145+, I can't confirm for other cust but it will most likely be the same.
Edit: if it's a brand new phone it will likely come with factory firmware, unless the shop you bought it from updated it.
Even if I was able to unlock think it's likely that development will be very limited would I be right in thinking this.

I wouldn't say "limited" it depends what your looking for, obviously the best device development is for OnePlus and Pixels imo, but we still have RessurectionRemix, LineageOS, CarbonROM & OmniROM, that's 4 pretty recognisable ROM's :good:
Link to ROM's : https://openkirin.net/download/
To be honest, I had my first Mate 10 Pro rooted, and apart from an Ad blocker and YouTube Vanced there wasn't much I felt any need to install. Now Vanced can be installed without root, and Ad Blocker can run on various browsers, I don't see much point.
The Mate 10 Pro is a brilliant phone, I'm seriously considering selling my S9+ and going back to the 10 Pro - the battery life was far better, and I think the camera was better. I also hate the bent sides on the screen on the Samsung. Only thing I might missis Samsung Pay, but I'll just go back to contactless card.
Thanks to you guys and some further reasearch i was able to reach out to the person on ebay i had bought the phone from and cancel the purchase after explaining the situation with bootloader. I am still reeling from Huwaweis decision to stop bootloader unlocking and hope they one day reverse this decision. I really had my heart set on the mate 10 for obvious reasons but possible lack of bootloader unlock is just a no no for me on my current phone a xiaomi mi6 i regularly change roms and kernels sometimes twice a week so i certainly could not live with being stuck on Mui with no possibility of modifications xposed etc. And i did not want to take the risk of buying to only find out that the bootloder had been patched or something and id be stuck.
So now i have turned my attention to either the oneplus 5 or perhaps galaxy s8plus. Again thanks for your help guys.
I never got round to rooting my Mate 10 Pro earlier in the year. I recently got into the idea of it and was searching for hours to try and find out how to unlock my bootloader, like i did with my honor 7 and honor 9, but I could not find the page. Looking further into it I found that Huawei had removed the ability to do this. I emailed their support and they told me it cannot be done anymore, even by them. I then looked into DC unlocker and emailed the Devs of that but was informed it would not work while I am on Oreo. Does anyone here know how I can root my phone?
If you didn't get an unlock code you are currently out of luck, I hate to say this but you could look at funkyhuawei if you are before the june security patch.
As of yet I do not believe there is a way to unlock without an official code, maybe in the future

I had looked into funkyhuawei but they were a bit pricey. Thank you for your help anyway, I'm quite disappointed in Huawei's decision to remove it.
so no more people will be getting the unlock script. we are officially **** out of luck until someone figures it out themselves.

OPPO is really crazy ....
Never saw a shìt like this thing.
Their SW Development Team is completely without any Skill.
European and Global variants of Find X that should be the most FREEDOM variants are completely abandoned instead.

Yeah they should have the same set up as OnePlus with OxygenOS, with the ease of unlocking the bootloader. ColorOS is a shambles and other than the software the find X is an amazing device.

Where did you read that from?
I can't believe that no one has searched for the file before unlocking.
But there again, we can;t get hold on the euro rom.
But it looks like selling it soon. Never again oppo
I'm not 2 sure but i think 1500 limit is for the 15 of every month that's all they unlocking at a time
It's ridiculous though especially when OnePlus it is very easy to unlock and flash. Also ColorOS well I will refrain from profanity.
Oppo are part of the same and it would be much better if they used a stock like OS much like OxygenOS.
This would make the Find X for me just sublime, but as it stands with ColorOS, the device is a looker but damn is it beeeep in the user experience.
And it looks like wuxianlin won't be posting the file\script that we need on his site.
Does anyone know of a way to mass tweet?
It's for education purposes

Why don't you create a petition about unlimited bootloader unlock for find x?

Oppo won't reply from Twitter\Facebook ect
So I doubt oppo gives a **** about us oppo find X owners.
It's crazy Oppo released one of the best designed phones of 2018. Software is it's only let down, I mean I'm still on the October security patch.
Such a great device but even Oppo just after months have forgotten about it, or so it seems.
hi, nobody succed to root find x ?? really ? nobody ? why oppo don't want ?? before having the find x, i had the R7s and there was an apk, oppotools ,to root it !!!! why oppo want we root R7s and other but not the X ????? i don't understand what oppo do this !!!!!:confus::confus::confus:
Oppo
It's incredible vibe I do not understand, I can not sell it anymore.

I hope but it hadn't said that to me before and that's what it started saying this month.
I currently own the US model of this device. I've done some digging in the forums but I never really come up with very much. If anyone could help I'd be willing to try just about anything to get this phone rooted as long as there's a recovery option. I've read in other threads that the European model can be rooted but the US version has no such luck. If anyone has anymore information please post a reply I would love to get a discussion started. Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, yes your appear to be right. I haven't been able to find anything on this device as far as the U.S. version goes anyway. Apparently, the European version has already been rooted with Magisk and an unlocked bootloader. Although no one has said much of anything about this one. I hope there some development soon!!
A shame these dont yet have bootloader unlock etc.. Its a great phone with Awesome specs on it.
I picked up a Like NEw one for 200.00 (u.s. sprint) version. I use it on t-mobile.

Well it has according to the LG website. Didn't try it out yet.
https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0703
• LG V50S: LMG850EMW/LMG850EMWX for the European market
This is the LG G8X (check your device info).
We'll probably have to wait for Firehose to be released for LG Snapdragon 855 to have any hopes for unlocking on Non EU variants
No bootloader unlock available? Was checking developer settings and was able to turn on OEM unlock. Would really like to see some AOSP ROMs available for this phone.
I am very glad to be getting replies here. However, US models are still unrootable as far as I can tell its not listed for the US region but is listed for EU. So far no new updates. Please keep the conversation alive though!! Need a developer to start cracking down on this device please!
If anyone knows any developer's willing to work on this device I will quite literally give them payment to develop a working root method for this device. No joke. I'm not very sure how much power developers have over this device. But I would really love to find out.

You could probably start a Bounty thread like they did with the V50 and G8.

How would I go about doing this? Not all that familiar with Xda honestly. I rooted my old phone thanks to this site but I wouldn't know how to contact any developers on this subject.
A shame that this high end phone does not yet have root/rom. (in u.s.) You can pick these up fairly inexpensively (on ebay..as I did)
Hope LG is able to get bootloader unlocked one day or I may have to go back to Xiaomi / Oneplus
I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Well considering this same device is rooted it would likely mean that eventually we will have something. It might take awhile however. The EU version is definitely rooted and even compatible with Magisk having an unlocked bootloader is fantastic. Especially in this time. However since our country is a bit more controlling when it comes to phone data we may not see one until this device is obsolete. Meaning that LG will have made their money on it and therefore feel safe releasing a bootloader unlock officially..
