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.

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..

It's been long time since some of the senior developers been working on root method for G5 other variants aside from H830 and H850EU. And then some guys pissed of the devs, apperently the development died with that. I got H850 South African, so far no luck of root. I believe there are lot of members like me waiting for root for their other variants. I am not a developer, but I wish I had that kind of background I just wanna know if there is any reputed developer still working on it. Kinda trying to decide if I should get rid of my G5.
Thanks in advance!

I dont think anyone is working also I dont belive we will have a way to unlock bootloader too. People use EU G5, so no problem for them. Look at Rom thread, there are many custom roms for these phones.

Its too disappointing. I guess this flagship got less attention from devs (aside from the unlocked bootloader ones).
Thanks for the feedback!
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.
so no more people will be getting the unlock script. we are officially **** out of luck until someone figures it out themselves.

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?

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:

I hope but it hadn't said that to me before and that's what it started saying this month.
This is probably the most desperate post i've made on XDA. I'm not entirely sure if I'm following the forum rules, so I'm sorry if this violates any.
I've got an Optimus L9, model P769BKGO, manufactured March 22nd, 2013. My current understanding is if I have an L9 that was manufactured after June of the same year, the bootloader is encrypted, preventing me from unlocking it. I did work on the phone a while back, and found that it's running the P760's V10b Europe firmware. The bootloader appears to be set up properly, the screen is inverted and "flipped" horizontally as it's supposed to be according to all the tutorials i could find. There's only one problem I'm coming across.
The next step I can find is to flash the radio and connect to mobile data, leaving it connected for 30 minutes or more. I've tried to flash the radio, and it hasn't fixed the modem issues that comes with flashing the firmware to V10b EO. I have an active SIM in it as i'm supposed to, but I can't flash it to another firmware to restart the process because if I do, I have no working links for any of the tools/firmwares I need. They all either pull up a 404 or just don't exist, for example the "All in One" MEGA links in the more popular bootloader unlocking threads.
The Optimus L9 forum has been noticably dead for a while now, but i don't see any better place to seek help. Hopefully someone here can lend me a hand in finding the firmware versions I need to get this done.
If I have learned anything from xda-developers since 2004 when I got my first Windows Mobile smartphone: yes. it IS possible. And MORESO., where there is a will, there is a way.
That said, I've got a couple LG-P769's I'd like to root, so if I dig anything up that works, I'll let you know. Otherwise, my skills as a developer do not extend to reverse engineering (especially encrypted(!)) bootloaders. Creating a custom ROM is more up my alley, and something I may do if we find it is necessary

I wish I saw this sooner, but I think I can help you out with rooting them. There's something called LGPwn that you might find useful. If it works for you, it'll work well. There's also this one recovery installer that I use, although it's not very up to date... nonetheless, it works too. If I have any custom roms laying around that have dead links, I'll do my best to supply them just in case (since devhost isn't a thing anymore, almost all links here are dead).
Best of luck

While I don't want to jack this thread, I wanted to comment that LGPwn worked well for me and thanks for the links. I am a bit new to all of this, and I couldn't seem to find any ROMS that would work with the old phone newer than andriod 5.1 - thus also taking the chance here to ask given your already very neat help, if, unlike what I believe - I can use ROMS not made for the phone?

I'm suuuuper late on replying to this (I don't mind the bump though), you can use ROMs developed for the p760 as well, although I can't say I'm on familiar territory anymore. My L9 is in the drawer now, since I can't find a way to properly unlock the bootloader. They say there's supposed to be special software available, but that software has since been wiped off the net.
Regardless, I hope that helps.

Not sure yet, I've been stuck on a phone that I'm trying to get out of the way, although I've been considering just moving on to the V60 as I feel I may be heading toward a dead end on the other phone.
News to come, though.
Any updates @haise.zero ? Bought this beauty for myself but im missing out on the EU Firmware :/
Shizuku and an activity launcher that leverages shizuku to perform privileged launches can launch a hidden menu activity that allows you to change the model number.
You might be able to flash to something else with the same OPID that way.
Edit: more information later when I'm on my computer and can provide actual details.

So would that be something like the WTF! method to change the model for the v30? My V30 was a sprint but I was able to change it to the US998 model with that method, thus allowing me to use the custom ROMS for that model. Could something like that be possible for this phone?

I'm not familiar with the V30 or its process, but the process I mentioned would be the way to change models and crossflash over to a less restricted model version to allow easier downgrades and modifications, yeah. It'd (probably) let you work with it through LGUP after a model name change and an OP partition swap

I haven't done much of anything lately. Life has been taking up all of my time.
I ordered new computer parts so that I can finally upgrade to a Ryzen build (been running an FX processor for forever now) and get some real development done. Also hoping for some more spare time soon.
I'll be working on a ROM coupled with a custom recovery primarily but I do understand the importance of needing more people to unlock their devices. This is also something I'm still working on.
My previous partner Codeon doesn't have a V60 nor the time to work on it if he did have one anyways so it's mostly just been me lately and even I haven't done much for a while now.
Hoping I can change that. I'm trying to dedicate my time today to this phone, but as far as getting EDL to work with us without that god damn proprietary GSM box crap, it's just out of my league and I don't understand it. I do know of someone who may be able to help with that and I'll be reaching out to see if they can lend a hand or not.
Sorry for things going so slowly. Thank you for your patience, guys, especially because I know it's running thin right now.
