.....but it seems they are soooooo ignorant.arrogant over on the V50 forum.
Weeks ago i posted a simple question asking in the V50 can can be rooted (UK) Hundreds have viewed buy zero answeres.
Seen as thoguh I only recently gave my mother the V30.....can u pretty please let me help me out and any ideas if v60 can be rooted?
thanks
Matt
You may want to be more clear on what you're asking for... you mention 3 phones in your post, so I'm not sure which one you're askign about, really. I assume it's not the V30. That said, the V60 shows very little ROM development, which makes me think it's not rooted. Lack of ROMs generally means there is no root.
The V50 has a few ROMs, so that implies it probably does have root capability...
That said, I realize the principles that people have regarding rooting... I was once in that camp myself. But these days, I find it's hard to get it... and it really may not be necessary. I gave up root on my current S10 for this reason, even though it can be rooted in specific situations. For this reason, I question the real "necessity" of it.
i wan to root my V50 just for the sake os system app remover and titanium backp.
thanks
Matt
As I've learned on my new S10, TiBu hasn't been updated in many years and doesn't quite work as well as it used to either. People have had to find alternative apps to do those tasks. In Samsung-land, Samsung Switch works pretty well for this purpose, and doesn't require root. There are others.
Similarly, you don't need root to remove system apps on the S10 either - you can remove them via ADB these days. I'm guessing you can probably do the same on the V50. However, IMO you don't need to remove system apps as much these days because phones have lots more memory and Android is more efficient in dealing with background apps.
To each their own, but the old ways of doing things may have been superceded... so you may not need root anymore... not that you can get it as easily either.

Re-root with IOROOT after reset (STUMP, IOROOT, BUMP, TRWP)
Not a question, just a thanks.
Rooted with STUMP initially just fine. Then had to factory reset due to a malfunctioning app.
Stump does not (yet) support re-root after reset unless you flash back to stock.
Thanks for all the helpful posts in several threads. I Rooted using IOROOT, using ADB no problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2776198
Now running BUMP TRWP recovery too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...pment/bump-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-verizon-t2900590
BUT, since i'm somewhat of a n00b, i used Flashify from the Google Play store to flash the image. Worked flawlessly. http://www.droidforums.net/threads/...ock-and-install-recovery-on-any-lg-g3.275056/

New to this - hopefully this is the right thread
I am the noobest noob around when it comes to android based phones (hoping to climb the mountain of knowledge to start developing during this winter if I have the time!).
The first thing I want to say is a clear "thank you" to those of you who are sharing knowledge - all searches "root my G3" led here to this site and it appears that there are some very talented people here - I am here to learn, experiment and share... Right now I am very much in the learning mode with regards to these topics.
So...I just got this LG G3 (Verizon)/VS985. I've had it for 3 days and I am really not a fan of all this bloatware they put on it. I just want it off.
Apparently, removing all these Amazon, football, etc. apps can only be done by rooting the phone.
Now here are the questions:
1. There seem to be many ways now (at least 3, maybe 4) to root these phones. Which is the best? Does it matter?
1(a). Someone mentioned that "they" (not sure if its verizon or LG) might discover the "exploit" that (I assumed) was used to root their phones and then change it - would this affect any phones that have been rooted previously or just phones that would be rooted using that specific exploit?
2. Assuming I am able to successfully root this phone, at that time can I remove the apps I do not want on the phone with the current apps or do I need new apps to accomplish this?
3. Will most play store apps work properly on rooted phones?
4. I do not understand nearly any technical jargon with these unit as of yet. I see people are maybe changing the bios (?) of the unit and software of the unit? Is this correct? If so, where does one obtain different bios or software?
5. This may sound petty, but I dislike the circular shape of "folders" when you combine apps together on this phone - and I wondered - is there a way to change this style to a traditional rectangular file folder or make other cosmetic changes to this phone so it is completely customized? For example, what if I want a small element that shows the weather using the national weather service website instead of what was built in? Do I have to figure out how to produce that or are there already such things out there?
6. I continually note the warnings that are stated when websites give links to root phones - are the risks overplayed or are there really some issues with this (other than "voiding the warranty")?
7. Once I root my phone, can I remove the bloatware and then go on using the phone and useful apps essentially as it was previously?
8. This is a bit off topic, but assuming I have some basic computing and electronic skills, is it possible to learn enough about the foundations of how these units work at the code level and produce an "app" that does specific tasks of which current apps do not within a few months perhaps?
8(a). Any recommendations of literature or other learning tools out there to support this quest?
That's it for now - again thanks very much for those who are sharing knowledge and workarounds on this forum!

You're in the same ballpark as me! I just bought my Lg G3 from Verizon yesterday as well, however I'm going to wait a little while to root it. I'm running Nova Launcher and just made all of those apps hidden. But let me answer some of your questions from my past root experience!
1. As for ROMS, I would stick to the Verizon section for now, but that's just me. You can try the other 'variants,' but that's up to you if you want to get your feet wet over there. It won't ruin your phone, just some of the things won't work (probably, I don't know). Looks like Jasmine is your best bet so far, and there's another one MIUI that is pretty popular, but that's your selection as of right now and people seem to be enjoying them the best!
2. Absolutely . If you can't delete them manually, you can download Titanium Backup (what I use) to delete those horrible Verizon apps and Amazon, etc. Now, these will be deleted from your phone for good until you unroot your phone and reflash the official, orginal firmware provided here on xda.
3. All Play Store apps should work. Well...MOST should work. I've been rooting for over 2 years and I've never had an app say, "nope! too bad, so sad." So you should be good Download away.
4. These are new concepts for me too...I would just do some homework. Like every flasher out there would say, "Read read read! Oh. And READ BEFORE ROOTING!"
5. I would assume this is just based on the Launcher that you're using. You can use the stock software which is pretty nice, actually, but I prefer Nova launcher in my personal liking. There's also GEL that is pretty and fluent. In the settings of these apps, you can (usually) change the folder icons.
6. If you have a warrenty, yes, it's "Voided," unless you unroot . Make sure you read up on that, but there is nothing wrong with it. I've had Verizon reps actually tell me that what I did was a good thing, haha. But if you plan on returning the phone, make sure you unroot it and discard of any "suspicions!" Again, just do your reading about root/unroot and you should be solid. :good:
7. Yes.
8. Just read the general LG g3 forums of rooting, unrooting, bumping (this is new), and read what others are saying about the ROM to see what kind of issues there may or may not be with it. And have fun! Also, once you get the hang of rooting, it will be easy as pie. If it's something new, there's a ton of information out there already with our phone where you can fix it! There's a unbrick solution on here, too, just not sure where in the threads.
Side note - If you have any questions or problems, it's just a simple question in the Questions thread and you have a few thousand people here ready to help you! HAPPY FLASHING!

Greetings people here, nice to meet you guys but aside that I could use some assistance. All knowledge/experience I have with rooting have come from here and it has helped me quite a bit in the past with my old phone (Samsung Galaxy Light). Rooting that thing was simple and I have recently made the jump to a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T3) and being the idiot I am I upgraded to the newest version (G900T3UVS1FOL1). I have looked around and around the internet for info on this firmware as well as my model of phone but I have found few pieces of information that include both. Fear has been keeping me from doing too much as this is the most expensive phone I have ever gotten and having very little funds I want to be sure of everything. I understand risks come with rooting and such but covering all the bases can't bee too bad right?
From what I gather there is no way around using Odin to do something that will let me root this thing. While I haven't used the program before I trust there are enough tutorials online involving the program that I can figure my way around that thing. What troubles me is that I see many files/tutorials for different versions (FOG, FOF, FOJ, ect...) not to mention numbers past those things. Also the staggering times I see someone mention SM-g900t and ONLY that one with the occasional person ask if it is similar to sm-g900t3. Long post yeah but I am concerned and as far as I'm aware more info for these kinds of questions leads to faster results and better times for those trying to help.
I would post links to images to show more info but my account is new so...yeah, sorry about that. Aside that thanks for taking the time to read my rather long post and thanks again for all that offer any assistance.

I might suggest you read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../compilation-s5-g900t-stock-firmware-t3042400. Just find the info for your phone. For the most part, using Odin is easy. If you used Heimdall to root your previous phone, you might want to use a different computer because the two programs can conflict with each other.
Let me start off by saying I come from the world of iPhone. Connect phone to computer, click "Jailbreak" button, wait, phone jailbroken. Number of different "types" of jailbreaks, 1.
I have been looking around, and reading quite a bit. I entered the world of Android with a G4, and eventually learned there are many different version of the G4, and I had one that apparently didn't support rooting. So eventually I just gave up on it. I have recently acquired a Nexus 6P, upgraded it to Oreo, and think i am ready to take the root plunge.
So I read a bit. Got very lost. Read a bit more, and got lost again. From my take there are different "kinds" of roots to achieve different goals? Or am I misunderstanding?
So lets start with what I want to do. I want to run some of the more "advanced" apps that require root privileges to do things. I don't know if that is enough information or not, and if its not, just tell me what you need to know, and I will explain it more if I can. Ideally I want a "one click" option. I have tried Kingroot to no avail, and don't even know if a one click option is available for this device on this OS version, but thought I would ask. And the most important think I need to know, is rooting going to delete everything? I spent a lot of time setting up my phone, and don't really (at this point) want to do it again if I can avoid it.
Please again note, I have done a lot of reading, and research before coming here to ask for help. I am just totally lost. I have come from a totally different (iPhone) world where things are obviously quite a bit different, and just want to be sure I have all the information I need before starting this process so I don't brick the phone.
What do you mean with "more advanced apps"? Did you visit the nexus 6p device forum here on xda developers? Did you ask there for specific help to root?

I didn't know there was a specific forum for the Nexus 6P, I have found it now, and will go and ask my question there.
And by more advanced apps, I am talking about apps that require root.
Scratch that, apparently I can't ask for help where I am suppose to ask for help because I require a higher post count. And because honestly I have nothing meaningful to contribute, as I am not familiar enough with android, I can't get my post count up. So I am kinda stuck.

Read the new user guide in my signature.
Preface:
Ive spent about a week of full-time work into my S7 930v. I FINALLY rooted the damn thing and I FINALLY, after reading tons of tutorials, read on one of them (right here, in fact) the Doomed Verizon Locking Problem.
Ok, so Im not going to be able to install any android ROMs. I followed the tutorials and I have removed/froze bloatware and installed cleanup apps as per the tutorials (Greenify, Amplify, Titanium Backup, etc.)
I froze damn near everything and my phone still works, so good so far. But it still runs slower and from a security standpoint, I still dont really trust it.
Sorry, I know Im beating a dead horse here.
Down to Business:
I gave up trying to face the impossible. But today, with renewed vigor, I have questions. In an effort not to waste my time, I thought that one of you has probably already tried my next steps or heard of someone who has.
1. Is it also not possible to install linux (Ubuntu?) on my 930v?
2. I heard somewhere that you can call Verizon and have them unlock your phone. I have done so. They gave me the run-around. Switched me to Samsung who told me to call Verizon. Now Im not new to this. Im angry and Ive got too much time on my hands. Im not afraid to call over and over until I get answers. But I thought I would ask you all first.
There seems to be two different versions of what they understand as "unlocked". There is provider unlocked and there is OS/ROM unlocked. So, if I keep harassing them, are they going to ROM unlock my phone? I found this on their website:
verizon..../about/consumer-safety/device-unlocking-policy/
Is my phone really a piece of trash now?? Say it aint so!
[EDIT] I just called Verizon again and explained very thoroughly, that Verizon locks software with a private key and that I wish to reinstall Android as a base without their software.
Tech support tells me that they are not given that information from Corporate.
This phone is fairly new, i want to root it but i dont know any method that work yet. Is there any developers willing to make a custom recovery for this? Like twrp?

Technically, this is the web?.
I don't understand why some people seem to get upset when others make topics asking questions. It's not usually general knowledge for most people.
I can't tell you what a bootloader is but I sure as hell can spend all day complaining about them, lol. Literally everyone I know personally has never heard the term.
I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but what's wrong with people making topics before exhausting every other possibility to find the answer. Nothing wrong with conversation and who knows what random and unexpected things you could learn.
Hey, sorry I'm getting the breaks done on my car at the moment. I'm writing this instead of reading old magazines, lol
Chances are, we won't see this phone rooted anytime soon. especially now that the Stylo 6 has arrived. Locked Bootloaders are not your friend if you root phones. Mostly DEVs now only concentrate on the Flagship phones...

I never was upset.
My POV:
It's neither the task of anyone here to re-publish (excerpts of ) articles simply created by "copy & paste", nor to do a related Google search and then list the links found, nor to tell the questioner that he/she is completely wrong that he/she is totally confusing things - the latter may be considered as being rude.

Posting "Garbage" ? Nah....that's good stuff right there. As for helping OP, your right. I was off topic, but really it's no big deal. Xda is not flooded with pointless threads. I know they prevent pointless posts and topics.....but a few never hurt as long as it's Android related.
OP, it's a shame but don't get your hopes up for ever rooting the Stylo 5 (Damn Bootloaders!). There is still adb though. I bet it's not long before that is gone to. You can get rid of bloatware and do some other cool stuff with it. If you need help with getting it running on a PC you can simply search it on Xda, or even pm me.
But for the love of God and all that is Holy!.......Do not make a thread asking about it!?.
I don't even bother using Google when it comes to Android. The good people on Xda are the only ones I know will be helpful and honest.....That and most likely Google would just get me here anyways, lol.
Again, sorry. I don't mean to be a jerk if I sounded like one at anytime in this novel. I didn't intend to write so much when I started, lol it seems to happen a lot though. There ya go some more good stuff.

Hi,
Sadly after several hours' search, GInMF. Yes, I found several "Root your LG Stylo 5" with 25 different methods posts, NONE of which seem to work. I think most of them are thinly disguised ways to get gullible people to part with their money. The problem that I mostly encountered is, somewhere along the line, they just say "install TWRP recovery"...ignoring the fact that this phone model DOES NOT have one on the TWRP device page. So, the specific question, again, becomes: is there any way to root this phone, even if I'm happy with the stock image?. If any of the XDA experts on this thread know of one, PLEASE point me to it. If there isn't one, pls state that so I can put this effort to rest, either way. Thank you!

Technically there is a TWRP image for LG Stylo 5, however it should be noted that it is an unofficial TWRP image and should be done with the utmost delicacy. As to the whole rooting your phone thing, of course you can. Let me be a little more specific on that though. You cannot root an android if it's newer than 6 months (sadly for all you "tech nerds/junkies" you are all wrong when it comes to whether or not you can root certain phones). I know this for a fact. However I can tell you one thing for absolute sureness. I wouldn't waste the time or money trying to root an LG Stylo 5 when you can get cheaper phones (that run Android 11 and higher) at Walmart. And just so everyone knows, there's no need to root a phone with Android 11 and higher because of the fact that you can use LADB to uninstall system applications and bloat ware. But let me warn you as I've come across this myself and done it as well, but there are certain brands like Alcatel that won't allow you to uninstall the bloat ware, but you can still disable it using ADB commands. Lastly, if you get a phone with Android 11 and higher, DO NOT UNINSTALL anything with com.android, com.sec.android, or anything along those lines because it WILL cause the phone to go into a permanent boot loop at which you'll have to factory reset the phone using the recovery mode.
