EDIT:
I simply can not get into the bootloader on the H831 lol.
adb / fastboot devices never shows anything. Win 10 64bit. Have installed LG USB drivers. Have enabled usb debug and allow oem unlock.
----------------------------------------------------
I am referring to this link: http://www.androidinfotech.com/2016/06/root-lg-g5-canada-h831-601-marshmallow.html
After a quick google search, this result comes up for rooting the H831. But, I don't see anything about this on xda - my trusted source for all android development. Is it possible that a rooting method for the H831 specifically has been found and xda doesn't know about it ? My current suspicion is about the 'all versions' bootloader unlock.
Let me know what you guys think. I may risk the dangers of attemping to root my Canadian LG G5 (Rogers). But if anyone has any insight to this process if it may be fatal to my phone, speak up or forever hold your peace lol.
:good: :good: :highfive:
currently the model you own can not be rooted unless there will be an exploit developed
but you will need to wait for that
also, please post in proper section
I have the same phone and anxiously await root. I have found if you put it into MIDI mode and enable USB debugging it will respond to ADB commands. However it still will not reboot into the bootloader.
I've noticed though that after sending 'reboot bootloader' command that it briefly shows up as an unidentified device in Windows Device Manager. I hope someone is working on this too!
Yep, waiting as well.
My experience with the G3 was that we got root a little bit after AT&T and then the VZW and Sprint models usually take the longest. Not sure how it's going to be this time around.

Canadian LG G5 H831 Root solution found?
I also just picked up the H831, also on Rogers. Any updates on a working root solution since the last post in July 2016? Thanks!
I am also looking for Rooting my LG G5 H831
Then I'd like to get TWRP Working, and MultiRom app, to Install Plasma Mobile in multiboot
but I am open to suggestions if there is a better way
cheers,
:good:
There is no way

Out of luck for us canadians lg is dead to me now. To bad the g2 g3 were rockin phones.
Hello!
I'm having some troubles to find a way to root this phone since a lot of the post I've found say that it's not possible to root the Oppo A9 CPH1941 due to the locked bootloader, now in the dev settings I have a check for locking or unlocking the bootloader so I guess that shouldn't be a problem for me? So how can I go forward in this? I need the root because I have to access smb from another android device and I've failed, I can access the smb on my ubuntu pc but not the android device.
Can anybody indicate me to a guide please?
I have a windows computer, a ubuntu computer and a fedora laptop if it's needed for the root.
Also is it possible to root the phone without deleting the data in it?
Thanks and sorry for my lack of experience but I don't touch android root and stuff since my Galaxy Next Turbo lol
Me too
I am still waiting for solution unlock bootloader A9 2020 Qualcomm.
Hi folks - after reading through a number of threads on here I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this question now that LG's unlock site is retired:
Is it possible to root and/or install a custom recovery and/or install a custom ROM if you have an LG G5 on a stock ROM right now? I just purchased an unlocked RS988 and would like to do all of the above, but I'm starting to think the scene is dead and/or dying. Can someone confirm / deny the state of modding an LG G5?
I can't even install basic apps like Microsoft Authenticator right now as I'm on RS98810h and my attempts to upgrade by following these instructions ended in an error via LG UP that forced me to use LG Bridge to recover the phone back to a safe condition.
I'd love to mess with it some more but haven't found any current instructions that work. Love this site BTW, I've used it to install custom OSes on many a phone & tablet.
Only H830 can be rooted for any other variants your SOL. It's highly unlikely that root will be achieved for H850 and RS988
Thanks for the info, that's kind of what I concluded from searching around here.
Just wondering, has anyone been able to install Oreo on the RS988 just via normal methods (LG Flash / LG Up)? I know the Verizon version got it (I have one with Oreo) but would love to get it on the RS988 as well. It seems possible, but I just don't have the know-how to cobble together a flashable ROM. I'm sure at this point nobody really cares and has moved on, but if anyone out there knows of a way to do it I'd try anything at this point.
Hi, Its Jan 2023 and I am querying what the chances are of rooting a H850 so I can use it as an appendage to a head unit in an old car with an aux in. I've managed to adb it into bootloader mode and it recognises a the device, but the moment I try 'fastboot oem unlock' I just get 'unknown command' response
My prime need is just to enable auto switch on ( achieved ) and auto switch off when power supply stops. My understanding is that any solution to enable auto shut off requires root..

Actually thats not true. Theres a lot of work going on behind the scenes.
i tried unlocking the bootloader but i ended up reaching a dead end after following multiple articles on some website,
my goal is to install custom OS on the phone so if anyone knows how please tell me in the replies.
thanks
Hello guys, I became the proud owner of the Verizon version of the pixel 6. Actually, since 2013 I have been unlocking phones, and the fact that the pixel is not unlockable scares me.Naturally, I would like to unlock this miracle, but I read that with the latest updates this is impossible. I began to look for answers myself, why this is happening and how to solve this problem. What I found: see screenshots.
Yes, I understand that now it is not possible to freeze this application through adb and, as a result, to enable the item to be unlocked in the developer settings. Because the command pm uninstall isn't working with December update. However, in fact, we need to disable one activity of the simlock and remove the permission to block oem. Tried do it through adb, but unsuccessfully. What else can do this? I tried to find some option through shizuku, but also so far unsuccessfully.
Perhaps there are experts on the forum who can develop my idea, and we can find a solution ...
I’m stuck in same situation. Hope we find some answers
What did you try? Regular adb or did you use shell commands to try and change permissions? Like for example did you do adb shell then try?
