So this is my first LG phone, my last phone was the nexus 6 (RIP :crying So this whole root process for the LG G5 seems a little confusing to me. There's just so many different versions, do's, and don't do's. I was wondering if anyone could point me towards the correct guide, and method.
I've attached a screenshot of my software info screen.
This is how I rooted my phone when I was in version 10j

Hey if you haven't figured it out yet, pm me and I can help you.
Thanks guys, I went away for vacation and forgot to check back. Needless to say, while I was away one of the kiddos dropped the phone and cracked it. Sadly, my replacement came with H83020c installed. I haven't checked any of the forums yet, but I'm out to see if we got a root for it yet

yeah, there is a sticky thread over on the development side that tells you how.
Running a HTC M8 on 5.0.1 and I have searched but have been out of the rooting business since my S3. Can it be done? If so, can someone please direct me to the appropriate links? I started to follow the sticky and got to Sunshine and it said no-go. Would love a stock GPE Rom installed on my phone. Any help would be appreciated!

Unfortunately, the sunshine app is your best bet but you (and I) need to wait for it to be updated. There is another method, but it would require you to find someone with a java card. You can find more info about the java method in the forums. I thought about it, but i'm going to try and hold out for an updated sunshine app, hopefully it comes out before our next Verizon update so that any possible exploit is not blocked by verizon..
But until we get root, there are a few things you can do. There is the Google launcher or the Nova launcher, Adblockplus works on WiFi and there is also the Adblockplus browser for when you are not on WiFi, and the greenify app does have some limited functionality without root access.
If any of you guys are near PA I have a Java card and can do s-off

I drove seven hours (round trip) to get it done and it was well worth it. I would FedEx it to dottat in a heartbeat and just use a backup phone in the meantime. Who knows when sunshine will be updated.
Well, We are just waiting for them to get sunshine stable with our phones. Until then, Java card is the only way for those on lollipop

I don't want to miss represent sunshine. I'm referring g to the root exploit
In the exact same boat as the original poster...
The last phone I rooted & installed Cyanogenmod on was an S3 & I loved it. The battery became an issue & I moved on to the HCT One M8 from Verizon. I typically wait until the first year of warranty is up before rooting. Well, never again will I wait as all the exploits are patched & Im stuck w/ the stock ROM & I am really missing Cyanogenmod. I live in the Greensburg area of PA, but not sure about driving to York PA for the Java card, though that is extremely nice of the person who offered. I am subscribing to this thread; as I cant find any root methods & look at least several times a week.

I typically wait until I've had the phone 30-40 minutes before rooting and installing TWRP and a custom rom.
Personally, I'd drive to York if I lived where you do. Since I'm 2,250 miles away I'd send the phone. As always, YMMV.
@dottat, I'm in the Finger Lakes area in NY. Where in PA are you? I may have to come and see you!!
Edit: Any chance you have a card for the M9 too?
The card will work for all. Just give him a pm
Hi, I recently damaged my S4 and decided to upgrade to the S6, so far I love the phone, got it new for $250
However since it's with straight talk in not one of the more common models and I can't really seem to find any information on it, I'm mostly hoping to find a way to root it, a custom recovery would be nice but I certainly don't need it
Has anyone had any experience with this device?
Or could someone maybe point me in the right direction?
Device: Galaxy S6 (Straight Talk)
Model: SM-S907VL
Baseband: S907VLUDU1APG8 (idk if that's important lol)
Android: 6.0.1
I appreciate any help that you guys might be able to give
I am looking for the same!
Would like to root and install CM.
Samsung S6 SM-907VL
I too got the "Black Friday" deal with this phone. It is Straight Talk and is a nice phone. I emailed a popular rooting developer and they have a list a mile long with phones their app will root. But it will not root this model. If someone finds an app that will root, please post.
Looking to root this model too. Could you flash a rom from one that uses the same board and chip set? Essentially turning it from a straight talk phone to Verizon , sprint, or at&t then proceed to root from there? Might be a noob question but I been wondering if it would work

You can not do that. Unless you want to brick your phone. I am searching now, will let you know if I come up with anything!

Well hopefully we can hear back soon, I've still had pretty much no luck with this model, seems it's too little know for anything custom yet
Has anyone tried KingRoot?
I've tried Kingroot a few times now, the device is not supported unfortunately
Need root and 7.0 rom!
Seriously been looking for root since I got this phone. Is anyone even working on a root for it? Would the root for sm-s903vl work for the sm-s907vl or would it brick it? At this point I don't even care if I trip Knox. I just want ROOT!!
Fruitless searching for method to root sm-s907VL S6
Has anyone found anywhere that has information about rooting this model or atleast maybe the news that someone is working on it?! I have searched and searched and tried several different methods but nothing has worked yet. I really like this phone so far but I really gotta have my customization fix for it. Thank you to anyone who can give me some hope and of course if I find anything I'll post it here.
Thanks
I don't suppose anyone has had any luck with this device?
I'm having trouble finding stock firmware as well, I was thinking I might try a couple methods for different models but that's a little foolish without a way back to stock...
As a side note, don't buy straight talk phones, nothing seems to exist for them xD
You can get the stock software at www.firmware.gem-flash.com... I've used their copy personally and had no problems..
Device: Galaxy S6 (Straight Talk)
Model: SM-S907VL
I have the same issue and have tried several root tools and none have worked yet. Maybe some devs will get it working for one of them soon.
I have tried everything. If there is somebody smart enough to root the galaxy s6 s907vludu through straightalk please let me know. I have been searching for months. If anybody can find something for this unrootable phone please let me know.
I have model s906l it's an early sts6 and Im currently running s907vl firmware. I think the s906l can be rooted but it's running Android 5.02. My point being if you really want root maybe you can flash the s906l firmware using oden. Update nope I was able to flash up but cant flash back down. Stuck on mm without root for now.

I don't think you can downgrade an OS. Bootloaders would normally not allow it.
I tried flashing the 5.0.2 SM-S906L rom on the SM-S907VL through Odin and it gives a secure boot check fail.

I am having the same issue, I have the S6 SM-S907VL as well, I am very pleased with the phone itself as well as the cell carriers service but not having any developers hacks & mods or stock firmware or rooting methods for it is really frustrating

I have the same model also I wish now that never seen it. I've had an LG Stylo 3, and Motorola phone all of which I could easily download a ROM from here and easily customize the phone. This phone has proven impossible.

Any new updates on a possible root and custom rom for the SM-S907VL? Starting to look like we're out of luck :/
This is more just a general question of your opinion. I can't believe it's been almost a year and no bootloader unlock. I would have loved to see CM running on this device. It almost makes me want to go back to HTC because they openly allow the bootloader to be unlocked. IMO I think we have reached as best as we can with the echo ROM. I uninstalled it due to it not having much benefits. What are your thoughts on this device? Do you think we will ever see a bootloader unlock or is devolopment dead on this device?
I believe that development might pick up again with nougat's official January (i believe) release because it offers much more than Marshmallow. Maybe we'll get an official bootloader unlock or some dev on his spare time finds a way to do it. CM either way is only being made personally through devs now (closed its doors yesterday) but there will be a forthcoming with LineageOS from the same team.
Yeah I read about cm and lineage. So if I'm understanding. An OS update could provide a new vulnerability and allow an unlocked bootloader?
Keyword there is could. Hopefully some progress down the line would be nice and if we got to start a prize pot for it, I wouldn't mind.
I would definitely kick in some money to a bootloader unlock bounty. Right now my only 2 complaints with the s7 are lack of custom roms and not being able to find a good full coverage glass screen protector. If I can help one of those I will. I am half tempted to sell my tmo s7 and buy an exynos s7 because there seems to be more development there. But I'll wait for nougat.
jah feel
I feel your pain. When I first planned on getting the S7, I was excited about getting a sexy-design phone with better specs and putting all my music on the phone via a 128GB SD card and chilling out with ViPER4Android... but that was all a dream. I've been very hesitant to go through with the current root method because from what I've read, there are tons of bugs to deal with and tons of tweaks to do to not get very far in the end. I'm honestly very sad about this purchase. If I had more time to research the locked bootloader issue, I would have gone with a different phone. But my S5 finally gave up and I had to get a new phone ASAP. I would also pitch in for a bootloader unlock or something. I mainly want a stable phone with ViPER4Android. Can't live without it... it's been hell. Halp pl0x.
I would definetely pay for an unlocked bootloader also. The exynos definitely seems to have more devolpment than the u.s. But I'm rooted and after flashing a fix+debloat and installing Xposed everything is running smooth. It would be awesome to see more devolepment though.

It's under recommended next steps for the flash fix
Could someone help me root and add a stable custom ROM to my TMO GS7 (G930T)? I'm tired of all the extra crap. I can't afford to brick this phone. I have some root experience, but I'm by no means a pro. I have all the latest updates from TMO. Unfortunately, I couldn't stop them in time. I don't have anything in trade, but might be able to help out somehow. Last phone I rooted was a TMO GS4 with the help of a moderator friend. He helped me tremendously with root, Ron, and a few extras like sdmaid, simfix, etc. I can do via chat, IM, etc. There are a lot of posts and it's hard to figure out which one is legit for my device. Thanks!
Anyone willing to help?
package disabler on app store, or flash u-firm
A lot of it seems to evolve around using Odin to flash the phone with the right firmware. It's not clear but there does definately seem to be an issue with SM-G930T Model. Just bricked and then unbricked my phone last night. WHITE KNUCKLE RIDE BY THE WAY!
I haven't found a solution yet but if I will I'll link you in!
