Rooting LG G5 on Android 7.0 - T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers

Hello XDA Developers,
I've recently got an LG G5. I used to have the LG G2. Having said that, I dropped my G2 and the screen was damaged. T Mobile sent the LG G5 as a replacement.
I would like to root my LG G5. I just lack the know how on how to do it with Android Nougat 7.0
I'll be glad to hear from any of you.
Wish you well,
Paul

Would love root option for 7.0 since I need to get Titanium backup on it to recover some data. It seems it's not so easy to root G5 in general, all versions. G4 and below were so easy.

Use the following method to root on Android 7 with T-MOBILE:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/how-to/guide-root-twrp-lg-g5-using-t3580264
Or use this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/root-h830-running-30a-nougat-t3524322
Make sure you read the threads to downgrade to 20A first if you're on anything later than that before you can actually follow those guides to root and get TWRP.

How do you know if you have 20A or 20C? I appreciate the links to help root my g5. I've attached my About phone info if that would help.

You're on 20f. It's the last three characters of the software version.

SuperNu,
Thank you for your help in determining which software I have. Why did LG make it so challenging to root this phone?

If it says invalid kdz file check that md5 of downloaded kdz is same as what is posted on the thread with the kdz, if not re-download it. Otherwise try using uppercut to flash it (search main g5 XDA fourm for uppercut thread).

[Q] Kdz or Tot Lollipop Firmware for D850 ?

I'm trying to find the stock firmware LGD850AT-00-V10f-310-410-OCT-15-2014. I followed your guide this evening, and I am getting the endless boots, even though I performed the factory reset. Looking at the logs, the Flash tool stated I has the above, and I flashed with LGD850AT-01-V10d-310-410-JUN-19-2014. Is there anyway to get the V10f version? Or is there anyway to move forward to a higher stock version?

Did you use LGUP instead of "LG flash tools"? That's what I had to do because I was on Marshmallow.

The AT&T D850 is TOT method only that's why there's no kdz at all. Only official lollipop you can get is to insert an AT&T sim.

You cannot update it with a tot file. As there's only KitKat. Your only way is to have an AT&T sim or root / custom rom. Or it might be possible to root and load the update file. Never done the img update file before but if it can be done it would be in the general section.

So is it possible to flash/ install a stock rom after rooting my device?
If yes, can you provide me with the link and some steps to follow.

Thanku.
But is this a custom rom or stock rom?
How to install twrp recovery?
Even in future if any updates were released then i need to install either with sim card or flashing custom roms for my at&t model?
if you're going to go through the effort of rooting your phone you might as well install twrp which instructions you can find on these forums or even on twrp website I believe. the link clearly states that it is a stock rom. furthermore the guy was even nice enough to include his own instructions! what more could you ask for.
a little reading goes a long way. personally, I would vote to stick with a stock rom like the one linked above as it will be most stable and support all the features of the phone out of the box.
once a 6.0 rom is released for the d850 it will be real easy for you to wipe and flash that to upgrade again.

NO! This is for Korean models only, if you install this you will lose network conectivity and other features...so, is better to wait a week to have the right one to your model...in my case is the H960A too.

LOL! you are gettin' the same reaction as me, no big deal update, some "little" changes but nothing really new...
The better thing we get is the UX and fresh design apps.
But maybe better performance and better battery management.
Second screen should see some improvements but again nothing new, maybe we get the same treatment as V20 have in this aspect. DPI change in the second screen to put more words are welcome...
Lets wait and see if some of our Korean friends (or the people who have the Korean bariants over here) say anything in the next days about pros and cons of this update.

Waiting for lg H960A xD
I have a LG V10 F600L running on Android 5.1.1.
I bought this phone used and when I bought it, it was already rooted. I don't have any experience with this sort of thing and I don't really want my finances to be burdened with replacing a phone if I accidentally brick it.
I know its a lot to request but can anyone take the time tell me how exactly I should proceed? What steps should I take? what guides I should follow? etc.
I have literally never touched the technical aspects of a phone's OS and firmware, etc. in my life before. But I really do want to update and will follow all instructions and precautions.
Thank you in advance

If Any Moderator See This Thread , Please Remove It Completely Because I Don't Know How To Delete A Thread By Myself
I'm confused about your post.. There is NO kdz for the D850.. Also theres already a guide in the general section. The D850 uses tot files and in which there is no MM tot. I think you may be thinking of the D850PR which those files are already in my guide and in which there is risk by downgrading/upgrading a D850 to a D850PR.
So you may want to change the title to D850PR if you keep this thread.

Yeah but it's D850PR firmware not D850. Which can cause issues for some people if flashed on a D850.
Is it rootable? I didn't think the D850 had root unless you downgraded to kitkat to root? (Sorry haven't really kept up with root)

How is it fixable if MM is not rootable? Where you able to successfully flash back to the D850 KitKat firmware? as normally it causes issues with flashtool when changing around models. But you should really mention that its D850PR firmware so those don't get confused as its not an AT&T D850 firmware.

Yes I know its stock unmodified its a kdz I already had the kdz. But looking around MM 6.0 is not rootable on the D850 thats what I was saying, Only way to root is if you downgrade to KitKat. Unless MM is rootable for the D850PR. But it doesnt seem so. I don't have a D850 anymore to test it.

I don't think you read my post correctly, Yes I know how to go back to stock, I created the guide for it years ago What I am saying is you cant fix the cust_error without root and MM 6.0 doesn't seem rootable.

Hopefully it can be, would be great! Just saying the D850 MM still cannot be rooted to this day. Hopefully there will be some more testers soon. Wish the PR firmware was around back when I had my G3 when it came out
