Is there a way to root the LG G7 thin Q for T-Mobile? Or is this still a dead end?
It's a dead end. As far as I know, nobody's found an exploit to root the stock ROM, unlock T-Mobile's version of the bootloader or crossflash the device to a different region's ROM. It's a shame because it's a fairly nice phone.
Trade it in for a OnePlus 8T+ 5G. Those can be cross flashed to the global ROM.

Thinking about switching from Sprint to AT&T and grabbing the G4 when it comes out. Is the G3 easily "mod-able"? I only ask because my brother has the S5 and Samsung has locked that bootloader so tight, there's no way flash custom kernels or modify radios. Is it the same for LG devices?
Thanks

LG you don't have to unlock the boot loader. It's called something (can't place my mind on the name) that bypasses so you can flash custom Roms. If you'd look at the development thread you'll see all the mods/Roms

Beware
AT&T has locked the bootloader on the G3, and likely the G4 as well.
The only reason we on AT&T have custom ROMs is because the code has been "broken" to properly sign custom ROMs and recovery images, which trick the bootloader into thinking that these are "allowed" software.
In essence, it is *as if* the AT&T LG G3 has an unlocked bootloader and development can thus move forward.
It may or may NOT ever happen with the AT&T G4. I don't think we know yet.
I suggest further reading and discussion around here before jumping in on the G4 is custom ROMs are an essential for you.
Howdy folks,
I was going to buy a new ATT LG G3 (D850) to replace an aging Galaxy S3. At $250 it seems a good deal.
Then I read the bad news about how lollipop 5.0 push screwed things up? Should I stay away from this due to Lollipop 5.0 issues?
[I generally don't put custom roms due to lack of time, but if there is one that's bug free/stable I can consider that]
Thanks
I would recommend go for newer phone than older model. Try LG G4 or Samsung phone as your new phone.
As far as lollipop issues in LG G3, I didn't find any issue in my phone, I was very much happy.
Hope this helps.
I just got a new g3 from someone off CL. Definitely worth it. Took me 5 mins to root and put resurrection mm on here. Phone flies and no major bugs that hinder me from loving this phone
While I would recommend a new model (for LG the G4 or V10), the G3 is not a bad model for $250, especially if new. In regards to Lollipop, there are some minor bugs, but no more than I have seen on any other model in my opinion. I have not really noticed any bugs
It depends on what you want to do with your phone. What I mean by that is so you want custom roms? Or at least want to root and install a custom recovery?
Idk about ATT but I'm on Verizon and a lot of there phones have locked bootloader or no way to loki hack and install a custom recovery so that's one reason I still have my g3 after a little over a year and have not bought a g4 [emoji14]
So I say if that's what you want do some research and see what ATT phones can do that.
Also would be using a contract update or just buying it straight out, if it's a contract try to get something newer if you using a contract not the g3 is a great choice I'm running cm 13 and love my g3

Well I have had my verizon G3 since August of 2014 so it's been rooted ever since I got it . But from what I have seen on forms. You should be able to downgrade the software from the latest to older ones then root and install twrp. Unless the latest update blocks that

My question is does M8 need a different rom for every variant like LG G3 or it has a unified rom that I can flash on every variant?
Most ROMS work on all carriers but you should verify compatibility first. For example, Verizon will have different radios compared to Sprint. Using the wrong radio for your carrier will cause problems however as long as you are s-off it's pretty hard to brick the phone.
Hy, just wondering if there's anything for the LG stylo 2, meaning about recovery ,root, and hopefully roms?. Thanks

Boost is billing the neutered version of the LG G Stylo as the Stylo 2. And if you have already updated to 6.0 there is no current way to root or rollback to 5.1.1.

I'm currently living in México. It just came out last weekend. It came already with M 6.0.1. I'm guessing that I will have to wait for a while. Thanks for getting back to me.

Theres hardly any ROMs for the original Stylo so who knows. Seems we got left behind.

I think Nemo is confused. As was said earlier there Stylo 2 just came out. It came with 6.0.1 The G Stylo came with 5.1.1 and could be up or down graded as you saw fit and if you were willing to do the work of restoring kHz's etc.
These value phones seem to get left behind quite a lot. I think the G Stylo only had ...2 custom roms? Both Lollipop. When the 2 came out I jumped on it. This far nothing really can be done to it. People are working on root, and I've been doing my own searching for it. It looks to be a sleight ways away tho. Just be patient and enjoy the phone as it it. It's still pretty good

Actually I am not. Now there is a real Stylo 2 but Boost marketed a cut down version of the Stylo with 1gig of Ram and an 8gig rom as the Stylo 2 at the time of the previous post. And once you had 6.0 on it any tampering beyond basic file maintenance popped some form of tamper seal that made your phone brick with a 1003 error. So no you could not roll back because Boost never released a kdz and with a tamper proof bootloader we could not generate one. The T-Mobile and Metro version could be unlocked, rooted, and romed. That one had 2 gigs of ram and a 16gig rom. So no not confused you are just late to the party. (Also I owned the phone op and I were speaking of, hard to be 'confused' when starin at it.') The one you are speaking of was just released this month to the prepaid markets.
Sad to read no rom for the LG stylo 2
yup, it's 2017 and still literally nothing. guess this phone is "left out" and no one seems to have this phone to experiment on it and root it.
Hi All,
Is there any way to essentially put Tmo version of the software on the AT&T LG G5?
I gave my AT&T G5 to a friend, with the unlock code, and they've been fine on Tmo, but I've noticed they are not getting the AT&T updates (Sept 30). In additional I see the Tmo Updates are further ahead than AT&T anyways.
Since they are on Tmo, is there anyway to flash the stock Tmo software on?
Thanks in advance!
I hear its possible but you would run into so many problems such as bootloops and bricks. Its best advised you dont flash t mobile firmware on it. I remember when I had an LG G2 from verizon someone made a stock custom rom the the t mobile variant. That would be your best option, to make a custom rom from the t mobile g5 and flash it to the at&t variant. But since it will be a custom rom, you will get notifications saying you have an ota but they never work
