Thanks, is there a link on how to root Moto X? It's kinda mentioned at the end of the unlock bootloader video.

Check the twrp recovery install video it should have the root in it. Once the bootloader is unlocked just install twrp then flash supersu.zip in recovery to get root. It's pretty easy.

So what if you want to move from 4.4 to 4.4.2 from an ATT, rooted, non Dev, non custom recovery moto x? I was under the impression using this boot loader unlock method only worked for Dev editions..

You are correct. Bootloader unlock method only works for Dev Editions, and phones from T-Mobile, Sprint and other carriers where Moto gives out bootloader unlock codes. If you have an ATT or Verizon retail or Moto Maker X, and were not lucky enough to buy an unlock code from the Chinese seller (before it got shut down), you can not unlock your bootloader and use TWRP to root.
If you have a LOCKED (and not unlockable) bootloader, like ATT/Verizon, and you are on rooted 4.4 using SlapMyMoto and disabled write protection by using MotoWpNoMo, taking the 4.4.2 OTA update will revert the effects of MotoWpNoMo, patch the exploit used, and write protection will become re-enabled. You will likely keep root, but with write protection enabled, any changes you make to /system or the other protected folders will be lost at power off/on, making root less useful. Since 4.4.2 also patches the exploit used to gain root, if you hadn't rooted before taking 4.4.2, you wont be able to root it once its on your phone.
HOWEVER... If you are rooted & write protection disabled with 4.4, you could consider using SafeStrap with 4.4.2. I don't know how well it works (I have a Dev Edition, so I haven't tried it), but it is an option for using 4.4.2

Hey guys, I'm getting a locked G2 but don't know if the boot loader will be locked too. Do you have any idea how to check that before purchase? What will be the limitations of the locked boot loader and is it possible to unlock it. Can you explain with few words what wold my options be? I really like the G2 but I might opt for the N5 at the end.
Every G2 has a locked bootloader. Mut every G2's locked bootloader can be bypassed with loki. So in short yes you will be able to flash stuff.
Sent from my LG D802
So the bootloader doesn't matter if you can flash a custom recovery, right ? I mean - what limitations will the locked bootloader bring in the long run, as I'm expecting to use the device for 2 years (buying on contract) ? I read some posts that there are some G2-s with unlocked bootloader and I'm a bit puzzled...
4.2.2 bootloader can be bypassed with a loki patch. You can root, use custom recovery, ROMs, the lot.
4.4.2 has the loki exploit patched and only root is possible so far.
Any idea if the device might ship with 4.4.2 pre installed?

eventhough it is preinstalled, you can still flash a kdz file to go back to 4.2.2 (to achieve root & custom recovery) :good:
Well that is really good news !

Hi guys,
just bought my H831 tonight, and I'm wondering about rooting/ custom roms, and if it is a thing for this model yet. I tried to follow LG's bootloader unlock process, but i keep coming up with no adb devices, and no matter what drivers i try, i can't get it to show up, if anyone has suggestions, please let me know. As for the rest, anyone have good suggestions for custom roms? just got into the scene with this phone and I have no idea whats happening.
Thanks

There is no root or bootloader unlock for h831, the official unlock method is available only for european h850s, tot method with root and twrp si only available for H830.
Welp. As always, before buying a device, check if there's root or roms available, not after.

Nobody knows nothing, atm there are no dev that are working on obtaining root on other models afaik
Well ****, I miss root, but SafetyNet's been a major pain in the ass as of late, so now my h831 stays stock. Better than an iphone though.
Isnt any threads on this device.
Figured Id start one.
At first glances. No root. Oem u lock is in dev options. No fastboot does have dl mode. I doubt root will come anytime soon.
I do really like this device. I have averaged 6 to 8 hours of sot time
Been attempting to pull a stock image for restores with lgup and flashtool
So everyone knows the cricket version is downgraded. Only has a 1.4 ghrtz quadcore i stead of the. Octacore. And only 2 gb of ram verus the 3 i see everywhere else.
Camera reminds me of the g2s
Kingo kingroot and all the one clicks dont work. Next will be zeroing the laf to see if i get fastboot. The no root debloater app doesnt work on this device either. So finding root is a must.
Im assuming as owning many lg phones the bootloader is not locked but signed so without the signing key and a modified laf partition to enable fastboot with accepted unlock commands or an engineering bootloader
Unlock will be highly inprobable for some time. Or unless a exploit such as bump or loki or something very similar
Just got this phone 2 days ago and it's pretty snappy and I am quite pleased with it honestly. The fingerprint scanner was the selling point... And price lol. With root this device would be no doubt a beast.

thats funny my finger print scanner has yet to reconize my finger i registered both my pointer fingers twice and still nothing.im a mechanic so my prints are pretty trashed but i tried for like 4 or 5 hours and just switched it back.
all im waiting for is a stock firmware as of rite now no atni roll back is implented or 0. so first firmwares usually is first rooted or moded takes a load of messing with laf and recovery partitions

ive been all over it trying and trying ive started looking into other lg methods with locked bootloaders and nougat
the v20 just got nougat to so hopefully between the g6 and v20 root methods that may come to be we can adapt one to us
sucks the old root injection throws secure bot cause nougatchecks system to see if modified its gonna be mnore of a systemless root from what i see and know
The v20 uses the dirty santa exploit to obtain root.
The LG G6 doesn't have root yet.
If the bootloader is signed, Safestrap is how we got around it on AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 n900a. Still have to have root first tho.
It looks like boost, cricket, T-Mobile, Straight Talk all have the LG Stylo 3 so far. So alot of people will own these because their cheap.
I'd like to get one myself but without root and ROMs no thanks.
Help
Has anyone found a solution to the root of a lg m430 yet???
Off thread device;
Anyone currently looking into the Stylo 3 straight talk bootloader unlock? (Does it just come down to lg bridge recognizing the device?)

Please excuse me if this is a silly question. What would running "fastboot oem unlock" do, if anything, to this model? Apparently, unlocking the bootloader on the LG Stylo 3 Plus is this simple (assuming OEM unlock is turned on in dev options, of course). I realize the non-plus model is different, and Cricket's LG-M430 even more so, but has anyone tried running this command and can confirm it doesn't work? I wonder why LG would freely allow the Plus to be unlocked, but not this model...Perhaps Cricket had some say in this?
Also, (another noob question) am I correct in thinking that rooting without first unlocking the bootloader will NOT trigger some unwanted mechanism of the bootloader? From what I've read, a locked bootloader only verifies the integrity of the kernel and recovery, and will not check for "illegal" root access. Are there any built in mechanics that check for root? I ask out of curiosity, as I am aware there are currently no root exploits for this phone. It seems like you all agree unlocking the bootloader is the most logical first step. Is there any benefit to figuring this out first over trying to simply root the device? Thanks in advance. I'm very interested in understanding all this, and am hopeful that I'll be able to somehow contribute in getting this model rooted.

The way that they locked the bootloader prevents you from getting anywhere close to fastboot. LG has this locked down severely.

Hey guys/girls,
I'm gh0st.
I am an amateur/beginner Python 3.x programmer so although I'm not extremely knowledgeable, I can follow along with any kind of instructions you would be gracious enough to share.
My native OS on my main machine if I need to utilize that to manually unlock the bootloader or something like that is: Linux Ubuntu 16.04 (LTS version.)
I'm not sure if that matters but anyway... I am just wondering if anyone has had any success rooting this particular phone or simply rooting LG devices in general? LGE G Stylo 3 aka Model LS-777. The LG Stylo 3 plus from boost has been rooted successful day. However, I can't seem to find a way to unlock the bootloader.
If you could please help me root my LG Stylo 3 I bought from boost, I will pay you no problem if that's what it takes. I will absolutely pay you for your work if you can pull it off. I did buy it as a "Boost" phone so if I'm stuck with Boost, I'm 110% okay with that.
If you can assist me in gaining root access to this LGE LS-777, and Flash some custom roms and stuff like that to it I would be so appreciative. Like I said I'll pay you for your efforts.
Thank you for your help in advance.

I hate to tell you but there is no root for that model. I know there are couple fake guides on different sites, but be careful trying some of those methods as it's dangerous territory, good luck, hoopfully they will get root one day

I haven't heard anything on it. For some reason LG locked down the bootloader. Without access to fastboot there really isn't any way to get it unlocked if I understand it right. I remember trolling around the f few threads there are, and it seemed like no one was trying anymore.
Great so i just got a phone that i can never debloat

I would think if you search around and find the right info you could modify the bit image somehow. I know when I got the S7 edge right when it came out there was an engineer kernel out and that was the only way. Now chain fire had an auto root for it. I hope you find it. I'm sure the person that does will appreciated by many that's for sure.
Or if it's on your budget I heard that metro PC's is giving the 3 plus as a promo if you Port your existing number over to them. Just have to buy three months of unlimited service and it is 40 a month I believe. After 90b days they will unlock it for any carrier. Not a bad deal

I wouldnt know about king root, but one click root said it was rootable. i just dont have the 40 dollars they wanted to do it
One-click methods do not have the capabilities to root the Stylo 3. Systemless root is the only viable option and requires a modification of the bootchain (/aboot), and then pushing a patched boot image by use of the engineer version of LG-UP. Custom recovery doesn't seem to be an option at this time.
I wouldn't know. I hate how locked the boot loader is though. I'm trying to find a way into it. Currently, you get into factory reset mode by holding either power up or down (I don't remember currently) but you can get into an IMEI/Serial display mode by holding both volume up and down on bootup. I wonder if there are any secrets to be found there?
Bootloader blocked.
I know either cricket or LG blocked bootloader access. But you can get Dev options by tapping the Build Number. Setting>General>About Phone>Software info.
Also idk if this will help, but Nugent does the most peculiar thing when you tap on "Android version" within the same menu. Take a look. I'm not sure if this is like a "Ha,Ha!" From the devs but it definitely had me scratching my dome.

LG-UP is basically a firmware flashing utility which is actually used in LG certified stores and service centers. Very similar to Odin for Samsung devices. Yes the utility installs to a PC or laptop and flashes the firmware to your LG device via a tethered connection (and your device being in Download Mode).
