I figured we needed a bounty thread to kick start development. Lets keep it clean and on topic. This device is killer for the price point and has an unlockable bootloader. We desire root and twrp for mods and custom roms which im positive will come in time.
Edit: i no longer have this device so im withdrawing my donation. Will keep the thread open for other members. I see root is here so i encourage the members to donate to the appropriate devs.
In for $20

@DallasCZ
Should create a root thread in the general section. With procedure and all the extras you posted in the other ”any root" thread. Just to get all the info together for someone to make a custom recovery and next ROMs hopefully.
Give some props to @frankee207 for finding the original root script also.

I would think you send it to the person that completes the task. Probably their PayPal email. If its split between 2 or more people, split the donation pledged.

Will probably be a 2 or 3 person split if you consider 1 person found the info used to get root, another took that info and changed it to fit our device and a 3rd mystery person will provide TWRP (eventually).

Anyone try this yet? Is it a temp root or a perm root?

Quite a few people have tried it with success, myself included. Check out this page and onward.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/help/root-ability-phone-t3116179/page26
It is perma-root. Until you unroot via SuperSU, that is. Or factory reset.
It works. Adb booted the boot.img from bootloader like the windows commands in the root.bat from linux. No problems at all.
First complete guide with working TWRP and root on Idol 3 4.7" (6039Y) was written by me. See post #172 in [Q] Any root ability on this phone yet? topic.
In the matter of Idol 3 5.5" (6045Y) i think frankee207 deserved reward for finding TCL 3S M3G rooting method (see post). In TCL3S M3G root-20150524.exe, that he find, there is a boot.img with CF-Auto-Root from Chainfire and rec.bat file. DallasCZ only rewrited this .bat in english (in original it's chineese) and was write a guide. Without TCL3S M3G root-20150524.exe founded by frankee207 all of this would be impossible.

Agreed. Now that @Unjustified Dev compiled a working twrp for the 5.5" idol and we have root, unlocked bootloader and twrp now. Bounty should be spread around amongst them all. Have everything for development now. Nice.

My idol is the wife's so I'm not going to to be flashing anything as of yet as it is running great out of box. I would like to see this phone on CM12.1 (or other 5.1 ROM) to see how 5.1 and the heating and battery do.
I'm still good to drop $20....

There's always a chance you can flash a ROM zip with FlashFire. It works on the VK810 G Pad 8.3, and to backup and restore, but for some reason it won't flash SuperSU.zip even when it's part of the ROM zip, or work with its EverRoot option at least on Jellybean or KitKat. Of course until you get root, nothing can happen, and if you have a locked bootloader and no vulnerability is discovered, you won't be able to have permanent root.
Damn I'm disappointed there's no root for this lol. Jus purchased and was looking forward to freeing up space.

A new update is coming.
Check the source code here:http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list...LL&search=v521
There used to be v10b source code and it disappeared two days ago. Today there is source code for a newer version v10c: LGV521WG_Marshmallow_Android_V521WG_v10c.
So it means we should be able to root our tablet once anyone pulls the new firmware v10c.
Update: I just checked system update, and there is an update with size of 452.5 MB, which would be automatically downloaded between 11 pm and 4 am.
Vola....

T-Mobile is probably updating it to add a Device Unlock app as a system app. Could you put the update on Dropbox or something if you downloaded it? I don't see it on the website at the moment.
Edit: Seeing it now using link in main thread URL.

massive props to him. its been a long time since ive seen that kind of attitude on xda. in what seems like forever ago i ran a team of devs who went from unloved device to unloved device trying to kick start the community as best we could and help them. teach em how to make kernels, how to do recoveries and roms just so that the knowledge was passed on as well as allowing there to be more people ready to help out other devices as time went on.
sadly this is lost these days.
he dosent even own the tablet but he will work on the rom for us .i will be testing his build for him on monday so hopefully he will post it by monday if everything works out with the build.

Well, please update us when you have a working build from him.
$25 for either. Or anything else that would allow a dark theme.
Hey there everyone,
I have had the S7 Edge for a long time now, and want to start rooting it and installing TWRP. Was always easy to do it on my previous phones, but this one just has me confused. I've looked through the forums and everything trying to find an answer before writing this, but no luck here.
So, does anyone have a guide or could direct me where or how I am supposed to root and install twrp?
Thank you so very much.

rooting is hacking!
so in new smartphone some companies tried to make it more difficult to approach it
you have to read carefully and do all steps in dev sections.
for example

Then your bootloader remains unlocked. Root with the tool of your choice; most favor Magisk. Also pay attention to format of data partition (ext4 or f2fs) and encryption status. Both are considerations when rooting systemlessly.

No - because if you're asking then you likely don't have the skills/experience to get yourself out of trouble if something goes wrong. And it likely will with this device. Suggest you consult rooting threads in the G4P help section along with those for the Moto E4 which is similar and came with Nougat 7.1.1. I have one of those; not the easiest pup to root. Boot looped twice before I got things sorted. Been doing this a long time, did my homework and still ran into issues.
Unrooted Nougat isn't horrible. Enjoy your *working* device while figuring out if/how to root it. Waiting for a guide specific to this device might be your best bet.
Can anyone help me with no network issue? Just updated to 7..1.1 but no network. Help pls

Hello. My question is not if there is root but is a developer actually working on something?
Yeah i just got my g6 and was wondering if this will be the same situation as all the samsung phones?
Short answer is no.
I recall discussion of an exploit that a developer was working on but as far as I know it is not really active at present.
Somebody correct me if I am wrong
