HI @all,
now that we have a FW for the device - is root possible?
All known root methods are not working.

Well, it says "tested on device" and is from 9/4, before the device was even unavailable. I'd be careful that apk isn't something more.

Yeah that's also the reason why I decided not to download it, I'll just wait till someone @ XDA finds a way to root the device. It's not like we'll die because our device isn't rooted for x weeks/months.
Weeks/months?! I would die! It's been a day and the amount of things I can't do is driving me nuts!
If you have an unlocked boot loader see what I say at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55709585. If you don't I think you'll be waiting for a while - someone needs to find an exploit and write the app/code needed to exploit it. This has become increasingly hard as Android has become more secure - before Towelroot AFAIK the Z1/Z2 was not rootable for a long time. You'd probably be waiting a similar length of time for the next big root exploit.

Would it not be helpful to contact Sony themselves? They're increasingly developer friendly, these days. Maybe they'd be willing to offer pointers to root app developers?

Well I know people at Sony and long story short: if you want root unlock the boot loader. Its as simple as that. You have to understand that while a root exploit looks nice to tinkerers its also a serious security issue which must be fixed - that is why many root solutions also patch the exploit they use after using it.
Does unlocking the bootloader require wiping the phone? I know this is required on the nexus phones. If it requires wipe then its the very first thing I'm doing once I get the phone out of the box.

I'm aware of this ... but on the one hand being one of the few if only manufacturers to provide official unlocking for the bootloaders (with the obvious intention of spurring development etc), but on the other actively closing non-simple (i.e. ones requiring a dedicated program) root 'exploits' would seem a little at odds. Is it really that black and white? You'd think it might be in their interests to provide an official complex / secure rooting method.

Your statements contradict themselves. Rooting without unlocking the bootloader needs a security flaw. How can any method which leaves a security hole be secure?
Bootloader unlocking gets around this by letting you control the boot partition of the device so you can disable the "security barrier" that android provides. This is a choice you are explicitly making which is why it is the only "secure" way to root.

I've read some people saying that unlocking the bootloader causes you to lose your DRM keys which apparently would affect software/ camera issues?
Can anyone verify this?

This is very true. On the z1c I neglected to back up the TA partition. And apparently lost native mirror cast and some camera features when I rolled the device back to stock.
Back up your TA partition before unlocking BL.

One thing has nothing to do with the other.
Lollipop requires some changes to have root access and that was only possible with a modified kernel.
Now Chainfire managed to root the Lollipop without a custom kernel.
But installing ZIP file of root need a custom recovery , so still need to have the device with unlocked bootloader .
I've done the root Lollipop using this new root method of Chainfire.

If you read the article it appears that there is no need to install a zip in a custom recovery to get root with this method.
" the need for ramdisk modifications was concerning for many users of bootloader-locked devices for which no unlock is available (yes, they do unfortunately exist). The answer to their prayers is now here"

Hmmm interesting.
Then the process should be with CF-Auto-Root .
I used one of those before when I first root in Lollipop.
But thought the command "mfastboot boot cf-auto-root.img" only work with unlocked bootloader and not the locked too.
Amazing.
Me excite!
You can only flash signed zips, so this only makes it easier because you dont need a device specific package for rooting

OF course
This revelation means that Android 5.0 users*no longer need to run a modified kernel to gain root access via SuperSU (or other root solutions). While not a huge problem on Nexus devices with unlockable bootloaders, the need for ramdisk modifications was concerning for many users of bootloader-locked devices for which no unlock is available (yes, they do unfortunately exist). The answer to their prayers is now here, and we can present an exclusive explanation of the changes needed. At least for now (until/unless Google patch this), it is possible to gain root access and then install and use SuperSU on a stock Android 5.0 device, without any kernel ramdisk tweaking. The reason for this is the need for SuperSU to run a service as root, to allow for unconstrained root access on SELinux-protected devices.

Thanks. I've only had this phone for a few weeks, and I immediately started looking for a root process to get rid of bloatware. Very confusing situation. Lots of posts about One Click Root, Towelroot, etc....all very misleading, for a noob to Samsung. I had already seen the post you suggested, but (at this point) am not terribly interested in the downgrading route. Maybe later. Keep hopeing one of the brilliant devs here will figure out a way to root without downgrading first.

This is what people don't understand: No one is working to root this phone on lollipop. There are assuredly folks working to crack the OS in general, but frankly no one cares about a legacy phone now that the S6 is out. So until L is exploited, there won't be any news for this phone.
So if your phone came with an OS lower than OE1, your only choice right now is to backup, downgrade, TR, profit. There is no one-click-root for the 900V. Honestly, just take half a day and do it. You'll be glad you did for just AdAway!

nah, nah, I was full of it. Apologies. See - what the carriers don't want you to know is that there are actually TWO versions of a device - the consumer version, which is completely locked down (as it should be), and the developer version of the device. OK, yeah the developer version of a device usually costs twice as much as the consumer version - but the bootloader is unlocked, it's easy to flash away the stock, non-root consumer ROM without fear of bricking, and its APIs probably have many more functions that help with debugging and performance tuning. So as a professional developer what I need to do is trade in my Galaxy S5 consumer edition for the developer edition, and I'll be able to install MultiROM, CyanogenMod, SuperSU, and all the other developer candy.

You have to read what he wrote. If your Verizon consumer edition phone has the OE1 or OG5 build you have the locked down signed bootloader. If your Verizon consumer edition has a build prior to OE1, you can still downgrade to KitKat, root, and run a few ROMs through Safestrap or Flashfire.

Exploits that give you full, permanent root are becoming harder to achieve in recent Android versions.
I know that for the zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) there was untethered twrp, this was then used to flash SuperSU to the device granting root access BUT that was when it was released with Android 5.0 Lollipop...
Hopefully this can carried over to Marshmallow for the Zenfone 3, it might give us some hope too...
Depends how many Devs actually get this device....

You can do this:
Make sure you backup your data with LG Backup to memory card.
Enable Developer Options (hit build numbers in about phone few times).
Enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging.
When hooking up with your host computer, check the phone screen to allow your host computer.
Open cmd
Locate your adb platform-tools folder
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock (doing such will erase your phone)

I guess he's just priming the pump for the inevitable hundreds of threads asking if the bootloader is unlocked or the "HELP!!! I'VE BRICKED MY PHONE AND I CAN'T GET UP!!!" threads from the morons for whom reading is not fundamental.
Since the bootloader is unlocked, is it safe to assume at some point we will have root?
Are you able to use fastboot commands? Such as to write a new recovery img. After that getting root is usually a piece of cake.
Not sure if it's different in Nougat but I think with an unlocked bootloader it really is just a matter of time till we get what we want (root).
As a piece of reference on the T-Mobile G5 we were able to root the G5 only after getting a .TOT with TWRP as the recovery because T-Mobile had somehow removed all the fastboot commands on that device except fastboot OEM unlock. If that is the case with the V20 we need talk to @tungkick again to manufacture another .TOT for us again.

Yes I think so from my previous experience this is almost always the case.
With the V10 a user @tungkick created a .tot with root (SuperSU) patched into it. Then use LGUP to flash the .tot.
Once that is done flashing TWRP can be flashed using Flashfire by Chainfire.
Or instead of patching root maybe the .tot can be modified to have TWRP built in...?
Nvm...didnt read the previous comments.
Well. Someone in androiding.how is keeping track seems like it. According to what i read, quoting
"The root method for LG V20 will be a systemless root without doubt. Android Nougat comes with enhanced enforcing SELinux policy for better security on Android devices, so systemless root will be the way to go to get root access without compromising the device’s security."
So, if this is true, at least there is a path to follow.

Systemless root is almost becoming the default now. And if we have TWRP is pretty much just flashing the systemless root and that's it. In the recent past systemless root has not been a problem.

Systemless root is almost becoming the default now. And if we have TWRP is pretty much just flashing the systemless root and that's it. In the recent past systemless root has not been a problem.

Well. Someone in androiding.how is keeping track seems like it. According to what i read, quoting
"The root method for LG V20 will be a systemless root without doubt. Android Nougat comes with enhanced enforcing SELinux policy for better security on Android devices, so systemless root will be the way to go to get root access without compromising the device’s security."
So, if this is true, at least there is a path to follow.

Systemless is the way...I'll try to create a tot file..if they have released it yet

With the V10 a user @tungkick created a .tot with root (SuperSU) patched into it. Then use LGUP to flash the .tot.
Once that is done flashing TWRP can be flashed using Flashfire by Chainfire.
Or instead of patching root maybe the .tot can be modified to have TWRP built in...?
Nvm...didnt read the previous comments.
