Need a root method for LG V20 AT&T

I'm wanting to update from a note 4 to the LG V20 but I don't need another phone I can't root... So is there anyone with a root out for this phone... I'm dying for a new phone with root capability... I would greatly appreciate it..

anyone? I have an ATT LGV20 and just want to know if I can root it somehow? Does it have to be "unlocked" first?

Look in the ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries & Other Developments. The AT&T variant is the H910 - so there is currently a bootloader unlock & root method available for it. (I have the H910 and am unlocked & rooted )
Twisted

I didn't think that the H910 was bootable yet. I don't see anything in the Roms section. Only stuff for the H918.
Edit
Actually I'm CONFIDENT that it isnt rootable yet!

I'm confident you need glasses
Root was obtained for the AT&T H910 a week ago and the thread is the most popular one in the roms section. So you need to look again, or do a search for "[LS997|VS995|H910|F800L] DirtySanta Bootloader unlock and Root guide"

... I wear glasses, so... yeeeeeeeeeah.... >.<
I use the XDA app, and all I was able to see were H918 roms. I've heard of the DirtySanta unlock though, but wasn't aware that it was for the H910 now too. And if it's only a week old, then that's still brand new.

Sprint LG V20 root

I tried dirty santa but that doesn't work for me. is there another way i can unlock and root my sprint lg v20?

If you are on zv6 or higher then no. Only dirtysanta can root the ls997

There is not root for H990ds variant.

Really? Any source for this I can read?
This has kind of put me off rooting it. The first phone ive heard of that rooting it causes to break some standard functionality.

This is dependent on which kernel you flash. In @emdroidle 's thread about root coming for the H990DS there's a bunch of different ones with various fixes. I'm personally using the Jahlex v0.2d and video works fine, as does camera focus.

Any Successful Root out there for LG V20 Sprint LS 997ZV7 :)

Hello folks
I never used Android without root but looks like NO NO for this device.
Is there a root out there for this LG phone ? LG V20 LS997 ZV7 which I assume is version 7. I tried some auto root software but no luck. Looks like LG is not popular here. Phone is not bad but if I can root it .
Thanks in Advance for responding.

No root yet. There are some people still working on it.
Also the g5 and g6 forums are also working on it as far as i've been able to find though search.

Yes. Up to zv7. I have root now.

loopytee. Really??
loopytee: how did you do it??

If you do a search, there is a thread on how to use the VS995 KDZ to roll back, and then flash the Sprint firmware back on the phone after you are rooted....
Remember folks search is your friend.
EDIT: In the search bar on the left I typed in "ZV7 root" and the first hit was: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/root-ls997-to-zv9-t3696488

Noob Question Please please reply....

Hi,im using a couple phone,ip8 and an LG G4 LS991,i love lg but things that i hate is this g4 is the bootloader cant be unlock coz my device antirollback was v4 and i cant root or modifying the phone.
Looking for a month but many thread say the v4 cant be bootloader unlocked.
So...
I want buy a brand new LG V20 or a Refurbish one,but thing that i want to know,is there a version of the V20 that the bootloader cant be unlock and have a antirollback version like the LG G4 LS991???
Please answer me,your ans very helpful,after solved ill delete the thread.
Huge Thanks.

Whatever you do, don't EVER buy a phone from Sprint. You really should stay away from ALL carriers, but if you must buy a carrier branded phone -- T-Mobile is the only choice.
For now, the LS997 (Sprint V20) is the only model that can't be rooted.

If you read and follow the instructions in the thread I believe it tells you to downgrade to 10p and gives you a link to the file
