Root without flashing TWRP

So, does anyone know if it's possible to boot twrp without flashing it and then root from there? I'm only asking because it would be nice to retain the ota feature in stock. Yet, would rooting make OTAs not work?

LG Risio(h343) ROOT?

i was just seeing if there is a working root and TWRP recovery install method for this phone yet...does any1 know?

Can I root and keep the stock ROM?

I have bought an LG G6 (US997) and planning on rooting it.
Can it be rooted and keep the stock ROM?
TIA

Yes course it can lol.

Yeah you can
I have rooted h870 with stock rom but when you get a new ota you can't install then you need a zip file for the new update and install it with your twrp

Thanks for the replies!
So, the G6 will be rooted the moment I unlock the bootloader?

No ! after unlocking the bootloader you need to install twrp and root ( superSu or Magisk ) for your phone but before doing it your phone need to be a free carrier

So you have 3 steps
1-Unlock bootloader
2-Flash twrp
3-Flash root
Good luck and be carefull to no brick your phone or lose your data

You should really do some more research before doing this. You clearly don't have a clue.

When you say Flash root , do I simply install SuperSU? If yes, what method of installation works? Play Store, ADB, or TWRP?
Thanks again.

I'd recommend Magisk over SuperSU at this point. Download the Magisk zip and flash it with TWRP.
If you don't root immediately after installing TWRP, your phone will revert to the stock recovery on the next boot.

V20 Dirty santa Help

Followed all instructions but can't boot back into twrp and root wasn't installed. I need help with figuring out what to do? is there a simple way to just flash twrp onto the device? I am stuck and its a verizon so I can restore the firmware to stock but, I would like to just flash twrp if possible.

Bootloader unlock, magisk, recovery, root? What's possible?

Just a quick question. What's possible to currently do with this phone (assuming latest stock update is applied). Magisk , custom recovery, bootloader unlock, root? What can be done?
