I'm sure there's been many posts on how to root this device before. But my S5 is AT&T, and just received the Marshmallow update last week. Not to mention the last samsung I had attempted to root (S4, 4.4.1 kitkat) didn't end too well.
Can anyone give me links to forums OR if you know how to root my device, care to help me?

You'll not get root access on that s5 active if it's on marshmallow due to the bootloader being locked. I have one and the only reason I have root on it is because I still have the OC5 bootloader on it so it will forever be on TMS5. Sorry buddy.

So we're fresh out of luck?
No other options?
Can't unlock the locked bootloader?
Can't downgrade?
Just got to take it. Well f.....
Thanks
I hear I had root options. I'm getting this phone in 2 days from Amazon. I'm searching through forums now. Anyone have anything to add here? Any info would n appreciated.

I do believe they have a way to downgrade back to lollipop now and get root access on lollipop but you will need to check your build version/number and see if it matches the one in their instructions. Here's one for s5active which is what I have but I don't see the one for s5. On another note my g870 build has been g900 for as long as I've had it.

Is there any root yet for H918 10p if so... Please direct me to it asap lol. If not I might have to warranty exchange and then root or wait.. Thanks guys!
10p currently can not be rooted. There are some thoughts and ideas floating around, but more than likely another Linux kernel exploit will need to be found. Also, just an FYI, T-Mobile incremented the ARB version for 10p, so don't try to force an older version to flash -- that will blow the qfuse, and that is a hardware issue that can't be fixed without replacing the CPU.

I wonder if the V30 will be locked down like this?? I really DONT like the current/ future status of US based TMobile devices and the lack of root options.

Yea its trye
My first Android phone was an HTC EVO 4G (the original WiMAX version). The first one that I got had an HBOOT with S-ON (locked bootloader). Reading on here, I found out that there were versions with an older HBOOT that had S-OFF, so I carted my butt down to the Sprint store and didn't even make up a story. I told them flat out what I wanted, and since I was still within the window of being able to cancel my contract, they took me back and let me look at the boxes that they had. I found one with the proper version, opened it up, verified that it was truly S-OFF and that was it.
Now, that was back in 2012 and things have changed since then. But if you just bought the phone, take it back and tell them exactly what you want. The LG V20 box has the software version that is installed on the UPC sticker.

Nah my man I've had it since day one I'll just wait till September. 28 for the V30 or when ever it comes out.
I rooted soon as I got the phone... Then the USB port over heated and melted so I sent it in for repair. Came back with 10p on it.... Mfer..

Brian,
I'm not sure what version of the V20 you have, but I've got the H918 and I'm running 10p rooted with Magisk. I started with SuperSU, but wanted to start over and try out a systemless root. Real simple steps too..
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash SuperSU or Magisk
3. Root achieved.
I attached a couple of screenshots. How easy LG phones are to unlock the bootloader and flash root is the reason why I always buy LG phones, not Samsung.
Cheers!
Can't flash an su method if you can write to the boot partition (twrp)
Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk
So no way possible to root then? My V20 is running H91810k and I have been looking for a way to root it but moments ago it turn off by it self on 13% and the update for 10p was in schedule....
Guess Im out of luck if when it turn on update itself.
@joesee You were on stock 10p? If so, how did you flash TWRP so that you could flash SuperSU? fastboot flash recovery does not work with 10p.

Don't know where you get your information from, but a qfuse will never be triggered with oem unlock on. and all it is is a warranty bit. just states that your warranty is void to the manufacturer.
They do have an anti-rollback counter but that is something totally different than a qfuse.

He probably rooted with original build out of the box firmware and installed a rooted 10p via twrp
Has an ARB system ever been rooted?
I'm new to LG anti roll back.
We have a quasi-root with 10P, if starting from 10J.

They only upped the ARB number because DirtyCow was fixed. Likely wont up it again until the next root is patched.
Doubt there is a way to mess with KDZ's to be able to make them flash. someone would have done it already.

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,
First off, thank you for clicking on this post. I'm new on XDA and rooting LG phones. However, I've searched help on posts and other sites on how to root LG V20 H19810k (T-Mobile Variant) and many told me to downgrade first and then root. But none exactly gave any instruction or step by step on how to do it.
My worries are these ARB (Anti-Roll Back) software updates and if you were to downgrade, you will brick your phones and things like that, it's LG (I mean like there are a lot of complains about hardware faulty after phone updates and lawsuits about it), and different steps on each variants. I bought this phone like 2 or 3 months ago, and my thought on this phone's software is sucks so bad. It's so bad, I've had many problems like my mobile data often times stopped working (no network) even though signal is full bar, my live pixel background suddenly gone after playing this specific game, serious low fps in some games, RAM is full all the time, and many more. The phone itself has amazing hardware and specs, but damn why is the software so bad?
Right, so all my problems aside, I think switching ROM or downgrade probably a good idea and rooting for removing bloatwares. But many had problems installing twrp recovery to root and risks like bricking and bootlooping. And in this post, I'm hoping for help to downgrade and root H91810k.

Search this forum there's numerous threads on how to root
Sent from my LG-H910 using XDA Labs
Downgrade to 10j and use DirtySanta, or use lafsploit.
IMHO they are about equally difficult. In the lafsploit thread, I state that you have to be on 10p or 10q, but I will update the post stating that you need to be on 10q or LOWER.
DirtySanta doesn't require you to use FWUL, so it does have that advantage.
Bottom line though, you can't stay on ARB 0 firmware and use any of the current ROMs -- they all require 10p or higher firmware.

Thank you for the reply,
Seems I got it a little bit. So what I've been looking at this dirtythis and that unlock stuff for quite a while. I've been wondering if anyone asked about H918. I just realized that this dirtysanta bootloader is an exploit for other variants that don't support unlocking via fastboot.
So then I proceed to unlock my device and it successfully unlocked. (Follow this post to unlock).
I will try downgrading my device via lgup and will follow this post to flash and root.

Be careful about your rolling back to root, check your current software version and and if you're arb 1 you'll brick. If you're arb look up the laf exploit thread
Sent from my LG-H910 using XDA Labs
He said he is on 10k, so he is safe to rollback to 10j which can use recowvery.
@ignoll Whatever you do, DO NOT flash the engineering aboot, or you will brick your phone. Follow the procedure in the post you linked, and you will be fine. DirtyCow gets you a temp root shell that will allow you to dd TWRP onto the recovery partition. If you get an error when you do run-as con, then you are NOT on 10j or lower. If you try to downgrade and you get an error about ARB, then you are NOT on 10k.
Just keep all that in mind and you will be fine.

Thank you for the reply,
Just to make sure, 10k is the software version which you can find in the software info inside the settings app, right? This software info will show stuff about "Android version", and down on the list, there's the "Software version" and below it is the 10k coming from (H918xxx). Or, check it via svc menu and version info through the dialer app. All that is to check whether I'm in the correct version or not, yes? (Sorry for this silly question, I just want to make sure. I'm really new to this)
And yes, I won't flash this engineering aboot, just follow the instruction and I'll be good. But just to make sure again, there's no this "engineering aboot" thing in the post that will brick my device, yes?
That said, I really appreciate for your warning and advice.

I have two galaxy S8's. One is sprint, one is Verizon. Both are legal. I have read and been fed so much crap , I am told there isnt a way to root g950usqs3CRE2.. I have two that started with different build numbers and have ended up the same . Last patch, May 1st, OUCH!! Oneclickroot says that I cant get root because of lvl 3bootloader, other xda guys saying you dont need an unlocked bootloader. Anybody want to help? Im doubting peoples abilities a little bit with what I'm reading. Hope not. I got one of these rooted and unbricked already. Lets see who really knows. I will follow you graciously. Lmk. Please!!! Jeff
Here's a definitive answer: We don't have root for bootloader rev. 3, so just sit tight for the next few weeks or months.
Also, the only way for us to get root is through engineering files, because the bootloader is rock solid. So we've been getting root without an unlocked bootloader. Pretty impressive, right?
