Attachment 4059204 [/SIZE][/B][/CENTER]
Your CID Number will be the first two numbers in the eMMC Box under CID
15=Bootloader That Can Be Unlocked And Custom TWRP Recovery Can Be Installed
11=Bootloader that CANNOT Be Unlocked. You can only have root through Lollipop 5.0 with SafeStrap Recovery or FlashFire. You can use Marshmallow ROMs but only non-rooted one, preferably with the use of SafeStrap. This Will Allow Easy downgrade to Lollipop to reroot and flashing of certain modified Marshmallow ROMs and mod zips

As in title... Cause in case of my old HTC One V unlocked bootloader was needed to obtain root
yes.
unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, flash either the su binaries or a custom rom, then reboot. thats all thats needed for root.
Wanted to give this away to a friend in Europe, root the phone unlock it and put a custom rom.
Tried KingoRoot it finished with 100% says "rooted"
Kingroot always fails no matter what.
Does anyone have any tips on how to get it to work please?

Try kingoroot pc version works 100% with 5.1.1 n910v
But remember this will give you only temporary root
Once you reboot device the root will be gone
Bootloader is locked in n910v
There is a method you can get permanent root in verizon note 4 thread to unlock bootloader via adb method
If you unlock bootloader after that you can install twrp recovery and flash custom roms
Don't ever try cf auto root it won't work and it may brick your device.

I was able to root once and run the script and it changed the CID or whatever it was. Now I simply cannot get temp root at all to finish the bootloader unlock process. Tried PC version and Android version so many times now it just reboots and reboots.

You must flash any rom once you unlocked bootloader cuz unlocking will mess up your system so you cannot boot into system anymore.
Flash 5.1.1 stock firmware and start unlocking bootloader process from beginning
Hey, so I am pretty new to rooting just wanting to optimize my phone a little, I rooted my LG G6 H870 through LG's official website, but SuperSU doesn't seem to recognize my root I have checked with fastboot getvar unlocked and I am supposed to have root, what's the problem?
Through LG's official website you can only unlock the bootloader, which give you the option to install a custom ROM or install a custom recovery and root your phone. Check the official thread in the guide news and discussion of Lg G6 and check the unlock bootloader thread.
Hi guys, I have a LG G6 H870i (Brazilian version, but no carrier), and I've done everything to officially unlock the bootloader, but when I try to do that method on the LG website, it always says that the my device version is not available to receive bootloader unlock key.
My goal in unlocking the bootloader is to install root (I couldn't without unlocking despite having tried in several ways, including kingoroot) and also custom recovery TWRP (or any other), so that with them I can reach my purpose of installing a Custom Rom such as Lineage OS.
So, is there any way to unlock bootloader other than through LG's website?
If not, is there any way to install root even with the bootloader locked?
And finally, if none of these procedures are possible, is there any way to install twrp or any other custom recovery without needing either an unlocked bootloader or root?
Thank you for your attention.
The answer to all your questions is NO.
No, you cannot bypass the bootloader lock.
No, you'll need to exploit the android which isn't safe and may cause issues other than security. And since you probably have Android 9 it will take while to find a working exploit for it.
Obviously not, you can only "flash" if you have unlocked bootloader.
I have a Magisk-rooted LG V35 running some uncertified custom ROM installed by former owner. I'm wondering if it is possible to flash an official stock ROM on the phone without losing root? My goal is maximum compatibility with standard functions (e.g. VoLTE, Google/Firebase Cloud Messaging, etc.) with root.
as long as you dont lock the bootloader, you can flash the stock firmware and then root the phone
even if you lock the bootloader, you can unlock it, but it's a bit harder
