I think he already has one
I can get it if you give me instructions.
I have that phone, if you give me instruction on how to get the boot.img, I can sent it to you. Please keep in mine I have only rooted a few phones sucessfully. I have the fully unlocked US997 model. Just let me know if I can help in anyway.
Thanks

I'm thinking of buying the Axon 7, but I'd like to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP and flash CM (when it'll be released). Will I be able to do this with all variants, or will I need a specific one? As a follow up - how do I tell which model number is for a certain variant - for example, the first Axon on Amazon (can't link, it's the gold one for $399.98) is model A7G333, which I haven't seen here on XDA.
If something's not clear, please tell me and I'll clarify (English isn't my first language).
You can do it with all variants unofficially!
Root using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204
Unlock bootloader after using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-stay-t3461165
The USA version should be model A2017U
The EU version should be model A2017G
The China version should be model A2017

That's awesome, thanks so much! Looks like I'll be getting an Axon the moment a stable build of CM is released
Dont forget there are official bootloader unlocks as well if you ask ZTE!

Wow The hype is real! I don't use it as main device, so I can test whatever you want
I'd like to help out, not much experience with qualcomm, but I've worked on omap4 chip LG Optimus 3d.
My first question is why we can't root the phone. I see people talking about the bootloader needs to be unlocked. That i understand, but afaik unlocked bootloader is for custom recovery and kernel. Don't we need root first, because if we gonna unlock the bootloader maybe with a modified aboot, we could do it through terminal emulator if device was already rooted. Thats how it was done with my g2 mini.

there are things available search from web.. unofficial forums of kingoroot where uh can unlock boot loader.... using oem id.... and can root with lg g6 supersu by downstreaming it..!!! i have unlocked boot loader of my LG Q6 m700dsk from there... but stucked at kernal... ive tried patching kernel(upstreaming) but failed am trying to go with custom kernels for full performance of phone for limited time first, then an custom os.:good:
What's wrong with the kernel?
Are you able to get ramdisk from stock boot.img, it would help with filling some things in for the device tree.

we need to patch kernel in order to use for any custom developments unable to patch kernel(upstream)
Maybe there is some answers in the forum of one of these devices https://www.kimovil.com/en/list-smartphones-by-processor/qualcomm-snapdragon-435-msm8940.
These are devices with same specs as lg q6 .

Yo,would it be possible to root with magisk as well? just a thought, not trying to tell you to get magisk on q6. Like, do you think it may be possible to unroot SuperSU and root with magisk later on? Im also very interested in unlocking bootloader and rooting the Q6. Like said above could you post bootloader unlock and root instructions here plz? I think it would be appreciated by some people here
Edit: and since we need to patch the kernel to support custom development, the phone would still be fully functional after bootloader unlock and root? and we can still unlock bootloader and root with the current kernel?
finally after how many years of searching, i also have lg q6 m700dsk bro, can you please pm me the method you did to unlock bootloader?
Any progress bro? I really hope that it's possible to make our device compatible with custom mods and ROMs, actually I hate performance which LgUx is giving
So, has this project already died? If not, where can we follow the progress of the project?

Sir,
i tried all possible ways it did not work, We really we need someone to help us with rooting Samsung A51
Let's see if they can help h**ps://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/2272,
Please send logs to try to find the cause of the problem. Also asked in magisk discussion for solutions because this firmware has 2 different vbmeta imgs one vbmeta_samsung.img and another vbmeta.img.
Adb says it is treble enabled.
A working rooting method for the A51 would be greatly appreciated! I would be more than happy to donate 20 euro to the one who can help me out!
New A515F International unlock vesion just arrived. Waiting for development lol

Hey brat lol a tease is right. Awaiting the process.
Hi everyone, greetings... I'm listening, just bought the international version from indonesia.
So TWRP is coming soon. To root you need to wait for TWRP because there are 2 vbmetas
Vbmeta.img
Vbmeta_samsung.img
Vbmeta.img can be patched to allow magisk to work but Vbmeta_samsung.img cannot. To fix this you need to install a signed TWRP image with special keys. @geiti94 will sign his TWRP image to work with vbmeta_samsung.img
Hope this cleares all of your thoughts. Thank samsung for making this so complicated.

Hello,
Could you guess how long does it take?
Is there a tutorial for us to sign the recovery with custom keys that would work?

A yes or no answer would be very helpful. Is it possible to do without cross flashing VS995 firmware? Thank you.

The us996 can be naturally bl unlocked with lg site I believe. Bl unlocked is best for root. But if you still want your bl to be locked and yet have root, you can try this... https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/3-18-71-perf-root-root-shell-for-lg-v20-variants.3990145/page-5. Download on page 5 at top post. Instructions on first page. Hopefully this helps your desired answer.
There are various other instuctions on page 5 also further down. Hopefully no issues for you.

Good question, unfortunately I don't have the answer. Let's wait and see if someone does. You may want to change your title to include the model number of your phone.

After doing some searching on google I found this link
I can say from experience that dirty santa worked with the US996 US Cellular version I have, once I went back to the orginal rom with LGUP. as mentioned in the link above.
I have succesfully done the dirty santa to change my canadian stock firmware to US996 to allow it to install custom firmwares but i had issues with LineageOS and went back to US996. Now i want to try a more recent of lineageos but without the bootlocker unlocking site i see no way to install TWRP as the system recovery
