[Q] TMO D801 4.4.2 Root?

I see one other user posted the same question but the only response didn't understand the question.
Is there a way to downgrade my LG G2 that came with 4.4.2 so that I can root my device? Or, is there an alternate root method since IORoot still isn't supported?
I have a friend who has a Sprint LG G2 and they just pushed out 4.4.2 and he has the same audio sync issue as I have now. Youtube app is fine but games and the netflix app have out of sync audio. I had planned to root as soon as I got the phone but I'd be OK without rooting if I wasn't already having an issue.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I really appreciate it. Hopefully I'll be able to get that going easily.

ROOT LG G6 posts everywhere, real or fake?

I keep seeing post all over the internet saying the same thing. Enable Developer Mode (clicking about multiple times, as always) then fastboot reboot bootloader, then install TWRP and then SuperSU from that.
Is this real or nonsense that is just being spread like wildfire?
I have two LG-G6 I just bought, but dont want to risk a fake root which make hinder getting a true Root later on, nor a more complete root becoming available after installing 400 apps.

If its not on XDA its fake and not to be trusted. Good rule of thumb. Also there is no way of recovering a bricked device this early.

I couldn't agree more with @bamfsig45 there's fake news ESPECIALLY when it comes to phones everywhere. Wait for something to come off XDA.

Yeah, I figured that too. It's just seeing it so much and people swearing by it had me a bit curious. I'll definitely be waiting to see it here first before actually implementing the root though.

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/lg-g6-root-twrp-recovery/ this is the site to look for when the phone launches tomorrow just as good as XDA

I can't vouch for this one on the G6, but kingroot also said this bs with the g5 when it wasn't rooted yet either. They don't have much credibility imo

Kingo root did not work, Kingroot did not work, and a couple of others. I used an AT&T G6.

From what I have read, they are polishing it up and making it work for the general public for the T-Mobile model only. The T-Mobile model allows boot-loader unlock, out of the box.

KingRoot 3.5 doesn't work for me

Kingroot has zero credibility.

LG G6 H870 European model had indeed got root via SuperSU 2.82 and TWRP (unofficially and slightly buggey).

They are indeed using "fastboot flash" command.

Help for H990ds !

Hello,
First, sorry for the bad english
I recently received the LG V20 H990ds and i wanted to root him
I follow this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/dirtysanta-h990-t3624296
But, now the phone doensn't start, he is in bootloop
I put back the backup and now the bootloader is locked and I no longer have TWRP
I tried to flash .kdz with LGUP but the program tell me "unknown model". Also, LG Flash Tool does not work
http://imgur.com/MjBxEEK
How can i flash the .kdz for back to stock ? Please, Help me
Thanks

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.

Need root method for Cricket LG Stylo 3 (LG-M430)

Has anyone successfully rooted this phone yet? LG Stylo 3 LG-M430 from Cricket?
Thanks

I have been trying. The boot loader is locked, like the Z983 Blade XMax. If you find something, let everyone here know please!! I have tried several methods, and explored via adb.. Nothing solid yet.

According to SRSroot's twitter just now they have found a one click method for the Cricket LG-M430.
The .exe file is for download on their wedsite (SRSroot.com) not sure if it works but I will try it as soon I get home.

These guys (SRSroot.com) are crooks, they tell you your phone is rootable via there app, then Then later tell you root isn't possible for your phone. still keeping your $40 bucks!

I think everyone's given up on this one.

Id like to give it a shot. It seems like this phone is a blend between the ph2n(MS550) and sf340n(MP450). I dont have a computer so ill get an OTG cable soon and see what i can do. Ive been using my Stylo 2 Plus with Magisk 18.0 and the ADB /Fastboot module to play with other devices. The beauty is if i do experience a brick my stylo2+ is at least factory unlocked....knock on wood. I would love getting one of these non metro/tmobile variants a new life

In the xda forum the MTK Easy Root method is available. Which gives you root permissions with the limitation that you cannot write to the system only read, that is. You cannot modify any file or delete apps from the system. But we are on the right track, I wonder if this method can advance something.

That's not going to work
the M430 is a Qualcomm soc https://www.gsmarena.com/lg_stylo_3_plus-8694.php

I think I found root for a similar phone with a larger screen at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81269513&postcount=5
I also see someone posted a youtube video about rooting the Stylo 3 (but I don't know whether it was the M430 or LS777) It apparently used a TWRP 3.2.1 for SF340. It was mentioned on getandroidtips.
This is my only working phone and I can't take it out of service yet.

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.
