Rooting

My phone won't root. I don't understand.
Sent from my Star-Tac
No news on that front, especially since BlackBerry are very keen on keeping rooting from happening.
This might explain things: http://blogs.blackberry.com/2016/02/how-and-why-the-priv-protects-against-rooting/
As far as I understand, it is still impossible to root Priv. Sorry.
If you really need too root, flash a rom

How are you going to flash a ROM without root?
Curious to see if the Quadrooter flaw will be able to get us root on the PRIV. It apparently works on the DTEK50, so it would be nice if we could get root on the PRIV too.
EDIT: Priv is vulnerable to this...

You can get TWRP without root. Its hard, but I'm pretty sure it's possible

There is no way to get a Custom Recovery on the PRIV. That's why we're waiting to see what comes out of the Quadrooter vulnerabilities.

Sorry, I thought it was easy to unlock the bootloader

Easiest way to achieve root?

I know this is a relatively new phone but are there any sort of tools to automatically root the device for you? If not, what's the best, most up to date guide on doing it yourself. Just bought the phone and want to get it rooted.

What's the difference between this and the Super SU method? I mainly just want root for the tethering so will this method give me that?

It will give you root but not tethering. If you need tethering.. not sure yet. On other phones all it took was freezing the right app but I'm not as familiar with moto as other brands.
I haven't rooted my phone yet or even unlocked it. I'm just hanging out until i feel things are "fairly safe". After that I'll be doing what you are.. other than the one thing the phone is perfection.

Root available

This is probably a stupid question, but searching has led me to conflicting information.
I'm looking to get a new phone, and right now I want the LG G6. I would like to have root access though.
I'm seeing a bunch of threads about no root being available, and we shouldn't hold our breath on getting it. But I'm also seeing that it's supposedly compatible with KingRoot and One Click Root?
I don't really care about custom firmware or anything, I just want to be able to get root access. I'm in Canada, getting it from Bell, but I don't know the exact model number or anything. Can anyone confirm either way?

Only the US997 and the European H870 (sim free) can unlock the bootloader and then obtain root access, other models atm can't
Also Kingoroot and One Click Root don't work, obviously

Need help rooting an LG V20 h91810s?

So I am interested in rooting my LG V20 h91810s. From what I gather I have to roll it back to 10j or i. I have the bootloader unlocked already. But I'm not sure about the rollback. Will a factory reset take it back to 10j or 10i? If not, I haven't been able to find step by step instructions on doing this. I think once I can get it rolled back I should be able to follow https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/instruction-to-root-h918-10i-t3536472 in order to root it. Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
No can do..... You will make your phone into a paper weight.
So there is no way to root it? I need to root it in order to recover some very important texts. If it can't be rooted does anyone know how I could recover a deleted sms thread?
Thread title changed on OP's request
Thank you very much.
As of right now anything 10p or higher is ARB01. Which means you can't roll back to root. Trying will create a brick. There are people working hard to make it happen but until then it's a waiting game. As for the recovery of SMS hopefully someone can help you. Chances are if you've searched and searched for an answer with no luck, it'll be hard to get that answer here. But you never know. Good luck.
Ah, that sucks. Well tyvm anyway.
We are both on the same boat unfortunately, we'll have to wait patiently.....
Me too waiting to root my h91810s.... hopefully someone will find a method soon.....
Sucks! But I like this phone. It'll be a shame to switch. ?
might be a dumb question but has any of you guys tried kingroot?

Yeah no reason for you to try... Cause of it works we would be rooted Samsung style using flashify instead of twrp.

No I remember I used it to root get the used flashify to flash TWRP.img then flashed magisk and removed kingroot after. If someone with a unlocked boot loader could try it because they had many requests for root

Care to interpret what exactly they did to root? Where to get files and how to? Maybe this can be changed to English format.....
Just wondering if there's a progress thread for the h91810s exploit. I just received mine and it's on the same firmware.

One Click Root - G930PVPU6BRD2?

Found this in my recent searches and exploring. Has anyone tried it? Last I understood they were a pretty great source for root access. Even featured here I believe.
Let me know if anyone tries it. Thanks!

Not sure this will work. This method was mentioned a while back and didn't work, unless they know about a loop hope no one else has discovered. Our s7 requires the engboot to gain root access. I'm not on this firmware, but I'd be curious. I would just have a b6 firmware ready for Odin before trying.

I'm successfully rooted on the U firmware and will not be flashing anything anytime soon lol. Or else I would try it.
But one click root usually works by taking advantage of exploits already in the code. For instance, say the there's a system app that executes something as root in the /data directory, they take advantage of that and have that executable do something like install root. Very poor example but it's basically the gist of it.
I wouldn't be surprised if it worked. I really hope someone tries it!
