Thanks.

Magisk requires an unlocked bootloader of which the u.s. snapdragon models do not have. Your straight answer is no it does not.

I am unable to boot into bootloader on ATT model :/
Lol as expected from Sprint and AT&T. Dont get me wrong, i wish they had bootloader unlocked because the more bootloaders unlocked for different carriers, the more chances to duplicate the amount of developments/roma/mosa/kernels etc.... Now, having only Tmobile as the only one with unlocked bootloader, well, devs who use carrier such as AT&T and Sprint might get further away from developments on LG V20. (I'm a LG V20 Tmobile variant owner)
im not to familiar with LG, but the correct way is to power off the device, hold volume down, insert USB cable?
one would think even if locked, it could still enter the bootloader. adb works, and when i reboot recovery, i get to recovery, but when selecting reboot bootloader, the device starts. interestingly enough, it will enter in adb sideload mode
With Google obviously not wanting unlocked handsets or rooted handsets to be common... This kind of thing is going to be the norm. Best to adapt, in the long term. The days of modding are being ended by Google

I would agree if not for the fact that the pixel phones can be unlocked

For the time being. As SafetyNet gets more common, Google will quit making them unlockable.
Granted i preordered my v20 expecting to run it unrooted stock.

Well, it's really only sprint, at&t, and more than likely Verizon. Fastboot mode doesn't even exist on the phone through the production software. T-Mobile is completely unlockable...

So this means no recovery for sprint variants, but is there still a possibility of systemless root using the LG up or bridge programs?

According to twitter there is a root being worked on by chainfire unsure of whether or not it will be for all variants or just unlocked bootloaders

T-Mobile is rooted because of bootloader unlock v.v not the other variants.

He said it was based on jcadduono's work and if jcadduono has a thread on here about getting root shell to push recovery on the TMobile variant after unlocking the bootloader.
time to return it!
Just a thought. A method over use getting around big red in the past . I purchased unlock able version of the the phone I wanted the note 5 . Umocked it rooted it . Then got my carriers Sim card and called to get it activated. It can be a pain but it can be done

I thought since we had the "enable OEM unlock" option like T-Mobile we would be good to go.. smh
Thank you

I got mine from B&H. Let me know if you need a tester.
Terrible. I wanted to buy the unlocked model but if no root ever available then i don't want it.
Hello.
I can't seem to find the info, has the Canadian G6 been unlocked? Also are the US roms compatible with the H873? I'm considering getting one but want to be able to run custom roms.
Thanks!

You could try a "package disabler" type application on the Google play store, never used one myself but it says it disables bloatware without root.
I know... not exactly what you asked for but somewhat useful.
Kind regards.
I've seen some mixed things about this, and would like some confirmation
I've seen some people say they've gotten it on the Tmobile version, but from what I can see, unless I have the Chinese model, I can't get TWRP, maybe they were using the Exynos version on tmobile, but they identified by tmobile
So is it possible to get xposed on snapdragon US unlocked?

I am in the exact same situation. I have a rooted, unlocked snapdragon S8 and get the message that the xposed framework is not yet available on my device when I try to install from within the app.

I have the sm-g955u variant. Where did you find instructions to unlock the bootloader of this phone? Everything I am reading says that it is not unlockable and I need the chinese variant. Do you have TWRP installed on it?
