If you look in the first page under the guides forum you'll see that the only variants that you can unlock the bootloader and root are the EU H870 and the USA US997. So no you can't root the sprint variant.

Yes but just need a dev

I recently picked up a V20 from a friend of mine, but I want to update the firmware. I have the unlocked US996 version, but it is a prototype stuck on likely the last build before the phone was launched (Sept 2016 is the security patch). I've tried to check for firmware on RootJunky and the ESN doesn't show up at all. My friend was having issues with he phone getting detected when the tried to update it as well.
So should I leave it as is? Phone seemingly runs fine, but wide angle is really grainy in low light and I'm wondering if the newer software addresses that. Just wanted to hear some thoughts.

You have debug software mostlikely. Thats what we used to gain root on most of the v20s. You can get off of it by flashing a us996 KDZ

I was able to get off the pre production software. What's the most current version for us 996 unlocked? What I'm on now has the December patch.

Why did you post this twice?
Same answer.

I need help with unlocking my bootloader, I tried adb reboot bootloader and then the phone just restarts? any idea?
my software version in android says, LS997ZVD Would be great to have it rooted
Thanks!

Everybody is looking for a way.. Your best bet is research and waiting.. I'm looking at older methods and also the g6 method.

AFAIK, there's no roor exploit available for lg v20 oreo yet. You can try flashing alpha omega rom oreo. VS995 is one of their supported devices.

First you'll need to downgrade, root via dirty santa, then flash the patched oreo rom or alpha rom version
