I'm NOT trying to make duplicate threads if one had already been made, I HAVE searched already for my answer, I am NOT trolling. I am only making this thread/asking because there are multiple different methods to root this phone apparently and none seem to be specific enough for me to feel safe just using it, I've had bad roots before. Now that that's out the way, I have a 6T (A6013) that was originally a T-Mobile branded device but has been unlocked (bootloader and Sim) and converted to the international model and is now running 10.3.0 stable. I would prefer to not lose my data (lots of job related documents and such on my phone) so is there a method I can use for that? If not, what would be the best root option for my specific device?
Also, I don't need TWRP for what I want to do, only rooting so I can have Magisk and get Google Pay working again.

Thank you, found my answer.

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).

Hi,
I cant find nothing about rooting the version of tab 3 pro, featuring 4gb ram and 64gb rom.
I success root this tablet, but its seems dont works very well with some apps that can't be named in this forum, so I think the root is not "full".
I follow the Magisk tutorial to root, basically install drivers, and with fastboot unlock the bootloader. Then flash supersu and Magisk, in this order.
Someboy know more about this model? we can get a full working root?
Thanks!!!

Well I just used magisk. I don't.use lucky patcher but will give it a try later. All.the apps I use have worked without issue.
Maybe worth a mention. I run my tablet unencrypted.

This is the only one that I know of that will root the Nougat version of the S7 Edge. It is a very long thread, and there is a lot of information that can help. I know it works as I tried it on my G935U at one time.

Excellent! I wanted some confirmation from someone with the same phone (unlocked AT&T on N.)
Have you remained rooted since? I'm hearing mixed reports about performance and things stop working.) My primary concern though is our locked bootloaders. If we make changes that cause problems can we undo it? Like flashing the stock firmware? Thanks

Yes, I have remained rooted, but I ended up going back to stock G935A and then rooting again with that procedure. Personally, I was not getting the performance I was used to with the G935U as I was with the G935A with the root procedure.
Yes, there are some things that do not work with these eng.imgs that are being used to root the phones. There is NO Xposed for this one, Samsung Pay does not work, but I have been using Android Pay and it works just fine. As for the Bootloader, it is still LOCKED. There has not been any Unlocked bootloaders for the G935 or G930 so far and I don't think we will see it anytime soon.
As for Undoing, yes. There is a very simple way to go back to stock with Odin. In fact, about once a month, I return to stock just so I can get the latest security patch and then re-root my phone back to this way. I know it is somewhat of a pain, but with Titanium Back up I can get my phone back to running normally in a couple of hours.
Hope this helps...
It's not quite as fast, but if you are backing up and restoring to the same device, you can just use ADB. I still have a TiBu license, and use it on my Tab S2, but I have largely adapted to not having root on my S7 by taking advantage of basic ADB features.

Great info. Thanks!
One followup--when you say Xposed doesn't work, do you mean you tried the newest Nougat version that just got released? Or it never worked, not even on M?

What I meant was Xposed doesn't work on the current version of root using the eng.img. I have not tried using the NEW Xposed that is in THIS thread. I have looked at it but have not had a chance to run the zipped file and installing it. I know it works with MM as I had it working GREAT with MM and the eng.img with that version. I love Xposed and wish that was available for Nougat and N's root. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will be fully implemented soon.

I tried this 4 times and failed. The problem is it just keeps rebooting (about every 45 to 60 seconds) after I flash the eng boot img. Im never able to run adb commands. If I start from a clean slate I can't even make it past the setup screens to enable debugging.
I'm reaching out to you because you succeeded with the same model SM-G935U
So I'm just seeing if you have any insights. My phone should be the same as yours. Only difference is mine came with 7.0 preinstalled. Maybe an earlier firmware? But that doesn't make sense because people are, to my understanding, using the eng boot with recent firmware.
I'll repost in the root thread if I need to but thought I'd see if you have anything to offer. Thanks

I seem to remember the constant rebooting on the U-Firmware also. I too kept trying and it finally took. I think I would take the OTA from the server and try to install the eng.img with Odin. When you do this, does Odin give you any errors? Or does it succeed at the installation?
It has been a few months since I rooted the U-Firmware so not for sure what fixed the rooting process. Sorry I couldn't be more help...

Thanks. No Odin works perfectly whether I flash eng boot or stock.
I looked at the root guide for Sprint and the process is a lot more involved. I believe he boots to recovery twice and wipes cache plus factory reset twice. He also stresses to get the root.bat run quickly to avoid bootloop.
Might be worth a shot but the process of running Odin, getting back to stock and restoring all my data winds up being close to a few hours so It'd be very helpful to find someone with the same issue as me who was able to resolve it.
hey guys im on latest international OOS on my tmobile 6t. how do i lock the bootloader?
i cant use android pay or even netflix or Turo app on my phone since im rooted and unlocked
Use Magisk SafetyPatcher, it will fix all that in a jiffy (And use Magisk Hide feature to hide the root from the apps that objects about the very existence of su binary).
And I don't recommend relocking the bootloader, as it will only make things too painfully hard to fix if it decide to go crazy, especially if your main computer is not running Windows.

Sorry if its too much of a 'newb' question, but I've been reading up on this for days, and I'm still not sure, if there is an exploit for the h81220x (Marshmallow, Fido/Rogers(?)) variation of the LG G4. I've seen messages from 2017 that say "not yet, for this one anyway", so it's all quite confusing. I only want to install a ROM with as late a version of Android as possible (beyond MM). I know the bootloader is hard as nails to crack, and there are alternatives, like "USU", and one wrong move and this thing goes into a permanent bootloop. So is it now doable for a Fido-branded G4 with the H81220X firmware installed, and if so, which would be the best / safest method to go with? Thanks!
