You can't root due to arb

You can however have temp root via this method... https://forum.xda-developers.com/v2...perf-root-shell-lg-v20-variants-t3990145/amp/
The provided zip should have needed files
DO NOT TRY TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER OR FASTBOOT FLASH TWRP, MAGISK IS ALSO A NO GO. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
This is a TEMP ROOT

Hello, with this method, it may be superuser on devices with MM and locked bootloader?

MM Root it's not possible in any way locked bootloader devices. only way unlocked bootloader and custom kernel. Stock kernel root impossible.

Thanks for the reply.
It is knowing that commands operating in MM, thought he could do the same in LP, have root eventhough have locked bootloader, all for ADB commands.
"I die" wait to unlock my bootloader; but my model is not unlockable officially. H815P
I understand the language. It is indeed instruction to get root on MM with locked bootloader. Only tested on f500 and OP is the only 1 with success so far. Lets wait and see if more will come up
Edit: this is NOT root for locked bl on MM. OP just made it clear to me on the other site

No. Currently and for the forseeable future it is NOT possible to root Marshmallow with a locked bootloader.

Do you want me to quote all three posts again?
Root on Marshmallow requires a modified kernel. You cannot boot a modified kernel with a locked bootloader.
I don't know about other models, but H811 allows you to unlock the bootloader and root on Marshmallow, but it's not via supersu injection.
Well months have been passed. Any news about to root H815P? I still have my Bootloader locked and LG's site says that my model cant be unlocked. Any idea?
Guys. This is for sending files to the phone kinda like adb. Not root. It more like for executing files that are already on the phone.
IN No WAY IS THIS A ROOT METHOD
YOU CANNOT ROOT MM WITH A LOCKED BL. ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN ANYTIME SOON

Rooting MM with Superuser ... is not possible with locked bootloaders as Chainfire's method requires modification of the boot partition and that equates to a brick with bootloaders that are not officially unlocked through LG.
Downgrade to LP, root and install steadfasterX's TWRP-in-FisH @ https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/locked-twrpinfish-locked-g4-devices-t3573048 if you want a working custom recovery version that will work on LG G4's with locked bootloaders. Version 3 Beta 4 & 5 are very stable - download links are in later posts on his site.
He is working on porting EFIdroid in FisH, that if successful will eventually allow one to boot custom roms, i.e., you may be able to have your rooted MM with a locked bootloader at some point ... just not yet.

If on MM you will first have to downgrade to LP with LGUP-NEW at https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803 if you are able to. You will have to search for an H815P10 stock rom. Then see if you can find a pre-rooted image of that rom. You can follow this guide to obtain root or install a pre-rooted image if you are able to find one: Root ANY LG G4 Variant 100% Success Directives | Root Injection | Less Bricks at https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586.
If you want a custom recovery for your locked bootloader, check this out by steadfasterX: [LOCKED][G4][TWRP][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP-in-FIsH for all locked G4 devices at https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/locked-twrpinfish-locked-g4-devices-t3573048
You will not be able to install a custom rom, however, but steadfasterX is working on EFIdroid-inFisH that, if successful, will eventually allow the installation of a custom rom on a locked bootloader.
Hope it helps.

hey guys,
Hope I am not too late, I found a way around this.
What I did was downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop.
I did it by using the LGUP program and following this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/fix-unbricking-lg-g4-h818p-stuck-t3707485
In short what I did was:
1. Download the kdz
2. Download LGUP and install it, then the dll thing that comes in the archive.
3. Install LG drivers
4. Put device in download mode by pressing up and inserting a usb cable when device is powered off
5. start LGUP and select "Refurbish"
6. in the path select the kdz (even though its looking for tot files).
7. Flash Lollipop and boot
8. Go back to download mode, now you have Send_Command.exe
Then I flashed "H815L 10F.kdz" which gave me stock Lollipop on 815L. I am not sure where I got it, It was sitting on my disk. But basically anything which has H815L (for the model), and 10 which means its Lollipop should work.
Then I could go in to download mode and run Send_Command.exe

NOTE: All LG G4's (with the exception of H818), can be unlocked unofficially now with steadfasterX's: [UNLOCK][UNOFFICIAL][G4] Unlock **ANY** LG G4 device with UsU, provided you are on stock Marshmallow and your ARB is less than or equal to 2.
I.E., you can now install a custom TWRP recovery, root and upgrade to Nougat, Oreo etc.

Root vs99514b

Is there a root for the vs99514b? If so, please include link. Thanks in advance.
Also interested. Specifically for Verizon.
Its been months since I rooted mine, but does the Dirty Santa Root and Bootloader Unlock not work for you? Thats what I used! Its found under the ROMs section.

Pretty sure it works, but requires a KDZ downgrade if anything newer than Dec 2016 has been installed via OTA updates.
We both have to downgrade to v12a or 13a and flash using LG Uppercut:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/uppercut-lgup-loader-g5-variants-t3511295
After the KDZ is flashed we can then use the instructions here to root:

Can 17A be downgraded to 13A ?

Please correct me if I am wrong but I think this might be misleading for someone new. In order to get to a rooted Oreo, you will need to follow the dirty santa method, of getting a rooted phone with TWRP, and then you can use TWRP to flash the stock rooted firmware mentioned in the post above. (I could be completely wrong as I have not done any rooting yet on my VS995 yet but I have tried to follow the proper methods. I keep hoping developers will come up with a way to root oreo, without having to go backwards).

LG v20 (Verizon Help)

So I just bought a verizon LG v20 which has 8.0.0 on it. Simple question. Can I still downgrade using upercut and LGUP and then use dirty santa. I found the correct Firmware on lg-drivers and have it all ready and set. Some posts are saying that you can some people say you can't downgrade. I am just trying to figure out which is right. YES I searched multiple posts...
1. Can I downgrade when the phone arrives?
2. Can I still use dirty santa when I downgrade?
3. Why do some say patched and some say not? Is that because some models firmware are non-downgradeable?

Yes you can downgrade, probably only need to use the regular LG up, downgrade to a security patch prior to Dec 2016, follow the dirty santa instructions, flash updated twrp, within twrp standard wipe, format data, flash rom, flash magisk

Its that easy?
Yes. But I'll suggest before hand updating to the firmware version of your choice, and dumping it with LGUP (same tool you use to flash firmware packages). There's a lack of flashable stock ROMs for the v20 variants, so you'll be stuck on an ancient firmware version after rooting. Once you've flashed the DirtySanta engineering bootloader, you can flash back part of the dump (minus aboot and recovery), allowing you to keep TWRP/Engineering Bootloader while still having the system version of your choice.

Yea, but those updated stock custom build also pack a bunch of other crap you may or may not want. Its much better to start from fresh, do your own debloating, then pick and choose what you want. There's also the side benefit of not having to deal with AFH's godawful download speed. The VS995 has stock KDZ so restoring from stock isn't a big problem, but having your own dump on hand let you get back to the latest (or close to latest) system update and skip 2-3gb of OTAs

I just want a rom like Lineage OS or something that allows custom sets for my device. I am getting confused? just flash this rom with lg up, then use dirty santa, then install the rom correct? I haven't rooted since my nexus 6p since vzw locks the pixel and pixel 2 xl bootloaders -_- ... attached a screenshot of the rom.. its got 3k downloads and is marked 2016-12-24 3691(downloads) SO I assume I flash this first. then do the dirtsanta exploit? My last question is how do I install roms with these newer devices? Do I format everything(I got an sd card) and just keep the sd card clean? Would love some info!
Heres the link to the screenshot I tried adding. https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-vs995-firmwares/#tab=firmwares

You have to install Magisk/SuperSu to keep TWRP, otherwise the system will replace it with stock recovery everytime it boots. If you already have the Engineering Bootloader installed by following DirtySanta up to Step 3, just reboot into fastboot (hold volume down while phone is off, plug cable) and reflash TWRP with fastboot.

Sprint Moto E4 XT1766 rootable?

I have a Sprint Moto E4 XT1766 on stock firmware build NCQS26.69.64-21 and patch for 2019. The phone is network locked
I'm getting conflicting information on whether I can root it or install custom ROMS
Is it possible to install TWRP and Lineage on it?
