H831 - Is It Rootable?

[ForgottenSolstace]

Just picked up my Wind Mobile LG G5-Titan. Given Wind is no-contract, I'm assuming it's unlocked. So, the question is, like the H850, would the device be rootable, and if not, are there any plans for LG to release a bootloader unlock?

I am in the position where I can return the device, and do not want to open it unless I can root.

Me too

I really want a root for this phone but I can't find anything saying one will come out for my Canadian phone which is also wind

No root is available for the Canadian G5 at the moment, and there are no plans for LG to provide a method to unlock the bootloader.

Root might be available in the future but there are no guarantees

The T-Mobile H830 has a root and I would assume that by the model designation the firmware is pretty close to our phones. Someone should try the tot root method for T-Mobile on our phones lol.

if anyone tries that they will brick. H830 is not an H831.

We are the ugly stepsister of the Smartphone world

Canadian models are not on anyone's top ten list- so don't hold your breath. Our main hope is that somebody finds a more universal method of "breaking" the ties that bind. Sometimes we get lucky - mostly we are an after thought in this world as the other more widely used models have a greater priority.

If that's the case, this phone will by my temporary "wait and see" upcoming phones. If the successor to the 6P is any good, this phone is gone

Whats the deal with these bounties? does that mean that developers would be interested if enough money is raised?
