How do I root Android 10 G710EMW?

[rash.m2k]

HI All,

I've got my G710EMW on EU firmware (G710EM30b_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0707.kdz), all looks good but not sure how to root it. I'm not sure how but by flashing a different firmware my bootloader is now unlocked - says unlocked in Developer Tools, so I don't need to do that.

I don't want to mess it up can someone tell me which files I need to root this phone?

Search in the guides or ROMs section. Someone might have put patched boot image for 30b.
To do yourself, you need to extract boot_a and boot_b using qfil, rename to .IMG, put it in your phone, install magisk manager and patch the boot images. Then put patched images in your PC and flash using fastboot. Check ROMs section to know how to do that.
This method always works for me.

After much googling I have managed to do this! And rooted my phone, my question is do I need to flash both boot_a and boot_b? Or just one, at the moment I have flashed only boot_a and I have root

I followed this guide and downloaded everything I need from there:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/howto-unlock-bootloader-root-g7s-t-mo-t4077105

The biggest issue I had was getting the partition manager to work in QFIL, it kept failing with sahara error - but just keep trying, put the phone back into 9008 mode (hold vol Up and vol down and power) and restart the QFIL app, eventually it will work.

Once you have read the image in QFIL, copy it onto you phone and use magisk manager to patch the image and then write the boot images back (both boot a and boot b).

That's pretty much it.

I think you could use 9008

I can't get into EDL

I got into a firmware download page, but the device doesn't show as
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

It says LGE Mobile USB Serial Port
