Is root available for the V60 ThinQ yet? I've searched but can't find much info.

[Alibaba0101]

The v40 is fully bootloader unlockable with root if you are using an ocotoplus box. There are a few folks on telegram that will do it remotely. This requires that they typically connect to their own private network via vpn and remapping their usb devices to make them accessible on your computer.

A version of the v60 just had their bootloader unlock made available:

Still trying to track down the supported frequencies for LMV600EA though. And so far it doesn't look like there is an unlocked rom version that can flashed to enable the bands that i would need for at&t.

Does the info on this site work?

I would love to know if this phone would work with T-Mobile.

Thanks, but as suspected. Based on the specs from the site above, it does not support tmobile B71 or att B29, B30 specific bands. Will it work, most likely. Will it work well and not drop calls? Doubtful.

Guys, you'll never get root for at least a year other than the European model, which is practically non existent on eBay and such sites. The octopus box needs the firehose, and that will take over a year to leak most likely. It hasn't even been leaked for the v50 or g8. The t mobile version also won't be root able ever with the firehose due to hardware differences. If you want root, the best choice is to go with a g8 or v50

Does really LG made their device so locked?
Was thinking about the Velvet, but there are few apps which needs root and MAGISK modules I use, one or two of the apps I even HAVE to use coz of work
No root means that I'll need 2nd device, so why bother?

Ohh, Lg! Why You become so shi**y?
And they probably still doesn't get why they devices sell so bad even if they are no worse than what others have...

So was the T-Mobile bro rootable? And if it was it took a year for to become readable so basically if somebody wants to root the V60 to tie two people a year before that would be able to happen? Thanks In advance for your time.

Since february no need anymore for someone to remote with an octoplus box... we got the firehose, you can do everything yourself with qfil, the guide is on xda too

Yeah, i was reading through those. May need to look into that to get cTsProfile working for use with Google Play. I had both of my LG v40's done through telegram and they won't pass SafetyNet.

Its very unlikely that you ever will pass safetynet again... see googles recent changes

Thanks for saving me from going down that rabbit hole

Also, being locked out of certain parts of a pocket computer "for my own good/safety/security" just doesn't sit well with me.

I'm completely with you (as are most on this forum). Who would buy a car that has a lock on the engine hood? Or a house where you aren't allowed to replace the lamps? So, why would I buy a phone that prohibits me from rooting?

This type talk reminds me of reminds me of guys who think driving stick is something that is so impressive. Root access is like getting free medicare to some lol. Gaining root access just sounds cool and some of the features are so overrated. You pay a grand for a phone but it's not like you would go to the moon with root access.

I did my fair share of rooting since early 2010. Not much changes day to day with my rooted phone or my non rooted phone.

I'm not a guy, and I don't drive manual transmission . But I like the right to modify what is mine.

There are many reasons to root – performance, features, privacy, or just interest. Of course, not everyone will root (just like most people won't modify their cars).

But I should have to right to do so, if I want.

Hear hear so true! it ain't yours if you feel in any way negative about taking it apart or modifying it.... its ok if people are not interested in risking damaging their own phones but a real shame that some people are so scared they want to deter others as well.

Crazy that the tmobile version shows me a oem unlock and so clicked it now says all fake device protection features are off lol. So its rooted uo now!.? Or was this a cruel prank on use little people?

O have no idea if the OEM unlock button is working, bit either way your device isn't rooted. That's not what OEM unlock does.

Oh yeah sorry I meant to say, bootloader is unlocked now not root'd now?

Download a root checker app and find out. The lack of root is why I got the Samsung S8+ last time around instead of the LG V30.

I'm definitely not rooted, I think you quoted the wrong post

 

[leptdre]

Is it possible to ask kindly LG to provide us a way to unlock the bootloader of the phone ?? Samsung has it by design. I remember in the LG G4 era, LG was providing bootloader unlock service to all the variants if I am not mistaken
