LG G5 Root & Recovery Bounty Thread! [Currently $4,875] [T-Mobile DONE! Who's Next?!]

[jcase]

ahahahah.


You really hate Bountys . Man.

That kind of thing is asking to be scammed and is not allowed.

I don't hate bounties, i hate that there is no right way to run one, always resulting in someone getting screwed.

A good idea...

Seems like an opportunity for a gofundme like site. I'm thinking "XDARootEscrow.com" or something... Any reason we can't use an existing one to accomplish the same thing?

Please read my previous comments.

(No sarcasm, honest question) what process would you suggest? I figure you probably have a better idea from being on both sides of bounties.

Pledging as we use now is the safest, the developers (like me) get the shaft in it, but the community's money is safe in that situation.

$30.00 for us tmobile variant. Come to think about it will codefire take the bounty if they release their root method? @autoprime I would definitely be okay with that

Lucky... I feel like I made a terrible choice. I have never had an UN rooted phone for over a day, much less a month. All of my titanium backups are unusable. Kinda wish I never would have left HTC.

Have you tired using Helium backup? I got all of my important data transferred over no problem to my AT&T G5.

You mean 831

Yeah, oops

Kind of surprising how your poll doesn't include the international version of the G5 instead of "other". In the UK we don't have to suffer like American's do with their network branded phones lol.

It has been updated as per your request (thanks to @matt4321 :good: )

Still waiting for a method to root the international LG G5 without having to unlock the bootloader.

Doesn't Google's DM-verity make that a non-starter?

Sorry buddy, I don't follow what you're explaining. Any chance you could ELI5 it? If you are mentioning that it couldn't be possible, it certainly was possible to root the LG G4 (and many other phones) without unlocking the bootloader.
