I did not take that as a "tapping my feet waiting impatiently" comment. More like we're

Tone may have been lost in translation, but quit being so sensitive or the Internet will scare you to death.
Having come from the Note 4/Edge where that is the norm and people expecting to have an exploit from day 1 makes you see that a bit differently. No offense intended if it was meant to be more of a "stranded on a deserted island hoping for a savior" comment.

I pledge $50 to root and $50 for TWRP. I am very grateful to the devs who have secured our tech freedom over the years. Love this phone and it is worth the patience.

My bad didnt see that you were defending the comments.


The time sensitive pledges were suggested against at my request.

with the major developments on root for the t-mobile H830 [Recovery][H830][Hopefully Soon] Team Win Recovery Project for the LG G5

Will we ever likely see root for the H860 (which is not locked to any carrier)?

For the Sprint variant we can't boot into fastboot mode, do you think you can find a way to sign TWRP as an LG package?
