Alright I created a bounty. Head over to the V50 forums and we'll see if other start donating.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v50-thinq/how-to/bounty-to-root-install-twrp-t3965545
I can confirm this as I saw his moment about the rooted V50. Teardown is required to root V50 and he can change the RAM to 12G and the storage to 1TB, quite crazy!
His main purpose is to sell rooted and modified LG devices.
First off, where is the proof?
Secondly, there is no TMobile version of the V50.
Either post pictures to backup your statement or link a website or something!
Anyone of you have WECHAT APP installed? Let me introduced him to you all on wechat

You are right, No T Version LG V50.
He can root T-mobile G8 , and South Korea LG V50 now. I will post pictures later

Did you achieve this by opening the phone and tampered with it? If not can you provide the steps? Are you able to do the V50 (LMV500N) ?
I am on wechat and talk to the Guy in shenzhen,China, he rooted the LG G8 from T-mobile and South Korea LG V50.
He also modified a LG V50 with 12gb of RAM.
No need to open the phone, He said he can root your phone remotely through some software.
Do you have a wechat app on your phone?
I have WeChat ( ID is: KanBorges ) but doing it remotely is risky. Why not just give us the steps to root it?
He is selling rooted second hand LG devices in China.
It is not a FREE service,
He did not share any guides because that is his business

They could always make it an app like #sunshine.Easy. One guy buys the directions, puts them on a forum, boom done.
We could collect a big amount of money and ask him to make it available publicy but that won't work because a) we probably cant get that much money b) he would give away the method for coming phones too, I suppose
But your phones still must be there which is not so convenient and safe for non-Chinese users.

Dude none of us want to send our phone to some guy in China we are just discussing how he does it as it is most definitely real. The answer is he mods the soc to work with xiaomi firehose and nullifies laf. We've just been doing some research because we're keen on root, and you don't have to participate if you don't want toAre you the OP? The guy who started this is who I am talking about. This is an absolutely ludicrous idea. Send my phone to some guy in China with no proof? Even if he does root it who's to say it hasn't been modified in some malicious way? You say I have no idea what I'm talking about? This whole endeavour is sketchy as heck and you've done nothing to convince me otherwise.
Please report back when/if you receive the phone.Someone in China make all G8, G8s, V50 rooted yesterday, without breaking the phone. Sorry for I don't know how it works.
The guy is the moderator of a forum in China, which is about LG phones since years ago. In the past he always help to unlock, root and make ROMs for LG phones, but now this guy count on this to make money and just sell phones he polished, refusing to tell how.
Anyway, I'm going to buy his phone now, G8 is quite a good phone, I really hope a guide to root can be made soon.
