New V20

[slayerh4x]

Hello,

I just got my T-Mobile LG V20 from UPS. I am about to start installing all my stuff, but I was wondering if I should unlock the boot loader first. I read somewhere that it wipes the device when you do it, so shouldn't I do it now so I don't have to reinstall everything later? If the root method is baked into a ROM ill have to wipe anyway I guess.

I wouldn't unlock the bootloader. Not yet, anyway. There's a poster here that's hard bricked his phone.

You'll likely be doing a factory reset when you root anyway. Load it up.

Okay thanks.

Do you know if there is a package disabler for LG. Like the Package Disabler Pro for Samsung?

There's a thread discussing that very topic here in the LG V20 Section.
