odds of root for att V10?

[thegameksk]

Hey all. Currently I have the Note 3. I am looking to upgrade and am strongly considering the LG V10 since its kept the removable battery, sd storage, and very good specs. Do you guys think there will be a root available for it in the near future? Thanks

If you have T-Mobile there already is root

Wouldn't hold your breath for AT&T or VZW

Did they do something to prevent root injection like on the G4?

You might have a long wait.
I was on ATT with the Note 4 and it only has temporary root after more than a year.
You might be better off buying the TMO version and running it on ATT network.

No unlock bootloaders yet?

tmo v10 doesn't have reception for

LTE 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 7 / 12 / 17 / 29 / 30

which i guess is like a workhorse band for at&t.. people with tmo aren't getting good signal of LTE on at&t network which sucks.

From T-Mobile's site it has LTE: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 20

Not saying you don't still get bad LTE with a T-Mobile on ATT but not as many missing bands.

Yeah I wonder if missing the LTE 17 will ruin my LTE reception. I live in Iowa.. and its already struggling for good LTE.

You are wrong ?

 

[kangi26]

You are wrong

I'm afraid to say, no he isn't.

About unlocked bootloader no I'm not. He stated that tmobile is the only one with unlocked bootloader and AT&T doesn't have a locked bootloader as well.

 

[brentsalinas714]

Hmmmm...yeah I hope so it 8s unlocked

If you take a look around and do some research, and not get so fixated on what you think is correct based on what the device is 'showing' you. You might find that things are different than you are assuming.

The AT&T, Verizon variants of the V10, are fully locked down. That "option" is shown on the AT&T but doesn't do anything.

If you read the other threads, you will find this out for yourself

I just bought my AT&T H900 and was looking into rooting to (1) remove unwanted apps and (2) using Titanium Backup (back up apps) and Nandroid Backup (general backup).

As rooting is not currently an option due to bootloader being fully locked down, are there ways for me to remove apps and backup?

You can go into Settings/Apps, and Disable the ones you don't want to run and won't even be visible. I don't recommend uninstalling any (even if you can) this could break OTA updates. You can always re-enable them if you go a little crazy and break something, or want to OTA Update the device

Titanium and Nandroid both require Root, and I believe Nandroid requires an unlocked bootloader. So until the magic happens, you can't use either of those methods of backup.
For me, since there are currently no ROM's to install. I don't have a need to create any backups of my apps that are installed, and the same goes for the need for any Nandroid (even more so)

I believe you can, however do a complete system backup/restore using ADB. There are complications to using ABD, it's not NEAR as easy as booting to CWM and doing a couple clicks/done
You could take a look at an app called Helium. It's for app backup, I don't use it so I can't give any 1st hand experience

Had no idea that uninstalling apps could break OTA updates...that could be the reason why my T999L never had any updates available after Android 4.4.4.

Working currently on installing Android Studio so I'll have ADB then. I'm a novice when it comes to dealing with technology on this level so if you could direct me to somewhere where I can find out (or tell me) how to do an ADB backup that'd be super!

Thanks so much for all the info!!!!! PS: Now I'm second guessing the thought of rooting my Nexus 7 (2013)

Yeah, the OTA update looks for key specific "stock" things, if the device fails to meet them, the update fails. I think a lot of the carrier bloatware is checked

I haven't used ADB in a LONG time so, I wont be any help to you there. Google could though
There are a lot of options out there now that with a little research, provide SOME options, that you can get by without Root. Although they may not be as good as having Root, AdAway is a great example for me at least.
Good luck with ADB and making your system back up
