Thank you. I thought as much but wasn't too sure. It is surely disappointing. I got this phone as a gift and now I have no clue what to do with it and I hate it stock, although I do like its performance and everything.

Welcome to the new lg. Told me i shoulda bought a unlockable model if i wanted to root. I knew better once i got the g4. But ive been loyal since the g2. Hopin lg would come to there senses. Its stupid. But lg doesnt even want us to downgrade just because of less security bugs they patch the dont want u to exploit them. Even if upgrades causes issues. They promise to fix in the next update

Man that's really lame. My friend had the G2, G3, and G4 and said they were great phones and he modded them out and it was pretty nice. I;m coming from the google nexus phones which were clean android so this is very weird to me. Do you think we'll ever be able to root this thing? or should I try and sell this one to get another version?
I hope they do come to their senses soon. I don't like being held hostage like this!

Its a nice phone indeed. All of them were. If its like sprints g4 only lolllipop was rootable and quickly did they implement anti rollback. So root died fast. I had one of the few orig g4s no bootloop rooted. I dropped it and crack led the mb. It works for another 6 months before finally dying.
I always tell everyone. Buy online unlockable. I think eventually one day root will be achieved. But may be 2 3 4 years down the road. Ive see unrootables from 2012 2013 just barely getting root. So i believe one day root will be achieved but we will have done moved on
