Rooting ZVC

[mikeregister]

I have been out of the loop on this phone for a while. I had to get a replacement G4 and it came with ZVB and I recently took the new ZVC OTA. It looks to me that there is no current root method for phones running ZVB and above. Can someone please confirm this for me? Just wanting to make sure I am not missing something.

Root has been gone for a while with a locked bootloader it's very highly unlikely new software updates will never receive root. At least on older phone models.:crying:

Zv6 is only firmware rootable.
as of rite now you cannot rollback before zvb any ways. You can brick device. Basicly for now ypur screwed til someone makes a modded sysyem image with tweaks only no root. U aint missed much on g4

I have also just now come back to the G4, and it seems like there is no root method at all, even in mods like my favorite UltraPOP AOSP, the difficult ones where you're pulling the plug on the battery at certain times.

What those mods HAVE done, specifically UltraPOP, is that they are able to unlock or make accessible most things people want root for, but manually, and requiring a software update for each thing. Those may do what you're looking for.
