Guys, just got this brand spanking new. It's my first LG and from what I'm reading it's not easy to root this thing. I've read through the forums and wanted to ask if unlocking the boot loader through LG then installing recovery and flashing supersu for gaining root is safe for my phone or should I go through the low effort methods and others... Very confused...
I've got the H815 ...
I've attached a screen shot of my software too to be clear as to what I'm running...

If you have the 815 model, then it's perfectly safe. I just did it in the morning. Unlock, flash recovery, flash root.
Okay so I basically unlock through LG, flash the recovery and then flash super su through it and that's it right?

Also needed to ask, will unlocking the bootloader reset the phone or wipe it?

you will need to be more specific, im sure it does not says "its modified!" on those words, a screenshot would be nice.
Assuming it says that on "About phone" is not rooted already?
Depending on the method used when it was unlocked it may be locked back, I have not seen a software unlock, so far all the unlocks for the note 2 have been by code, or by Samsung Dev Menu, in those cases they are likely to stay after rooting your phone. Proceed to root your phone at your own risk, but more likely it wont be locked.

Download 'root checker' from play store..if no root access.Do a factory reset.
Just checked with root checker and i have no root! But it still says my device is "Modified" do you think the device will still be unlocked if i do a factory reset ?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Yes you can wipe
reboot to recovery, wipe cache and data (factory reset)
reboot normally and play for about 10 min before checking status again
If it is stil modified, just flash stock ROM with PC odin (find on 1st link on my signature)
On a T-mobile note 2 Model # SGH-T889 will a factory reset change the unlock status if the phone was unlocked by T-mobile?
Howdy, new HTC One M8 owner here. Coming from Galaxy S4.
There is a lot information here pretty overwhelming. I'm trying to get my bearings. I have unlocked my BL and have not yet installed a custom recovery or root yet. I also have not taken any updates.
Is there a general consensus on which recovery is most compatible with our device?
What is S-Off? I mean I have the jist secure off, but what does this allow, and how do I achieve S-Off?
How do I verify I'm SIM unlocked and if not procedure to achieve this?
Finally with all of the development is there a thread that runs through the ROMs so I can choose one that best fits my need?

S-OFF if you change CID and model information and be able to flash any firmware but to flahs normals ROM zip files you absolutely dont need SOFF

I factory reset still my data turns off and on when hot spot is activated. I have done nothing but installed TWRP and S Off. This is ridiculous.
Any other ideas?

after you update, you can flash custom recovery and root again

that's possible, but after full unroot, you'll still have your custom recovery..
after flashing stock recovery you'll have to relock bootloader too
Please provide stock recovery file

Hi,
I'm interested in rooting my International G4 H815. I've only got a MacBook down with me as my Windows laptop has broke down. I'm not into installing virtual machine and stuff as there's not much space in my rMBP.. Is there a way to root my g4 instead? Really appreciate the help everyone.
Cheers,
Bryson

If you have european or SEA version then you can unlock bootloader and flash root directly without having to go through all the hassle of the "easy root" process.
Yes I have the sea version. I should be able to unlock my boot loader but how do I root it afterwards by flashing?

Hi everyone,
I have a dev edition m9. I updated to marshmallow via OTA earlier today. The update is working fine. I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 and that's working fine as well. But when I try to root the system, it gets stuck on the HTC logo. I have tried it with SuperSU 2.46 (stable) and 2.52 (beta). Both times, I had to reboot into recovery, wipe cache and restore the system image backup to get my system back in working state. Please help as I need root access. Thanks.

What does that mean?
Your bootloader is the animation when u power on the device watch the videos on YouTube ...just search nexus 5x root there are a few I know its a different phone than u have but the process will be very similar

It talks about flashing a modified boot. I haven't seen any boot image corresponding to the M9.
U said u just got the ota today ,correct?.... Just keep checking in for it ....I'm sure it'll be available in a week or two
Sent from my Nexus 5X using XDA Free mobile app
@bigduke$: That's not really the solution for that problem. The M9 doesn't get rooted the same way the Nexus 5x does.
@slvrhwk: You need to use SuperSU 2.65 and TWRP 2.8.7.1-Beta1. Android M needs system-less root that's why your system didn't boot.
