Hi, I have the LG G7 H990ds with android 8.0, and would like to update to 9. However, android 9 blocks voice recording of interlocutor on the other side, which I would like to circumvent rooting the device. Any news on this, and once it's rooted can I revert it to stock?
guide to re-lock bootloader and install oem operating system:
[Guide] How to flash stock firmware and re-lock bootloader.
Warning that unlocking the bootloader using the official LG method erases userdata and cache:
How to Unlock Bootloader LG G7 LMG710 With Official LG Method.
Watch out for adb backup and restore which is not a complete method, some data may be missing.

I have received my new LG G4 H815 (EU) phone today and I definitely want to root the phone. Now I'm asking myself whether I should unlock the bootloader or not.
As far as I understand, there are two completely different options for getting root access to the device:
1. Register on LG site, officially unlock bootloader, install TWRP image via fastboot, install root via TWRP
2. Walk through the instructions in this thread:

According to the thread you should disable OTA upgrades after rooting it and there is always the possibility that LG patches this rooting method with future Android Upgrades. However, I do want to upgrade the Android system image from time to time (LG will probably provide an upgrade to Android 6.0 sooner or later). Will upgrading the Android system (without loosing root) be less problematic when I unlock the bootloader now? As far as I understand it so far, you can easily root it again after an upgrade if you have unlocked the bootloader. Is that correct? Can I still use OTA upgrades when the bootloader is unlocked and TWRP is installed? I don't mind running fastboot to reinstall TWRP after an upgrade but I don't really like to manually download each Android upgrade from shady mirror sites instead of using the official LG OTA updater.
I do know that unlocking the bootloader will void the warranty and that some Apps may refuse to work no an unlocked device. I'm ok with that and I want to have the phone permanently rooted and install updates (without loosing root) with as little trouble as possible.
Since unlocking the bootloader will wipe everything, I want to do it either now (before setting up the phone) or never. So what would you recommend?
I am currently on android 5.1 and I want 6.0 so I heard I can update it with lg bridge.After that I have to unlock bootloader so I can acquire root permission.Would either of them make my phone not updateable with officials(ota)?
You probably will have to manually upgrade with a KDZ file. Maybe the real question is... is it worth to unlock bootloader and lost warranty?

I have a Spring G7 ThinQ cross flashed with ULM firmware, with bootloader unlocked. I wasn't very pleased with the lack of modifications I could do with LG UX, and wanted to see if I could flash the Pie AOSP that worked on any G7 except the T-Mobile version. I followed the instructions on this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/development/twrp-twrp-3-3-1-0-lg-g7-thinq-t3954012 however I got unexpected results. I get LGE crash handler saying kernel crashed, when I try to boot into TWRP, or system. I was on Oreo and the instructions did say to be on Pie, however this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/how-to-bootloader-unlock-g7-thinq-t-t3963568 advised against updating to ULM Pie, as I would then lose fastboot on the device. Am I stuck on ULM Oreo to have fastboot and root, or is there something else that can be done?
