Anyone know if there is anything special needed to add root access to the phone? Would love to add Xposed and Magisk to the phone to customize.
Are you happy with the phone? I think I am going to buy it if root is possible.
I've been very pleased with this phone. It's responsive and snappy. The more I use it the better I get with it. It does take a little bit of a learning curve and some customizing to set it up. But it is well worth it after you do that.
. I do not believe there's any way to root this phone at the moment.

I have just discovered there is the OEM unlock option! So if bootloader is possible, root is possible!

yeah I ended up getting the OnePlus 8tplus 5g for T-mobile and its bootloader unlocked and I got it sim card unlocked
This is my first unrooted device... well since ever. And I am very pleased with it. I would love to get root for ad blocking and OS update control. But other than that this phone is Rock Solid.
Did anyone managed to unlock the bootloader? I can access fastboot and recovery too but with locked bootloader you can't flash or even test boot with fastboot boot *.img. Did anyone try to "fastboot oem unlock" on old versions of the firmware?
Adb reboot fastboot works for me.
US T-mobile
Lucky. Tmo is better for the locking down of the OS.. Verizon are bastards
Bumping this thread because I got my Wing going today on TMO but would like to be able to root and remove all the AT&T and other bloatware. I'm dumb to this stuff so I don't know what the benefits are of ADB reboot fastboot but I'll happily do whatever works to make it faster.

System tuner UI works really well to speed up the phone. I went down to 0.2x for animation speed. If you don't want to use system tuner UI, you can go down to 0.5x animations and developer settings. Or turn them off completely.
Speed up transition animations
In developer options Change animation speed to ".5x" Just a little snappier especially when "winging" open ? enjoy!

I'm actually not sure if there is a tutorial from start to finish from unlock to root. I got to skip the unlock phase as I got mine unlocked. With an unlocked phone I followed the tutorial to install Epic ROM and then just flashed Magisk for root.
AFAIK the process is something like this:
Unlock the bootloader within the official MIUI using a vpn. (I believe there are some older threads about this process). Then use fastboot to flash twrp (I used the twrp from epic rom) then in recovery format everything, reboot back into recovery and flash epic.
Epic is a debloated version of MIUI, so it is close to stock.
That was my experience with it. It takes a little messing with to get working thanks to the way MIUI encrypts the phone. TWRP has a hard time with it. I believe Raupe (I think that's the spelling) is working in fixing up a proper recovery.
Has anyone tried unlocking a T-Mobile g7 bootloader from the developer options? I've turned on developer options and OEM unlock option is in there but I haven't connected it to pc to check with ADB.
only the EU bootloader has been unlocked, something to do with TMO releasing some keys or something for the secuity, I believe. I know on HTCs I used to have TMO had certain encryption on wifi calling and a few signatures that were broken by touching the security partition needed to gain root and install custom OSs. Once LG updates their bootloader unlock page to include TMO version G7 (I have one, too) then we'll see a KDZ thread and then root

Root is unlikely on the T-Mobile variant due to T-Mobile using different RSA Encryption keys compared to every other carrier, also the development for this phone is basically one guy. I hope I'm wrong about it being unlikely but from what I've been reading and what I've been told it's a slim chance it's going to happen

Tell me something. What's the real use for root now-a-days? My z2 force is rooted and is super buggy. Hardly any Xposed apps are even working anymore. This phone is super solid and reliable. It's also a lot further ahead than the one+ 6T will be.

Greenify was the biggie to me particularly with the Xposed module. Titanium Backup. Disabling system apps that the UI wouldn't let me disable. (Maybe that can be done via adb w/o root. I should try.) BootManager. MinMinGuard. Worthwhile system-wide font replacement w/o bloat. (No apps, no junk, no "apps that don't support <thing> or <favorite font>", just replacing files in /system/fonts.)
Lots of other little things that -- added together -- made my phone just that much nicer to me.
I'm really happy with my G7 all around (except for the WiFi stability, that still sucks). I just wish I had all those little tweaks back.
I made a post about a week ago but never got any replies. Has anyone else ran the "fastboot flash unlock_critical" command? My phone restarts and shows the erasing screen but no actual bootloader unlock.
Any updates?
I'll try out when I make it back home sorry was flooded here we either need to mod kernel or laf aand github has a repo on some I'm checking on I'll be able to check more sorry and package disable pro will freeze apps or use autoprimes way on rooted you can use twrp file manager to delete system apps on moto z2 oem can't be touched but there's ways
the aristo 2 has different commands has anyone tried that way and we still need a twrp to flash their is thread about making one we can get somewhere this would be a great phone with root without it sucks

There's been petitions for like every locked-down LG device since the beginning of time. Never has it been effective, never will it be. LG doesn't reverse its bootloader locking policy.
I can't seem to find a consistent guide on this. Any help to to get me rooted and using an unlocked bootloader is greatly appreciated. If anyone knows a great, recent guide or knows how to do this, please link it.

So its your carrier's problem then. TMobile to be exact. Are you on a contract or anything? Can you issue an unlock request if no contract?
(I dont know much how US-locked phone works~)

Yes did anything ever come of this? Also when you unlock it, does it you to root it?
So is there a way to get the OEM option to appear in the dev options or a way to install a bootloader without OEM?
I'm having the same exact problem with my phone. Same model and everything and I also do not have the unlocking option In my dev options. I've tried every exploit known to me and have no luck. I tried flashing TWRP theough Odin without the OEM unlocking and I get a fail because of a secure check fail which I'm not sure is related to the bootloader not being unlocked or something else. I'd love to get an answer to this so I can get lineageos on here
Has anyone found anything yet on how to unlock or enable OEM unlocking
As I understand it the OEM unlock setting is only available after owning the device for 160 days.

There is no OEM unlock option in the dev options for this phone.
The most I could do is to get in to go into download mode, no bootloader came up.
I Used ADB Command: adb reboot bootloader
Another PC app I seen on xda forums is called "ADBAppControl".
There is an option reboot your phone with adb built in to do it too.

My J2 is new and No at this Point, One Reply in here said after 160 days of owning it the option opens up, so I will have wait for the 160 days are up to check again.
Update, it been Over 160 Days and still do not see anything in the dev options. I bought the phone 4-12-2020. So i guess it lockout code that releases the option i suppose. or it just not available with this phone.
Was thinking of flashing my old stock 4.1 on it. cause 4.1 i had no trouble rooting it.
Yes,I'm new to the forum. I also have the same model phone unlocked from the carrier(Metro PCS). I've tried several ways to root this device but I don't have access to a PC I also get the security error code to pop up when I tried to install custom OS. I can't seem to get the recovery backup or to actually Flash the proper image to the bootloader I've also tried kingroot, kingoroot, l root, and some other one click root options. My understanding of using team Win Recovery Project without PC is limited I'm also trying to use magisk with it.In A novice in understanding...Does anyone have any advice..
Better find a friend with a computer to help you . Apps are crappier than Microsoft.

Since the inception of Android getting stuck in a bootloop after updating is a common problem. The Red Magic 6 Pro is no exception. For the purposes of this guide I'm referring to the global, or as known in the USA, the US version of the Red Magic 6 Pro. After receiving my device directly from Red Magic's website, I of course wanted to toy with it and see what I could and couldn't do with it. I downloaded the official global Rom from Red Magic's website for future possible fixes if anything went wrong unlocking the bootloader and rooting. I unlocked my bootloader and rooted via patching stock boot with Magisk as outlined in @chocolote4444 thread. After screwing around with Magisk modules and doing all I wanted to do, I decided to unroot and relock the bootloader. This is where the fun began.
After unrooting and relocking the bootloader, I placed the full update zip in root directory of internal storage and ran the local update. It wasn't necessary, but just to make myself feel better i did it anyway. After the update was complete and I rebooted it was stuck in boot animation bootloop. Factory resetting via recovery did nothing to alleviate the bootloop. Here's what I did to fix the bootloop:
1: Hold down power and volume down to reboot in to fastboot.
2:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
This will tell you what your current active slot is. Just look through the lines returned and you'll see it.
3: Once you see what your active slot is you're going to change the active slot to the opposite slot. If you're slot a you're going to change it to b and vice versa.
4: In order to change active slots you have to be bootloader unlocked if you aren't already. I won't detail here how to unlock because if you don't already know how to do it you shouldn't be doing this anyway.
5:Now to set your active slot,
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a
if you're on slot b or
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
if you're on a.
6: At this point you can reboot. If all goes well you should reboot and the bootloop is gone. After rebooting and assuming everything has been done correctly, you should boot into system. After rebooting and you boot into system, you can reboot again into fastboot and relock the bootloader if you so wish.
The reason you're getting stuck in bootloop after update is it's not switching slots correctly after update. This is purely speculation on my part but it seems to fit. Thats it! You should now be up and running. I hope this helps someone whos stuck and as aggravated as I was.

Their recovery is totally different. Most stock recoveries have a way to flash stock zips. Just for sh*ts and giggles have you tried adb sideload? Probably won’t work with locked bootloader but you never know. Try it in stock recovery.
The recovery is strange on these models, only gives you a wipe, reboot and power off option but unfortunately there isn't any adb access that I'm aware of, only thing that can be used for sideloading is fastboot or EDL and with a locked bootloader, that just leaves EDL

I know the option isn’t present as far as what’s listed in the recovery options but it never hurts to try anyways. It’s weird because even after wiping data I was still able to unlock bootloader. For some odd reason my oem unlock was enabled without me have ever touching it.

I had already tried it a couple days ago lol, adb doesn't exist in this world of Nubia. The OEM Unlock option in dev settings typically survives simple factory resets which is all this wipe option in recovery does.

That’s strange because every Android device I’ve ever owned would set the oem toggle back to off if you even looked at the reset button lol. As sad as it is to say, I’m already bored with mine and am probably going to either trade it off or sell it. I want to try that Lenovo Legion Duel 2 or whatever it’s called. I also want the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. I’ve had several Xiaomi phones and they’ve all been excellent. Normally I’ll look at what’s currently hot in China and give that a try. If a phone is selling well in the land of electronics aka China then it’s probably a fairly decent device.

I see lol my experiences are mainly from Samsung/LG lmao so I thought it would be the same case since dev settings are pretty much mirrored across devices with a few regional/hardware exceptions. I haven't had a chance to get bored with mine yet, had to crawl back to one of my back up phones in the meantime xD But the Dual 2 does look really cool but at a $1.2k price tag and then with how picky Verizon is in what they support, it's a tough one. Never had an Xiaomi before but that's a good rule of thumb though that if it sells well over there, it's decent.
Edit: Mod please remove.

Verizon can be a huge pia. I used them for quite a few years but got tired of 400-500$ bills. I highly recommend Xiaomi. I've had several of their devices and for the money you can't beat them. A good entry level device of theirs is the Mi 10T. On paper they look sort of meh but having had one I can attest to their overall decency.
