Yah. No. It has system R/W access disabled. We need that. We have been working on it for hours every day for 2 weeks. We are still trying.

None. Help test if you want it faster.
At the moment rcartaz09 and Faznx92 are right. There are no confirmed ways to root 13.3.2.1 and 14.3.2.1 just yet. If you want to stay up to date on things I recommend taking time to go through the forum for this device and read through them carefully: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2540
Also two threads I found to stay up to date on this topic are the following. Just simply read, follow up, and be patient:

Nothing to see here. It's just a stock non-rooted odexed firmware tar. No different than what's on Kies.

[System Pull] [LG-H901BK_V10c] T-Mobile LG V10

Hope this helps out. This was after I unlocked bootloader and re-setup my phone (so there are some apps installed). Total unpacked size is 3.26GB, zip is 1.52GB.

Sorry for the seemingly noob question, but I've unlocked, rooted, installed ROMs, and modded system directories for many years but am unfamiliar with system pulls. What is the purpose of this and how can it be used on the new T-Mobile V10? Thanks.

It can't. It's just a dump of the system partition. Usually benefits people with other devices looking for something off this device. Maybe an updated app or lib.
As soon as @TheJesus and I can get online at the same time we might be able to come up with something...
You guys are quick. Just got mine on JoD, but don't want to do too much until we have a way to return to 100% stock.

If someone could modify this to be able to prompt me for an unlock code when I enter a different SIM card, I would be very, very happy. Apparently T-Mobile does something to stop the prompt from coming up, and I want to be able to unlock it almost immediately. I'm on my way to get the phone now, but I don't want to come home with a useless paperweight.
Apparently a similar stock ROM was created for the LG G4 as it had the same problem. I would love to see a ROM for this once TWRP is publicly released for the V10!

It depends on the version of

If you are on any version after BOD5 pretty sure you will not be able to root or downgrade to kit Kat to gain root

Look bubba, I rooted my phone a year ago when I got it (and the previous 3 phones I owned) and that's the last time I did it. I don't do this every day so I don't know where every little "thing" is or how to do it in my sleep.
Thanks for not being any help...
Go to About Phone and look at the build number. The last 4 character is what you're looking for.

Yeah it's been the same method to find your build for every android phone since ever. But you can't find it all of a sudden, after rooting 3 other phones. OK good luck with all of that then.

Nope, sorry, OE1 and OG5 you can't downgrade because of the locked bootloader. But there is a good news that they may found away to unlock bootloader on Verizon G5, we just have to wait and see if they will in fact release the exploit.

No it's copy paste click bait. I don't see a link in your post but I'm sure I know what one you're talking about because someone posted the same thing as you on the other forum. It's just generic instructions and talks about what to do if you're on 4.0, 4.1, etc. C'mon man.

Developer Option Allowing the bootloader to be unlocked
I just picked up the zmax pro tonight. I was going through making changes to the settings as I always do with a new phone and enabled the "Developer Options". As I was scrolling down I came across an option labeled " OEM Unlocking: Allow the bootloader to be unlocked". Well of course I enabled it.
Now from the knowledge I have about rooting, you have to have the bootloader unlocked to root. So by enabling the OEM Unlock are you just allowing the bootloader to be unlocked or are you unlocking the bootloader?
I look forward to hearing back.

You are just allowing the bootloader to be unlocked . As it said. To unlock the bootloader, you need the help of the genius hackers here. Unfortunately, like one of the posters here said our phone is unpopular which I say again, I don't know why, this is a good phone for me.
But then again, I really don't see the point of rooting any phone anymore, new phones already have all the things you want to put on your phones and why you root them right?
If I ever root my phone though, I definitely will install xposed. I like that they have repositories remind me of kodi, which is the best hack of em all. Is exposed made by kodi people?
