[Guide] How to Root LG v10 - Easy [19 December 2015]

Root Guide for the T-Mobile LG V10

Before we start, I like to mention that I did not create any of these files and I do not take credit for the work done. All I am doing is putting everything in one place and some helpful things that I had to google. This effort is mainly to make the process easier and more efficient as opposed to having to have several tabs or windows open to do it. I will make sure the proper thanks are given at the bottom :)


Instructions Start Here:
Warning - It is not supposed to factory reset your device after this process, but when you reboot it may be like the first time it powered on from the store. BACK UP YOUR DEVICE!!


1. Download the following tools for this process: adb-setup-1.4.3.exe, twrp-2.8.7.1-h901.img, UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
2. Install adb-set-up-1.4.3.exe to install the universal adb driver (Creates adb folder in C:\ if you don't already have adb setup)
3. Go to settings, about phone, software info and tap build number 5x to enable Developer Options
4. Check the Enable OEM unlock box to enable OEM Unlock
5. Enable USB debugging
6. Plug phone into the computer
7. Click on USB options on the phone and change it to PTP (USB Debugging will connect - Authorize Your Computer when prompted from phone)
8. From the Command Prompt, verify adb sees the device connected - type adb devices



9. Reboot into the bootloader in command prompt by typing: adb reboot bootloader



10. You will now unlock the bootloader, verify, and Install TWRP

Code:

---

fastboot oem unlock
fastboot getvar unlocked
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery  twrp-2.8.7.1-h901.img
fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.1-h901.img

---

11. You should be in TWRP Currently.
12. Reboot the device, if it factory reset, then you need to repeat steps 2-8
13. Now place UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip om your phone
14. Reboot into recovery
15. Back up YOUR EFS PARTITION
16. Wipe Cache and Dalvick Cache 3x
17. Flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
18. You have successfully Unlocked the bootloader and Rooted your Device!!
19. SuperSU will prompt you to give tmobile.pr.adapt root privlidges, DENY
20. Navigate with Root Explorer to /system/priv-app/AdaptClient and rename AdaptClient.apk to AdaptClient.apk.bak and reboot
21. Finally, All done
