Gaining root access on AT&T devices is a bit difficult work be it Samsung, LG or another manufacturer. As the bootloader is not very easy to unlock, and the device canโt canโt accept an unsigned kernel, you canโt possibly install a TWRP or root it. The AT&T variant of AT&T LG V10 couldnโt be rooted as the bootloader canโt be unlocked on the device. However, now, XDA forum members have come up with a root procedure for the AT&T LG V10.
This isnโt a regular TWRP or SuperSUย process. This is a workaround to gain root access on your device and the procedure is a bit different. However, that doesnโt mean itโs difficult. All you need to do is flash a rooted system file onto your LG V10 H900 using the new LGUP device. The developer has managed to root the system and recompile it form a TOT file. It has been tested working on some devices by now. The process does work. However, it requires you to manually flash a modified firmware file. Note that the full KDZ firmware file is not yet available for AT&T LG V10. Hence, you may not be able to revert back to complete stock. If you happen to find the full KDZ file, then leave a link in the comment and the Android community will thank you. You can also join the discussion from the source.
