I'm not sure where to post this but I'm still on samfail 7.1 rooted. Question is can I update to oreo or pie and gain root? I seen something about V5 and V6 bootloader can be rooted but not sure if that was for our snapdragon version and if I can just do maybe an update through odin? I'm missing xposed ugh...

It is my understanding that you can root the v5 and v6 booatloaders. However, the process of rooting is limited to Android 7.1. So, in essence of your wanted root and you were in v5 or v6 you would have to install Android 7.1 through the pseudo TWRP available to those of us on the Snapdragon version and not really gain anything new. There is no root for Android 8/9 at this time. Because we cannot unlock the bootloader, we are limited to root on Android 7.1 at this time regardless of your bootloader.

I wouldnt fret too much, as PIE is pretty good, after much thinking about what apps really require root on a daily basis the upgrade was worth it as i get better battery life and not need any processor/kernel mods.
stability is awesome no more daily crashes
PIE theme / launcher is pretty nice, and you can always mod the launcher out or just install a different one and mod that one as if it were rooted.
just a thought if you were panicking like i was about leaving root for stock life, its not as bad as it seems on PIE i still have the feeling im going to need root but havnt had the need for it.

Anyway to root this US model?
Oh, absolutely. I rooted mine in December.
Don't. There is no benefit to it and it only causes problems. Wait until there is full firmware available and you've already upgraded to official Oreo.

EMUI 8.0 (with Android 8.0) is already in beta. So, I think the stable release will come out in a few months. You won't have to wait till June 2019 ?.

Do you mean rooting then installing a different rom causes problems or just rooting by itself?

In order to root you first need to unlock the bootloader and FRP. Once this has been done, it cannot be undone. Any attempt will likely result in bootloops or brick.
At this time, it will prevent you from being able to apply any OTA updates and voids whatever warranty you might have had.
With root, however, you can do a couple of neat things like remove the bloatware. Most of that can be removed without root, but there are a couple things. Add-free youtube? There's an apk out there that doesn't require root for that. Apply a different kernel that allows you to tweak performance or battery consumption? Doesn't exist and the phone's pretty good at performance and battery life as it is anyway. Oh, and snapchat won't work on root.
One really great thing you can do with root is flash the AOSP or OpenKirin rom. They're beta, so your experience might be better or it might be worse than stock.
Was there something else you wanted to do with root that you can't do without it?
I've never owned an Android device without root, but I'm regretting rooting this one. I'm looking to try out OpenKirin, but since my phone actually works for the time being, I'm hesitant.

So is there anyway to update L24 US model to Oreo beta? How can I get the beta ROM? I want to update to RR Oreo but all the I go seems to be for Indian L21 version. Can Huawei Firmware finder give me the update? I have Emui 5 and need Emui 8 with project treble FW to go to RR

As I understand it, you need to use the guide to upgrade to L21 and then flash RR Oreo from there. From what I've see elsewhere in the forums, one person has done it successfully and one person has bricked.
I've rooted many phones over the years but this one hasn't been fun. Unlocked bootloader, rooted and installed TWRP basically the day it was available. I didn't read one of the postings correctly one day and soft bricked my L24 trying to RELOCK and flash stock recovery. Long Story short I gave up and called customer support this past Sunday and started a warranty ticket. They sent me a packing slip via email. My package was handed to UPS driver at 12:45 Monday afternoon and my phone is already in route back to me for delivery tomorrow. I think I'm going to pass on unlocking and rooting until there's stock firmware released. Good luck if you choose to root.....
hi guys

Neither me, since I owned an Android, I rooted. But the the question now is? Is it worth to lose the warranty and OTA updates now that Huawei has been banned in US? I owned the Honor 7x since a year, it works just perfect, but there are some apps that i would like to use that require root, like Tinkore keymapper and a DIY gamepad. Again, is it worth it?
I'm just curious what you guys think is better right now...
Android P with Magisk or custom ROM with Oreo?

That's dependent on what you want, if you want a stock experience with root go Android P, if you want root with a bunch of customizations and faster updates, go custom. Personally I'm happy running custom since I'm not a huge fan of the stock look of P
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using XDA Labs
All of the above...
It really depends what you want and need. 8.1 roms has more customizations bur P is really nice and has a lot to offer
So my wife’s lg g3 still running stock android 5. She complains on bad battery life. I replaced the battery but I think it is the rom. Before I factory reset it,
Any new faster battery friendly recommend rom?
Thanks
Is the ROM rooted? If so you could run a utility like Better Battery Stats to determine what's draining battery while asleep. Stock ROMs usually have a bunch of stuff running that can suck down the battery. Some unneeded items can probably be turned off or controlled in some way.
If she prefers stock you could probably update to Marshmallow which may or may not be better as far as battery. There are some custom stock ROMs based on MM like Fulmics and Clean ROM. The latter still maintained/supported I believe. It's leaner with less cruft than standard stock.
As far as AOSP/CM/LOS ROMs go there's a lot to choose from. From Lollipop up to current Pie. I wouldn't know what to recommend. I run old stuff but there's no support so Oreo or Pie would be the choice as far as dev support. Maybe Nougat, too.
I'm sure other users will have some good recommendations.
Oh, and don't forget to specify your G3 variant.
LG G3 D851, AOSPA-L ROM, Nebula Rev9.3 Kernel, microG (NoGapps), MultiROM, XDA Legacy
All stock d855
Update
So the phone has no root and I see that the OS and the kernel is taking a lot of battery.
Any suggestions for fast and battery friendly ROM?

Since the phone is not rooted you'll have to tackle that first before looking at any ROMs. Could be wrong but I think the D855 has a locked bootloader. If so it's gotta be unlocked, get TWRP recovery installed, and rooted.
Over the years I've only followed the general and T-Mobile (D851) G3 threads so I'm not sure exactly of what methods to use on your phone.

I can install kingsroot and after that autorec and then twrp
Question is: what best rom do you recommend?
Pie or 15.1?

I have not tried Pie on any device since I multiboot. Due to hardware issues (failed sdcard slot) on my previous G3 I only recently tried Oreo, crDroid 4.6 and Liquid Remix 9.1.3. I am way late to the Oreo and Pie party so I can't recommend anything.
Check the G3 Development subforum and see what folks are saying about the various ROMs.

Thanks but there are so many...
I would probably install lineageos 16 and see.
I will update when done
I am getting cold feet about the process. I like Masik and unofficial Syberia and crdroid pie, but on miui 10.0.6 everything works really well, especially with the Poco launcher.
Playstore is no longer certified, this hasn't affected me yet. I have developer options unticked.
If I update OTA to 10.2 I hope that it won't relock the bootloader.
Has anyone else just unlocked and not proceeded with twrp,, then installed updates OTA?
I updated to 10.2 today, still unlocked, yay
What next ?
Flash any kernel
Or flash any custom ROM
Maybe soon, but stock is good for now.
flash Gcam

Yes, that sounds a good idea, which doesn't alter the stock camera or battery life.
hi everybody i recently purchased this g710em and out of the box i found the pie update so i did install it right away but i am very disappointed coming from an xz2 which was very snappy like realy snappy compared to the g7 and i didn't try oreo yet my request for you guys eas if u any one can hzlo or share his experience:
_can i downgrade to oreo.
-(if yes) is oreo better than pie.
-what is the latest oreo firmware or the most accomplished one.
i really like the audio capabilities and the build quality of the g7 but i cant keep it withe this kind major problem wich lag in the very basic ui. thank you. very much in advance.
If it is rootable then proceed to root and use a non stock rom that is oreo based.
Unless someone has made a stock backup you can restore via twrp.
i did downgraded with lgup to the g710em10s everything seem fine sim card speed no stuttering anymore even while installing 170 app from playstore ram management now i have 1.1 gb free ram while in pie i had only 400mb or 500 mb switching between apps via recent button seem snappier i let guys now about the sot battery.
Can you provide some more details about the procedure. I am complete newbie and couldnt figure out.
Not running pie makes u exposed to som nasty explots.
But a aosp shuld be faster even android 10
