Okay, here's the deal. I went through A LOT of trouble to get the version of this phone that I can actually do the bootloader unlock. Already confirmed that it is successfully unlocked.
That said, NOTHING I can find will actually root the phone. The last time I looked for this led me to some stuff on XDA that didn't work, because all it did was wipe the phone, and still boot to a wiped phone. It never actually booted to installing recovery or root.
And now this morning, surprisingly LG proved that it didn't completely forget about this phone and it's nagging me to download an OTA update for it finally. So, it's crunch time. I should've had this thing all rooted and stuff by now, and life got in the way. And now on my final weekend of work holiday, this happens... so it's forcing me to take the time to try and get it done already.
Please, I need help. And honestly just tired of trying to search myself on XDA because the site comes off as fickle. Especially how it still hasn't come up with a meaningful solution for my problems getting Pokemon Go to run. But that's neither here nor there.
