LG Treasure LTE from Tracfone

Has anyone figured out how to root these things?

I've been trying to root this beast for about three weeks with no success whatsoever. My previous two Androids (one Samsung and one LG) were no problem, but this one seems beyond me.

First, some particulars:

Make & Model: LG Treasure LTE (LGL51AL) (GSM)
Android Version: 5.1.1 (API 22)
Build Version: LMY47V
Kernel: 3.10.49
Allow non-market apps: CHECKED
Allow OEM unlock: CHECKED
Network ID: 310410 (AT&T)

Reasons for root: ability to use Titanium Backup, SetCPU, and SDFix; changing standard font; ability to freeze or get rid of some junkware so that I can free up some storage space. Nothing too fancy.

------------

First I tried the APK version of KingoRoot, which did not work. I tried at least a dozen times with no luck. Error code 0x1129B2 every time.

Then I tried the PC version, which I thought had worked, but, no... I got the message "Root Succeeded", but no SU binary was found. Most of the time it stalls somewhere around "Installing recovery", but when it completes, it still does not work.

KingRoot (APK) failed. It told me it was successful, but, once again, there was no SU binary.

LG One-Click Root 1.3 stalled and did not complete. Tried several times.

Framaroot (?) said the device was patched. No joy.

Another APK, whose name escapes me (Stump?), also went pfffffft.

I'll keep trying... but surely someone has figured this out?

Thanks for letting me bend your ears.

Ah, never mind... I ditched the LG and got an unlocked Moto G4+. But I haven't been able to root that either. I'd love to get rid of that dumb "Hello Moto" animation.

Rooting the G4+ requires a bootloader unlock, Elemental x kernel and SuperSU or Magisk.

The boot animation can be changed as well.
