LG V20 (LG H918)

[Blue Dragon]

Hi,

I would like to know the best, safest, but free way to root an Android device. I know there is software such as "OneClickRoot" but that costs a lot of money to use. Is there an easy, but free and safe way of doing it?

Thanks!

I was looking for an option as well, but I unfortunately am now on Android 8.0.0 with H91820h and fear that I am now stuck and may not be able to root my new phone. Coming from an HTC device I have a lot to learn on the LG V20...but I am liking it so far.

I have a H918 myself and it is pretty easy to root and get Lineage running on it, regardless of any software version. Although you do need a computer. One thing to note though is this is from xda so if you need help I recommend checking there.

Here's the link, and before flashing Lineage check for any issues.

And just follow the directions exactly and you'll be fine.

Also I'd like to say that unless root seems impossible, never pay for software. Always check XDA for any development and if twrp, custom roms, and root are so important to you, check XDA before purchasing. Luckly enough XDA has everything we need for the V20 (not bashing androidforums, just saying always check development websites first)
