Rooting the LG V35: Unleash the Hidden Power (But Proceed with Caution!)

Rooting your LG V35 grants you superpowers in the form of system customization, app removal, and deeper control over your device. However, with great power comes great responsibility (and risk), so proceed at your own discretion! This guide will outline the process, but remember to research thoroughly and understand the risks before diving in.

Here's what you'll need:

• LG V35 running Android 10 or earlier.
• Unlocked Bootloader: This is crucial. Follow LG's official guide for bootloader unlocking specific to your V35 model.
• Computer with Windows OS.
• Micro USB cable.
• Download FlashTool by LG: https://lgflash.com/
• Download KDZ firmware file specifically for your V35 model and Android version: You can find this on LG's website or trusted third-party repositories.
• Download LGUP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx9M8XXxiA0
• Download TWRP custom recovery for your V35 model: You can find this on XDA Developers or other trusted forums.

Rooting Steps:

1. Back up your data! Rooting wipes your phone, so create a complete backup to a safe location.
2. Connect your V35 to your PC and launch LGUP.
3. Select "Upgrade" mode and browse for the downloaded KDZ firmware file.
4. Uncheck "Select Model" and "Auto Model Download."
5. Click "Start" to flash the firmware. This may take some time.
6. Once complete, download and install Magisk Manager APK on your V35.
7. Boot your V35 into Fastboot mode: Power it off and hold Power + Volume Down.
8. Connect your V35 to your PC and launch FlashTool.
9. Click "TYPE" and select "Recovery."
10. Click "Browse..." and select the downloaded TWRP recovery image (twrp.img).
11. Click "Start" to flash TWRP recovery.
12. Reboot your V35 into TWRP recovery: Power it off, then hold Power + Volume Up.
13. In TWRP, flash the Magisk Manager APK you installed earlier.
14. Reboot your V35 again. You should now have a rooted V35 with Magisk Manager installed.

Verifying Root Access:

Open Magisk Manager. If it shows "Congratulations! You are rooted," you've successfully rooted your V35!

Remember:

• This guide is a general outline and may require specific adjustments for your V35 model and firmware version. Always research thoroughly and follow specific instructions for your device.
• Rooting voids your warranty and can be risky. If you're unsure, don't do it.
• Backup your data before proceeding, as rooting wipes your phone.
• Download the correct firmware and TWRP files for your specific device and Android version.
• Follow the steps carefully and at your own risk.

Alternatives:

Consider using custom ROMs without root access if you're not comfortable with the risks of rooting. Custom ROMs can offer similar features and customization options without compromising your warranty.

Enjoy the power of a rooted LG V35, but always proceed with caution and research!
