Rooting the Android operating systems on the LG V10 smartphones means you give yourself root permissions over your smartphone. By granting the rooting privileges to yourself you open doors to install more apps and even swap your stock ROM for a custom version. The act of installing custom ROMs is not anywhere near as straightforward as installing root apps because it also requires a custom recovery. To confuse matters even more, you can sometimes install a custom ROM without root access, and that ROM will give your device root access. It is in those instances that you do not need root access to installing the ROM due to the ROM itself being the thing that is giving your device the root access instead.

REQUIREMENTS
