Root the LG V60 ThinQ 5G

The LG V60 ThinQ 5G is a 2020 Android device from Lg. It runs the Qualcomm SM8250 Snapdragon 865 5G (7 nm+), a Qualcomm platform with strong community tooling and EDL-mode recovery as a safety net. Shipped software: Android 10, upgradable to Android 13. For this model the realistic path is: a standard fastboot bootloader unlock, followed by Magisk via patched boot image (fastboot). Typical hands-on time is 1–3 hours.

Difficulty

Moderate — brand-specific steps involved

Typical time

1–3 hours

Method

Magisk via patched boot image (fastboot)

Bootloader unlock on Lg

Unlock procedure follows the generic Android flow: enable OEM Unlocking in Developer Options, then unlock via fastboot. Exact availability depends on the model and region — confirm before flashing.

Platform notes

Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms are the best-supported in the root community: fastboot works as documented, and even a failed flash can usually be recovered through EDL (9008) emergency mode.

Before you start

  • Bootloader unlocking factory-resets the device on almost all models — back up everything first.

FAQ

Can I root the LG V60 ThinQ 5G?

Yes. After enabling OEM Unlocking and unlocking the bootloader, root is Magisk via patched boot image (fastboot). The unlock notes on this page describe the exact Lg procedure.

Does the LG V60 ThinQ 5G support custom recovery (TWRP)?

That depends on community support for this exact model — verify a build exists for its codename before flashing anything. TWRP is not required for root: Magisk installs by flashing a patched boot image via fastboot.

Will root the LG V60 ThinQ 5G void my warranty?

Lg will generally treat a rooted LG V60 ThinQ 5G as outside warranty while it is modified. Restoring full stock firmware before a service visit usually restores normal treatment in practice, and consumer law in some regions (such as the EU) may still cover defects unrelated to root.

What Android version does the LG V60 ThinQ 5G run?

It runs Android 10, upgradable to Android 13. The specifications table on this page lists the full software details.
