It has only been a month since LG released the V10, and we already have root access on the device. Thanks to the TWRP recovery build by KAsp3rd, using which you can simply flash Chainfire’s SuperSU zip and get root.

Root access gives you system level privileges on your Android device. With root, you can modify any system file on your device, without any restrictions. But know that modifying system files could potentially hard/soft brick your device, so be careful root access.

Rooting LG V10 root is pretty easy. You just need to unlock the bootloader, fastboot flash TWRP recovery and then flash the latest SuperSU zip from Chainfire. Follow the detailed guide below (with links).
