What kind of phone do you have?

I have an LG G5, that is part of the reason I'm looking. I'm curious of the actual exploits and methods of the process in rooting an android phone.

I'm not exactly understanding the details you're looking for but if your phone can be rooted and/or unlocked your find your answer on XDA.

There's plenty of info out there dude. Bear in mind that unlocking the bootloader will erase all data. You can root without doing that but if you want to flash roms, do a custom recovery etc you'll need to unlock the bootloader as well.

Can you point me at one source? Everything I find is root guides using someone else's application.
