ok so i am looking for a way to root my lg g flex. it is an att version lg - D950 running android 4.4.2. i do believe i have found a way that i can root it, but i also want to make sure that the bootloader is unlocked so that i can install a custom recovery. are there any tools that can root and unlock the bootloader all in one? or even seperate tools that will root then unlock the boot loader

can i still use this method to root sprint moto x on this link which it explains how to unlock device and then root. if it still works is there a way to root without installing a CWM or any custom recovery and if i have to where can i get stock recovery.
Thank you.

I have a locked Moto X 4.2.2 (latest camera patch).
I used RockMyMoto to root it and it worked fine.
But now I want to goto KitKat..
From what I think I've read, I could take one of two options
1. Go through the SlapMyMoto process to update to 4.4 Kitkat and stay locked
- This keeps stock recovery and root I think?
OR
2. Unlock my phone officially and just push TWRP and SuperSU with adb/fastboot and I'm done?
Is that right? Is it really that simple to root when you are unlocked? I don't give 2 flips about voiding my warranty

The conversation here is regarding unlocking the phone's bootloader, not unlocking the carrier...
Does anyone know how to unlock the bootloader for LG G FLEX?
there is no boot unlock...
There is no unlock as stated by alex. However there is root for both 4.2.2 and 4.4.2 Kingroot(roots) and freedom flex (installs recovery) w/ bump. So only bumped roms can be installed. If freedom flex doesn't work search the forums for the recovery and use flashify to install the recovery. Bump is currently our only way for roms atm. Atleast till our devs unlock the BL.

Secondary Device : LG G Flex 4.4.2 rooted, stock, TWRP 2.8.0.0, and Xposed. Keep on Flexin!
So I bought a G Flex on swappa after having owned 2 previously (its a pretty sweet phone :good: ). This phone is branded as a D959 on the body but the software running on the device is D95020F on KK. It wouldn't be such a big deal but I'm unable to carrier unlock it as I get the message " This phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked" when I enter the number "2945#*950#".
My question is will I be able to use the LG Flash tool to flash a D959 stock rom and have a working phone or am I SOL and should I return it?
Extra info:
-I tried to flash a recovery using Freedom Flex but I dont believe it is compatible with the D950 KK variant. I believe it doesn't have a custom recovery.
-The phone arrived rooted.
Im having the same problem
is there a solution i can follow?
just rooted my lg g flex using kingo root and verified it with root checker. the problem is that every time i reboot my g flex i lose root because i have a locked boot loader. how do i unlock the boot loader on my g flex LG-D950 att version.
same here. i have the sprint version.
use kingroot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618232&page=75
Bootloader can not be unlock on the at&t version. Look for freedom flex link it's a mod to allow you to use twrp. It's just a bootloader workaround. I think the app part is still on the playstore called freedom flex...
