Carrier versions of the LG G4 get rooted

Before you feel enraged by this – there is a business reason behind the locked root. Services such as Google Play Music and HBO Now would probably not exist on Android handsets if root access was unlocked from the get-go (in fact, HBO Now doesn't work on rooted phones), because this makes pirating their content way too easy. Additionally, giving the no-so-savvy users access to the system could easily translate into an insta-brick of the device.
A couple of weeks ago, we got wind of an XDA campaign raising donations for the first person to be able to root and/or unlock the bootloader of the carrier editions of the new LG G4. Well, someone may have their hands on that bounty, as all 4 major carrier editions of LG's flagship have been rooted and there are detailed steps drawn out so anyone can do it at home.
