Wait. So I bought a phone i can't root?

I use Automagic to automate a lot of stuff in my phone, and it uses root for some of that... and then there's all those Xposed addons i like..

This thing just updated last night to LS770Zv9...

am i going to be stuck without root? I wanted to mess with some automation and even try that add-on for two non-google apps at once...
