as a non-developer me, i couldn't think why i need it. Not until there's a developer who can do something great with the unlocked bootloader. and there's even a slightest chances to get the phone bricked. as for the step to unlock it, seems quite difficult too. is there any easiest way to understand?

i actually not mind of waiting a while more. since i just have my x10 7 months ago ( well count as long though ) but quite satisfied already with custom rom even without bootloader unlocked.
This is the only method we unlock bootloader and very easy just run a file and u r unlocked

If you have a sim-lock, you cannot use other sim cards from other couriers except for the courier you have a contract for.

then i don't think i have the sim-lock thing. i bought my phone straight with cash without contract or anything and bought an extra sim card for it.
Don't mean to hijack this thread, but it has been a little while since I've been on xda for the x10...
I see that the boot loader has been fully unlocked but what is the advantage over the previous kernel bypass method?
I understand we can now make a real brick... don't think that is an advantage...
Are kernels on an unlocked phone more stable than before, or does this have bigger implications than just the kernel?
Hey Guys...
I used to have x8i, x10i, Neo, and now I'm gonna buy an Xperia U.
But I can't figure out something, since there is a little progress on this device in XDA.
The simple question is this: If I buy this little honey, Can I root it ANYway?
I mean either with locked BL or unlocked BL.
And, Is latest version, .184, rootable?
Actually, I want to know whether it is possible to root this device or not, and if yes, WHICH VERSION...
It would be greatly appreciated if you provide me the link..
Thanks in Advance...

Hey...
I want to know if there is anyway to unlock sim, or if someone is working on. If can unlock sim, BT will be unlockable, right?
Thenks.
Unlocking the SIM card and Unlocking the bootloader are totally independent and different.
Unlocking the SIM is not a way or a "cause" for unlocking bootloader.
Bootloader unlocking is a different story, especially in the case that it's official. through Sony Mobile website...
I have blocked BT. I can use sony mobile method...
Anyone Home?!!!!
Any Answer?!!!!
There is a WIP exploit. Needs a few final tests, but we're getting there.

first, tnx for your and ohter devs' hardwork.
then, there rises a question, how much chance do we have to get this little phone rooted? and then, who is the main dev for this? how much time do you estimate we need to get it done?

It is working, but I'm not yet sure if it's failsafe. Many things are the same as the XPS exploit and some work was done by Pokoby but I can't find his thread now. Basically it's a community effort.

It should not cause any damage, but something in there is not working every time, so you sometimes need multiple tries to get zergrush to work.

i kinda have an idea of what it is... is it a method kinda like the Tablet S? if yes, it is normal that it fails the rooting sometimes...

Not sure, it's mostly the same thing that was used for XPS.
hum, by XPS you mean Xperia S right? gotta read a bit how it is.
Pokoboy was just kidding, believe me! I read that thread all over, and nothing...
I hope there will be solution for root problem...
BTW, can you provide us with the root tool you are talking about? we will give it a shot, and we don't expect it to work 100%...
this device is very hard to root in locked bootloader because sony fixed the exploit., and another thing this phone is using different microprocessor(NovaThor), not a common Qualcomm SoC.

Even if he was (though I'm pretty sure he wasn't), he pointed me in the right direction. I'm the only person working on it, and I'm on vacation so I am NOT working on it right now.
I'll have a test version in a couple weeks.

Hi! I found this now on reddit, there is LG G2 on the list, can we use it?!
It's the documentation by @djrbliss (Dan Rosenberg, XDA Recognized Developer)
http://imgur.com/TXKDpOI
Reddit link:
http://pl.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2csyiq/looks_like_many_android_phones_are_getting_a/
Please check it guys, but if it's not useful, then sorry.
@dorimanx @dr87 @savoca @Cloudyfa @OptimusRs @RenderBroken @Amperific @JackpotClavin (just wanted to show it to someone who is experienced and who would have a while, it's not like i just mentioned everyone here)
EDIT: https://www.blackhat.com/us-14/briefings.html#reflections-on-trusting-trustzone
The talk will conclude with a discussion of the ramifications of this vulnerability and others like it, including a live demonstration of using it to permanently unlock the bootloader of a major Android phone.

Dan performed a permanent boot loader unlock of the Moto X live. We shall see how this pans out to other devices in the coming weeks.

Well, seems like the G2 may be a hot phone for developers soon The phone still has the beast specs, so.
Btw, I read that S5 and M8 are patched, as we know they have Snap801, so this exploit is hardware related? If yes, then LG couldn't even relock it, i suppose, lol
Thanks @reas0n for sharing this with us. The imgur link you shared, i compared it first with the loki script but it didnt contained anythin about qsee i thought and no similair lines. If @dr87 has the way to permanently unlock the gs4 then it would be also maybe possible for the g2 like said in the imgur link you gave. Seems trustable that link. But i bet dr87 is having now some kind of top secret area 51 project to unlock the lg bootloader.
Thanks again reas0n continue your search you`re doing great.
I could also be wrong and it maybe contained in the loki script but i didnt saw it since i`m watching from my tab now.
Thanks, I want to do as much as I can for the G2 community.
Edited the thread, lol, it would be epic if he used our lovely G2 as unlocking example We just have to wait now.
I saw now that he will present at blackhat so pretty big. First i came on an website from azimuth security about galaxy s4 loki etc i just found out on that link from you that dr87 works/ is part of azimuth security so i bet he will bypass and unlock it
The security doctor will fix ill locked devices.
Maybe the device wil get unlocked before lg provides an official unlock method. Is it about me or is LG doing the same as samsung? Same with bootloader, roundicons in notification bar etc, i wonder how LG will become.

Dan performed a permanent boot loader unlock of the Moto X live. We shall see how this pans out to other devices in the coming weeks.

Now we just have to wait for him to release this exploit
my bootloader for ls990 is unlock but dont have a custom recovery
I did manage to fastboot and oem unlock
Elaborate. If you just typed that in fastboot then it's a no go. Sorry mayn.

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't touch that with an 80ft pole!!!
First off, it's not for the G3. It's L90
Second, and most important, None of the devs working on it have put it out there yet. I'm sorry, but maybe I'm too sceptical to believe that if this has been out since Aug 8th, Why is it not available here?! Or even rumor of it?
I really hope you didn't just ruin your phone. My guess is this has something to do with the T-mo version of the G3 at best. Not to be used on the Sprint version.
I got an 81ft pole if your down. Haha. Just kidding man. I hate seeing threads like this that give us hope for a minute and turn out to be snake oil.

I looked into it too and it seems legit for the phone they advertise but as you said it didn't mention the LS990 anywhere., and how jcase or no one else over here knew about it and if they did and it was legit they would share it here. Hopefully his phone isn't ruined.
no is not damage it even do a back up of the laf.img and boot.img
this looks shady if you ask me.

You're a braver person than I.
In that thread you linked, Sammyz has the partition layout. It's no where near what ours is as far as I could tell. There were many differences.
So even if you managed to get it unlocked, I would think your offsets and partition names/sizes would be wrong now.
I may be totally wrong, and I truly hope I am. But this is a risk I wouldn't recommend to anybody yet. And definitely not for me.
But to try to help you if you want to continue, AT YOUR OWN RISK, I guess you could try the recoveries in the LG G3 forums, under general. It's tethered and might be the safest, but it's also not for Sprint
Bare in mind though, Sprint Does Not have a recovery yet.

It's an unlock for a different model lg phone. At best trying it wont work - at worst you are now bricked. People can be a$$hats.....
I looked through the script and its pulling the partitions by name which is good. The thing i see that would worry me is erasing the the boot img to access fastboot, But it does backup the boot and then flashes it again. I think i might give this a go later when i grow a bigger pair...lol
Hi everyone, I know that there hasn't really been much development for this phone, it really sucks, we've tried a few different things like adding a bounty or signing a petition... I think we need to take a new approach at getting this root method... The last developer who had our first root was great but if he isn't going to do it maybe we could convince and ask somebody else and tell them about our bounty? In this thread lets throw out ideas that we could do to get the root and twrp! So does anybody have any good ideas?
