Just received my v10 from ATT. Any way to root or install TWRP on it? I see that T-Mobiles version has a unlocked boot loader. Any way to unlock the ATT version's boot loader?
Also anyone notice any differences from the ATT model and the T-Mobile model?
I also noticed that i cant enter a recover mode like on the G2 where you hold down the power and volume down buttons to do a factory restore
we may have to wait untill the At&t to get bump like the G flex.

LG L70 "Phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked". Is there any fix?
Hello,
I got an LG L70 MS323 from the US and I live in Europe. I ordered an unlocking code, but the unlocking menu shows "Phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked".
Is there any way to fix this? I had the phone for the last couple of months and no one ever tried to unlock it...

What carrier, what android version, any root, any ROM, any kernel? What have you done to your device?

LG L70 MS323 is MetroPCS' LG L70 variant. Android version si 4.4.2 stock rom, no root. I haven't done anything, that's why I'm asking for a solution. Ultimately, I'll get it to a local GSM shop in my city and someone will, luckily, unlock it for 20 bucks. But I thought there might be a way to reset that counter, obviously blocked by MetroPCS.
Unfortunatly, you have to spend that extra buck . Some carriers use software to not allow any sim card except theirs, that can, obviously be tampered with , but not this .
So I have a bit of an unusual question. I bought an AT&T variant of LG V30 (H931). I had to return it to an eBay seller, but before I sent it, I didn't wipe it, and I have forgotten the random password that I used to play with the phone (not logged in to anything). Now the phone is back in my possession. Is there anyway to wipe it without knowing the password? I thought I could oem unlock it, then relock it, then that would wipe (twice). But I can't get into bootloader via the usual "vol down+power" or even "vol down+vol up+power". Some say the AT&T V30 has a crippled bootloarder so you can't do fastboot. And I can't use any of the guides that involve adb because I can't unlock it!
What are my recourse besides selling for parts?
Thanks

Well if you want bootloader, Frankenstein to US998.
I actually want to restore it to its original state. And stable.

Somebody bought a phone recently which had been factory reset with with locked password and they googled how to get around it. Maybe that can help? I'm not sure that will help you return to seller if that's what you want...
The only other thing you can do possibly is convert to US998, unlock bootloader, fix it, lock bootloader back and sell it as US998.
It's not google locked, it just has a random password, right? You should be able to master reset and clear it.
-Power off
-Power on holding power button and volume down.
-As soon as LG symbol comes across the screen, release the power button and then press+hold it again
-Follow directions to wipe phone.
Pretty sure that will fix it. If it's google locked, there's a youtube video on how to do it. Generally mods get upset here if you post it, so google is your friend.

H931 20H Dump
[https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/lg-v30-att-h931-20f-rom-t3872926
Hello everyone,
I want to unlock boot loader on my LG G PAD IV 8 (V533).
I did the OEM unlock in setting of developer options, But I couldn't reboot to bootloader and fastboot mode.
I tried:
1) adb reboot bootloader -> it reboots normally
2) Volume down and power and release power and hold all keys down --> IMEI display
3) Hold volume Up and connect USB --> Download mode (no fastboot)
4) Volume down and power and release power and hold back power --> factory reset
How can I enter to fastboot mode on this device so I can unlock the device? I don't find the key combination.
Thanks
Did you fimd any imfo on this yet???

Hi,
Looks like the Canadian variant of the LG GPad IV 8.0 is unrootable or unable to unlock the bootloader. However, the US T-Mobile variant (V530) which is essentially the same specs, is rootable according to other XDA post https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-pad-x-80/how-to/guide-root-lg-g-pad-v530-newbies-t3901485
Should any new info come up regarding this variant, feel free to post it here. Thanks
I just flashed 8.1 with a Korean kdz. onto an LG-V533 using LGUP Dual Mode. Next I will see about recovery, but for now pleased with the results. I got tired of searchig for American firmware with identical hardware.

Could you please tell us where to download it and how to flash? There's any tutorial around?

Did you simply use the LGUP Dev mode and flash the Korean kdz onto the V533 or did you modify anything somehow? Would like to try it but not familiar with flashing LG devices, only ZTE and HTC
That's correct. I am going from memory here, but i know i did not make any alterations of any kind prior. It will repartition the device and i'm not certain if you can revert.
I did it for a friend and it works well. You'll wind up with a few weird Korean apps. The ones you can't uninstall just use adb or app manager.
I am pretty sure the selection i used was "download" and it gave a warning about repartitioning. So obviously i did it. I think it froze during initial boot. I recall waiting far too long and just force rebooted and all was well. I am much more comfortable flashing a Motorola or Samsung myself. I've cross flashed a few Lg's now and they seem to work well.
Even though i spend a lot of time making sure it can work, you may get different results. Make sure it's charged good. I learned that one already. Let me know how it goes!
After your cross-flash, 3g/lte works? Your IMEI remains the same as original IMEI?
Thanks.

Sorry. I did it and it was successful
By this do you mean your IMEI remained the same (original IMEI)?
I would like to cross-flash in order to unlock the bootloader, then install TWRP. Thank you. Could you give more details about
(1) Your original model. I assume it was LG-V533 Canada Rogers or Telus.
(2) After cross-flashing, the model changed to ...? Have you tried "adb reboot bootloader" . Inside bootloader: "flashboot oem unlock"?

I have no idea. I did it to upgrade the OS and my buddy never intended to put in a SIM. I will see if i can get him to check. Pretty sure his ex has it now. But i'll check out the imei if possible. Should be able to tell by the first 9 digits. I never attempted unlocking the bootloader either Sorry i cannot help much beyond that.

Hello
Does anyone have any active custom rom links/tutorials for V533 and V497? seems all online are down or gone? Thx
Hi guys, i just tried to unlock the bootloader on my father's v10, but can't enter bootloader with adb nor vol up+ power...
then i saw that the firmware is telling me it's a H900 at&t v10 while when i open it and remove the battery it's written it is a H901 ( T-Mobile version), right now it's running android 5.1.1, with no updates available.
How can i put it back to it's original firmware since now the bootloader is locked by at&t ?
oh yeah, and when checking the imei given by dial code *#06#, it is registered as a LG G4...
the one written behind the battery seems right
This phone was given to me by a friend, he says he got drunk, changed his lock code and doesn't remember. After a factory reset it just stays on a screen asking for a Tracfone SIM and he kept his SIM & moved halfway across the country.
I just wanna know if there is any means around this?
I called Tracfone, gave them the IMEI & they told me the phone will be eligible for unlock in about a month, I don't wanna wait as I can't root my S22 Ultra and I just wanna get back in the rooting scene, LOL
I know, call me impatient....
I apologize, I didn't notice a post w/ same issue but on a Cricket phone whereas mine is Tracfone but same situation.

What's the Model and build number? Is the bootloader locked or unlocked? Without knowing much detail I'd recommend finding the firmware that matches your phone and fastboot flash that or at least TWRP recovery if you can find one that works with yours and then you'd have more flexibility. This is all if your bootloader has been unlocked already though and if it hasn't I'd start looking through some threads on how to do that if you don't already know how to. If it's possible with your variant too I know carrier devices are pretty strict on unlocking the bootloader but Idk about tracphone variants.
It's not unlocked.
It's the Tracfone Moto G Power
Look up a thread here on xda about unlocking the bootloader for Motorola devices and come back here if you can unlock it. You'll have to do that before you can even flash anything such as partitions like a custom recovery.
