Haven't seen any info on the Verizon version. Is there anyone working on unlocking the bootloader and getting root? Is there anything I can provide off my phone to help it along?
Bootloader is locked. Have to get an OS root method/exploit.
the situation is dire. we have begun operation brick wall.
It's going to get even worst when MM comes out and will likely need a custom kernel
This is messed up

Just recently purchased the Xperia Z2 Tablet and I'm very disappointed to find that I can't unlock my bootloader. I read a post on here that mentioned it was still possible to install CM on a locked bootloader. Could anyone explain to me how I could do this or link me to a thread that will help? Here's my device info:
Model SPG561
Android v4.4.4
Build 23.0.1E.0.208
Currently unrooted.
I actually got this today after returning a tablet just because I couldn't install CM or unlock the bootloader. I'm very close to just returning this and getting a different one. If I'm **** out of luck with the Z2, could anyone recommend a Verizon LTE tablet, with good specs, that will allow me to unlock the bootloader? I'm getting desperate.
Thanks for any help.

I can't see how you could flash CM on a locked boot loader as it requires a custom kernel.
I don't know anything about the Samsung tablets on vzw but I suspect they are locked down. The LG tablet can be "unlocked" with bump but its a piece of garbage. If the Nexus 9 is available for vzw its probably your only chance at getting an unlocked boot loader. Some of kindle fire tablets can be unlocked as well but they need to be on older firmware AFAIK
Unlocl boot loader
Yes you can unlock bootloader by going the sony site and follow the instructions. I ask you for the emei number ad other things. but follow the instructions carefully.
2nd option. Use Sony mobile flasher by androxyde it works perfectly well on mine. But if youneed to update or upgrade through Sony Compagnon, you will need to relock bootloader, install update and the (re) unlock bootloader. It works for me...
Ok, one last desperate kick at the cat. If anyone knows of a root for my G5, speak loudly please! It's a H831, presumably only available in Canada. And for what it's worth, my carrier is Rogers and I'm running Android N 7.0. Solve it, come to town, and I'll buy you beers all night long until the ambulance shows up
Sign the petition to release LG G5 Canadian bootloader
Hi there's a petition to release LG G5 Canadian bootloader on Change.org (Unlock the bootloader for h831, Canadian LG G5) Just sign it and spread the word..
That unlockable bootloader is everything....
It'd be really great if people could do even some cursory searches.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/info-autos-g5-thread-t3350648
OMFG!! i thought there was a breakthrough!!
stupid title!!
I don't believe this will ever happen
So confused
Ok...... so as we know now... i think (still kind of confused)
There is no bootloader unlock method available for the H831 because even though us canadians give everyone maple syrup and dont start wars,
nobody gives a **** about us..
That being said.... Am I able to unlock the bootloader by flashing a stock rom from a carrier that does allow bootloader to be unlocked, then follow instructions to unlock the bootloader under that stock firmware?
am I missing something?
so to reiterate...
Can I flash my LG-H831 with LG-H850 stock ROM,
then use the method for unlocking bootloader for LG-H850 to get my bootloader unlocked?
I really dont feel like trying to flash TWRP without my bootloader being unlocked because I do NOT have the money to get a new G5 if I brick it...

Don't do it because it will brick your phone

Sorry buddy, this won't work.
The H831 bootloader is locked, hence it will only run H831 firmware. The moment it sees something different, it will brick.
**** LG
And **** ANY piece of **** corporation that sells ****ing worthless GARBAGE WITH LOCKED ****ING BOOTLOADERS!!!
Extremely near-sighted profit-making scam that negatively affects the entire ****ing world for years if not decades. If you think, wtf do they even gain after the few months that their all-new "apps" and "services" are obsolete??

Have a H831 here, mistakenly sold on ebay as a H850 :/
3 years later ! I'd really wish I could do something with this phone, but it looks like it will go to trash
never again i buy a phone from a carrier.
now its unlock from the start or nothing.
I searched for this question, and couldn't find one detailing exactly what I intend to be asking. I am going to be getting a Samsung S20+ SM-G9860 so that it would be rootable. However, after I get the phone, I intend to flash the AT&T ROM to it so that I may use my carrier specific features. Will the phone remain rootable after doing this?
AFAIK AT&T will not have ROMs with an unlockable bootloader.

So even if the device itself has an unlockable bootloader, the AT&T ROM will not allow it? If so, then that's very unfortunate.

My previous post was erraneous: sorry for this. :crying:
The correct answer is:
Once a device's boot-loader - it's like the BIOS in the PC - got unlocked you're able to root it. Some manufacturers provide a boot-loader unlock tool for certain models of their phones.
If you are able to modify device's boot-loader - means unlock it, then in turn you are able to load whatever Andoid OS you want (clearly and obviously, as long as it works in that device) and root it.
I own a Verizon Galaxy S4, and it has the PL1 firmware, I spent entire days searching to unlock the bootloader or downgrade to the android 4.4.2 firmware. I can't afford another phone for quite a while, and VoLTE is not supported, always in 3G. does anyone here has or know any way/ways to unlock the bootloader? I mean, the device was released in 2013, I quite sure there would be some methods to unlock the bootloader, right? Anyone? Please help?
Found anything yet?
I currently have both the T-Mobile version and I purchased an unlocked version from BestBuy.
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/oneplus-nord-n200-5g-blue-quantum-64gb-unlocked-blue-quantum/6468089.p?skuId=6468089
Are there physical differences to these two phones or are they just running different software?
EDIT I looks like its not possible to unlock the bootloader of the T-Mobile version just yet and I have been doing some searching and it looks like the unlocked version is closer to being unlocked. If anyone can confirm a way to bootloader unlock either I would appreciate it.
My end goal here is to get access to Unlocked/Uncapped tethering without having to use a 3rdparty app or companion app. The ability to flash custom ROMs and root access. But also the ability to flash back to a 100% stock rom.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
EDIT I see now you can get the bootloader unlocked on both version by sending a token to Oneplus and waiting 7 days.

The only physical difference is that the T-Mobile version has the IMEI engraved onto the back of the phone while the unlocked variant does not and the original boxes are slightly different.
Both phones run different software. It is possible to flash the unlocked ROM to the T-Mobile version of the phone after unlocking the bootloader, but that breaks OTA.

You may find this useful with the T-Mobile variant: CLICK HERE
All the info you need to get your bootloader unlocked for the T-Mobile variant.
There's even a single adb command that will ungrey the OEM unlock option in the developer settings without a SIM unlock (you'll still need the unlock token from OP though):
The Quest for a Bootloader Unlock (partial guide, T-Mobile variant, may work for MetroPCS/Metro variant)
OK, this process has been hell, but I'm gonna try and consolidate everything I've worked out so far in one place. This all applies only to the T-Mobile variant (ie. it comes preloaded with all the T-Mobile bloatware) of the N200 on the T-Mobile...
forum.xda-developers.com
does unlocked version has dual sim capability and dual sim tray??
I'm trying to do the same thing with the N200 for a hostpot @xVoidx . I'm curious if you succeeded, and what ROM did you end up using to do it?
I have this phone fully bootloader unlocked. can someone direct me to a tmobile variant rom? or something thatll change it from tmobile to unlocked?
