Hello Guys and Girls!
I am about to buy a new LG V10 H960a in Germany.
Currently I am using a Galaxy Note 3 which is still a great machine, but I think it is time to switch to a new phone with more speed, better camera and better sound.
I do not game, but listen to a lot of music and take a lot of photos and videos.
At the moment, my phone running stock Android 4.4.4 is rooted, has Xposed and is encrypted.
My question:
After officially unlocking the bootloader on the V10, will I be able to:
Root + install Xposed (Xprivacy, Greenify) + ENCRYPT the device on Stock Marshmallow? (I am not going to install custom roms). Does the method [adb -> pkill -KILL daemonsu] still work? If not, which way do I have to choose?
Also, if I ENCRYPT my device, could you tell me more about the unlocking mechanism?
1. After booting, what is the maximum of letters and numbers possible in the password field [16?]?
2. Is it possible to unlock with the fingerprint sensor after entering a password once after booting?
3. I did not find much info or looked in the wrong place: Generally unlocking with fingerprint, do you have to press once to both wake and unlock or do I have to press twice for wake and once again for unlock?
Thank you very much!

Hi ndroiduzer,
I'm not able to answer your questions regarding encryption as I currently don't use ist but I will try for the rest.
After officially unlocking the bootloader on the V10, will I be able to:
Root + install Xposed (Xprivacy, Greenify) + ENCRYPT the device on Stock Marshmallow?

Yes, root and installing xposed is possible. I don't know about encryption. The Option is still there but as I don't use it I cannot confirm it is still working after bootloader unlock.
Unlocking with fingerprint:
Genarally you have to enter the alternative code (PIN, Pattern, Password) after reboot once before you can unlock you phone with your fingerprint. There is a module for Xposed called "FingerprintEnabler". If you have installed it you can unlock your phone with your fingerprint directly after reboot. You don't have to enter your PIN/Pattern/Password first.
To unlock your phone with the fingerprint you place your finger on the sensor (which is the power button) and press the button once to activate the screen. Just leave your finger on the sensor and the phone will unlock. If you have a flip case which activates the screen when you open it, you just need to place your finger on the sensor.
I hope this clarifies things a bit.
Thank you a lot for your thorough explanations!
Nice to hear, one does not have to press twice to unlock.

You should be very carefull while installing the drivers of your device. This technique will not work without installing the specific drivers.

A window command will prompt and then you just need to type the following:
adb shell
cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
sqlite3 settings.db
update system set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock';
update system set value=0 where name='lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently';
.quit

I can unlock my phone OK with my fingerprint, but I can't remember my pattern unlock (well, I think I can, but the phone doesn't accept it). I need the pattern to modify the fingerprint unlock, e.g. to add more fingers. Anyone know how to reset the pattern when fingerprint is working OK?
I'm on stock .253.

Thanks. I think this would have worked, or I could have used myxperia.sonymobile.com similarly. Unfortunately I rebooted the phone, and it turns out, even with fingerprint enabled, that it needs a pattern to unlock the first time after rebooting! I had to wipe it with Xperia Companion (there seems to be no on-device recovery user interface that we can use), which was annoying.
I've now set it up again and made very sure I knew the pattern before adding fingerprints!

Oops!
Avoid and pass by a fool and a madman
I guess we have to somehow unlock the bootloader again! when I switch slot and reboot the bootloader it says locked on Android 10 slot, and unlocked on Android 9 slot.
I tried :
Code:
fastboot oem bs_unlock
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Neither worked I also tried MI unlock tool but it still can't unlock it. The only way was to reboot the bootloader into Android 9 slot then flash the patched boot.img but the phone won't load the OS it just keep rebooting very fast. (this is also happens when tring to flash stock boot which I pulled using TWRP)
I had to hold both volume keys buttons + power while connect it to the PC "USB. must be connected" and when it reboot into black screen then I hold volume down key + power for around 60 seconds to boot into bootloader again.
I will try again tomorrow with different approach.

Yes.. MIUI has completely different unlock management from JoyUI. I didn't try it yet, but if JoyUI11 goes to perfect same unlock management of MIUI, I guess we need to sign in MI account, submit unlock request, waiting 360 or 720 hours, then we could receive the unlock key/permission. I didn't think they change it that much.... they could change the dm-verify or something else also... but, if they didn't change it so much, I guess we maybe can use the unlock key in Android 9 bootloader. (Certain MiUI devices have no key to unlock the bootloader even if we know the unlock command...)
I believe you will find the way. Good luck...

I tried using MUI but it doesn't work yet, maybe it future, but surely they changed the way of unlocking the bootloader, maybe they want to make it simpler so they can use MIUI unlock tool or maybe they want to make it harder since the unlocking code is available online :silly:.
I also tried to root it using Magisk manager while on Android 9 slot, but that didn't work either.
Other things to note, after updating to JoyUI 11 the phone takes significantly more time to boot, also you need to factory reset your phone to be able to boot it. Moreover, don't like the feel of the UI, the OS feel heavy and strangely some stock apps have ads in it. On top of all that, it is very difficult to root it right now if even possible at the moment.
Therefore, I don't recommend anyone to upgrade to Joy UI 11, and wait for further updates.
To anyone needs to downgrade Black Shark 2 Pro go to the bottom of the first post.
Thanks @wga0, I will let you know if I find anything new.
thank u so much im take maybe 1 month about this comm thx

Hi. After restarting the device, it wants us to pattern unlock for the first time. (Eventho i have fingerprint, it wont accept it). Why all roms want tis kind of method as first unlock after the restart. Just curious to know tat is there any method to bypass this.
Fingerprint unlocking is not as reliable as gesture or password unlocking.
So if the fingerprint scan fails, you may never be able to get into your phone again.
Therefore, more reliable identification is required for triggering.
If it can be bypassed, then it doesn't even have to be there.
You can use taichi module and customiuiser from playstore
Hello! So I am on a journey to attempt to root a Samsung tab a7 lite sm-t227u. So I want to be extremely transparent as to my reason for rooting:
I was given this tablet by my father whom got it from a previous job. When he left the job they never asked for it back, a long with a good bit of supplies he had that he got to keep.
So, I have this tablet, I can get into it as it doesn't have a passcode. I have wiped it by factory reset as well. However, it has IBM's MAAS360 installed and after factory reset AND a firmware flash using odin I still cannot get rid of this maas360 mdm. It is not Knox locked. I can activate developer mode and change all those settings, but I cannot download any apps through the app store at all or enable unknown source app install as those are under an IT block. I also do not have the OEM unlock option in dev options. I've tried the whole changing the date and connecting to wifi, with and without sim card but I cannot get this option to show, nor can I unlock the bootload through fastboot.
I have read that most of the new samsung phones do not have a bootloader unlock option, but from what I can tell that is specific to the snapdragon phones, and this tablet is running a mediatek chip.
Now, if I can remove mdm restrictions without rooting that's great, but I have a feeling that is the only way to properly flash this thing to completely remove the mdm.
I have tried the recovery tar that is posted in this forum but I cannot get it to flash, likely because I still don't have an unlocked bootloader
Have any of you all faced something similar or know of a solution? I may call the company the mdm is managed by and just see if they will remove it from their system, but I find it highly unlikely.
SM-T227U is an American model wich doesn't have the OEM unlocking option, you could unlock using unofficial ways but those are not pretty "stable".

Hey man! Still got your tab 7? I also have a SM-T227U and have oem unlocked! After doing the usual stuff, you will want to turn off automatically update in developer settings. After that, go to settings>General management>Date and time and select manual time and date, and set it for exactly 10 days before the day you attempt this. OEM unlock will appear in dev settings!!!
Then turn off device and while holding power up + power down, plug into PC. It will show the pre-download mode screen where it asks if you want to continue. Just follow the on screen instructions to unlock bootloader!
*note that the bootloader unlocking results in an unavoidable factory reset**

Sweet! I will absolutely try this when I get home this afternoon, will report back with results!
But just for clarity. Let's say I start with a freshly wiped tablet. Go through set up and connect to wifi, do I need to add a Google and Samsung account? Then in dev settings, enable USB debugging, also enable wifi debugging? Then change the date. Is there any step I am missing?

If it has Mediatek chipset then you can use SP flash tool to format the tablet firmware and reflash it.
I would strongly recommend you to backup the NV DATA and NVRAM files before you format the tablet.

You can follow this guide actually! ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...220-t225-install-lsposed-magisk-mods.4406933/) it recommends just skipping the setup junk
I have found that many times, rooting methods work across different models of the same device unless there are some sort of major differences in chipsets or some sort of random change lol
The only thing that doesn't seem to work for our model is section V of the guide which is for the removal of the "bootloader is unlocked" screen at startup. so you will still need to press the power button on that screen to boot up. It's a tiny hassle, but otherwise no big deal in my personal opinion
Make sure to read all the way to the end of the root section (section 4) and especially remember step 7. I retried probably 4 times and even patched the entire AP file of the firmware for use in odin (doing this gives a second warning on Knox screen that it isn't samsung official fw then boots normally into the bootlogo screen) before realizing everything was going fine.. I recommend just using the patched Magisk boot.img first just because I find it unsightly
Just flash the boot.tar in the AP slot. Don't download any of the boot imgs from the guide because they are for the t220's and t225's. I'll link the one I made according to the guide below. It'll save you some time and you won't need to install zarchiver and Magick just to have it factory reset again lol. Just download the latest Magisk apk (26.1) from the official github (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases) and install it when you have completed the 2nd factory reset/the patched boot img install.
