Hi Fellow Users!
I just bought LG v10 yesterday with international warranty even though i live in UAE, the problem is i am following all the steps from "step by step guide to root for tmo" but unfortunately i am not able to boot into phone recovery which is odd for me as i am a long time user of android, is that possible my phone doesn't have one? I tried everything adb, manually but nothing worked, i once booted my phone into recovery via adb but i saw green android picture with no command written on it and fastboot didn't worked there so there is that.
1) i tried dirty_cow but stuck at getenforce "permissive didn't appeared which is must needed, i think its related to my bootloader"
2) should i follow LGUP procedure even i am not sure my bootloader is unlocked?
P.S my phone is TMO although its unlocked to use any network.
Please advise, thank you
Unfortunately flashing KDZ file bricked my phone, :crying:
Now its just off it doesn't turn on tried everything any advise?
Update: Went to LG TechServe and handed over my phone to re-flash the original firmware, bad thing they don't cover international warranties as i live in UAE and the model i have is TMO with international warranty so there's that.
Reason to share the story, may people learn from this.
Have you tried with Kingroot app or kingoroot app? These apps can root many devices.

Hello, I made the mistake of trying to use a remote unlocking service on eBay to unlock my LS992, but the person performing the operation somehow managed to brick my phone. The device is stuck on download mode, and though he attempted to re-flash the firmware it was unsuccessful. I was on the line with him for several hours with no fix in sight. He claims that the phone was on software version ZVA, but I am unable to confirm that as the phone is bricked, however, when I connect to LGUP it reports the version as LS992V3. I'm not sure if it is correct.
So the bottom line is, I would like to try to reflash the phone for myself, but I am unable to find the .dll files for the Sprint variant anywhere to flash with LG UP. I'm also unsure of what version stock firmware I should flash, as he said that flashing the wrong firmware might hard brick. Any insight on what to do will be greatly appreciated, or at the very the correct .dll file to use when flashing.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
I have looked online and tried following guides on this phone but no luck, fast-boot doesn't work via ADB and button combo. I think vodafone may have disabled fast-boot and in that case i don't know what to do. I cant unlock the bootloader except for the allow unlock bootloader switch in dev settings which i have turned on. Ill try and dump the full system when i can using SP if it works so may help with getting this phone rooted. I can't find a scatter file and all methods of root have failed so far. Its running android 6 and i guess its method would be similar to the optus veriant of it. I dont really know what im doing but am willing to try anything, follow anyones advice or guides as a successful method could be documented and help other people in similar situations to me
I have an European version of LG V10 H960a, Android 6.0. The official LG website provides an instruction how to generate an boot image for this phone with adb and fastboot. I did everything according to their instructions, I generated a device ID,I put both dev ID and IMEI to proper boxes in their website and after clicking "Confirm" each single time I received a message "Device ID is unmatched. Please check device ID...". I have been trying to repeat whole process by connecting via VPN from Polish IP number, because phone was bought in Poland while currently I am in UK. I created new account, I did everything accordingly to their instructions and still same. I have tried to contact with LG via email address given on their unlocking website [email protected] but they even did not bother to answer my emails and I tried to contact them TWICE! If someone have an idea how to unlock bootloader please help.
Regards
Voytek
Mu bootloader is unlocked BUT it does not have a write command... Its been removed and I cannot write a file to the rom through ADB. It says its successful but nothing writes to the rom. There is NOTHING I can do to root it short of removing the device and copying an image of the boot partition to it through Octopus or something like that. I'm pretty good with the V10 (H901) and have rooted several over a couple of years in succession until it dies with the usual bootloop hardware issue on the motherboard. I'm certain it's the most unreliable smartphone out there. I'm at the point of throwing the damn thing against a wall and being DONE with ALL of LG products forever.
hello. first of all i don't speak english and i use google translate and i'm sorry for that.
I have an asus-me302kl tablet. I wanted to install twrp but now it's locked. I installed firmware with rawdate but it has no function. I need help unlocking the bootloader. recovery mode does not turn on either. I am wondering if there is a pat file or some other method to unlock the bootloader. Thanks in advance. I hope I was able to explain myself.
please help

This low-end tablet is heavily outdated ( 7 years old ), means you won't find a TWRP suitable to it.

First of all, thanks for the answer. this tablet is a customer tablet. and it's my fault that it's locked. For this I need to unlock the bootloader. is there no tool to flash the software? I managed to install the .rawdata firmware. and the device has root permission but I couldn't go further. Now I'm waiting like this.
@civan34
My suggestion:
Re-flash tablet's Stock ROM ( is a ZIP-file ) to bring tablet back to its initial state ( what includes flashing the Stock Recovery ).
When that's done you can start to unlock tablet's bootloader by means of Fastboot, if it's not denied by OEM/Carrier.
If tablet's bootloader got successfully unlocked you can try to flash LineageOS v15 ( Android 8 Oreo ) onto tablet.

I can't install the stock firmware. Doesn't allow flashing over fastboot. Doesn't allow flashing via recovery mode. Is there a program to install stock firmware?
@civan34
A Stock ROM gets flashed by means of ADB
Example command sequence:
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot sideload
adb sideload <FULL_PATH_TO_STOCK_ROM_ZIP_ON_PC>
adb reboot

I am a little novice at the command line and do not know how to type the command you typed. Should I type as you wrote, or do I need to change the name of the zip on the computer?
my command
(adb sideload stock.zip) and I get read error for this command.Since I don't speak English, I didn't understand exactly how to write the command. I don't want to overwhelm you, sorry for that
I'm in the same boat.
I picked up 4 of these from an auction. I can't unlock any of them, because the Asus tool, (ME302KL_UnlockTool_Instructions) zip file, no longer works. TWRP is available 3.2, link is below. I have rolled back to the stock ROM on 2 of the machines, no joy. Any suggestions or guidance, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I contacted Asus a few times about this Bootloader issue, but today I took a different approach. It appears they Blacklisted the ME302KL from the servers, because it is EOL. I made it clear to them. that I can't access the Asus Cloud or any other Asus tool loaded on the machine and I can't do OTA updates either. I made it clear that I should be able to at a minimum be able to upgrade to 4.4.4 from 4.2.2 after resetting the device. They agreed and are escalating the issue up the food chain.
My hope is they remove it from the blacklist which will fix the "Network Error" message when trying to use the Unlock Tool for the bootloader. I will circle back around, once I hear back from them....

No joy. Asus says they are under contract with AT&T. The ME302KL has been black listed and Asus will not add it back to the unlock tool or provide any support AT ALL!. They keep telling me the unlock tool isn't theirs. But the amount of times Asus's name is used in the EULA, tells me otherwise. I'm waiting to hear back from AT&T on their position on the matter. Stay tuned...
Ok campers, i have a work around for the ME302KL AT&T bootloader issue. I just verified AT&T can unlock the devices, they just verified 3 devices for me. Only catch, you have to have an account with them.
So, If you like people actually being able to hear you on a call, you probably have a different service, like i do. Based on the call, there are really only 2 options. Option 1, Harassment. Someone you know, has them as their provider. A family member, a friend maybe your priest. So, my suggestion is to harass them into they adding the device, under their plan. They only need to do it long enough, for you to get it upgraded. Once AT&T unlocks it, upgrade the OS, add TWRP and create a custom recovery that never goes back to KitKat. then, have them cancel it off their account. At the most, you're looking at $25 for the month, if anything at all.
Option 2 - Go Prepaid for a couple of months. This one is tricky based on the T&C's on their website. You will need to create a new account, $30 for 5 5gb a month. No contract and what you don't use, rolls over to the next month. Make sure to read their T&C's ased on new prepaid accounts with BYOD. I told the agent I wanted to Only use broadband service, no phone for when im working in the field, until i'm still under contract with Verizon. She pitched services, i dodged and evaded. She told me a month to month prepaid plan was doable, to get it unlocked. They would be able to unlock it for free and so i could upgrade the OS. So, it's not too terrible, just annoying to jump through so many hoops. The first option, would be the easiest.
These are just suggestions. I take no responsibility if you brick the device once it's unlocked. It is AT&T and the device may be commiting suicide in lieu of being on their Network. :0)
I sent the message to AT&T with imei of my ME302KL but the answer is been "the manufacturer doesn't have an unlock code for this device".
Help me to unlock my device.

@ladlabaloch512
Perhaps your device has the same "OEM unlock" block like mine.
On mine I was supposed to wait 7d after turning on dev options.
I bypassed that by
1. switching to airplane mode
2. Setting manually date back one month
3. Restart (still in airplane mode)
4. Turning off airplane mode and let it sync date
and voila OEM unlock option was there.
Perhaps that works on your device as well.

Keep us updated.. I'd like to get my OEM unlock to come out of hiding.. this is frustrsting.. i see all these tutorials for the A02s root, twrp and ROMs and whatnot and I'm itching to get flashing!
Is it possible to flash an unlocked carrier firmware in ODIN and then be able to unlock OEM? Without carrier issues or anything? I'm a little nervous to be the first to try.. and not sure where to find US unlocked carrier firmware or if location even matters... I have the SM-A025AZ (US Cricket variant).. I guess as long as Download Mode (fastboot) is still accessible I could just flash the Cricket version back to the device.. bricked my LG-E980 back in the day.. took me a few months how to get it back up and running with LG flash tool.. i just dont want to repeat that fiasco lol... so anybody got any updates on hacking this OEM (un)lock bs??? Or any idea on flashing some other variant to the device without interrupting carrier stuff??.. seems like alot just to get a damn virtual switch to turn on.. but damnit I need root access! Lol.. about to just exchange this phone for an actual rootable phone.. i disagree with charging for hotspot.. that should be illegal.. getting charged twice to use th same bs internet.. eff that.. i just want Rooooooot!!!
Hello,
I have also been having these troubles, with no way to unlock oem after stock flash, and the closest I've got to finding a solution was this, but I simply cannot find samsung's bootloader unlocking form like it says in the guide. I bought my phone just for a bootloader unlockable version (A025M), and now I am very angry at samsung.
also, since over a 1000 hours have gone by since last post, have any one of you solved this issue just by waiting?

its not only samsung that does this, many other companies like motorola does this. Dont be angry, just try a different device. Also, snapdragon US models (i dont think) arent able to be unlocked. If its a mediatek model and isnt sim/carrier locked, u can try MTKClient
