So do the Frankenstein method.
Hello there, this is my first thread on this site. So if anything is wrong with this thread, please let me know.
So, I recently got a LG V30 US996 from Verizon.
I was looking to root it and found this thread here and was following the steps.
I would like to say that this is my first time rooting a phone. So please pardon my ignorance on this subject.
At the point where you go into the developer options and turn on "OEM Unlock" and "USB Debugging", I went to go turn them on and found "USB Debugging" but not "OEM Unlock".
Does anyone know if I did something wrong?
Is this because of Verizon?
If anyone has information on this problem or about rooting my device, please comment below.
Here is some information about the phone (Not sure if this is helpful but might as well add it):
Model Number: VS996.
Hardware Version: Rev.1.0
Android Version: 8.0.0
Android Security Patch Level: September 1, 2018
Kernel Version: 4.4.78-pref+ [email protected]
Software Version: VS99620f
Software Status: Official
Security Software Version: MDF v3.1 Release 2

Please, let's move this discussion to the WTF thread. That's what we're discussing.
Others who have done it besides me, who wrote the guide, can all answer questions, and it will help future users.

Hello everyone!
I decided to make an application on windows, based on a script to do root in some lg devices. The application has the root cause of functions and also enter adb shell. The root method is done by a script, but due to the GUI created by me, the process becomes simpler.

Great !
Will it void my warranty (I've go a g3 with lollipop). Sorry if i'm not so expert
You can always unroot, via the built in option in Supersu. Besides, why root if you're so concerned about the warranty?
Because I bought it 2 weeks ago. But I think I won't root it right now, it's not so necessary... I think I'll wait

Then you either need to ask your brother to answer the questions I posed; or you need start learning what the terms mean yourself. You won't get the phone up and running if you lack knowledge of the basic terms and concepts. Its impossible for us to help you, if you don't provide the basic information we need to do so.
You don't strictly need to post a pic. Just describe what you see on the screen.

Download the file linked on the following HTC support page: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-att/news/
Then follow the instructions on that same page under "Manual system update instructions"
This should get your phone up and running, and update it to current Lollipop at the same time.
Then, don't mess with the phone (or let anyone else) unless you do the proper knowledge and research on this specific device. Your brother didn't successfully unlock the bootloader (based on your last post) and rendered the phone unbootable; so it seems that he did it wrong, and/or didn't know how to recover for a very common no-bot condition (basic knowledge, if he knew what he was doing). Therefore, he had no business messing with the phone.
Also, please turn off your CAPS LOCK. All caps means YELLING on internet forums, and just generally bad etiquette. For that matter, I'd politely ask you to please capitalize properly like a normal person. It doesn't take any more time (and just a bit of effort) to capitalize properly. If folks taking their own time to help you can type/communicate properly, so can you.

Have you considered converting to US998 via the Frankenstien method? That is how I got Oreo on (what was) my H931.

Hello there, thanks for your reply.
I just explained my issue on this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/att-v30-h931-firmware-dump-t3781647/page4
Where you having the same issue?
If converting the phone is the only solution, i might have to do that. I'll look into the Frankenstien method.
Thanks!

AT&T doesn't release full image KDZ and they won't let LG do it. They only send over the air firmware update, and for those OTA updates you have to be an AT&T customer.
Best to Frankenstein convert to carrier unlocked model US998.

No, I was not having your specific issue, but I was unable to update to Oreo on my H931 I was using on another carrier. I see that you received solid advice from Chazz in that other thread. You should be good to go at this point.

booting video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u3eiiieVVk-NvYVHZnkYZLlXuCitfvX0/view?usp=sharing (two watches,my and my friend's)
I'll test the usability of Magisk and EdXposed in a few days. (and maybe TWRP)
Today I just come to share the joy, but unfortunately I will not open the unlock method until this person leaves the admin and apologizes to me.
In the afternoon, I produce a video of the results and share this joy in a Mi Watch group of Telegram that I joined from XDA, but one of the admin named Aytac (Telegram ID: 1007077001) stigmatized me for cheating and muted me forever, which infuriated me.
Since he says he has the ability to do it, let him tell the community how to unlock BootLoader.
I said you'll pay for it. Now it's time for me to keep my promise.
More images
**Not development ver! This is my Mi Watch Permium!**
Unfortunately, I broke the hardware when I was dismantling it, and now it's on its way back for repair.
I have written the tree for twrp of the device, and I will test it after the device returns.
Did you have to open the watch to unlock it? or was this possible via software method?

Sure, Xiaomi has reserved a software method, but it needs their internal signature, which is impossible to get.

Ha ha, I don't need your useless apologies for being late anymore. Anyway, the loss is yours. I will only share the resources that can be used after unlocking. By the way, tell him, take his dev device and play it himself. Good luck.
It's his choice to mute me few days ago, even ban me today. It's my choice to refuse to release the unlocking method.
Sorry I can't understand.
What exactly is the link between XDA and this Aytac?
If you have discovered something and want to share it with the community (which would be grateful for it) this is probably the right place but if your goal is just some sort of revenge this post becomes useless and its title is definitely misleading.

Hi all, I have a G8x that I got shortly after launch from AT&T that's never been able to receive an OTA update.
I've read online that an AT&T SIM is required to get updates, which I have. The OTA update menu just says that I'm up to date, currently on Android 9, software version G850UM10f
LG Bridge seems to connect to the phone, then says "Cannot check the software version. Try again." - I've tried every way I can to make it work, phone restarts, different cables, you name it and LG Bridge doesn't seem to like this phone either.
Do I have any options to get an update? I'd prefer not to flash it but if that's my only option I'm not completely against it. Does anyone have a good guide to do that, and where I can get the latest Android 12 firmware image?
Thanks in advance!
Keep it on 9. It's a great OS. If you go to the mess that's 12 it will suffer from the effects of cpu cycle sucking scoped storage among others horrors. Pie was the zenith for Goggle Android... in my opinion.
Rule #1 - if a OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission... let it be!!!
You're probably right, it's working fine. I just get a little worried when I see that Android security patch level from September 1, 2019!
I've been ignoring it for this long, I'll probably continue to ignore it until I get something newer. Still, just doesn't feel right!

This N10+ was last updated Nov 2019, current load is over 2 yo, still fast, stable with minimal maintenance. Security is not an issue.
Don't sweat it one bit but be ready to reload if needed; keep critical data redundantly backed up. A factory reset will purge any rootkit on Android 9 and up. I never had to reload my device because of malware though, it does very well.
Using Karma Firewall*, Package Disabler, I watch all downloads and especially installed apps**, wifi and NFC always disabled. I primarily use Brave browser and will backout, shutdown the window, browser, whatever, if I get on a really bad site... occasionally had to clear the cache. Email is always kept in the cloud.
I also use the setting change which blocks ads globally and some blacklisted sites.

You need a active AT&T account,not just the sim card.If you have that,all you have to do is call tech. support and let them add the IMEI so it will push the update OTA to the device.Fairly simple!
