I have a T mobile sim card on the way in the mail and it should be here by tomorrow or thursday. My service is locked to ATT. I thought my phone was rooted and unlocked until I put someone elses sim into my phone and went to a cell phone store that was going to charge me $60 to unlock my phone. I guess my root method didn't work. There are so many year old threads that I don't know which ones are useful and which ones will not leave me with a bricked phone.
So my questions are:
What is the best method of rooting and also having bootloader?
What is the best method to unlock my phone afterwards?
Can someone give me clear instructions?
:crying:
download flashtool 0.9 from the following link and you can root. unlock bootloader and flash Clock Work Recovery (CWM), busybox and anything else you want to...
But are asking about unlocking bootloader or unlocking SIM..??

Flashtool is the safest way (and easiest by far) to root. You connect your phone in debugging mode and click the button por root and done.
Root=/=SIM unlock

I have superuser and artas CWM. I am running P769BK. I want to install a new ROM but want to avoid a security error again. Any tips?
I searched here and Google and found nothing. If I need to go to another thread I will.

Same here man i had unlocked the bootloader a while back before the JB upgrade was gonna try a Rom so decide to flash recovery and got the Sec error did all reflashed KDZ back on JB rooted and with artas recovery they say once you unlock the bootlader it stays that way, anyways did all the steps again to unlock, but boot normal and i have no way of checking... How can we know or check that the bootloader is unlocked??
Anyone????
If you have unlocked your bootloader, you would know
anyways here are a couple of ways to check, because y'all still want to check
1. Dial the number EVIL#*769# (3845#*769#) this will get you into the hidden menu
note: if you have a P760 change number to 3845#*760# change the last number/digit to whatever your device is
Once in that menu look for the bootloader tab, if it doesn't have it, sorry the kdz you are on doesn't show if it's unlocked or not.
2. Put your phone in the s/w upgrade mode, it should show unlocked bootloader
3. Another way to check is to fastboot and flash a custom recovery for your device BUT first extract your current recovery.img in case you receive a security error. However, I would advice y'all don't fastboot and flash anything unless you really know what y'all are doing. You have been warned!!!

In your case @elpuertorro you have to flash the u-boot.img from a P760 v20B
I uploaded the u-boot here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43386521&postcount=14
Another thing, if you did in deed unlock your bootloader, flashing a new kdz will (should not) not replace the u-boot.img. All P769 or LGMS769 will know right away if their bootloader is unlocked because the "LG" letters will be inverted when your boot up the phone (unless you flashed a u-boot.img from a P769).
Thanks! This are my unfortunate results.
I did not see the menu. I did the offline flash of V20_00
Nothing about unlocked bootloader
Yeah... I don't feel confident enough to try this again. Not yet.
Oh well. I'll wait longer until I feel better about what I am trying.
I have the P769BKGO GSM unlocked using Net10. So I think I won't be able to do the adb reboot oem-unlock trick. Other thoughts? Is flashing a different KDZ the only other route?

Thanks kuma the thing is i did this when i got the phone back in Jan so as you can see by now what ever i did is a bit of a blur, (short time mem loss you know lol) but i did recall doing it and have my folder set up for my phone, but to try to remember what or how and what tut i followed is the problem...but it's cool because i was looking for
V20b and since i could find one yesterday talking to carloswii for a copy asked if V20c would work as he didn't know figured i will try it and report back for the benefit of all....so that's next today
ps Kuma that's great advice but hey @thchipmunk don't be scared man is scary reading all but once you do it like 2 times it's all smooth plus with th KDZ offline method this cel comes back to life in no time so far as they have said you can't brick this phone even if you tried lol. to the rest stick with kuma's advice lol.
I am mostly just scared because it took me forever to get the KDZ to flash again. I kept getting that the USB was not connected to the phone so I wasn't able to ever complete the flash.
I do wonder though, if I would be able to unlock the bootloader. I see the directions say you need to wait 30+ minutes once connected, I assume this is some restriction in place on the actual phone with the SIM. However, I have an ATT SIM that I am using through NET10. Will that matter?

Been there , done that lol
By anychance when that happened to you
1 you were connecting the phone on lg software mode? that's what it should be and i'm sure you was
2 if you did, was it giving you errors about installing drivers failed?? that happens to me sometimes so i just restart the pc and then the phone get's recognized.
just remember sometimes we have to hit that skip that pops up when it's searching for drivers on the phone.... worse comes to worse reinstall the drivers for the phone hope this helps you out man.
Hello guys,
I've been trying to root this phone since i've bought it, problem is every option i read on the web doesnt work because phone's bootloader is locked, and all methods get to this point when u have to unlock ur phone bootloader but in order to do that u have to get in the phone bootloader wich is locked. So who the hell is giving advices like these i dont know. Problem is that i am motivated to still root it, nothing its impossible.
So i am asking, did anyone from EU, with the EU ROM (full of mallware) MIUI 8, managed to unlock its bootloader and then managed to root it ?! please lets discuss here the options that work and the options that didnt work so we can make it through and solve this problem, everything thats on web at this moment 27-11-2016 doesnt work on the False EU MIUI 8.
Thanks.

Not posibble without unlocked bootloader. Even the pre-rooted China Developer rom needs phone with unlocked bootloader. Good luck with unlocking the bootloader.
EU ROM full of malware?!?! Where did you get that idea? Completely false.
Anyway as said, yes you do need to unlock bootloader. Impossible any other way, because the system has dm-verity (similar to HTC S-On) which prevents modification to /system. So if you can't modify system or boot partition then you can't put Superuser binaries anywhere. Unlocked bootloader allows to put Superuser on boot pertition.

Can't we just flash a recovery-that can disable dm-verity using SP Flash and root the phone that way?
I am guessing not because no one has said it works
I'm getting rly impatient because I still havent got my bootloader unlock request approved yet lol

No because dm-verity is enabled/set in the kernel (ramdisk on boot partition), and if you modify the boot partition with a locked bootloader then it won't boot
Locked bootloader = prevents boot partition from being tampered with
dm-verity = set in boot partition, prevents system partition from being tampered with
So you simply need to unlock bootloader, there is just no other way to exploit the device (no possible attack vector). The device is very secure, like all Marshmallow devices.
So what is this false EU firmware you speak of? Obviously not the xiaomi.eu one because that requires unlocked bootloader.
You can flash global stable via SP Flash Tool, that's your best bet while waiting for bootloader unlock. If it's taking more than 1 week then you can contact official support or something via en.miui.com forum (its down at the moment for some reason).

You can download it for free, just search for MiFlash - it's not a secret tool or anything.
Attempting to see what actually happens...? Even if I had the skills to reverse engineer MediaTek security, I wouldn't do it.
You're trying to do such simple things to trick the system but you need to realize that this hardware has been verified by Google themselves as secure and safe enough for Android Pay and SafetyNet and such. It *can not* be easily cracked, accept it.
Replacing recovery.img with TWRP? Seriously? How dumb do you think these companies are? Sorry for being rude but you really are just being silly.
You are wasting your own time, and now mine too... Sorry but I'm going to unsubscribe now because these questions are just getting silly.

Man, I did not know that xiaomi actually put that much effort on making their mediatek phones actually google levels of secure.
Was always under the impression that they sorta skimped out on their mediatek lines (as they had before).
Now I'll just not try to unlock it unofficially lol

They had before sure, but in the recent year or so (since they started actually locking bootloaders) things changed - they want to target international market too.
Only reason the devices are not sold globally is because of some Mediatek patent/legal battle or something, not too sure (it's literally the only reason why they have snapdragon "pro" versions). But the device has a global firmware sold in Taiwan and some other places, and it is Google CTS certified (preinstalled with Google Play) and, since it's Marshmallow, requires all kinds of Google-approved security measures these days, which a lot of countries need legally too, so yeah.
Glad you understand. I read that if it takes too long to get unlock code, you should try/already be flashed on China dev ROM - so do that if you have not already.
Have you tried the unlocking link on this link? http://xiaomi-mi.com/redmi-note-4/
A month ago I unlocked the bootloader to get root access but i started getting troubles with some apps. Today i decided to return it to stock so i did what i used to do with my nexus devices that was to flash clean firmware(the one from the this forum) and re lock bootloader.
After the bootloader lock I got the message that my device was corrupted and wasn't able to boot. I used the Msmdownload tool to fix it. Everything was great until I realized there was no bootloader or modem versions in the bootloader. Also I am not getting the latest update.
TL;DR
Unlocked to root
Root caused problems
Factory reset, clean firmware flash, oem lock
Device corrupted message, no boot
MsmDownloadTool to unbrick.
Can boot into system
No boot or baseband version, no february update.
You faked up with restoring device after device is corrupted message

So what is the correct method how I'd he mess up the restore. I used the msm tool just like I did on my op6t is there something new to do it correctly on op7tpro?

No, but in this case he should leave bootloader unlocked because relocking after unlock is buggy and somethins is corrupted like it was in my case and they had to replace mobo.

This states that you can flash TWRP with this tool. Is that actually accurate? We haven't had a working custom recovery that can be flashed onto the device thus far. Sorry if it sounds overly skeptical, I'm just going based off the information we've had so far.

The TWRP in the tool is not fully functional, but you can use it to root your device.
Root Guide:
So you should go in "recovery flasher and rooter" option, there you have to select the only TWRP available, check if "only boot" is checked, check "root after boot", select magisk 20.4 and click on the button at the bottom of the page. The TWRP will be booted and magisk flashed, and then from TWRP you can manually reboot to system and your device will be correctly rooted.

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification!
Thanks for the download and thank you so much for creating this tool! I haven't yet rooted my 7T Pro McLaren on T-Mobile yet but this is definitely going to make it a lot easier by the looks of it.
I assume this requires you already have your unlock token?
I installed RR the other day but it is not seeing my SIM card and won't connect to WiFi so I'm looking for a tool that will help me revert back to stock OS for my HD1925 OP7TPro McLaren device. I downloaded OB11-OnePlus7ProOxygen_13.W.29_OTA_029_all_2003130822_1b7c-FASTBOOT.zip and tried to flash using this tool but the installation fails at ODM saying that there is no such partition. Is there any advice you could offer it would be very much appreciated!
I was able to boot into EDL and restore then update the OS so everything is working great now. Thank you so much for your amazing work!
Confirming I was able to root without issue using this method.
Hi, every time I do the install for TWRP and magisk I try to boot the phone afterwards and I get a message that says "no OS installed" is there anything that I need to do after installing TWRP and magisk? Because I can't boot the phone cause installing TWRP apparently deletes the OS completely. The bootloader unlock method works perfectly, it's just the TWRP and magisk that are messing up my phone.
Thanks in advance.
I dont suppose you will be making a Linux version would you? Only have linux on my computers
I think you need to switch a or b partition with fastboot after you are done with flashing magisk. Maybe the function to switch from a to b or b to a works inside twrp but I just read that this is not a fully functional version and I haven't decided if I want to use your tool or just root the traditional way. The command is fastboot --set-active=a
Or fastboot --set-active=b

I answered you two posts up but didn't reply directly to you so it's just a couple comments into the next page.
am i right that bootloader unlock formats your install? also i saw in may saying twrp wasnt fully functional yet is it now? if it is is there a zip for it?
Did you find out if you have to get an unlock token from tmobile for this to work? Does the bootloader need to be unlocked in order to run twrp.
unlock without root
Hi will this tool allow you to carrier unlock the phone From my understanding you can unlock boot loader and then root and unlock
Is there a way to not keep the root and still carrier unlock the phone it’s a 7t pro maclaren
It’s got a user that is kit very tech savvy and he would like to keep the update os without any extra steps

Carrier unlock cannot be achieved without T-Mobile white listing and carrier unlocking the device. This tool allows you to unlock the bootloader without needing to have a carrier unlock. By unlocking the bootloader you gain the ability to fastboot boot TWRP, although the available ports of TWRP for this device is not yet fully functional.
if your device has an unlocked bootloader then you will not be able to take OTA updates from OnePlus/TMO. So if your friend is not tech savvy and does not want to manually install stock firmware... Then you should not use this tool at all or unlock his bootloader.
Your desire to carry your unlock can only be satisfied by having the device paid off in full and requesting a carrier unlock from T-Mobile. OnePlus can only provide and unlock token for the bootloader, they have nothing to do with the stock T-Mobile firmware nor the ability to carry your unlock. And this tool allows you to bypass the carrier unlock to achieve a bootloader unlock without needing the token from OnePlus.
Hope that clears up any confusion for you :good:

You do not need to unlock the bootloader or root the device in order to do a carrier unlock. You just need to satisfy the terms and conditions set by T-Mobile and they will provide you with a carrier unlock.
Although this device is LTE only as the international version, and 5G capable for the T-Mobile version. Carrier unlocking the T-Mobile version and using with a different carrier.... You will still require firmware which is only provided by T-Mobile so it has their branding and bloatware included. Not sure if that would conflict with another carrier. And 5G will only work on T-Mobile's Network.

Just to expound on this very concise reply, I have had good luck on multiple occasions getting Tmo to carrier unlock the devices ( I have 2 of the HD1915's on my account ) using their Twitter support group. I find that the Tmo Business Support is quicker to unlock than the standard consumer support staff. It makes no difference that you don't have a business account/etc, they will help you regardless. I simply tell them that I'm going out of the country for several months and want to be able to use my shiny new device while I'm away- they will tell you lots of things about temporary unlocks for 30 days, and permanent unlocks, and the requirements to satisfy to be qualified for each, but at the end of the day all you need them to do is grant you a temporary 30-day carrier unlock. When you follow the instructions to go into your settings and unlock the device you'll see two options: the temp unlock and a PERMANENT unlock. It doesn't matter that you've said you want only the temp unlock, once they update their system to allow the unlock just select the PERMANENT UNLOCK anyway and it WILL successfully and PERMANENTLY unlock your device. I've done this several times and can confirm it DOES work. I think the only requirement for a temp unlock is to have two EIP payments made on the device if you've just purchased. You can make those payments at once or however you'd like, but that's really all they are going to REQUIRE from you to provide you with a "TEMP" unlock.....except the "temp" unlock is going to actually allow you to PERMANENTLY unlock the device.....capisce?
Just got a TMobile Oneplus 7T Pro Mclaren edition from offer up. I was somehow able to carrier unlock my using the service unlock tool with the SIM card it came with ??.
I noticed it has a Retail Mode app and Tech Specs app so I'm thinking it used to be a Retail unit but everything else works fine. I was able to add my Gmail account and setup the device just fine.
The only issue I have it is stuck on the October 2019 software version. Could somebody tell me if I can use this stuff on this thread to install the normal software because I think maybe that's why it won't update my phone to the latest software. I just want the phone to be in normal software version with no root or anything special. Just want it stock. Thanks in advance

If it's been rooted before, you may need to be rooted to have a working fingerprint. Do you still have contact info from the previous owner to see if they have any info about what's happened with the phone?
