So, my phone updated to this last night and I'm pretty pissed about it. The theme I paid for is no longer compatible, so that's neat. The recents app switcher is now oriented horizontally instead of vertically apple style so you can only see 1 or 2 apps at a time while scrolling vs like 5+. And...

I flashed Magisk numerous times, including after every single image I flashed in TWRP.. Is there any way to get back to TWRP now? Computer doesn't see my phone enough to use use patched LGUP or adb at this point. E: Was able to get back into TWRP. Redoing this process again. Cleared system...

Yeah I thought to try that which has apparently ****ed up things good and proper like now. TWRP said something about encryption when i flashed another KDZ file, something about the password being correct but encryption corrupting data. Now the phone boots, and goes to the :Decryption...

Curious if anyone has ideas on this. Flashlight still doesn't work (currently on 20h), and opening the camera app freezes the phone until I do a power+vol down reboot...

Hey guys, thanks so much for this writeup! I was able to make it through and get the Oreo KDZ flashed to my phone, and things seem relatively ok though I've been coming across some weird behaviors now. The first time I booted, the phone was refusing to allow me to toggle wifi on. As soon as I...

Thank you! I did download LGUP and Uppercut, but my machine is telling me that I do not have permission to access the uppercut .exe, I'm guessing it has to do with Windows trying to block it. When I open LGUP (installed as LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi), it throws error LGUP can't load the...

Hello, I bought my unlocked V30 used from Swappa last year, and it's a great phone. However, it's still on Android 7.1.2 and when I check for updates via the phone settings, it says nothing is available. I'm using it on Cricket Wireless as my carrier, and I know there's gotta be a newer version...

Even though the download for those says for H930?

Can anyone confirm if this will work on a Korean 'test model' LG-US998, kernel 4.4.63, software version US99810c and Android version 7.1.2?

Yeah, I was pissed about that whole situation with my G5 and now this... Damn shame, I like what LG has on their phones but this bootloader BS is making me want to ditch them and go to Xiaomi or some other unlock friendly platform.

So do I keep it and forgo any possibilities from root? I dunno.

Yeah, just 'unlocked raspberry rose' color. They are a member here but I won't call them out unless they want to participate; it's not their fault, the phone works exactly as described. I just didn't have the IMEI number to look up prior to buying it and seeing that it's a test model. It is...

That really sucks. I bought this specifically so I could root it. Do I have any options other than buying ANOTHER one that isn't a demo unit?

Hey guys, does this still work? I just got my US998 from a member on here today and it appears something isn't right with trying to unlock this. I did the steps in the OP/LG unlock guide and get this: What is this (TEST_GPIN) all about? Am I SOL? If it's relevant: my software version is...

Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting a V30, but I want the Lavender Violet colour so the 930DS appears to be the only option for me. However, I definitely would like to root it but I'm not getting any search results in the ROM section for 'H930DS'. Can I assume that any root/ROM software/methods...

Running my S3 with my LG G5. Works great

So, I got a Gear S3 Frontier at best buy last week, and it updated to Tizen 3 a few days ago. I found a local person selling theirs for half the price of new, so I returned the one I bought at best buy and bought the used one today (SM-R760). It's on Tizen 2.3.2.4, and both my phone and the...

Disregard this post because I read through the thread. Here's to hoping dev picks up with international models...

Yeah true. I use my phone at night to browse reddit and whatnot on the lowest brightness before bed but I don't think it's a big deal with so many objects on the screen in any given moment really. Kinda on the fence about the phone in general. It is very nice, but I just paid off the G5 to get...

I don't think root is coming to the G5. It's a damn shame.

Hmm, interesting. I ran that color fade script side by side on my LG G5, V30, and iPhone 7 simultaneously and other than a slightly bluer color on the v30 I didn't notice any other differences. Ran it on min and max brightness across all devices. I might just not know what to look for but seems...

Artifacts how? I just ran that on max and min brightness and other than the bottom of the screen looking slightly brighter, such that maybe the screen LEDs are there, I'm not noticing anything odd, but I might not know what to look for.

Yeah, I'm hoping *someone* from LG and/or ATT is on these boards because after I pay this phone off, both companies have lost me as a customer because this phone is locked down. I love the hardware, I love the interface, I love the camera, I love everything about the phone, and I see SO much...

This phone without root has frustrated me to no end because of this kind of stupid bull****. No more LG for me.

Yeah, I came from a G3. The ROMs and support on the device were incredible, and I expected the same on the G5, just with better hardware. Shame. I will probably just buy a used G3 and stick with it. Mine had no problems other than that I cracked the screen and the replacement had some quirks I...

Was anyone able to postpone the install? I chose to ignore the update, and woke up to it confirming to be installed. **** you lg, seriously.

Yup. I got notification of this last night, and woke up to it confirming to be installed this morning. Last time I ever buy an LG device

You should. I'm not too hopeful about things now. Nothing is happening.

Ah yeah I noticed it was from a while ago. I'm super upset about that, I absolutely am hating this phone without root. Honestly. I want to go back to my G3.

What the hell happened? I leave for like a week and come back to... what? What's the TLDR of that thread? Was that the original bounty thread? TF?

Thank you guys so much for your diligence on this!! Can I ask if this will still work with the latest ****ty unwanted update that was pushed? According to QuadRoot Scanner, I now have only CVE-2016-2504 now. If this relies on an exploit of the other CVEs I'll be sad :(

Same question as above. I have ATT H820. If there's no real risk of bricking I am interested. Do note that mine was updated this month to my extreme disappointment. Security patch level 2016-07-01 kernel 3.18.20 software H82011k security MDF v2.0 Release 2

Yeah I updated my OP. Not very stoked on ATT nor LG at the moment. Sorry guys

Shouldn't take more than a half hour. I replaced the broken screen and digitizer on my G3 after I dropped it on its face. Pretty easy really, the hardest part of getting the screen off was just getting the adhesive separated from the screen > body. Not bad at all. The board would be easier, it...

Yeah I'm super pissed off right now. Hearing "It'll void your warranty!" and "It's for your protection!" I'm like, are you ****ing kidding me? Imagine if you buy a new computer and the admin account is locked, and theres a BIOS lock on it so you can't install your own OS. That's exactly the same...

... Seriously? SIM wasn't mentioned once during my entire chat with the CSR, and he told me this is a way to unlock the bootloader. Perhaps he didn't know what he was talking about? Is this false hope then?

E: False alarm. ATT doesn't understand the difference between SIM and bootloader.... Finally. Some of you may have read through some posts or threads by me. The latest update by LG for this phone really irked me yesterday. The update installed without me choosing to, and now includes a...

[Professor Farnsworth voice] Good news, everyone! [/voice] Finally. Some of you may have read through some posts or threads by me. The latest update by LG for this phone really irked me yesterday. The update installed without me choosing to, and now includes a persistent notification that can...

E: This may just be for SIM unlocking? SIM wasn't mentioned once in the chat I had with ATT, and I told him the goal was bootloader unlock. This is what they came back with... Confirmed. This is for SIM unlocking, not bootloader unlocking. Thanks to the ATT people who don't understand the...

Has anyone figured out if you can disable this entirely unnecessary and incredibly annoying persistent notification about "mobile data not enabled" now? I didn't want to update and now I'm forced to deal with this ****. No.

Update time. So, I didn't initiate the update. I didn't want to install it at all. I look down at my phone this afternoon and it says update on progress... Nice. OK, fine whatever. Now there's a persistent notification in the pull-down whenever you don't have mobile data enabled. And you can't...

Just want to update the thread saying that even after doing this, I have a permanent notification in my dropdown about the newest OTA that I can't dismiss.

jcase I believe said he got root but couldn't do much either way without bootloader unlock.

E: The Unsolicited OTA Update, or Why I'm Leaving This Phone. See post 3 for details. I got a notice that there is an update for at least the ATT 820 variant of the G5 today. I'm not going to flash it until someone else does or we have a changelog, I dont want to ruin any potential root...

I think we'd need something more along the lines of lobbyists. Pretty sure that it's a monetary thing with ATT VZW and Sprint

Many people, including myself, have tried. They copypasta a response to all of us: "Hello, we are sorry to inform you that we currently have no plan to support bootloader unlocking for other variants of the G5. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. If there are any changes...

Fluffy Mittens is making some good progress I think

I'd love to learn how to inject those via an apk or something. But alas, I am very new to security.

^ Same. Thank you very much raynan

LG is pretty adamant about not offering an unlocked bootloader on any devices they haven't already released an unlock for. Right now our only hope for anything outside of 850 and 830 is the skilled members of this forum to do their thing. They're working on it!
