Wait, did I just read that correctly?

TWRP is available for H815 and now that it is, we can root it via SuperSU? Is it worth waiting for anything else (a different process to unlock) because of the whole 'once you unlock using LG's method you can't relock' and you void your warranty'? Or will that part likely take months and months?

EDIT:

Posted in that thread:

Agreed, it totally depends on the company, but it's sounding like LG is being reasonable about it.

It probably depends on your local laws, too - in the US at least (I know that doesn't help the Euro H815 owners), if the company cannot prove that your software changes directly caused whatever hardware defect you're experiencing, the hardware warranty will still apply. This bit is totally anecdotal, but a few years ago, with my T-mobile G2 (HTC Desire Z), I got full warranty coverage for a keyboard issue, even though the device was S-OFF and running CyanogenMod.

Magnusson-Moss act. Good to know. I might pull the trigger than when my H815 comes in on thursday...the only thing I can see using my warranty on is something like the hairline crack that the G3's had develops on the G4. I can't see any other issue with the phone software wise that would require warranty service as most of us are techie enough to probably fix it ourselves either via a different ROM, etc.

Having issues getting the BL unlocked it seems. I can't get any of my computers to recognise the device. Whenever I input adb devices, I get nothing. Computer seems to detect my Huawei though, so weird.

It's 3:30 a.m., idk if it's worth losing sleep over at this point damnit.

Edit: derp. You need to have LG's PC Suite installed in order for your computer to detect it, buh. Time to continue with the process.

Edit #2: Getting an issue from their website after inputting the correct information. I keep getting "not found suffix".

Assuming it's a website error, will try again tomorrow I guess.

Flashing TWRP doesn't seem to work successfully from my Mac. I can reboot into (my unlocked) bootloader, fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and then I get a success message.

But when I reboot and use adb to get to recovery, I just get the Android with a red triangle. Rubbish. Any ideas?

I have the same issue. I can get into TWRP using fastboot boot.

Yup just tried that method and seems to work well. Thank you.

I hope though there is some key combination that can be used to get into recovery. Having to be at a computer every time would be pretty annoying. Need to fix the triangle issue first though.
