Hey Guys,
quick question - where is the bootloader on this thing?
I just received my G Pad today - used towelroot and flashify to flash twrp and was able to get root and do a nandroid in twrp.
BUT:
while booting recovery via adb command (and via quick boot) it identifies as V510 and states boot success bootloader unlocked.
Yet i can't boot to recovery or bootloader via vol up/down and no bootloader via ad reboot bootloader or quick boot/termnial
where can i unlock that bootloader for sure? all i could find was the normal fastboot method with oem unlock but no fastboot for me.
Any help/hint is appreciated.
Cheers
Buster
PS: (edit)
I don't mean download mode - this works (LG Tool recognizes it)
Have a look over here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo3YfszOPsQ
or
On the tablet start Flashify , in the menu press: reboot to recovery.

Thanks, but recovery is not my Problem (as stated before)
bootloader (fastboot oem unlock) is my problem to get to (download mode works)
i want to unlock my bootloader so i need to get into bootloader to do that

Are you sure it's a V510 (Google Play Edition)? What was the stock ROM? GPE or LGs ROM?

What I suspected. Sounds like the incorrect version of TWRP was installed. You'll need to go the the V500 thread, pinned to the top of the General section and follow the various instructions for installing Loki. You can't unlock your bootloader on the V500, per se. There is a work around. That's why you couldn't find what you were looking for.

Well that explains it then - if only the GPE edition is unlockable - it goes back to the seller. and LG gets a nice email about that.
also since I'm on 4.4.2 now the loki install fails so I'm out of luck anyways. (TWRP was the correct one btw on 4.2.2.)
thanks

I recently got the Xperia S {No SD Card Slot, 32gb internal Storage}
I know it may sound silly, but could someone point me in the right direction for Flashing and Rooting this, what what's the best Rom/Kernal/Recovery Menu for this awesome device?
Just want to say, I do have experience on flashing stuff, installing roms ect
Just wondering what tools are needed to Root and Flash this thing
Thanks All!
this is the xS index for tutorials and guides and everything in between
regarding the part about best rom, you're always gonna receive a biased opinion on that coz that pretty much boils down to user preference

Check first: *#*#SERVICE#*#* >>service info>>configuration
if it says Bootloader unlocked allowed=yes then try as explained below ! It will definitely works !
I suggest you to first unlock your bootloader via the easy tool described at here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1560613
then flash the Doomkernel with the flashtool booting at fastboot mode. Before doing that never forget to install the necessary drivers.
The kernel is preloaded with custom recovery CWM and TWRP. While booting when you see doom logo pressing at 'vol +' you'll get CWM and pressing at camera button you'll get TWRP.
And flash the su and busybox package via recovery (CWM or TWRP)
for flashtool http://androxyde.github.io/
for kernel and su & busybox package: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2305591
& then enjoy Rooted jelly bean
ALL THE BEST !

the bootloader isn't unlocked(ever) we just use a workaround , you need to revert to kitkat first for this to work and you can install twrp by following the instructions HERE

this method requires you to downgrade(only bootloader) and is more dangerous then the regular downgrading approach. just downgrade you could enjoy have enjoyed a rom by now(while you were searching for the correct images

After I used it with Lollipop droidboot ww t00j stock .78 I had problems with camera. It works only with kitkat?
@ XHook
have you worked on method to re-lock bootloader..
bricked my bootloader
After flashing this I couldn't access my fastboot. Now I can't even boot to system. I'm stuck at the USB logo, where usually I could reboot to fastboot (via pressing Power & Vol +) to fix this. But now I can't even access fastboot. When I press Power & Volume Up, it shows a battery icon. Please do help @XHook.
Editted:
Sorry for panicking back there. I forgot the reboot to recovery way using Power & Volume down. At least I can still boot to my system. I'll try to find a DIY solution for this. Sorry for panicking, @XHook.
Your tool uses Fastboot of 4.3 version right? Is that the difference?
no more update? camera not found, can this method by xhook solve the problem?
i've tried this version, but make my bootloader missing/bricked, same with ezrawk post
Note : When I installed this version >> 3.24.40.87 latest stock lollipop firmware
@XHook, tell me what your firmware version when you install this UBL method.
Thanks

I was using a custom recovery (TWRP) at that time so I flashed a fastboot via install. If you aren't using a custom recovery, you'd probably want to check this out: Zenfone 5 A500CG, Zenfone 6 A600CG Last chance to debrick (This fix youre IMEI) by swiczak
About the flashable fastboot, try searching for it in the Help & Troubleshooting part, I think the user who upload the flashable fastboot zip was tank0412. Try PM-ing him. Sorry can't help you about this 'cause I forgot where I saved mine.
Goodluck!
Hi there,
I want to share with you a bootloader unlock method that worked perfectly for me.
STEPS:
Download official stock kitkat rom: ROM
Extract boot, fastboot and recovery from it and flash them from fastboot then flash the rom
Download official Asus tool for unlocking bootloader: TOOL
Install it and follow the procedure
If all goes fine when you switch on the phone the background behind the Asus logo is white instead of black.
It's easy and maybe a "stupid" method but it worked on my Zenfone 5 T00J.
The firmware listed in this topic is the only for me that allowed to use correctly the unlocking bl app.
If there are problems, I'm available :good:
do you have unlocker tool for zenfone 6 ?
My bootloader is alwery unlocked, but with black background, now I unlocked with this and its white, great , I was tired of that bootlogo
Works the same as all other methods, doesn't fix "freeze" or "no camera" issue...

It seems that you did not enable usb debug in Settings>General>Dev options.
If you did try another usb cable and at last try from another pc.
I also recommend Ubuntu Linux to FastBoot an Android device.
