And again, more disappointment. Another phone with a locked bootloader! I spoke to LG and T-mobile tech support. Of course they both are playing the blame game on one another but bottom line is is that the LG G5 will be locked down just like the Samsung S7. I was told we would have to wait to see if an unlock option comes out down the road like the G4 had. What another let down....
If this is true, I'll be sticking with my LG4 for awhile.
I was thinking of getting the S7 Edge until I read about the locked bootloader.
Was hoping the LG5 wouldn't be locked.
Patience is a virtue
You are overreacting because LG has a history of providing an unlock method just as long as the owner realizes that they have registered the phone has warranty void. This is no big deal because we already know the risks involved with rooting and loading custom roms, and worst case scenario all you have to do is have insurance for that phone so if you hose you can always get another phone.
If this is indeed true, I have a tendency to believe that T-Mobile is the one requesting locked bootloaders (and not Samsung, as they led us to believe for the S7) and that most of their phones will have locked bootloaders from this point forward. Unfortunately the "uncarrier" isn't so "uncarrier" anymore and we will now rely on OEMs to provide an unlocking method. Luckily, HTC already has a set-in-place unlocking method so even if the HTC 10 comes with a locked bootloader, as I now suspect it will, there shouldn't be any reason we can't get it S-OFF/unlocked.
T-Mobile is slowly switching back to the ways of it's evil step-brothers, ATT & VZW.

Yes, HTC has had simple process you can use to unlock your bootloader for some time now, I think since the original HTC One... I did this with my M8. Getting S-OFF is another story, you have to buy an app called Sunshine....which is well worth it considering the work the devs put in to accomplish this.
But every LG device has a locked bootloader that have to unlock via adb if it's not truly locked down. I wonder if he doesn't know that. Hopefully he is just uninformed but T-Mobile is getting cocky now that they're making good money.

And that is the big question.... is it locked as in "cannot be unlocked by the user" or is it locked as in "all you have to do is type Fastboot OEM Unlock" and you're home free?
It's locked cause it has more enterprise security than Samsung phones. It was accepted by the NSA.

You have to buy international variant and you are sure will be released from LG official bootloader unlock solution as it was for G4...
Grab it from handtech.co.uk store
It looks like it's an 820 thing. Qualcomm is driving this. T-Mo is already working on an approved unlock from Samsung for the S7 and S7e.
Disappointed to hear the latest news, but I would be happy enough to get root (most of the G4s with locked bootloaders have root at least). Hopefully all is not lost!
Has anyone with their device in hand actually confirmed this? I've got mine in hand and don't wanna brick anything by trying to run fastboot oem unlock on it...
Update: In developer options there's an enable OEM Unlock.. Dare I try it?
Update 2: I tried to fastboot oem unlock it.. Get a message at boot complaining about not being able to check for corruption. But it booted.

a) enable developer options (Settings in ROM)
check to see if there is a "Enable OEM unlock" option
http://www.droid-life.com/2014/11/0...nable-oem-unlock-option-in-developer-options/
b) reboot into bootloader/fastboot (turn phone fully off... then hold volume up+power, or volume down+power)
there should be a screen (serial number, ROM build number etc)... provide photo of screen
it usually tells you whether bootloader is locked or unlocked

There definitely was an Enable OEM Unlock options in developer options. So I enabled it..
Rebooted into fastboot (Hold volume down and then insert usb cable while phone is off) and ran the fastboot oem unlock just as shown above in the screen cap. Unfortunately when I try to get the status now, it doesn't say unlocked or locked. It's empty (see screenshot)
Fastboot now says the exact following:
---------------------------------------------
*Welcome to Fastboot Mode :
*HOW TO exit fastboot mode
1. Press the Power button for 10 secs to turn off the device
2. Use 'fastboot reboot' command if the fastboot is avaible
---------------------------------------
On reboot a yellow caution sign comes up and says
"Your device cannot be checked for software corruption"

A couple months back, I finished rooting my phone and installed a custom ROM, now I'm looking to sell the phone and I need to get it back to 100%
After following Uziphi's post,but when trying to relock the bootloader, I'm now greeted upon a "You device has loaded a different OS" warning, and I'm hoping to get rid of that so I can sell the phone.
It's strange because when you go into fastboot, it even says that the "Software status: Official", and after locking the bootloader, it's changed from "bootloader unlocked" to "flashing_locked" which I'm assuming that it means that it hasn't really locked the bootloader.
Basically, how do I get my phone to 100% stock, enough so that you can sell the phone, and have everything work.
Thanks!
I dunno the answer to your question, but perhaps you could just leave bootloader unlocked and flash a replacement logo.bin over it? I doubt anyone who bought it would ever notice. Either they'd never care about bootloader like a regular person, or they'd notice when they try to unlock it that it's already unlocked and not care. https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-force/development/remove-bootloader-unlocked-warning-t3702353

I'm not sure if that goes away, someone else might know better. It was discussed somewhere in the threads, and I believe what happens is that when you unlock your bootloader the stores that info and you get a corresponding splash screen. When you re-lock your bootloader, the phone stores that info as well and stores it as unlocked and relocked. What command did you use to lock the bootloader?
Note - re-locking your bootloader should be done with caustion. If you don't have everything official and in it's place you could brick your device.

The flag is saved in DTO. Oreo OTA reset that flag somehow but most of us unlocked after or had unlocked so it stayed 1
Just an FYI on this, in this state it won't pass Safety Net, at least as far as Google Pay is concerned. That's when I really "felt" the issue. The splash screen didn't bother me so much.

Right. The flag SN checked is "bootloader unlock=" there are 3 variables. 0=never unlocked, 1=unlocked, 2=relocked. If that flag isn't 0, then CTS will fail.

Hey guys, I'm super excited to get my new LG G8 tonight, with all of the incentives Sprint is offering me it'll cost just over $300!
However, the previous LG phones that I've had (G4 and G5) were absolute trainwrecks when it came to software, and the G8 doesn't seem to be too different. I'm hoping that eventually we will be able to root it, if not install a Project Treble AOSP build.
How likely is this? Can we get a bootloader bounty going? Heck, I'd be happy with just root and Magisk

Unless something like this will work on G8, there is no reason to believe your G8 will be able to be rooted anytime soon.

let me know when u can unlock bootloaders , happy to help out with twrp or so

The good news on the T-Mobile variant is the "Enable OEM Unlock" is present and not greyed out. The bad news is I am unable to get into the bootloader either through command or even with the volume up+power while turning the phone on. It looks like the T-Mobile variant has the bootloader locked out unless if I'm missing something here.
Edit: Even holding down then plugging in my USB-C cable doesn't get the bootloader to kick in. Up then plugging in however does get me to download mode. I can get into recovery but can't get the dang thing to do anything other than display the broken Android logo and can't even get the typical recovery stuff to pop up. Says "no command" below the broke Android logo.
Dumb question but did you try the adb reboot bootloader command?

Yes and it simply reboots the phone. Does not go to the bootloader at all. Not a dumb question by the way. Pretty good to ask.

I suspect that's the case with the T-Mobile variant. I wouldn't be shocked if there's a backdoor method found to getting fastboot to work on such variants as I can still get into download mode easily along with recovery. So I'm sure there's a way to use either one of these to getting fastboot to work.

Someone has a engineering bootloader that allows you to unlock bootloader working on the g7 andv40 and v35 mabye works on g8 you need to use jtag from octoplus though.
Any other info yet?
Verizon
LM-G820UM
I'm pretty sure they'll update their Bootloader Unlock Key page in the next few weeks and add the G8(S) to the list of supported devices.
The unlocked G8S at least boots into Fastboot and also explicitly describes and explains how to unlock the bootloader. So there's that.

It's volume down and plugging in the cable. What @AngryManMLS edited in as well.
If your device is unlockable it should lead you to fastboot mode with (more or less) detailed instructions on how to unlock the bootloader.
I "only" own a G8s but it should be the same for the other variants.

Thanks. It didn't work on mine. I have a carrier unlocked version that I got from Amazon - $350 discount on Prime Day. (It's an LM-G820QM model with no digital assistant key and the Alexa apps added.) All I get when when using the volume down key (even with plugging in the cable afterwards) is the attached Factory Reset screen... I cannot get to the screens AngryMan saw.
I have an LM-G820QM unlocked I got from a bestbuy a couple weeks after launch. I can use adb reboot bootloader to get into fastboot. I followed the instructions on the LG bootloader unlock page. I got the device ID and IMEI put in and it told me my device doesn't support bootloader unlocking or some nonsense. I was pretty disappointed because I thought buying the unlocked variant it would be unlockable by LG. I seem to be the only person with this vairant here so if I can help the effort in any way, please let me know.
My intent is to prevent crying and gnashing-of-teeth
Thanks to my retailer's very forgiving return policy I am up and happily running fully ROOTed (But after bricking two phones)
1. Get a copy of the Factory ROM (others have posted online - so hard work done.)
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ocean/official/CC/
I used XT1955-5_OCEAN_CCAWS_9.0_PPO29.114-30_cid50_subsidy-CCAWS_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
You can check which your phone is using Settings->System->About then Build Number at the bottom
2. Open the zip and copy the boot.img to the phone
3. Install "Magisk Manager" from Play Store
4. Use Magisk Mangers to create a "magisk_patched.img" from the boot.img and move the magisk_patched.img to your adb fastboot folder on the PC
5. Use fastboot to flash the magisk_patched.img
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
the _a is important
If phone acts weird after, used bootloader to factory restore and believe it or not the magisk_patched stays flashed
See Restore Below
Install adb fastboot see
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/windows-adb-fastboot-installer-sdk-t3516898
UNLOCK the Bootloader
(Motorola Mobility helps you with this but VOIDS the Factory Warranty)
1. Boot into bootloader –
(i). turn phone off,
(ii). hold volume-down and power together boots to bootloader
2. Plug phone into computer via USB-C
3. Open command prompt window
(i). In “type here to search” just type cmd
(ii). Right-Click Command Prompt in pop-up and select “Run as Administrator”
4. Test Fastboot
(i). Type “fastboot devices” (plural) in Command Prompt Window
(ii). It will return you phone’s ID. If it doesn’t return your device ID - your adb fastboot installation need attention, probably drivers
5. Now type the fastboot instruction
(i). fastboot oem get_unlock_data
6. The Phone will return 4 values
7. Combine all 4 values into a SINGLE string and go to
https://support.motorola.com/us/en/bootloader
HINT: After signing up and logging in click on SKIP this for now
these unlock bootloader instructions with more detail are on this site
8. Input the SINGLE string on the website (input box found below the instructions) it will email you your UNIQUE UNLOCK CODE
You have to click Send Code and OK on the Warranty pop-up box TWICE
9. Unlock using the fastboot command
fastboot oem unlock UNIQUEUNLOCKCODE
fastboot to flash
1. Boot into bootloader – see steps #1 thru #4 above
(i). fastboot devices
2. Now type your fastboot instruction
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
Restore
If selecting Recovery Mode from within Bootloader (volume keys to move between, power button to select) returns
No Command
You have to press and hold the power button. Now press and release the volume up button but continue to hold power button
After this, you can see a list with option of Wipe data/ factory reset

Attached is a boot logo for unlocked bootloader's that will hide the code that is displayed after installing a magisk patched bootloader.
Unzip and install via fastboot:
Nothing fancy, but gives bootups a cleaner look.

Does your device have a switch in developer options that says something about unlock bootloader? Can that switch be moved or is it greyed out?
Most Verizon devices have encrypted bootloader's and cannot have their bootloader's unlocked because Verizon encrypts them and has for quite some time now.

Okay, but do you know if it matters if I have the model number XT1955-6? This thread tutorial says it works for all models and variants but it only has download links for XT1955-5, does the model number really matter?

As i stated the first step is get the unlock code. Then you can unlock the bootloader. Which means you can root it. Since it says all i assume it will work either way you can post in that thread. First i suggest you search it for your model or carrier.

Yeah it has a switch it says " allow bootloader to be unlocked" it's it greyed out. I switched it to on.

If the switch doesn't allow you to move slider then it is probably encrypted by Verizon like all Verizon devices, well about 99% of their devices are nowadays. If the bootloader is indeed encrypted then there's nothing that can be done as far as I know because Verizon holds the keys to it and I've never read anything that said they have given that info up to anyone for anything. I may be wrong about this but greyed out "allow bootloader to be unlocked" is a red flag that to me mean it's encrypted and being a Verizon sold model device they're the ones who encrypted it.. Id do more research on it and if it is what I believe it may be maybe ask Verizon if they'll allow you to activate an unlocked Moto g7 power and if they say yes get an unlocked model and see about hooking it up through them but idk their policy about that they're pretty strict from what I've heard.. Worth a shot though. But if you do decide to go that route make sure lte bands and all match up to what Verizon uses , you know ... I search a bit later today and see if I can locate any more info on this model... If I do I'll send you a message with links.
Edit added:
***Just reread your replies ..
If you switched it to allow bootloader unlocking then I'd proceed with unlocking it and see what happens. I thought you meant it didn't allow to move the switch. If I was in your shoes I'd proceed with the unlocking bootloader. It will either work or it won't. Just remember it does delete all your data ..
I too have the 1955-6 My OEM unlock toggle works, I can enable it but Motorolas thing said it couldn't be unlocked. I stayed on the phone with Verizon for over an hour getting moved up to different people and thought I was getting somewhere until they said they said it was on Motorolas end..lol

U need to get that conversation recorded or if done in chat a copy of the chat and precedent it to the Moto techs on the bootloader stuff
Well I also stayed on the phone with Motorola for an hour and explained everything. They said that phone cant be unlocked and they dont have the power to create me a code because Verizon having them come locked. They kinda each blamed each other. I should have 3 wayed them I guess lol

You'll want to go here:
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ocean/official/VZW/
Then check your phone's Build Number to verify that you download the correct file. Mine was this one:
XT1955-6_OCEAN_VZW_9.0_PDOS29.114-134-12_cid2_subsidy-VZW_RSU_QCOM_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

How will that help us to unlock the bootloader or obtain root? I was wondering if it was possible to flash the XT-1955-5 firmware and it allow the bootloader to be unlocked. Im sure it wouldn't work though.

Hello all, this is a quick and simple guide to unlocking your T-Mobile locked bootloader. Just a reminder: unlocking the bootloader will wipe your data. The instructions here will apply to all T-Mobile OnePlus devices.
Unlock your SIM. Some options here
Finding a sympathetic rep to unlock your device. I used the I'm a developer and need the device unlocked for work purposes and took 2 agents before I got mine unlocked.
Finding an awesome XDAer who has the capability to do it, such as https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ng-service-oneplus-samsung-google-lg.4231597/ (never used this service, just an example but he seems active and still unlocking)
Paying a (trusted) 3rd party service. I never used them, YMMV
T-Mobile's official policy of waiting 40 days and paying off any balance on an EIP.
Toggle OEM Unlocking in Developer Options.
Jot down your IMEI with *#06#
Reboot the device to bootloader. You can do this via ADB or advanced reboot options in Developer Options.
On a computer with latest fastboot and OnePlus drivers installed, run:
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_code
Fill out the unlock application on OP's site: https://www.oneplus.com/unlock_token You should have all the necessary information to fill it out now.
Wait for the unlock application to be processed. It can take up to 2 weeks, or even longer on a new device. You can enjoy your still-locked OP9P for now.
Once the unlock application is processed, download the unlock file from the unlock site above, save it (as an example, I saved it as unlock.bin)
With your device in bootloader again, run:
Code:
fastboot flash cust-unlock [path/to/unlock.bin]
In my example, from the CWD as the unlock.bin file, I would run
Code:
fastboot flash cust-unlock unlock.bin
Unlock your bootloader with the command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Congrats, your OnePlus device should now be unlocked!
I don't know if I been really unlucky or what, so far I have tried over the phone, chat, twitter, and local store without any results so far. Feels bad
I was able to get it unlocked via T-Mobiles twitter support on one try, Maybe because I payed off half the device already . Keep trying
Just keep trying, sometimes you get really unlucky. I have made $0 payment so far and had it unlocked on the first day I took it home. The store won't be able to help though. I used phone(8T) / facebook(9pro), twitter should be the same team as facebook and these are your best bets.

Just bought my OP9 Pro this am from T-mobile. Bought it on a promo so they were hesitant to unlock the device but I told them I was an Android Dev and travel world wide and not only did he not make me pay it off to unlock it he refused to take my money and whitelisted my phone before even activating it. So to their point above or below, keep trying and you will get someone nice. Or change your story. Up to you
They gave me a temporary unlock but I still can't toggle the oem unlocking button its greyed out. Am I doing something wrong.

Both of you have made statements that sound like you are talking about SIM unlocking. This is bootloader unlocking and is not related. T-Mobile support isn't there for you to unlock your bootloader and yes they will grant a temporary sim unlock if you need it.

Temporary unlock doesn't work, must be permanent. If you are really unlucky with support, try #2, he's active and currently unlocking 9 series.

Read OP, permanent SIM unlock must be acquired before OEM Unlocking is available (or we are waiting for an exploit). Temp unlock does nothing in the context of getting the BL unlocked.

Oh Geeze. I hadn't looked too closely yet as I just got the phone yesterday. But there goes one of the key reasons for getting the One Plus over the S21 lol. It's on a Sprint account and they couldn't activate it with the T-Mobile sim (according to the rep) so that 1 guy can't help. Geeze. Makes me miss the days of affordable flagships you could buy outright easy.
I was excited to be back in the scene but it might have to wait until later when I have more of a reason for it.

You can just put a tmobile sim in a Sprint branded phone, it'll be fine. Go to a tmobile store and ask for tnx sim if you have everything paid off. Otherwise call sprint and get a tnx sim.
So I know this isn't the proper place but wanted to ask some opinions or maybe somebody can point me in the right place if needed got T-Mobile's OnePlus 9 didn't want purple box said silver opened it up yep it's purple!! Rep didn't know what to do so I took it home I'm going back thinking of switching to the pro but $75 I think restocking fee is it worth switching to the 9 pro. Any info and possibly reason to switch outside of purple would be appreciated thank you
Depends on what you use your phone for. You can look up the differences. Personally, the regular OnePlus 9 should be ok and you'd be better off waiting for the upcoming series before upgrading, but that's just a recommendation.
Hey guys, just wanting to make sure I understand the process. I haven't been rooting or unlocking a bootloader since android introduced their different pay apps and all major carriers started locking their bootloaders. So the OP post says you need to attain an unlocked sim to be able to get the unlock iem option. So then it would be needed for t-mobile devices that were purchased from one plus, right?

Currently on a OnePlus Nord n10 5g (5g doesn't work on AT&T) I am ready for an upgrade and can grab the 512gb Pixel 6 Pro for 400$.
I see that it has a lot of support for Roms, how ever I just wanted to ask a couple questions on that topic.
Are all versions of the the Pixel unlock able and rootable? Do custom roms fix some of the issues I have heard about.
Thanks
6 Pro 512gb for $400? That's a no-brainer.
I'm using the Pro, it's been a perfect phone imo. Look, 12L just came out 4 days ago, has resolved a ton of issues for the 6 series (mobile connectivity etc). Only thing some people are seeing, is battery drain, but that can be fixed with a kernel and root. I say go for it, worst that happens is you sell it and make some money if its in good condition.
There's a ton of ROMs and kernels for the 6 series if you want to go that route, there's a pixel 6 telegram channel that provides updates with all the kernels and roms for the 6 series... pretty great to have all that info in one location t.me/pixel6updates.

I'm using the Pro, it's perfect (I tried a kernel yesterday and had some issues with Shelter and white preview on camera, so I removed it and went back to GraphenOS). Look, 12L has resolved a ton of issues. Only thing some people are seeing, is excessive battery drain, but that can be fixed with a kernel and root.

No, only phones which can have the bootloader unlocked are able to be rooted and flash other ROMs. As they come, the only Pixel that can is the factory unlocked model (usually straight from Google). One or more other carrier versions of the Pixel 6 Pro can eventually have the bootloader unlocked, but not until you pay the phone off, or jump through some hoops.
I know you mentioned AT&T - I have no idea if anyone with the AT&T variant has fully unlocked their phone, but you can use the search function on this section to see what folks say. Some with T-Mobile have. Verizon variants can never be bootloader unlocked.

Good to hear, thanks! I'm sure you'll be able to unlock the bootloader just fine. Once you enable OEM Unlock (and keep it on), then there shouldn't be anything stopping you, except the caveat that when you unlock the bootloader, it'll factory reset your phone, of course.

That wouldn't be a problem since I cant just reinstall all my apps again. Now I have a question. I haven't root a phone since I had my nexus 6. After unlocking the bootloader I know I will have the message when the phone turns on.
My questions is If i root with magisk and a new update comes out for the pixel 6. Is it just a matter of uninstalling magisk and doing the system update. Than installing magisk again to root. Is it this simple or do I have to do something else before installing new system update OTA

There are at least several ways of taking updates. I do things differently (using the new full factory image each month). The best places to discuss any methods are the following threads in this section:
(All three of those threads may give information for that method, or only one or two of them. I know at least some of them detail that method. What you said basically sounds right to me, but as I said, I don't do it that way, but it's by all means just as legitimate a method.)
The fourth (not surounded in red) thread may also be important to you in order to get banking apps including Google Pay working 100%.
Good luck!

You must fully pay for your phone to get sim unlock. After simunlock you can unlock bootlaoder.

Does it still use the traditional "use a different carrier SIM and put in a code" unlock method? Just asking as T-Mo had to unlock server side.
How much did the SIM unlock run?
