No one knows... Moto got sold to Lenovo.
Moto before was google owned. Then it was dev friendly and one could unlock the BL.
But now with Lenovo. We will know once someone gets his hands on the international/European version. I think in the US its only provided by Verizon. Which of course has no option to unlock the BL.

Im on Verizon and this phone was one of the last hope for getting a phone that I liked. Verizon is pushing me to get me an Iphone tbh. I want a high end phone that I can root and bootloader unlocked.
Pixel phones look ugly to me on the pics they got around. But I'll wait and see in person.
Thanks buddy!

Well if you buy a phone of Verizon it will be probably Verizon "branded" and they will close down and lock the phone. Most Verizon phones have locked bootloaders.
Zero chance of Play Droid on Verizon being bootloader unlockable
Well, I guess I need to start looking somewhere else
Hi Guys, I got one from AT&T Mexico 3 days ago, although it is carrier locked version, under developer options it DOES have an option for unlocking the bootloader, although i don't know how it works, haven't turned it on, and i don't think i'll do until i read more about it to make sure it doesn't void the warranty.

Developer option to allow the bootloader to be unlocked is not the same thing as actually having the bootloader unlocked, which involves getting the IMEI / ESN from the phone, providing that to Moto on their website, getting a response code back from them, entering that into the phone, and THEN the bootloader will be unlocked. This is apparently a very common misconception because everyone criticizes me for saying the Moto Z phones cannot be bootloader unlocked because this option is clearly visible on the dev options, when it actually does nothing to unlock the bootloader. It is the first step required to do it but nothing is unlocked until Moto says so.

To add, on the Z DROIDs, this toggle does absolutely nothing. On the upcoming, unlocked Z phones, this toggle will function as you described.

Got this morning the 4.4.3-update for my N7 2013 LTE; now it WON'T connect to Vodafone NL anymore...
More people have the same problem, that it won't connect to the provider anymore?
Can you try the previous radio and see if it is working?

I had exactly the same thing, and also with Vodafone NL. Although, I assume that's only a coincidence: when I try to search for other networks, I get a toast message with an error saying: "Error searching for networks".
Therefore, I took the radio image from the 4.4.2 factory image, flashed it to my N7, and then I got my mobile network connection back.

I flashed an older radio image, and that one's working. However, since I see only 1 other person who has reported this problem over the past few days, I am wondering whether we have a defect in our hardware that emerges when using the new radio. If it would be purely software, I would expect a lot more reports about this defect.

If everything works with the old radio, Im guessing its most likely software. Cant test LTE right now, so I cant give you guys more feedback. But the fact that you both use the same provider might also be a factor. I would recommend trying out someone else's SIM (different provider) on the new radio and see how that goes.

It seems, that our N7 have received the wrong baseband-version during the update!
Left is the update we've received in the NL, right is the update received in other countries!
Have a look at the baseband-version: the only difference is the "letter"! We should have received the "G", but we got the "H"!

Confirmed, I went several times between the 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 factory images and with a vodafone sim inserted on 4.4.3 it can even scan for networks anymore!
I have the same problem here and using Ziggo mobile. Smalband version DEB-H00_2.42.0_1204
Dont have a rooted Nexus or anything else, just standard. I'm pretty new with android so i really dont have a clue what to do.
Google support is not very helpfull just the basic thinks like deleting cache, restore.

live with it, until an update comes along, or unlock and flash the 4.4.2 factory image
I have the same issue. Nexus 7 2013 LTE, tested with both Vodafone NL and Ziggo Mobiel SIM-cards: same issue.
What is the easiest way to revert to previous Android version (4.4.2)? I'm also non-rooted. Dataloss is no issue, since I just wiped my device to see if there was a user setting messing it up...
---
To downgrade:
- I needed to unlock my bootloader ("fastboot oem unlock"). This voids the warranty, which I don't have in NL anyway.
- I downloaded the files on this page: http://www.androidbeat.com/2013/11/flash-factory-image-nexus-device/
- I followd the steps to run 'flash-all' (after unzipping everything). This wipes all userdate (which was already gone).

Ziggo appears to use the Vodafone network, so the bug could still be related to the interaction with Vodafone only.
Anyone on KPN or T-mobile? (I have the same problem and also am currently on Vodafone...)

I was thinking the same, but still it is a software bug. I noticed that I was also unable to 'downgrade' the network type to '3G' in the buggy firmware. I could only select 4G. Just tested in 4.4.2 and I can select the lower version there.
If it is a Vodafone-only issue, I am very affraid that this will never be resolved...

Somewhere else was reported that the same device works with a Lebara SIM but not with a Vodafone SIM. Lebara uses the KPN network in the Netherlands, so somehow the bug is related to the Vodafone setup in some way .
I am back at 4.4.2. Vodafone NL and android 4.4.3 are not a good combination .
Hello guys!
Well, I'm from Brazil and when travelling in USA decided to buy the new Galaxy S6 Edge. Looked for the unlocked international version but could not find it. So, searching the web I saw that the T-Mobile frequencies are the same from my brazilian carrier (Claro). Bought it!

Now I'm trying to get rid of the T-mobile stuffs (logos and apps). So decided to try to install a international ROM (SM-G925i - Brazil ZTO) with no success. Odin gave me "fail". Tryied to root (CF - autoroot using the S6 version because the S6 Edge version was briking my phone) and it worked. Then I tryied to install the ZTO room again also with no success.
So I change it back to default T-Mobile ROM, that I don't know if it is locked or no (will try my carrier chip later because the one I have isn't micro - need to buy one).
But it seems that the SM-G925T have some king of lock to block the instalation of ROMs from other countries (market!).
Is there any way to bypass it? In other words can I install a SM-G925i ROM on a SM-G925T S6 Edge?
Thank you all!
It's not just this phone. Most modern handsets do not allow installation of other model ROMs. Developers can make hacked up versions that work, but there are serious risks of problems with those ROMs. Your best bet is to root, install Titanium Backup Pro, and freeze the T-Mobile stuff. Don't uninstall anything. T-Mobile handsets are fairly unbloated as it is, so it's not a big order.
All right.. just updating... with the stock T-Mobile ROM I tryied my carrier SIM card and.......... "invalid SIM card" message appeared. So the T-Mobile S6 Edge IS locked! And it didn't even ask me for a code!
dc/dc, if the bootloader is locked is there a way to unlocks it? Maybe TWRP?
What I'd like to do is install a umbranded international ROM and continue to get the OTAs!
Thanks in advance!

The bootloader isn't locked. The phone can be network unlocked using an app that came on the phone (Device Unlock maybe?)
Yes, but the permanent unlock says that my device isn't elegible and the temporary unlock says that fails to apply the unlock! I'm already in Brazil so I cannot go to a T-Mobile store to fix it
Inserted my carrier SIM card with the T-Mobile ROM rooted but got the same message "Invalid SIM card".
It's insane.. that should be a way to get the network unlocked using other method than asking it for T-Mobile.
You needed to use that app to unlock it before returning to Brasil, and you would need a T-Mobile account. There are some sites that have the codes, so just do a search through here.

Please follow this and other threads,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge/help/t-mobile-device-unlock-app-t3086772
It´s a matter of fact that if you got a t-mobile phone locked, ther is no way to avoid the app, and if you are not elegible, you just can wait for a rom that can be flashed to overcome the app.
I contacted T-Mobile and got the response that I need to have $100 in my account to be "elegible" to network unlock my phone.
Man, it's really insane! In Brazil all phones must be unlocked and if one is locked the carrier must unlock it for free.. that's the law!
TMobo, you sucks!

Honestly, it's not T-Mobile's fault that you didn't do your research.
There is no research that can fix a stupid american law that constraints consumers to be tied in a carrier allowing it to have "elegibilities" to be free. Honestly, I think acting this way isn't the american spirit, for shure!

There's no law involved at all. The telecom industry in the USA is simply different than in Brasil. It's changing, but no country will ever work the same as another. It's not T-Mobile or the USA's fault that you're having trouble. Sorry mate.
All right buddy... let's get ride of the "off topic" discussion. Thanks for helping me!
As I'll be able to be back in USA only at october and there is no way to send my Edge to TM, I'll continue to wait for a way to install a international ROM on it or wait for a MPCS ROM to unlock it after rooted and get back to TM ROM but network unlocked! This way besides having the TM stuffs and logos I can use my carrier SIM and continue receiving the OTAs at least!
Any news I'll let you know!

youre correct. I think alot of people are having a hard time understanding whats going on with these phones. Im in the same boat. Have an S6 edge TMOB and I cant get the damn thing unlocked. Scour the internet every morning for an answer..
I also have a 128GB S6 TMOB and the Metro firmware worked just fine. We need to be able to flash another rom to this phone to get the phone to accept the unlock code. Im not a developer so Im stuck waiting like you
I do the same.. Every morning with the hope to find a solution..
I think we only need a developer who want really do that.. I follow this forum and see amazing developers..
So.. Please help us.
Thanks..
I'm making this thread to update the progress towards root and such for the T-MOBILE LG v30
So far what I have gathered is that like the LG G6 the fastboot commands have been removed
There is in fact one fastboot commands still active and that's fastboot flash all,my proposal is that we modify a otas boot.img and root the boot.img then flash that ota package.
As per request here is the stock kdz:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620768916
I don't know anything about development just throwing a idea out there
Since people can't read correctly this for the T-MOBILE Variant..you know the only one that's locked down?
EDIT: the OP has now edited the thread topic at my suggestion to clarify he's only interested in the the T-Mobile LG V30. Initially it was for ALL LG V30 and his initial post thus had misinformation, which he's now corrected.

I predict Root/TWRP/ROMs will be achieved when the US998 and H930 are placed on the LG Developer Bootloader unlock list. And neither of those LG V30 phones have ADB flash commands removed, so you are not correct there.

Oh, you are probably ONLY talking about the carrier-branded models. Only the carrier-branded models of the LG G6 and LG V30 have the ADB flash commands removed. The official carrier unlocked models are not crippled in any way.
The LG V30 official carrier unlocked models (US998* and H930) released by LG directly (and also sold by some 3rd party retailers) have full ADB commands and will be the "developer" models with full root, TWRP, custom ROMs.
These two models will be released end of October and sometime soon after that (hopefully very soon), will be placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list. Within a WEEK after that you'll have root, ROMs, TWRP, kernels for the LG V30. That's what happened with the LG G6, which has TONS of dev work. June 29, placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock List, by first week of July -- BOOM! :good:
So, you might want to edit your thread title to to be CARRIER BRANDED LG V30? Your thread title says "not achieved yet". Because when the LG V30 official carrier unlocked models (US998, H930) get root, ROMs it WILL be achieved.
You are probably talking about the carrier branded models -- but it's like saying all cars have gear boxes in the wrong location for shifting gears on the open road. Well, not all cars have "stick shifts" at all. Some have automatic transmissions. You need to clarify you are only talking about the gear boxes of cars which have manual transmissions -- where you would be shifting gears while driving.
This has all been discussed in the LG V30 "Unlock bootloader and Root" thread.
Everything you need to know about this topic was posted back in early September in posts #6, #7, #9. Because even then -- a MONTH BEFORE CARRIER RELEASE -- we knew what LG was doing with their 2017 flagships. I posted information so people could plan accordingly. If you wanted root for sure on LG V30, you knew what to buy.
In that thread, I suggested at least twice that someone open a CARRIER BRANDED ROOT thread, if they ONLY want to talk about that. But no one has yet -- unless you change (edit) the title to this thread? Over in the T-mobile LG G6 thread -- which also has the so-far useless bootloader unlock -- there was 23-page root bounty thread, but after six months has been abandoned as a lost cause.
Again, the carrier unlocked LG G6 models have two pages of root, ROMs, kernels, recovery. It's only the carrier-branded 2017 LG models which are crippled.
______
* The official carrier unlocked US998 will be sold by LG, Best Buy, Amazon, B&H Photo and possibly other retailers. Not to be confused with the U.S. Cellular model US998 which is the "unofficial" carrier unlocked model. The U.S. Cellular US998 will not qualify for bootloader unlock as it's sold by a carrier.

This is not correct at 100%.
Internal variant have the possibility to unlock the locked commands by flashings the unlock bin file provided by LG, but normally they have locked adb/fastboot commands too.
This is not meant to discuss, but just to add some more precise informations, since I've unlocked both G5 and G6, and I'll probably get a V30 =)

This is not meant to discuss, but just to add some more precise informations, since I've unlocked both G5 and G6, and I'll probably get a V30 =)

Yes it is correct. The dev-friendly official carrier unlocked models have bootloader unlock on request by going to the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock page. They have full ADB flash commands after unlocking the bootloader.
You only quoted one sentence of what I wrote. I clearly mentioned the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock site several times and even included links to it.
My point is he's lumping ALL the LG V30 into one box, and some of the models will be dev friendly with capability of full ADB flash commands. Those will have root, ROMs, TWRP within a week of being placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list. It's only the CARRIER BRANDED models which are crippled.
The op should edit the title to specify carrier-branded LG V30, if that's what he really intends to discuss.

There's no negativity. Just stating the discussion should be limited to a subset of the LG V30 models -- the ADB crippled carrier branded models. And in reality, it seems you are REALLY only discussing ONE specific model of that subset -- the T-Mobile LG V30?
Because all the other carrier-branded models would additionally need an exploit to crack the bootloader, once you solve the root/TWRP problems on the T-Mobile model.
Initially you said "fastboot commands have been removed" from the LG V30 -- and that's ONLY verified true of the T-mobile model. Yes, we assume it's true of the other carrier branded models, but you would have to crack the bootloaders of those models to verify. However, that statement is NOT true of the official carrier unlocked models (North America US998, European H930), as they will be placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list and will quickly have root, TWRP, ROMs, kernels, etc -- just like their LG G6 counterparts.
You've now edited the initial post to clarify, which is good and will no longer confuse people. You probably were thinking about the T-mobile LG V30 when you created this thread, but this forum is for ALL LG V30 models, not just T-mobile. If you want to discuss only T-mobile LG V30, you need to clearly state that. Now you have.
I wish you all the luck and success.

i do apologize about not labeling it as t-mobile
Root
Isn't this similar to how the G5 was rooted
Man rooting a tmobile v30 is going to be tough but i was looking at the build.prop just to look at things. The prop denies root obviously enough but now to figure out ways to get some partitions to mount as rw. which will take the longest time to figure out. Plus there is no way to recover the phone in case of a brick at this time. Sheesh should have listened to chazzmat.
Ps I didnt know it had a bootloader unlock count until I "unlocked my bootloader". You can relock it but it shows the number of times you have unlocked it. There goes my warranty

Hi op. This is indeed promising if true. How did you determine the command is still present? I've tried the flash commands and I received errors back. Though I'm pretty sure I never tried flash all
Edit.. oh you're talking about the flash-all script inside the ota package? Do we have an ota zip floating around yet? I'll gladly get into this if so. I have a device sitting at home
cant wait to get a stock version of android, thank you guys.
We need a ota file to modify first
Wasn't there a root method where they injected su in to a firmware for the G4?
I've successfully built the kernel from source, I don't have the ramdisk though. Maybe simply building twrp is a better option. This is futile without any update.zip or anything though

I'm willing to attempt porting TWRP if anyone is willing to message me on IRC for test builds. Wolfgart seems to have gone AFK. No guarantees I can get it working, but I'll try!

Stateside is coming next, for the "open market" US998 -- hopefully within the next month. That US998 isn't even released yet.
Took 3 weeks from time European H930 was released (early November 2017) to be placed on LG Bootloader unlock list (November 27, 2017).
Well, the the North American "open market" US998 will be released December 5. (Ordered mine yesterday, and going to order a 2nd LG V30 in about a month.) So, maybe December 27 it will be added to the LG Bootloader Unlock list?
Earlier this year, took SIX WEEKS for the LG G6 North American "open market" US997 to be placed on the LG bootloader unlock list... So, let's hope it's only the same three weeks (like the H930) for the LG V30 "open market" US998* !

* NO, not the U.S. Cellular model. The "open market" US998, non-carrier branded model. The OFFICIAL carrier unlocked model US998.

another update on TWRP status
adb and mtp are working great
working on getting mass storage working (accessing sdcard the old school way from pc!)

Lol !1 True LG best get a move on then!
that's weird. they decided to unlock the LG V30+ model (Italy - H930G) unlike the G6+ which wasn't unlocked.
cool
not expecting anything here in israel though - we also have the H930G - but we are not Italy

I'm hoping LG will release a V30+ variant of the "open market"'US998. And of course placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list.
That will be my 2nd LG V30. My wife will get the first one (64GB), which I pre-ordered yesterday from B&H Photo.
Since LG has not officially announced the open market version US998, we really don't know what they're going to release, other than that pre-order page on B&H Photo. There will be other authorized retailers for the US998...but only B&H Photo seems to be offering pre-orders.

that's a good option - but i also want to have insurance for my phone, and it only covers the H930G Israel Varient, so i will have to stick to the unrootable model unfortunatly.
Hi ,I am a newbie at Android and XDA forum (and it's my first post), sorry if it's not the correct way to ask you a question.
i was wondering where did you find your H930G model ? I was on LG Italia and they do not propose yet this model either via shop nor Internet. orders are yet not possible. But they do advertise for this model !
Will be there a way to order the H930G in Italia for a French resident ? I precise that I m only interested in V30+ (128Go), I know that H930 is admissible for unlock bootloader.
Thanks for your precious help.
Hi,
Im more curious if the carrier version of the V30 from A1 can also be bootloader unlocked... Its an Austrian Provider, so it should be a H930. I asked in their community forums but got no answer, just "try it yourself"...
I might consider buying it there, in some time, but only if i can do with the device what i want ?
If someone might know something, i would be glad if you could let me know

So I am using AT&T version Zfold 4 model SM-F936U/DS in India and my software version is as follows:

Service provider software version
SAOMC_SM-F936U_OYN_GCF_12_0003
GCF/GCF.GCF/XAA
Its stuck on android 12 May update.
I want to flash Indian firmware to make it Indian version of Z fold 4 for faster updates and enabling the call recorder.
What do I need to do? Any help will be appreciated. If this is answered anywhere please provide links to that thread and I will delete this one.
I am totally confused about CSC, firmware version, carrier version etc.
Not gonna happen without root, even then might be difficult.
The Indian model is a F936B model. Trying to flash the firmware on it is like trying to flash IOS on an android.
Did see a way to change CSC in the forum however I believe you needed to have the compatible variant as it needed the OXM ROM flashed 1st.

Your phone, F936U, is carrier locked to the U.S. network, AT&T, and if genuine, can only receive updates when connected on their network as unlike other models, AT&T issue their own firmware updates.
This model also has a locked bootloader which prevents the flashing of alternative stock firmware.
Also, it seems strange that a phone that was only launched in August 2022 would have a, "May", update. Install DevCheck, free from the Play Store and check if you have a clone phone.

Seems genuine. Your mention of a May update threw me.
It is running the F936USQU1AVGA firmware which it was launched with and therefore, has never received an update.
However, it is still a bootloader locked model, even though you have it carrier unlocked. The only way to update it is to insert an AT&T SIM card and connect to their network in the US. Other than that, you will need to do a search to see if there are any custom ROM's that utilises the locked AT&T bootloader. Alternatively, just carry on using it as it is

No experience with AT&T but if they release their firmware online then you should be able to download & flash latest using ODIN.

Hi Chirag,
were you able to update your phone? I have the same model(SM-F936U/DS) and stuck with an old update and no new updates show up even though Andriod 13 has been rolled out for the Indian variants.
if there is no possibility of updating the phone then I might consider selling it! any help woud be appreciated.

There is no way I could find online to get the updates. Nothing works. The only way is to have US sim and be connected to AT&T network in US to get the update which is impossible. So I guess we are stuck with the old os version.

Hi Chirag,
Thanks for the revert. Thats a bummer that we can't do anything with the update. I can still make my peace with the slow updates but having no updates especially the security updates is very concerning.
I will keep you posted in case I happen to come across any solution to this.

Hi Chirag,
I can confirm the method mentioned shorty9210 indeed works! I just changed the CSC to T-Mob and the updates have started flowing. Just use the samFw.com tool to change the CSC, you will get T-MOB logo once you have changed the CSC but the updates will come by. It didnt delete the data too. Couldnt be any happier!
Give it a shot!
Cheers,
Amit.
