You probably need to unlock the bootloader, both in dev settings and again with fastboot. fastboot will wipe data

It's been a while since I used Fastboot.
Do you know the exact commands to unlock the bootloader?

Regarding root access, this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/root-lg-k10-420ds-t3479902
Explains how tho get root on a similar phone like LG k10 using kingroot. Other members have told me I don't have too unlock my boot loader before attempting too gain root.
Do you know if there is any truth in that?

No you don't need to unlock your bootloader to root your phone. Some devices need it.

I bricked my phone while replacing KingRoot with SuperSu. I don't trust Kingroot, removing KingRoot method for LG K10 for now.

the kingroot method doesn't work for me.. I have k430n (mediatek variant)
i just noticed this new trick which looks promising.. but i haven't tried it yet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/twrp-root-lg-k8-k350n-t3475807

If you stop at "Your device ia corrupt... " Just use LG Bridge, works well!

One question is there is that is same for lg k420ds

Pixel XL Stuck, Can't even get into recovery mode PLEASE HELP ME

It is stuck on a screen with the battery. I can get to bootloader mode but cannot get into recovery. Bootloader is locked... Please help
Basically I had the bootloader unlocked and it was rooted. I unrooted the phone and then I locked the bootloader and I am here now. Just wanted to make it go back to stock.

Is it a carrier model or a play store

There probably isn't, if you've altered system and relock and toggle OEM unlocking off in dev. options you get bricked.

Did you try:
fastboot flashing unlock
Since you only relocked, you unlikely toggled "OEM unlock"?!
If it fails, I think you are SOL. Maybe someone with a proper solution will chime in. Otherwise, you have to RMA your device...
Good luck...

Hey... Go into recovery and perform a factory reset.
Reboot bootloader and flash stock firmware. You could flash both slots to be sure your device is completely clean.
I wrote a how-to for someone having another issue. You.can follow this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71849370&postcount=28
When you are finished with flashing, reboot to be sure your system boot properly and your phone works as it should...
From here you can reboot into bootloader and issue:
fastboot flashing lock
If It was me I'd leave it unlocked though... Or at least OEM unlock enabled and ADB debugging ON. Since Google tend to release messed up OTA, you can always unlock the bootloader if needed.
But if you wish you can also disable the OEM unlock.
Good luck...

I'm pretty inexperienced with this kind of stuff and so you might have to explain it a bit further than what that link says. I did fastboot reboot bootloader in terminal but it can't find my device. Also I couldnt get into recovery when it was bricked so I probably still can't

Hey...
You boot into bootloader when the Device is powered off
Just like in your video: with power + volume down
You can see infos regarding:
Bootloader
Radio
S/N
DRAM
Boot-slot=
Etc...
This is the bootloader :good:
From here, unzip the google image you have downloaded, open the folder and from here run the flash-all script. Let your device reboot. Power it down, boot into bootloader again with power + volume down. Change active slot as I described in the link I gave you previously. Run the same flash-all again... Done!
Just for safety, remove your Google account before you continue. You'll add it again later...
Good luck...

Hey... Flash both slots... Just to be sure both are clean and nothing problematic​ remains on your device before locking your bootloader!
It could brick installing an OTA or whatever. Better restart 100% clean. :good:
Cheers...

Just flash the flash-all, relock and call it a day. Then you'll be fully stock and locked. I would however recommend rebooting once before locking to make sure its all good.

Cannot boot into bootloader/fastboot

Hello guys I have H815 and I can't proceed with unlocking bootloader cause my phone cannot boot into bootloader/fastboot mode. I'm not newbie, but with this phone everything goes ****ing different than in instruction.
I the instruction there is adb reboot bootloader. Of course my phone is seen in adb mode but after this command it just reboot to system. I tried also key combinations with no luck...
What to do?
My system is android 6

Hi,
I'm the same...
looking for solution I found this on Youtube:
Pratically, you have to press vol up while connect USB on PC....
I haven't the G4 with my today and so I cannot test if this is a valid mode...
If you do this, let me know if you can enter in fastboot mode

I did that and yeah it entered this mode but it's not valid bootloader/fastboot mode. It's some service mode to update firmware. Anyway it's not visible in pc as a normal fastboot and I cannot proceed further with unlocking bootloader...
Edit: it's download mode... So as I said it's not fastboot mode.
Anyone can help?

Seriously nobody? I thought this phone has good community and support...

I'm facing the exact same problem with my H810 on 6.0. Sick of not being able to root atleast.
Seriously hasn't anyone on earth found a way to boot this **** in fastboot? I mean there are a number of tutorials but everything goes different as F*** with this thing. Hope someone will update with good news. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Thanks yeah I checked but that's for ARB<=2 devices. I forgot to mention earlier this godforsaken thing is ARB3.

I have an H811 (T-Mo) running firmware H81120p, ARB3. Doesn't seem to be much that can be done with it as far as rooting. It also has no stock recovery, only boots to system.

you did follow this official guide right? it unlocked mine after a few angry moments
http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
use minimal ADB https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Only way to boot twrp later is to use fastboot with ADB, recovery with buttons doesn't work.
if the device wont boot a rom use adb to get back in recovery.
if you use bank apps, install magisk before installing rom, do not get SU

Only problem is that the info linked to above applies to ONE G4 variant only - the H815 international model. The rest of us are SOL. The bootloader on US carrier G4 - AT&T, T-Mo, VzW, etc (most later firmware revisions for G3 as well) models has been nailed down. The only exception is a G4 with ARB <= 2 can be hacked with UsU in order to root it and install a custom recovery.

Tmo is very easy
Go to dev options and enable adb
Then run "adb reboot bootloader"
Once there, run "fastboot oem unlock" and voila, you have an officially unlocked bootloader with no restrictions related to UsU
Please be aware the above will factory reset your device

Do you know anyone who has done it with H81120o or later? I've seen posts for two yrs about doing it that way, but I don't remember reading about it being done on 20o or later.

Why v20o
Remember, this has nothing to do with UsU and therefore ARB etc doesn't matter
Edit: ps there are loads of H811 users in my Lineage thread and the other ROMs too

Got it. Guess that it makes sense. ARB prevents rolling back to earlier release than 20o, I'm ok. Will try the BL unlock today then.

I actually managed to get my LG V20 F800L into same situation after messing up my rooting process.
First i was stuck at logo and factory reset did nothing. Bootloader was working then.
Then i downloaded new firmware through "Download Mode", and after that i lost access to bootloader.
I know the phone model is different, but process seems to be very similar for all LG devices.
Trying to troubleshoot that atm, if i'll have results i'll post them here.
P.S. I know original poster long left (probably after throwing phone into a grinder), but maybe for someone with same problem as us in the future the info will be useful.

Ok, now i have to reply to my own post, since i believe i understand now something important:
LG phones usually dont have bootloader open to access. Until you use some exploits to do so.
I did not know that at the time of writing that reply.

LG V30+ download missing, root gone, and bootloader locked

I would like to thank everyone for there support for this most awesome but difficult phone. I have an unlocked US LG V30+ phone which an error in cross flashing accidently caused my phone to loose everything I needed to use LGUP. Does anyone know of an exe rom to flash on this phone to regain download option or a full restore to start fresh to do the rooting the right way? I know some mobile devices have exe for full restore but haven't found one for this phone yet.
Thanks again and I hope for a possible positive answer.

Question Locked phone stuck in Fastboot mode

Hey everyone!
I was updating to the latest Android beta to try to get the Move to iOS app to work. The update seemingly went fine and I was using my phone (on reddit lol) and suddenly it powered off.
Now when it starts I get a black screen that asyas "Fastboot Mode". My phone isn't unlocked so I haven't done anything funky with the firmware.
I'm afraid I've lost everything on the phone
Here's a picture of what the phone shows:
https://imgur.com/oBpGFGX

Well, the fact you can boot into fastboot is good news
Before we talk about possible actions:
- what ROM exactly were you coming from ? Was that rooted or with a custom kernel ? Was the device unlocked ?
- what ROM exactly have you been flashing ? By using which method ? Any additional steps you did while/after flashing this ?

You should never install Betas without having the bootloader unlocked. Is OEM unlocking at least enabled in Developer Options (I know you can't get in there right now, but was it enabled before the phone stopped being able to boot to Android)? If OEM unlocking is enabled, even with the bootloader locked now, you can try Official Google Android Flash Tool (OEM Unlocking needs to be toggled on - you may not have to manually unlock the bootloader - the "site" will do that on its own).
If OEM unlocking isn't enabled, there's probably nothing you can do to fix the phone - you'll have to RMA it.

You can sideload OTA updateds without USB debugging enabled. It's really the only way forward for op.
