Develop Bugs

Where is the developer support?

I am sure this question has been asked before, but why aren't we getting any Roms yet? And more importantly, will we ever get a AOSP Marshmallow rom?

As I've read from a lot of other posts, it's because there is no way to unlock the bootloader

It depends which variant you have. If you happen to own the H811 or H815 you can unlock the bootloader of yours. Anything else, and either you're doomed or you can only wait for LG to add your device to the unlockables list.
There was a debate on one of the forums here, can't remember, about which version is more common. The argument was that although there are more non-unlockable variants, there count is insignificant compared to the combined amount of sold H811s and H815s, which are both unlockable. Also, the G4 may be around for quite some time now, but the official bootloader unlock is only possible since June and thus development on it is still in its earliest stages. Be patient =)
In theory, it should take some time until you see more development on these devices.

You can unlock G4 bootloader officially

My bad. Only the H815 EU Model can officially be unlocked.

[TMO H932 ONLY] Progress Towards Root/TWRP/ROMs (not achieved yet)

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 =)

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

There's a guy here In the forum who said they had the files..but he never released them to us..

Does anyone know if someone is working on a bootloader unlock/root for other models?

I know the EM can be rooted, but is someone working on a bootloader unlock for the other G7 models?

I got in touch with TMobile to see if their version would be bootloader unlockable. They gave me the run around, told me to contact LG who hasn't responded. One thing I did manage to get out of TMobile was a firm denial that they requested the device remain locked its likely apathy on the part of LG holding us back at this point. ?I haven't dug into mine yet because I have more interesting unlocked devices to work on

Giving that the only European models can be unlocked most likely not but maybe a bug in the future.

Have saw a AWM model which flash to EM model and get its bootloader unlocked on a second hand trading website in China. The seller said he flash the EM firmware and change the IMEI in order to unlock his phone "officially"

I'm eagerly waiting for the US unlocked G710ULM. If this variant is unlocked, why didn't LG unlocked bootloader?, it's been almost 4 months of no news from LG. .Why giving special status to unlocked European models , since LG V30? If that's the case then LG G6 US997 could be the last US model enjoying root?

Has there been any updates progress on rooting other G7 Models?

I have an G7+ model LMG7EAW, the european international model. Does anyone know if progress on my model and other G7's is being made? I know the developer RunningNak3d(he's a user on XDA) is attempting to develop one from what i've read of his posts, but he posts within the other LG phone subforums and just mentions the G7 offhand. It's kind of hard to follow because he posts info in disparate threads, there is no centralized G7 thread he is posting in. He is only one working on it afaik. Hoping someone knows the current state of development on root for other G7 models besides the EM.

Until the price comes down so I can pick one up on eBay, I am not working on it right now.
I will be working on the V40 before the G7 now that there is a model that has an unlockable bootloader. However, that work should apply to the G7.

The g7 has an unlockable bootloader model, the lm-g710em can be bootloader unlocked and rooted. If you could obtain one of those phones, would it be possible to find a way to unlock the bootloaders of all other G7 models through some sort of exploit? LG has a terrible track record for unlocking bootloaders and getting their phones rooted from what i've read, so i'm curious if the 710em would be a starting point for you to get all the G7 models unlockable and rootable. There are few threads on the G7 development subforum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/development
I can try to find a good deal on that model for you, do you have a budget range?
Also, i'm grateful for all you've done and your work. Thank you.

Why don't you wait for pie first? Once pie is out you will not be able to install it without losing root.

Flashing generic Samsung firmware to carrier branded Tab S4 (SM-T837T -> SM-T835)

I think this has been asked before in a different way in this section but no real response yet. I did some research in the other Samsung device forums and see that often it is possible to remove branding or switch carriers adjusting device ID and bootloader etc. But no idea how to do it for the Tab S4.
I'm sick of waiting for slow updates through T-Mobile (or any carrier) and would like to fully unlock it's potential with Android 10 rather sooner than later. I bought this device second hand network unlocked.
Any short or long answer to these questions? Can it be done? If so where to start?

Am looking to do so, with the t835 you will have full calling functionality,,,

The short answer is no.
I've tried that after I found my T837V can be successfully loaded with T837R4/T837T/... firmware. I thought maybe I could flash stock firmware of other versions. But if you do that with any firmware other than T837*, you will get "secure check fail pit" error. So sadly no.

Thanks for the response! So it does mean you can freely flash T837 versions which could mean I can just wait for the first version that comes out with android 10. Any first release should work. Right?

T837 is Turkey version and I've tried it. It can't be loaded, maybe it need to be T837x which are all US variants.
As for Android 10 update, I think this will work. I'm waiting for the first one who gives the OneUI 2.1 update. So far the Verizon version(T837V) seems to have the most active firmware updates.

In the USA, SM-T837 ARE carrier tablets.
There are the SM-T837A, V, and T; ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile. TheSe are locked to the Carrier. If you have them unlock it, OTA upgrades are over. If you know how to hack the firmware, you can write over the carrier version. The best way to go is probably custom ROM AND ROOTING. But in other nations, it will probably work to write a different Samsung ROM. The SM-T835 HAS no US version, so you can probably write any tab s4 Factory ROM to it.
The USA HAS so many cellular devices, the rules are strict. And, the carriers sell the devices pretty cheap. So, they want them to stay with their service.

T-mobile update for android 10 finally out just got it
