Hey, I used to know about this stuff years ago but stopped so I'm a little lost.
I bought a LG G7 Canadian version off some person (Kijiji) and the phone works fine its fast but I noticed it wasn't normal.
When i start the phone up text says "your device software cannot be checked for corruption" then the phone works normally. The launcher also has a watermark that says userdebug 7.0.6 (70000600) 329.
I've spent the whole day trying to remove it but can't find a way bc Im scared I'll brick it since its Canadian Version.
I'm able to boot the phone into recovery and stuff.
In developer options it says the OEM is unlocked But I thought it wasn't possible with the Canadian version? The person I bought it from seemed clueless about it -_-
Some things to add - The IMEI works, calls etc. There's no S/N. The phone has no "ThinQ" brand on the back but it says LG. It's currently unrooted. I think they may have done that b4 selling to me?
Im too scared to root it myself. Tbh i just want the bootup to be normal and not ugly looking and I want the watermark gone. https://elit3rising.imgur.com/all/?third_party=1
Anyone willing to help me out with this?
Did you try factory reset see what happens?

I reset it 5 times. It has something to do with root. I cant post this in the other section. Resetting wont fix something that has to do with Bootloader stuff
Canadian version is not unlockable so my only assumption is the phone you have is not a Canadian version and perhaps crossed flashed to canadian firmware

Can you boot in fastboot?
Yes I can fastboot. And yeah that seems more logical and extremely more confusing at the same time

I'm on same phone. Dude that sold it to me said it's Euro model but it's showing Canadian LG-G710AWM20c and I'm the opposite, I want to root/unlock/bootloader unlock but keep running into dead ends. Anyone grab the wheel and point me somewhere usefully? I've done many searches & much reading. There is a root for uwm I believe it was, it was American, can I flash their firmware the unlock with modded bootloader? I'm will to try risky stuff if it has logic. Don't care much for the phone. If I ruin it just a reason to grab Samsung Galaxy S10.
Thanks in advance.
I'm ghost 4 now.... I'll check in every
So often.

First off, I apologize for posting this in the T-Mobile section, but there is not a TracFone S4 section so I'm posting it here in hopes that other pre-paid S4 users will find this. I've managed to root, install custom recovery, and flash a T-Mobile rom to my TracFone S4.
Basically, what I've done is tricked the phone into believing it's a T-Mobile version and installed the TMo TWRP. I've tested this on a SGH-S970G without issues. I don't have service on it yet. I'm hoping to find an unlock (with the help of others) and be able to use this on other GSM networks.
I'm not responsible for what you do but if you'd like to try it, here's the steps:
Root your phone. I used Kingo Root - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473747
Change your build.prop so that it reads as a T-Mobile S4. I used Root Explorer to navigate to /system/build.prop. Change:
ro.product.model to "SGH-M919"
ro.product.name to "jfltetmo"
ro.product.device to "jfltetmo"
Remove the quotations.
Reboot your phone so the changes will take place.
Install GooManager from the Play Store. Click menu, "Install OpenRecoveryScript", and "Yes" on the menu prompt. Your phone will download TWRP Recovery and flash it to your phone.
Click Reboot Recovery in Goo Manager and make a backup of your stock rom.
Download a TW Based 4.3 T-Mobile rom. Here's a stock deodexed one that seems to work nicely - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545711
Enjoy your awesome phone!
I've also tried to install a T-Mobile and/or AT&T radio without luck. Here's that thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324667.
I've tried flashing the radio through Odin, Mobile Odin, and TWRP. The Odin flashings fail and the TWRP seems to flash successfully but when I reboot, the old modem is still there. Using this tutorial, I've also pulled the modem for anyone who'd like to try to modify it or otherwise figure out how to change modems on this phone.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21738380/modem.bin
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21738380/NON-HLOS.bin
I'm attaching a screenshot of my current build status.

Hopefully, we can stir some development for the SGH-S970G!
Update - I flashed a 4.2.2 rom and was able to access the hidden menu per this article - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283068. At step 6, [3] PERSO SHA256 OFF is not there. I don't think this phone is unlockable.

You can't fully unlock this phone. Even with unlock code after the phone restarts you have to enter the code again. The radio does not allow it to be permanent. TracFone would need to either upgrade or apply some sort of firmware update to allow the phone to accept the unlock permanent. I've tried is 100% pure stock and still does the same thing. You are able to use normal but as soon as you restart is locks again. January 2015 is fast approaching, so am waiting as to what TracFone will do to fix this issue, otherwise people are going to complain.
Ok i'll keep this simple. I just got the tmobile note 3 replacement. And now I want to transfer everything over.
But first please point me with links and directions to how to do this quickest easiest and fool proof.
I'm not sure what firmware this replacement will have if its the latest NF1 when i boot i up with tmobile
Tell me there is a simple way to give it root and more importantly change the recovery to TWRP latest version.
I'm hoping there is a 1 step solution/windows app that will do all that. I just need tha done. THen I will just swap the microsd into the replacement and load the entire image stored on the card to the new phone. Is it really that simple? please let me know what I'm missing.
Don't tell me the NF1 carrier upgraded devices can't be unlocked. please i have no idea how to do this, don't just point me into the right threads, I have a disability of sifting thru info i am legally disabled. Pleaes help me make this transition as easy as possible.
My deepest thanks.
Hpe to hear from as many knowledgable feedback soon for me to get this done so i can send the defective back to tmobile.
Use my guide here...

Do you mind me asking what is wrong with your phone?
You can always Odin back the replacement phone to ne6 and make sure you do the bootloader too, and then use towelroot to reroot. Then just use titanium backup to back up your stuff from your old phone (assuming you already have root) then restore on the new phone.

Is it normal for everything to be NF except the baseband is still stuck at the old one. Is this normal? Is there a 900T NF1 bootloader? I heard nf1 HAS A NEW bootloader, but i can't flash it up to it. I've attached a screetshot.
Also, I CANT TETHER FOR FREE NO MORE! On my old note 3 with any ROM that doesn't do the tmobile tether turn on check, I can use tether unlimited by connecting to a proxy on my computer, but now for osme reason, it always redirects me to an upsell page just like on tmobile's official ROMs is there a new way around it? When I connect to the note 3 AP on my computer it automatically says theres "limited connectivity" please help, I want it the way of how it was on my note 3, does it have to do with the new radio? or is it something else? thanks.

Hi everyone
I bought a verizon premaid Luge about 2 weeks ago, and thanks to this forum i was able to #1 root the device using one of the tutorials, and #2 unlock de carrier, using another tutorial from this forum.
The only thing im left to do, which i can´t yet, is to unlock the bootloader.
why? well because i want to install a lollipop rom, the kitkat rom from motorola has flaws when it comes to sound issues, the speaker makes a high pitch noise constantly, like if there was an electricity discharge for half a second when there is 1 sound after the phone has been silent for a while, i searched for this issue and is related to kitkat, jellybean did not have this problem and they are not fixing it.
this is the phone i got, i want to know what are my alternatives to unlock the bootloader?
Is sigmabox pack2 the only way to have the bootloader unlocked? or nothing works yet?

1. This has been asked many times.
2. You didn't post any of the system info.
3. You don't need to start a new thread, there are a dozen threads just like this, that have been active in the last month.

Currently there is no bootloader unlock method for your System Version.
mm not even with sigmabox pack 2 ?

Even if that works, you need to find someone who has one, or buy one for about a $100.

As the title says, I installed the ASUS Official Unlock tool (and didn't really read it, as you should) and it attempted a boot unlock without SU. The funny thing is, it did exactly what it said it would do and rebooted into the Bootloader. The Bootloader said (and still does) it was a success and that the phone will reboot in 5 seconds. Which is fine, except it's doing that every single time I enter the Bootloader. I can't get it to stop doing that so I can actually do the root and re-do the unlock. The phone still functions perfectly fine otherwise.. any advice? (Yes, I can get it into recovery mode) Hopefully that didn't ban me from OTA.
EDIT: It also turned my boot screen white, and I also tried to use the sideloader, but I already have the latest ASUS firmware so that didn't help. However, in my loader I noticed some weird stuff showing about a MOD_SDUPDATE.ZIP not being found.. I don't know what's that about. It was doing that before I tried to use the sideloader.

dunno what exactly happened, but you can do " Using Stock.zip from ASUS site:" from here, that should fix basically everything: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835
P.S.: your data won't be lost, however your app ache will be cleared, meaning you'll be logged out everywhere. So if you have some game and no account, that game state will be lost.
So I tried that, first with the ROM that's installed on the phone the .97 version. Then with the original version. It appears to actually install the .97 version, but that does absolutely nothing for the phone and if I try an older version it just tells me it can't flash an older version. Should flashing the same version over-top have taken care of the problem? Doesn't look like it did anything. The boot loader is probably unlocked, but I can't keep it in ADB mode long enough to do anything useful and you can't sideload a recovery to my knowledge.
EDIT: I named the file wrong in my tiredness. I did it again and loaded in recovery...
EDIT2: That did not work.
You're in a lot of company... There's a couple of threads about this with ASUS reps also saying the same thing....

I don't actually know what you mean by that? With the ASUS unlocking tool causing it to reboot in the bootloader improperly or the booting of the file from Recovery?
The phone isn't actually "broken" but now... I can't do anything to it without the use of ADB.. Which blows.
EDIT: Also, can you point me to these threads?

Yep. We're hoping @ASUS_Khang gets a solution from HQ next week to get us back on track!
