You can't root it without unlocking bootloader. There is a method to avoid data erasing when unlocking bootloader. Look into the Guides section. Gcam on android Pie doesn't work well, I gotta say. It can't focus and images come out blurry. So if this is your first time with this kind of stuff, I'd suggest you to keep the phone stock.

On Android Oreo the Gcam worked great and it took amazing pictures but on Pie the difference isn't visible because of the focus issue. I've tried other camera apps on Play Store but none of them are much different than the stock. You can try the ones on Play Store and see for yourself, I can't recommend anything else than sticking to stock. :good:

Hi all I got a chance to play around with a G960u for Tmobile and I reflashed the software to Combination R2. Long story short I allow developer mode and saw oem toggle!!! Also the combination was running Android 8.0. I remember g950u root was achieved up until r3 I believe but no android oreo. So devs feel free to do what you do best. Hope this helps.

oem unlock is only available in the combination rom it does not really help anything
Yea but we don't have a device brave to build off it?

No because the bootloader is still locked
I honestly thought to unlock a bootloader you just switched the toggle on

I already rooted the phone and all that is just that i flashed this rom and is missing the device unlock app.
Could someone who is still on stock ROM extract the T-Mobile's Simlock App from /system/priv-app(oreo)
Should we do a wipe first or just installing over is ok?

You the man.. can you add g7 ar camera stickers.. I just tried to do it using the system dump but I don't know which files to pull.. if you can do a full system port as a g7 rom thats even better.. great work.. flashing now.. if I do decide to sim unlock, just add the T-Mobile SIM unlock app?

I'll see what I can do about maybe making a flashable for the Camera as this is just a Stock base I don't wanna add something others may not want. I'm super busy so may be a couple days. I'll also upload a new link that has the T-Mobile SIM unlock app added back.
Hey, sorry for the dumb question but I keep on seeing 20K, 20D etc behind the rom versions - what does it mean?

Stock LG firmware version the ROM is based on. 10 is Nougat, 20 starts Oreo.
For some reason European bottle builds are at higher versions (20Y even 21A), but that doesn't mean they are more advanced than North American 20E.

If you referring to flashing this rom.. Ignore it like I did.. Some parts say 20d.. Magisk says it when flashing but you get 20k.. Mine rebooted 3 times for full boot.. Twrp acted up like I had nothing but recovery after flashing, but I have vendor partition with no treble rom.. The button key combo fixed the issue.. Booted normal and then recovery started acting right.. But if you looking for old to new, the higher the combination, the newer.. 10d>20d>20k

Maybe try adb pull /system which should have all the apks from system minus the ones with elevated privileges. Well if you have the g7 to do that from

Fingerprint scanner is not working for me after flashing. Anyone else having this problem?
Edit: Data was encrypted. Wiped data and reflashed fixed it
Gonna have an update for ya guys did some tweaking on the kernel so grab your favorite kernel manager and see what settings work best for you!, removed T-Mobile boot for Pixel boot and Shutdown animation added all Android P UI notification and ringtones. More to come later trying to get best stock experience possible. Don't ask for original apks please they are pretty easy to find.

I would really like to see devs work on this one. I ended up getting this phone because i was a few bucks short of getting the V40. Having the Hi-Fi audio DAC really makes music sound better.
But honestly it's not even close to competing with V4A. Which i guess now i know for sure, i NEED this on my phone.
I would love to root my phone one day just for that. As long as it's stable and works good for that (And preferably Magisk and Adaway as well..) I need it done.
Hi I am interested in this service. I will be buying one in a few days and would like to have this service done. Can anyone pm me? Seems I can't.

haha he is 100% legit and a nice guy. out of Vietnam I believe.IF i need to i have plenty of screenshots and also video of the entire process however teamviewer is needed for him to do it. have ADB and drivers installed already. and have the firmware both oreo and Pie downloaded before starting with him. He uses a Octoplus Pro box and hooked me up. Very fair $20 for permanent Bootloader Unlock. I mean common.... great deal. GaihPhapAndroid. PM if any Questions.

Yes but I mean if I do not lose my files when updating, like my photos or applications I hope and you answer me fast because I am about to update
I didn't lose any files.
Heads up that payment apps do not currently work with this update. Android Pay says this is not an official rom, and LG Pay requires and update for android 10 that doesn't exist yet. I suspect because although it might be official firmware, it hasn't officially been released yet.
Hmmm thinking of pulling the trigger on this. Wondering if they made improvements in the camera app? Also wondering if there is a battery drain. A lot of updates from several different phone manufacturer's are reporting battery drain after updating to Android 10.
Yes

I notice the battery exactly the same, the camera improved and added new modes, but mainly the interface and fluidity of the Android 10 device improved much more than with Android 9
I took a gamble and decided to install it. Maaananaannnnn am I love this update. What a refinement! Feels like a new phone so much more polished that 9 was on the g8. Also loving the system wide dark made aka night mode. Everything is so buttery smooth
Meanwhile T-Mobile won't say anything on when they will push the update out for their variant. :crying:
With the security lock screen are the numbers suppose to be so small

Hi, Magisk is for root. If u want to do any modifications of your system the base is the root. But u need to unlock your bootloader and this will wipe all your data. If u don't know what is stay away.

Thank you for the advice. I haven't rooted a phone since the LG G3!!!
I'm really happy with the performance of the 9 pro as it is, it's a fantastic phone, especially for the measly sum of £450
I came from a Huawei p30 Pro which was also a great phone (apart from AAwireless headaches) but an update to EMUI 11 ruined it so I learned a hard lesson there.... Seek advice or research updates before you jump in head first
This forum has been a really helpful tool for me over the years, so thank you again everyone.
