how to root withoit octoplus box?
Does this mean that if I was to flash Project Fi KDZ on an ATT V35, I could unlock the bootloader and follow this guide? Thanks in advance for answering my question.

Yes but you would want to flash the unlocked kdz. Not Fi as you can't use a crossflashed v35 with Fi because the IMEI won't work on Sprint.

Sorry, don't understand what Sprint has to do with rooting ATT sim-unlocked V35 as i am using a T-Mobile MVNO. Reading through the Reddit post it seems you still need bootloader unlocked to follow this guide and from what i am understanding crossflashing V35 will not unlock bootloader? (edit:
I have read through all posts here, no mention of how to unlock bootloader). Thanks.
Edit 2: Actually, please disregard my post as OP post mentions "bootloader unlocked Pie", i just misunderstood.
I guess what I'm saying is that there is no advantage in using Fi with a cross flashed AWM as it will not switch to sprints network. This will throw an error from time to time and will result in the phone only using TMobile.
That said, why not flash the us unlocked kdz as it has no bloat and features that you can't use doe to IMEI limitations.
The only way to bootloader unlock is to use an octopus to flash a file to your phone. You can do this by a) buying an octopus and figuring it out
Or.
B) finding someone to do it for you remotely for a fee.
Pm me if you want details on someone I've used successfuly several times on v35s.
I also have a v350ulm that's mint, flashed to pie and already bootloader unlocked for sale if anyone is interested.

Right. I don't understand people's obsession with cross flashing to Google Fi firmware when they can't really use Google Fi. They're better off flashing North American Open firmware, to remove bloat.
(Edited for clarification I meant cross flashing.)
Yes. Unless you actually have a ULM

What twrp do i use? do i use the stock abl attached to the post? when do i flash the magisk or the patched boot?
1.You need to be on latest ULM Oreo - V350ULM10i
2. Make sure you have checked slider in settings>>system>>developer options ENABLE OEM unlock
3. Enter 9008 and use the guide to flash the abl_a and abl_b only
4. Restart phone into fastboot by pressing Vol- and plugging it to USB cable and execute:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
!!!beware that all of your data will be erased!!!
5. You can download already magisk patched boot for 10i from here
6. Flash it via fastboot.
Warning - unlocking bootloader ramps your Widevine check to L3 which means that you will not be able to watch Netflix HD content

do i flash the engineering bootloader to both the abl_a and b or just a or b? will the 10i zip upgrade the device to android 9 or will i have to do another step?
Both slots is safer, but if you are sure and know which is your active slot (a or b) flash the abl only on it.

Of course not. You will have rooted and bootloader unlocked V35 on Oreo 10i.
For latest Pie 20E you will need to upgrade again via LGUP and perform additional tasks on enabling fastboot again and to flash patched with Magisk boot.img
Be also warned that all of the steps have a high risk of bricking your device, so if you have no idea what are you doing better do not start the process!

ok thank you sorry about asking all these questions just want to make sure that i do everything right and not screw it up
I still need some clarity with this. Can the at&t variant achieve the bootloader unlock with this method? I've seen that you can cross flash ulm pie onto it with no problem (which I have done myself) but of course the software version is still shown as v350AWM20d

NEW software!!!!!...... LGUP WILL FLASH YOUR KDZ files
Download LGUP from here http://www.filedropper.com/g4 or here https://www.dropbox.com/s/d2dw48uqh4hku8m/G4.rar?dl=0 or here http://oceanhost.eu/eps4h4pmwphu/LGUP.zip.htm thank you hyelton for this link :good:
Install LGUP_8994_DLL_Ver_0_0_3_23 first and then LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3
Make sure you have downloaded the required KDZ file MM or LP
Start LGUP prog on your computer "make sure your phone is plugged in"
ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE WITH LGUP NOT SEEING YOUR MOBILE?
Try this....... take the back off your mobile so you can get at the battery. Connect your mobile via USB. Start LGUP, if it does not see your phone DO NOT DISCONECT, DO NOT RESTART OR TURN OFF LGUP. Take out the battery and then put it back in.......let the phone restart on its own. LGUP should now see it.
THANK YOU FOR THIS Killerdog:good: <~~~To Modify This File You Must Have Root!!
For me it's show in LGUP as unknow device.
reboot my phone, remove battery and anything else don't work.
I install LG Bridge to test, and nothing seem to work.
After make some test and search, i find some info modified by S3V3N into his rom (cust partition) that he have modify into this file:
/cust/OPEN_COM/cust_OPEN_EU.prop
Code:
ro.lge.swversion=[COLOR="Red"]some info[/COLOR]
ro.lge.swversion_short=[COLOR="Red"]some info[/COLOR]
change to
Code:
ro.lge.swversion=[COLOR="Red"]H81510c[/COLOR]
ro.lge.swversion_short=[COLOR="Red"]V10c[/COLOR]
restart my phone and woow it show correctly in LGUP and i can refurbish my phone.
TO UPGRADE TO MM from LP - make sure BIN file is ticked and in the File Path point it towards the MM KDZ you have downloaded. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CLICKED UPGRADE! This will update you from LP to MM with out wiping any of your info. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
TO DO A FULL WIPE AND INSTALL MM - Open the LGUP on your computer. FILE PATH point it towards the MM KDZ.
IMPORTANT!!!!!!! shut down LGUP!
Now open LGUP again - you will notice that the MM KDZ will still be showing in the FILE PATH section. Select REFURBISH and make sure BIN file is ticked. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
TO GO BACK TO LP FROM MM - Open LGUP on your computer, click on FILE PATH and point it towards your LP KDZ. Close LGUP and re-open LGUP. Make sure you select REFURBISH this will do a full wipe, tick BIN file. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
If you are worried about losing your data after a full wipe, why not use the LG Bridge software to backup and restore.... it works fine!
YOU WILL LOSE ROOT!
There is no need to enter download mode! LGUP will do it for you.

INSTALL TWRP
Make sure you have ADB and Fastboot installed.
I always put TWRP.img in the ADB folder - so if I want to boot into TWRP with out installing it this is what I do:
make sure you open a command prompt in the ADB folder "VERY IMPORTANT" and type:
adb reboot bootloader <enter>
fastboot boot TWRP.img <whatever your TWRP image is called in your ADB folder><enter> dont forget the .img at the end
That will re-start your phone straight into TWRP - You can transfer files to and from your computer while in recovery.
If you want to install TWRP permanently, copy your TWRP image to your mobile "while you are in TWRP RECOVERY mode" then press install then select images then select recovery NOT BOOT then swipe to flash. This method does not install TWRP app on your phone, all you need is a reboot app from the play store that will re-boot you into recovery.

Not sure but I'll put that in the op cheers.
Do you need root so use this method to upgrade to marshmallow ?
H81520A_00.Kdz flashed (by upgrade option) succesfully. It takes 10-15 mins(longest part is "android upgrading" screen.), and i lost root access. By the way root access is not necessary for upgrade.
So since it wasn't clarified, I'll be the one to ask...
Will this work on a unit without root (which is yes according to the OP), and without a bootloader unlock, ie the Taiwan (TWN) variant of the H815.
I completely understand it's a complete wipe and root will not be retained.
I would also like to know about this..... will it work on a unit with a locked bootloader... TWN variant?
downloaded from a different mirror re flashed no problems

i tried with this tutorial , but the program search my lg g4 with unknown model and i can't use this procedure..
why?
at moment i have a unlocked bootloader and a 10 ve rooted rom twrp
Disclaimer
I'm am not responsible nor is anyone on xda for you bricking your phone!!
This requires a UsUed device
(I recommend if you have not UsUed your phone yet and you are still on 13b, flash to 2ba before you do the UsU!! it will make life easier for you )
DO NOT FLASH KDZ AFTER YOU UsUed YOUR PHONE!! IT WILL MESS UP YOUR PHONE UP PERMANENTLY!!
Edit: well actually with the vs986 model, you could flash the kdz and re UsU'ed it, but it's still risky and I don't recommend it!
(when salt v4 comes out it will give a flash option for UsUed devices)
Let's Start!!
If you already have 2ba installed with UsU well lucky you!!:good: you can skip to rooting.
If you did UsU without 2ba or any 6.0 android firmware installed you will need to update the boot stack.
you need fastboot for this ( I recommend using FWUL for this)
This is all done in the terminal.
Download
files
TWRP
magisk
Boot Stack Update
Only required if you did the UsU on a lollipop firmware.
For better info about how to do a boot stack update look at FAQ #20
This is where "I'm not responsible" part comes in!! if you mess this up it will HARD BRICK it!!
If you are afraid that you will mess this up you could wait for salt v4 to come out. (it will let you flash kdz with UsU!!)
Download everything in the boot stack folder and go to the downloads folder and run these commands in terminal.
Code:
fastboot flash factory factory.image
fastboot flash hyp hyp.bin
fastboot flash modem modem.bin
fastboot flash pmic pmic.bin
fastboot flash rpm rpm.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.bin
fastboot flash sdi sdi.bin
fastboot flash sec sec.bin
fastboot flash tz tz.bin
If something failed here do NOT reboot!!
Ask for help!
Flashing Firmware
you could just flash this stock firmware.zip but if that did not work for you try this method:
Download everything in the firmware folder and go to the downloads folder and run these commands in terminal.
Code:
fastboot flash system system.image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp-x.x.x.img
(replace twrp-x.x.x to whatever version you download)
Now let's boot TWRP!!
Type
Code:
fastboot reboot
and quickly hold volume down + power.
If it fails just out the battery and try again.
Twrp shud boot up now.
Now tap on wipe and swipe to factory reset(this will only wipe out your apps and app data not files but you shud still backup your files!!)
Now reboot your phone and see if it boots!
Root
You need to flash the magisk.zip for root.
Flash the magisk.zip and Reboot your phone and see if you see magisk manager installed.
If not go to the play store and search for magisk and install it.
that's it!!
If you found this useful give me a:good: and go to the UsU thread and give @steadfasterX a :good: for making this posable!
reserved
reserved 2
Thanks for writing this guide!
It will definitively help others with a VS986 and is much appreciated. I can't do everything alone
One note:
for the bootloader stack update you could ("should" imho) also refer to the FAQ #20 of the UsU thread as it contains the complete commands, several important warnings, describes how to extract a KDZ - if one want to use other bootstack files (SALT), Frankenstein hints etc.
Just a thought ..
Keep up your helpful work :highfive:

Long story short bought a G5 Cedric running latest official firmware oreo 8.1, didn't like it cuz it's too heavy, unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp then flashed lineage 17 but can't pass safetynet,(clean) flashed resurrection remix after same problem, then i flashed omni rom and suddenly my IMEI was gone and can't install gapps, what to do now? I just want a good custom rom that passes safetynet, don't care if it's pie or Q.
Flash a rom where imei works
Backup efs partition using 64bit twrp
You can then restore efs partition if you loose imei
With regards to safetynet none of the custom roms will pass without you doing some work
You need to flash magisk
Flash Busybox magisk module
Flash props config module and follow all the instructions on how to change device fingerprint eg to a pixel 4 https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magiskhide-props-config-t3789228/
Hide magisk manager with a random package name from magisk settings
Hide app that detects root with magisk hide from its settings
You can also try the universal safetynet patcher magisk module if the above doesn't work but some report it causes bootloops on some devices/roms
Thank you for the quick response, i have a few questions regarding what you said:
1- how will i know which rom to flash where the IMEI works before flashing the actual rom itself?
2- how do i know if my current twrp is 64bit or not? it's the one from the Lineage 17 thread.
3- when im succesfull in executing those steps and i have to back up efs, where can i find it to restore it if i flash another rom again? because last time before flahsing i wiped system,dalvik & Cache & data but not the storage and yet my back-up was gone?

1 - You will have to try roms yourself to find out
2 - All custom roms from oero onwards are 64bit - you wouldn't be able to flash them without a 64bit twrp so you already have one
3 - data/media/twrp/backups or storage/emulated/0/twrp/backups
I recommend changing the storage location to your sdcard so they don't get deleted when you wipe data or transferring to a pc
Formatting data is effectively formatting internal storage as the device is encrypted

If rebuilding the efs doesn't work I do not know
Backup efs first incase it fails to rebuild and imei is 0 again - use a twrp 64 bit to back it up and obviously save to sdcard & pc incase you need to re-flash rom as wiping data will erase your backup on internal storage

If it doesn't work in rom then move back to stock Oreo and once you got the 4g take backup of efs and persist and move to custom ROM. If the 4g is available then no need to restore backup, if not restore the backup and enjoy 4g.

I wouldn't re-lock it for several reasons
1- you need the unlock code to unlock it again & Motorola will say its already been unlocked
2 - Even if you re-lock it it will still display its been unlocked previously
3 - if you ever need to flash stock firmware via fastboot again it may fail with permission denied as the firmware may not be fully signed & you can't flash unsigned firmware with a locked bootloader
4 - if you ota update & it it fails & you hardbrick then again same as point 3
If you really want to Google how to & you need fully signed firmware else it will not lock

I'm going to respond to each point you mentioned:
1- I still have the email from Lenovo containing the unlock code, do i need the same code to relock the bootloader?
2-are you sure it will still say it's been unlocked before?
3-what does fully signed mean? i searched through the link you sent me earlier and i found the same one that i flashed through LMSA, that is XT1676_CEDRIC_RETEU_DS_8.1.0_OPP28.85-19-4-2_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip is the one I flashed through LMSA not fully signed?
4-there's no updates anymore after the version i mentioned in point 3.
side question: does this method you mentioned still applies to relock the bootloader without the aforementioned issues?
PS: it still says ID: bad key on the bootloader unlocked warning, even though i retrieved my IMEI number, shouldn't it display my IMEI number instead of bad key?

You don't need code to lock bootloader - just to unlock it
Yes the bootloader will display its locked but will also give a status code that states its been previously unlocked
Fully signed means each part of the firmware has been signed by Motorola - sometimes the boot.img isn't
You will always get bad key or n/a with an unlocked bootloader - this is normal - you can flash a modded logo.bin to replace this
Those are the steps to re-lock the boot-loader - obviously oreo firmware has more sparsechunk so add the extra parts

Hello. I have a LE2120 currently rooted with magisk i have all my files from when i rooted but i am thinking of selling and want to take it back to stock and lock the bootloader also becuz the updates wont install. Any help would be greatly appreciated.I wasnt sure if msm would give me issues or not so didnt try
Before you start .... Copy and backup all your data on the device.
Remove/Uninstall all Magisk modules and Magisk
Flash the stock from, Factory reset the device through recovery
Reboot to fastboot/bootloader and lock the device with connecting and using the command '' fastboot oem lock ''
All done
Use msm tool. That will wipe and reinstall stock and relock your Bootloader all in one step

Use the indian MSM, it will put you on stock OOS, not COS.

Thanks man im gonna try it thank you i havnt rooted at oneplus since my 7 and it went horribly lol so i had the fomo and rooted this one and instant regret cause i cant update at all
Hmm, you should be able to upgrade, but you can't take incrementals, it must be the full update. Go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-9-pro-rom-ota-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.4254587/
and download the local update file for the Indian device after you MSM. Unlock the bootloader, root it, and apply the local update in Settings.
Just use the MSM tool for India. I had just finished doing it few hours back. All good. My device LE2120
Premise: I have a xiaomi Mi 10T Pro model "M2007J3SG", never flashed firmware, never rooted and only updated from phone settings.
Wanting to revert to a firmware with android 10, original do I need to unlock the bootloader?
If I have to unlock it how should I do it, assuming I don't have to put any custom rom or run root.

my concern is roll back protection, because from what I have read since I want to downgrade two versions of android i.e. from 12 to 10, the roll back index is discordant between the two firmwares

Not important, use the script directly included in the fastboot rom.

in the unfortunate event that something should happen and the procedure fails, is there any precaution to be taken before doing so, like a backup not of the files, but a backup of the firmware or something similar?

If the phone is a Chinese version does not lock the bootloader.
Miflash is used to flash firmware.
unlock bootloader erases your data, Miflash too.
If there is an error during the flash, the flash does not occur.

just for information, searching on the internet I saw that there are or are created cables, called “Deep Flash Cables”, do you happen to know what they are for?
