Hi,
I am struggling through trying to work out how to unlock my sim and then flash WM6 onto my 02 XDA ii which therefore is a himalya - says PH10b in model no.
Anyway Im following one of the guides (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies) and it says I have to establish whether it is a G3 or G4 or else Ill brick it and probably throw myself out of my window.
So I performed a soft reset and got the following information in red letters when I do it.
R 1.10.00
G 1337. 18
1.60.00WWE
I just don't know if it is a G3 or G4 and can't afford to brick this phone - so please could someone help me so I know which intructions to follow?
I will send best reply a stick of rock from Blackpool (famous for rock - its like sugary concerete).

Try to use the SEARCH button, it always helps, read here:

"You can tell if your device is G3 or G4 by entering into bootloader mode.
If the bootloader version is less than 1.99999 than it is a G3 device. If the bootloader version is greater than 2.00000 than it is a G4 device"
When I put it into bootload mode (not connected via usb) it says 'serial' at the top and 'v1.03' at the bottom.
Can I take this to mean it is G3 then?
I should add i have managed to unlock the sim thanks to this wonderful forum.
Hi,
i'm from italy and i'm interested in G4 european model H815.
I read a lot in the forum, but i really have some doubts yet. Hope someone can clarify them.
- First, is touchscreen problem really and definitively fixed? In which fw version it was fixed? What is latest european fw version?
- Is it safe unlock bootloader? We could have warranty problem doing it?
- It would be my first LG device, so maybe this is a newbie question, but what "kdz" and "tot" stands for?
- Aside touchscreen problem (fixed?) and led problem (fixed?), which other problems i could expect with this device?
- Finally, is there already a custom rom that is better (in performance, fixes etc.) than orginal's one?
Thanks for anyone help me to understand.
I'd actually like the answer to these questions as well, being a Samsung fanboy, this is my first LG device.
I never have any problem with touchscreen.
There's official bootloader unlock directly from LG for h815 but it will void your warranty.
kdz and tot refer to factory image
Volume over earphone is pretty low. Can be remedied with viper4android.
I'd just get root with low effort root method and xposed running. There's rumor that unofficial bootloader unlock is possible only with original firmware (which will be lost once u receive ota and can't be restored).
Unofficial bootloader unlock is still a rumor
hi, i have the H815 European model too, also my wife
We never have any problem with the Touchscreen
From what i have read, if you unlock the BL via LG any Hardware defect is full covered by the warranty
but i think they can refuse a soft-bricked phone if they would (but i know LG as really cooperative for such problems)
you mean kdz - this is the LG Format for fimware releases, tot also but not oficially LG i think
i never needed or used tot files.
We have no problems with this phone here. this means not that there is no problem
There are custom rom's (and one or two kernel's) but Stock is faster for now (android M)
the 7 HD Rom is a stock based custom Rom wgich performs really good and delivers
a all in one soloution for the most people i think.
fire3k
Thanks for answers, all clear.
But about touch problem i understand you didin't have it, but i would know if people having it have the problem now really fixed. Or it was only placebo effect for the last updates...
Man I even don't understand how is it possible to make from good device, piece of sh* *t.
But LG Know How
Why they spending time of developer's to remove root possibilities and after that adding LG modified bootloader unlock procedure.
I believe if LG DEVELOPER'S was not spending time for removing root possibilities and was Customizing BootLoader Unlock Process, everything was done until this moment, when users want to root the device, but it's impossible by Official Way.
All respected companies using stock android bootloader unlock procedure, like alkatel and others, or already made his costume BL unlock procedure, like Sony...
Only LG have this problem, like with my Old Optimus 3D, I needed to flash customs BootLoader, because stock one cannot be unlocked, simply to flash other staffs like costume Recovery or Kernel.
I sent a massage to LG and they suggested me to search on XDA, exactly not LG Support, LG FUN CLUB responded to my question
And it's A Class Smartphones manufacturer.
How it's possible to make ordinary smartphone with Quallcom Chipset, most respected company making Smartphones Chips.
They making the best CPU's, GPU's and modem chips in the Earth.
And after that Coming LG and removing fastboot mode...
Why?
Like I already said to LG: "It's very very bad decision to remove FASTBOOT Mode.
And I believe it's my last LG Device."
If I'm not wrong, Bernard Shaw said: "Those who appreciates Security more than Freedom, don't deserve nothing".
There is an online petition for unlocking bootloaders of LG K10 phones.
Please sign it, more people will sign it, more posibilities that LG will fix it!

Yes I also like very much design of this device.
And I have Original LG Quick Cover, with this protection it looks even better.
But bootloader unlock and rooting problems, for me personally, close all his strong sides ?

Where did you read about K10 and reciving android Nougat?
Android Nougat update.

I found this information here.
I know that is not 100% possible, but it's 2016 model, it's not old device, so I think it will receive Nougat
And also I suggest to look at this Google Request.
Custome ROM!
Like any Smart Developr, before working with some device I'm checking if this device will receive android update!
Because if our LG K10 will receive Nougat Update, ALL MY WORK WITH MARSHMALLOW WILL BE LOST ?
My opinion.
I was thinking why LG K 10 with MEDIATEK Chipset can be rooted and with QUALCOM no opportunity to get root.
And it's showing LG Developer's incompetence.
From my own experience I know that is much more difficult work with MEDIATEK Devices, that's why I don't released Cris Kelo Rom for Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo.
I taken latest Samsung Firmware for this device, rooted it, fixed it to work with Xposed, but after that I got Rom Full of Small bugs.
And when I was fixing one bug I was getting one or sometimes two new bugs, finally I was mad with this Piece of Mediatek technology and gifted it, after that I purchased this Piece of LG K10 Device…
What is the point?
For me it's normal that I can't make something, I'm not Professional Program Engineer, I'm Amateur Developer and LG Corporation Must Have Competent Program Engineer's, they must know how to make the same android on both Chipsets…

We absolutely need you here sir! I am waiting for Nougat from a long time! I worked a lot on this device. So I naturally made the decision of waiting for Nougat because this device is completely locked down and moreover I don't even the firmware file for my phone (LG K420DS, Same processor as LG K420N but 2 GB RAM).

Thanks
I also waiting for Nougat Update, then will try my best to make something.
But until update is released we must insist that LG must make Android Update With UNBLOCKABLE BOOTLOADER AND ACCESS TO FASTBOOT MODE.
It will be much better official way to root it and unlock bootloader than some our invents ?
After that it will be very easy to customize Kernel, Recovery and System ?
LG Must be joking ?
Was searching other time for root or unlock bootloader and decided to take a look how many LG devices can be officially unlocked bootloader.
There only 4 devices, Man it's ridiculous ?
OFFICIAL LG BOOTLOADER UNLOCK
It's some kind of joke, can I laf now?

LAF is the only way.
But if you are rooted then you are on the safe side.
Then we can root easily

There are 6.1 billion people in this world, and none of them even managed to unlock the bootloader, I'm already losing my hopes and starting to feel sorry for buying this mobile model ...

All the 6.1 billion don't own this phone lol. Even when LG K10 (2016) was released, I could release the bootloader unlock with the help of my friend after a year .i.e this February/March 2017.
After that I built TWRP for K10 for Qualcomm models and made it official. They are achievements. Now, we are working on LineageOS/Resurrection Remix Nougat versions for K10 (2016) Qualcomm even though LG has not released any Nougat related stuff for K10 (2016) Indian and European Models. There is lot of time being spent for building, testing ROMS and other stuff even if LG officially doesn't support bootloader unlock.
If you have the will, then search forums on XDA for similar SoC your phone has and then find out how they have unlocked their bootloader if their company doesn't support it officially. It is one of the best ways to learn how Android works too.

How to unbrick hard brick lgk10
I have a hard bricked lg k10 no dowload, no charging, nothing, I was trying to downgrade so i could root it (because of the damned 2017 february update) lg up asked if i wanna change the partition ( I think it was the laf partition) and ended up hard bricked. So I read and read here on the forums and saw that others had unbrick hard bricks with qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 mode but there was no info on how to test point/ short point the lgk10 cpu to get this mode so I started downloading images of other lgs motherboard phones that showed the test points and with a little bit of logic and patience I found it. So now I achived qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 mode and I know I have to flash the cpu with qfil or similar flash loader (there are a few of them) in order to get download mode back but im lost on how to do this with the lgk10. I have read all of the other post where they do this with a number of different lgs and but im lost. Some of the flash loaders ask for firehose file I dont know what is this but I tried with firehose msm8916 (that is the model of the cpu) but no luck.
I know how to flash the kdz with lg up I just need dowload mode again.
Im guessing I have to extract some files from the kdz with lg firware extractor, compile them and flash them with the cpu flasher but ,how do I do this? Im lost
Can you guide me on the process? Wich tools do I need?
Hi. Yesteday I finally decided to install the update that was popping up on my screen for the last month nearly. So yeah after the update the phone would not detect my SIM, so I tried restarting a couple of times, putting airplane mode on and off a few times, changing sim cards to make sure it wasnt the sim, but yeah nothing. Its would be very weird for it to be the SIM socket when I hadnt even touched it and its only having this problem after updating.
So I went on to LG-Firmwares and flashed with LG-UP a couple of firmwares (took me 5 hours, because i bricked the phone in the first try) and well after succesfully flashing other offitial ROMS SIM Cards are still not detected....

The custom roms and kernels etc, from lgk10 work for lg k10 PRO M400DF??
Hi.
In a few days I'll be happy to use an LG G7, model LMG710EM.
I'm looking for Root and Recovery and I read something about problem with locked bootloader. So G7 need a patched boot image to get root.
But, 6 day's ago, LG, release the official unlocking for the bootloader.
Italian article here: https:**gizblog.it/2018/06/lg-g7-thinq-disponibile-sblocco-bootloader-ufficiale
And, ther, the official LG page.
https:**developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
I hope to post this news in the right section. I'm just a "customer" for XDA. Not able to develope anithing (no time in my life to study something about... ).
May be a new possibility to have, root, twrp and roms?
Thanks all for you great development
Sorry for my poor english.
Oficiql unlock has been here for over a year with the em Model
