Has anyone tried towelroot?
[T-Mobile LG G3] stuckintheskull:
T-mobile variant comes with an unlocked bootloader out of the box! TWRP is coming soon I've read. Not too much longer. Patience
[T-Mobile LG G3] D-FUSE:
You know the variant can probably use that bootlaoder we use another variant on the g flex.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Maine_Coon:
someone on AF reported that towelroot doesn't work on T-Mo version (D851).
[T-Mobile LG G3] robosiris:
Was that a serious question, ijs
[T-Mobile LG G3] Maine_Coon:
That's great news if it is true.

As of now, we still don't have a reliable way to root it AFAIK.

trying to keep up with all these posts/threads is getting impossible..

does the TMO version have 3 gigs ram/32 gigs storage?

thanks
[T-Mobile LG G3] networkdood:
Yes
[T-Mobile LG G3] wase4711:
thanks man; it might be time for the mods to start separate threads for each carrier on this phone now, since there is some definite differences between carriers versions..
[T-Mobile LG G3] networkdood:
I agree that we need our own thread as we have an unlocked bootloader...woohoooo
[T-Mobile LG G3] wase4711:
just ANOTHER reason/benefit of dumping all those other carriers and moving to the best, TMOBILE!
[T-Mobile LG G3] Maine_Coon:
this thread is about the bounty for the unlocked bootloader.

At the moment I am way more concerned about just rooting D851.
[T-Mobile LG G3] networkdood:
Good thing we can unlock the g3..
[T-Mobile LG G3] Slash8915:
So glad I left Verizon when I did... Their "added security" crap got really annoying.
[T-Mobile LG G3] D-FUSE:
Looks like I'm getting this on my jump next month. I've already broke down the tot and deodex btw wase!!
[T-Mobile LG G3] networkdood:
TOT?
[T-Mobile LG G3] D-FUSE:
The file you use to flash back to the stock firmware with flash tool
[T-Mobile LG G3] stuckintheskull:
That is where I read the D851 had an unlocked bootloader. Just wanted to link where I read it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Maine_Coon:
Yeah, I've seen it, thank you.

However, it won't do any good if we can't root it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] D-FUSE:
Give it time y'all will get root
[T-Mobile LG G3] Maine_Coon:
I hope so.

He didn't release it yet though.

Probably just putting it together in a nice package for us (creating a script, etc). It's only been a couple of days, enjoy the phone as it is for now, root and twrp will come soon. :)

oh ok, is that an LG term? Never heard it in all of the years I have used Android , and Windows...
[T-Mobile LG G3] Maine_Coon:
Don't have it yet :D Tuesday.
[T-Mobile LG G3] JohnnyDanger:
Im getting the G3. Ive been out of the country for a few weeks and didnt get to preorder though. I see that T-Mobile is shipping the preorders already. If I order it now, think it will ship tomorrow? Just wondering if I should order or just go to a store on Wednesday and buy it and save on shipping cost. If I can get it by Tuesday with overnight delivery, I will. Unfortunately my Moto X got damaged while I was out of the country and now am phone less.

It's like sammy's tar files and htc rru or ruu whatever it is

Ahhh, yes, now you are speaking my language....lol
[T-Mobile LG G3] budco2000:
Not sure if this is true or not, But I went to my T-Mobile store to buy a case for the phone and the manager told me that when you buy the phone online you get the 32/3 version but the phone in the store are the 16/2 versions. Not sure if this is the case or not. It was the general manager that said this but who knows
[T-Mobile LG G3] Slash8915:
I mentioned the exact same thing in another thread. My friend is a store manager at T-mobile, and his LG rep told him that too.

Maybe someone with a Twitter should tweet one of the main guys to find out?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Enddo:
A couple people have ordered since they saw pre-orders going out early. Those seem to have been told it is on backorder right now. I can't say whether or not it's still on backorder though

I ordered an AT&T one on Amazon and it will be here tomorrow. It should be able to connect to the T-Mobile network. At least, I hope it can lol
[T-Mobile LG G3] budco2000:
Verizon just slaps their logo all over the place.
[T-Mobile LG G3] budco2000:
It will work great with voice, but Tmobile uses different Data bands then AT&T. Technically the phone is capable as it has all bands built into the processor, but will depend on if T-Mobile locked them bands down that they don't use.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dems86:
Hmm, I was going in to a store Wednesday, switching from Verizon, and was going to pick one up. I really hope that isn't the case, that would be absolutely idiotic, and would also guarantee I won't be getting one in store on Wednesday.

Edit: I just said screw it and ordered trom T-Mobile website. Didn't want to find out Wednesday this was true, hopefully they ship tomorrow, lol!!!
[T-Mobile LG G3] networkdood:
ALL T Mobile LG G3s come with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage....
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
T-Mobile will only be selling the 3/32 model. Its maddening what the reps will tell customers.
[T-Mobile LG G3] npaladin2000:
Actually, no, as per the FCC, the AT&T version supports All of T-Mobile's currently used 2G, 3G, and 4G bands. It doesn't support Band 12 but neither does T-Mobile's version.

Unlike in most cases, this time the two devices are effectively network interchangeable. AT&T's only supports one extra band, the 850 MHz LTE band. Which T-Mobile doesn't use, and AT&T has frankly not deployed all that widely. Both support LTE on AWS, PCS, and 700 Mhz B/C. Both support HSPA on 850, 1900, and AWS. And both support quad-band GSM/EDGE. As per the FCC anyway. Which is probably more accurate than each company's marketing materials. After all, neither one really wants you to go use their device on someone else's network so they're not going to go out of their way to let you know that it'll work.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Dog_Daze:
They will also only be selling the unlocked bootloader model... :beer:

thanks for the information

Wow, that was fast...

Now quit messing around with the G3, and get CM11 working with KitKat on our damm Flex's! ;):cyclops:
[T-Mobile LG G3] JohnnyDanger:
Well thats too bad. I was hoping to have a new phone by Tuesday.
[T-Mobile LG G3] asonenine:
The FCC is certainly a more reliable source than I am lol, but I can confirm that the AT&T model works absolutely fine with T-Mobile once you unlock it. No issues whatsoever with anything I've tried thus far.

AT&T Variant on T-Mobile

I got the AT&T's variant at one of their stores today. I got it networked unlocked (from an eBay provider) and it's working fine on T-Mobile's 4G-LTE.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Raiden8816:
Just wanted to confirm if I order the G3 online that I will get the 32/3 spec variant versus what will be carried in stores which is the 16/2.

I will be trading in my iPhone 5 to clear out my EIP and get the G3.

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G3] KiNG OMaR:
There is only the 3/32 variant on T-Mobile. Anyone telling you otherwise is misinformed, even their reps. With that said, ordering online will get you the 3/32 variant.
[T-Mobile LG G3] PunishedSnake:
I have a m8 but if the g3 is physically the same size this would be a winner for me 3gb version calling. Zerolemon battery
[T-Mobile LG G3] arcanexvi:
See, but I like my unlocked bootloader... And WiFi calling (at least until I throw CM on it). I look forward to a VoLTE patch soon as well.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
I thought the bootloader was locked, and the D851 couldn't even be rooted at this time?
[T-Mobile LG G3] jgarozzo:
I received my pre-order email early July. I pre-ordered and received my G3 last Friday. No complaints about TMO from me. T-mobile pooped in his pants when I showed him my G3
[T-Mobile LG G3] asonenine:
I certainly like those things as well.

I just enjoy sniping my mother's upgrade and paying $30 for it at Best Buy a little more :good:

No VoLTE is a bit of a bummer though.
[T-Mobile LG G3] bbh4r4l:
VoLTE works out the box form in the Chicago land area
[T-Mobile LG G3] prestonr83:
How can you tell if your using VoLTE or not?
[T-Mobile LG G3] RMXO:
I understand but whats the point of having a regular and developer version if both are unlockable besides charging more for the developer when the regular does the same thing. But, we will all know once it's announced.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Omar1c:
Might "Jump" to it
[T-Mobile LG G3] jmwils3:
Having been stuck on a z1s aince it launched, I really hope this isnt as locked down, software-wise. Also, ive read conflicting reports, but does anyone know for sure whether the g3 has an ir blaster for universal remote functionality?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Kawaisa:
There's one on the top
[T-Mobile LG G3] jmwils3:
Awesome, I wonder why so many sites missed that. Its been one of the features ive really missed from my old HTC One M7, that and not having a crappy screen protector (ASF) glued to the screen
[T-Mobile LG G3] galt:
Same boat, was getting worried about it. Thankfully Android Central actually confirms its existence (both IR blaster and remote control software), So, at least it is there on the Korean version. I guess there is the chance it's being left off the specs because its not going to make it to the US versions, but that seems unlikely.

[T-Mobile LG G3] Lancez:
that's what i was worried about, wish the G3 won't have locked down boot loader or else it'll be a deal breaker for many of us.

[T-Mobile LG G3] BedfordTxEvoJoe:
Thanks everyone! Once I have it, I'll be giving my impressions. They said it may not be final hardware, but it should be very close. I just moved from a G2 to the M8 a few weeks ago because I didn't like how KitKat was working on the G2. So really looking forward to the G3.

I can't believe they picked a winner that quick! It doesn't even end until the 29th and people are still signing up. Plus what are the odds the winner just happens to be a forum member of xda. I just can't believe it, but the email looks pretty official.

[T-Mobile LG G3] arcanexvi:
Hasn't for me. I've had mine for over a week and it's missing the toggles for it in the dialer settings. So... I think you're mistaken (I also live in Chicago and my Note 3 gets VoLTE just fine here. G3 does not (Yet)).

This is what you'd be looking for in the dialer settings:
[T-Mobile LG G3] pablo1215:
I can 100% promise without any doubt the supply in the T-Mobile stores is 3gb ram 32gb hard drive version. We got the white ones in already and the black should arrive tomorrow. Just need to find a wireless charging back cover. Shouldn't be too difficult and it could be worse, heard the at&t G3 is powermat wireless charging only.

[T-Mobile LG G3] aimfire72:
No, total BS... It doesn't even make any sense, lol.

I like T-Mobile, but some of their managers are idiots. A few days after the pre-orders and release date were officially announced, the manager at my store had no clue. I mentioned it to him and he was like "oh, that's what they say, but there's nothing official yet". Derrrr... [emoji57]
[T-Mobile LG G3] Raiden8816:
Anyone else get a back order notification?

Kind of tempted to get it in the store assuming they get 32/3
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevew84:
So yea. Another day with no emails from T-Mobile and no device. Ordered Friday.

---------- Post added at 08:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

I haven't even got a receipt. And technically the reps say its considered back order because of the preorder.
[T-Mobile LG G3] serialtoon:
When is this supposed to release in store? Readily available?
[T-Mobile LG G3] bustinstugots24:
Awe

Once I saw users were receiving the order early I jumped at ordering the device over the phone hoping to have it by the weekend. They even gave me free overnight shipping. I received a text on Thursday night my order was being prepared. Thought for sure I'd have it by Friday the 11th but when I woke I received a second message stating it was back ordered. Saturday morning the 12th received a 3rd message it was shipped and the tracking info States I'll have it by no later than 3pm today. Can't wait.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ilogik:
I ordered mine on Friday at 2pmEST, got a text and an email with a tracking number by 6pmEST. It's on truck for delivery today. I ditched work and am waiting for it :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevew84:
Same for me, ordered on Friday and got the EIP verification, bank deduction, went from "processing" to "order placed" but that's all. No confirmation email or anything like that.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
Mine still says order processing, and I've had the phone for 3 days. I never got an email or text until after I received the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G3] bustinstugots24:
I've been reading people not getting notifications at all about it being shipped until it actually arrived at their door step. Wouldn't be surprised if you get it today. I was going to cancel since I believe it will actually be in store available on the 15th but since I'm getting it the day before I said screw it. I did play with the AT&T version in the store and absolutely fell in love with it. Much larger than my HTC sensation but felt great in the hand. Only thing that concerned me was at time volume level seemed a bit low with my headphones plugged in but hopefully once I get power amp on there it'll improve. I'll keep everyone posted
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevew84:
We shall see what happens, I'll report back.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
The way I found out was by logging into my UPS account, and I saw that it was shipped.
[T-Mobile LG G3] RMXO:
I ordered on Thurs after 7pm and got an email on Fri that my phone shipped with tracking and will arrive sometime today. Wished I could skip work and stay home though.
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevew84:
I have a My Choice account too but moved recently, new address can't be recognized yet....so stupid haha
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
Ah, what a pain! You can do a chat with them online, though.
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevew84:
In will today, they're closed on weekends. I get so damn impatient haha
[T-Mobile LG G3] sweets55:
T-Mobile store near me said Wednesday and the store rep said he would text me to make sure they have them. I called a online rep and she said the stores have them now. Think she didn't realize they can't sell them for a few days though.

How does the original Jump work? Can you do it online? Then mail your old phone or drop it off at a store?
[T-Mobile LG G3] KiNG OMaR:
Make a call and see. If your data falls back to HSPA you're not on VoLTE. If your data stays on LTE while in a call, you're on VoLTE :good:
[T-Mobile LG G3] stuckintheskull:
Yeah that's what I did. Ordered online and they send packaging with the new device to ship the old device back.
[T-Mobile LG G3] sweets55:
How long do get to send the phone back? Also how much does it cost?
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevew84:
Bull****, all of a sudden I get an e-mail from Tmobile stating that my order has been cancelled.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Did you get charged for the tax on the phone?
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevew84:
They charged me tax, shipping and all that stuff. Not sure what happened but there was no reason given for the cancellation, but I see that online there is no more order, my next step is to talk to these assholes through chat and I'll just go buy it in the store.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
That blows
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevew84:
Just makes no sense, every time I've ordered something from T-Mobile, there has been some kind of headache.
[T-Mobile LG G3] RMXO:
I feel for you because I have yet to experience TMO getting things done correctly the first time when contacting them or ordering anything online.
[T-Mobile LG G3] sn0warmy:
Super annoying! If I were you my main concern would be ensuring they refunded the tax/shipping to my card. I wouldn't bother working with them to correct the order. At this point I'd just wait for the store to have the phones tomorrow or Wednesday. If you get the right person on the line you might even get a credit to your account for your troubles.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevew84:
Talked to a rep, I guess they changed things in the way they take payments, my name on my debit card differs from that of the account holder (wife), so the order was cancelled.....ok well about a year ago, I did this same thing and wasn't even given the chance to submit the order due to the discrepancy, but whatever.

Also, not sure of the validity of this, but according to the rep, there is an "upgraded version" of the G3 coming out in about a month, along with the gold variant. I know there is a Korean only device but I don't remember there being any word of that coming here.
[T-Mobile LG G3] stuckintheskull:
I think you have a week to send it back. With taxes and shipping around $40-$50 but I got overnight shipping to mine was more expensive.
[T-Mobile LG G3] eMax999:
Wifi Calling

Also if you haven't had WiFi calling (and tried to add it when you've "upgraded" device), it's probably not going to work out of box.

I had to chat with online representative and have them re-provision new SIM that came with the phone to re-enable WiFi calling, as I was getting REG90 issue (and E-911 address was set)

Good luck to whoever pre-ordered the phone :D T-Mobile's ordering system is... weird :) (I already have mine)
[T-Mobile LG G3] dems86:
I'm making the switch from Verizon to T-Mobile (just ordered G3 yesterday from T-Mobile site, crossing my finfers it gets shipped today). So WiFI calling is something that needs to be activated? When I call to have my number ported over from Verizon should I mention that to them?
[T-Mobile LG G3] eMax999:
WiFi calling needs to be provisioned on account and their system sometimes glitches out. WiFi calling is not related to number port (plus, for example you can get your phone, test everything out and then port number later). This is just a feature that's supported by particular phone models.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dems86:
No, I get it doesn't have anything to do with number porting, but you mentioned having problems with sim provisioning so I was just wondering if it's something I should do at the same time.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
You need to register a 911 address when you use WiFi calling, those of us who have T-Mobile and get new sim cards, need to have them re-provision the SIM and then all is well. I have no issues with WiFi calling being glitchy, it works always. I did get a secure SIM with the G3, and got the REG90 WiFi calling error, a two minute chat with CS online had my WiFi calling working again, just had to restart the phone after I got the welcome to T-Mobile text message.
[T-Mobile LG G3] arcanexvi:
It took about a day but my WiFi calling fixed itself after about 12 hours. However I had a device with WiFi calling previously.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Nick12484:
I'm planning on going to the store Wednesday to pick one up using my Jump. Does anyone know how in depth they look at the phone you trade in? Should I bother restoring fully to stock or just install a stock T-Mobile Rom on my G2 and call it a day?
[T-Mobile LG G3] bustinstugots24:
Well this makes no sense but they are now delivering it tomorrow. According to them I missed the delivery which I did but I specifically asked the T-Mobile rep if I would need to be home to sign for the package and he informed with the answer no and they'd just leave it on my door step. I'm so glad I put over night shipping on it I should have just gotten it in stores this is such a hassle. I didn't realize I'd have to take off of work to receive a package it's ridiculous
[T-Mobile LG G3] Dog_Daze:
I switched from Verizon with the G3 too. When you select a plan there's an option under services to include WiFi calling for $0.00 a month. (Default it is NOT selected) I would call and ask if it can be added at this point. Otherwise they can probably add it at a Tmo store after you get the phone.

Sent from my LG-D851
[T-Mobile LG G3] networkdood:
Got my phone this morning.

WiFi calling was automatically done for me and it even let me know with a notification.

Also, I have a FINTIE flip case - 1 penny plus 4.99 shipping on Amazon - for the money I paid, it is a fantastic case.

Now, onto rooting...
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
Where are you finding root for the T-Mobile version?
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Ill have to ask my wife if they left it at the door or had her sign. Either way I'm happy it got delivered before she went to work because she plugged it in for me. I have a fully charged g3 waiting for me at home!
[T-Mobile LG G3] witeboy07:

I'm surprised they default that to not selected, seems like kind of a no-brainer that you'd want it.

This is why I have things delivered to my office rather than my condo (where no one is home anyway).
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
Yeah, I live in a nice development, but I am not a fan of having small packages with 600 dollar electronics left sitting on my doorstep for 3 or 4 hours. As soon as I got the text I ran out of work and picked it up off the doorstep and brought it back to work with me. I have UPS My Choice, and usually have it shipped to a UPS store close by so I can grab it at my convenience.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Dog_Daze:
I saw it and selected it but who knows, phone may still come with it enabled. What really sucks is that it still costs $0.20 per minute to call internationally, even with WiFi.
