Thanks autoprime. :)

I pretty much tried everything you have written and nothing would get me out of the "2" screen. I ran Flashtool 4 times and it kept locking up at the "2" screen.

I'm not a fan of Flashtool so any chance of LGNPST? Do you have the dll for that?
[G3 General] autoprime:
very strange :confused:

how did you get there in the first place? something go wrong or just wanted to flash a tot?

I use Win7 w/ LGFlash 1.8.1 w/ swapped megalok dll and the generic g3 .dll (instead of the specific model dll's).. LGUP_8974 dll in my g3 folder.. + tot

the past few times flashed.. had to unplug the usb and replug a few times before lg flash would do something and then all the sudden.. 3!
[G3 General] engine95:
I really think my phone was haunted from the git go. It had an LG boot ani but my new one has Sprint. The girl setting it up had a lot of issues also. Then too use it, it would reboot on its own, lockup, freeze and just not run right. I tried the factory reset and lost reception.

Needless to say I ended up with Flashtool and eventually a replacement that has been running much better that the first one did.

[G3 General] redhairedscot:
I've actually been curious about this. Shouldn't the T-Mobile unlocked bootloader version have been the easiest to root? If the bootloader isn't checking signatures, shouldn't we be able to just pull off the image, modify it [1], and flash the new image?

[1] I know UNIX, not Android, so I'm assuming "Add SuperSU" is the Android equivalent to something like putting a user in the sudoers file.
[G3 General] Maine_Coon:
While it is really nice that developers had decided to make all things for all people at once, it is very annoying to know that they have the root for my device already, but don't release because of this and that and yet that.

Yes, I am *****ing, and the reason I am *****ing is I cannot use my new phone the same way I use all my phones because of that.
[G3 General] sn0warmy:
I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I agree. If root is working and ready for the D851, then release it. Why make T-Mobile users wait for proper root on the other carriers before releasing it? It's just delaying development for our device and is making the fact that we have an unlocked bootloader right out of the gate a moot point.
[G3 General] JasonJoel:
If you think you NEED root to use your phone the way you want, then don't buy a phone until root is released... Very simple. No whining or complaining required.

Irritates me when people complain about this crap that they knew about (or worse just assumed about) before they even bought the phone.

Go make your own root method if you don't like what developers are doing for you FOR FREE.
[G3 General] thecubed:
We just don't have all the tools ready - we need a 3 part combo before we release root for any LG phone:

1) root

2) recovery

3) security-disabled boot.img

(and a bonus) 4) a way to get out of TWRP if your phone magically takes a FOTA

Without all these things, it's asking for bricks. Right now the only people rooted with TMO are developers who understand these risks.

Right now we have #1 and #2, we're lacking #3/4. It's not hard for us to take care of that, but we all have day jobs and during the week things tend to take a back seat to 'real work'. For now, I promise we'll have something for you soon.

We just think it'd be irresponsible of us not to test things and release them only when they're done, since then we'd make LG hate us (even more, probably) with the amount of 'bricked' devices it'd generate, and the unhappy users too. You've probably never seen the amount of comments on other root threads or youtube videos of "you bricked my phone! I'm gonna sue you!" from ignorant users because we didn't idiot proof our software. We definitely don't think we should make stuff ridiculously stupidproof, but there's a bit of work that has to be done so we cover the obvious pitfalls like FOTA locking you in TWRP forever and ever.

[G3 General] sn0warmy:
Understood. Thanks for the clarification. I definitely understand where you guys are coming from. Thanks for all your efforts. We definitely appreciate it. We are being whiney, and you don't need that. I think I've personally gotten spoiled coming from the Nexus line of phones. But you are definitely right. It's better to idiot proof this with the amount of ignorant users who will take advantage of your efforts then turn around and blame you when they can't follow simple instructions to do things the right way.

Good luck and thanks again!

Not to be mean towards anyone, but people dont read when we release things w/o fool proofing them first and then they whine and ***** even more because they didnt read and bricked their device.

And no one here, myself and other devs included, that are entitled to anything. We all are lucky these guys spend THEIR TIME and EFFORT to provide us all with things we want for our devices. And if anyone disagrees with that statement, learn to do the *hit yourself or buy a different device. ;)

Just got a T-Mo G3 today and am loving it. Missing root but am glad the everyone is taking their time. I've had a lot of headaches with other phones when people don't fullproof methods or explain them properly once they are released.
[G3 General] Epix4G:
There are very few devs that do this kind of development .... Yes there are many that put out roms, kernels, themes, etc ... But not many that look line by line to find a exploit to root and install custom recovery .. We take for granted all they do .. What they do takes a lot of patience and luck

Looking at the matrix is the unlocked column referring to the bootloader?

If that is the case the TMO is the only one with an unlocked bootloader? i didnt know sprint ever locked bootloaders. I thought this was reserved for the true control freaks ATT and Verizon.

Can anyone chime in?
[G3 General] RHall1340:
As far as I know every Sprint phone has a locked boot loader (Except maybe Google Nexus devices). But they do allow manufacturers to provide unlocks.. such as HTC..

I'm not sure about every Sprint phone, but my last few have all had an unlocked boot loader, the last being a G2.

Ok then and thanks for the post, but I thought G2 was unlocked with ZV7.

Mauly...out...
[G3 General] thecubed:
No root for sprint yet - we're working on one still though. We've decided to get the TMO root out of the way first, even though we kind of expect to cause some unrest with "but the TMO version is rooted, why not mine!" (hence our previous stance on waiting for universal root).

Think of this like a social experiment to see if XDA users can behave :)

I'm still at work here, but once I get home we'll get a security-disabled boot.img put together and a solid TWRP image compiled for y'all, then I'll update this thread with a release notification and a link to the new thread.

Might be slightly off topic.

But as a patiently wait for root i attempted

ADB backup -all -noshared -nosystem -f c:\temp\mybackup.ab

from my note 3

and did a

ADB restore c:\temp\mybackup.ab

All appears to work, however when it is done restoring. there are just no more apps then then i started on my LG G3

Ideas?
[G3 General] ratchetjaw:
So which one to get. T mobile or att version? Which do you think will see more development?
[G3 General] Rennat:
I'll be getting the VWZ G3 (I get $100 off the Verizon one thru work). Sense it's already rooted and hasn't been officially released yet I'm hoping that's a good sign for xda development :)
[G3 General] CWick4141:
IMO tmo usually gets more development than att..but with cm merged devices(assuming the g3 gets merged) asop development will likely be the same across all variants
[G3 General] ratchetjaw:
Oh okay. Good to know. I have a Korean one but want a US version seems to get more love. So was trying to decide att or t mobile with it having an unlocked boot loader. I may just wait a bit and see but didn't want to wait to long and get one with some pre loaded can't root update already on it
[G3 General] Colchiro:
I'm impressed by the thought and organization thats gone into this project... very professional. The feedback is excellent too, not used to that. :good:
[G3 General] thecubed:
Luckily the phone's internals are pretty much the same across the board with regards to Android (just not the bootloaders).

We've even getting some work done on getting a rudimentary CM tree - of course, that doesn't really do much for us right now, but hold tight. I'm putting together the root pack for TMO still. Dealing with a few work things, then gonna try to work with [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] to get a boot.img with the rootchecker disabled built TMO. After we test that a bit, we'll make the post live!

What are the chances at all of an AT&T bootloader unlock? I seen you guys are working on it but I know how difficult it can be trying to do this all across devices. I'm not asking eta or anything. Just wanna know if it seems like you guys will be successful
[G3 General] gpgorbosjr:
I'm sure they will be able to if all you want is a yes or no lol. There seem to be a lot of smart people working on this and they also seem to be extremely organized. I'm sure with time they will achieve all their goals.

I've owned 20+ Android devices since they started coming out and they almost always seem to eventually be figured out. Even my Atrix HD, so I have faith lol.
[G3 General] mrmacedonian:

I'm deciding AT&T vs. TMobile and just your impressions on bootloader unlock for AT&T would be great :)

[G3 General] ratchetjaw:
That's what I am trying to decide on also
[G3 General] networkdood:
T mobile G3 has it's boot loader unlocked, or it is very unlockable...
[G3 General] drock212:
Tmobile doesn't have all the strict rules like AT&T does with the bootloaders. Example galaxy s5 locked down like fort knox (no pun intended) with terror alert on red on AT&T. Yet comes unlocked from tmobile. Just food for thought, research devices on both carriers and also look at the XDA threads for these devices. See who has more development and why and that should help with the decision
[G3 General] ratchetjaw:
Yeah I am thinking just grab a t Mobile one and use on att

My cut of the donation proceeds for the current root will go to fund getting a Sprint LG G3, I will work on getting my sprint exploit released sometime mid August. *Rephrase, I will be able to start WORKING ON the Sprint exploit, that I intend to release, in mid August.
[G3 General] thecubed:
Not sure what you're looking for - we're definitely looking into it, and we've got a bunch of bright minds looking at methods to unlock. The problem here is we can't be definite on an answer. The phone has a LG built in unlock mechanism, but exploiting that is a matter of chance. We have to rely on programming errors on LG's part to exploit them and unlock the phone. If LG put sufficient effort into locking the phone, in theory it could be impossible.

Granted, our impressions of LG's security team don't make us think that it'll be impossible - we just don't know the time frame we'd be looking at.

If you want to get an unlocked phone here and now, and miss out on LTE bands (or possibly LTE entirely, I don't know if LTE on TMO G3 works on ATT), I'd say to get a TMO G3, or just hold off on purchasing anything at all until we release an unlock. If an unlock never comes (doubtful), then you won't have wasted any money and won't feel let down - as an added bonus, new phones will probably be out as well that are unlockable too!

Don't let an unlock determine your purchase. Unfortunately, phones today are like cars - unless you have a lot of time/money they largely stay stock, so you don't go purchasing a vehicle thinking "if only I could replace the interior, the wheels, and the engine, I'd like this car" and then get upset when you find out that your favorite vendor doesn't sell those parts that you thought they would, or the price isn't what you imagined.

Hopefully that isn't too deep of an answer to your question... I play with phones as a hobby outside my day job where I play with servers. There's been a few phone purchases that I regret (G Pro, I'm looking at you... such a disappointing phone) and the risk of regretting a purchase is something I just have to deal with, especially considering that funds for purchasing these phones often come mostly out of my pocket initially, and not delivering unlocks/mods/etc results in the phone not being subsidized by donations.

With that said, I'm working on the OSX TMO root pack right now. After I get that working, I'll boot my Win8 VM (yep, I switched to OSX and am loving it - http://imgur.com/a/L2JfT ) and get a batch script whipped up for y'all.

The root works on a few other phones too, so it's not just TMO specific - see the column in the spreadsheet on the first post labelled Purp13Dr4k3 . If you're on that list, rejoice! You can root with the new root pack - but no unlock just yet unless you're a TMO phone.
[G3 General] Maine_Coon:
Kiss it, baby :D

Been w/freaking Sprint for 15 years, left it for T-Mo and never looked back. T-Mo is cool.

Keep checking the thread as a kid waiting for Santa.
[G3 General] roughneckboren:
That's a pretty in depth answer and thank you man. I just know AT&T is pretty strict on the BL issue. I already have the phone. It's not that it's a deal breaker....I just didn't know if the unlock stood tougher than others. I came from the note 3 and there's almost no hope for that thing to be unlocked. You guys are working hard and it is greatly appreciated. Just didn't know if the chances on this unlock looked good or bad. I'm not wanting you guys to rush nor do I expect you to. Take your time and keep the life outside of xda first and foremost. Thanks so much guys.

so after bricking my phone for the second time in 16days(using the Chinese cwm) i think that I found a usable thing that you do to get root working. I noticed that the .kdz files are easy flashable and I didn't notice that it was verifying the signature soo my question is how hard would it be to put the binaries and other rooting stuff in the .kdz file and flashing that.

[G3 General] Skizzy034:
I was thinking about returning the ATT G3 and buying the TMO version but then I thought back to my G2. When I had that, I rooted and installed twrp and flashed the G3 port rom. It essentially made it exactly what the G3 3 is now. I'm not interested in aosp roms so the only thing I would need a recovery for is nandroid backups. I can wait for that. It's better than taking a chance with service issues. Also, ATT had a great warranty program. It's so easy to get a replacement of you need one. I know with T-Mobile, you have to send your device out to them before they send you a replacement.

I noticed in the comment section for the T-Mobile D851 "Releasing TWRP/security disabled boot.img/FOTA disable pack soon!" and I was wondering what the latter two means.
[G3 General] androidoholic:
The security disabled boot image is necessary to make all the things that root do "stick", and is needed for custom ROMs (someone feel free to explain, if you can do a better job please) FOTA is Firmware update Over The Air. So disabling it will stop automatic updates so we don't lose roots.
[G3 General] Diumlol:
So if an update to say, 4.4.4 or even L came out, would an alternative solution arise?
[G3 General] androidoholic:
Yep when 4.4.4 or 5.0 or whatever comes the great devs we have here will cook up a rom that is based on the OTA and will be prerooted and everything.
[G3 General] Diumlol:
Cool, thanks~
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] AnimalMotherASF:
If I go into those options and reset can it have a negitive effect on the phond?

I had to keep resseting clearing ALL dates because Google backup is extremely annoying in that insists on syncing my old settings.

Is this the same as factory reset they perform at t mobile or do they flash the Rom? I've noticed my m8 is a little slow lately. Maybe because I disabled Twitter Facebook bkinkfeed. I may disable Google plus as well.
