Hi

Just so you know , there is a possibility that rooting your phone might not help your case.

According to these threads.

Stock Mirrorlink on lollipop devices has compatibility issues.

Maybe you can try this application first before rooting.

Again I am not very sure that rooting has "helped" a person to connect to a radio when the radio software doesn't support the device.

In case you decide to root this thread might be of use..

Hi guys,

Does anyone knows or this is real?

http://www.unlock-bootloader.info/2015/04/lg-g-flex2-6916.html

And if so does this mean that a custom recovery is almost upon us?

I hope so

You have to do a quiz to "download" the file so I'm going to say it's fake.
[LG G Flex 2] BillyxAllen:
I can't wait for a custom rom :)
[LG G Flex 2] yellowman82:
I remembered waiting for custom ROMs on the first G flex :( worst experience ever. Though the flex 2 in red is so beautiful I couldn't go another year with locked bootloader and no development all over again and I hate to say it but a lot of people including devs are waiting to see if the bootloader would be unlock before jumping on to this device.

Also from the looks of the G4 I think most that was waiting for movements on the flex 2 is going straight ahead to the G4.
[LG G Flex 2] TheAxiks:
i think its fake and here is why:

he say he has the tutorial from this forum, but here is no tutorial
[LG G Flex 2] Jeisblack:

It's coming guys. People have noticed the Enable OEM Unlock option after updating to 5.1. That is for LG's official unlock method which is currently rolling out to the G4. See here: http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS/

6) now pull out your usb cable and your battery, too

7) put your battery back in and boot

well, I'm sure we can't do these steps as our GF2 has got non-removable battery
[LG G Flex 2] X1ras:
The only purpose of pulling the battery is to power off the phone.

We can do that by holding power and volume down for a few seconds.

It was exactly the same for rooting the flex 2 and most people that have tried that have had no problems.
[LG G Flex 2] smouker:
Well you can even get to the step where you have to do this..

You cant reboot in oem or bootloader mode...
[LG G Flex 2] X1ras:
I'm by no means an expert but, surely "reboot" is a standard command that works across all terminal and command prompt interfaces. I imagine the only thing it requires is that the device the command is sent to has the ability to power off.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, it just seems ridiculous to me that you wouldn't be able to use "reboot" in oem or bootloader mode.
[LG G Flex 2] smouker:
No you get me wrong bro :P

You cant boot into bootloader
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
Reading the twrp thread of lg g4 the only way to unlock their bootloader isvdownloading an unlock.bin from lg site after providing imei etc... Only european model of lg g4 can unlock their bootloader... So the same will happen to our device probably... The only solution waiting for lg.also for rooting first twrp then superSU.
[LG G Flex 2] Kochetkov:
Is there any progress with bootloader for LG G Flex 2?
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
I dont know i hope we will have positive news soon.
[LG G Flex 2] CTXz:
Did anyone of you ever try to contact LG?
[LG G Flex 2] ajslay:
I'm bumping this. I would like to know if any any progress has been made. Has anyone contacted lg??? I just got this phone unlocked and I simply cannot leave it stock.
[LG G Flex 2] CTXz:
It uses a SD 810 right?
[LG G Flex 2] TheAxiks:
guys, write mails to LG by your self and don't wait till anybody else post anything ... but stop this "has anyone else, I'm to lazy to do that" ... and you want a stock android phone, buy a nexus, htc or a moto ... they have unlockable bootloaders and they support this ... but stop crying ...
[LG G Flex 2] CTXz:
Is it bad if I ask a question? Is that considered as crying? I don't even own this device I just really like it and support it :eek:
[LG G Flex 2] TheAxiks:
sorry, wrong quote ^^ and yes, it's the 810
[LG G Flex 2] CTXz:
Alright I might give it a shot to port once I am done with my mess ;)
[LG G Flex 2] ajslay:
Yes it does
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
Lg sends the same copy-paste answer to all of us....

"Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

Unfortunately, we have no plans to support bootloader unlock in previously launched models including LG G Flex 2.

We will deliver the email to the related department.

Thank you.

[LG G Flex 2] ajslay:
That's bull. We just need to figure out how to do it without lg.
[LG G Flex 2] Ace42:
Maybe a petition would get them more interested? I wonder how well they'll respond to be called a Communist company that's no better than Apple haha. I find it interesting that they work with Google but refuse to allow boot loader unlock. I mean what's going thru their brains, I'm already feeling ready to go loose on those crooks.
[LG G Flex 2] ajslay:
You never know, that might actually work. We just need someone who can find some sort of exploit.
[LG G Flex 2] Ace42:
I think we need to mobilize all the ATT + VZ users on XDA or those with ATT/VZ devices. The G3, G2, Note 4, Moto E/X/G and a bunch of other variants have locked boot loaders. If everyone bands together we'd have more luck than relying just on G Flex users, which is a small community.

Complaining to the BBB+FCC was an idea I had, but we also need to tell phone manufacturers to stop cellular networks from bullying them into locking down the BL. One argument that needs to be made is against carrier bloat because not only does it produce lag & poor battery, but most of the time we cannot remove all of it.

It's unfair that these idiotic carriers are allowed to interfere with the performance of our devices, which again, we paid for at some point. Also they're blocking access to an Android feature (boot loader unlock via dev tools), something that shouldn't be allowed.

Locked bootloader is against Android mind "open source"! Interesting what Android builders think about that move?

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

Writed to Android for answers, let´s see what they will answer about deals with LG.
[LG G Flex 2] Ace42:
"The publicity got the Android device ecosystem—Google, OEMs, and carriers—to at least *start* paying attention to delivering security updates to users in a timely manner. Google, Samsung, and LG scrambled to get fixes out to their flagship devices and promised monthly security updates for their devices. That was 36 days ago."

Is LG really doing monthly security updates? I wonder if the community could argue that ATT+LG are too slow to defend users from attacks, so an unlocked boot loader would better prepare us by allowing devs to develop quick fixes.

Also stock rom fail tottaly. It lag in use. Had many times when need wait untill something happen with stock and not rooted rom. Never had that problem with stabile custom rom with any device what I had. Got answer that Android/Google will work with my question but because of lot letters it takes time. So need wait I think around week to get answer.

[LG G Flex 2] BZander:
I contacted the dutch division of LG myself and they said the following:

Thank you for contacting LG.

I have asked our technical service department but unfortunately it is not yet known when the bootloader will be unlocked.

Hopefully we can give you more info in the foreseeable future.

Is it because i can't wait for the bootloader to be unlocked or does it sounds like they are working about it?
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
They left a window open with their answer.They didnt closed it like lg. devs did...
[LG G Flex 2] MazdaGTI:
So will we now must put pressure to regional LG units? Will that help us to get unlocked bootloader? In Estonia we don´t have that kind unit but then I will start write to closest LG unit. Let´s try then that way, I think that this will be our only hope when we found in regional LG units people who also like that phone and custom rom! So let´s work guys.

bootloader website

Can anyone confirm that they tried the original poster's suggested website?

I'm a new user so I can't post links but it was the "unlock-bootloader" website that the first poster posted

I don't have the phone but I really want to get one and I didn't see anyone who claimed to have actually tried the method posted on that website.

If you are worried about the stupid survey on the website i was able to get past it and download the "Modaco Superboot" file. I can post it if anyone is interested.

Sorry if it is obvious that the website is garbage I am new to the android scene and I just wanted to makes sure all the bases were checked.

Disapointing....

Following the price drop, I was going to buy one, considering how little support it has as of lgs bad decision, I might go with a g2... I don't want to break the bank, I wish I could have a bit more power than the g2 but I do not want to spend over £200 and I'd prefer £150 or under... Such a shame...
[LG G Flex 2] Blindmanpew12:
My last phone was a g2 and I absolutely loved it. I enjoyed everything about the phone, and I think it has more than enough power even today. However, I went through 2 g2s because parts of the screen would become unresponsive to touch. My entire family has this problem as well, both my brother and my dad have needed to change phones because of this problem. I don't know whether it was just the model we got (at&t d800) but it made the phone completely unusable. I have also seen others online complaining of similar problems, and nothing short of replacing the digitizer could fix it. Not trying to scare you off, but it is something to be aware of. Im really interested in the lg g flex 2, but the lack of bootloader unlock is concerning...
[LG G Flex 2] Zeghio:
Well, you should consider the G3 version! In some online-shops you can find that model for aproximetly 320€ = 365$ = 237£ :rolleyes:
[LG G Flex 2] CTXz:
I have some news. A guy is working for a unofficial loader unlock for the G4. Now IF he manages to unlock it, it should work on the g flex 2. At least I hope
[LG G Flex 2] Blindmanpew12:
Do you have any information on "this guy?" Where did you hear about this from?
[LG G Flex 2] Zeghio:
But the G4 is not the same device... I know that they use similar bootloader but they are not the same... :rolleyes:
[LG G Flex 2] Zeghio:
Any news? ?

What I am trying to say is that the method might apply to the g flex 2 too

If you are a happy rom flasher and wish to try different roms then keep the N6. For us GF2 users just have the stock one provided by LG.
[LG G Flex 2] CTXz:
It's not the same to flash a AOSP based rom on a phone that already runs AOSP compared to flashing a AOSP based Rom on a phone that doesnt run aosp ;)
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
Thats what I meant bro, N6 doesnt have only AOSP roms btw... I had flex1 and we only got a half taste of CM... and the situation looks like GFlex2 wont be getting custom roms...

Maybe make a backup of system before enabling oem unlock and after and then look what changed?

And yea fastboot doesn't work on flex 2... I think.

The only reason i'm not buying this phone...

I was ready to get the phone - seemed perfect and super cheap considering the hardware... I really thought that with LG - one of the more established manufacturers - there would be no problems with unlocking their devices. **** move from LG, im sticking with my xperia z ultra and ancient (but still awesome) xperia pro as a secondary driver. Getting devices which don't have an official bootloader unlocking method (and a decently sized community around them) is a big NO NO for me, its a very bad investment - i learned from past mistakes.

Using Gear S Smartwatch

I have also noticed that the necessary files and plugins to connect the phone to the gear s smartwatch are missing from the 5.1.1 update. I found them on a different XDA thread and installed them manually and now everything works as it should with using the smartwatch for those of you who have one. However, I also noticed with messages app I tried a different approach by dirty flashing 5.1.1 over 5.02 stock and messaging was working fine without ANY force closes. Then I installed everything for my Gear S smartwatch and rebooted. Once I rebooted the messages app began to force close again. I dont know if it is due to reboot like capacitive buttons with haptic feedback, or if it was due to one of the plugins for my smartwatch. If anybody can test it out by dirty flashing then rebooting let me know. Sorry for long post, just trying to help.

How to turn haptic feedback back on for capacitive

For those of you who installed the 5.1.1 rom and lost capacitive feedback after reboot like I did. I found something strange which turned the feature back on. Here's a step by step.

Go into play store and install the app called DU BATTERY SAVER

Once installed, open the app and click on the SAVER TAB at the bottom

In the SAVER TAB click on MY MODE and enable it

Then click on the PENCIL next to MY MODE to Edit it

In there you'll find HAPTIC FEEDBACK IS DISABLED. ENABLE IT.
