Sorry for confusion .

First thing first i got the bootloader unlock. I also install the twrp, when twrp installed it said it got installed. When i press volume + down key, I cant see TWRP install. Now when i try to reconnect my phone using adb. it says the "Device not Found" but i have my usb cable attach to the phone

[MENTION=4749794]Warrior1975[/MENTION]: List of adb device coming up blank and Yes i do have LG Mobile Universe. Also it doesnt ask me to communicate with my phone but i can select what kind of usb debuggin i want for my phone like PTP , charging , MTP. Now the funny thing is my phone is displaying the bootloader unlock

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Warrior1975:
When you plug your phone into computer, where is it saying device not found? You are still in bootloader unlock mode? Did you do anything after unlocking bootloader?

No worries, we are here to help bro.

So I finally got around to rooting the phone and flashing TWRP 2.8.7.1. My question is when the phone boots with the LG splash screen, does everyone have a text below the front camera which says "BOOTSTATE: UnLocked!"

All my years of rooting phones never had this before lol.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Zugshad:
Yes.this is normal

After you installed twrp did you follow that command with the fastboot Boot twrp img? Or did you reboot and then try with the buttons.

If. You rebooted my guess is that it went back to factory recovery. Go bank to adb. And flash twrp again and then do the fastboot to it. This "sets" it as I think rebooting someone had said factory overides it.

This is my guess

Adb

Whenever I run this program all I get is "waiting on device".... What am I doing wrong?? And YES I have the LG drivers installed
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] humkitumki:
That prolly means that you device is not authorize. Try adb device. If your device is not authorize then go to setting -> developer-> revoke usb connection (this will reset your usb authorize and will ask your phone usb to authorize again ). This should solve the problem. I had same exact problem.

I finally got twrp install . hopefully now i can install the root.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] GiSS88:
For the known issues, are they minimal? As in, does the time just need to be set once and I'm good to go? And if I leave it stock but rooted, no issues with the second screen?

Still not working..... I give up, I'll just wait until someone comes out with a video tutorial
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] tongueman87:
This is my issue followed everything to a T. But notice that last command? It shows my phone when it is running but the moment it goes into boot loader you notice above it doesn't show device listed. Sucks cause Im not a noob at rooting an all. Installed adb, drivers and all. What strikes me is that when I type the fastboot flash recovery its not able to locate the img even when i right click and open in the folder location of the img. Any help would be greatly appreciated
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] tongueman87:
Btw my boot loader is unlocked
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] YrrchSebor:
When you're in the bootloader, type fastboot devices...

Did you perhaps make a spelling error when typing the flash command? Either that or maybe you're not in the directory where the recovery image is?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Zugshad:
It;s because your not in the right directory for the img file..

Your file needs to be in the same folder as where you installed ADB, and you need to run your commands from that folder.. make sure to copy the img to the adb folder, then right click that folder and run command prompt from that, other option if that doesnt work is to run the CD command from within the command prompt to change your directory and navigate to the right folder.

What is the issue again? can give some pics of the error and i'll try and help figure it out

Bro I'm sorry I'm so damn tired didn't never type img at the end.....fml....forgive my ignorance lmfao
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] YrrchSebor:
You have to type the exact name of the recovery jlimage. It looks like you were typong recovery.img but it looks like you didn't rename the file to recovery.img?

When you start typing the name of the file, you can hit Tab and it will complete the name for you. So you could type fastboot flash recovery twr.... Then hit Tab and it'll finish the name for you
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] tongueman87:
Yeah I figured it out lmfao never typed the img at the end of the file name for the recovery.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] YrrchSebor:

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] tongueman87:

I see many comments about having to have the bootloader unlocked but can't for the life of me find anything about "how" to unlock it, when I check the box it asks for a code?

I've rooted and customized my three previous phones and not once did I run into a locked bootloader so this is my first foray into this.

and ..

Yes I did read that but what is listed after "is it locked" did not appy since I can't check OEM unlock with out a code.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Zugshad:
Are you on tmo or AT&T. This is not the same as SIM unlock. Tmo doesn't require a code to unlock the boot loader. Those commands under itnare telling you how to unlock it.

Enable dev options

Check the oem unlock button

Then follow those adb commands

If your anything other than Tmo then this. Isn't going to work

Since I use the figerprint unlock and have never used the actual backup code I never even tried. :(
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] robl45:
Glad I could help, I use the fingerprint unlock too, unfortunately I end up using the pin more because the fingerprint either doesn't work or the phone is laying flat. stupid place for a finger print sensor if you ask me. Apple wins this one, my wifes phone just works for the fingerprint without hassle.

What's the button combo for to enter bootloader?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] MyNameIsCosmo:
With the device powered off,

Plug a USB cable into a computer

Hold down the VOLUME DOWN button on your phone, and plug in the USB cable

Once you see the "LG" boot screen, you could let go.

If done successfully, you'd see small text (usually in red) at the top left of your screen.

Seems like yesterday I was rushing my oldest to the ER with a high fever as an infant, she leaves for college in 10 months. :( My little ones mother abandoned them and hasn't seen them at all in 11 months.
