[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Jarritos:
so i did try to get the image to boot, no luck, i do have my fastboot unlocked , yet when i try to push twrp i get a failed.

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

i did this with the tmobile model, and it says all this yet i still get the failed execution. so im assuming my fastboot unlocked but not the bootloader?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] djxn40:
Sad news... I was ready to buy one today if this worked.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] duckysempai:
I tried this the other night but didn't work for me. Said H850 bootloader unlock wasn't supported or something along those lines. There's a post in the forums on the LG site about unlocking the bootloader:

Hopefully we'll hear something soon

I'm itching for a new device! S7 huge disappointment . I would love to own the g5 of this happens. Thanks for letting us know
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Jarritos:
It's still a great phone, just give it some tlc
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] djxn40:
I bought one for my wife after returning the s7. The g5 is a great phone. I might can live without flashing but no way I'm buying a phone I can't gain root on. So I hope someone figures this out
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Jarritos:
Great choice, but I understand how you feel. I will be very disappointed if we can't get a root but I will keep it needless.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] slacker503:
Has anyone found a system dump for the ls992? I would be far more willing to dive a bit deeper into all of this if I had the comfort of knowing I could use the LG firmware utility and a stock image to flash my phone if I brick it.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] stevierayvaughan:
I'm considering the G5, I would miss root (until someone eventually--hopefully--does it) from my phone now, but was the G4 or G3 rooted??
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Jarritos:
Yes both were, I had both
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] stevierayvaughan:
Thanks, so to compare for G5's potential, how long after their release did they get root? To think how long it might be for us to wait for the G5.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Jarritos:
Well the g4 actually had problems at first, you actually had to flash a whole ROM that was already present twrp installed. The g3 took about three weeks from what I remember. I'd give it two months from what I've tinkered with the phone. We may have a problem but it will be solved
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] One Twelve:
MM requires that the bootloader be unlocked to get root. The only G4 versions that allowed OEM BL unlock were Euro versions. That's it.

Why the Euros got it and everybody else got screwed is unknown. Never got a good answer to that question and since nothing has changed it seems a policy not to allow it in the first place unless there are extenuating circumstances which seems to be the case in the EU.

if you didn't upgrade to MM, you could root with L as this BL unlock restriction isn't there on L.

Get a Euro G5, you will be able to root. I expect like with the G4. This is where the roms will be. You can forget that nice camera at this point. Roms & good camera don't mix well yet.

if you can't get a Euro G5, are you willing to live with no root. Ever. if so proceed otherwise look elsewhere. Do not buy and then hope it will change, buy only when it DOES change.

Everything this company is doing deserves credit except this boneheaded policy of no BL unlock.

Are we sure that twrp hasn't made a recovery yet? Maybe give them a few weeks
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] DualSportDad:
I'm unfortunately going to have to return my phone. I need to be able to tether. I'll buy a Nexus phone till this one has root then I'll most likely buy it again. Great phone but useless to me if there's no root.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] stevierayvaughan:
Thanks that's a clear explanation, and especially appreciate the reminder about the camera! Much as I love root, having the stock camera has to be a significant point of the purchase so I'd probably stick with that. Damn tough to decide though :p
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] djxn40:
I feel the same way. May have to go with a 6p
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] _ray_:
Why go with older tech when you can get an upgrade now ? and if you dont want G5 maybe hold on for something different.

Point is that root and custom rom/kernel can make your device faster but only to a certain extent, it will not make your old device cause miracles when it comes to certain tasks like gaming and multitasking. On the other hand a device with upgraded hardware will mostly always give you better performance straight out of the box.

Finally, dont be a victim of buyers remorse like many others out there, get the best tech you can afford and be happy with it :)
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] djxn40:
I'm waiting for either root on g5 or see when the HTC m10 comes out
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] DualSportDad:
I bought the best available, I'm not happy with it. Don't get me wrong the phone is sweet, I've owned a 5x (got rid of it cause of previous issues the phone had which are now fixed except for the crap speaker) and currently have a Nexus 6 (crappy camera and no finger print scanner). The g5 ticks all the boxes except wifi tethering and that's something I need. It's my only internet at the house. For half the price I'll deal with the poor speaker of the 5x and get the next Nexus later this year. If the made a Google play edition g5 I'd be all over it!
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] djxn40:
Well they got a g5 rooted and a recovery installed on it. So it's just a matter of time. Now I will be getting the G5... awesome!
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Jarritos:
Where did they?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] DualSportDad:
I saw that. I'll continue to use my Nexus 6 till root comes out for the g5 or until Friday when my return window is up. I jumped the gun buying this phone, I should have waited till root was available.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] djxn40:
In the LG g5 thread. It's still in progress but they are far enough to prove it's gonna happen. Even have a video showing root and recovery
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Jarritos:
Thanks man. I knew it was a matter of time. I have no rush really this phone is great even without root.

Let's not get too cocky yet...let's wait until the masses have it in their hands, rooted, with disabled forced updates. Been cocky...got knocked down because of all the chatter. Keeping my fingers crossed...this phone would be AMAZING times 10 with root, roms, TWRP, and Xposed!
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] billybob275:
It looks like this may only work for the T-Mobile variant at this time since its the only one with an unlockable bootloader out of the box, but it is good news that the "secondary lock" can be bypassed. Just a guess, but the EU version may benefit from this too since LG is supporting an official unlock for it in the coming weeks. All of the other variants, we're probably out of luck and will remain locked down.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] slacker503:
Agreed. I have to have xposed. Custom ROMS tend to cause display, Bluetooth, and camera issues, but I would be happy to root and strip down the stock ROM and install xposed. I'm also hoping we can get something akin to G3 tweaksbox for the ls992.

Even if we are still weeks or months away from root on some variants, I'm glad things are picking up speed.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Jarritos:
Same here. Im glad it will come to us soon, although I feel as if it will take a bit longer than a month.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] djxn40:

Still no new news?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] slacker503:
Has anyone been able to get into the marshmallow UI tuner on the G5? Long pressing the settings shortcut does nothing. Any thoughts on an alternative method of accessing that feature, or will we have to wait and pray to the root gods for the phone to be unlocked first?

The LG UX 5 interface overlay must have removed this functionality from these devices.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Swiftks:
Think it was just replaced by LG with the OOO>< (three circles and arrows) button when you pull down the notification panel, next to the settings button... Pretty much does the same things, more or less, right?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] slacker503:
Can you post a screenshot? All I have on the ls992 variant is the edit pencil to change the settings shortcuts.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Swiftks:
Here you go... Don't think I did anything special to get it... That I can remember. I did enable developer settings, but I doubt that had anything to do with it. Just been there as far as I can remember, since I got the phone. Maybe I did do something to enable it, or maybe the US variant is different.. Or maybe we're not talking about the same thing. [emoji6]
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] slacker503:
You and I are talking about the same thing. Thanks for the screenshots. My pencil icon does the same as your dots and arrows icon.

No new updates to the quest for root?

I think it'll be a while before root is possible on bootloader locked variants.

H850 European variants will be allowed to bootloader unlock soon.

XDA Assist is for new members to learn the way around the website, not for senior members who should know their way around. You need to decompile it using apktool, do what you want, and then recompile it. Also, try to find VTS (Virtuous Ten Studio) as that will help too. Good luck!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiohead14:
looking at either this or the iPhone SE. the iPhone has already been confirmed to have VOLTE on T-Mobile unlocked, but I heard the Z5C is still unsupported. any updates on these two features? would prefer to get the Z5C, as I'm upgrading from the Z3C, but not if the Z5C is still lacking these two features.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottjb:
IMO there's no point in buying the US version of the Z5C without the fingerprint reader. Get a European version. I bought mine from Clove UK.

I am interested in the iPhone SE too but I'm not sure I can live with iOS long term. Where did you see VoLTE would work on the unlocked version?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiohead14:
oh I heard the US version has the fingerprint scanner enabled via a different firmware?

also, I confirmed that the unlocked iPhone SE will work via both T-mobile and Apple store employees. PC Mag also used an unlocked version for their review and mentions VOLTE working: http://www.pcmag.com/review/343254/apple-iphone-se-sim-free

T-Mobile also added the SE to the list: http://www.t-mobile.com/optional-services/coverage-phones-700.html
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiohead14:
is there at least a rom that will enable both features? looking at the dev section, it seems dead. definitely not as supported as the Z3C was.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiohead14:
man what happened to this place? Z3C forum used to be active when it came to the US. I guess the Z5C community isn't as big huh.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
I think you're only going to get VoLTE when a phone is also sold by the carrier. Similar to WiFi calling, the carrier builds the feature into the firmware.

The iPhone, even the unlocked version is designed to be fully supported on T-Mobile. Sony phones are not. I doubt even a custom ROM can help you either.

Sent from the only flagship device that can fit in my hand... Sony Experia Z3 Compact
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiohead14:
thanks. yea sadly it looks like i'll have to leave android for now as i just got the iphone se. it's the only option left as far as fully featured unlocked small phones. really sucks that sony discontinued the compact line and that their phones aren't fully supported here. the Z3C was an awesome phone.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottjb:
Just got an SE myself. As soon as someone makes a flagship small phone I will be back on Android. Not sure how long this iPhone will last but I love the size and am willing to give it a try.

[XDA Assist] siva992:
I have a Lenovo A606 phone with me that was preloaded with Android KitKat. I'm still new to the technical part of Android, so I decided to explore my phone by rooting it with Kingroot, which allowed me to access the system drive to remove bloatware and etc. The phone also came with a crappy launcher, so I decided to replace the launcher with Google Now Launcher and then remove the original launcher so that the RAM and processor is not choked on any background processes. This, with an intention to give my phone the stock look.

A couple of months back I decided to factory reset my phone and guess what. After that, my phone became launcherless, if that's even a word. Now, the phone just boots into a white screen that says initializing, please don't turn off device. This can take forever as I'm pretty sure what the software is trying to do, which is load the default launcher which is now missing.

Some of the solutions I've looked around the web is installing a custom rom to the phone. But the phone now pretty much is useless as it does not allow me to do anything. Not even getting to the settings page because the notification bar does not have a direct button to settings but has options to toggle wifi, bluetooth and so on. It allows me to drag and drop files via the PC but that doesn't do much. I've tried some adb techniques, all of which failed because of one error which is "error: closed". Anyways, I'm not that savvy with that.

With all due respect, if there's anyone out there who can help me get through this problem by all means, not even running its stock rom or maybe run another similar rom. Oh, and btw, it's running android stock recovery. Your help is much appreciated and your help explained detailed and listed step by step would be even more great! Thanks!

Details:

S7 edge, marshmallow 6.0, nova launcher 4.2.2

When I turn off the status bar in Nova Launcher(I like a clean look), and then tey to pull down my notifications ny swiping down on the home screen, I get a pop up from Nova that days I need to "Enable Accessibility Services" in order to get my notifications. It only gives me this popup if I try to access notifications from the home screen, accessing them with an app on screen is no problem.

When I navigate through the settings and click "Enable Accessibility Services", a warning pops up and says something to the effect of: "Nova wants to monitor when you open apps, what you do and notificaions you get through these apps." This seems like spying to me.

Interestingly, I can simply swipe down again over the first popup box(the "Enable Accessibility Services" box) and my notifications will pull down as usual but this is annoying-having to constantly swipe over the popup.

As of right now, I have-with hesitation-enabled the accessibility services.

I've successfully unlocked my bootloader, and oh my GOD it's amazing, running CM13 and TWRP. Just a question - what kernels/roms can I use? Should I wait for development to begin for these, or just use the generic KLTE version? I'm pretty sure that I can use a generic kernel, but tell me if I'm wrong. Thanks.

Also, thank you SO MUCH to getex, beaups, and any others who helped make this a reality. I never imagined it [emoji23]

And then you realize everyone with the same CID can erase your phone ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'd imagine any of the top kernels in the Unified Development section would apply, since we have the capability as any G900X now.

Try them out and find what works for you! It's easy and safe.

Blaze™ Kernel is top-rated if you don't know where to start.

If you are looking for more balance, try Avalon Kernel.

Anyone knows of a case for the S7 that can used with the Gear VR without having to remove the case? I have the Luvvit Clear Case and even though it is relatively thin, it has to be removed to get the S7 to plug in the Gear VR.

Same thing for the screen protector, even with the case removed, plugging the phone in the VR presses against the screen protector (amFilm Glass, which is crap) and pushes it up by about a cm. Anyone tried to use the VR with a screen protector as well?

Also, the amFilm Glass protector has the dot matrix on it and those really ruin the Gear VR experience as they are highly visible. I'd imagine all glass protectors that have the dots will be the same.
