I now have the ls992 and the vs987. If I can contribute in any way, please let me know.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] wolfgart:
two variants ?

Why ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] slacker503:
The Sprint ls992 is my phone. The Verizon vs987 is a work phone.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] scloutkst:
And probably the 2 hardest variants to root. Dang.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] slacker503:
That's true. Verizon and Sprint always lock things down tight.

Is the community having trouble unlocking other devices running a Snap Dragon 820 and Marshmallow?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] scloutkst:
Honestly not sure. I'm currently on a Tmobile v10 with a snapdragon 808. We are kinda counting on the G5 guys to help us figure out how to get root working for us with marshmallow now. We've had root pretty much from day 1 with lollipop though. I'm stuck on lollipop for now because once you go to marshmallow their are no downgrades. You try to downgrade and you get a hard brick. Blah.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] slacker503:
Does it brick it even if you use the LG flash tool and a tot file? That's always been my safety net. Perhaps I will be disabling OTA updates after all.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] scloutkst:
From What I understand yes. It "blows" an e-fuse like the Samsung phones. Once it's flashed that's that. No downgrades, period.

I can't find the post where some one mentioned something akin to an e-fuse, but I know it's a hard brick either way for us v10 users who try to downgrade.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] waylo:
There's an anti-roll back flag on some LG phones on some carriers. G4 had it also. T-Mobile for sure. Each version increments the anti-roll back flag #. If you try to flash an older version, which has a flag # less than the # stored in the register, it's a brick. Even if you use 'legit' methods like LGUP. No second tries with this garbage method of 'protection'. At least with Samsung bootloaders, it will just refuse to flash.

Autoprime and I wrote about it on the G4 forums a ways back:

http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/psa-warning-try-to-downgrade-g4-t3197675

At least for the G4, the MM rollback # was the same as the Lollipop one, so you could flash back and forth without penalty. Sorry to hear that's not the case for the V10.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] roosta:
I'd love to jump on the G5 myself given the issues i'd had since flashing a rooted update...but given how poor the dev community was with the G4 and 90% of its variants, there's not much hope for this device going much further than a difficult root process and maybe 1 or 2 custom ROMs at best :( Hope I'm wrong.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] garwynn:
The G4 suffered in the dev community because only a few got their hands on them. I didn't even get my H815 until February, after the bringup was done. (And most of that was done without a device in hand, part of why it took so long.)

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Smithfolk4:
Autoprime is the post you are quoting (OP), but I am 99% sure that you have the right link. I use the debloater tool. It is for your PC, not an app for your phone. You hook the phone up to the computer and the program uses ADB to disable apps. It is very easy to use. The only issue I had is that I have to set the phone to photo transfer mode to get it to communicate. Not sure why, but it works fine that way.

Hi sir. Good eve to all, anyways i just humbly asking a little suggestion to any of u here. I am a totally noob by the way. Im new to LG and i am planning to buy this phone within this week. But as of reading in xda only h830 and h850 have a development. A little things bother me in my place i think and i believe only h860 is available(middle east). Now my question is, do i need to buy h860 and expect an improvement or development in this version, or should i find an h850/h30 version and go for that one??

[MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION]

Using the T-Mobile method of blocking OTA's works great but how do you think I should implement that when building a stock rom? Pulling the system image after I run those commands on it or will a script being run after rom installation work? If both will work, which do you think would be preferable? Thanks for everything, as always!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] autoprime:
disabling things via pm disable/hide edits things in /data not /system.. so pulling system after running would do nothing. would have to be something that runs on first boot. or you'd have to edit the Google Services framework to disable updates.

I've recently ran into issues with wakelocks that appear related to disabling system updates. Needs more research to see how to stop that. Seems not everyone will experience the wakelock all the time.. but those who do will need to re-enable updates to stop the wakelock.

further discussion on this matter is better suited for another thread... such as the LG G5 Battery Drain thread or perhaps an entirely new one.

Hi all, I'm about to get a G5 and I'd really like the dual sim but an unlocked bootloader and root is even more important to me. After reading through this thread, it seems as though it is not possible to unlock the bootloader on the h860 model, but I noticed a few people mentioning that they were attempting the .TOT exploit used on the h830 version. Is it possible using this technique or is it a no-go? If it isn't possible, I'd probably just go with the h850. Thanks in advance! :D
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anarchist77:
Buy an H850(international). The H830 is also unlockable...but only with a custom TOT. For full LG Official support etc go with an H850 variant.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] autoprime:
H860 has no public bootloader unlock as of the exact moment. But to predict the future is kinda hard. nothing is impossible.

But currently there are no public methods to unlock any of the locked G5 devices. So as of today, only EU H850 and USA H830 can be unlocked.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sugerdroid:
Thanks, y'all. I will primarily be attempting to use the device for 4G LTE on the AT&T network in the US. I believe my account is already equipped for 4G LTE since I've been using the Samsung S5 AT&T variant. It looks like the AT&T variant of the G5 has a few additional LTE bands. Are there any differences between the H830 and the H850 in terms of LTE support? They look about the same but I want to maximize my ability to take advantage of network speeds as well.

Any thoughts? All network-oriented things being equal I'd go with the H850 simply due to the straightforwardness of using the bootloader unlock tool.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] autoprime:
as the network list in the OP shows... H850 has all the same LTE bands as the H830.. plus more.

Only benefit H830 would have is wifi/lte calling while on tmobile... but yore using AT&T so doesn't even matter.

I'd suggest getting the H850. On top of more LTE bands.. you also avoid the hassle of trying to unlock the H830 sim card.. plus H830 fastboot is "broken" so it's a bit more of a process getting TWRP going.

Just be sure to get a European H850.. and not a H850TR or a H850 Asian variant etc. Only the European H850 can be bootloader unlocked.
