Your device does not appear to be unlocked.

Please boot into fastboot mode and run:

fastboot oem unlock

From your computer, then try again.

Press any key to continue . . .

so this is what i am running into. I know with 100% certainty that the device is oem unlocked. I get the whole, "your device software can not be checked for corruption" screen and everything.

i started the process completely stock, with oem locked. I unlocked it as per your instructions and followed everything closely as far as I can tell. i have tried to re-lock oem . reboot and then unlock it again twice, as well as rebooting pc and G5 multiple times. usb debugging is turned on, and usb options are set to file transfer. still same result.

Any ideas?

EDIT: i will leave the whole post up in case some one makes the same mistakes i did and this helps them out. What i needed to do to fix this was simply set "use usb connection for " to photo transfer instead of file transfer.

Now i am stuck on :\Users\test\Desktop\LgG5 RooT\minimal_adb_fastboot_1.4.1_portable>adb reboot recovery

error: no devices/emulators found like another person before me. hopefully this will be figured out soon

EDIT#2: used adb reboot recovery command with phone turned on and on main screen of launcher, not fast boot, like i was trying at first. and twrp loaded up fine.

dont have a sd card to put superuser.zip on and it seems like i can't reach the internal storage download folder through twrp, or atleast i could not find it, so i ended up sideloading it by going to sideload in twrp and typing "adb sideload SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537.zip"

into it.

i hope that documenting all my mistakes and solutions for everyone to see will help someone running into the same problems i was.

H850 or H830?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] autoprime:
this should work for H850 users just fine (if they use their own TWRP build).. but I'm not sure why they'd want to?

recowvery is needed because tmobile variants dont have a working fastboot to flashboot flash the TWRP img.

H850 has proper working fastboot and H850 users can fastboot flash TWRP.

Both the H830 and H850 need to be bootloader unlocked first and require a computer to get TWRP flashed to the device.. so it's not like using recowvery is saving someone from using a computer to get TWRP on the phone. And running recowvery takes 10x longer than using fastboot to flash the img.

Of course.. options are always a good thing and I'm not here to tell people not to go that route.. just saying (and wondering).

Perhaps someone else can come up with another reason to use recowvery over fastboot to install TWRP on H850?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Maybe i'm wrong, but H850 users need to official unlock the device through lg site, we should be able to avoid sending them imei and the id with this method, like on the h830, maybe it is useless for the warranty but never sai never.

Or the fastboot oem unlock command is not available without the unlock bin file?

Btw there are some H850 that cannot be official unlocked, as they are not european.

Mind that i'm just a noob for this things, so i May have said something wrong xD

- Edit -

Never mind, oem unlock command is not available without using the unlock bin xD
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] konchar:
Sorry, didn't specify. It's the t mobile variant so h830

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickylambert:
Thanks for posting, however AFAIK only H850 Europe allows official bootloader unlock. Did you use an alternate method on your H830? I own a H860 and still waiting...

Can't get adb to recognize phone when in bootloader. Tried reinstalling all drivers, and adb. Any advise or am I just not waiting long enough?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Shamec:
It kept saying that my bootloader was still locked and I did unlock it, so I put the minimal_adb folder inside of the easyrecowvery folder on the desktop. Then in easyrecowvery i chose option 5 for extras and advanced tools then option 7 toggle inegrity verification to disable, then option 8 to use eternal adb not bundled. Went back to main menu and it all worked.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] SirDigitalKnight:
On my H830 this step 3 is not possible because it is grayed out? The switch is slid to the right but I can not change that setting because of it being grayed out?​
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] aanonymoushuman:
I had the same issue initially, to fix it I had to manually relock and unlock the bootloader in fastboot before I could proceed.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] SirDigitalKnight:
I will have to do some digging in on what this "fastboot" is all about... thx for the reply. :good:

I have tried over an over and still get the exploit failed error. Has anyone else looked into this?

Or is there any other method to gain root on h830?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] chris.arney:
I've run into the same issue. I'm on 20C, and I get a failure every time it runs the part on the applypatch file. It tells me to check the logs, but the logs only have that it transferred all of the files correctly.

When I run the whole thing manually using jcadduono's instructions on his GitHub repository, I never see the word "recowvery" in the logcat search.

I saw a user mention that autoprime had a comment related to root on 20C, but never found a comment that was helpful for this exact issue. (Thanks autoprime for all you've done!)

Just to add, I previously ran this on 20A, and was successful. I then from TWRP flashed the 20C zip, then the SU zip, then deleted the "recovery-from-boot.p" from /system/, then rebooted. I lost both root and TWRP doing. I'd really like to be on 20C with root and TWRP.

How are others getting to 20C with root and TWRP? Or am I missing something?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] PrinceLc:
I flashed a KDZ of 20c and after that i reflashed twrp and than root
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] chris.arney:
How did you get TWRP flashed from 20C? I tried using the easyrecowvery script. Then I tried doing it manually from the recowvery GitHub instructions. I read through the "hard recowvery" thread, looking for clues.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] PrinceLc:
Sorry my mistake you have the h830 right ? I have the h850
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] chris.arney:
Yes. I've got the H830. I think I left that important detail out.

okay after dozens of hours,I want to know why this is failing? it keeps telling me that the bootloader is locked!! even after I lock it and re unlock it and lock it and re unlock it and locket and re unlockit I have done this 14 times. would someone tell me why? why on gods green earth this is not listed as an issue or at least with a fix for it? after pooling for dozens of hours to get here I get "your bootloader appears to be locked" well if someone would let me know that would be great or throw I just throw this piece of ****t out.

for the moment I have given up and let rooting go, since no one has replied with an answer. Sorry man, for now I just loaded it up with my apps and whatnot. It is a pretty good phone. I am glad I bought it, but now I find that the carrier unlocked phone wont give me mms so I cant send pictures. I have checked through gishan.net and lg help but still no luck. I did accidentally get it to work, testing with my buddy's number but he wasn't paying attention so I kept changing settings for the apn and I'm trying to recreate it. still no luck. anyways hopefully someone answers us? but for now I'll just settle for what I've got. :)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] fc3211:
I have the T-mobile version, I was getting same error until I tried it on a different computer. For whatever reason it would always give that error on my Desktop but then when I tried it on my Laptop it worked no problem. Also try it with a different USB-C cable. Make sure you install the LG drivers for windows first

Also let me ask you this: when you run the command adb show devices does it actually come back with your LG device and the string of numbers?

Because if you run adb show devices (not inside the script I mean at the C:\adb) if you run adb show devices and it says Device '*' not found than your problem is not recowvery, it means that your computer is not seeing the lg g5. So you have to fix that problem first before even bothering with the script

You may have to factory reset the phone first, I did that too so not sure if it helped or not but factory reset the phone first after you have rolled back to 20a and after that try doing this procedure

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mjrpaine:
Hello,

I am new here. I heard about this from the IT personnel at my work. I am hoping someone here can help me. Obviously by my heading ... I have a Galaxy Note 7 and I do not want to turn it in. I have had no issues with it and do not have any other phones I want to get until May when the Note 8 is suppose to come out. What I am looking for is if there is some way around the system updates. I saw that someone had a set up that worked with the older Note series, but nothing that I can find that has been used on the Note 7. If there is, please let me know and if possible, I may need a little guidance thru it. Thank you.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Gaukler_Faun:
Welcome on xda!

It's a better way to ask your question in the device specific forum. Just search for the note 7. There are the people with the same phone (and probably the same question). So I think the chance of getting an answer is there higher...

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] vagsvag:
I am not a user of note 7 but I had read about the problem with battery. They said that is not to much space around the battery and for this explode. So I think that you have to return it immediately because it is serious problem and if you don't return it 1 day you will face it.

dude seriously its not worth it the note 8 will be coming real soon . risking your life and your loved ones for a few days of ocd heaven is not worth it
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mjrpaine:
The note 8 doesn't come out until at least May. I don't have another phone to use until then (since they took my old phone when I got this and they cant get my phone back) and I am not locking into another phone and not being able to get the note 8.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] VegettoSSB:
Note 7 has a battery issue which caused some units to explode. You should return the device to samsung and get a refund. Because this phone is discontinued and Samsung disabling all the remaining note 7 units. You can't carry a note 7 in flights also. Get a refund or get any other samsung device. Almost 90%+ units are returned. Be safe and return the device.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mjrpaine:
I know the issues. I also know it was a small percentage that did meltdown. I know I can't take it on a flight ... and I haven't been on a plane in over 4 years ... so I'm not worried about that. Samsung has also stated it is over 93% that has been returned.

As I stated, I am not looking for anyones input to turn in my device. I am keeping it until it either doesn't work, melts down, or the note 8 comes out. I am not putting myself into a 2 year payment on a phone I dont want. I dont have a ohone to use since they took my note 5 in exchange. So that's the end of that discussion.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] AlvinZahran98:
Again, it's not worth it, you should return the phone and get the refund, believe me, someday you'll regret it if you don't.

We here in lovely XDA community are welcome LineageOS and strongly eager to learn about the new features[emoji6] [emoji106]

As they said on official site : we have not started doing official builds yet.

One of the benefits of this being an open source project is that anyone can build it, but please be careful flashing builds you’ve downloaded from other sources.

We will have some more information on when weeklies (or possibly nightlies) will be starting soon.

Thanks!
