[LG G5 Questions & Answers] silviumc:
Finally, happy end.

The phone can be unlocked, even if it says "this phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked".

Some information for whoever uses Google and finds this thread:

There is about a dozen programs that can do this, Octoplus Octopus etc. They cost about $80-$150 so it's not worth buying them to unlock just one phone. These programs run only if they detect some type of hardware dongle or smartcard. But there are people on ebay that do remote unlocking, through Teamviewer.

I had to downgrade from 10i to an even older image, 10d. The good news is that it's possible to downgrade from Android 7 to 6. I used Uppercut 1.0.0 and LGUP 1.14.3. Also after downgrade I performed a hard-reset ("refurbish") with the hardware buttons, search google for LG G5 hard-reset. As a matter of fact, I did this after every reflash, to have a clean OS.

So asadnow2k unlocked it for $15, but after unlock the IMEI was reset to 0 and had to put my IMEI back too. Also, arm yourself with the patience of a saint because asadnow2k takes ages between replies on skype. He did unlock my phone eventually, but it took two days. You might be better off taking the phone to a local repair shop. But not to the official LG repair or carrier Service.

You can downgrade by Flashing MIUI Rom via EDL Mode. Your data will be deleted so make a backup before flashing.

You should flash Miui 8.1.2.0 or 8.1.4.0, it has way better battery life compared to old Miui8 builds. No need to downgrade to Miui7.

hello i'm mi 5s 4gb/128gb user

yesterday, i was using cyanogenmod 13 but i want to use miui again

so i restored nendroid backup from twrp recovery

that was start of diaster..

after this. fingerprint scanner mostly doesn't work

sometimes fingerprint scanner work correctly after reboot, it doesn't work.. and sometimes... it works...

i did many many method (global rom, china rom via edl mode, fastboot mode) but everything has same result,

so i looked at my logcat

it says

QFP : QfpThreadMatch::execute: match result -3: QFP_INSUFFICIENT_COVERAGE

with my finger or not logcat said same result

why my fingerprint scanner doesn't work?

is it hardware issue?

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] BPSoft:
Maybe placebo effect but people are saying Global rom had improved fingertip detection rate.

If i were you, i would flash as stock as possible, recovery, bootloader, lock status, everything, just to determine software versus hardware failure.

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] EpicSauce:
I had a problem which seemed to be hardware related after flashing the Chinese developer ROM and then later restoring a Miui EU ROM from a backup. My problem was with audio - there was no sound coming from the speaker or headphone output. I did diagnostic tests which failed - indicating a hardware problem.

It was only after re flashing the EU Miui ROM that the problem was resolved.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] jpg3927:
i solved it

i think this was problem of driver

so i needed rollback of driver

first. i flashed 6.10.13 eu rom over 6.12.29

it occurs bootloop

second. i flashed 6.12.29 over 6.10.13 again. and fingerprint works like charm again!

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] dabyd64:
Still very buggy. We have to wait for xiaomi to release the source code to get nice CM .

Flash the stable global using fastboot, it will erase everything, and will be great again.

Hi everyone.

I am new here. I have a samsung galaxy grand 2. All the drivers are installed on my laptop. When i connect to the laptop, I can use it in media device option and transfer files from the computer. But my issue is that neither Odin nor Kies are recognizing my phone. I need Odin or Kies to install a new rom on the phone.

Thanks
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sacp:
To install with Odin you need to put the phone in "Download mode". On samsung is usually pressing the volumen down when powering the phone. (if it has a physical home button, press both volume down and home when powering).

With keys, I think it should find the phone but will only find official ROMs (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

Pretty sure there are several topics with "how-to" in this forum, make a quick search for more information.

Note: don't forget to check which version of Grand 2 you have - I have a g7106 which is a chinese version; the european version is g7102 (g7105 I don't remenber from where it is).
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeonzYT_XDA:
If it doesnt recognize the device. Try doing volume down just like what [MENTION=6011003]sacp[/MENTION] said and ODIN will recognize you. And then at the kies part if you have kitkat and up use kies 3 so the phone whill be recognized.

[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quasiperiodic:
Excellent guide, thanks elementcarbon12!

I'm a total new comer to rooting and getting my hands dirty with android (although I am a long time linux user), and i made it work, and now have a fire hd 6 that I can sort the way I want it!

I did encounter a few problems though, first, I did not do a factory reset /data wipe after the downgrade and ended up in a boot loop. This was easily sorted by using the "adb reboot recovery" command, doing the data wipe/reset and then holding down power for 20 sec.

Everything was smooth sailing again until the reboot out of TWRP after installing the ZIP files. I did the wimps reboot to recovery to make sure I didn't get TWRP, which I didn't, so rebooted to get into android, however I entered a boot loop again. This time a simple hold the power for 20 sec and then turn on worked and the system started it's 'optimization'.

Upon completion, i still had root, although ES and my chosen launcher had gone, so had to reinstall them. No problems there though.

So thank you very much for collection all of the information and links from other pages into this one easy to follow post!

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] silviumc:
I took my phone to the service and they have told me that it was rooted. I did not do that.

It was bought "refurbished" from an authorized Orange Shop. It's possible that the previous owner rooted it. The software appeared to have been reflashed by Orange when I bought it, because it seemed LG stock, without any updates.

How can I tell, where do I look?

How can I tell when it was done?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] 90simgre:
1.

Do you have a yellow/red warning triangle when booting? If not you're definitely not rooted.

If you have a warning triangle try downloading "SuperSU" and "phh's superuser" from the appstore, if both say something along the lines of "binary not found" you are probably not rooted.

2.

You can't, to the extent of my knowledge.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] silviumc:
I don't see any yellow/red warning triangle where booting. I don't know where they're supposed to appear. There's only an LG logo animation.

To root a phone don't you need to unlock the bootloader? This process goes through LG's website, they send a key for that. So they have records for this.

Is this correct? You have to unlock the bootloader in order to root, right? There is no other way?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:
If you use the following dialer code:

*#546368#*830#

Just change the 830 to whatever your model number is I.e. h831 is 831, etc.

Go through the menus and look for LG RCT (it's lg root check test)

It will say if it detected that it is either rooted it attempted to be rooted and will show the date it was done. Hope that helps you.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] silviumc:
Now that is the deep wizardry that I knew I would find on this forum. Thank you jeffsga88.

I typed *#546368#*850# and reached a LG RCT submenu. There are three options in it:

LG RCT Check

Enabled

Display Result

It opens a window that contains this:

Official

[h1:LGH850*******:7.01]

Copy Result To SD Card

Should I interpret "Official" as "not rooted"?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:
Yes official means it's passing the lg root check. That's usually the easiest thing to check, maybe lg is using some other means to detect past rooting? I know flashing a completely stock kdz will reset the lg RCT to say official but again not sure if lg is checking something else. Maybe someone else can chime in.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nick216ohio:
When you relock bootloader and flash kdz. Lg wont be able to tell you where rooted. Did it was past LG phones and others with no issue with factory warranty.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] silviumc:
How can I check if the boot loader is locked or unlocked?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] 90simgre:
By checking if you can see a warning-triangle before the boot-animation, but since you said you couldn't see one that means your bootloader must be locked.
