I have a thing for details, but I'll take your word and flash the Hard-SPL :)

Currently I have WM5, so any WM6 would probably be an improvement. I'm hoping to be able to play around a bit with different ROMs as soon as I feel pretty safe about bricking. Some of the light ROMs look very attractive, especially these ones: K's Rom v1.30a Lite, Schap's WM6 Pro 4.30 ROM and Shamanix`s Grass v2.2.

I would also like to try the full version of both Schap's and kin0kin's. Especially the last one because of the auto installation feature.

But I haven't looked closely at all the different ROMs yet, so there might be others that suits my needs better. My only prerequisite is .NET Compact Framework 3.5. If you have a favourite, let me know :)

Pandora Naked 6, by far the fastest and is also very stable.

You can cook your own ROM....follow the instructions in the pandora kitchen thread...its REALLY easy.

I have an old Vodafone 895N, pretty good phone, fast, big, cheap but the

signal doesn't work like is supposed to do.

Sometimes it let me do phone calls, messages (with a delay) but sometimes doesn't do them at all,

The phone is 60 USD, but i can't sell it with this problem and i can't use it either because the calls are why the phones are made :D ..

8 GB, 1 GB RAM, Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53, Android 5.0.2

I have tried to root it, to install the stock firmware again but none of it worked.

I'm sure there is a hardware problem that might be fixed but at a cost that is more then 50% of the phone itself FOR SURE ..

maybe i'll open it myself and see what's inside :D ..

anyway ..

What would you do with a phone like this ?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adiedi:
Hello,

I'm a new member on this forum, I read all threads related with the problem which I have, and maybe I did something wrong but nothing helped with the phone.

The problem started one day, when the phone showed only the decrypt storage message:

"Decrypt unsuccessful. The password you entered is correct, but unfortunately your data is corrupt. To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google account."

The factory reset, suggested by the phone, returned the phone to the decrypt storage message. Recovery option and FACTORY RESET from HBOOT level comes back to the decrypt storage message again.

Somehow I managed to get the Android Recovery:

The above error comes up after Wipe Cache Partition and Wipe Data/Factory Reset

The only difference, now phone stocks on HTC Logo.

After applying an update via SDcard it shows:

HBOOT SDCard read:

RUU from https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general/make-custom-recovery-htc-one-m8s-t3114245 for Voodaphone UK recognise the device is connected (when in fastboot mode) but on the beginning of the installation restarts the phone into bootloader mode, and phone tries to startup the system (so RUU software can not proceed, as the device is not connected). Even after manually restarting the phone (during the RUU installation process) to fastboot mode, it still shows the device is not connected.

The recovery via flashboot shows: ( I tried this with all types of recovery images)

I tried to flash firmware, using all firmwares from the above forum, with the same effect. Phone was verifying the certificates and fail, also remote access fail.

I tried unlock the bootloader via htcdev website, the phone accepted the unlock code, showed me the screen with an option to YES (unlock it), NO (keep it locked). After choosing YES, it still shows S-ON, and within cmd it says the oem is still locked. Tried this couple times with the same effect ( I requested for new unlock_code each time).

It looks like my options are running out, any advice? Maybe I did something wrong, could someone explain me step by step how to deal with this problem?

Btw, the phone MID and CID are:

Thank you for any advice.

Sorry for so massive imgs.

I could say only have you tried taking that sd card out before starting it up?

that screenshot looks like the one I got with sd card in and a bad ruu.

So taking out the sd card you should get the normal bootloader screen when you use the button combo.

Thx mate, I know to end the loop I have to take the SDcard out. I will try all RUUs once again, maybe I mess somewhere.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kruc Ire:
How did it turn out? What android version and build number do you have on there now?

You can't get s off from simply unlocking the bootloader via the HTC code. That is only (in some cases not at all) available by spending additional money at a method called 'sunshine'. However in many cases it isn't appropriate anyways for all users depends what you are trying to do. .

So the device is released.

And do u think the trend of bootloader unlock will follow as for any flagship lg phone or maybe different.

Any bootloader ,future development and security ..

Lg g3 - no bl unlock / only bump hack

Lg g flex 2 - no bl unlock on any variant

Lg g4 - only european variant of global model

Lg v10 - only european variant

Lg g5 - only european variant

Lg v20 - with france model as exception / dirtysanta exploit on all single sim variant

Lg g6 - ...

And oh yea ! T-mobile provides bootloader option support.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] albertoduqe:
Hi everybody,

for a newcomer here: I understand there is not and will not be a chance of unlocking the bootloader and then rooting the G6 unless LG officially makes the device unlockable? Am I really very far from the actual

What are the chances of that?

I read somewhere (don't know where at this point after going over a bunch of threads) that most G5 models have never been unlocked...

Thanks!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
No one is working on an unofficial way to unlock the bootloader or bypass the locked one, AFAIK, so yes, we have to wait LG to add the G6 to the official bootloader unlock program, mind that usually only the european international model will support this method.

On G5 there are three models with a bit of modding: European H850 (Official bootloader unlock), T-Mobile H830 (Tot Exploit) and US Unlocked RS988 (Official Bootloader Unlock), also the G5 SE has is present in that program but there is no TWRP ATM.

If you have an European H870 then just wait for LG, if not and if you need root then there is no ETA and no information about a possibility to obtain root.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] albertoduqe:
Alright!

Thanks a lot for the reply. Seems I was understanding more or less ok the situation, although as for now I lack most of the technical knowledge.

I own a H870 so well, looks like we just need to hope and wait :)

Seeing how stuff is with LG's not unlocking its devices and all I was actually pondering wether to return it or not... Got 3 days left for full refund. Love the phone but not ever rooting is a bit of a sad perspective...

I'll keep an eye on things.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] rubiicon59:
What's the reasoning behind this?

Is it akin to LG's absurd decisions regarding which region gets what hardware / features?

This doesn't sit well with me, I'm used to an OEM fully supporting open development... I've had a Sony Xperia Z2 for the past 3 years and both the phone and the XDA community have been awesome.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Just look to the G5 and G4, it's all based on that.

-edit-

My fault, didn't understand well xD

Well LG is not new to this strange and stupid decision, like not selling the V20 in Europe ecc...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] rubiicon59:
Wow man, quickest quote / reply I've ever had lol.

Yep, I've been reading through the V20 forum as well as here, more than 6 months after release and there's still very little development on the V20.

I think coming from Sony to LG is gonna be an eye-opener for me.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Barsky:
Indeed they do. But, now they strip out all the fastboot commands, which is what makes twrp & root so difficult. Same on the g5.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anarchist77:
I personally, would like to think based on LG's previous Bootloader Unlocking... That it will hopefully only be a matter of time for the G6 to be officially Unlocked.

It is something that I personally can wait for..

But it does ask the question?... Who or what/how are the bootloader decisions made @ LG as to what handsets are given the full LG Bootloader unlocking?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Barsky:
I hope so, but the g5 and v20, which are close to the same in this respect, haven't been cracked since a december pacth that blocked "recowvery". There are ways to keep root from previous versions, but we have no previous version.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anarchist77:

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lmiked:
Hey! Sorry for the delay...

Nope! Unfortunately I wasn't able to unlock... It says your model LG-H870 (SOUTH AFRICAN) is not supported at this moment or something like that so... Despite being the exact same model and hardware... It appears that, like the G4, only the European variant is going to get the luxury of getting the bootloader unlocked... We should really protest and DEMAND that LG supports unlock for all variants.... It's not fair! We got the same model, pay the same or more money... And don't get the support for unlocking our device's bootloader??? Why is that??

I had the LG G4 H815P, which was the same as the European (H815) hardware wise, you could even flash .kdz and .tot files from the H815 to the H815P and it would work... So... There's no reason for them not to support unlocking, specially because it's not even any extra work for them, all they got to do is list all IMEI from LG G6 as supported, and the program that generates the unlock.bin file would generate it automatically...

Till this day, there is still a Petition (that I signed) for supporting unlocking of the bootloader for all the G4 or at least the H815p variant...

We should start one right now (in the beginning) for the G6!!

Anyone know that if the G6 brought from Amazon.de is unlockable and sim free? Want to buy one but I don't know if it works with foreign carrier[/QUOTE]

Hey Chaos, it's possible that it is unlockable, if its the H870 and European, but if I were you, I'd make a 100% sure that it is unlockable, by confirming that it is the H870 (Euro international) version... Because if it is a German version, despite Germany being Europe, you might get a similar message to mine, like "unfortunately your model H870 (German Version) is not supported... Many European versions weren't supported on the G4... Just the EURO INTERNATIONAL one... But many country variants were the same model H815.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lmiked:
So... This is what happens/appears when I try to unlock my bootloader through the LG dev site...

This does say H870 for the EUROPEAN market... I just don't get why the restriction...

I seriously hope there's either an alternative method, or that every single person that buys the non European version, complains and signs a petition... I seriously don't feel like selling my phone and buying a new one just for the purpose of unlocking the bootloader... Also it is just plain unfair and Stupid!!!

Yani diyorlarki ; Turkish translate ;

LGE her zaman, cihazımızı kullanırken müşteriye eşsiz bir deneyim sunmayı düşünüyor; bu nedenle, yazılımı cihazın maksimum potansiyelini vermek için donanıma mükemmel şekilde uyacak şekilde optimize ediyoruz ve G6 da bunun bir istisnası değil; Yazılımı değiştirmeniz veya önyükleyicinin kilidini açmanız gerekir.Önyükleme yükleyici kilidini yalnızca, yazılımın, garanti kaybına neden olan yetkisiz girişimi nedeniyle telefonun korunması içindir.

Let's say we read what we know. In this case, the answer to the company is in the nature; I say we take responsibility for it and ask them to open the preliminary lock in this direction. They seem to be lit. Say what ?

We could answer to that like this: "Well I don't care that you think LG has the software optimized for all it's smartphones, I bought this device, so it's mine, and I Want the bootloader unlocked, whether that is for installing a custom rom, rooting the device, customizing and tweaking and optimizing even more the software to my personal taste and style, it's my problem, as if I lose the warranty, is my problem as well, I already paid for the device, so it's mine and you have no right to restrict my use of it, and from installing any software I want, whether custom or official.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] evo4g63t:
Well in the US they can't deny warranty claims based on software modifications unless they can prove software mods caused hardware failure.

Essentially it's because of tards that go into modding their phone with no clue what they are doing then turning it in on a warranty claim because they "broke it".

It costs the manufacturers money to replace these phones, so from a profit stand point it makes perfect sense.

It sucks that the uneducated ruin it for the rest of us though. I think HTC is the only one that still allows unlocking the bootloader without much hassle.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lmiked:
But then... It would make more sense for them NOT to Unlock the bootloader on the US and Euro... Since most of the places they don't unlock in are 3rd World countries and slightly less developed countries, where usually there barely is any warranty at all (in 3rd world countries at least)...

Anyway, they could very well just Unlock for anyone​ who wants to with no problems, with a very simple DISCLAIMER LIKE:

"DEVICE COMES OPTIMIZED FROM FACTORY AND RUNS AS IT'S MEANT TO! UNLOCK BOOTLOADER AT OWN RISK! UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER WILL UNCONDITIONALLY VOID WARRANTY!!!"

That would be enough for me!!

The G4 I had in Lebanon was global model for Middle East and was unlockable, unless Middle East phones = Europan for LG like for HTC?

It means the H870 in Lebanon is unlockable? (it's H870 without any letters after 870)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lmiked:
Mine is H870 without any letters as well, but I was not able to unlock it... Because it is ZAF variant, that is SOUTH AFRICAN... Though I'm pretty sure everything is just like Europe hardware wise...

They control the unlocking by Device IMEI and Device ID... If you got Euro IMEI and ID, you can unlock... If not... You can't.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vegetaleb:
That's bad, I was interested by the G6 but root is important for me (audio mods, HTC apps ports)

So LG is being more strict with the G6 than G4 for unlock?
