What are actually trying to unlock and ask?

Why there are **** in the end?
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dksoni411:
Yes. Just download 20a kdz and flash simply through LGUP. Then follow root process.

anyone please answer it

will i lost the UNLOCKING (Modified by shopkeeper) if i FLASH another ROM?
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dksoni411:
What are you people trying to ask here?

Bootloader Unlock:

Bootloader can be locked and unlocked anytime you can to do so just by typing commands in fastboot mode. In T-Mobile G5 the fastboot mode do not accept flash command that's why we can only lock and unlock bootloader.

TWRP:

As commands are limited in fastboot mode of T-Mobile G5, we are unable to flash twrp through fastboot mode. So, for this process we rely vulnerability found in G5 firmware. The only currently found method for doing so is by using dirtycow exploit to flash TWRP on H830. Only V20a contains this vulnerability to do so.

Summary:

So to flash TWRP and enjoy freedom of using custom rom (Which I suppose you refer as Unlock to) you need to be on V20a. Which can be flashed easily through LGUP with Uppercut or use my LG FlashTool method (Link in FAQ section). When on V20a firmware simply use this or your preferred method for flashing TWRP.

If you want to go back to stock, simply flash any stock KDZ and lock bootloader. If you want to get TWRP again, simply unlock bootloader and flash V20a kdz (or flash V20a kdz and unlock bootloader) then instal TWRP by using the process.

Important:

Currently our stock firmwares are running Anti-Rollback (ARB 01), LG can increment this whenever they want, whenever LG increase ARB to 02 or upper then you won't be able to get back to ARB 01 firmwares (e.g V20a ) again. Which means you can unlock bootloader but won't be able to flash TWRP as dirtycow is patched after 20a. So you will lose the ability to flash TWRP which means unlocked bootloader is useless unless someone finds another method of flashing TWRP.

So, if you want to stay unlocked, then make sure to install TWRP as described above and flash latest TWRP flashable stock base zips or use other roms like Fulmics or AOSP based. It's very simple and easy .
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] M.Z.F:
so after reading your reply i got the following

1. if i am able to install TWRP & flashing any custom rom there is not threat to sim lock again on T-Moble

2. after 20a update there is no way to install TWRP (like i am using 20i)

M i right?

last thing if i install the official update of T mobile (i got an update in Pakistan) will my set be LOCKED again?
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dksoni411:
I also had a Tmobile G5 in Pakistan. I remember doing everything from flashing TWRP to using custom rom. I even used stock rom and took official ota updates and never faced any sim lock situation. However, I have seen some people reporting about losing sim unlock after updating or flashing custom rom. So, it depends upon the person the got phone from and how sim unlock was done.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] M.Z.F:
so any way to unlock sim via proper way?
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dksoni411:
If you bought phone from a local shop then simply try unlocking bootloader and rooting stuff. If there happens any problem regarding sim unlock then it's totally there fault to use temporary sim unlock and they will unlock again with permanent unlock. If you got it from other online retailers like ebay then you can use online sim unlocking site if your phone gets locked. However, I never used any service before so don't know which one is best or trusted. Below is something I heard in past from people.

Next is up to you. If you want to see then give it a try else use it as it is.

TWRP Flashing to Remove Encryption ... Error?

So first off - thanks for the tutorial and the assistance. This was the most difficult rooting/flashing process I've ever gone through with a phone but I've now gotten to the bootloader unlocked, TWRP installed, rooted stage. I have four G5's and I've tried this on two of them and they both seem to be stuck in the same place - can't successfully flash the latest LineageOS weekly.

I *think* the error is due to encryption and I've tried this process many times but still seems to be erroring out:

Note: For removing Encryption.

To flash a custom rom and remove encryption in twrp, you need to once format data in twrp else you won’t be able to wipe and install any custom rom in your phone.

b: In TWRP, cancel code Windows, Swipe to allow modification then

Click -->Wipe-->Format Data-->type “yes”-->enter.

You need to do this only once. After that you can flash roms and zips unlimited times.

Here's what I'm doing:

1. From OS, running the TWRP app

2. Choosing "Reboot" from the menu

3. Clicking on "Reboot Recovery"

4. Phone's successfully reboot into TWRP - v3.2.3-2

5. Per the instructions above go through the steps -->Wipe-->Format Data-->type “yes”-->enter.

6. Reboot into System OS (20a)

Everything *seems* to run just fine. However, when I complete the reboot and go through the first time setup of 20a and then go back to TWRP (turn phone off and manually enter TWRP) I can't install the latest LineagoOS nightly (I've tried the last three nightly's just to make sure I didn't have an issue downloading or anything).

Attached is the error ... "Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset.

Updater process ended with ERROR: 7

Error installing zip file 'sdcard/lineage-14.1-20180913-nightly-h830-signed.zip'"

Thanks in advance for the help
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dksoni411:
Just to be clear. Did you flash no-opt-encrypt or supersu zip in twrp after or before formatting data.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Antoniozbx:
I speak about sim unlock because the t-mobile app in the stock ROM unlock sim again
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mgreig:
Pretty sure I flashed no-opt-encrypt.zip AND supersu.zip in twrp before formatting data. If I hadn't flashed no-opt-encrypt.zip, once I rebooted back into the system OS, it would wipe out TWRP right?

I had to go through multiple steps, multiple times on both phones so I can't be 100% sure of the order any more but I'm pretty sure I:

1. Flashed TWRP

2. The script kept freezing/erroring out/not launching TWRP so after I finally installed TWRP, I manually executed no-opt-encrypt.zip (had copied it to the root folder before executing your script).

3. Then I either rebooted and installed supersu.zip or maybe I ran it first before rebooting? ... on one phone I haven't re-installed supersu.zip yet.

QUESTIONS:

1. I don't have to have root to flash a custom ROM (LineageOS) - correct? If I have an unlocked bootloader and persistent TWRP (meaning I've installed no-opt-encrypt.zip correctly) - I can flash a custom ROM at that point?

2. Root access via supersu.zip is only relevant when I'm in the system OS - correct?

Thanks a ton
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mrw187:
The red one I got off ebay sold as new has black side buttons not red buttons...

And although the red backing does have texture it has a little bit of flex if I push around the Motorola logo on the back...

Is the slight flexing normal and is it normal for the red model to sometimes come with black buttons not red?

And there was no Verizon SIM in the phone or box either. If the package was truly retail sealed then it would still have the SIM in it right mentioned in the package contents on the retail box?

I'm thinking these chinese are bull****ting me saying its sealed new but its refurbed and they just attach their own stickers to make it seem sealed/new.

Am I just being paranoid or is there any substance to it? Is there any software method that could tell a refurbed model?

Thanks.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zhaoyun:
I am certainly not an expert but I agree with you that it does not appear to be a new and unused one. SIM card detached from phone is not unusual, so can't tell just because of no SIM card.

I am not sure if Motorola/Verizon sell officially refurbished one, assuming they don't, you may check if the bootloader is unlocked. If yes, it would very likely be non-new one, as they do not unlock bootloaders. Otherwise, you may also check the version of android and ask the seller about when they get the handset. See if the dates match chronologically.

I am sorry that I do not have any more technical way to test. If I were you, I would ask for refund anyway if still can. Basically you cannot expect a new and unused one now, but you still can buy a used one much cheaper.

Oh, I am chinese too. No offense. :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
I agree that it's not very likely there's any new/unused Droid Turbos out there in the wild. I mean, when the official model year was over and the Droid Turbo 2 (Kinzie) came out in late 2015 (the successor to Quark, which was a big disappointment -- smaller battery? still no rear camera OIS? Still no stereo speakers?) Verizon kept selling them for awhile, but in this is now 2017. If there were any stashes of unused Droid Turbos that were returned and then sold off to 3rd party wholesalers I'm sure they've been sold by now.

For example, the U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 -- which is an exact clone of the Droid Turbo, event the exact same FCC ID and radio bands -- was sold by online discount wholesaler Jet for several weeks last year. (basically the "dev" version of the Droid Turbo with easily unlocked bootloader.) These were obviously from stock returned by the regional CDMA/LTE carriers who were selling the same phone as the Droid Turbo under another name. But now, you can't find any of those.

I still have a brand new Moto Maxx XT1225 in the box, my 3rd one I bought last spring (March/April 2015) new off eBay as a "backup" to my other two we use daily (which I bought in November and December 2014). But you can't find those any more either. Which is why I bought it when I did. ;) Now, if I sell that 3rd one at some point before I ever have to use it, that one will still be NEW -- but then I'm not an eBay dealer promising many of these phones brand new. I think at this point in time (April 2017) there's none out there like that.

---------- Post added at 09:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

I think you basically paid for a "mint" refurbished Droid Turbo. How much did you pay and is it worth that to you for a professionally refurbished phone with no scratches, etc? Your alternative is to buy used off eBay/Swappa in various states of mis-use.

The three Quarks I own (XT1225, the "international" variant of the Droid Turbo with 64GB memory only) are ballistic nylon + kevlar, and there is no flexing. However, yours is Kevlar-only, if it's red. (All the ballistic nylon + kevlar Quarks were either black or blue.) The Kevlar-only are thinner than the ballistic nylon + kevlar -- which is why they have TWO different case sizes for the Quarks. Maybe the Kevlar-only ones have some flexing? Put a case on it, you won't notice.

Even though mine are the thicker Ballistic Nylon + Kevlar, I still keep cases on the two Quarks we use daily (to keep them as mint as possible). Mine is a Diztronics TPU absorption case. My wife's has a "hard shell" red plastic case she's busted TWICE by dropping her phone. This last time it happened I ordered a dozen of them (like $1 each) off some website, so if she keeps doing that I've got replacements. :rolleyes: Plus, who knows how long they're going to keep selling cases for the ballistic nylon + kevlar Quarks? (which are different size from the kevlar-only backed Quarks.) Point is, that's corner drop impacts the case took instead of the phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zhaoyun:
I don't mean to hijack this post, but would you share your plan on how much longer you intend to continue to use droid turbo? I am kinda paranoid on battery and this is quite the reason I chose droid turbo. I got mine which claimed to be brand new in June 2015 from a third party. The battery still looks good approaching two years of use and I can project its life for another year. As I live in Hong Kong and no one knows droid turbo, even if I can get a new battery online, I do not believe anyone including me have the ability to open the case and change the battery for me. I viewed videos from youtube and I admit that opening the case without damaging it is difficult.

It is a pity that while the spec is still not inferior as compared to the "flagships" today, we are unable to extend its life for long due to the battery. In fact, the hardware development in the recent couple of years is rather stagnant that when you buy a phone, you are just paying for a new battery for a phone with pretty much the same spec. I really wish to have some ideas on how I can make the life of my droid turbo longer.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mrw187:
I paid $175USD.

also paid the $25 for sunshine.

Haven't had any problems apart from the phone getting a little hot after some tetris blitzing but that game did it to my flex 2 as well

and I'm quite enjoying the Open Kang 7.1

I can thrash the phone all day and I only need to charge it once or twice every 2 days

I guess I can't complain too much as long as it doesn't explode or cease to function...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zhaoyun:
It is operating quite well. Mine also gets very hot while playing games, but its already less hot after upgrading the marshmallow. All I can advise is enjoy the phone as it is, and just don't leave it unattended while charging.

Some (dumm) questions to clarify...

Hey,

i was following the discussion in the other thread - also a big thanks from my side and a really cool!

Questions:

1) I don´t really get the comment to the multi touch problem. Yes there is a link but do i need to actively flash something after installing latest build? Or does it mean there is a work around integrated with the last build with the specific code from the link.

So: Yes - you still need to flash something for multiply touch support OR No - all is good for now just flash it!

2) Sorry, just want to be sure - Google Apps: ARM64 Version right?

Yes right ARM64 / No, its wrong

3) If it happens that there will be also a official Linage OS buid, can i just flash it than without wipe/reset the phone or do i have to install it new? I know we cant say it jet but:

A) You will need to wipe - for sure!

B) Likely you will not need to wipe.

C) It is absolutly open and nobody has a Glas-Ball to find out jet, so 50/50

4) What is "Live Display is software inly" - i could not find out what is meant with "Live Display" via Google excatly. Sorry if it is a dumm question.

Thanks so much for making this development possible. Hope my questions are not too dumm ones and fast and easy to answer.

Hey there!

Everything works as expected (camera bug is still there - as expected), the rest is flawless.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Please (I keep requesting this), could you (or somebody else contributing to the build) add the hardware button switching option (using the already working script from [MENTION=2198356]ru1dev[/MENTION]) ? It would be great to have it embedded in the ROM. I am sure many people want to use the Nexus/Pixel/Stock navigation experience (back, home, recents button order).

There seems to be a "bug" in all these builds: Pixel icons (from Open Gapps) don't seem to work (they do in other ROMs based on [MENTION=5594486]xiaobai112220[/MENTION] 's sourcetree). Maybe I'm just doing something wrong... don't know - but I can live with that.

Thanks a bunch! Keep up the good work!

I did a wipe before i installed the ROM but not after.

It should make no difference to clear the old "files" from the previously ROM before or after flashing the system partition, right? I might be wrong though...

I have a mi5s and i'm really attracted to this rom, but before i flash i have a some questions , in you can answer me:

1- what is battery duration? (with miui 8 Global beta i do almost 3h of display)

2- How much fingerprint bug appear? ( i use it so much)

3 -How much often the rom is updated? And updates are OTA?

Thanks in advice
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] KopiJahe:
1. I have 3-4 hours SOT consistently with this ROM

2. My fingerprint works normally, but sometimes the home button is recognized as fingerprint, so I need to long press it once and press it again to fix it

3. As often as it needs and whether the dev have the time or not to do the update. No OTA yet as far as I know...
