Just putting it out there, i still have an h87210I ,,, that doesnt have service with Tf-nMo ,,, thats just making me itch to try something dev wise, if you have any idea of something to flash or try anything with it. let me know.

I know I should be patient for a few weeks until oreo,, however, I dont have faith much will change after that even.

Any ideas ???,,, I rooted my first 5 phones ,, Then i got stuck with this then a kindle 8hd 7th, thats the only one that cant be rooted, .. then my daily is an htc 10 that that has to be sent away and pay 25 bucks to root it..

So I`m in a slump and no devices to play with.. any suggestions or ideas i'm up for....

Reach me at kevin@Kevinsemail.net or kjchris67@gmail.com

Peace all.

Oem unlock on dev options

I have found that my LG G6 (TMobile) has the OEM unlock option in Developer options. Does that help us with anything. I don't know much about it the dev part of rooting but doesn't unlocking the OEM enables us to work with the bootloader etc. ?

Probably same TWRP the already rooted LG G6 models use? Those have been rooted since June 2017. And they have several custom ROMs.

If those don't work immediately on T-Mobile LG G6, they can within a day with some dev tweaking.

(this is a truncated re-post from a similar thread)

i've been waiting 1+ year gaining root access to this phone.. i've decided to move on... can someone please recommend a comparable device ($200-$400) that's easy to root?

i have my eye on the more economic "xiaomi redmi 5" or the higher end "Google Pixel".. i just need close as possible to the H872 but with root privs.

thanks in advance for any input!

LG V30 is easy to root.

You can buy mint LG V30+ on ebay for $325. I just bought two more.

Use Frankenstein method to convert any North America variant (except H932) to US998 (if it's not already US998), then easily unlock bootloader, install TWRP and root.

WTF V30/V30+/V30S Bootloader Unlock and Root (MOST VARIANTS)

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76584629&postcount=193

It only does NOT work on T-mobile H932. But works on EVERY OTHER LG V30/V30+ on the planet. US998 is the carrier unlocked model and has coverage for all the carriers.
[T-Mobile LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] christopherrrg:
May decide to go that route myself. Frankenstein'ing the H873 phone with H870 isn't playing out as I had hoped. (May just be using the wrong tool.) I'll be waiting for lafsploit for the G6 but I think you guys are right. The V30 looking like the better decision all around. Shame this G6 couldn't have been bigger when it was released.

Is the LGUP in your thread what I should be using? I don't got the dev options and when I attempt a cross flash it says invalid not for H873
[T-Mobile LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Be very careful with T-Mobile LG variants. The T-Mobile V30 has different RSA encryption than the other North America variants and possibly the T-Mobile LG G6 has that also.

[MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION]?

The LG T-Mobile V30 H932 variant is basically locked down and radioactive.

Whereas all the others for North America (and even Puerto Rico) -- Sprint LS998 AT&T H931, Verizon VS996, Canada H933, regional AS998 -- can all cross flash with each other.

Same with the European/Mideast/Asia/Pacific variants. They can all cross flash with each other.

And now we found HUGE LG Oreo bootloader unlock exploit. But you just need to be on North America US998 or European H930. Which is EASY, except for the locked down radioactive T-Mobile H932 V30...

[T-Mobile LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] christopherrrg:
In my case I've got the Canadian LG G6 H873 and T mobile is H872.

All we have for the G6 so far is EU unlocked oreo kdz. Probably best if I wait for the US997 version. I assumed H870 EU would have been fine but after reading your frankenstein thread repeatedly over and over I think it's best if I wait. I can probably cross flash it but I just wanna avoid the 9008 brick.
[T-Mobile LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] RLCircuit:
Freeloading off your explanation (sorry!) to ask:

Could the H872PR be cross-flashable with other G6 kdz files? I've been holding off on trying it out because I have no backup plan if my phone gets bricked. I know your explanation covers the scope of V30 models but it doesn't hurt to try!

[T-Mobile LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MetroWestMA:
Hi Everyone -- regarding a good phone to move to if you want root, I bought a OnePlus 6 for use on TMobile in August 2018 and never looked back.

OnePlus comes out with security patches almost as quick as Google and they support people rooting their phone, and their Oxygen OS is very close to vanilla Android (very little bloat). Lots of developers supporting custom ROMS, mods, etc.

I did root my LG G6 997 right before I switched and it is running Oreo -- I just pulled it out of the drawer to figure out what to do with it... If someone is looking for a rooted 997 pre-installed with Oreo and TWRP PM me and maybe we can work something out...

[T-Mobile LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funisillegal:
What were you thinking about working something out. I'll go thru my line up if your willing to make a trade. I've been getting into development and want to getting familiar with different manufactures and I just purchased a new LG G6 but the LS993 and that model has no root.

Pixel 2XL - Perfect Shape. Ordered 3XL today so willing to part with this one,

Moto Turbo 2 - same great shape spec wise still out performs half of the phones coming out this year is why I kept it.

LG Q7+ - Phone is new and unlocked for any carrier originally from TMobile. No Root Available

ZTE Blade Xmax - great shape nothing special just a big ass screen

Moto G6 Play - Rooted with Pie loaded up.

MOTO Z2 Force with JBL Moto Mod and Power Bank

Those two above I replaced them with Moto Z3 and Moto G7 so that's why have no need for last year's models.

Moto Droid Maxx and Droid Turbo.

Samsung Note 7 - Rooted and doesn't catch on fire but also can't use it with any carrier because of that same issue. Screen does have a small crack.

Samsung Note 8 perfect shape currently use the 9 so that's why don't need 8.

And a Samsung S5 and S7 Edge.

I just decided to getting rid of them today instead and get rid of this hoarding collection of phones. I've been looking to pick up a LG G7 or V35/ to replace G6 but til then i can use a root G6

Let me know and if anyone else is interested I'll let them go cheap for what's listed above. Cheaper then swappa

Bringing by an update.

We have the majority of what is needed to flash figured out. We're in the process of building a tool from the ground up with the fine-tuned and in depth features that are needed and the usability for a wider audience.

It's not really a matter of if it's possible to flash.

We have a private repo set up and already made the first steps. The repo was set up last night. We have the code and the functions figured out. I started on fully documenting today as well as setting up milestones.
