[General Questions and Answers] tgrantjr:
Thanks for reading this and trying to help me out. Our fire dept uses a galaxy tab 2 10.1 to view our responding firefighters and location of call. So in other words it is kinda important. It is a model sch-I915 (verizon).

Here is what is going on.

It shut itself down and went into a boot loop. I tried to throw it into recovery to wipe everything and it just goes to the android with the ball spinning for a second and reboots itself. Me being an IT guy have tried to fix it with various resources (odin and kies). Neither will work. It will boot into download mode and that is it. I tried with odin to flash the recovery back and see if that was the issue, but alas it errors out. the download mode screen shows

Product:

Custom Binary no

Current binary Samsung official

System Status Official

Qualcomm Secureboot: enable (of course)

Bootloader ap swrev: 1

I am at a loss here. We really dont have a few hundred to throw at a new tablet due to being a small department. I really cant even shut it off because it wont let me. If anyone has any ideas on how this can possibly be fixed please let me know. I would be deeply appreciative. Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Staplehand:
There aren't many new topics on this model so here we go,

My z3 stock came with 5.0.1 and as far as i know never (the 6616) had the 4.4 as an option. SO downgrading didn't work, so i'm stuck trying to root this with 5.0.1 and after two days of browsing this site there really doesn't seem to be a way to do so. Eventually i said $%#* it and rooted it using kingroot but after rooting it, root checker passed the root but would not give proper access when installing root apps such as busybox and the ta backup tool.

So i didn't realize that the keys ive been trying to save are useless anyways if i update android and the main reason for me going through this is i really don't like 5.0.1. Only thing i haven't really looked into doing is seeing if kingroot will let me unlock the bootloader then trying to flash an update. SO has anyone successfully updated a 6616 z3 (to 6) who didn't start off with 4.4?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] ZVNexus:
I went to the Mega-Unbrick guide, followed it, device manager said Qualcomm 9008, used the mini installer and it appeared to work. Turned it on, boot logo all distorted, and and immediately shuts on and off. Tried to turn it back off to try the full mode, but in device manager it now shows Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E. (COM3)

I have tried everything to get drivers to work, and I got it to show as QS_HLK or something like that for a split second but then went to 900E again.

Googled it, still can't find solutions. Halp. :(

Tried to flash TWRP on Open Beta. Worked. Tried to flash Magisk. It then started to flash on and off until hard turned off. Proceeded to follow unbrick guide, then it switched to 900E. Fixed it by putting it in Qualcomm mode. Flashed full version. Screen was still distorted, but managed to get it into recovery to sideload the newest open beta. Fixed it, runnin all good now :) Sorry for wasted time. Leaving what happened to me instead of just saying I fixed it for future generations ^_^

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mr turtle droid:
I'm making this thread to update the progress towards root and such for the T-MOBILE LG v30

So far what I have gathered is that like the LG G6 the fastboot commands have been removed

There is in fact one fastboot commands still active and that's fastboot flash all,my proposal is that we modify a otas boot.img and root the boot.img then flash that ota package.

As per request here is the stock kdz:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620768916

I don't know anything about development just throwing a idea out there

Since people can't read correctly this for the T-MOBILE Variant..you know the only one that's locked down?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
This is not correct at 100%.

Internal variant have the possibility to unlock the locked commands by flashings the unlock bin file provided by LG, but normally they have locked adb/fastboot commands too.

This is not meant to discuss, but just to add some more precise informations, since I've unlocked both G5 and G6, and I'll probably get a V30 =)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
EDIT: the OP has now edited the thread topic at my suggestion to clarify he's only interested in the the T-Mobile LG V30. Initially it was for ALL LG V30 and his initial post thus had misinformation, which he's now corrected.

___________

Yes it is correct. The dev-friendly official carrier unlocked models have bootloader unlock on request by going to the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock page. They have full ADB flash commands after unlocking the bootloader.

You only quoted one sentence of what I wrote. I clearly mentioned the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock site several times and even included links to it.

My point is he's lumping ALL the LG V30 into one box, and some of the models will be dev friendly with capability of full ADB flash commands. Those will have root, ROMs, TWRP within a week of being placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list. It's only the CARRIER BRANDED models which are crippled.

The op should edit the title to specify carrier-branded LG V30, if that's what he really intends to discuss.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Sorry, my bad for not having read all the post :D
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mr turtle droid:
Ok well I fixed the thread so you can leave now with your negativity
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
There's no negativity. Just stating the discussion should be limited to a subset of the LG V30 models -- the ADB crippled carrier branded models. And in reality, it seems you are REALLY only discussing ONE specific model of that subset -- the T-Mobile LG V30?

Because all the other carrier-branded models would additionally need an exploit to crack the bootloader, once you solve the root/TWRP problems on the T-Mobile model.

Initially you said "fastboot commands have been removed" from the LG V30 -- and that's ONLY verified true of the T-mobile model. Yes, we assume it's true of the other carrier branded models, but you would have to crack the bootloaders of those models to verify. However, that statement is NOT true of the official carrier unlocked models (North America US998, European H930), as they will be placed on the

LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list

and will quickly have root, TWRP, ROMs, kernels, etc -- just like their LG G6 counterparts.

You've now edited the initial post to clarify, which is good and will no longer confuse people. You probably were thinking about the T-mobile LG V30 when you created this thread, but this forum is for ALL LG V30 models, not just T-mobile. If you want to discuss only T-mobile LG V30, you need to clearly state that. Now you have.

I wish you all the luck and success.

Isn't this similar to how the G5 was rooted
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] R800x_user:
Man rooting a tmobile v30 is going to be tough but i was looking at the build.prop just to look at things. The prop denies root obviously enough but now to figure out ways to get some partitions to mount as rw. :eek: which will take the longest time to figure out. Plus there is no way to recover the phone in case of a brick at this time. Sheesh should have listened to chazzmat.

Ps I didnt know it had a bootloader unlock count until I "unlocked my bootloader". You can relock it but it shows the number of times you have unlocked it. There goes my warranty :rolleyes:

I hard bricked my Z2 Force about a week ago cause it was stuck in download mode bootloop and they didn't check anything cause they couldn't. The screen wouldn't even turn on. I warranty exchanged it and jumped it to the V30.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Totally agree with you. And even in my experience, the only ones who care at all are the Samsung and Sammy repair shops. I've sent so many rooted devices in as trades/jumps, s-0ff etc.

Yet my touchscreen stopped responding to touches on my S5 and the Samsung repair shop near me wouldn't fix it because it was 0x4 . Cause you know, that totally affects hardware :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 04:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 AM ----------

As soon as it reaches the trade in, which I think is assurion now, they aren't allowed to even boot it up without flashing it anyway. They have the OEM flash tools so they would just deep mode flash it and not even notice a difference. Also, any SD cards and Sims that come in with the phone are immediately shredded too.

However, they sure as hell can find a pinhole drop of water on the board and charge your ass for it ?

Is their a slight chance we could get official bootloader unlock support for the v30 TMobile eventually...?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Our bootloader is already unlockable. The problem is that we're missing fastboot commands allowing us to flash custom recovery.

Had a few minutes to read through the thread and Yes, new LG devices do have the counter kinda like samsung knox, pretty much like a flash counter

I did fastboot oem unlock day one of the phone and found out of the counter, was the 1st one to walk out if the store with the T-mobile h932 the Wednesday after the Friday of release in Kansas City when the store just received the first batch, thats were lg once phone is on list needing IMEI to send you unlock code to keep track in system to void warranties

I wish I had more time to test, we could possibly have root, thinking it has to be done by firmware(kdz) same with twrp at this point till exploit is found and dont think it will be happening soon looking at the G6

Main man J stated swapping recovery to boot partition on another variant due to stock recovery rewriting custom on recovery partition, making phone boot to recovery first then having to select system to boot

I might save your time instead of returning to T-mobile, if you find your phone might be in DEMO MODE state , by turning on you Developer option and turn off the DEMO Mode and do factory data reset you might get the Normal Firmware.

and I have question , how about if we send command of "Fastboot flashing unlock_critical" instead of "Fastboot oem unlock" any and also send command "Fastboot flashing unlock" .

I sent command "fastboot oem device-id" but was failed as I haven't unlocked it yet obviously.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] R800x_user:
That command will do the same thing as oem unlock and will wipe the device. I did that to my v30. Just triggers the flash counter I suppose. No other commands will work.

I have a theory in possibly gaining root but it would probably require reverse engineering the hidden menu.apk. since there is a section that allows you to change the flashing state. Which I assume needs root privileges to toggle it? Any thoughts on this?

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] techlogik:
According to LG's site, only the EU model will be bootloader unlockable right? Sounds like Samsung nonsense. So the LG V30+ US998U won't be bootloader unlockable it seems, so root will likely break SafetyNet like Samsung, and other issues?

And don't say you don't see it on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list yet. That just means you have read enough yet. ;)

Took three weeks for the European H930. It's not been three weeks yet for the carrier unlocked US998. The only question is whether LG will add it by Christmas or wait until after the V30+ model is released.

SO, I just ordered the LG V30+ US998U carrier unlocked from B&H. It will be here next week.

I have read the first few posts in this thread. I saw some comments about no bootloader unlock and missing fastboot commands on carrier locked models, and speculation that the carrier unlocked versions *should* get added to LGs list for unlockable bootloaders, and should (do?) have a full set of fastboot commands available.

Do we have any confirmation yet that anyone has been able to unlock the bootloader on the carrier unlocked versions of the V30 and V30+?

Without unlocked bootloader, do we have a process to root?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You're sort of in the wrong thread. ;) This thread is for the T-Mobile H932.

YES, the open market LG US998 will receive bootloader unlock and root, just like the Europe H930.

Read post #2 of this thread, which was written before the op made it clear he only wanted to discuss the T-Mobile H932. Short version: we'll unlock the US998 AFTER LG places it on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list, which will probably happen in the next few weeks. Took three weeks for Europe H930, but took SIX WEEKS for LG G6 US997.
