[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Manisshyaddvv:
Hey guys please help me,

Last time i installed stock on my moto g5 plus after that I can't able to unlock bootloader and not able to install recovery on my device.

And when i tried to do that it shows

Plot suffix not found

Solve my problem i want a custom rom on my device.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
Slot Suffix not found is normal, that's because TWRP is checking for another slot like in Pixel or other A/B devices.

About your other problem you have to provide more information, which stock ROM version did you flash and from which version did you come?

Maybe you downgraded your bootloader?

Have you been on any 64bit custom ROM? If yes which one?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
In addition to wolfcity's useful post, have you unlocked this device's bootloader in the past? If so, then what happens if you try to unlock with your unlock key as given to you by Motorola?

If your key no longer works, and OEM unlocking (under Settings>Developer Options) is turned on, then you may have to request help from the official Motorola forums: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/MOTOROLA-Android-Developer/Bootloader-Unlock-Problems/td-p/3222809

If you have not unlocked this device bootloader, then have you obtained the OEM unlock code and submitted that code to Motorola as per this tool? https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a

Please help me

Help me,

POTTER_NPN25.137-35 this was the stock rom version i used.

And today camera is stopped working,

What should i do now

I've to flash stock again help me
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Looks like you flashed a ROM meant for US devices onto your Indian device... Also, NPN25.137-35 is a really old firmware (March 2017) and Moto devices sometimes do not work well if you've flashed an older firmware to your device.

I'd recommend flashing the NPNS25.137-92-10 (April 2018 security patch) or NPNS25.137-92-14 (June 2018 security patch) firmware onto your device. I'd also recommend flashing with wiping your userdata, as I don't know what's causing this; with a data wipe, you will want to back up your data if possible. Copy your essential files to a computer/cloud storage and hopefully have your contacts backed up. You could use MyPhoneExplorer to back up your contacts, text messages and call log.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
Not much to add to echo92's post, a full wipe and flashing one of the mentioned firmwares is exactly what you should do.

For the case that you have downgraded your bootloader in the past I would recommend to not take future OTA as this could hardbrick your device.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Manisshyaddvv:
How could i unlock bootloader

Tell me the full process of unlocking bootloader and flashing stock,

And please give me the link for firmware,

And what if again it shows slot suffix not found???

How to unlock bootloader in moto g5 plus

How could i unlock bootloader when lenovo is not sending me the key and also "Slot suffix is not found" is a big problem for me,

And also send me the link of firmware which i should use,

Please help me.

I'm waiting for your response

My device is totally in bad condition camera is not working and file explorer is not opening either,

So please help me

Which firmware and full process how to?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
Here you'll find the firmware

https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/potter/official/RETAIL/

Use NPNS25.137-92-10 (April 2018 security patch) or NPNS25.137-92-14 (June 2018 security patch.

As I told you before the "slot suffix not found" message is

normal and no problem.

It just tells you that your device has only one update slot and not two like Pixel or some Xiaomi devices.

And about the unlock key: Have you tried to get one like echo92 posted? Have you tried to use the

fastboot oem unlock command?

Here you find a complete guide for rooting your device, the first part is only about flashing stock firmware. Just follow the first part of this guide but use the above firmware.

https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/how-to/how-to-root-moto-g5-plus-t3579659/post74673573
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
As Wolfcity has mentioned above, the slot suffix is normal for our devices as we don't have A/B partitioning. To illustrate, if I boot my G4 Plus to fastboot and then issue the command 'fastboot reboot' from ADB, using minimal ADB 1.4.3 and the Motorola USB drivers, on Windows 10 64 bit, this is the output:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot reboot
(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
rebooting...

finished. total time: 0.176s

Also, as I asked you in your PM, have you actually posted to that Motorola thread? Once AlphaDog or one of the moderators sees your post in that thread, they should start the process for getting you an unlock key, or at least advise you on what to do next. I do not know if posting outside of that Motorola thread will get you results.

Hi, I have just got 2 Atmos's for people in the office and would ideally like to put 6.1 on them, but as this does not look like it is possible (yet) I would like to put the HTC home on them as they make the phone much better than the standard O2 home screen.

I have searched in this forum but all i can find are the XML files, does anyone have an installer for the entire thing?

can you sen me the o2 rom , or the o2 home screen

Hmm, that's strange. The weather works perfectly on mine, never once had an issue with it. I'll have a play tonight and see if I can somehow replicate the problem you're having.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Chalanadejager:
Hi!

I've got an Samsung Galaxy S7 since 2017.

Due to an app i wanted to use i tried to Root my phone. It did work but not all apps worked properly so i tried to unroot it.

As it did seem to work but i was still a bit sceptic i decided to do a factory reset to completely empty it.

While doing the factory reset my phone crashed... also found out that i didn't have my OEM allowance on so i can't even enter my phone anymore as it says Custom binary locked by FRP Lock.

I emptied the data / cache and tried to factory reset but it wouldn't do anything.

I tried flashing my phone with the samsung firmware for the S7 with odin, BUT my phone doesn't respond at all.

it just keeps standing on Downloading... do not turn off target. Even if Odin tries to write onto the phone nothing happens, even tho the downloader should respond. Tried different Cables as well. As of now i have no idea what to do left to get in there. i tried for hours, tried different firmwares, but nothing responds... Anyone having tips for me?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] RichyE:
When you tried with oden where you in download mode or still on the boot screen with the lock message?

You can't flash if your not in download mode.

to get in download you shoud normally by pressing the Volume Down, Home and Pose On/Off button together for about 3-4 seconds.

Once the Download screen appears, press Volume Up button to continue.

you could give this a try

Press the Power On/Off button and Volume Down button simultaneously for 5-7 seconds as shown below.

Wait for the phone to reboot and start again normally.

See that the Custom Binary Block error message does not pop-up this time.

if not then you could try .

Another useful way to bypass/remove the FRP Lock error is to perform a factory reset on your phone. This can be implemented by booting into the Recovery Mode. To do so:

Long press the Power On/Off, Home and Volume Up button together and was for a screen with multiple options appear before you.

Now use the Volume Down key to scroll down and select “Wipe Data/Factory Reset” using the Power On/Off button as shown in the screenshot below.

Wait patiently for the process to get over and for your phone to restart normally.

Note: you will lose all your data and setting stored in the phone after performing a factory/ hard reset.

Be prepared to set-up your phone from scratch after the process is over.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Chalanadejager:
It was already in download mode. i can get into download mode, it just doesn't respond when i try with Odin.

The 2nd doesn't work somehow.. the lock still appears unfortunatly...

And did multiple times wipe data / factory reset but nothing...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AidenM:
I was actually just messing with this the other day on my H918. You mentioned that the SIM Unlock app checks for an unlocked bootloader, but that's not what I found in my experience - I couldn't unlock my device when I flashed 10u + Magisk with TWRP, but a clean wipe and reflash of 10u without any kind of root (but still retaining bootloader unlock + TWRP on recovery partition) allowed me to unlock the device, which I confirmed with a different SIM card.

After unlocking my device, I thought it was permanent (since I selected that option in the app) so I went ahead and flashed Lineage with TWRP, which made me lose the unlock. I suppose this more speaks to the ability of Lineage to read/use the TZ, as opposed to wiping the data since presumably neither TWRP nor Lineage have access to it.

What is exactly your goal for this? Unlocking devices that don't get the thumbs-up from T-Mobile?

Great write-up as usual.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
Thanks for the heads up about reflashing 10u, but keeping your bootloader unlocked. I only did an uninstall, so I am guessing something was hanging around that was being detected. Glad I don't have to lock my bootloader to do some tests.

As for you losing the unlock when you flashed Lineage -- that is because it uses the certs that are in the stock ROM (pretty sure it is the same as what is used to verify OTA updates -- but not 100% yet). If that is the case, then you should be able to copy them over to your Lineage install, and the modem will be able to verify the signature of the key that is stored in SFS.

The first step would be to verify that the key is still IN SFS after you flash a non-stock ROM (the modem may delete it from SFS if it can't verify the signature using the public cert). You would have to flash back to stock and check to see if you are still unlocked. If so, then it is just a matter of copying over the appropriate cert to the correct location on the Lineage system image.

Yes, I want to be able to unlock phones that are eligible to be unlocked, but T-Mobile won't do it because you don't have an account with them. I bought an H910 off of eBay, and it was locked. I had verified that the IMEI was clean before buying it. All I had to do was take the phone into an AT&T store, they checked that the IMEI was clean and submitted a ticket. Two days later, I received an unlock code via email.

This is irking the crap out of me that T-Mobile won't do the same thing. It would be VERY easy for them to add the ability for their customer service reps to verify the eligibility and add the IMEI to the unlock site, but NOOOO they want you to have an account to unlock the phone -- that makes no sense. You want to unlock your phone so you can use it on ANOTHER carrier.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stallio:
Brian I can understand that it seems very difficult but I want to give you example of Microsoft Outlook linked with company portal, it was so damn tough to crack everytime it was failed and was also considered impossible, it also sends keys and signatures to server to check root and other stuff even magisk hide wasn't doing anything but it was finally cracked here in XDA and works fine since then, the development was somewhat stopped untill I and few others started to seek help.

One more thing apart from root and all that jazz, let's talk some business stuff. Many times when carriers are left with lots of phones in stock which includes new phones, returned phones etc T Mobile or other carrier don't care to unlock them and are sold in mass when some phones create problem even after network unlocked by either Carrier or seller T Mobile or Verizon etc won't entertain you concerns. See my expample the phone is checked with T Mobile, it's clean, is not reported lost, missing or stolen, no unpaid dues but still T Mobile is not ready to help, and calling USA is quite expensive.

I really have seen those octopus box miracle box unlocking flagship phones even though I am not challenging your belief of 'it can't be unlocked'

Why XDA should focus on carrier unlock is we know how evil

Service provider can become, also these unlock services when paid online they mostly run away with your money or simply you'll have to face their attitude, and if you visit a shop to get it done trust me their attitude is nothing less than a crack seller which really really pisses me off. (please I am not putting every phone repairer in this category).

Another reason to do more research is huge ask amount for unlocking some times $100+, prices are not at all regulated, shady bussiness practices "AND" IF reoccured you will have to pay again.

A rare scenario in which while rooting phone, phone frequency is disturbed and similar situation occurs like carrier unlock and you can't make calls, so if we can have carrier unlock feature it will give more power to people and that what I think XDA is all about.

I hope community will not be prejudiced in finding the solution

Thank you.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stallio:
Your issue resonates mine, my phone when I brought from ebay LGV20 H918 was working with all other sim but when I downgraded it and try to root it got network locked.

My problem is that Octoplus engineer told me I have to clean flash the stock ROM (J version) again the way it should be and then root and then try to unlock with octoPlus suite with purchased server credit, when I tried to reflash the Stock ROM I found that I don't have download mode i.e. the stock recovery which is used by LGUP Tool to flash stock ROM so that's why I was roaming around forum to forum to guide me through steps on how to extract & what to extract from KDZ file to compile a stock recovery image 'WHICH I assume will bring back my stock recovery as I watched OnePlus video in which a guy simply flashed Stock Recovery image through Flashify app and he got the stock recovery back..... (I don't know if that will apply to LGV20 H918).

Is there any other tool which can flash stock ROM and brings back stock recovery.

Could you assist me with noob friendly steps on how you got your phone unlocked.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Well I was in the T-Mobile store when the S5 had just came out. A guy walked in, said he would pay cash up front. Then asked how long it takes to unlock. ( He did not have a T-Mobile account, told them he was with ATT) He was told 3 months.

I guess the policy changed? Or is it depending on who you talk to?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] t436h05t:
The only thing that comes to mind would to be dump the message that is sent from a working phone. Preforming a MITM attack is mitigated but the RSA key so you need a way to get message before encryption. I dont own a V20 but I'm assuming this is a system application which means you cannot just change the apk signature and even if you could the signature could be used in checks before it sends data to the server. What I would want to do check the RSA, see if change with every attempt or device or is it static(if reused could be used to decode other messages). The other thing to possibly check is has the device been patched for the Janus vulnerability (CVE-2017-13156). This way maybe you can install a modded apk in a unrooted phone to dump the message to logcat before RSA then compare this your own messages.

Possible PoC

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stallio:
Hi Brian, I have searched length and breadth of forum and I hope that this can be done but info are scattered too much, some members mentioned and you were also part of recent discussions that such things also occurs while rooting, this is what happened with me, meanwhile I got in touch with my seller and he told me that is was unlocked, there is no lie into it as I was able to make calls, as phone came with P or Q update so as per forum I had to downgrade then it can be rooted. While rooting I observed I have lost the ability to make calls and got network locked, rest story I have narrated how I took it to shop and all that jazz.......

Now what I am really focusing atleast is that I can flash stock in absence of Download mode and damnit I can't find it, here I urge the community to make it only a bit lucid on how to perform so I can further do the steps, it will be helpful for all as this can happen to anyone.

Further-more apart from this topic I am going to file a charge back with paypal for Octopus as they didn't helped me at all even after charging $30 the support really sucks AND AND AND they in chat explicitly wrote that they don't provide services for LG products whereas their software suite had my model, their sales rep in chat suggested that product (software suite here with $30 server credit)

Trust me this whole rooting and network unlock thing will very soon become "DIY ONLY" thing as manufacturer will make phones so hard to root and unlock that any professional will ask money equal to the phone and it is happening I have heard stories that tech support asked for $100+ dollars .

Hope I am making sense here.

Thanks.

I know someone in China shenzhen now can easy SIM-unlock T-mobile LG phones or T-mobile Samsung phones.

First, they read the device ID

and then They use IMEI+ HWID to calculate the Freeze code and Net lock code.

It is sha256 + aes

I just do not know where they write the code onto a T-mbile LG phone
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stallio:

As I mentioned in a post, I paid for octoPlus $20 'the software suite, it was suppose to do the job, which it didnt, then I was advised to Skype their support they were lazy in replying and eventually said that we don't provide services for LG products so I contacted PayPal and I got the refund (Thank you PayPal)

Another Update.

As I though That I have rooted lots of devices and have seen phones getting carrier unlocked so I will do it and didn't bugged the seller a lot. I talked to seller, called him 3 times he called back and he said "you should have called me about the issue" he said send me the phone I'll get it unlocked he said give me some time, he was polite and humble unlike the shop owner who had attitude of crack peddler.

I'll keep you guys updated no ego thing from my side, if it is fixed I'll get the details here, I know the dents scratches of my phone I have the serial number, IMEI number photographed, so if they fixed the phone or changed the phone I'll update everything here, even if end up looking like jackass because of this, I'll update, this will be a community help and awareness from my side. My mistakes can prevent others to make one.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
[MENTION=7795754]Stallio[/MENTION] Thanks for the update. [MENTION=4201835]cnjax[/MENTION] was being sarcastic :)

I am really curious what ends up happening here. Again, not to be a pessimist, but the T-Mobile SIM unlock is unlike ANY other model. They use file that is signed with a 2048 bit RSA key just like the bootloader unlock.bin that you get from LG if you have a US996. Now they may have found a security hole in the modem -- the LG V30 abl had(has?) a massive security hole concerning unlock.bin. You can flash basically anything and it will unlock the bootloader.

So, I am not completely ruling this out, but again, it has to take advantage of some security exploit. It could be an exploit on the unlock server itself, and they fool it into giving a valid unlock file.

Please keep us updated.

EDIT: Someone PMed me a site that claims to be able to SIM unlock the H918 remotely. So, I am going to buy the service, and sniff the network and USB traffic. If it actually SIM unlocks, then I will have all the data I need to implement it.
