[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
No, you are quite fine and can unlock your bootloader in just a few minutes. See point #2, but first I'll explain your issue with the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock website...

1) Off eBay, did you buy an open market LG US998 V30 (originally sold through 3rd party retailer like B&H Photo) or just a U.S. Cellular model US998 V30? Or US998 sold by other regional carriers? They are the SAME model and BOTH are "carrier unlocked." Unless you buy it new, you can't know. Unless the seller includes the purchase receipt.

The difference is the B&H Photo and other authorized retailers sell the OFFICIAL "open market" LG US998 V30 -- and those have IMEI and DEVICE-ID registered on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list website to be eligible for bootloader unlock code.

U.S. Cellular model US998 and other carrier-sold models are not eligible for LG bootloader unlock code.

2) None of this LG Developer website stuff is necessary at this point in time.

Every LG V30/V30+/V30S on the planet -- except for the T-Mobile H932 -- can be bootloader unlocked and rooted, thanks to a wonderful bootloader unlock exploit [MENTION=6158380]TxanMoe[/MENTION] discovered in Oreo. ;) We don't need LG permission and unlock code any more.

See the WTF bootloader unlock and root thread

. Since you already have US998 is going to be very easy for you. You already have fastboot flash commands, whereas other models like LS998 have to first go through Frankenstein method to get fastboot flash commands.

US998, H930, H930DS, V30S are the easiest.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Stuckurface:
I guess it must not have been a true open market version. I saw the method you mentioned in the thread, but it looked sketchy, so I wanted to make sure I couldn't do it the original way first. However, I tried the WTF Bootloader unlock and it worked! Thanks for taking the time to explain the different phone versions and linking to the thread. I now have an unlocked bootloader!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
You're welcome!

I have three official open market LG US998 V30/V30+. I also have two LS998 V30+. Five, total. Most are bootloader unlocked, but I only used the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list website (and LG code) for the very first one. The others used the WTF bootloader unlock exploit. MUCH easier!

For the LS998 V30+, of course I had to Frankenstein convert them to US998 V30+ to get fastboot flash commands.

Point is, I've done it both ways -- as well as starting with US998 or having to convert to US998...

I also wrote the guide for the WTF bootloader unlock and root method.

Strange then you didn't post in the WTF thread, instead of this totally irrelevant thread from July 2018. :confused: Why did you dig up this OLD thread and post something not even related here?

If WTF isn't "working" for you then it's because you aren't following the instructions. I also bet any problems you are having has questions and answers IN THAT thread. Not this one.

For instance, OH LOOK:

Please continue any discussion in the WTF thread and not this thread you hijacked.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Jserwatowski:
Please enlighten me then.

If you're so positive it works and you feel that I'm not following the directions properly please enlighten me on how I should do this because I've tried numerous times and now I'm stuck in fastboot mode and cannot get out of it I can't even access the download mode The flash the firmware using LG up patched. Also I would appreciate the sarcasm to tone down, it's unnecessary and quite frankly I'm simply just asking a question there's no need for a snippy response.

I didn't dig up an old thread either, all I did was Google this and then this is the first thing that popped up so I clicked on it and decided to see if somebody could help. I don't know what your problem is and why you have to have a f****** snippy ass response some people just aren't as tech-savvy as you might be

Why don't you go to the right thread first.

Why don't you see the link I posted for your solution.

Snippy response is for digging up and ruining this thread. You posted in totally irrelevant thread for no reason whatsoever, and when I pointed that out and gave you a solution, you pretended you didn't see the solution and posted in the wrong thread again.

"LG Official Bootloader Unlock" (this thread) has NOTHING to do with your problem.

Go back to WTF thread which is what your issue is about. See the solution I posted above and there are probably more in the WTF thread.

And your first response was to POST in this thread that has nothing to to with your problem, instead of asking for help in WTF thread? Has nothing to do with being tech savvy, but has to do with forum etiquette. This thread has outdated answers (H932 is NOW rooted, but wasn't back in July 2018).

The first thing you should have done is post in WTF thread.

How to switch to 2.4ghz

My p20 lite is always connected to 5ghz WiFi but drops out when a few metres away from the router, does anybody know how to force it to use the 2.4ghz frequency as this seems to have better range?.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] kilroystyx:
If your device is rooted you can try this:

Change the file cfg_ane_lx1_hisi.ini or cfg_ane_lx2j_hisi.ini depend which model do you have.

This file is located in this path: /vendor/etc

Disable 5G doing this:

band_5g_enable=1

change to:

band_5g_enable=0

reboot

Then tell me if it work with you because I cannot run a test with mine because I don't have passwords for 5Ghz WiFi's around me.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] geicogecko:
For the first few months I had the phone I would follow the following steps:

-Unzip OTA

-Fix the flash-all

-Run it

-Extract boot.img

-Patch it using Magisk

-Copy it back to PC and flash the patched boot.img

Ever since the June update after I flash the patched boot, the phone will never finish starting up. I've had to install Magisk using TWRP for the past two months. Only reason I don't like doing that is because I have to remove my PIN and fingerprints each time. Did something change with the update process?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] lightningdude:
Yeah, if you use the updated TWRP you can keep your pin, because it will decrypt your data. Plus, the OTA and Factory Image are two separate things. Are you actually using the Factory Images, then?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] geicogecko:
Sorry, yes, I'm using the factory image, not the OTA. I didn't know that about the new TWRP and have downloaded it now. Do you know about the issue with the method I was previously using though?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] hacktek:
So I have a Luma, one of those mesh wifi systems with 3 access points. Before the July update, the phone would disconnect as I moved from one room to another so roaming was weird and acting up. After updating to the latest OTA I'm happy to see this is no longer the case. I can confirm my wifi isn't dropping anymore because I run openvpn in the background and it remains connected for hours (10-14 when I arrive home / overnight) whereas before uptime would suck as it would reconnect on lte and then reconnect on wifi every time roaming broke.

Has anyone noticed other good things / fixes from this update? No bugs please, I'm sure there's a thread for that already somewhere.

Cheers!

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Pawnty:
So yesterday I completely trashed the screen on my S8+. Digitizer is wrecked and it would cost over $300 to get it repaired which isn't worth it when I can just pay it out and upgrade for less.

Rogers has the S9 for $0 right now, and the S9+ for $120 on 2-year contracts.

I see that, other than size, the only real difference is the S9+ has 6GB of ram rather than 4GB. I would prefer the larger screen but can learn to live without it, so is 2GB more ram worth $120? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Tel864:
I actually liked rhe smaller screen of the S9, but don't forget with the Plus you're getting an upgraded camera with a 2nd lens.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Pawnty:
Ooooh, I completely overlooked the difference in cameras. I assumed they were just the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] tropical cactus:
I have the S9. Better screen resolution, easier one handed use but less ram and single rear cam. Depends what you're looking to do with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
The extra camera on the Plus doesn't really do anything, it's just a telephoto lens / selfie focus thing, of which most of the time even when you tell the phone to use it for telephoto photos, the image quality of the main camera is better by cropping, so it just uses that instead (Automatic decision made by the phone)

I wondered about this same choice, but for the extra money for the plus the extra features were just nowhere near worth the cost

Have not needed any extra RAM either

Bigger screen & battery would be nice but not worth that extra cost IMO
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] BackDaws:
Really wish I'd had gone for the 9+ now if not for the extra battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
I'm really pleased I didn't, battery lasts me all day easily, usually still got 50% left, as I said earlier the 2nd camera isn't anything special and rarely used, have not needed any more RAM and I like the size of the S9
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] BackDaws:
What battery life are you getting ? I get about 5 hours screen on time with medium to heavy use .
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
Between 5-7 hours SoT, with normal usage like WhatsApp, camera, music, email, browser I get around 7, with heavier usage around 5-6
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] BackDaws:
Ahhh right so mine isn't so bad then, I'm using the exynos version which apparently has a sloppy governor :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
Yea Exynos here too, battery life is OK, nothing to write home about though

[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Mrdev1430:
Bro, can anyone suggest me a rom which uses the least possible resources. I need more ram and processor for apps.

M using HAVOC OS, which leaves only 900mb ram free.

PUBG 0.7 chat is lagging and i cannot cope with that.

I need a custom rom, donot want to use stock.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] marcdw:
First off, free ram is not something you look for on Linux/Unix systems. As the saying goes, free RAM is wasted RAM. This isn't DOS/Windows.

The system (tries) to manage memory just fine so your low free ram is a good thing. Doesn't mean there can't be issues with memory leaks or apps not being removed from memory when they should.

App and processor management might be something you need to do on any ROM if games are important.

What kind and how many apps constantly running or loaded, like social media stuff

You can tweak the kernel. Change governor, configure I/O scheduler and the like to eek out more performance.

Low memory killer adjustments if you want to control apps 'n stuff in memory.

Custom kernel maybe?

I see a lot of posts about that game. You're gonna be doing a lot of ROM hopping if you believe that the game will be better on one vs another, out of the box. Could try a barebones/featureless ROM (GZOSP, f.i) over a fully loaded one, in case one thinks more features = higher ram usage.

Nah, one needs to configure/tweak/adjust for optimal game play. Find out from others what cool adjustments they have.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Leone/kyleproxx:
I think oem unlock is suppose to allow your device to not lock to a specific sim card when you insert one
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
OEM unlock unlocks the bootloader, but only for Exynos chipsets. There is no user accessible way of unlocking a phone from its carrier beyond calling the carrier.

It's present in the snapdragon US models, but does nothing. But that's the fault of US carriers strong arming Samsung into not letting US models be bootloader unlocked.

Is there a way to speak to Samsung officials for them to allow us to unlock bootloader?

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] levone1:
Rootkernel is a tool. You can use it to disable built-in Sony security features in stock kernel, so you can modify system, etc. You will need the stock kernel.elf file from your ftf. Default format is .sin, I think, so you need to use Flashtool to dump kernel.sin from ftf, then use sin editor to get kernel.elf. Then you can use rootkernel tool to patch kernel.elf and output boot.img, that you can flash in recovery.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] tumincm:
ok thanks for your response, i will try to learn, i am very noob with this, is there any guidance in forum x compact.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] levone1:
Use 7zip, and go to ftf file and select 'open archive'. Find the file inside called 'kernel.sin', and extract /copy it somewhere. Then open Flashtool. in top dropdown menus, click 'sin editor', and navigate to the kernel.sin file, select it and choose 'extract data'. It will dump a file called 'kernel.elf'. Then download rootkernel tool, and extract to a folder, and put your kernel.elf fokder into the rootkernel folder. Then open a command prompt in the rootkernel directory, and type 'rootkernel kernel.elf boot.img'. If it works, it will create a boot.img that can be rooted.

issues/questions:

- I have only done this on Oreo. Serajr made an unofficial rootkernel specifically for Xperia Oreo. I have no way to know if it will work for a Nougat Docomo device. I know rootkernel has had several versions/releases, and does work on Nougat, but I don't know for sure which one, if any will work for you. Search these links:

- Dm-verity is a security feature which will prevent system mods. You should select 'yes' to disable it

- Sony RIC: ditto

- Not sure about TWRP msg. just leave it 'no'. You can flash TWRP later.

- If you don't have ta backup, you might want drm fix. It theoretically improves camera performance if you're missing ta. Since it says unsupported, maybe if you get bootloop with new kernel, try again with 'no'.

- Why not install busybox? Many or most root apps need it.
