Unfortunately on Fire 7 (7th gen) the emmc traces are located under the soldered shield. Also, there's only a test point for the CMD signal, for DAT0 and CLK you have to dig into the trace and remove solder mask over a via. It is very small and difficult to solder.

On the other hand, on Fire HD 8 (8th gen) the pins are right there when you open it up, and labeled. You won't be able to hardmod root it using this method however as it implements dm-verity so any changes to /system would panic the device.

This wouldn't work on the HD 10. If I recall, the points are under the board. You can see the pin pattern on the side facing you, but all the hardware is underneath it.

Hi all!

I have three gen 7 HD8s I'm readying now to solder/hardmod root, but I have a question about firmware. All of my HDs are running older firmware and have had OTA updates disabled. Are there any version issues/limitations with hardmod rooting? Can I quickly flash/update these devices to the latest firmware and then root them, or would it be best to leave them running the older OS releases?

Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] NFSP G35:
This answer my come too late, but...

There is now a somewhat easier hardware root based off several different methods/threads/etc... including this one.

This method doesn't require soldering, but instead requires making a temporary short between ground and one of the same pins used for <br />'s method (specifically TP28) using something conductive like a wire, tweezers, paperclip, or similar conductive object.

I was able to successfully root my HD8 using this method, as have several others.

How to root Fire HD8 devices ?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Original Android Development] Azaze666:
what about copying the sh to /data/local/tmp then from terminal: cd /data/local/tmp

chmod 777 sh

chmod +s sh

chown root:root sh

then copy the phh-su daemon and do the same

chmod 777 phh-su

chmod +s phh-su

chown root:root phh-su

chmod 777 su

chmod +s su

chown root:root su

then remove the reader from the pc and power on the tab, install phh-su app and from a terminal app:

cd /data/local/tmp

./sh

./phh-su --daemon

in alternative to phh-su you can use:https://github.com/corellium/sud

it's two days i'm thinking about this and i think it could work

The only doubt I have is about selinux but maybe the setuid bit will circumvent it maybe not

Hello all,

Have been away fm WM camp for a while (wandered to Symbian and iphone for a period of time) and recently got a 2nd hand Kaiser to play with.

Pls excuse this returning newbie question: do we still need to care about the notification issue? I use to install Scary Bear "Clear Notification" on startup. Do we still need that now? I have lots of appts with alarms, so I wonder if it will slow down my machine or make it unstable after a while.

I have searched a bit and it seems some people say it is still needed, some say it is now very stable and won't need.

Thanks in advance for your input.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] fuzzybabybunny:
I'm debating between buying the LG V30s, G7, and S9+. I would prefer the LG ones because they support QC 3.0, but I travel internationally all over the place and need a phone with a ton of LTE band support (but I'm currently in the US).

I need 6GB of RAM, 530+ ppi, IP68/67, USB-C QC, and great cameras, so this is all I have to select from:

https://www.gsmarena.com/results.ph...mm=selected&sIPCerts=5,6&sOSes=2&idCardslot=1

The S9+ has 26 bands.

The LG V30s (US998R) only seems to have 11.

https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/A3ljK/lg-us998-v30-td-lte-lg-joan?c_id=676585

https://www.techwalls.com/lg-v30s-thinq-model-number-differences/

The LG G7 (G710ULM) is worse at 9.

https://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-G710ULM-Unlocked-g7-thinq

I have a hard time believing that LG would create a different chip for all their different regional models of the same phone. The chip must support all the bands but a ton of them must get disabled in firmware. Is there any way to unlock them?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Alibaba0101:
which specific bands are you looking for? The samsung exynos phones typically support a lot of bands, just not the us specific ones. Because of whatever contract samsung has with qualcom, their chipset doesn't support any of the sprint or verizon lte/cdma bands.

The us specific phones typically have the radios crippled and each rom supports bands for that specific carrier. the samsung s9+ snapdragon 845 (us version) has the same issue as the lg phones + they can't be rooted or bootloader unlocked.

the lg v35 unlocked supports a lot of bands, but again, no root or bootloader unlock

the oneplus 6t supports lots of bands and can be unlocked but its not a premium phone and is missing a lot of other features like sdcard, ip rating, qi charging, etc.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] fuzzybabybunny:
I'm not looking for any specific bands since I don't know where exactly I'll be traveling to. I just want as many bands as I can get just in case. On the USA side I just want TMobile support.

The US S9+ versions still seem to have a ton of band support, no? Their only issue is they can't be rooted, but is this a permanent problem or do all Samsung phones eventually get root?

If I wanted an LG G7 or V3x phone with 6GB and all that jazz I mentioned, do I have any options for one that had tons of bands and is unlockable? A European version perhaps?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Alibaba0101:
There is sim unlocked and bootloader unlocked which are two different things. Two phones closest to what you are describing would be the unlocked s9+ from b&h and the lg v35 unlocked. Both will support around 22 bands and will be sim unlocked. Currently neither phone can be bootloader unlocked.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] lost_:
While most decent 2017/2018 phones already support B12 & B66, not a lot of non-TMO phones support B71 yet. If you want to keep your new phone until 2019+, the phone should support it. That means your choice would be limited to the ones in TMO B71 list

FWIW, LG V30 H932 (TMO): WCDMA B1/B2/B4/ B5; LTE B2/B4/B5/B12/B46/B66/B71 LTE Roaming B1/B3/B7/B20/B38/B39/B40/B41

I travel a bit too but you'd get too many hits and misses with LTE if your destinations are still unknown.... I'd get the phone with best value proposition for daily TMOUS (IMO that's currently a used H932 in mint condition, easily found), and just deal with LTE abroad as the issue comes (get a local SIM, rent/buy a hotspot if needed, etc - you probably knew that prepaid data packs are normally much cheaper outside the US. I have a hotspot specifically for use in Asian countries I travel to).
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Whereas for me on AT&T, the best value daily phone is the US998.

http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-US998-Unlocked-v30

US998

CDMA: 800 MHz CDMA

2G GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

3G UMTS (HSPA):850/900/1900/2100 MHz

4G LTE Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/12(17)/13/20/25/66

Only T-mobile subscribers would use LTE band 71, and most T-mobile phones still don't have it.

Don't forget about HSPA... Last time I was in Brazil, where their main LTE bands 3 & 7, my phone at the time had those, as does the V30. But STILL most of the time I was on HSPA due to their telephony infrastructure in rural areas. Point is, having good selection of HSPA bands is still your best "international" fallback plan for phones that don't have 99 LTE bands.

Don't obsess over having every LTE band for every country. For proof of that, look at T-mobile. TONS of people on this forum have the US998 on T-mobile. Their phones work just fine. ;)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] fuzzybabybunny:
Thanks. I really want 6GB of RAM though, and the V30 doesn't have it. The other LG phones with 6GB of RAM either don't seem to have many bands or have a locked bootloader or both.

I ended up buying the Samsung S9+ G965F/DS. It's got root, 6GB RAM, and all the other features I'm looking for except QC 3.0. It's kind of a shame because I've been a Samsung user for the last 10 years and was adamant I wasn't going to get another.... but here I am.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Alibaba0101:
Great phone

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] fuzzybabybunny:
Yeah, I'm in a bit of a tough spot.

I need 6GB because the only reason I'm upgrading from my current TMobile S5 is because 2GB just doesn't cut it for modern apps anymore and 4GB just isn't future-proof enough for me. My S5 doesn't have band 71 either but the day-to-day sluggishness of not having enough memory is FAR more of an issue than band support.

I *want* to get the unlocked SnapDragon S9+, but it's not rooted or bootloader unlocked yet and I don't know if it *ever* will. Even the S8+ still has problems with bootloader unlock and root, right? The only reason I'm still running the S5 is because the ability to unlock and install LineageOS saved it and allowed me to squeeze two more years out of it.

So can anyone say with 95%+ confidence that the unlocked USA SnapDragons will have BL unlock and root?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] fuzzybabybunny:
Ok, I'm now even less confident that the S9+ SnapDragons will get bootloader unlock and root.

Even looking back at the S7, LineageOS is only supported on the Exynos models and none of the SnapDragons:

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/herolte

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/hero2lte

Same for the S8s.

I'm guessing that this trend will only continue for the S9s.

The T mobile version sounds great to me because it would work great in Italy where I travel often. However I am planning to convert the H932 to us998 by flashing with LGUP for rooting. Does that mean I will loose the extra bands of H932 and have US998 bands instead?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
1) You will brick your phone. T-mobile H932 has different RSA encryption than the other North American V30 variants.

This is why H932 can't use WTF method to install TWRP and root. It cannot be Frankenstein'ed to US998 for necessary fastboot flash commands.

2) Converting (Frankenstein) any North America V30 to another (not possible with T-mobile H932) makes it THAT phone, including all bands. After bootloader unlock and root, Verizon and Sprint users will often flash their VS996 or LS998 modems back.

by [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] has nothing to do with

WFT method -- which for some V30 (particularly North American variants) mean at least temporarily converting to another model (like US998).

____

I think you are somehwat confused. AT&T H931 has always had LTE bands 3 & 20. Note both links below are to LG.com website and those specs have been there since DAY1.

https://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-H931-Black-lg-v30

H931 (AT&T)

GSM/EDGE (2G) Bands: 850/900/1800/1900

HSPA/UMTS Bands: 850/1700/1900/2100

4G LTE Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/12(17)/20/29/30/38/39/40/41/66

LTE bands 3 and 20 have also always been in the US998 specs:

http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-US998-Unlocked-v30

US998

CDMA: 800 MHz CDMA

2G GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

3G UMTS (HSPA):850/900/1900/2100 MHz

4G LTE Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/12(17)/13/20/25/66

Why not just buy US998 to begin with? Or buy cheaper variant like LS998 and convert to US998. I'm not understanding your logic. With US998 you get LTE bands 3 & 20, have CARRIER UNLOCKED, have fastboot flash commands so you can also bootloader unlock and root if you wish.

With H931, you are carrier locked to AT&T. Yes, you can get that unlocked -- but then you have no access to firmware updates as AT&T only gives updates via OTA to AT&T customers. This is why everybody and their brother CONVERT H931 to US998. To carrier unlock, get fastboot flash commands, AND get easy updates.

The G965F/DS is not snapdragon. The only samsung snapdrag phones that are unlocked are the hk and cn versions which again have crippled radios.

The best snapdragon 845 with unlocked bootloader and root would be the one plus 6 and thew newly released one plus 6t.

The lg v30s does have 6gb of ram and most likely can be unlocked using wtf method. But the bands will be more limited and its snapdragon 835.

Firmware - software-defined radio.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Alibaba0101:
This isn't just an lg thing. Almost every manufacturer that has a direct relation with the carriers is doing this now. The hardware is almost all the same, the radio/modem drivers are signed and specific to the encryption keys to the device/firmware. Thats why (with the exception of the h932) we can take any varriant and flash other firmware radios drivers to the device. Certain carriers like at&t and maybe verizon also don't allow lg to release their firmware for recovery. This makes getting roms with their specific modem firmware even more difficult.

Huawei phones were great because they had most of the bands, but they decided to kill the bootloader unlock. Oneplus 6 was still sold independently. It'll be interesting to see what happens on the tmobile version of the oneplus 6t.

There was a great writeup in the v20 forum if you are really interested.

If you can't enable USB debugging and you can't unlock the screen, you might be out of luck.
