I just peeked at the tool and you have to have OEM Unlocking enabled to use this so it may not help you.

i have the Verizon one too .. it was working fine in usa .. once i fly overseas and connect wifi .. it goes relocked ... let me try this tool maybe it help me back my unlocked ;)

I have the Google store verizon on Verizon. Think you need to have an unlock bootloader to use this.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] digitechcare:
you right .. i wont let me do it.. i think i need to unlock bootloader .. any suggestions ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] wolfu11:
For me I was curious to see if this is like the treble ROMs that are out. There are AOSP TREBLE ROMs out that function quite well. One of the advantages is that we have a choice not use Google apps/services with the TREBLE ROMs. Just like the old days. Most of the custom roms out now are loaded with gapps.

There's even AOSP based ROMs with gapps in this section that have a lot more customations.

It's really about choice.

If you have fastboot then download factory image, extract contents to fastboot folder and hit run

If not download the OTA zip, load up recovery, sideload update in recovery using ADB

i really don't know , i was following the guides here and i lost my device partition.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Darkat70:
Im not really in the best position to be advising you, i dont know what the process is for the S10plus, but im assuming that whats happened is its given you a huge system partition and a small user partition? If you download or use solid file explorer, it should show you the root directory where you will be able to see its size.

I would assume you'd need to root from scratch again and change its partition sizes.

[General Questions and Answers] somerandomboi:
I just received a used Samsung galaxy note edge, it was working fine until it updated to a newer version of android and stopped working.

All I can see is a black screen and a blue blinking light which means it's turning on. It starts, then it tries to load android on the phone, fails, and starts again, over and over.

Although it can:

- Reboot to recovery mode

- Perform any command

- Factory reset (Already tried, not working :| )

So basically what I'm asking for is a method to get to fastboot mode. I think I figured the problem (Android 6+) and I got the solution (Android 5), I just need to install it.

Any recommendations for this?

Thanks in advance : )
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] jweidman:
Good evening,

So after about 8 or so years of being on an Iphone i decided i wanted to come back to android and got me a note 10 (sm-n970u) and im looking to root it but couldn't find anything on it in the forums here, did see a few websites saying it's possible but I trust this forum more than any random website.

So the few questions I have are,

Is it possible to achieve a root in the note 10 (SM-N970u) ?

And what is the best backup program you get all the apks, system settings, and photos?

So i made a dual app with whatsapp and everything seem to be working fine until i noticed i couldnt download or send any media files.

Ive been reading and searching for hours but i cant seem to find the solution.

In the Dual Apps partition, i only have 1 very weirdly/random named folder.

I cant delete or add anything to the partition... if i try to delete i get ask for permitions, when i grant them it ask for them again... (i checked it already has them)

So im almost sure its a permissions issue, but for the life of me cant find out HOW to grant them... help!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] badillin:
Found the solution.... Im guessing it had to do with encrypting the files?

Anyways, after I Format Data, then did the whole process again, from factory reset... everything worked fine.

Just flashed Lineage 14 on my Amazon Fire 7" (5th gen) tablet and I've got the "NVRAM WARNING: Err = 0x02" in my available wifi networks. Is this the same problem as "NVRAM WARNING: Err = 0x01" or something different? Because all the fixes that I can find talk about 0x01, specifically to edit file /data/nvram/APCFG/APRDEB/WIFI to add the device MAC address.

Hi everyone, i have rooted my g6 play few months ago and I'm happy with it, but i cannot install the newer OTA updates. The one im stuck on is the October patch, since than i haven't received anything?

Is it something to do with the root/bootloader/recovery/whatever, or that was the last update anyway?
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] sd_shadow:
If you installed TWRP you won't get OTA updates.

Either way if you want the latest firmware available you will need to flash it.

You should know 3 things before flashing.

Model number, codename, and software channel.

Those should be shown in

Settings/about phone

Has anyone tried this yet
[LG V35 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Meatmassuse:
Yep, works exactly as advertised. I was just about ready to give up on this phone :victory:
[LG V35 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Android#:
I can also confirm it worked on my V35 but the OP poster's instructions assume that user following these instructions have a good know how about Qfil 9008 mode and associated processes. This is the first time i used Qfil. Qfil is very powerful tool and it is possible to delete one vital or all partitions on phone without any prompts or warnings. Please be careful following that guide to unlock bootloader on V35 or V40 and your very first step should be to use 'Partition Manager' --> 'Manager Partition Data' --> 'Read' on any partition especially 'abl_a' partition that you will be deleting following that guide. I personally just backed up some important partitions before proceeding. In my first try I was stuck with an error after flashing engineering bootloader onto abl_a and was stuck on boot screen. I reentered download mode after several failed tries and was able to use the Dev LGUP to flash the .kdz again. On my second try I was able to get to fastboot but 'fastboot oem unlock' kept failing until i disconnected the phone and reconnected it in a new powershell, tried 'fastboot flashing unlock' which gave error and said i was already unlocked, but i wasn't unlocked yet, tried 'fastboot oem unlock' and for some reason it worked this time . It worked after several tries so don't give up that easily. There is not custom recovery for the V35 that i could find so we are limited in what we can do even with root and Magisk but at least this is a start. Hopefully some devs now can get at least TWRP going for this phone.
[LG V35 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Android#:
****(Please read and do the second part in this post first)****

To add to my previous post, if anyone is going to unlock using this method, they need to keep a few things in mind. First, keep in mind that you can only access the fastboot menu when you have engineering bootloader flashed to abl_a partition but while you have that, you can't boot into system, only fastboot will work. In order to boot back into system, make a backup of your original abl_a partition and after unlocking bootloader, you can flash back original abl_a partition to boot normally. Also even before starting with abl_a partition (i haven't tried this part yet but am confident i will get it to work once i continue working with my V35 later tonight), while you have Qfil and phone in 9008 mode, you shouldbackup the stock bootloader image, reboot to system, install Magisk apk, then use the app to patch Magisk to it. Once you have patched bootloader image, put phone back in 9008 mode, replace abl_a with engineering bootloader, enter fastboot, unlock bootloader, try flashing patched boot image if it fails in fastboot, try flashing it using Qfil. If you try and it works please leave any feedback and tips here for others. Thanks.
[LG V35 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cmrntnnr:
It is great to hear that it worked out! The process was smoother for me. Possible reasons for the issues you encountered are in the specifics of your USB setup. The ideal situation for flashing on this phone and other LG V and G series models is a high quality, even LG-supplied, USB cable and a computer with USB 2.0 ports. There are dozens of reports in forum of diffulties with USB 3.0 hardware. If it is a laptop, it should be connect to mains, as well.

For anyone else contemplating this, the instructions in the V40 forum, link provided in a previous post above, are well-written, provide links to the needed files, and there is helpful discussion on troubleshooting problem.
[LG V35 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Android#:
Good to hear it was smoother process for you. How did you root after unlocking the bootloader? The original post in V40 forum doesn't deal with V35 and the method of erasing LAF doesn't apply to my phone because I am able to access fastboot, which in itself, even with failed tries wasn't an issue, the real issue for me is taking advantage of unlocking the bootloader otherwise what's the point of an unlocked bootloader.
[LG V35 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cmrntnnr:
I feel your pain. This phone isn't easy and most seem to have moved on. Like you said, there isn't much point to just unlocking the boot loader, root is the goal. In a nutshell, what you need to do to get root is:

1-Extract the boot_a image either directly from the phone or from the kdz. Place the image on your phone.

2-Install Magisk Manager apk on your phone. No root needed for that. I am on stable 7.5 branch.

3-Use Magisk Manager to patch the boot_a image file from 1, emphasis on file.

4-Copy the patched image to your computer.

5-Use 9008 mode to flash the patched image to boot_a and boot_b

6-Reboot, you should now have root.
[LG V35 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Android#:
Thank you for your help. I flashed it to both boot_a and boot_b but still phone reboots to fastboot only. No matter what I do or select in fastboot menu it just reboots back into fastboot. Thanks for your help.

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

Finally got it to work, used Qfil in 9008 mode to 'read' the boot_a partition to extract it but forgot to change it to .img from .bin prior to Magisk patch it. Renamed the extracted file with .img extension, patched it again, flashed it back on boot_a and boot_b partitions and this time i have full root. Thanks again for your help.
[LG V35 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cmrntnnr:
Great! A clear set of instructions like what [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] wrote for unlock and root of the V30's would make everyone's life better.

With luck, this will kindle interest of some developers and modders.
[LG V35 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Iantuition:
I tried that and got the red triangle with "all slots are unbootable!" after flashing the engineering bootloader. I simply followed the instructions, nothing more.

A clearer guide is needed, soon. I don't know why it was thought that just linking would be enough.
[LG V35 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cmrntnnr:
Sorry to hear that. There are at least two reasons to refer people to the V40 forum. One is that the V40, G7, and V35 phones are each Judy models. The instructions on the V40 are clearly written and work on each of these models.

As to why there are not V35 specific instructions or perhaps more fullproof instructions. Well, there are so many different variants of these phones, pc hadware, usb cables and the like. No one here is paid. Frankly, there is a fair bit of empiricism. You have to be willing to experiment and accept some risk.

With all of that said, the reason for your difficulties is not likely a problem with the instructions. People here would be happy to help you work through the process if you provide some details.
