I may seem late but i know how.

First: You need to install a older version of android on ur lg g3. Here is the files.

Link: https://storagecow.eu/?dir=Xda/LG G3/Stock/Canada D852

V10b is android 4.4 for bell so use that one!

Second you must unzip the file and you will see a TOT file.

3rd: Download LGUP and LG Drivers from this link

Dropbox

www.dropbox.com

4th. Plug in your phone and you will see this big screen (Must plug in first then open LGUP or you will see a small screen)

5th: Select ur TOT File by going to the bin section and going to ur folder where the TOT file is located.

KingRoot 4.5.0 (120) (Android 2.2+) APK Download

androidapksfree.com

9: Download and open the apk then once its open select try new root method.

10: Once it finished rooting download flashify from this link (Ignore if you just want root not new custom rom)

Flashify (Android)

Store your backup files and never lose a thing

christian-gllner-flashify.en.uptodown.com

11: Grab ur TWRP IMG Here

TeamWin - TWRP

This is the Team Win website and the official home of TWRP! Here you will find the list of officially supported devices and instructions for installing TWRP on those devices.

twrp.me

12: Once you downloaded the file open flashify then go to file explorer then locate ur TWRP img. (Might take some time)

13: Once you located the file click it then select to flash.

14: Once its done flashing install recovery reboot in google play store.

Are you sure that this solution allows to uninstall these apps completely? Won't they be still nested somewhere in phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
one cannot delete system apps without breaking OTA updates. that's why Magisk is systemless-root method, it does not modify system partition.

disabled apps remain disabled until factory reset. do a backup beforehand, you will brick your device...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macias99:
But solution that @aIecxs suggested seems to work different than just disabling an app. When using ADB to uninstall an app it is no longer visible in apps management in settings.

Dear Experts,

I'm trying to rewrite lost IMEI after flashing stock rom (No backup). Tried everything in my sleeve. I am trying to find out how to enter in Meta mode so I can use the SN write tool or Modem meta. Tried following things:

adb reboot meta - nothing happening except reboot.

Vol button combo - nothing but fastboot and recovery.

Root - bootloader/oem can't be unlocked

Tried verity of tools nothing happening.

Brom mode - TP needs to be connected all the time (This is how I flashed the Rom).

Does any of you guys know how to activate Meta mode in this device. Seems nobody shared that detail over internet. Please help..

Thanks in advance.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] mvikrant97:
Please head on to download the official tool
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] eb60700:
I did it from the same website, but still not detecting.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] mvikrant97:
Please make sure you have all the required drivers installed. If not please just install HMD Device Kit and it will install all the necessary drivers or you can manually install drivers from here.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] eb60700:
Hi mvikrant97,

Sorry for the belated reply, I have installed HMD Device Kit drivers as per your link. but still its not detecting by Modem meta or SN Writer tool. While I connect the switched off phone this shows up in device manager.

Thanks for the helping hand mate.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] mvikrant97:
Were you able to connect device before when it was in working condition?

It also seems like the cable you are using is malfunctioned or the device USB port itself.

I'm sorry but I will have to ask you questions to diagnose the problem.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] eb60700:
As I have mentioned before, I flashed this device with stock ROM using the same usb cable by triggering Test point in Brom Mode, So I highly doubt this is because of the faulty usb cable. Thereafter I lost my IMEI, but fortunately I had one IMEI noted down beforehand. I am trying to rewrite that IMEI so that I can use my SIM. Seriously what is this Meta Mode? This means nokia G10 doesn't support Meta Mode?

Please feel free to ask any question or suggestions mate.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] mvikrant97:
You will need Pandora Tool to fix up the IMEI.

But as much I know you need to have the backup beforehand to fix the issue.

You may refer to the video below
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] eb60700:
Thanks for the heads up. Looked up the tool, seems expensive than the G10 itself. Still wondering why the phone is not detected though.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] Nelly8:
Maybe because the phone does not support Meta mode

After reading a post here or in another forum I stumbled across a program called BARCORAMA http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=368798

Its a program that lets you scan UPC barcodes with your camera and then goes out to the internet to let you find the lowest price online for that item...already saved me quite a bit...and made shopping feel sortof fun for once...fealt like a spy..LOL

Works Awesome on my touch Pro...strangely seems to work better when I zoom to 2x and take the picture than when im in close

You cant have anything in the image cept for the numbers and barcode img, anything else will confuse the app and it wont detect anything.

[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] smuskat:
Hi. I read many posts of yours regarding the REVVL V+ 5G, I was encouraged by your progress, and took comfort that someone else had some of the same struggles that I did. I was able to unlock the bootloader, I was able to root the phone (using an img file posted by someone else here; I hadn't yet read your root recipe), but I was no longer able to connect to wifi. (is this familiar?) In trying to undo the mess, I ended up making my phone unbootable.

I wanted to install stock ROM from scratch. I read your instructions, but there's no scatter file in the ROM that you posted. So I'm confused.

I figured that I could install the stock ROM zip via TWRP; I googled and found a TWRP for "Sprout" (the codename of our device), but for the life of me I couldn't install it on my phone, no matter what I tried.

You're ahead of me here; perhaps you can get me on track. Right now, my phone isn't booting at all.

Thank you!

I looked; our REVVL does not seem to be listed in the list of supported devices. :(

And may I ask for a clarification, please: You wrote above, "the firmware links i sent you- there should be at least 2 different ones, and an OTA... well, if you open the root folder and type 'scatter.txt' in the search bar it will pop up." In your post, I see 2 links to firmware; one is called https://www.mediafire.com/download/sxq4cz8bddmr49l, and one is called https://www.mediafire.com/file/irigs9iviy3sobw/T-Mobile_REVVL_V%2B_5G.zip/file. I downloaded both. I clicked on the downloaded file, and in the search bar, I searched for "scatter.txt", and got no results. What am i doing wrong? Thanks

After installing the modified boot img with fastboot my phone bricked and i cant fix it, it just crashes on boot and loops back whenever i try to normal boot.

If there's any help you can offer I'd appreciate it.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] R41N MuTT:
Edited: guide complete. Try it now.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] vinnie215215:
So i Followed the guide exactly and everything seemed to work fine until i flashed the img modified by magisk. Fastboot said it moved and wrote successfully.

Then when i rebooted and hit the power button again to bypass the 'orange' warning instead of starting into a factory reset phone, it flashes the backlight and starts booting again.

Im also unable to get into recovery, fastboot mode is all that works now. I've tried to flash the stock boot_a img but not the boot_b, do you think that would help?

I'm gonna make a new img with my s9 and try that as you suggested.

Edit:

Well i might be handicapped.

I had 2 phones here, the V+ and the 6 pro.

Turns out i did youre walkthrough on the revvl 6 pro. It did unlock it, but obviously when i flashed the boot.img for the V+ it bricked. And i cant find the backup anywhere.

In short thanks for your time, I'm afraid all i did was waste it :\
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] R41N MuTT:
Edited to remove irrelevant content. Guide complete. Try it again. If your phone will not hard reboot, try adb reboot bootloader. All activity should cease and your device should promptly enter fastboot.

i started messing with this phone on my own until ididn't have right stock firm. is alot steps get this phone rooted.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] R41N MuTT:
I couldn't agree more. Lol. I'm actively editing the content to condense it. I'm also working on porting TWRP. I've done some other things to save a few steps, like patching boot_a and putting it on Dropbox so all you'll have to do is download it and flash it. When a13 OTA gets captured it'll get better

[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] pickymarker:
can it be done today
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] R41N MuTT:
Perhaps that. In fact, that's what I'm waiting on- the a13 update. I intend to capture the OTA and follow the spflash walkthrough. Then I can update this how to where it'll work for everybody. I have 4 people right now with boot issues after root that go beyond WiFi, and they all 4 can't get spflash to work. It's bugging the crap out of me, I haven't been able to figure out what to do to fix it. I'm still waiting on some other folks I've reached out to, if they ever have the time...
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] comm-ents:
I was just toying around with it, but realized the issue was because the tutorial misses a step in the unlocking process after looking back at the process outlined by the development team.

Erase metadata and userdata (and md_udc if existing):

python mtk e metadata,userdata,md_udc

Appreciate your work though as I have had this phone for awhile and thought T-Mobile approval would be required to unlock it. Sometimes you don't know until you look.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] R41N MuTT:
You say this guide omits this? Check step 3. It's at the bottom, commands are typed in red. Or are you saying I missed something else? Because that would explain a lot. Thanks, by the way. Figuring this stuff out and quoting so many other resources accurately and clearly takes editing skills I didn't have before. Lol
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] comm-ents:
I figured out the real problem as there was one step that needed to be done before unlocking according the the d

I missed that step, but after looking at the developers documentation, I just did the two commands consecutively as they suggested, then start phone and reset. Maybe consider some people might be color blind :)
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] R41N MuTT:
Hmm.. I didn't consider that. I was all trying to be clever.. I'll add bullets or something. Hope nobody is bullet blind. 😂

But seriously though, the issue that's been going on is spflash error saying it doesn't support mt68xx when it clearly does. And another is not being able to use WiFi after root...
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] pickymarker:
The spflash you have is not the correct one Hollywood gave me the correct one but because usb is being weird I can't use it
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] R41N MuTT:
That's good to know. Do you have the link to that spflash? I'll add it to my post for others who have a similar problem. The spflash link in my post works fine for me, and others have had success. I don't know why one works for some and the other works for others. But I need to include them both

[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] kaliman_chance:
You said you are no longer able to connect to wifi. Do you know how to system trace through developer options, enabling USB debug, and scrolling farther to start a trace? Or are you able to use $ adb shell getprop? You say you are rooted, of course has to be magisk. Download the BusyBox and toybox modules from GitHub, install them, and then $adb shell, $su. From there you will be rooted and can use the BusyBox and toybox shell commands to gather quite a bit of info, I'd start in the proc folder after the su command. Make sure your symbol is # and cd proc, then # ls -la, you will have a nice long list of properties to explore your issue with. Each partition has a build.prop file, when you do the ls -la command the list you see will be separated hopefully by color, you'll be able to tell which is a file, or script, and which is a directory. Use the cat command (#cat {property or script name in the current directory} ) you will pull ALOT OF INFO that way. Don't worry feel free to explore; the system is read only for now so you can't damage a thing. Another alternative use terminal emulator on your device and when open do the $su command and then # magisk resetprop that will list your important props. I need to see at least one of these things. Another is to go into shell as su and type the command dumpsys, and cp that to your download folder post it here I'll try and help you. Sounds like you flashed the right chipset wrong device boot image. Or your props are out of whack.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] kaliman_chance:
What about spflash can't you get to work? You honestly don't need it you can flash what you need just fine through mtkclient. That eliminates the need for the scatter. If you want spflash to pick up your phone, you must do the mtkbypass tool from bkerley on GitHub, right after you complete stage 2 and load the payload I enclosed on the other thread, and are still connected after the da exploit you can then without closing the command window from mtkbypass use spflash. Stop the connection with the bypass and spflash will not pick the phone up scatter or not.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] kaliman_chance:
Did you unlock your bootloader first? And then WIPE YOUR PHONE RIGHT AFTER, THAT IS A CRUCIAL STEP. also try this if you can still get to the bootloader fastboot. Not fastbootd. The command set active=(a or b) that trips people up because when you flash, usually the system boots from the opposite slot than the one you flashed. That very well may be the issue. Try both. And also you installed that boot img, sometimes you have to reflash the vbmeta, vbmeta_vendor, and vbmeta_system as well, all of them with the structure 'fastboot flash vbmeta_a(or b or system whatever) --disable-verity --disable-verification (path to your file.bin or img) when you are flashing with fastboot, always make sure your file names are as they are in the scatter or as they are originally named, make sure it's the BOOTLOADER fastboot not fastbootd or recovery. Want to use spflash tool you have to use mtkbypass.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] kaliman_chance:
One more thing boss. BEFORE YOU UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER REMEMBER USE THE MTK BYPASS TOOL TO PATCH THE DAXFLASH AND PRELOADER AJD ALSO TO TAKE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU USE MTK CLIENT. YOULL GET TO KEEP YOUR WIFI THAT WAY. AND ALSO USE THE FASTBOOT FROM THE BOOTLOADER DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE FASTBOOTD AND EACH FILE BEFORE FLASHING USE THE --DISABLE-VERITY AND -- DISABLE VERIFICATION ARGUMENTS. 😉 GREAT JOB AND THANKS FOR CONTRIBUTING TO THE COMMUNITY AND KEEPING ROOT ALIVE AND FUN! -CHANCE

So i see towards then end of the how to it states to flash your modem.img from the stock rom. unless im blind which i might be i dont see a modem.img in the rom files. im sure it would fix the wifi issue if it was there.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] cryptokey87:

[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] cryptokey87:
Ok. So update on your so far complete guide. i was able to reflash my phone with absolutely no issues.. followed it step by step, and it even fixed my wifi issue after flashing complete a/b rom set. idid however run into a problem towards the end of my really long night of figuring out what to do with ,y now bricked phone. i removed the root and relocked the bootloar and on a reboot to normal it weent into a boot loop, and everything i tried to unlock it again, all the up down and power combos no touch plugin, no meta , no nothing and then a black screen flashing over and over. TURNS OUT.. This particular model of MT has a really easy to get to reset that most would probably not think of.. At the top edge of the phone theres a pin hole(looks like second mic). i assure its not i tested it twice to make sure i wasnt trippin from the lack of sleep of roming. anyhow. i held my sim tool down in ther slightly for a few seconds and wahlah. took it out of boot loop and aven re unlocked my bootloader. what a trip. i have never seen a phone with this feature. but wth i had nothing better to do with my time at that point in the F*** i broke my phone moment to try ome stupid ideas. hope this information helps others with this model. cheers.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] R41N MuTT:
Voila. It's voila, not walah. In fact, there are so many things wrong with this post that I don't know where to begin. I'm so tired but when I seen this craziness I snapped bolt upright. First of all, those holes on the outside of your phone are for reception clarity and nosie cancelling microphone. If you damage either one your phone experience will take a major hit. Do not jam anything into either hole. They haven't put a reset button on an Android phone for 15 years. If you have an issue with your phone not booting, be patient, we can help you. If you had a success but don't understand how you did it (I've totally done that before) that's one thing. But please try to refrain from posting this bizarre tabloid-news-esque gobbledegook. This post is a mess as it is. I already have so much to fix. Thanks for the help, everybody. Kaliman, you're awesome. I'll get to this post again as soon as I can.

well i just so happen to manipulate it a 3rd time a little bit ago. amd i made some research there are some international made phones with resets in them. i know what most of the ir and ics do internally and where they are on the pcbs. i have to say this one is real. i can see why you would not beleive the story but its there and it works. anyhow.. im running smooth now. just need to figure out how to get my imei back in place.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] R41N MuTT:
I've had this phone on a reworking station. I've looked it up and down. I know what every single port goes to, I'm aware of the order of every pinout: fingerprint scanner, camera, sensors, charging port, microphone, voltage regulator, etc. There is no master reset button on this phone, you're mistaken. *Edit* in fact, I reworked the USB c and swapped the charging port, I also swapped the camera where my original had a cracked glass. I had to resolder a 2 pin connector that popped off the board... Give me a break
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] cryptokey87:
nice. i beleive what your saying. but everytime i puncjh in on that spot it resets it. so i dont know. it weird. anyhow. you wount happen to know where i can find an image of the modem/network peices. or if it in those files which one it is so i can reflash it?
