What does this even mean? And why are you asking it in development?

The answer is no and he is because he either doesn't know or doesn't care.

Move to Q/A section and try and clarify what you mean. It looks like you put the text into google translate.

lol

I have a retail phone sorry. Should have been clear. Thanks all!

What's a retail phone?

Ok for the metaly challenged I own a retail phone. I do not own a DEV phone. Most all of the roms here are for the DEV phone.
My question is...... Are there any roms here for a RETAIL phone?

Lol "metaly" challenged. You looking in the mirror?
That really only applies for Verizon. If you have the Verizon model that is not Dev, then no, there are no roms that will work for you.
Okey dokey?

Mentally challenged noob...
All phones are retail unless you got it from a tree...
You, sir, are wrong. Wrong section, wrong attitude, and worst of all, wrong phone if its a Verizon or at&t locked boot loader phone.

Gotta love when people get upset when asking a question. I've never in my life heard of a phone being called a retail phone. State what carrier like they said above if it's a vzw phone you sir are a noon for buying it

You mean NOOB. PS I am not mad this is fun to me. Thanks all for making this a LOL. I just wanted info. I will have to get a DEV phone now.

Unless of course you decide to get a retail dev phone. The best of both worlds, lol

Look, Bub. Who cares if you've been here longer than I have? Clearly it doesn't make you smarter. You tried calling me out for suggesting you search, then I posted the other thread that you claimed didn't exist. You make me laugh. Now drop it... your question has been answered. I'll get out of your thread now.
Children! Children! Please! Yes we know he should have search. He said he did and found nothing. He could have just as easily said that he did not try and it would have made no difference.
@uansari1 Calm the **** down, theres more people to blame for being guilty of this than just him. And there are bigger things to be *****in' about than just this. RELAX
@pr0cl1v1ty Yes the sim will work just fine, just take it out of your g1 and place in Nexus One. You dont even have to alert tmobile, it will work as soon as it is placed inside.
@Paul22000 Was that really neccesary? Dont forget that plain text cannot correctly display voice. And an ignorant newbie randomly searching the forums could come into this thread and be misinformed by your statement.
I'm on the no contract 500 min/unlim text/unlim data for $60 before my work discount annnd new to Tmo. No complaints so far
Also... Enough with the search comments... it gets rather childish.

[Q] Root Block: Intentional or Bug?

Cyanogen is saying its a bug. Tmo is saying its a feature. which one is correct?
If it is indeed a bug how would tmo go about fixing our phones? mass recall? sweep under the rug?
If its a feature, is it a precursor to what future phones will be?
Either outcome isnt very good for the consumer and may lead to lots of lost customers for tmo. Specially after tmo releasing a statement that its a feature of the phone.
I love this phone, the very first smartphone i ever had, and was really looking forward to hacking around with it but its hard to justify such a device that locks you out of such features. I hope cyanogen and all the other great devs work out a solution to this problem. I dont want to send it back.
looked for similar threads and couldnt find any.

People are being jerks for sure, but OP, you should search better cuz your question has been answered in several threads. The short of it is NO. It is not a bug in the sense you are thinking. It is an intentional bug which tricks linux (android os) into thinking writes to the system files during root are being made when in actuality, the writes are only being written to cache. Once the cache is cleared during reboot the root access is erased because it wasn't actually written to the system in the first place. It's not a bug that needs to be fixed. It's a bug that was placed there to fool the system and make permanent root more...challenging.

There is a very informational Wiki out. Check it out. It will get you up to date with all the work that has been done towards root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2
The important part of the question.. for me.. is whether the Z has the same bugFeature.
I see one random user saying that they flashed a G2 rom on a Desire Z and nothing more. Have I missed something? Kinda hard to say yay or nay based solely on that.
"Intentional Bug" ????
If it's intentional, it's NOT a bug.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Thank you XfooYen for the info. I did a quick search before I posted(the posting page even searches similar post before you publish them) and found nothing similar. I will make sure to search more thoroughly next time.
I am familiar with the current situation with root, I just though that if a well known developer like cyanogen thinks that its a bug that maybe the readers of xda might want to discuss his possible ratonale for such a statement, then again that may not have been what he was trying to say and got it misrepresented by the media. Instead I saw nothing but irrelevent and pointless posts. For a second I thought this was gizmodo or engadget.
Thank you again. Its good to know that xda has readers who actually know what they are talking about and not just the average troll.

Actually, you're wrong.
RT @cyanogen: @garok89 yeah, and the statement tmobile made is technically wrong. theres nothing that restores the phone, its actually what i'd call a bug

Agreed. This is XDA. In the years I've been here, there was never this much flaming and douchery as there has been lately.

What happened with the dump from the Unbranded/Dev/Test Device? Da_G?

Just wondered if there were any updates as to what was up with that one guys dev device that was unbranded and did have HSUPA enabled? Did you guys get a system dump and poke through it yet?
I was wondering the same thing. Agreed that things like these don't happen overnight, but the suspense is killing me. I hope Da_G and gang haven't given up on Atrix like some other devs.
Sorry if this is incorrect but I believe that design gears said he gave up on the attic in the thread where he posted the retail sbf

But Design Gears was a huge factor in any development done with the Atrix so far so having him gone is like a kick in the face.

Well i will add some information for you guys then...
Da_G does have a dump from a Dev Atrix that had a unlocked bootloader and hsupa enabled. He attempted to write(not flash) the unlocked bootloader to a locked atrix. The write was successful. but upon further inspection it appears that moto(unsurprisingly) has this area write protected. He did successfully write it(as he read the data back byte for bye and it was the same as written) but it appears that the data is mapped to another section of nand.
This as as far as hes gotten right now, i do not know what he is currently attempting.

There is a bounty thread already, should be enough as of now to buy a new atrix if im not mistaken. Its only going to get bigger...pretty good incentive. Id be shooting for it if i knew anything more than a few adb commands..

The reason is not so important as the fact they good work is out of this forum.
Even they stopped here you can find they work which is continue out of this place.

It would be really sad if G00h is really gone. Does g00h has a social media account or something with maybe some more background information?
I will not get into why he was banned as it is no ones concern but the mod teams and the banned user. All I will say is that he earned it. And for those that think it was very unique, it really wasnt.
You have to remember this is a developer forum. Not a rom site. Not a place to come and make your phone cool.
Nuff said.

Where are the ROMs?

This might be a dumb question, but i'm quite certain i'm not the only one wondering. Is anyone working on any ROMs for the v20? I know jc cracked root and recovery fairly quickly. Is anyone working on any roms? I'd love to test out Cyan ....its been years.
Pretty sure LG hasn't released the source code yet, and we still don't have the dll needed for unbricking using LGup. It's only been a month since the phone was released, chill.
I think once we get a way to flash tot/kdz people will be more willing to experiment.

I can't speak for anyone other than myself,but,it's generally considered rude/needy asking for ROMS & ETA's for such.If you don't believe me take a look around XDA & the rules for all who enter here.
Seriously,only one model has an unlockable bootloader ATM & it has only been available officially since 10/28/16.
On top of that,Android 7.0 is a new OS with only a handful of phones running it,so,you may wanna temper your expectations for development a bit............................

This. Patience is a virtue. Instant gratification is childish. If you want a ROM right now, start developing it yourself.

Perhaps you can show me where i asked for an ETA??? Seriously though, i'm not trying to be rude or demand anything. I simply asked if anyone was WORKING on roms. I didn't say "WHEN IS THIS COMING OUT?!" or anything like that. Delete it if you want, i was just curious to see if/what people were working. Someone above nicely informed me that certain software was needed before anyone could start developing, which makes sense.
What doesn't make sense, is calling me childish, selfish, etc, for asking if anyone is developing anything. It's so ridiculous that i can't ask a simple question without people jumping down my throat. I've been on this forum for almost 10 years and it didn't used to be like this.
LG is not a very popular brand that does not attract devs. Even the Pixel doesn't even have roms. The days of roms are numbered sadly.

I understand that the second screen caused problems in the V10 development. That'll likely be an issue with this phone as well.

Thanks, thats all the OP wants to know. As do I and many others. IS someone working on a ROM etc.. No ETAs ... This guy seems to be working on something also .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/v20-v1-oct-20-16-t3482986
Here's my take on it. For one why would anyone buy a device like this to put cm on it? Like seriously that would be just silly. That's what nexus devices are for! I highly doubt there will be many roms that aren't just the standard stock debloated/deodexed. And those aren't even features. My advice is stay stock and use xposed if it comes out. I highly doubt there's gonna be any ground breaking features added to any rom.
Plus all the devs are switching to iPhones now! lol

Phones has officially been out 19 days and the resources needed for custom Roms aren't available. Tag this in the first world impatient problem bin. Geez.
