G3 on ATT (for when it happens)

Here's hoping. I loved the g2 but this looks fantastic.

True that! I just hope this isn't locked down like the GS5

They didn't lock down the m8...hopefully they won't lock the g3 down..if they do I'll probably go with the m8.

It most likely will be lock down. The loki exploit that was used to root the G2 was patched with android 4.4.

Being on a ATT One X I'm out of the loop has any exploit been found for 4.4? Or will we be in the same boat as the GS5 guys? How is the M8 doing?

No exploit has been found for 4.4 so as far as I know, we will be in the same situation that we are in the S5.
HTC is a different story cause they provide a method to unlock the bootloader via HTC dev.

I'm so hoping AT&T gets the G3 (and hoping even more the bootloader is unlocked).. I have the LG OG Pro, and LOVE it, but ready for something newer.. Would have got the G2, but the lack of a SD card slot turned me away from it.. Just hope we get lucky! :fingers-crossed:

I love my OG Pro...like looove it, but when ATT offered me an early upgrade (1 year early) on my line, I opted for the S5...not knowing that it was bootloader locked.
Depending on the info released today and when it comes available, I may be returning my GS5 for the G3. Because you know... LG > Samsung in my book. (Even though I had both Note and Note 2)

G3 is coming to all of the big 4. There's no chance in hell it will come with bootloader unlocked when getting the device through the carrier. If you want an unlocked bootloader, but it from 3rd party reseller or hope for a new exploit.

You guys might be real happy about this, I just read this article, where they did a benchmark with an International version the LG-F400S LG G3 variant which apparently works on AT&T's LTE network. My guess while not only does an International version work on AT&T which is amazing news, but chances are, wouldn't that also mean that the device in theory would also be factory Unlocked?!? :good:
Here's the article.

You might also consider the G2, spec wise very similar to the S5, but can be rooted easily and custom recovery installed (not T-Mobile) without having to downgrade the OS from Kit Kat first. The first step requires a computer using IOROOT25, which roots the phone, the an app that installs on the phone called Autorec, installs recovery. Easy as pie. I hope the G3 will be just as easy.

I looked into getting the G2 before I decided on my Optimus G Pro, but the lack of an SD slot instantly turned me away.. I've rooted many phones and installed more roms and kernels than I can count.. I'm studying development right now trying to get the hang of it so I can develop roms/kernels etc.. Thanks for your input!

I need a new phone bad and the LG G3 has everything I want. Sleek design, Wireless Charging, Removable battery, etc. If ATT locks down the bootloader, I'll be looking elsewhere.
I walked into an ATT store the other day and said I'm looking for a new phone. He said everyone really likes the GS5. I rolled my eyes and said no thanks. He had a puzzled look on his face and then I told him I'm not buying a bootloader locked phone. He just mumbled, "uh ya" and walked away. I walked out.
I was going to wait for the nexus 6 but that is dead now.
Looks like HTC is the only option these days for root and custom roms unless you go Oppo or One Plus One.

You can get the international version of all the phones you mentioned and they come with unlocked bootloaders. Look in the XDA forum for those phones (S5) and they probably have custom rom and a root process.....

The problem is having to pay full price for the phone. Yes, I know contracts end up being more expensive, but not everyone has about $700 in their pocket to drop on a phone.

I was thinking of picking up one of the Korean version on ebay. How can I know for sure that I will get 4g on AT&T?

We've got the g4 but no party along with it?

I just got my g4 in the mail and I'm loving it. First phone I ordered brand new so it's my first time seeing an empty forum. No root, no twrp, no xposed. Nothing!
Do you guys have non-root alternatives to our favorite root apps and mods?
Keyplus is great for binding the torch to the volume up key

WHO ELSE IS LOVING THEIR G4?!?!

yea, it's been weird for me too. I've had HTC flagships the last 5-6 years. Always got it and already had unlock, root, recovery and some ROMs. This is a whole new feeling for me. We have root for the 815, which I have. So I'll grab that tonight.
LOVING the device too - exceeds my expectations for sure. Gorgeous display, fast, loud speaker, no complaints at all. But yea, missing the activity in the forum to go along with it!

TWRP is available now!

We didn't get root on the G3 for a while....Wait for more devs to get their phones as well.

I did an JUMP! 1 upgrade from a Nexus 6. This is my first LG G Series device and I gotta say I like the size and the Quad HD IPS Display is awesome!!! Now if I can remove the T-Mobile bloat, I'll be happy.

Well, I mean, the phone hasn't been officially released through all carriers yet so it's hard to already have every form of development already processed. Give it a month for root, another couple for BL unlocked and after both of those a few weeks and the pages will explode

...not at all. The G3 was BL unlocked (Verizon) many many months before this phone came out.

We're all going to be learning lessons in patience then hahaha. The 815 is getting the response I could only dream of the 811 having.
But the whole reason I started the thread was to ask if there are non-root variations of the root apps we love so much. Like removing bloatware, changing the dpi, all the stuff like that. unachievable without root?

Its because none of the devs have this phone yet. If you would like to help get this phone rooted, unlock the BL and make way for custom ROMs; please donate here: gofundme.com/vwn2dk
They are only a couple hundred bucks away from the goal! Team Codefire will be getting one for sure.

unfortunately it looks like the party is only going to be for the ones who got the international version. the models for the US phone carriers do not look like they'll be rooted. kinda sucks

Just be patient, LG will provide unlock for other models soon.

You can change your dpi without root using adb. I already had adb set up, so I just used the commands from here: http://android.wonderhowto.com/how-...creen-resolution-without-root-access-0160439/
Mine is at 560 right now. Stock dpi is 640.

Tell me about it. You'd think LG would be more welcoming to developers, seeing as they were late to the game and knowing their main competition already has root for their devices. The more and more I use my G4, the more half-baked the phone seems.

And you came to this conclusion how? The G2 and G3 have root and custom ROMs for all US models.

there is still people waiting for the phones. I myself just got mine yesterday like some one said earlier it took awhile for root to come to the g3 i remember waiting for it when i first got the g3 too.

I should have been aware of this when i was purchasing hoping they will sometime soon.

Unfortunately only the European G6 H870.
Gesendet von meinem LG-D802 mit Tapatalk

I recently bought an H870DS version (though the title was said to be H870). I should have done more digging as well. That said, I have spotted some other tutorials and videos here and there that range in promises. Some claim to guide someone through a process of rooting models sold in the US under T-Mobile and others claim to be able to do it on the H870DS.
As I am just beginning to make my iPhone transition to Android, I am cautious when venturing out of the Walled Garden -- especially since most Android devices have no Secure Enclave present to realistically protect certain permissions.
What I would like to know is if LG -- or XDA -- has a history of obtaining root on devices in a situation synonymous with the LG G6 H870 and H870DS. How likely is one to eventually be able to root the device and install custom ROMs or help with Android Development on the H870DS?

King Root? Don't make me laugh.
When's the last time some 1-click root like that ever worked? 5 or 6 years ago? And even then it was malware infested. Current versions certainly are. There's a reason to don't see that crap on XDA.
If you installed it on your V35 you need to completely reset your phone, really freshly reflash KDZ via Refurbish mode.

The shop in China where I got my V30+ sells V35 with root. They gave me my V30 rooted as well. I did the TWRP myself. The V35 is really cheap and was even considering one. They're like 140 USD for 98% new.

I'm saying any branded 1-click solution like "King Root" don't work on any recent (past 4 or 5 years) LG phones and are malware infested. Why are they lying? Because they want you to install their adware/Malware -- and you still won't have root.
But you won't think to flash full KDZ via Refurbish mode to clean you phone.
That's the reason you see all those websites falsely telling you that you can root using the files they entice you to download and install.

Yes you can buy already-rooted V35 from China.
Any V30/V30+/V30S you can do yourself.

Use Telegram, you'll get a quicker response

Must use MP or Oct Pro for unlock Bootloader first before can root this device

I'd like to root my V35 ThinQ as well. I don't see a guide for it or anything... anyone know? Feel free to send me a PM too.

The best way to root your v35 is to ask someone in the Telegram forum to do it for you remotely. I recommend @vbenkovskyy. Your other option is to lay out some cash for an Octoplus setup.

You find someone in another country who remotes in to your computer and does some stuff, while your phone is connected. You pay them money.
In Discussion sections like this, XDA does not allow advertising or referrals in posts for paid services like that. They prefer devs create procedures and share so others not only can do it themselves but can improve on it. XDA allows donations to Devs, but they can't charge money in advance.
There are Advertising sections on XDA, but not here.
The other way is to buy already-rooted V35 from China. But it won't be new.

Hey @ChazzMatt,
Thank you for the response covering xda policies.
The situation with the v35 is tricky. It seems prospects for a do-it-yourself, free-of-charge unlock are fading with each passing day. LG and QC have foiled some skilled devs. The v35 is even immune to the recently reported CVE2019-2215 exploit, too. Thankfully, there are other means to free this awesome piece of hadware. Sadly, they are less than perfect. Have you unlocked your v35?

My V35 was bought from XDA member who had SIM card unlocked it and flashed it to NAO firmware. Mint condition. I've not updated to Pie yet.
I know there was V35 TWRP floating around somewhere but not sure it worked with Pie? If I have root, I would like TWRP.
The 2nd V35 I bought was brand new in box AT&T V35, for my sister. SIM card unlocked but still AT&T firmware, as she's AT&T customer and wants Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE. Finally gave it to her last weekend.

Do you have links to rooted v35s sold in China? Better yet, a working TWRP for V35? I have a rooted V35 with no TWRP and gives a system warning or error message upon boot.
Thanks
