I need root because I miss the amazing Xposed modules, ViPER4Android, etc. that I had on my previous phone. Root adds a lot more functionality to any phone, but I believe even more to our huge HAM2.

I don't "need" root, but I WOULD like the option!
I'm in for $25
I'm good for $20. Love this phone, completely spoiled by the battery life and screen size.
I'm in for $30....so many reasons why I need root....
Count me in!
Tried Towelroot, No go. Says it's rooted but it is not. No go with Kingo either. I would like to try it via Fastboot but in fear of a brick I will not dare.
Trying with Latest Kingo updated version..... On 3rd reboot... It's certainly trying.
Still no developers interested even with the bounty?
I'm good for $25.

Amen to that
Guys,
I have a question. I saw on http://www.theunlockingcompany.com/index.php/huawei-ascend-mate-2-unlock-code.html that they say they can unlock the HAM2 between 12 and 24 hours. Do you think if I purchased this unlocking code that the bootloader would unlock as well?
It's worth a shot, they only charge $12.99
Currently my HAM2 is already unlocked to work with any carrier, I was just hoping that purchasing unlock code would also unlock bootloader. What do you all think? I dont think doing this will unlock bootloader but still, had to ask the question.

So i decided to ask LG if we actually do have an unlocked BootLoader and if we did how were we supposed to unlock it and this is what they responded me with....
Dear Carlos,
Thank you for contacting LG Electronics.
Unfortunately in USA models boot loader cannot be unlocked as a carrier request. USA models, even though they look similar to the international modes, have carrier specifications on their software. Due to their request that’s why we are not able to unlock it.
Once again thank you for contacting LG. In case you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again either via email, or by calling our customer service division at your convenience. Have a wonderful day.

That's true, kuma.. Personally I read for a couple of weeks, over and over all that was needed and how to recover from mistakes.. It helped so much reading all the posts, what works, what doesn't. I'm very greatful to everyone that went before, and the crazy devs for pushing the envelope and figuring things out.
The current unlocking process may be complicated, but it works, if you take time to read(and read again).
Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I want to unlock SO BADLY but I get stuck after I flash, I don't know what to do ahaha xD
The current unlock method for TMO P769 is so convoluted and it seems rather risky... Risky and destructive enough, I will probably not bother. How likely do you think a decent/proper unlock method will be found before the end of the year? I really dislike the stock UI and limited theming options/etc, came from PACMan on my previous phone and this is rather disappointing for a phone with such solid hardware.
Its looking pretty unlikely and I think I might just sell this phone and go back to Samsung where they tell the carrier where to shove it when they ask for a locked bootloader. Shame on LG for complying with this... Sure, they aren't Apple or Samsung but I think they could have pulled it off. At the very least they could have snuck some hidden method like HTC with the wire trick for S-OFF into the US version.
*UPDATE 9/25*
Ok guys, sbreen94 spent some of his precious time and blindly built a ROM for the AT&T G2 in hopes to give you guys a taste of what would be to come. We had some trouble getting it to boot, so he is going to stop for now since he has other development projects that he can spend his time on.
The only true way for him to work his magic would be to get a device into his hands. As of now we only have CleanROM. That's great for a stock, debloated experience and it definitely serves a purpose. But if you want an experience with a tons more customization, then Hyperdrive will be a great addition to our dev community.
I have added some pics to the OP of the tweaks and customizations from his S4 that you could eventually expect here.
Please let me know if you are interested and how much you would like to donate! :thumbup:
*UPDATE*
With the recent developments today of obtaining Loki and TWRP, we are a full go for ROM development and flashing. Hopefully this bounty catches steam because Scott would be the perfect dev to get us our first super tweaked and customized ROM. Let's do this! :thumbup:
-----------------------------------------
Hey guys, I promised my good buddy Scott (sbreen94), the dev from the infamous Hyperdrive series of ROM's that I would make a bounty thread for him to try and get a G2 in his hands. For those of you not familiar with him, here is his XDA profile link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4600715
I will quickly start off about why I am doing this. Before I moved to AT&T about two months ago, I was on Verizon and had a S4. The phone was a lagfest and sbreen94's ROM, Hyperdrive, was the only ROM that eliminated the lag on the S4. Between launcher tweaks, build.prop tweaks, etc, he was able to make that phone fly. Not only that, he adds a crazy amount of customization options. His ROM was absolutely second to none on the Verizon S4. I will 100% vouch for the quality of his ROM's and I think he would be an enormous asset to the G2 community. He is a great guy and is always willing to help. When I came to AT&T, I had a S4 for the first two months before I got my G2 last week. Scott and I were testing his ROM to try and port it to AT&T. He spent countless hours sending me test ROM's and AT&T packs. We were super close right before I got the G2.
My goal is to get an AT&T G2 in his hands and I am asking for support here in this thread. I am looking to raise $600 for Scott to get his awesome ROM on this device. And look, I totally understand that the bootloader is in question, as well as custom recovery. I am obviously asking for no money up front and if custom ROM's don't look very promising, then you can definitely go back on your pledge. All I ask is that if you are interested, please make a pledge in this thread and I will keep the tally. If and when we reach $600, you guys can send your pledge to Scott via his PayPal ([email protected]). I am in for the first $50, but I will definitely go up from there if there is a lot of interest and we get close enough to the $600.
To look at examples of his excellent work, here are links to 3 of his ROM's:
S4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301724
S3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106830
Note 10.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294477
Thanks everyone for your time, and let's get this man a G2 to get a killer ROM on our shiny new devices! Please feel free to ask me any questions as I am in frequent contact with Scott. :good:

Let me chime in real quick. I am very familiar with sbreens hyperdrive ROM. I've had it on my gs3 and my fiances note 10.1. It has all the customizations anyone can ask for and it is incredibly smooth so... When I get paid I will pledge because other than the M.O.A.R ROM hyperdrive is thee most customizable rom you can get and I can understand why this bounty is brought about. Look this guy up he is an elite developer. Yes he is one of the top 5 developers in the past year. Look him up. Good idea OP
Will he be porting this over to VZN G2?
Well frankly speaking, I develop ROM for lg devices only & i'm quiet familiar with their frameworks..

E.S.L.
The more I read from Kingo and the more I look into this issue, the more I think that they are not doing anything shady.
Their app. is advertised for rooting, unlocking, etc., TONS of different devices. Some devices I know need to have certain codes created from that specific device's information (like the IMEI and SN or whatever) in order to achieve some of these unlocks, etc...
I have a hunch they just collect that info. from all the connected devices in case they need it on their servers to generate one of these specific codes/scripts they need.

I think an important thing to consider is that word spreads through the development community pretty quickly and if they were caught red handed helping themselves to private data they risk a major backlash, most android enthusiasts take their phones more seriously than politics or religion. The letter seems legit and they are removing the questionable information gathered. To offend this community is a legitimate way to lose 60+ percent of the people who would use your services, free, ad supported or otherwise. There is only one company/entity who had constantly screwed with development and the xda crew and that's Verizon Wireless. Kingo is not Verizon Wireless.

Can anyone confirm that this method is now a more XDA approved method? As in it no longer pulls personal data from the device other than things that are necessary such as phone model and such.

The official recommendation is to wait for version 2.0, as it will have this server information sending "feature" removed. That is based on Kingo's response. To say that Kingo devs had bad intentions for us is not accurate, but the sending of certain information to foreign servers when it really shouldn't be necessary is always understandably a red flag.
Will it hurt you to use Kingo root on your Note 3 now? Probably not. Is it safer for you to just wait for version 2.0? Probably.
Hope that helps.
They've updated to v1.1.2 it seems ( Mod Edit: links to vRoot or Kingo are currently not allowed on XDA.
) which is why I asked. Looks like they supposedly fixed the questioned issue...but I am in no way able to confirm that.

Yes, this method totally works:
Step 1: Ask Kingo if Kingo is up to no good.
Step 2: Receive response from Kingo that says no, we are totally not up to no good
Step 3: Wait, was that a triple or quadruple negative?
Step 4: ...
Step 5: Profit
I think all this hoopla over kingo is funny. People...your personal info and data is accessible on a STOCK smart phone. If you want to remain anonymous...dont use a smart phone period. Ship it to me and buy a trakfone.
have a nice day.
I figured the information being sent was pertaining to pushing the correct files, when you mass root many devices it only makes sense. Still it makes sense to be caution especially when you don't know exactly what info is being sent.

Using htcdev was forbidden by verizon which makes us require something such as SuperCID
What we have
We have We don't have
Root
Bootloader Unlock
S-Off
@jcase and @beaups has pulled of complete s-off with the vzw HTC 10 via Sunshine!
Current method
The current method of getting s-off and root is by @jcase and @beaups sunshine app at http://theroot.ninja/download.html
NOTE: when sunshine asks, turn the screen on and off or it won't work
Notes requested by @jcase
*Do NOT go s-on or relock, as you will have to use Sunshine again
*Taking the OTAs as they come out is your choice and yours alone. If you are already s-off, meaning you sent your phone to @jcase, then you can take OTAs with no risk. S-Off cannot be undone unless you manually do so, so no ota will remove it .
If you are not s-off yet, the release version and the first and only ota works so far. If you take future OTAs without s-off, you run the risk that @jcase's method may be patched.
*The new update has patched Sunshine, but you can still downgrade and root following this guide. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...an2017-root-unlock-s-off-verizon-htc-t3531996

I'm excited for this. Is there a bounty or anything?

No bounty that I've seen has been started yet, but if someone wants to start one it would probably encourage the devs to find a creative way to get temproot. If we get temproot, sunshine will hopefully be easy to make work on vzw, which will give us s off, then supercid, then unlock.
Keeping my fingers crossed. Probably won't happen though unless it's with a Java card like on the One m9. But after all, it'd only been out on Verizon for a few days. We shall see

Get a bounty started, or ask someone to, and I'm sure @jcase or someone similar will find a creative way to pull it off.

Hopefully so. I think jcase already has it done for the other variants. I feel like Verizon is always the last because of extra steps. It may not happen though since they like to lock their devices down.

Thanks @jcase for the dedication to the project! I have sent in a donation to help with this effort. I hope more users who wish to benefit from this work do the same! Looking forward to the progress in the upcoming weeks.
EDIT:
jcase is not accepting donations for this project. Please support buy purchasing a license when available!
Can't wait to see what happens. Would be awesome not to have to ship my phone off for 4-5days again. Not getting my hopes up after the m9 but crossing my fingers!

Just saw the refund notification and was wondering what happened! Honestly, I would not have at all minded donating and paying for a license. However, I respect your policies in this matter.
Count on my purchase when it is supported! :good:

I just dont feel I'm acting ethical taking a donation to fund a project that we are going to sell, and we also see a lot of people take donations for things never released, so I feel taking donations before release is just making that the norm.
I do appreciate it however!

I appreciate your stance and honesty! I'll just have to wait to support with a license purchase then.
I am keeping my phone in a stock, un-updated, un-activated state (haven't even gone thought the setup wizard). My thinking is that keeping it virgin will make it easier to crack. Is this reasoning justified? Do you see any risk in activating/updating and using it? My fear is inadvertently updating security measures that make the unlock process more difficult/impossible. While I can still happily use my M7, it's killing me having my new 10 sitting in the box! But, if there is a potential benefit down the road, its a hardship I can endure.

I didn't send anything yet but of course I'll buy the license when it's working! If I remember right, didn't you guys get root on the m9 but it wasn't safe and fool proof enough for release?

Oh wow! That's good. Is it at all likely the vzw 10 would require the same methods? Sorry to pester, just excited [emoji16]

Can't comment on the methods, but m10 is very different than m9.
