Hi all,
I recently rooted my OTA 23c upgrade, but now I want to take it a step further and flash another ROM. I've attempted the bump! method, but due to a locked bootloader the custom recovery mode doesn't work. I believe I have to downgrade to 10b, but I'm unsure as to how to do that. Using LG Flash Tool has been useless for me, but perhaps I'm not using it correctly?
Help is appreciated, thank you.
My reply to the other guy in General in the same post as my reply to your other question has the info you need.

Hey guys, im sure theres a thread about this already and please dont pick on me, i just cant find it for the love of me, plus my boss is on my ass about computer time.
can someone please point me in the direction of unlocking the bootloader on a atrix that came with the official 2.3.4 update. i really hate blur and i want to install a custom rom, i have superuser and cwm installed i just need to unlock the bootloader
This thread is how I did it. Pretty painless. Make sure you read the thread before you do it though. The OTA update will soft brick your phone before you issue the unlock command. Be sure to thank the original poster.

Hi guys,
I understand there is no straight forward procedure on how to root 5.0.2 currently and we would have to revert back to 4.4.4 and flash the stock Lollipop.
I guess my question would be is has anyone already tried to use the guide in this link?
I found it posted here in xda somewhere but I can't seem to find it again.
Highly appreciated if you can post your feedback.
Thanks!
I am in need of root since I am hating on how Lollipop sounds in my earphones and would like to use V4A.
I was actually wanting to post in this thread:

But it seems you are not allowed to post in that thread until you have posted at least 10 posts...which is great if you really only need to post in that one thread...
I urgently need to root the SHV-E330S, Build LRX22C.E330SKSUDOL4, that I just bought as right now it is rather useless to me...
I need to get rid of the Korean Telecom branding and make the phone understand that it is not in Korea anymore, and therefore not roaming...
But I cannot do that without it being rooted.
I checked everywhere, but I cannot find a CF-Auto-Root for that build.
I have the Recovery Image, which I was going to post in the above stated thread:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!At3VuFqpzytcgpRf36oYLgw_WPgCjA
That's a link to a OneDrive folder where I stored the Recovery Image.
Can anybody help me and possibly post a request for this in the above mentioned thread for me?
And does anybody have any further codes that allow me to find out whether I am up against a locked bootloader or not?
The codes I found so far did not work...
Or maybe someone has another idea how to find that out.
The phone has Knox installed, but it's a used phone anyway, so if warranty is void, then be it. It's one of the apps I then want to get rid of anyway.
Not sure if my phone has a flash counter.
Couldn't find out how to find that out either. Maybe someone has an idea on this one as well?
But that's only interesting with regards to warranty as well, I guess...so it does not really matter.
So, if anybody could help me in getting that CF-Auto-Root for my device and build?
And to find out whether my phone has a locked bootloader, that would be great...
Looking forward to your answers.
Kind regards,
Chris
I see there have been views. Is there nobody who could or would possibly help me?
Please?
I really need this CF-Auto-Root, but I cannot yet post in the corresponding thread.
It would be great if someone could help me out...
I very much hope that someone will have a heart and help me...
Alternatively, can anybody let me know how I can make a CF-Auto-Root myself?
Is there a program? Can I just exchange something in an existing root file?
Please, guys...I really need help...
If you have a custom recovery already, you can just flash SuperSu through it. No need for CF-Autoroot.
The bootloader won't be locked -- Korean variants of Samsung phones never are.

Hi there!
Thanks for answering, and sorry my own answer comes so late, I had some internet issues now as well...what a surprise...when there is one thing, more will happen.
But back to the issue.
First of all, thanks for the info regarding the bootloader very likely not being locked. VERY good to know.
As for the CF-Auto-Root not being needed:
It might be correct that I could probably root the phone having the recovery image only...problem is, I cannot.
I know how to root with a CF-Auto-Root, that's easy enough...but without a step-by-step guide, I don't know how to root without a CF-Auto-Root....
As for the link, I cannot see which build this is for? Only which device...and as this list
https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
which is supposed to be up to date, does not list my device with the requested build, but only with a different build, I am not sure the CF-Auto-Root in your link is the one I need.
And I don't want to completely brick my phone by using a root for a different build...
Do you by any chance have a step-by-step for me on how to root the phone without the CF-Auto-Root, when I have the recovery image?
Can Anyone Make A Video On Doing This Root Method? Or Possibly Just Helping Me Out. Had The 5.1 Lollipop And Used The Klickit Tool Which Then Unlocked Bootloader,Gave Me Twrp Which I Then Flashed SuperSu. Pretty Easy Right?Well I Was Given A Replacement Which Had 6.0 MM And I'm Completely Lost On How To Unlock Bootloader, Install TWRP Which Will Allow Me To Then Flash SuperSU If Someone Could STEP BY STEP Video That Would Mean A Lot And Give Me Some Better Understanding. Thank You For Your Time Everyone And I Appreciate All The Work And Everything I Have Been Learning On How To And Just In General On XDA!!!! I'm Currently On 6.0 MM The T-Mobile LgV10
It's very easy to do. Just Google Search how to unlock the bootloader on the V10. What model are you using? Is it a T-Mobile , Atat etc?

I have the t mobile variant. Every time I attempt to unlock it states it's unlocked but when I reboot the phone. Or does not inform me I'm unlocked like how it did when I had the 5.1 lollipop. Also then try and get twrp and root but no luck. Please give me a email or pm.
Hello. I have no clue how to root a Motorola. I'm used to Samsung. I know most of you think this is stupid, but I don't know how to root it. I have looked for it on google and either the tutorials suck or, well mostly they suck. I do want to use the stock ROM if that helps at all. But yeah, any answers will help, thanks, guys.

You will need to unlock the bootloader,
which is about 3 steps or so,
allow oem unlocking
get the device bootloader code
summit code to Motorola
receive unlock code via emai
send the code to the device
Then you can root
2 methods for that both using Magisk
Twrp method (if there's a Twrp recovery for your device)
Use Magisk app to patch the boot.img. then flash patched-boot.img
See links in
[Guide] Root Motorola with Magisk (UnLocked Bootloader)(Non-TWRP method)
Root Motorola Devices with Magisk Note: This method has been working with most Moto Devices that the Bootloader can be UnLocked. If the Bootloader cannot be Unlocked this method will not work. Please only use this as a reference. If you require...

If you use LMSA to get the stock firmware boot.img, be sure that LMSA has the same software version that is on your device.
It is possible that your device may have an OTA update that is not available Yet, there can be a couple of days delay for new firmware.
It's also possible that LMSA has a newer version than what is installed on your device, if that's the case you may want to update to new firmware before rooting.
For minor updates the boot.img should be compatible, if the android version changed you will need the correct boot.img
Thank you for your reply. I'm just wondering now how to get stock ROM?
