Will the amount of development improve for the G5 in general for all variants?
I believe so, yes
What I'm wondering is how similar the Canadian model is to it. Or how much difference between the h831 and h830 there really could be.

pretty much the same in hardware.. but the entire bootstack is different. what works for tmobile would not work for H831. H831 is in the same boat as the ATT, Verizon and other locked variants. not possible to use the tmobile bootstack on non-tmo phones either.

apparently.. check out the tmobile g5 development section.. there's a TOT made that flashes TWRP on your devices.. works as long as you unlock the bootloader thru fastboot first.
Can some one send me the link to the t mobile lg g5 flash twrp please

for EU H850 devices that do not pass through LG's Bootloader Unlock Developer page... the only hope is for you all to contact LG and continuing to contact/complain until they either give you a valid reason why some H850 EU variants do not work when 95% of them do... and hopefully they will add your variant/buyer-type to the unlock program officially.

So is there a downloadable kdz for v20d on p769? If not why not
there isn't one, and no one knows exactly why at the moment. perhaps it's because they figured out how we were rooting the phone and are locking down the kdz so we can't do it. Also, the full kdz would probably come with the ability to unlock the bootloader, and t-mobile certainly doesn't want that.

I recently bought a Cricket Version XT1527 that is not allowed for bootloader unlocking. From what I've read you can flash other signed roms. However, I recently bricked one trying this. I think it is because I started with the 5.1 rom which seems to hose things up. Therefore, two questions before I try this again.
1. Can I flash my locked bootloader cricket to the sim unlocked variant (no carrier) 5.0.2 rom with no problems?
2. When it gets the 5.1 update, will it install without any issues?

was this the 2015 moto e? I didn't think there was a go phone version.
Also, did anything screw up? Did parts of it successfully flash? Or did it just deny everything and stay with stock?
You can't do it. Trying it would likely brick your phone. Look, to flash a Unlocked SIM firmware, you'd need to have your bootloader unlocked, as it'd be a different firmware than yours, and the phone doesn't let you flash alien firmware if your bootloader is unlocked.
For Cricket users, there's no way to flash any firmware other than Cricket one.

And they make the bootloader unlockable so you CAN'T unlock the SIM, stuff like this should be illegal.

Just saw a video on the Verizon v10 root via tungkick, and didn't see that they unlocked bootloader, and on startup screen didn't show unlock bootloader. Wondering if we (tmobile v10) could do the same using LGUP and a tot file. Do we even have a tot file available for tmobile? And big props to tungkick.

Sorry for the dump question, but what is TOT??
I have been reading articles with that and I can figure out what it means...
I am expert with htc but not with Lg devices, actually this is my first lg phone... [emoji60]

I'm pretty sure OP is talking about the .TOT files in the newly revealed root method for Verizon V10 devices, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ic-add-rootsystem-tot-vs990-tungkick-t3336345
If you can root both the Verizon and AT&T variants using the .TOT method, I'm confident to go out on a limb and say that it's possible for the T-Mobile variant as well. The only question is... why? Rooting will void your warranty anyways, so whether or not the unlocked bootloader message is displayed doesn't matter outside of your personal preferences.
If this is something that people want, I'd suggest contacting Tungkick.
Yeah there's no sense our variant having this root method....BUT that's just me.
Also trying to figure out why we'd need this method...

TOT files most likely mean TOTal files, containing contiguous raw dumps of specific areas of the flash memory which stores your firmware.
They can also be written in most devices without restrictions using the mmcblk0 method with the proper "seek" and "count" parameters.
If you explore them with a hex editor, you will find plenty of interesting "things", normally not found in stock files ( like DZ, KDZ, etc.)
Fun stuff...

I'm confused too as Tungkick already has provided a rooting solution for 6.0 on T-Mobile.

In order to flash any of the ROMs you'll find here on this forum you'll need to have an unlocked bootloader, which I believe is only available on the H850 European model of the G5. I haven't seen any posts on a successful unlock for the Verizon, which I believe is the VS987 and not the H850.
