Testers needed - Verizon LG V10

Hi everyone,
Root is coming. Im getting my aboot back now and going to make a kdz. There is a huge chance that your phone could break so I'm really looking for somebody who is either under warranty or doesn't care about their v10 because they have a new phone. I can't do it because this is my daily phone and I don't have warranty. Any help would be great. Message below

If this phone was not my daily driver I would be all over this. Thanks for spearheading.

Count me in.

Looks like 26a security patch rolling out....

You have warranty or your highly aware that this hasn't been tested and if it fails it could be a complete brick?

So, nobody tested it yet?
What do you want to test?
Just the root?
TWRP?

both

I already had to return one a few months ago with the bootloop problem. Have access to Octopus Box too.

It's a tot that will give you TWRP to then root. But there is not guarantee this will work

dm me, let's chat over hangouts

Are you still in need of testing? I just got this V10 from Verizon as replacement for my 1st V10 bootlooping. Soooo I've got 90 days full warranty plus tmp if needed.
Let me know I'm down to test. I understand that I'll most likely create a brick or that I need to adopt that mindset as its a possibility. That's okay with me.

Hmmm I'm half tempted I have a few spare phones laying around just in case of brick.

I've no spare phones but not having root on the same phone I had root on is driving me a little insane. Factor in the possible bootloader unlock and it's potential and I don't care if I have to use a 15 dollar flip phone for awhile.
I'm just unaware of the testing situation. If its needed yet or not and if so if it's ready for testing???

I am looking for a copy of correct firmware too. If I can find it I will let you know, please do the same for me. My phone is not bricked but wanna have a backup plan before I start flashing anything. You can take your phone back and tell them the battery went dead and once you got it charged and turned it on it started doing this. CSpire employees are dumb, they won't know any better and will replace your device. I know from experience. I bricked my buddies Milestone X2 while trying to unlock it's bootloader. He took it to the store the next day and they replaced it for free.

Man are u serious!!!! lol Even with the binary counter?? Just my luck they will be like h#ll no "you must pay full price for a new device". I'v been thinking about trying that but just doesn't seem like it will work. I will definitely let you know if I find the firmware, I'm glad I kept my old phone might just wait until insurance kicks in and get a new one for 199$ if I havent found the firmware by then.

P769 won't get custom roms for a little while. We are still waiting on the jelly bean/bootloader unlock update, that came out in europe. I speculate that we will have all the custom roms that are available on p760 in about 1-2 months but there is no way to know for sure. But still a solid phone for the price (I got mine as a free upgrade when I renewed my contract) and the prepaid is $200 I believe.

People need very small procedures and quick solutions. The length of the guide could be the problem. They simply dont read it fully. I think the guide looks lengthy but the flashing and rooting is very simple and quick.
Sometimes they dont even explain what are problems.

Yes the guide is long but all u need to do is read fully thru a few times then follow instructions exactly as they are typed skipping nothing. I tried root one night and i was under the influence it took me so many tries i gave up but i sobered up read thru the guide again did it step by step and successfully rooted my phone. Ppl have to make sure they change their host files and reboot otherwise ur gonna get that lg server maintenance error which is what had me stuck until i changed my hosts file correctly

[Q] S4 woes

OK. I am going to provide as much detail as I can for now. Please let me know what additional information will help you help me. Thanks
I have a S4 for Verizon. I have been trying to root it so I can load the Google edition image on it. However, none of the tutorials I have seen seem to work on my device. I bought it brand new direct from Samsung off contract (didn't want to loose my unlimited data) so I don't think I can get a warranty replacement through Verizon (haven't rooted it yet). The furthest I seem to get is that SuperSU gets installed but will not download the binaries. So I cannot continue with the rest if the steps with rooting and re-imaging. Also, most steps have you install a specific kernal version as the first step but not sure if that is happening because my screen don't look the same as the ones in the tutorials.
Phone: SCH-1545
OS ver: 4.3
Kernal: 3.4.0
Build: JSS15J.1545VRUEMJ7
HW ver: 1545.06
Thanks.

No. Once the phone is updated, there is no way to go back.
As I stated above, all we can do is root. With root we can debloat and use Xposed framework to make some changes.

It's Verizon, they lock down every phone they sell. You have to do research before you buy your phone if you want custom software on Verizon, or switch carriers.

I know Verzon sucks in that regard but the service is awesome. I get full 4G coverage just about everywhere and I've got unlimited data still. Plus, I didn't buy it from them, I payed full price from an online vendor so that I wouldn't have to change my contract.
Oh well, guess I'll just have to keep an eye out for when someone finally cracks it.
I hate waiting....

H820 and Nougat Update ?

i'm planning to buy a new phone and this one is one of the choices ....
i'm outside US, and i knew that H820 is factory unlocked and their LTE bands are compatible with my region, also i knew it's and AT&T model IIRC..
one thing i didnt get is the unlocking code is giving after purchasing , and i dont know if it's easy or hard to use for someone outside US.
does it got N upgrade or not yet ? this is one of the important features i want and i'd feel bad if it's not upgraded till now -or sometimes in the future-
any other thing i should know bout?

No OEM unlock option in T-Mobile Samsung S9+?

I have a T-Mobile s9+ and for the life of me, I cannot get the OEM unlock button to show in Dev options. I've had my phone for over the 7 days, as I saw you need. I've even tried doing the "change the date manually and restart" trick and no luck.
Is there no option for the T-Mobile version of this phone and it's already OEM unlocked? Can I just go ahead and root my phone without issue? Or do I need to get that button before I can go ahead and root/install a new rom?
If you have the G965U, no you will not be able to unlock the boot loader.. My oppinon, is when all manufactures were done stealing ideas from dev's live here on XDA.. They decided they did not need them anymore and locked the phones down.

I mean the good thing about this method is that it doesn't unlock bootloader, so it doesn't trip knox. The bad thing about not unlocking bootloader is that you can't install custom kernels or recoveries.
