Turned on Dev Mode, OEM Unlocking and Debug Mode
Adb devices works
adb reboot bootloader boots into the phone; not the boot loader
For the life of my I've tried to boot into bootloader directly and can't get it -- So can't run any fastboot commands to see if it is locked or not.
Anyone know how to get into the bootloader? Holding Power and Volume Down and then releasing power at the LG screen doesnt work. Holding them down without letting go just keeps rebooting the phone. Hold Volume UP, Volume Down and Power gets me IMEI information.
Maybe try holding power, up and down? maybe see if adb connects on the imei info and see if you can run the reboot command from there?

Same
adb reboot recovery gets me into recovery
adb reboot download gets me into download
fastboot from IMEI Page doesnt work
If I hold power and volume down, wait for LG logo, let go of power real quick (while still holding volume down) and press power again it gets me to "factory data reset"; not typical bootloader menu.
Still trying...
If ADB reboot fastboot yeilded nothing then it's locked down
I'm going to assume no oem unlock?
May still be too soon if it's unlocked.

? Why would it be too soon? ADB flash commands either work or they don't.
I understand someone has to test, just to make sure -- but you should assume all "major carriers"-branded LG V30 will be locked down. Even T-mobile has succumbed. With the T-mobile LG G6 earlier this year, you could unlock the bootloader, but T-mobile/LG removed all other flash commands. Like having the keys to the car, but there's no car.
Go read this if you haven't. It explains how having ONLY bootloader unlock is useless.

As a result, (probably) only the U.S. and European carrier unlocked versions of LG V30 will have real bootloader unlock, and be added to LG's bootloader unlock list for developers -- just like the LG G6. I would be glad to be wrong about this.
Of course, the wild card would be exploits devs may find... But with official carrier unlocked versions available, devs don't need to look for exploits.

Honestly, carrier unlocked phones are almost just as unfair to consumers as locked bootloaders in the first place. For those of us who can't afford paying for an unlocked phone all at once, it locks us in a position where we have to bow down to the carrier or stick to a 4 year old phone. I'm forever grateful to the devs who are in similar situations and try to find exploits on carrier phones, but I'm so disappointed that by having a carrier unlocked phone, it leaves many of us in an even worse situation. Just hoping for a miracle.

Let's just say that a kernel and userland exploit comes quickly and allows root access.
Could we dd a TWRP build to the recovery partition? Does the phone need signed firmware or is it simply a crippled fastboot?

You need a signed firmware, so no TWRP.

I have a touchmate mid 725 and i have dumped the rom. I have uploaded to the cwm builder and got 4 files in return but i dont know what to do with these files. I have searched everywhere but nothing.

What am i supposed to do?
And also i dont know how to boot into my stock recovery. I am not a noob. But this thing just wont boot. Has 3 buttons - power, volume up and down - When i hold these in any combination, the tablet wont boot at all. When i just power, it powers on normally.

First thing is that your bootloader must be unlocked before flashing the recovery. For flashing you must adb on your PC. Then open your phone in fastboot mode. And type the following command from terminal or shell(windows) :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
And for booting into recovery I'll suggest holding volume down + power.
But whatever the first thing is to unlock the bootloader.

The method to unlock the bootloader is specific to what company's phone you own. And even some company's don't provide a method to unlock the bootloader. In that case there's only a little modifications that could be done on your phone.
Search at google/xdayour tablet) unlock bootloader.Unlocking bootloader is the first thing you should concentrate on.

Yes. It's better to contact the company. But I suppose there won't be any way to unlock the bootloader.
Hi. My sons HDX is stuck in fastboot mode. Amazon support only offered him a discount to replace it. I thought maybe I could do something to wake it up or reflash it but from what I'm reading this is a difficult device. I have been able to get it to respond to the fastboot reboot command in linux but nothing else. This device has never been rooted/flashed/modded and I don't know how it got this way. Is there anything I can do at this point besides throw it away?
Thanks.
when you are at the fastboot screen...
press the power button for 10-20 sec. and it will shut down...
than try to power it on again.... (try it with unplugged usb)
maybe this helps...
If possible, I would unlock the bootloader and then try this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22077057&postcount=11

Just thought this means the HDX is on 4.5.2(3)
thanks for the responses. I have tried rebooting the device many times with or without usb plugged in. I've held the power button for 25 seconds until it starts rebooting again. It always boots to a gray kindle fire logo and says fastboot. I've tried the fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000 command but it says the hw is locked. From what Ive read, the bootloader cant be unlocked right?

Do you recall the firmware level (eg: 3.2.6; 4.5.2)?
Edit: After shutting down (completely off) have you tried power+volume up to access Amazon's crippled recovery? From there you might be able to initiate a factory reset.
i have tried to power it on with different button combinations. I can only get to the same fastboot screen.
oh and I have no idea what firmware it was on.

Yeah, it was a long shot. At this point you may be hosed unless someone knows of a way to recover in fastboot given the state of your device (locked, unrooted, version unknown). Might want to try Amazon again. A different rep may be more accommodating. Sorry, mate.
Hey,
apparently I'm not the only one with this issue,
If you bought European 32 gb version just like me (Czech Republic and Germany seems to have this problem) you are not able to access bootloader. Adb commands won't work, not ever buttons combinations.
Is there any fix to that yet?
Before you ask, yes i have proper USB drivers, PTP, OEM and USB debugging is on as well.

As far as I understand, everybody has this issue.
Only TMobile varient H901 has an unlockable bootloader and can access it.

Do you think that this will change? Or it's like this forever after?... :/
I have no idea. There's a bounty for root access for att and verizon variants. Hopefully this will apply for our device as well.
Don't understand why LG is so applish (yes I said it, LG behave like Apple and it's close garden philosophy)
XDA don't take kindly to such manufacturers
Even Samsung almost always lets us choose how to use OUR devises
I doubt this will change when the marshmallow update comes in
No update yet?
Nope, still the same :/ - it sucks a lot. :/
A very good device but a dead silent thread Such a shame...
Any news ?

ADB commands are working fine on my v10 H960 64gb, but when typed "adb reboot bootloader" it just rebooted the device as normal reboot.
H960A , H960ATR, H960TR NO FASTBOOT MODE Adb commands won't work
I regret that i sold my note 5 and bought v10 europe , no root , no development

I have LG-H960a too (Czech, 32GB version of LG V10).
Im stucked as you guys.
Any (hold power+up/down) button mode will NOT work here. But what works is:
reboot with adb to recovery, hold DOWN button --> green android with red [!]
power off, hold UP button, plug in cable (autopower on, no need to press power button) --> download mode / firmware updates
At both cases NONE fastboot command will work (or my drivers are really mes up). I still cant unlock OEM, flash recovery or get root.
Maybe this will help, maybe not.
What about any king of exploit method to get root? Keep me posted. Thanks
EDIT: Also works to turn off, hold POWER and DOWN until LG logo shows up, then release POWER and push POWER again. This will get me into factory recovery screen (white, selectable with up/down). Fastboot dont work there either (for me).

Hello dear all,
I have managed to brick my LG G5 like an Old Mill Brick.
My LG G5 (lg g5 h850 titan) does not boot. It comes with an error message as follows: Your device is corrupt. It cannot be trusted and will not boot.
What I already did to Unbrick:
Tried to unlock the OEM. No way from USB Debugging as I cannot go into OS.
Tried unlock the OEM from fastboot (remote: oem unlock is not allowed).
Tried to flash some things like (boot.img, system.img) even adb sideload stuff. Nothing works. I cannot flash anything because (flashing not allowed) because OEM is not unlocked, but cannot unlock the OEM because it is not allowed. WHAT in the brick do I have to do now?
Cause of the brick of the bricks:
The LG G5 was on LineageOS, all stable and solid. When a prompt appeared telling me that I have to update the OS. So I was like yeah ok whatever. BUT, it did from OTA. I also had a specific LineageOS APP for updating the OS. After some minutes (updating) I immediately panic and started worrying. BECAUSE, I knew what time it was (my device is dead). I wanted to turn my phone off but it was already in Recovery (TWRP). So I just hit cancel. BUT after booting up the LG G5 that corrupt device error appeared and I cannot manage to get rid of it.
Please I need your help! I also watched and tried (2+ hours) to manage to solve this via Google and different links and Unbrick guides but nothing happens. I cannot unlock the OEM because it is not allowed. I cannot flash anystuff because the OEM is not unlocked.
Update: So, there is no Recovery System present. No stock Recovery, No TWRP. And I think no OS either. So only thing that is present is the bootloader screen smh.
Can you still get to TWRP?

No If I hold the volume down button and Power and when the LG Logo appears I release the power off and press again nothing happens. It goes again into that error. I can go in bootloader but can't do anything with adb or fastboot.
I think TWRP is gone too :/
You should be able to get into download mode. Hold the volume up button with phone fully powered down. While you hold the volume up button insert the usb cable. Then you can flash the full system kdz with LGUP

After unlocking bootloader, you can enter fastboot mode. Means if bootloader is locked then you can enter only recovery.
you can go to fastboot mode by pressing Vol Down and Power Button but it needs the bootloader unlocked. so, first unlock that

Yes, after unlocking Bootloader or after applying in Deep Test apk you can enter FastBoot mode. Without unlocking bl there is no way to access fastboot mode. Only recovery is accessible.

Well, Who tf tries to go to fastboot mode without unlocking bootloader in the first place?and I'm not a new member. I'm one of the lead developers of Realme mt6771 development team.

Its just Common sense. You can't open a door without unlocking it.
