In settings go to about phone then software info.

Bootloader u1,2,3 can be rooted. U4 and 5 can't.

thanks for the info.
is there a way to roll back the bootloader ?

No unfortunately theres not and the dev who was working on a patch for U4,5... root has moved on. Only way is to buy a exynos model or ask a retailer to look at bootloader versions before buying to ensure U1,2,3

thanks pal

Forgive my stupidity. I can see how to get the info, but exactly which one is the boot loader version? Seeing as there as nothing that specifically says bootloader, I’m confused. The only “U” I see is in multiple reference to the N950U1. Is that the BL version? As in I have version 1? Thanks in advance.

Did you ever get an answer on where on that screen the bootloader ver is? I may just as stupid but there is very few places there is a U. On my screen I have a U_8, U_S but nothing with U# ????

Nope, not a peep. Must be some sort of National secret.

Look at baseband version in software information under phone info in settings.
Bootloader (BL) version is 5th digit from right:
In my case baseband is N950U1UES5CRG9, so my BL version is 5.

N950USQS5CRK1 is bootloader version 5, right?

Yes

I still don't follow. Exactly where in the software info section do I find the bootloader version number?

Hello, My baseband version is N950FXXS8DSK1. So my bootloader version is 8?. I thought there are five versions. How it can be 8?

There was an update July 1st or so. But yea..........I accidentally updated not paying attention. Still haven't been able to determine if the new safestrap method of rooting will work with bootloader V8 on the N950U variant. Certainly hope so!!!!

There's more than 5. I'm on 7 now: N950USQS7DTE5

Go software information. Find "check for updates" something. Accept the update and wait your phone to download update. After download finished just reboot and after 5-10 min later your sense 6 update will be ready

Yep.
mind posting the baseband and bootloader version?
Any word if this enables band 12 support? And if you have TWRP already can you flash everything but the recovery image and be fine?

bootloader: v2.45

Do you happen to know the kernel version? Is it the same or newer from the 6.0.0 factory image. thanks.
Does the mdb08k boot.img from here work?
Or should we use another boot.img before rooting this?
This might be slightly off topic but a little bit on topic. Google released MMB29N before MMB29M. I always assumed that was supposed to be in order M before N. Did they mess up or is that correct?

help to unlock au isai lgv31 sfa

i want to unlock the sim of my phone, details are as [email protected]
AU ISAI LG V31 (JAPAN) android smartphone..
Hardware and software info are as below
MODEL NO: LGV31
HARDWARE VER: REV.1.1
IMEI NO: 354470061761208
ANDROID VER: 4.4.2
BASEBAND VER: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1.13-00044-M8974AAAAANPZM-2
KERNEL VER: 3.4.0
BUILD NO: KVT49L.LGV3110f
SOFTWARE VER: LGV3110f..
my relative from japan has purchased lg g2 previously which was sim locked. so he bought a unlock code for couple of dollars and unlocked it.
.
to do that, you need to find a hidden menu in which u will be able to insetr the unlocking codes(may be by pressing #* and*number combinations)
.
*but in. au isai lg v31. we can not find that hidden menu in which he code is to be fed. i have searched and came to know*that hey have remove that part in an firmware update.
.
so one solution is that we downgrade the firmware and buy code and insert it. or we root it. (i dont know, whether rooting solve problem or not and i also havent found perfect solution to do that)
.
*or we might check on internet that which is the latest update available for au isai lg v31 and check is there that hidden*menu present in that firmware or not
Calling out for help!
I have this model and it happened the same. On firmware versions below LGV3110f the network is unlocked and you can access the hidden menu. When trying to go through the unlocking process com.lge.hiddenpersomenu all 5 options show "Your phone is not personalized." I've read in many threads that this means the network is unlocked, however I still see the "Phone is SIM Network Subset locked" message when I put my SIM card (Optus in Australia). So this means that the lock is done by software. I am currently running LGV3120h firmware with Android 5.0.2.
Does anyone know if there is a compatible CyanogenMod build we could use? I am trying to flash the d855 international version and see if I'm lucky.
Any help would be appreciated!!

The phone itself should be unlocked, no need to input any codes just insert the SIM card and reboot the phone. Don't do any more OTA updates or your phone will be locked by software again!

Glad that it worked :good:
Not that I could found any compatible ROMs yet. CM does not support our model. I tried using the international version but the recovery mode won't let me install the rom.
I wish someone out there had a better ROM for this phone! Let me know if you find anything.

this also means that, once this update is released, at least for the unlocked S7, we won't be able to downgrade to marshmallow or nougat . I assume samsung is doing this so remaining s7 users are forced to stay on oreo forever

I'm sure this is just coincidence, but I've been trying to get a Sprint S7 working properly on T-mobile's network and was communicating with both T-mobile and Samsung support all last week, advocating for both of them to increase their bootloader version. In particular, I think it makes sense for the 930U to always match or exceed the highest carrier version. I'm not sure if there's any substantive difference among bootloader versions, but that way users would always have the freedom to switch carriers. (The 930P often fails to make calls on T-mobile's network, since it doesn't support VoLTE).
This should probably drop around mid-November based on past updates and codes.
I have bootloader version 7 I think if it goes by the 5th number. I keep getting fuse errors when I try to flash this phone and I've never flashed anything before.

Sounds like you are trying to flash a firmware that isn't b7. This would result in the fuse error.

Ahh OKay I figured mine was 7 because I'm on Oreo and my PDA: G930PVPS7CRH2. IM on the sprint variation and I'm just stuck at this point. I rooted my moto 4 plus the first day I tried which is a snapdragon as well. This Odin things tricky though. I guess I can't get the new xposed either then unless it's possible to install without flashing. I really would appreciate anyones help thanks ?

I'm not sure about xposed, but if you're stuck with your phone in a non-functional state after trying to install a lower bootloader firmware, you can always re-flash the latest stock sprint firmware.

Question What is rolled back on miui updates?

Too much bugs.
I didn't experienced this. but as I understanding it shows you which version of miui or model that's can downgrade to previous update with locked bootloader.
Because You can't flash older miui versioi through fastboot with locked bootloader only if it has rollback feature.
anyway you can contact directly with xiaomi support services for confirming.
