From skimming the threads I don't really see any custom ROMS. I unlocked my bootloader, and thinking about rooting it but what can I actually achieve buy doing so? I have the US unlocked version and there's not much bloatware that I can't uninstall or disable... Can someone give me a good reason to root? I'm open to it just not seeing a whole lot of benefit.

Before starting rooting your OnePlus Nord N20 5G smartphone, you must first ensure that you meet the following requirements: Make sure that the OnePlus Nord N20 5G’s bootloader is unlocked. You will not be able to root your phone unless you complete this step. You’ll need to download and install TWRP Recovery on your OnePlus Nord N20 5G device

Bootloader is unlocked. I'm basically asking if it's even worth the trouble; I don't see any ROMS and I have the US unlocked retail version.

I traded in my iPhone 13 at BestBuy for an unlocked Pixel 7. The guy was like WHY? And just said I was bored with it. It only cost me $140 with trade in. Apple makes great phones, but you're too restricted in the sandbox called IOS. You can have more fun tinkering with Android.
I'm really seeing the value in the n20 long-term it has a SD card slot and I just can't use a phone without one
I have a iPhone repair business https://www.mrmobilerepairsc.com/
I don't have any sorry, but I just found a tool for swift on GitHub I'll try and see if I can do it.

I live in Syria and all we have limited options for phones so I was very excited to learn that a xiaomi dealer started selling a couple of models one of them being the Redmi Note 3 specially with my 4 years old Nexus 5 battery almost dying so I payed 200$ to buy this phone which is A LOT of money here only because I noticed how much Roms and Mods it has and now after about 10 days of buying it I still get the error when trying to unlock the boot loader at 50% "Current account is different from the account info on the device" even after trying all the tutorials I found about turning gps and find my phone and locating the phone on the map and using the developer Rom still the same result.
I really really need root and having the phone without even the ability to root makes it unusable but selling the phone will lose me most of the price since the brand is unknown in my country so I have to sell for much less than what I bought for
I'm writing this just to ask the xda people is there ANY way at all to save me from selling the phone because I like it but I just can't be without root I'm willing to pay money just please any solution
if there's nothing I'll just sell and probably never buy a Xiaomi product again in my life I know Xiaomi doesn't care but I just had to say it because I'm so angry
You don't need root to have the opportunity to install custom roms all you need is unlocked bootloader. I guess you tried unlock bootloader by official method and it doesn't work for you, so try unofficial method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/method-miui-8-unlock-bootloader-twrp-t3529458 (with youtube video step by step)

Salam brother, im sorry for whats going on in syria...
You should unlock it unofficially, because i have been doing it too.
Have you flashed the developer rom from the updater app? (from the phone itself)
You first need to have this rom on the device in order to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe all your phone's data.
@mshtob You have to wait 7 days more after getting unlock permissions. Unofficial version have some flaws,do read more about it. I recommend you to go back locked bootloader after 1month then try unlocking official way. Also when unlocked unofficially, do cross check before flashing firmware as some firmwares lock device. It will create more problems for u.
Regards
Stop getting mad like an underage kid my friend, you just need to unlock your bootloader officially being in a official ROM and it works without problems because I didt it a lot of times in different versions with the official method.
If you don't like Xiaomi don't buy their phones. Also 200 dollars isn't a lot, you will pay a lot of stuff in your life. Phones are a need, not a toy to install custom roms. If you like to test ROMs and stuff I encourage you to test with your Nexus 5 or get another Nexus/Motorola.
I also have a Nexus 5 btw.
After unlock unofficially you have to delete EMMC appsboot. bin in firmware update folder in any miui rom with the help of RAR App from play store, which relock your phone. And use this patched twrp

Unlocked versions is about the carrier is unlocked meaning it doesn't have a carrier/plan locked with it. It doesn't mean it have an unlocked bootloader. If you really want a unlocked bootloader phone in 2020, get OnePlus or Xiaomi, they are more dev friendly.
Also, with LG's history of supporting developers, this will not likely to get unlocked bootloaders later.

I think Motorola is dev friendly too. My friend say they give everything to root her phones. ??
I don't think someone will find a way to root the LG phones after the V30 model. My old phone before my new G8x was the V30 and it was complex to root, so I don't know for the most recent models ??*
I downloaded Treble info from play store and this is what I get;

Yea, you are right. But you guys won't get unlcoks and root anyway because you know LG's history. But it is a possibility that LG might allow that 1-2 years later.
Can we unlock the bootloader on the G8x with this method?

It seem that this tutorial from LG work with the LG G7. But, I wonder if it work on the most recent model.

You don't need network signal guru. There's some secret code that you can get from a simple google search to get into the secret field test menu. It gives all the network related info and let's you lock on to specific 4g bands as well.
LG supports G850EMW for G8X as well as V50s. I already received unlock.bin.
A bigger problem is extracting boot.img from the stock ROM. The latest LG KDZ Extract tool is from 2014 and doesn't handle the new DZ format.
Using the 'KSZ extractor for new format KDZs' by runningnak3d I could extract boot.img from a G850EMW20a ROM (Android 10). This will allow systemless root with Magisk.

Since your looking for a root for your game you may want to start by planting the seed from game guardian and water it everyday til it grows a root for you. You will know it's ready for harvest when it sprouts jelly beans, KitKats, marshmallows, nougat, etc.. AND red velvet cake. If u let it go too far it may sprout a snow cone and then your root is no good so make sure to pluck the root before the snow cone appears

Hello all,
I plan to get a OnePlus 10T soon UNLOCKED model.
What are my prospects for installing a custom ROM now or in the future? I had a OP 9 a few months ago & only had it for a short time.
Regards

We don't have a MSM tool which would allow us to restore the device from bricking... Until there is an alternative method to recover.... We might not see the custom ROM development.... Thanks to the OP becoming OPPO (or vice versa) and the greedy mindset of blocking stuff...OP is no longer dev friendly but yet another ******* company
How long would it take? It's a really powerful device

So you didn't flash the entire stock rom? Just the boot image? It is not clear.
For unbricking entire rom is usually needed so I was looking for examples of a full stock rom flash.
I am also looking for a stock version for CPH2417... payload.bin would be amazing.
I softbricked (bootloop) and had to use the CPH2413 (India) software (not good)
