There are guides everywhere including the first page of the dev thread.

And yes there is always a chance you will brick your device and it will never work again. The guides work for every version except the B80 and some B70s.

what are the chances? and why its happen ?
thanks for the help

The chances are different for everyone. Depends on how well you follow directions and still there is no guarantee. Either do or don't do

Wouldn't it be enough to flash a stock rom which is not pre-rooted?
Anyways you can't re-lock the bootloader so it'll never be "like brand new"
But neither I have an idea of how to do it
Just wanted to let you know, what my thoughts are and see, if you knew, that bootloader can't be re-locked

But I was thinking I could do something like this: (Can´t post website....) Anyway I searched for "How To Unroot and Remove CWM Recovery on Asus Transformer". He unroots his transformer tf100 with two files.
The problem is that I need other files than he uses. Where can I find these files?

There are unroot tools in the play store

Flash stock rom with twrp and it will remove root and replace twrp with stock recovery.
Select your stock rom based on your bootloader. JB rom for JB bootloader and ICS rom for ICS bootloader.

Help with new Texco Moto G

OK I just bought on contract a 16GB Moto G. Very happy so far. It downloaded the new 4.4.2 Kitkat. Can't see any difference.
It is locked to Tesco.
My question is, what steps do I now take to get root access and install CWM?
Do I need to unlock the phone first?
Any advantages in using one of the new Mods?
Any other advice welcome. I just know how to follow instructions...:fingers-crossed:
thanks

Already answered hundreds of times in other threads. Do some reading.

Use search. But do it in the following steps. Unlock the boot loader, then install a custom recovery, then root.

can we get our Mods to move this to the proper forum? (and also clean up some of the non development posts on this page)

Moved Here as this does not belong in the Dev Sections. Thanks.

To root and get CWM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2585242
** just follow from Now, if you want root, **
Don't forget to thank those who made the guides.

If you ask these questions which are already answered dozens of times i recommend you to read more first before you do anything. Otherwise your next question will be how "to make a phone out ouf my brick?".

OK. Sorry. I get you guys. I just thought maybe the Tesco version might need some different approaches. Actually it is quite hard to find a simple list of "things to do" with your phone, tablet whatever or simple steps you need to follow. Of course the details are more complex. I wasn't sure if I needed to unlock the phone or could do rooting on a locked phone. Maybe each device forum category should have a simple sticky just like that for us non-techies who just follow the instructions without really understanding what is going on.
Also I was half asleep and I see there is actually an excellent introduction. Deaf, dumb and blind...

[Q] Locked Bootloader ROMS

Hi,
First of all i would like to apologize to everyone on this section since i am really not good with sony.
So i have a device which has a locked bootloader that cannot be unlocked. As the title says i am looking for custom roms or rooted roms with bootloader locked. As much as possible i have searched the development thread but cant find any.
So can anyone give me a link or something of a recommended rom for locked bootloader?
Thanks

As far as i know, that i've observed here, Revolution HD is the most popular (the one made by yash989)
Being stuck to locked bootloader sucks, my friend's SP is locked by carrier. i understand the feeling :/

This is not the right place to ask for help with this... Check out the "guide" section... And ask questions In " Questions & Answers" section.
I think this is best method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-root-twrp-lg-v20-using-dirtysanta-t3722278
Others use h915 kdz.
Please refrain from posting on this thread again. It will make me regret helping.
Don't forget to thank people who help you in the thread with thanks button. Specially if the guide they made helps a ton. Note this will get rid of at&t software. I think there is way too restore it still but I have not checked for a while.

this is helpful

Is there any current way to unlock the bootloader on the LG V20 H910 with AT&T's latest firmware release? AT&T has locked diown the bootloader, and with LG no longer in the cell phone game, they aren't able to provide the OEM bootloader unlock code as well. A few people have also mentioned that the Dirty Santa no longer works on these devices. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

At least did you try to follow the instructions available? According to this post from October-2022 it worked on H910 AT&T.

Yes. I tried it and its useless. Struggling to find a bootloader unlock process that actually works for the H910.

You are looking for help, because you don't know how to solve it. So we as a community need a little bit of cooperation from everyone to be able to understand if it's a limitation/roadblock of the method, or if you are doing something wrong for whatever reason.
So posting: "don't work", "it's useless" and anything like that not only don't help but discouraging others who read this threads. Tell the problem/error that you encounter.
I found another user who said that he flashed dirtysanta directly and once have TWRP he worked around it the downgrade flashing necessary.
As last resort you can swap the motherboard for one that is vulnerable for the exploit.
But if you wanna some one-click "I don't wanna have trouble" solution, I'm sorry that I can't provide that.

I have a clients device that needs to be updated, hence the search to unlock the bootloader and then update the device. The posts I come across, even new ones seem to be reposts of others work from before LG shut down their bootloader unlocking service, so ehen you follow their steps they don't work at various steps. I've been updating devices as far back as Android 1.5 and for some devices its a struggle to update them at all. Replacing the pcb isn't an option right now as the customer won't pay for it. Hence I scour various websites and forums for solutions as other post their success/failure in doing the same on this device. Too often I find people posting about updating their devices, only to find that they either already had their bootloader unlocked before LG shutdown their service to do so, or they just don;t reply to a PM about their process, hence they're fake posts, or old posts from years prior being reposted for no valid purpose. The amount of tim I spend to update peoples devices and test custom ROMs is actually fruitless in terms of money paid, but more for me to keep devices out of the landfills whenever possible. Every time I mod a device I make and keep notes, as well as the files used, stored on one of my NAS as I know I'll be doing it again in the future, including properly and fully testing custom roms to determine if they're actually working properly, or exactly what their issue(s) is(are), and I keep finding a plethora of bugs and issues with too many custom ROMs being pumped out before proper testing. I routinely turn down some device update requests when update steps are convoluted, fractured or even requirements are no longer valid. I'll keep looking around and trying various methods as I come across them. Thx.

No problems, I feel for you because I like to keep people using devices that otherwise would be discarded without real needs.
