AT&T have a nasty habit of preventing the unlock of bootloaders, this was the same with the Galaxy S5 and by preventing the unlock of the bootloader you can't (In most cases) get root as by having your device rooted the bootloader can't verify the firmware when loading it

hey guys
i tried to unlock bootloader via motorola web site but it says my device does not qualify for unlocking
tried flashing recoveries, root zips and updated to official kitkat, but still does not work
phoned motorola support and they said motorola doesn't guarantee bootloaded getting unlocked, it depends on luck
any suggestion?
Moto XT1033 Dual 16gb BR
I had this problem too, but I checked all individuals characters of my code and deleted some spaces between them... After that check up everything worked like a charm !

Well first of all where does it say that the AT&T version is unlockable? I haven't seen anything about the AT&T version being unlockable. Just maybe the international versions.

It's NEVER been unlocked. It's called Loki and or patching or whatever it's called now days for the Roms to be able to work.
I know it's called Loki on the LG Pro.

AH. Well okay then, will rooting erase any of my apps or user data? Like the entire process to root? I just got this phone so I'd have to go through the entire process to root, whatever that involves.
Hey guys, I recently purchased an LG G3 AT&T Factory unlocked so other network carriers can be used. But when I click software update it already says I'm updated (CURRENTLY RUNNING LOLLIPOP 5.0.1) so I assume you need to have an AT&T sim card to update your software.
Is there like any way to bypass that so I can update my phone to android 6.0? If so how? and would I need to have it factory unlocked again?
I'm new to this, so detailed explanation would be deeply appreciated!
Cheers!

The AT&T model does not come factory unlocked. It's a carrier model and has to be manually unlocked. So if you bought it new it cannot be new as the seller would of had to open it to unlock it.
But no there is no other way to do OTA updates on it without an AT&T sim, go phone sim , or H2O prepaid sim.

Could I possibly download the official release rom and install it manually using a PC?

Yes but the latest is KitKat so you would be downgrading. Since its the AT&T model it's tot method only. And the latest tot file is kitkat.

No it wouldn't work with that.
H2O sims can be gotten for under $1 on Amazon or eBay. And you don't have to add money to activate them.

So if I got a used AT&T G3, I could buy an H2O sim, activate it, get the OTA Marshmallow update, the remove that sim and put in my CC sim? Even if I had to buy the $10 Paygo plan, it would be worth it

Yes you can. As long as the used G3 was not rooted you can OTA update.

Will an unlocked D850 receive the update or does it still have to be locked to AT&T? A lot of D850s on eBay are unlocked.

The unlocked ones will get the updates just fine. But you still will need an active AT&T sim or H2O sim to get the update.

Hey were you able to install marshmallow on at&t D850 by ordering H2O sim?
Please do mention when you inserted that sim then you were in H2O network range or overseas? (as I am in New Zealand)
and how did you manage to install after inserting sim?
Thanks for helping pal.

Actually, you should get OTA updates on Consumer Cellular. They are my carrier and I have received several updates on my AT&T G3, including one just today. New software version is now D85030p.

Word of caution. Be familiar with how to revert to KK using the tot method. I say this because if the phone has been rooted, and all that was done was uninstall the root app and factory reset, the phone may not take an OTA update as it will read the system as modified. Plenty of discussion on this here in the forums. Also keep in mind that there is no permanent root method for MM as of yet.

I bought a 2015 Moto G instead of the LG G3. Decided to go with something not quite so large and with manufacturer (as opposed to carrier) support for MM. After looking at them "in the flesh" I decided the G3 was a larger phone than I wanted. Thanks for your help.

Not sure why your posting in this thread, CM 13 is not stock or official firmware. You first need to ROOT your device.

Since the bootloader is locked on the Verizon model, no, there's no way to dual boot.
If there is a similar recovery like safestrap on the s3 (like you can't install on the recovery partition) then maybe you CAN dual boot.
And that is on a locked bootloader

I have LG G4 AT&T H810 running Android 5.1. I have not rooted it. It has all kinds of preinstalled bloatware about which I am not happy. I am looking to root the phone and install a minimum and smooth custom rom on it but a little research on Google and XDA Forums does not give about rooting and custom rom for LG G4 H810 variant so I am needing to ask in a post for same reason. Can someone who is using the same phone give me a good place to start and a link to well made custom rom. What are steps should I take before moving to install any other rom?
Sorry about title: G4 not G3.
Thank you to anyone who replies and helps this little guy.
Regards, Ahmad.
You can't install custom roms on the H810 variant, only on H815 and H811, because it requires to unlock bootloader and H810 can't be unlocked.

All I can say is wow, nice work :good: this is fantastic
AOSP does not boot up after i flashed in H810( I unlocked USU). Please advice me any other Abdroid 7 or 8 Rom. It will be great if you just link me for the ROM for H810.
