H960A TOT & Rooting - LG V10 General

Hi Folks
I will be purchasing the H960A TOT very soon with Root as Mockhi have confirmed they can root the FW and I can flash with LGUP. It maybe a week until I can get it but once I have purchased it, If people want it then I will share.
If anybody wants it please let me know. As we know the H961N has been rooted via this method.

Will it work with the upcoming Marshmallow update?

The TOT they provide will be lollipop...

I understand that the root will be done on 5.1.1
Will we be able to upgrade to 6.0?
Will we be able to keep the root on 6.0?
If answer is No to both questions, will we be able to revert root and upgrade to 6.0 without root?
Sure I want root, want it a lot... I also want to be able to get 6.0 when available

That is wonderful news, thanks!
It's indeed kinda disappointing that V10 still not getting 6.0 before March (it was rumoured that it could get it as early as december) and root coming just so late in a "pro" phone but even if it means stucking with 5.1.1 for a while, root is great.

Total cost they say is 25 GBP = 280 HK$... Im willing to pay that, however if anybody wants to donate to help cover the partial cost, i really dont mind

Oh, BTW that is 960A? Which is the 32GB variant?
I thought it's the regular international version of 960.

It is, the 960A is the international variant.

Is it? 64 GB one?
Mine is H960TR (TR being the country variant) for instance. Are you sure that 960A applies as the same? (minus country specific stuff, of course)

960A is a different model im afraid. Its the international variant that is being sold. It is the 32Gb edition.

I am also interested, and i can send you 5 GBP via paypal.

Can it be used for H960AY?
If so 5$usd from me

Pretty sure that is the guy who ripped off @i42o I would be very careful.

Yes it was the same company but they supplied the H961N... And besides is £25, and its a risk im willing to take
Paypal Link created under "Donate To Me" - Ill be purchasing this by next week...
I suspect its a H960A only, if it wont work with your device, LGUP will tell you when you go to flash it (I tested it before)

Donated 8 usd, my transaction id 25A46614DH9129236

I'm sorry to say but those who are taking the risk of donating to a person without the proof of the existence, I'd beware of such situations, no matter who it may be. At least at H961N, BlueEffect proved it before asking for donations.

I agree, I asked Them on FB to double check on this. They have confirmed they can do this and even then its not much. If someone wishes to donate then they can, but they dont have to. But i will be purchasing this week and ill test it. Should it not work then any donations will be refunded and ill take the hit.
Ive been on XDA long enough to know that this is for the benefit of the community and not for my own personal gains.

Ive been trying to get the TOT of them but they seem to just be ignoring my messages :/
Any ideas? I have also asked BlueEffect how he got it.

Ive refunded your donation until I get it

2 possibilities
1) They do not have the file.
2) They do not want to send the file to you so that you cannot share the file with other people. They may only flash the TOT for people who take phones to the shop.

*****hspl***** is there support for it anymore?

Is there any other way to contact Olipro or Cmonex and the other involved that made the program? Yes I PM them, I submitted two tickets on there help site & I sent e-mails but no response from anybody? It's telling me if I want to use it for commercial use etc.... I paid three times already but I still cant unlock my replacement TP2 from sprint

Wow that's a bit ridiculous. You would think they would at least send you something. Hopefully they get back to you!!
Just wondering, is it saying you have already downloaded for your IMEI?

It's telling me that if I want to use use it for commercial use etc.... So it then recommends if I donate (pay, which I did twice) I can use instantly, then I comply and it does not work....that same error comes up every time now, and I refuse to keep paying and it won't work!
Woah. Okay so you go to the website. This one I assume?
http://rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com/
Go all the way down and leave the donation at 14 (that's what I did), put in your IMEI and you hit buy with paypal or google checkout?

Oh...ok, you paid for the radio & HSPL! I only paid for the HSPL it the same site and I went through paypal to pay for it! And when paying only for the HSPL it doesn't send you a link, they track you some how and after you pay it should work, but this is where the dilemma begins for me!!
Ohhh I see now. With as many times as I'm sure you paid, you would have been better off with the full package. It was about $21 for me through paypal and you hard spl, security unlock, and the radio unlock. Why don't you just do that?

Because i still have my payment receipt, so I dont wont to pay and the same problem happens again!
Well if you get the full package they send you a download link directly to your email then you go from there. Simple. But that is logical.
I understand if you buy the full package then you'll get full use out of it without it telling you that you already unlocked etc... but see, the thing is, he already paid.... 3 times. Why should he have to pay MORE? They should at least give him a working unlocker or at least help him remedy his problem. It don't sound like their support is all that. This program is too buggy and has too many problems with it.

I totally agree. I was speaking in a sense of possibly getting his money back for the 3 he already paid for but that sounds close to impossible with the luck he's having already. Has there been anybody else that has made up a hard spl for the tp2?

Is it possible to buy Samsung Captivate without countract?

Hello, I am going to visit the US in August and I would really like to buy Samsung Captivate, but not the Samsung Galaxy S (I really hate its iPhone style design)
Is it possible for a foreigner to buy Captivate (and unlock it) and use it with my own sim card here in Russia?
just found this instruction - http://ddd.in.com/videos/watchvideo...ngular-att-free-network-sim-code-8507521.html
does it work?
As for non-contract? yes! It will be $350 in any AT&T store.
As for unlocking it, i'm not sure.
so I can just come and buy it in AT&T store without showing some documents like I am a citizan of the US? and btw the price is very low, comparing with its price here in Moscow - $1000
Then, I need just to unlock it for any sim card?

LoL! Yes dude, you can buy it. The only citizenship doecuments you need are US Dollars!
Thanks, dudes, you really helped me)
It's really promising)
The design of Samsung Galaxy S really suks and the Captivate one is awesome
dark, just in case you didn't already know, as of now unlocks aren't available, but it's highly likely that they will be soon. This means that you wont be able to use your phone right away when you get back to the mother land.
On the other hand if you hang in there, by the time unlocks come out, there will be plenty of guides on how to make this phone look as little as the ios as possible. Not to mention alot more online support for it.
Just wanted to make sure you didn't get back home to a huge disappointment .
Good point. I just assumed he was aware of that. As quickly as this thing is gaining momentum, I doubt you'd have to wait long before it's unlocked.
Well, just read the review on one web-site and there was a phrase:
AT&T won't let you sideload apps.
I am confused, does it mean that there is no android market???????????
I saw a video - how to unlock Samsung Captivate - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlxc6AJaAys
Does it work?
So if it's fake, I am planning to stay in the US until the end of August, are there any chances for the unlock to reveal?
There is a market, but you can't put stuff on there that isn't from the market.
With AT&T, the only thing can be installed is stuff from the market.
Do you mean that it's just not possible to put .apk files in the phone?
Well, in this case I am OK with Android Market
crap, just read in another review, that there is an AT&T Market - this totally sucks!
So, it is different from Android Market?
Or there are two markets there?

Yup thats pretty much the case, so if you do not mind it, you are good to go. I would not worry too much about an unlock as this phone is spreading faster than fire through the community and should be unlockable pretty soon.
That I have no idea about. I have never owned an Android phone so I only go by what I have read.
but as of this weekend, I will own one!
Maybe root will help us to install 3-rd party apps?
Guys, please post additional info about unlock , when some new information reveals.
I am really interested in this phone.
And can someone check if it is possible to choose Russian locale? I mean transforming the interface to the Russian one
Here is an unlock instruction http://hyfeno.com/unlocked-samsung-i897-captivate/
it seems like it should work
btw please advise me the cheapest US 3g network I am planning to travel in many states of the USA for a month...

You should try asking AT&T for the unlock when you purchase it from them. They should be able to provide you with one free of charge since you are paying for the phone outright!
After paying 6 bucks, this is the reply I got from their site.
Hi,
unfortunately your code wasn't found in our database, would you have another phone you like to unlock?

AND it's not a free unlock code.

well, may be you misspelled the code?
if it finally works, it's better to pay these 6 bucks, than paying $1000 for the ugly version of Galaxy S here in Russia
The non contract price I was just quoted from the ATT store were I purchased my phone said the the price off contract was 499.00
I was going to buy this phone for 350.00 but 500.00 is a little steep.
so is it $350 or $500?
I heard that $500 is just for t-mobile version
I was going to go over there to exchange it and buy it out right. Look at the prices of the galaxy s line on ebay,500$ sounds about right.
500$ is what I was told from a corporate ATT store.

TechDY basic bear, anyone buying?

Hey,
I have a pre-order on this phone but I do not know whether or not to trust this company and buy this sweet little phone. By the end of tomorrow I'll make my decission but I was rather curious if anyone here is going for it ?
Their website does not show any specifications anymore like it used to and paying by cc and giving a company like this my cc information is kind of risky. Qualcomm 600 + 2GB ram for only 199$ too good to be true?

Yeah I ordered back in June/July too and just got the request for payment too. I'm hesitant to pay too especially given their site has no new info and their Facebook is very much outdated.
The fact the email says its automated too makes me sceptical.
I emailed them asking for more info but heard nothing.
Same here. Pre-ordered back when it first came out. Don't think I'd be paying now.

Yes, better safe then sorry. Rational thinking points in the direction of a scam I guess.
I have paid, and just receaved the payment info,

Well I guess at least that is positive, they at least changed the status

Techdy Bear Pro Preorder
I sent mail to Techdy and Also ask some question in Bear Pro Add review but they didn't replied:crying:. I told that your website and Facebook page not updated a long time ago, why we provide you our credit card information can;t you give us Paypal Option so that it will be safe and secure rather than loosing $283 including shipping we are happy to pay 10-15$ PayPal charge at least our money will be safe. also i asked when u will revel the upcoming bear specification and handset picture but no answer, guys i think it's a totally scam. these Chinese can do any thing to get your money, their website Alibaba is worst scammed in money catching, same thing i suspicious in techdy, i also preorder the bear-pro but still i didn't paid, very much unsecured for money and credit card information leak. those who paid first confirm the handset in hand with all specification than after we can think about it. remember it's your hard earned money and nobody want to waste it on some noodled people.
waiting for mine
Tell
Tell us if u actually get it and if u do can u do like a small video review
Check out this site techdybear.com . Unlike techdy.com it is updated. It is surely made by the same people...
what happen?
did anyone recieve their Bear products? I think techdy is just trolling everyone. I have been waiting for a real review of this. I had originally pre-ordered the bear pro but unsure what has happened. well I hope to hear some good news from guys that have already paid. techdy doesn't use Facebook anymore, or at least their own page. abandoned ship I guess. who knows.....

LG V10 TOT Root for H961N

So, a user by the name @BlueEffect managed to get the tot from the china website and have successfully proven that root is working on his device (Specifically H961N only).
Link of post over here. http://forum.xda-developers.com//lg...m-h961n-official-thread-t3248822/post65232587
What I was thinking right now is that if it is possible we can help this person cover his cost (or even paying him even more for being so daring to actually purchase something with no actual proof and flashing on his device) and allow him to share with everyone in the forum.
I'll update as it goes along as I continue to chat with this person.
lgbbs support file TOT all LG V10 root
But then root we are can not update OTA

The question is, are you willing to pay for it? This person paid around 60 USD just to "test" it out for people out there and to share the results.
Well I can send a humble to the pool for a H960 International version solution.
Battery drain and no GMD Gestures support is a pain.
I discussed with BlueEffect, and as he said, he just want to cover his cost.
70$, if we are 7 persons who pay 10$ it would be OK I think.
And I think we are more than 7 persons who wants it !

Hi,
You could count with me ... 10 or 7 is fine for me ...
If its work, i`m in too!
I can give you 10 dollars, if necessary up to 20 dollars.
I need to root my phone
We are 5, 2 more minimum and we pay 10$ each (by paypal if possible @BlueEffect?)
I don't have any issue to pay, even if others people will have it for free, I don't care, but I want/need it !
Hello,
I have replied to those who have PM me. Please indicate your name in paypal when you send it. Will update every few hours for those who have donated

Which of these 2 variants w/128GB+6GB, are best for the Australian market/conditions?

1)
http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/business/business-products/mobile-device/smartphones/SM-G9550ZKGTGY
2)
https://www.flipkart.com/samsung-galaxy-s8-plus-midnight-black-128-gb/p/itmeuggehq2umb7u
https://shop.samsung.com/in/galaxy-s8-plus-128gb.html
I just got the 1st one, but starting to think it was a bad move, I suspect the latter would've been a MUCH better fit for Australian market/conditions, especially should I want to eventually flash to a more localised ROM etc.
Also the G9550 supposedly doesn't have B28-700mhz (though not the end of the world, this isn't to be scoffed-at given the areas I frequent), but on the official product page it does, just freq-check & some other resources say it doesn't. Also seems possible that it's 2G-only on the second SIM, but I think that's unlikely.
The 2nd variant I linked above I don't think (?) has any of these issues, plus it uses the same basic SoC as the Aussie & Int. variants.
Any thoughts and advice on this, are very much appreciated... :good:

Definitely the second one.
You get the Australian CSC as soon as you pop your SIM in, software updates on time, better LTE band and carrier aggregation (LTE-A) support, more devs have the Exynos variants compared to the SD835 variant and the FD model allows 4G on SIM Slot 1, and 3G/2G on SIM Slot 2, unlike some phones which only allow 2G on Slot 2.
Sigh, I suspect my importer's going to claim they can't get it, & I'll be forced to just wear the one I have, OR pay a hefty restocking fee, BUT be without both. >.>
Late this arvo they messaged their HK-based partner &or parent co. (not sure of exact arrangements) called MyMobile (in Oz was formerly known as UniqueMobiles, but they've taken up the MM branding/naming).
Sigh, what to do, what to do... Ugh...
Given how things have evolved/progressed in my interactions with them so far;
I don't think they'll be reasonable with regards to any extra costs/penalties.
Especially if MyMobile HK claims it can't obtain the SM-G955FZKGINS SKU.
They'll prolly try to hit me with a 25% restocking fee...
If they do & they refuse to budge, I'll just wear it & never buy from them again.
I've kept everything in pristine condition, as much as can be, the main box had already been opened anyway!*
Then I'll need to find someone who can import it, or who's willing to "export".
I would greatly prefer a well-established & locally-based importer though.
One that has a presence, & ideally even a SC, in South East Queensland.
*the phone had already been turned-on and setup/configured, had to factory reset it so I could go through the normal setup process, but 1st had to work out how the heck to change the UI from Chinese to English, as it was almost impossible to navigate before that!

Apologies for not seeing this. Mention/quote me next time so I get a notification.
I'm not surprised it's hard for importers or anyone to get their hands on that particular variant since it's literally only being sold in India.
There's 2 things you can do, neither are easy.
1) Ask if Flipkart will ship to you in Australia and then find out if any customs duties or taxes will apply if you import a phone yourself.
2) Wait for Samsung to release the 6GB/128GB variant elsewhere.
The Pearl Black S7 edge with 128GB of storage was only launched in China and Korea first, and then it made its way to the rest of the world including Pakistan with the G935FD model number which worked everywhere.
F5king site, had a lengthy post typed-up & it lost it!!!! CBF'd typing it all up again;

Yeah, pricks are gunna hit me w.a 20% restocking fee, didn't have time today, will likely drop it in tomm, everything's in pristine condition, there better not be any hidden "gotchas"! I also paid $70AUD for an extended warranty service, they better not try & charge the 20% with that included in the total cost, & I expect to be FULLY refunded that $70, the phone itself was $1068 AUD, so the 20% fee should be applied only against that.
The explanation was vague/brief, but it sounds like their people in HK just don't want to get it as a once-off, generally they only like to procure these things if they're being bought in bulk. Personally think they're stupid trying to sell the G9550xxx as their 128GB option (they've sold FAR more G955FD SKU's), this 128GB variant would do much better with enthusiasts in Australia, but they've just ignored that line of thinking.

1GrandTrunk is the 1st mob I approached (geezus they took their sweet time, about 5hrs before I got this, & 2 chase-up calls, 3 in total),
I won't go through with it tonight, I'll wait till tomm. morn, to see if I get feedback from others I emailed after 1GrandTrunk.
I may also call them (& a few others) tomm. morn... Do they look legit/credible IYO?
Cheers!

Considering they've given you such a detailed breakdown of the fees, I guess they're legit.
Could you send me the links of the other importers you contacted?

Mainly reaching out to folks I found in this search: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=indian+mail+forwarding+service
1GrandTrunk aren't even one of the top hits in that search, they were buried in a Qora discussion (which was one of the top hits)!
Going to bed ASAP, had waaay too many very late nights lately, time to break the bad sleeping habits/cycles & get up very early (for me) for a change. I worked odd hours for many years, so I've kept those bad patterns since starting my own business, in some ways I suspect that's just my natural circadian rhythm (we all have very different ones). Alas, mine seems to be one that the majority of people don't have, & that's not good for "living in the real world", so, time to change them! Grumble grumble.

Is answered in the post above in case you missed it.
And there's this post before the page wrapped-over, in case you missed it.

Just realised, the total cost in AUD is insane, even before all the other expenses, the cost of just the phone is $1524 AUD!
You can get the G9550 in Oz for about $500 less than that, perhaps even 550, & the 64GB G955Fxxx SKU's are much cheaper than the G9550xxx's.
I got my G9550xxx for $1068, but I had some other stipulations/requirements, else I could've easily gotten it for ~$50 cheaper.
I'm not even sure what some of those extra expenses they've listed are for, will have to ask them in the morn, ugh, this is a "no go" I think! :-S
With the starting price so high, it doesn't matter which one of these guys I go with, I don't think it's going to be worth it???
Sigh, will have to call MyMobile & tell them I want to keep this G9550 now, maybe I'll still return it & just buy a 64+4GB dual-SIM G955Fxxx from them.
Hopefully they'll ditch the the bloody restocking fee if I do that, if they won't, then there's no way I'll buy it from them!!!

That sucks man. I guess getting the 64GB G955FD will be better and then in the future if Samsung decides to launch the 6/128 variant outside India, you can always trade yours in for that variant.

Is it possible that him doing it in USD is just throwing me off;
And pricing might actually be much better than what I'm seeing after doing the convert myself?
No, surely that doesn't make sense, man need sleep...
