[WIP][DEVS] CyanogenMod for LG G5

Hi all,
I started working on the LG G5 a way back .. and now that we've got the device in stores I guess it's time to work all together to bring it up !
STATUS
- [02/04/2016] All the US Carriers/Sellers locked the bootloaders so NO TWRP possible and consequently NO CM possible
CURRENT GOALS
- Thought, all the Europe variants will be for sure unlocked so we need to prepare the sources for it
- Here is where all the sources are pushed https://github.com/G5Devs
ETA :
- The tree is made
- The vendor is made
- The kernel is made
TODO :
- Clarifying kernel sources
- Add the ramdisk to the device
- Split the g5 to g5-common and all the under variants
This thread is not a thread to release builds, it's about contributing all together into this bringup in order to get the nicest thing out of it when the bootloaders will become unlockable.
I hope we'll can work all together !

Does no twrp mean no roms at all and can certain stuff be done via adb?

No twrp means no custom roms ever.

I thought someone somewhere said the Tmobile version had an unlocked loader

Anything about the Canadian variants? I presume they will be like the US ones.
Would root still be possible through?

It does unlock, but the DM-VERIFY is still presenting a no-go.
Evidently LG is using a custom type of bootloader.

only for that specific device(s) on HTC
HTC has a portal that allows you to unlock bootloader for that specific device (hence the need to copy+paste token to HTC's portal and get the unlock key)
no doubt HTC will void warranty immediately in their system when you input token
LG doesn't have this (yet? i hope)

Yeah, was just a thought. Haven't owned a LG in some time, been on the Samsung wagon. The G5 is on my watch list of devices I might get, I like the design. I'll try to see if I can find something that might be more constructive to the cause. The HTC link was the first thing I could think of that I've dealt with.
I see that LG has release a tool for the G4 and that's device specific and seems to work on the European devices.

Totally willing to contribute monetarily if this will help any developers out. I don't have much else but really want to help get this phone broken open and fixed up good!

Maybe when everything will be finished to improve module compatibility.
PS : NEWS : I'm mostly done making the variant specific trees and kernel. But I want the kernel to be clean.. So it's slow..

Any status updates? I'm following this stuff like a hawk haha
Been reading around trying to gather information

How do you test to see if your handset has the DM verify second bootloader lock?
I am hoping to get my UK unbranded unlocked retail H850 unit on Friday, so am happy to test any restrictons, but don't know how to check for this?

If I buy a g5 from best buy would it still have the locked bootloader?

Unlock bootloader on Verizon Pixel bought today (December)?

Does anyone know if I were to buy a Verizon Pixel today would I be able to unlock the bootloader? I ask about "today" because I'm not sure what software the phones are shipping with and from the bit I've read, the original forced-unlock tool only worked on earlier builds.
Or am I way off base here?

You are correct, with the December update they can't be unlocked. So far they are not shipping with the December update. I doubt they will any time soon.

Same. Got mine last weekend, no problems with depixel8.

I received my Pixel yesterday from Verizon and it did not have the 7.1.1 update installed so unlocking the bootloader should still be possible. What I'd like to know is if I were to unlock it, would I be able to apply the 7.1.1 update and still have it unlocked?

Unlock it first. It will update as long as you don't root or mod it. It will remain unlocked.

If you are going to fastboot flash the full image, jump to the latest. If you are going to let or download ota'd mine also jumped to the latest. So guess it doesn't matter.

Just so you know I didnt get a PIXEL XL but a PIXEL and it came with 7.1 NDE26P Ordered Monday got it Tuesday AM. 12/20/2016
Bootloader unlocked and rooted already. Haven't even activated. :victory:

**DELETED**

noob here lol
So I've got the regular Google Pixel from Verizon and I am on 7.1.1 NOF27B, my question is so there's absolutely no work around to unlock the bootloader to then gain root access? Just curious, if so I think I"m gonna need to switch carriers then lmao

So it is a Verizon Pixel then. You are done, it has to be unlocked ro get root.

how do you convert from the TMobile ROM to the international ROM?

Title says all

Right now you can't. But it's being worked on. Patience is needed. As soon as it's achieved there will be a post about it.

What? If you have a T-Mobile branded 7 Pro and use the Msm tool to convert you don't need the token right? I understand we are still waiting on the tool to come out, but you said you are getting your token soon and you would only use that to unlock the bootloader on the T-Mobile firmware.

Yeah if the tool came out first I would have used that but since it hasn't I'll have to use the token

Gotcha, I'm on the same page now.

Coming from the experience of the support for the 6t its only a matter time before the same tool is released for 7 pro.. I don't see the need to get it unlocked through tmobile and or token, just wait for the conversion tool.. It will be here sooner than you think..

t-mobile's 8T+, root, and (future) roms

I see there are already rooting/unlocking bootloader instructions for the regular 8T. is there any reason I should hesitate before buying the 8T+?
my main concern is (future) 8T roms may not work on 8T+. but in general, seems like most OnePlus phones eventually get official LineageOS. so should I not worry about it?
obviously it'll be some time before roms are available regardless - that's fine. I'm more thinking about 2 years down the road.

There is not 8t+
There is just 8t+5g not 8t+

It's definitely 8t+. it's distinct from the 12GB/256GB model that you can get unlocked.

He recently closed his threads and isn't taking requests. He did it for my 7pro and I hope he returns.

He also did it for my op8 but when I sent him a PM he has everyone blocked so I'm not so sure he is still doing it

Problem is that even when you do get your SIM unlocked you still have to wait 45 days from date of purchase to be able to request a Bootloader unlock code (according to OP)

Thats for sim unlock. There's no time requirement listed for the bootloader. Only need the sim unlocked prior. So if tforce is willing to whitelist the imei (which it sounds like they usually do if your nice about it) then it should be possible. It can take 2 days to get the unlock file but thats better than 2 years to pay off the device.

No! This MSM tool is just to restore to stock TMO build, for example if it bricked or if you wanna return the device after rooting or switching to international (whenever those will be available) this tool doesn't do what you want yet
Edit: I just realized he even linked you a different one, this is for the international version if it got bricked or anything to restore, there is also a TMO MSM tool, but as I said before there isn't yet a tool that lets you convert from TMO to International, I'm also waiting for it
