Uhhh... Yes it is. We don't have access to fastboot. I have the V405UA. We can turn on OEM unlock but we have to pay for our bootloader to be unlocked by some guy in the Ukraine.

I sir salute you because I'm in the same positron myself. Same LG V40, model, etc. Mine's red lol.

im sorry I do not understand, enable dev options then usb debug download adb and fastboot go into dev options and enable oem unlock then where ever you have adb and fastboot hold shift and right click and open command propmpt then type the following
Fastboot oem unlock
if that dosnt work
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/help/root-t3878148/page23
now its unlocked
if your talking about simlock that is completely different

If i can help im down for some experimentation

do a quick google search for Miracle Box Thunder Mod Nowload both the mod and setup files, that has every tool you will need to recover and fix your issues if you cant figure out how to do something FIRST google a tutorial on how to use miracle box and if you still cant figure it out lmk and ill walk you through it

LG stylo4 Q710AL Sprint

For sure and I'm sure you understand how to reflash your device in case of brick right? Can you get the stock firmware? I assume so because it's a LG

So you're saying you found something unique about each and every LG bootloader that is a constant with the RSA security? Or are you just trying out something and trying to see which will actually stick and work with it? I have maybe a device or two I could afford to Brick in the name of Tech research.
This would be a pretty big find if it is for sure :fingers-crossed:

If I were you I would let these people know there is a great very great possibility they will be breaking their device a hard brick and possibly even worse than edl 9008 Qualcomm mode. You need to have the exact programmer for the device for most of these LG's in order to reload with Qfil in 9 0 0
8 mode or other software / hardware.

Xperia Z3 (T-Mobile) D6616 Android 6.0 Not Found

Hi,
I've Xperia Z3 (T-Mobile) D6616 running on Android 5.0. I would like to install Android 6 on it.
I prefer to install Stock Rom of Android 6 On my Z3. Default , If there are a cool & good Custom ROM of Android 6.
I was not able to root it using Kingo Root too :crying: !!! Are there another way ?
Thanks
Get yourself another variant. The D6616 has a permanently locked bootloader. Flashing AOSP/CM-based ROMs is not possible.

My D6616 bootloader can be unlocked.
So, flashing AOSP/CM-based ROMs will be possible ?

Hello.
I'm in the same case (D6616 with unlockable bootloader) & I wanna know if there is any issue to install custom ROM. Did you successfully installed any other ROM on it ? or mayebe Rooted it? let me know please.
Root is possible and Recovery too, but there are no custom ROMs made for D6616.
I too have the tmobile z3 d6616, being used in the UK on ee......I wanted 32gb storage and only this model seems to have it out of the factory. Purchased via eBay from a seller in Hong Kong, fully expected it to be a used/fake phone but no, brand new genuine item complete with all the tmobile bloatware. Acording to the specs I can't get 4g in the UK as it has the wrong lte bands (3g is no problem and sufficient for me) though when I use mobile data it does say 4g on the screen.....anyway I digress, I too have 'unlock bootloader - yes' on my phone when you enter the service menu. Despite flashing roms/rooting/flashing different kernels on my old note 3/4 I am unable to take advantage of this feature as my developer skills are next to zero!
I also have this version of D6616.
I unlocked the bootloader and have tried various roms and other mods without much luck.
I wonder what the difference is in the devices (apart from the baseband) that stops us from flashing stock d6603 roms too it.
Maybe some devs can identify where we/I am going wrong

If someone who knows how to use adb could pull the partition layout and upload it in a Google Doc and link it or pm to me I could take a look at it. I think that the partition layout is different and that's why other roms or ftf will not work. You can run this command in adb shell
Code:
ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name

Comparing it to http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/dev-d6603-stock-partition-table-t3288687
I can see no difference except for the extra 3 partitions on the end. (that is if the order doesnt matter only the numbers on the end of the partitions, if it does, then that could be our problem)
Btw, I relocked my bootloader before doing this, would that be a problem? (i dont think it would be)
I have the same model D6616 , would you please tell me how you unlocked your bootloader and which custom rom you preffer to install in it?
D6616
You can unlock boot loader but then you have just unstable custom MIUI V7 miui_Z3_liupan_6.6.17_4.4rom with no camera and Jaguar_Leo_December 14. rom a bit unstable.
So, after so many tries and soft-bricks ( once I had to press reset button for 120 sec with power wire +5 -5 V directly on magnetic pins ), I will stay with STOCK KK rom.
Hello! I have a D6616 and I successfully unlocked the bootloader, I successfully installed TWRP 3.0.2; Now the phone and my windows pc believe it is a Sony Xperia Z2. I love playing with Android and Sony products, don't you?
I tried the flashtool from XDA but no luck;
1. on the Z3 I press & hold "volume down" and plug in the USB cable,
2. the phone starts in "flash" mode, the XDA flashtool will recognize the phone,
3. I d/l-ed the appropriate .ftf file for the D6616, I attempt to flash the .ftf file,
4. the phone will reboot (idk why) and enter a boot loop until I manage to repeatedly press "volume up" and "volume down" and TWRP comes up.
I'm stuck, anyone at all that can help me out...please lend me any useful advice!
Could you please let us know how you unlocked the bootloader?

Indian Variant bootloader question

Hey guys
Bought the 64 GB version yesterday, vitals are as follows
Moto turbo
Xt1225
Android 5.0.2 (took a small OTA maybe like 90mb, now states that it is up to date)
so like any other XDA regular, the first thing I did (after opening the box of course) was to try and unlock the bootloader
Powered it on, rebooted to fastboot and fired up motodev...where my happiness was converted to horror when it told me "YOUR DEVICE IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR UNLOCK"
this is a huge bummer if not an outright deal breaker, as I use xposed, among other things I need root ,and I've seen people post twrp backups here from the Indian Variant, so people have at least that installed, so guys, what are my options?
How did you do it? Will sunshine work?
P.S. : I bought it yesterday but I think my retailer won't take "can't unlock bootloader" as a viable excuse to refund an otherwise functional device

Your device is eligible.
Do NOT use Sunshine.
I have no idea what "MotoDev" is. Go to the actual Motorola website and request an unlock code.
UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
You will need to install the Android SDK. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Also, install the latest Motorola USB Drivers on your desktop. https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
Connect your phone to PC via USB cable. Go to the Motorola website and get the unlock code.
In the Windows command window, you will need to copy and paste the numbers back and forth. Do NOT try to type them by hand. That was my mistake. I also got an ineligible error message the first time, because it's like 70 character alphanumeric string. Very easy to make a typing mistake. I did.
If you don't know how to copy and paste to and from the Windows command window, use to Google to find out how.

Yess!! That did it[emoji2] turns out the site does not differentiate between "incorrect" and "ineligible"
Not finding the device on the supported devices list convinced me that the official route was closed
Turns out there were a couple of empty spaces in the key i copied, i recheked it manually after you confirmed it to be unlockable , thanks a ton[emoji1]
Motodev is what the motorola development portal was called back in 2013, when i unlocked my moto x first gen, now i guess they dropped the developer moniker and its just motorola
Thanks again

XT1225_QUARK_RETEU_6.0.1_MPGS24.107-70.2_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC Rom needed!

Guys please help! If anyone can get XT1225_QUARK_RETEU_6.0.1_MPGS24.107-70.2_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml stock rom please send the link... my moto turbo is soft bricked but no rom is flashing and recovery shows this "motorola/quark_reteu/quark_umts6.0.1/MGPS24.107-70.2-7/7"
bootloader locked and cant boot to enable unlock
Several Indians (including me) are facing the same issue as the desired version of stock rom is not available in the internet. Visit moto service center and ask them to flash the updated stock one
Is there any other way to get? The service centre is very very far away..
I believe no other way till now.

The problem is Motorola apparently never publicly released the India (RETEU) "GS" region full image version of this firmware. They only released the partial image OTA.
XT1225_QUARK_RETEU_6.0.1_MPGS24.107-70.2_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
The "GS" denotes a newer version than just the "G". Once you update to the newer version via OTA -- or try to -- you will be installing a newer version of the bootloader, which can NOT be rolled back.
If your bootloader was UNlocked, you can flash ANY region firmware or any previous India firmware to recover -- previous version of Marshmallow, Lollipop, even Kitkat for the XT1225. Region wouldn't matter, with an unlocked bootloader. (Just be sure to NOT flash gpt.bin!)
If you had an unlocked bootloader, you could flash any one of the BLUE 6.0.1_MPGS24.107-70.2_cid7 images in the screenshot below. (RETLA and RETBR would be the best choices as they are the Mexico and Brazil XT1225 carrier unlocked firmware. India XT1225 would still work just fine on those.) But, as you see the most recent publicly released India (RETEU) image (in red) does not have the "GS". With an unlocked bootloader you could even flash that -- as long as you leave off gpt.bin from the flash commands.
With a locked bootloader and no public release of the full image firmware you need, I'm sorry but you have to go to a Motorola service center. This is one reason you should always unlock your bootloader... It gives you more choices for recovery.

Yes @ChazzMatt, there is no other way if the bootloader is locked. I am the person who noticed that "GS" thing first, and we already had a discussion on that in other thread. That's why I gave him the only solution to visit Motorola Service center.

Read my bootloader unlock guide. OEM bootloader unlock in Settings by itself does nothing, unless the OEM wants it to do something. This has always been true. In this case, Motorola is one of the OEMS who make you get a bootloader unlock code to actually unlock your bootloader; LG is another one that requires this. You request a bootloader unlock code and follow the steps in my guide.

TMobile KB2007 Rooting options

I have benn using Pixels since 2XL.
I am used to images being released immediately and where to get them from Google.
I havent had a OP since OP2.
I now have a TMob 8T, bootloader is unlocked, but I havent considered rooting yet as I cant find images anywhere.
Should I expect them to appear on OnePlus's website?
I would appreciate it if anyone has any historical knowledge.

How exactly did you bootloader unlock your device? OP's site is drunk for everybody how did you do it? Or do you mean to say that you are SIM unlocked?
I tweeted tmobile help
Explained to them I am a developer and purchased this phone because I want to get root access
They asked me to pay it off, so I did.
They unlocked the sim
Them OEM unlock switch became active
I did the fastboot commands and here I am trying to figure out how to root

Ok, you basically are a step before unlocking the bootloader, the device comes with a locked bootloader and you must request a Bootloader unlock token from OnePlus to be able to unlock the bootloader, the problem is that their site is completely drunk and keeps giving everybody the same error so as of now there is no way to unlock the bootloader

You need to do two things, first, please stop being rude. People are trying to help you so don't be a butt. Second, you have to boot a TWRP img, DD your current booted kernel image, patch it with magisk, boot the patched img. Then direct install via magisk. As a developer you should not have any issues, but as the previous people said, you need to wait for an unlock bin to unlock your bootloader or you cannot flash anything. And thus no ROOT.
Soooooo, once you get the code, actually unlock your bootloader then boot TWRP and dd your boot image.
And remember,
Be nice
My BL is unlocked

Have you rebooted the phone into fastboot?

If you have it sound like a driver error.

As I have understood it from other threads on here, you need to get it sim unlocked with the help of TMobile first and then you can request a bootloader unlock token from oneplus. This seem to be difficult to do even for legit customers see https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/t-mobile-bootloader-unlock.4181339/
You need a unlocked booloader to root it or convert to a non T-Mobile rom.
Please all, lets keep it on topic and with respect.
Thanks for your help.

Brother you need to get unlock token from : oneplus.com/us/unlock_token
Fill up your info and you will get your unlock token within 1 week. With that token you are able to unlock bootloader.
Reminder!! If you don'y have enough knowledge about this, so I will not recommend you to do this. You may lost your device as I lost.

I also have T mobile version whose imei is changed. But you can try by putting the original IMEI on OnePlus website at unlock token request, they will process your request. Original IMEI is written at the back of your phone glass if you are using T mobile version. If it's not the T mobile then you don't need that token to unlock bootloader.

Now I converted my T mobile OnePlus 8 to Global version. And I used the imei that is written at the back of my phone and OnePlus accepted my request and I got the unlock token.

Comparing the unlock_code.bin that I have, and yours, they're both different.
You have 2 choices to unlock OP8 TMO variant. Official way ofc is to apply for unlock_code.bin
But also there's a walkaround method which u will have to use MSM Tool to EDL Flash EU fw in your TMO Instantnoodle, and since EU variant is Global, u can easily unlock the bootloader ( but be aware, this method is not going to unlock Network for u if u r still Network locked with TMO )

You can always use the EDL Tool, though I discourage it. I didn't know what I was doing and permanently destroyed my persist.img, though I think everything went wrong before that, and now I'm unable to use my Fingerprint Sensor with no solution (besides possible recalibration) in view.
