Will the VZW G5 be rooted and/or BL unlocked?

I sure hope so. I can't have a phone without root. Unfortunately I'm stuck with verizon....

I assume it will be exactly the same as G4 in terms of root/BL.

How can we know now though? Too early to know.

Unfortunately only the intl variants and tmobile have unlocked bootloader which is required for root in android 6.0+

Have you guys heard the Unlocked LG G5 has all Major USA Bands?

The discussion is about an unlocked bootloader, not an unlocked carrier situation.
If an unlocked boot loader version existed, it would be called a developer version and it wouldn't be likely to be picked up in large enough numbers to see much real public development.
Basically, it will most likely be MONTHS before you see a leak or hack to unlock the boot loader if EVER. It will be a long time before you even see root if the G4 and V10 (just got root very recently) are anything to go by.
Since mobile device payments have become all the rage, carriers and device manufactures are extra motivated to lock down their devices. The Galaxy S7 and S7 edge (same processor as the G5) are so locked down (even on T-mobile) using Qualcomms secure boot methods that it does a check to verify the main partition before it loads the contents to memory meaning a root can only be done temporarily (live rooted) if an exploit is ever found and will have to be rerooted every reboot. Android developers are going to have to struggle with qualcomm devices especially to develop into the the future.

If the G5 is carrier unlocked, then wouldn't we simply be able to purchase a T-Mobile variant, get it unlocked, and then use it with a Verizon Sim?

As long as you don't mind paying full price or carrying a second contract and T-Mobile agrees to unlock it. Hopefully development would still be decent with just the t-mobile variant.

Unfortunately Verizon is very strict on what devices can be activated with one of their SIMs. Most likely they would block a Tmobile or international variant on their network. This is the case with the G4 already.

We got root on the V10, not an unlocked bootloader though (yet). Here's to hoping we can get at least root on the G5 in the same manner...need those magic TOT files!

We will need more than the TOT file to root the G5. Starting with Android 6.0, Google made changes so that root requires a modified kernel. Changes to system.img will not be enough. Since this involves tampering with the boot.img, the locked bootloader will prevent the phone from booting at all.
Here's hoping we don't have a repeat of the G4 or V10 when it comes to locked bootloaders.

Should I not update my device to keep it as developer friendly as possible (I am preordering it)

Or not having 3g CDMA where there's no LTE.

Anyone working on a root method yet?

This is bull crap why does tmo get a unlocked bl and not everyone else?
Why are people so afraid of it? Just let us enter our serial and we download a program. We void our warranty but how bout you let us take thst risk!?

Sprint one plus 7pro oem/root question

I was reading through and people say the OEM was locked. Has anyone found a work around to this I want to get this phone for the mod friendliness however if the OEM unlocking is locked it would be impossible. Any work around? I really want to have access to hotspot with no issues

Not currently. I don't have the phone yet, ordered Friday probably won't be getting it til Monday. If it seems impossible to root, I'll trade it in for the note 10+.

Unfortunately not. You either have to meet Sprints requirements for them to unlock it (phone paid in full and active for 60 days or more on their network) or we have to wait and see if an amazing devs can help us out.

Wait does that mean that sprint will actually unlock the phone for you? If they do, is root possible or would someone still have to develop something for it?

Pretty sure the post about Sprint unlocking the device is confusing SIM unlock with bootloader unlock. Which of course are 2 very different things. I've never heard of carriers having anything to do with unlocking the bootloader. But unlocking the SIM, yes (they have to by law now).
Otherwise, the requirements stated would not be that hard to meet, and plenty of folks would already be unlocking their Sprint 7 Pro bootloaders.
Unlocking the bootloader is the main barrier to root. I don't see why (with an unlocked bootloader) you couldn't just root with one of the existing methods (flash patched boot img with fastboot, or boot TWRP and flash Magisk) and no real development would be needed. But it's that locked bootloader that is the kicker!

So is there any no root workaround for use of the native hotspot on the sprint version of this device?
Or would we just have to use an app?

LG Velvet rooted boot.img (US Verizon G900VM10e_00_VZW_US)

As Mr.mayb2 requested...here a rooted boot.img from the US Verizon LG Velvet.
Pulled the original boot.img directly from the kdz that was provided to me via
http://lgegdmswdl.s.llnwi.net/dn/do...5CAIKAED3DRMO/G900VM10e_00_VZW_US_OP_1009.kdz
Then did un'kdz and un'dz.
loaded it into magisk and patched the file.
Please note that LG Velvet has 2 bootloader partitions. so be sure that you patch it to a/b.

Thats the thing where everything will stand and fall.
To unlock the bootloader you need an unlock-code from the vendor.
For the EU-Version i got that via mail from LG.
But i've no clue if LG does this for US too.

Does that come down to LG or to the carriers (Verizon, ATT, etc)?

Yes, but it only supports the EU variants as of now. Would the decision to not unlock US variants come down to an LG decision or the carriers not allowing it?
However, when I did try to use that tool I could only get my IMEI and not my device ID. It says "OK" when I enter my IMEI too so I'm wondering whether it would also accept my device ID and work anyway.
But, I'm having difficulties finding my device ID (or at least the full 64 character one they want). The ones I get from apps that pull it are only 16 character. The fastboot/bootloader method they give on that page doesn't work for me (to get the device ID). Possibly because rebooting to bootloader in ADB does nothing but reboot the phone. Rebooting to fastboot works but the commands don't work to get the device ID.
Do you know how to find the device ID otherwise?

you cant root without a bootloader unlock and you arent getting it with the verizon version. the velvet is down to $120 and although its tempting, i wouldnt do it without the unlock.

Does factory unlocked mean OEM Unlocking can be done?

I'm thinking about buying a Google Pixel 3 XL on Amazon, it's renewed. It is factory unlocked and I was wondering if it means it can be OEM unlocked. Does factory unlocked mean it doesn't come with a carrier?

Factory Unlocked means it's unlocked for all carriers.

Because I heard Verizon blocks OEM unlocking.

Factory Unlocked ( read: device without network/SIM lock ) and OEM Unlock ( read: device's bootloader is unlocked ) are completely different things, they don't relate.
Whether the phone in question can get OEM unlocked or not I don't know: I don't own such a device.

Factory unlocked means it is SIM/Carrier unlocked so that the device can be used on any carrier network. This has nothing to do with OEM unlocking.
OEM unlock only applies to unlocking the bootloader so that the software on the device can be modified or install custom software.
Verizon blocks OEM unlock on all of its devices, you can't unlock the bootloader on Verizon devices, this means you can't use Magisk, TWRP, custom ROMs and you can't modify the software on the device.
Do you understand the difference now? If you want to be able to root a device or install TWRP and custom ROMs, do not buy a Verizon device because you will not be able to do these things on a Verizon device. Don't waste your money on a Verizon device.

No, Verizon may offer factory unlocked devices, but, that only means the device can be used on non-Verizon networks, it does not mean that it can be rooted, customized, modified or use custom software.
All devices have a bootloader, whether they are factory unlocked or not, the bootloader has nothing to do with "factory unlocked" and whether the bootloader is unlocked or not has nothing to do with "factory unlocked" and has nothing to do with whether or not a device has a bootloader. We are talking about two different kinds of "unlock" and they each have nothing to do with the other, they are each, their own specific purposes. "Factory unlocked" applies to the network(s) a device can be used on, "OEM unlock" applies to what software is allowed to be used on the device itself. You are confusing the two of them and associating them to each other in a way that is not correct, separate the two ideas in your head and understand each of them alone, without the other.
If you want a device that you can root and modify or use TWRP and custom ROMs on it, DO NOT BUY A VERIZON DEVICE. None of these can be done on Verizon devices unless you go all the way back to using devices such as a Verizon Galaxy S3 or S4 or older devices. Everything that Verizon has sold since the Galaxy S5 era has been bootloader locked to prevent root and custom software modifications.

By not buying a device that is branded by Verizon, sold by Verizon or has a Verizon model number. Do a search using the model number, if it is a Verizon model number, your search results will show that it is Verizon. All or most of the US versions of Pixel devices for the different US carriers(i.e. Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc...) are bootloader locked, buy directly from Google or by an international version of pixel with an international model number.

What are you trying to do? What kind of "unlocked" are you looking for?
Do you want a device that is SIM/Carrier unlocked (also known as "factory unlocked") so that it can be used on a different network than it was "made" for?
Or do you want a device that has an unlocked bootloader or has a bootloader that can be unlocked by using the "OEM unlock" in order to root the device, install TWRP and custom ROMs or otherwise modify the stock software?
If you want a device that can be used on any network, you're looking for any kind of "factory unlocked" device. Many different carrier branded devices can be factory unlocked but I know that Verizon does not like allowing this on their devices.
If you're looking for something that can be customized and can use custom software, you are locking for a device that has an unlocked bootloader or at least a bootloader that can be unlocked via the "OEM unlock" setting or via fastboot commands, then, you do not want any kind of Verizon device, as in, NONE OF THEM. Stop asking about Verizon devices because I'm sure a Verizon device will not allow whatever it is you're wanting to do. Stop considering Verizon branded devices/model numbers. Stay away from Verizon devices, you'll only be wasting your money on a device that you will not be able to do anything with except use the device on their network using only the software that they install/allow.
Please stop beating your head against the wall, it isn't going to give or miraculously change into the answer that you "want" it to be.

Question Any way to Unlock the Bootloader on the 2022 Moto Stylus 5G?

I Have been trying on the Motorola website and it says that the phone is ineligible to be unlocked when i put the Device ID on there site.

No single att branded Motorola phone is EVER eligible for official bootloader unlock.

If you want an unlocked bootloader you should only buy it directly from Motorola

Depends on who you bought it from. If you want an unlocked version always buy direct from manufacturer instead of a carrier or Amazon... They always Lock down anything they sell.

ATT never sells moto edge+ 5g. There is no att variant moto edge+ 5g at all.
For Motorola phones, usually only unlocked version, t-mobile/metro, t-mobile MVNOs, boost mobile, us cellular and google fi versions are eligible for bootloader unlock. ATT, tracfone, ATT MVNOs, verizon and verizon MVNO versions are never eligible for bootloader unlock.
Visible version used to be fully unlocked version and eligible for bootloader unlock but after visible enforcing 60-day sim-lock policy, visible is shipping dedicated visible version or verizon version motorola phones and they are no longer eligible for bootloader unlock.

I have always been able to unlock T-Mobile/Metro this is my first time dealing with a Verizon bootloader. So basically there is no way to accomplish this.

T-Mobile/ Metro by T-Mobile are bootloader unlock eligible almost immediately, though I have heard of people running into trouble with it before successfully unlocking a few days or a week later. T-Mobile requires the phone to be paid for before SIM unlocking for use with another carrier, and Metro requires you to keep service for 6 months before they'll allow you to network unlock.

I Have been trying on the Motorola website and it says that the phone is ineligible to be unlocked when i put the Device ID on there site. I mean, why would the phone even have an OEM Unlock option if there was no way to unlock the bootloader? Just asking if anyone else has found a way around this?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Its because that feature is always built in to any android device, but it is up to who you bought it from that decides if they will allow you to unlock it or not!

try flasing wtih the tmobile file
download the coverter.bat to platform-tools folder and also extract the zip of the tmo firmware
click on convert.bat to creat a flashfile.bat
put your phone on fastboot or bootloader mode the same when you turn off you phone and hold volume down and powre together when you get to fastboot screen
just click the flashfile.bat
and it will flash your phone then try the above i mentioned to unlock bootloader instructions
thats how i did it
i have tmobile service so it worked out for me
maybe after unlock your bootloader you can reflash the same way for your service like
att, boost mobile, cricket, retus, tmobile or tracfone
again my phone is the xt-2131 version
also everytime you reflash something and have the option to go to the phone setting you have to oem unlock
and adb debuggin on so that you dont brick it
