How people can help with custm roms? :highfive:
Please post your thoughts / Ideas! :fingers-crossed:
Lets get this ball rolling, it's gathered enough dust now and we need all the help we can get to get this rolling! :victory:
:silly:
There are already some posts about the unlocking of the bootloader, so you can read them carefully and see how is the state of the art.
And about the custom roms, I think Dexter just heard you and built one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085710
LG Open Source code if any use to anyone.

Yes looks tasty but no radio yet! We atleast need calls and data. But thats great work so far.
See no real reason not to have a fully working custom rom, as unlocked boot loader is not a must!
Several other devices have locked boot loader and have great working custom roms. : O)

Yeh, but custom kernel is the real deal IMHO.
I have an idea. Post it in appropriate section next time

as far as i have seen o4x has a pretty good and stable kernel so u dont need one unless u want to oc
and that could be achieved with modules as well if module loading is suported by the kernel...
I wan't everything what is possibile. What about some missing functionality let's say iptables? Some day LG will end support of the phone, what then?

Yes, I know, apparently LG found out, that I'm buying their phone so they decided to unlock bl. Still I don't trust them, so I advise to continue development rather than wait for them.
Hi
i just bought my phone month ago and i really want to root the device and use different roms
i observed that many here did that
does really rooting void the warranty and if is true ? can i do unroot for warranty
also does rooting has a relation to battery life impovement or it is the roms
my battery life is not good
i even bought an extendable 4300 battery from china and still bad it is just "the 4300 one " stood for 23h with light use
thanks in advance
NB : sorry for the bad english
Rooting can void it, but is undetectable if you reinstall the firmware which will remove it. Unlocking the bootloader to install ROM/kernel however cannot be reversed, but is undetectable if you revert to ICS. Rooting itself will do nothing for battery its the changes you make with this access, whether that be a new ROM, kernel, or simpler things like changing clock speeds with tegra overclock or similar

What does it mean that unlocking bootloader can be undectable after changing ROM to ICS?

Because the ICS ROM was never made for bootloader unlock, so it will be locked in ICS, but if you flash JB again it will already be unlocked
Sent from my rooted P880
So, after unlocking bootloader and (in case of some damage) changing ROM to ICS mean I can still use my varranty? Or not?
It depends. LG can still tell if you have unlocked, unless you really think they are that stupid.

Yep, all they would have to do is update it to JB or even just look in sys/firmware/fuse/odm_reserved for changes. If they care they will find out
Sent from my rooted P880
I have yet to find out how it would be possible to damage a device while using custom roms or rooting it. Unless someone is really stupid to do something dumb, there is no risk whatsoever.
Once you root it though, I believe its over with the warranty.

It all depends where you are. The company cannot, certainly under UK consumer law, refuse to fix a hardware fault just because you have rooted your phone or unlocked the bootloader. They can, however, if they can show that you have caused the damage by over-clocking the CPU or playing around with the voltage settings.

They could still see the difference. Fuses are written only once, so if the fuse is not the same as the original code well...

Cmon you would have to be very unlucky to have warranty refused when something breaks and you want to have it repaired just use relock unlock method, seriously doubt they will be checking fuses, and even if they have checked would they refuse repair

LG Italy has officially stated that it will repair under warranty LG smartphones rooted and with custom ROM installed, no questions asked.
I'm not able to tell what other LG subsidiaries will do in other, different, countries.

Thanks for that. Interesting that it was over two years ago, and they specifically mention "rooting", no reference to unlocking bootloaders. It may be worth you asking the question of them to find out what their stance is now.

rooting and installation of alternate firmware, which you can't get without unlocking bootloader. still, this is old, and i'd really really like to know what their stance is today

Untrue. You can install alternate firmware - we had that ability on the 4X without an unlocked bootloader. What you can't do is install a custom kernel.
Unless they specifically state that they will support warranty claims with an unlocked bootloader then this is worthless anyway.
Hello. I have an AT&T S5 that is currently unlocked and I am using it with T-Mobile. I would love to root it and put Cyanogenmod 11 on it, as I put it on my nexus 4 before this and loved it. they say on the http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Klte_Info page not to use this guide due to the boot image signing. Does anyone have any information/instructions on how to go about completing this? Thanks!

NO. Someone wont. You go right ahead and keep flashing files, your phone is going to die. I wouldn't be flashing just whatever to see if it works. That's not a very good idea.

OK, just to clear this up one last time.
1. We can not install custom kernels, Stock TW kernels are not compatible with CM/AOSP/AOKP ROM's
2. the flashing process although it will complete does not mean the ROM will run.
3. There is (currently) no way to circumvent these issues.
4. SafeStrap will NOT flash kernels only the file system.
Some S5 and S5A devices (international models, Tmobile, Sprint) to name a few have unlocked BootLoaders
those devices can and do run CM/AOSP/AOKP ROM's. AT&T has a Locked BootLoader
I really don't mean to sound condescending however this device is fast approaching it's first birthday and many many people have tried to run CM or CM derivitives on the AT&T device, there are tons of threads cluttering the development forums in regards to this issue continuing to attempt to install a CM Build and then posting here in the AT&T forums is at this time a pointless effort.
Using the search feature either ein Goolge or in the forums will provide all the answers you need.

Well, one can only hope! :laugh::laugh:
In defense of the OP, it's pretty confusing that there's the Unified Development subforum which shows up under the AT&T section... I've been wondering why there's all these threads in a subforum to AT&T talking about installing all these roms that I know shouldn't work. I figured it was just something more involved than I'm comfortable with so I've ignored it. It seems like until the AT&T BL is unlocked that we shouldn't even have the Unified section linked here.

im merely pointing out that everything i have read has pointed to it being locked (not that it cant be unlocked mind you) AT&T rarely sends devices with the bootloader unlocked whether or not you can unlock them is a different story. i merely stated that "From what i had read" sorry for the confusion
EDIT: in fact here is the thread stating it comes from AT&T locked but is unlockable

and if at&t will want they can unlock BL right? or is there any way to ask them bl unlock?

Again, no.
These are posted all over the internet and do NOT allow you to unlock or get root on the us or Canada 96XU and 96XW models. They also don't help bypass rmm prenormal on exynos (96XF/FD) or unlockable snapdragon (96X0) models. In short, they don't help with anything, other than frp bypass which is not a permitted topic on here. If anything they waste more time than anything because every time someone posts this stuff the same questions have to be answered again, and before they are people some time trying the same things that have been tried hundreds of times before and are known not to work. I personally don't think that is very helpful

Correct me if I'm wrong but I've read through the entire thread and nowhere did it say that this won't boot. Like definitively somebody said it won't boot on the 9650u. Don't come at me with that garbage I'm not out here making these stupid threads. Seriously. Obviously if it was this easy to get root then someone would have it for my device, no ****. Don't come at me with that noob parlor stuff. Seriously. The point is has somebody said "this ROM will not boot on your device" nobody said anything about this ROM actually. Is it exynos? Is it actually a COM .tar? Does it boot period? Where'd it come from? Don't come at me with your cheap post about being mad because somebody asked a question you knew the answer too. I'm sick of it on this specific forum.
Also don't take what I say to heart. I sound like an ass but it's hard to convey emotion over the internet.

For me I was curious to see if this is like the treble ROMs that are out. There are AOSP TREBLE ROMs out that function quite well. One of the advantages is that we have a choice not use Google apps/services with the TREBLE ROMs. Just like the old days. Most of the custom roms out now are loaded with gapps.
There's even AOSP based ROMs with gapps in this section that have a lot more customations.
It's really about choice.

If I try this how can I flash back to a normal rom? I heard you need to use https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com but it's forbidden in my country.

It didn't work for me in the US either I just flashed the full image from Google to get back to stock.
Yeah I read somewhere that's it's a tricky business to get back to stock but I just flashed and it's back to normal. Aosp was interesting though.

If you have fastboot then download factory image, extract contents to fastboot folder and hit run
If not download the OTA zip, load up recovery, sideload update in recovery using ADB

Ok now we have a new tool. It's like the other tool mentioned in this thread. It doesn't mention needing "OEM unlocked" enabled. Question is. Can I flash Google fi firmware on my at&t phone and be able to enable "OEM Unlock" afterwards?
