do we need to unlock bootloader to install mm roms

hello guys,
I am new to the xda developers and a bit confused about the procedure of flashing new mm rom.. want to experiance the stock android 6.0 as we are still stuck with the kitkat 4.4.
while visiting the cm13 thread i saw in the instructions that we need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash any of the mm roms,
I have already reuested on miui for unlocking my bootloader but came to know that it may take around 15 days,,
feeling a bit confused about the whole process,
awaiting your help,
sorry for the immature querry.

What phone do you have?

xiaomi mi3

The Mi3 and Mi4 are not "stuck on 4.4" for a very long time now, and the Mi3 and Mi4 never had a locked bootloader.

ohh thanks for clearing my confussion bro....and i was talking about the official miui rom which is still based on 4.4.
so that means i can just follow the normal procedure and flash any of the mm roms..?

To get new partition scheme, install latest china dev rom (MM) with MiFlash.

After this you can install TWRP and any rom.

You can either install the Miui MM chinese-dev ROM, or search for "cancro CM Baseband" and follow instructions, that will repartition your device, update baseband and install latest twrp. After that you can flash any ROM. Personally i use Ressurection Remix MM v5.6.9 and i'm very satisfied

XT1045 Peregrine OTA Marshmallow 6.0 update???

Hello all,
I've got an XT1045 with stock 5.1 Lollipop. I know that a 6.0 Marshmallow update is promised, but I haven't gotten it yet. Does anyone have it, or links?

Had a look on google but it seems the Peregrine will not get official MM. There is the MM ported rom from the THEA (xt1072)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-identity-crisis-6-lte-t3327995/page50
But there is official CM13 (MM) available for the Peregrine, I highly recommend it. It is what I use on my THEA.

Thanks for the info! I'd like to just stay stock, but if this CM ROM is pretty stable, I'll give it a go. About the only reason I want 6.0 is for that adoptable storage feature. I'm assuming that this ROM is pre rooted, and has the usual CM goodies baked in???
PS, I'm new to this device forum. What is this 'THEA' you mentioned?

It is definitely stable for daily use and does come with CM goodies and yes has built in root (enabled in developer settings) I find it much better than stock MM. Thea is just the device variant, yours being Peregrine and another being Titan. If you do flash CM13 make sure it is for the Peregrine version.

Hi,
Even if I cannot tell for sure, I think that at this point no one has managed to do this.
Xiaomi just has been kind enough to release kernel sources for the mi5. But, even if I am not a Dev, I am pretty sure that Nougat will need compatible kernel to be booted on mi5. I am not sure that the kernel source is already compatible !
The released kernel already needs some tweaking to be used. And as I hear, it's not going on fast... as almost all devs are already working on Nougat
Pity... but so it is

thanks for the info. hope to have official cm rom first, android N will be the next step

There is an alpha 7.0 on chinese miui forum .

As pointed out an alpha version was briefly(?) available (link dead now) on MIUI china forums. So can get proprietary 7.0 blobs from that maybe. It is a way off though, we do not have a "stable enough" cm13 to go official with nightlies from build bot yet

Possible I think .Though the system is almost broken, WiFi ,Bluetooth ,data etc works .That means
we can build a cm14 with its blobs and prebuilt kernel.

No, I mean Oreo Android 8.0 the new version. 7.0 is lineage 14. I am not asking for that. I am asking about lineage 15

Don't think anyone is working on it. They are still trying to fix 7.0. There has been a test firmware released for the international variants, so they are busy making ROMs based on that in hopes that a final release comes out. Doesn't work for our phone though. A not so good thing is that lg has just said they are not supporting security patch updates for our phone anymore.

The LG G4 is on a confirmed list of devices getting Lineage OS 15 (Android 8.0 Oreo). It's only a matter of time
Currently no Oreo roms are available for LG G4.

It seems android o development for H815 and H811 is dead in the water.. Or am i wrong ? Is there anyone working on porting android o or is it hopeless?

Not shown here ---> Lineage OS 15 LG Devices

Development i think is done if enough people are using a particular device and H811 is falling in that regard/ now its at 245th place with 910 active downloads. So yeah like i said earlier its dead in terms of development. Also i found another thread for Oreo but that developer also bought a G6 so that project is dead too.
Link to LineageOS stats https://stats.lineageos.org/
Check for your self

kessaras will try it. dont know when he needs help.

OK just talked to kessaras and he told me he is working on Oreo but he has no support and he is the only developer working on it so obviously its going to take a long time. But he is working on it.

Are there any non-stock ROMs that support VoLTE? (MM OK)

I live in a market where Band12 and VoLTE are required to be able to reliably call\text. All the Nougat ROMs don't support VoLTE and I can't find any information on MM based custom roms.
Does Lineage 13 MM support VoLTE? Are there modified stock roms that support it? The LG Crapware is starting to annoy me.

Any Nougat rom can flash the universal VOLTE patch via TWRP --> AOSP based VoLTE Patch
Hope this helps.

I flashed the universal patch zip file and no modem at all. Not even bluetooth or wifi.
It's going to need some tweaking to get it on the G4 but it could be done.

I'm about to throw this at my phone to try it out. We'll see what happens. Going to test using SlimRoms 7.x for 811.
Edit: broke LTE. 3G, Bluetooth, Wifi, etc work still. This is an improvement. Unfortunately since this is my daily use device I cant do any more testing. Maybe I'll buy a 2nd H811 in the future.
