Android Q Beta 3 On The G8! - LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Fresh off of the presses, The LG G8 has an Android Q Beta! Beta 3 to be exact.
It is ready to go as soon as you unlock the bootloader. Also you will need to have a windows install to run the EXE.
If you dont like it you can roll back with the same app.
All Info and how to do it can be found here. LG G8 Android Q Beta
I shall be doing it as soon as I'm done with my review!

Heading to the OnePlus 7 Pro launch next

I will certainly be following this project as of right now there's too many limitations for me as this is my daily driver phone but I'm certainly going to be flashing this on my OnePlus 6T.

On nice let me know how you like it. I have the 6T also but won't play with that until I can get the 7 Pro Next to it for a comparison. Busy month

Unfortunately it says my device isn't supported. I guess only the Korean models are eligible.

Oh this is interesting. Which model do you have? What carrier? Did you unlock the bootloader first?
Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk

Oh well... Looks like the OEM unlock option is not only grayed out on my Verizon model. It is just nonexistant! LG still bending over for Verizon here...

I'm on Sprint but I can't even access the bootloader. Using adb reboot bootloader or the recovery menu option just makes the phone reboot normally.

Might be possible to flash Korean firmware for it but I haven't tried and would probably lose support for some bands.

The yellow warning sign in the article says it will only work with Korean phones, and the best way to ensure compatibility is to buy a phone in Korea.
I have a feeling LG will lock bootloaders on all US consumer phones for the forseeable future. I hope I'm wrong.

So no US support?

I believe Wallet requires ICS.
I used the Galaxy Nexus workaround to get this working on my T-Mobile Nexus S. Thanks!

I recently flashed back to 2.3.4 on my NS4G and it said it was not supported. When I updated to 2.3.7 it did not display that message.
Wallet app does have many bugs and it doesn't work in some countries. I have many 'force close's while i was using it
I'm guessing since wallet needs ics to work that means ics is coming really soon to the i9020a

I contacted LG and they said no jelly bean report yet. And no answer for unlocked boot loader. I hope we get it soon or maybe need to flash kdz when it arrives. I think, I asked the wrong department about boot Loader.
What is bootloader?

Google is your friend. And op, europe gets everything first. But im sure you will get jellybean eventually. And if you dont, flash eu firmware.

Hope we get unlocked boot loader in every 4x, even in india.
LG's regional support is a piece of sh*t, they just don't know anything. Everyone will get JB and unlocked bootloader for sure.

Unlocked Moto X questions

Been doing some searching on the Moto X. Two questions that I need help with ASAP.
1. Can the GSM unlocked version be put on AT&T wihtout issue?
2. Since it is the carrier unlocked version can I unlock the bootloader?
Can't find anything out there.
Also, is there still an easy root exploit out there?
I want to pick up a wood backed companion for the Nexus...
Which model?

So basically everything but band 5, if I want to use it on AT&T. That may be worth it to get an unlockable bootloader.
So I am not new at this. Owned several Nexus devices all rooted within hours of ownership. But this multiple versions is confusing the **** out of me. I am ordering the XT1053. Can I just unlocked the bootloader through Moto's site and then go through ADB and flash TWRP or CWN and install SU?

1. Yes. I currently use an at&t mvno and pick up LTE with my unlocked X.
2. Yes. You will void your warranty if you request a code though. Unless you buy the developer edition. Unfortunately the Dev ed is not available through motomaker.
Don't know about easily rooting though. This is the first android I've owned where I haven't felt the need to root yet.

Are international rootable note 9 phones (DS and 9600) the same for using in the US?

Hi,
I want to buy a note 9 that I can root and use in the US. I have the US version right now and I can't live with it (without root). I need the headphone jack for my car and for getting OTA radio - so the note 10 is not an option for me.
From my reading it is either the N960F, N960FD (exynos for t-mobile) or the N9600 (snapdragon for Verizon)
What I can't figure out is if I get one with the 8/512GB if all the country versions are equivalent for working on US networks
With the 960FD are all the versions the same for using with T-mobile in the USA? Do I need to worry about the country it was intended for/came from?
With the 9600 are all the versions the same for using with Verizon in the USA? Do I need to worry about the country it was intended for/came from?
Do you have any suggestions about how to make sure I get a decent one (an actual new phone instead of someone trying to cheat me)?
Do they all still ship with Oreo? I don't want to go to pie.
Thank you very much for your help and suggestions.
I've got the 9600 single sim. the boot loader is unlockable and u can root custom install if so desire. new on Amazon for around 500ish

Are you running it on Verizon? Thank you for your help.
when i originally bought the phone it came loaded with Android 8.1 all I did was pop in my sim card and go.. nothing else needed to happen. I'm on cricket wireless which is also ATT

one more thing to note my phone was from latin America. when if when you start getting into that I will find something like this in the settings.
TGY/TGY/PCT <---> Hongkong/Hongkong/Puerto Rico
these are also known as CSC. little bit of googling and ur understand a bit more
basically it equates to country codes
I changed mine to Hong Kong, because I've been messing with custom firmware and rooting. still on cricket and living in KY.

The N9600 is a dualSIM device. Are you sure that you purchased a N9600?

Need some advice.

Hi I have just been gifted a note 8 which is the snapdragon model from the U.S but I'm in the UK. My device is a greatqleue, is there any root method or custom roms for this model. I don't even know if it's a Verizon, sprint or other u.s carrier and far as i can tell it's running the XAA csc and the n950U1UEU7DTC3. Hope some one can help clear some things up.

You have a locked bootloader on the SM-N950U1. No custom roms, kernels, and No TWRP recovery.
You only have root for Android Nougat! No root for Oreo or PIE!
Do a xda search for "safestrap" for putting Oreo or nougat back on using Bootloader version 7 and "Extreme Syndicate" for Nougat ROOT (it doesn't UNLOCKED bootloader)!
They're in the "Note 8 Rom section".

Wow. How come there isn't any root method for newer os and how come bootloader cant be unlocked? For this specific device
There are to many things to consider to answer the "how come" question..lol. There hasn't been an unlocked bootloader on a US Snapdragon device for many many years.

Ah, I understand! Shame really, I know of some "soft" mods that work without root like theming etc but it's a shame. And when I got the dtc3 update I noticed it's still on the March security patch instead of april?
