So, I'm at a total and complete loss as to what to do. I have spent hours upon hours googling, and searching xda and trying step after step after guide after guide and I canNOT fix my S5! I've tried recovery, I've tried Odin and there has got to be something I'm missing. When I plug up the phone into my laptop, it sort of recognizes it, in the sense that it makes the notification noise of it being recognized, as with any external device. Odin picks it up as well. The issue is when trying to boot up the phone, it's stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S5 custom, android etc screen. it will not go past this. i'm almost in tears right now, and just want to get the phone working again. Is there anyone out there that can help???
Tiny update.
So I tried another method, and still having issues. Only difference is, I get past the powered by android screen, but then when getting to the Samsung with the color and oval it freezes and shuts down. One step forward, 2 steps back.

it is the 900a (at&t). after spending hours upon hours. i finally managed to do something and get it back to working again. the band and the firm ware match, and i managed to get rid of the unauthorized actions detected message.
good to hear!! (or see, rather LoL) usually a flash in Odin with the correct tarball fixes most issues with S5's

what do you mean? the posts should still be wherever you found it. And giving thanks to the folks who helped out is one of the things that makes this forum so great. this place is so selfless in the time, energy and knowledge shared by its users!

well, let's just say i have a folder of 26 links, majority from here on trying to find a solution on how to root and consequently unbrick my phone when I messed it up. that's probably not even all of them. I only posted on one asking a question, but it was about upgrading the firmware (still waiting on a reply on that, lol). so I have no clue which post it was that was finally successful in restoring my phone.

oh holy [email protected]!!! according to samsung, no :/
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900A/
thats the only firmware release on their database... thats so weird tho, i have the G900P and it has a dozen or so firmware releases
So I have not been able to obtain this firmware but figured I'd share to see what you ladies/gents could figure out.
http://www.romup.com/search?version=G950USQU1AQCF
Also there is a thread in general discussion and questions section regarding an All_OYN_G950USQU1AQC8 firmware.
idk, seems pretty fishy to me, every I link I see is to pay to download sites for this file. You would think that there would be somewhere online where its free. Probably a bogus download.
lots of scams out there
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I actually paid for a damn firmware this morning All_OYN_G950USQU1AQC8 and received the download from sams-eng.com . Later however I found it for free. Oh well. Haha.

Can you link it please! Where did you find the free one?
I found the free one for the 955 and 950 i was able to find the unlock bootloader option through it not sure if it will work. Was more interested in the boot.img
Not saying it isn't a scam, but romup is actually a fairly reputable site. People posting leaked firmware all the time straight from the factory. A few other Asian sites like this one have some juicy stuff, not just for Exynos/other unlocked loader models. So don't discourage it, translate it and see what they have to say and maybe even test it. I personally don't want to take the risk with my phone but someone kinda has to. Anyways, done with my little rant.
Would this Engboot be good for snapdragon variants? I remember the S7 Edge had a locked bootloader, but you could still atleast root it

Im working on this right now. Give me a little bit had a kid last year so im trying my best to get this done right now while i have time.
Wait so do you have a copy of that firmware? I can't obtain that one bc I have no way of paying in yuan.
Also is there a way to flash a firmware where root is natively in the firmware? I always thought we had to unlock the bootloader and root and then flash recovery. Unless it was the recovery that always tripped knox.
Hi Br3w3r,
I just wanted to say thanks and ask you a little about how you coerce these engineering firmwares to allow root mode. Do you reverse engineer it? Just curious.
Found a newer version of ODIN and enabled the grayed out buttons. Maybe it could help?
ODIN 3.12.7 with UMS and USERDATA already enabled: https://mega.nz/#F!8WxRwDwa!seZLQVSoWTrz2CJkbdxTkQ
Interesting... so if I am reading this right. Someone is trying to work on snapdragon now?
I have purchased a copy of the firmware posted by the OP, although it was bought off of a different website. This is a factory binary, that has SElinux as permissive, OEM unlock says it unlocks bootloader, etc

I've done a bit of research, searched through threads on this forum, and I still have no idea what I'm doing. The last phone I rooted was a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket.
What's the simple-man's way of rooting the T-Mobile variant of the LG V20? I see the below threads:

First which firmware are you on now? 10i, 10j, 10k, what? I think 10k is not rootable. But... If you have older firmwares then you can root with dirtycow method. it is not that hard. I think the hardest part should be to try to flash the twrp (but even that was easy at least for me an average flasher and tester). If you have any issues, the system will usually restore to the original image as a last resort.

The 10j kdz version is to be flashed with LG UP if you needed it. but up to now it is better you dont move further from 10j, because 10k is not rootable (i believe I've seen). If you want to have 10k you can flash 10j and then flash via twrp a zip of the stock rom with 10k

Encryption is mostly used for companies as extra security . But if i dont misremember , it is necessary to do it. Best thing would be to follow the instructions provided on the original thread.
T-Mobile LG V2010t
Hey all I new at all this and I'm trying to unlock or root my T-Mobile LG V20. I've never done any of this stuff, but I want to be able to use this phone on a network other than T-Mobile. Can anyone give this rookie ( me) some help?
T-Mobile won't unlock it for me. The day there is a balance owed on it. And when I tried the unlock app. It say failure in processing the request. Please reboot and try again.. If you can walk me through this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!

Why did you reply to a post from last year for this?
Rooting has nothing to do with network unlocking the phone (and if it's on 10t or really anything past 10k it's unrootable anyway).
Your best option is to get T-MOBILE to unlock it, otherwise there are some other third party websites which may be able to unlock it for a fee.

I'm sorry my bad. I'm new here and did know how to start a thread. I just thought someone here might be able to help me. I didn't want to cause any problems. But I've tried T-Mobile support,T-Mobile store' called around here and tried several online 3rd party. And because of the message I get when I try to unlock it, nobody can help. So I figured there were some smart people here,they might be able to help me (rookie). Sorry I caused you trouble.

Wow really. It was a simple question. I used the software on my own V20 but not from that build. Verizon inabled the antirollback on this new update. that's why I asked. Plus if it was my phone I would do it but being its my wife's I rather be safe then sorry. Last I new XDA is were you read and ask questions. Ill be sure to not ask you for any info or help in the future.

I literally answered a question, then you followed up by requesting verification on that answer. That's pretty rude dude, if that's how you handle your questions then yeah don't ask please.
But in an effort to help, I wasn't aware of any anti-rollback in place. However, since I personally wanted to try the newest update, I just took the Ota to 15a. Then, using Uppercut, went back to 12a.
If that's your plan, to go back to either 12a or 13a, I'd recommend right after Uppercut completes to do a factory reset as you will likely get overwhelmed with force closes (kdz with uppercut doesn't wipe data). Then after you're on a clean slate 12a or 13a, right away enable airplane mode so your phone doesn't hang trying to download everything. All you're interested in is enabling USB debugging for dirty santa (i assume).
Make sense?

When I ask verified I ment was it in a thread or something didn't know for 100% if you did it or read it and if I'm not mistaken the last update was also bootloader unlockable. I read the forum a lot I ment no disrespect when asking the question. As you can tell I've been a member about as long as you and come to XDA very often. Granted yes Google does work but when i looked in to it about the downgrade all I found was how the verizon V20 has gotten root witch was a old article as we all know. I unlocked mine on version 12. Thank you for your reply it was helpful and now I feel safe enough to do my wife's phone.

however i do face smart a$$es with the let me google this for you and knowing that it wont be on the top to what i am looking for, i faced that issue when i got lucky to my on android 5.1.1 on my v10 and some people did not wont to make it easy, it took me a few hours to find to do a 30 min root method
some times you dont need a verified post and do understand about the anti rollback but i dont see anyone lieing to make you purpusly mess up your phone or they can face problems
there are a few people i knew that are no longer on xda cause of issues and xda banned them for it, so you have no worries. if you want me to make a video of downgrading 15A to 13A that is rootable i be glad to take that guys word, credit him on the video and show proof

Yes, I have faced similar issues. But I always fall back on Uppercut. If you're truly stuck then try to wipe everything including internal storage, system, etc. Then do the Uppercut method, that always fixes every issue I've had.
Edit:to be clear, I've had plenty of issues similar to you. However, rather than identify the problem I always just wipe the slate clean. With that said, I suspect a lot of what you're facing and issues I had were kernel related.

If you wanted to troubleshoot what you have now, you could try a different kernel or even stock boot.img would be best. If still no change then always fall back to the full wipe and Uppercut.

I personally use reStock or modStock. Those both have been successful for me.
Check here for the stock boot.img https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/device-kernel-aka-boot-img-s-carrier-t3533426
No need for the shoutout or anything. I'm just passing the info along that might help.

Well my phone got so worse that i could not make a facebook call to my girl. It was always choppy like wtf. So i took your first idea. Wipe the POS, system, cache etc. And uppercut it. Now it runs snappy with 13a with root and restock. I checkout the link when i get home. As for the shoutout its for the help you give me. The devs will get their thanks for making things possible i give this phone another month and see if it works. If it dose with all bs off of it (bloatware) i make a video for those who was asking for it. Thanka for the help you are awesome and i keep you updated how my v20 is. My brothers wife has same issues i do and if my phone works maybe she will let me root hers. Just hope they dont give out a update with anti rollback

Glad you got yours taken care of. Did you do the airplane mode thing? I only bring it up because I flip flop back and forth so many times from stock unroot to root access (I'm indecisive).
I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think as long as we have the kdz file, there will always be a way to downgrade. I think the kdz is a total device wide wipe/reinstall regardless of whatever version was on before.

true but i want to know if you dont mind testing new OTA when they come out to see if they can downgrade, if you dont wont to its fine i dont wont to take the chance as the phone has been a POS and hoping the full wipe/ uppercut fixes my issue forever at least, reasion im asking to test is im pretty sure my brothers wife updates her phone and i am trying to get to to let me have the phone so i can fix it and give it back so she can atleast be happy with a phone with no regrets
I have a VS995 I took the OTA 15A updated and I just used LGUP to downgrade back to 12A
Off subject question did you notice your GPS taking forever to find your location on google maps or waze while your VS995 was rooted. I kept having this issue so I went back to full stock and the issue went away.

Hello! I have lately been using a Samsung galaxy S5 on Verizon, and it has served me well. But, I recently had just gotten a new Samsung Galaxy S7 flat (Sm-G9300V). I have actually used the edge before, but wasn't a fan of it, so I used the S5. I had heard that this phone is now able to be rooted on the Verizon version of the phones. So, I have followed many guides, and have searched my build number for root, and a bunch of other things. I will post some screenshots of my phones information if you can help. Another issue I've been having is when I try to flash the ENGBOOT from multiple different XDA forums, my ODIN keeps failing, even though I've turned on USB debugging and OEM unlock in the developer settings. If anyone could tell me if i'm doing something wrong, and maybe point me in the right direction if you can, this would be much appreciated. If you are willing to help, I would be more than happy to give more information. (Also, flashing a stock firmware wont even work, and It is the Verizon firmware) The pictures are an attachment, sorry I don't know how to put pictures on a thread.:good:
Save your time. There currently is no root for your software version. Your software is bootloader "B" (G930VVRSBCTC1) of which there is no ENG root file as of yet.
Oh. Thank you, though!
Bumping this. Anyone know anything if something new came out of this bootloader?
