Cant get to bootloader was the issue for rooting this phone. But now with the latest update you can oem unlock and then enable usb debugging. This is how you get to unlock the bootloader. Then its on from there. So, lets get some root on this thing guys.
Update please!!
So then what version ota is that they change it?

Hello:
I am trying to follow the instructions to unlock the bootloader on my Sprint G900P Galaxy S5.
I installed the ADB SDK, the Samsung USB driver, turned on USB debugging on my phone, and connected it to my computer.
I typed adb reboot bootloader and the phone rebooted into a screen to download software to it.
Next, I typed fastboot oem unlock and I get a message on the screen < waiting for any device >
and it does nothing.
This is strange because obviously the computer was able to send the adb command to the phone so there is communication.
Why would is stop at the fastboot step?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Neil
Ummm dude your booloader is already unlocked since it's from Sprint. You just go into your Dev options and toggle on OEM UNLOCK and your all set

When I go to Developer Options, I do not see an OEM UNLOCK option. Any ideas?

It's most likely already unlocked.

I went to Google Play Store and installed the Root Checker by Clivin Inc.
When I ran the app, it says: Your device is not rooted
I am not sure where to go from here.

Hi,
Just wondering what are you going to achieve ...
1. Don't bother with any "oem unlock" options as there is no any in your phone model. Your bootloader is uncloked by default and that's it.
2. Rooting is different story - if you didn't root your device yet then the root checkers will tell you exactly this -> so you need to root your phone to get different reply

I did not realize that. Thanks for the info.
I used the SkipSoft Unified Toolkit to root the device.
Thanks,

Hey all, so I've been looking over the forums and the web for a way to root my Lg-h872, only thing u can find are instructions on how to root the lg-h870. Any ideas???
I was able to unlock the boot loader though. Also the phone is on T-mobile.
There is no way to root H872 atm
That sucks. I'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Question, the bootloader is unlockable, but still no root is possible?

Bootloader is unlocked but all fastboot commands are disabled so you can flash nothing

Why would you want to relock it? But if you wish to do so, you'll need to firstly enable developer options, once done go to settings then developer options, then you will see oem unlock, if that switch is to the right then boot loader is unlocked, to relock bootloader just press and move so that switch is to th3 left

Because, google play says that my device is uncertified and I can't install Netflix

You're mixing up two different things, oem unlock that unlocks the bootloader is disabled on the g950f, you have to enabled it yourself. The unlock code is for carrier locks, totally different thing. You might as well root it now and use magisk to hide root from netflix.

That's the thing, I wasn't rooted but I had unlocked bootloader and it wasn't working.
Now that I've rooted it using Magisk, the device is "certified"
I'm quite interested in buying this device (Nova 3i), but it's very important to me that i can root it.
I've noticed that the option "OEM Unlock" is not greyed out, and can be easily enabled, at least in the devices that are sold in my country.
So the question is:
Is it enought to enable "OEM Unlock" in "Developer Options" from the phone settings to unlock the bootloader and I can simply install TWRP afterthat?
Or do I still have to unlock it using unlock key from Huawei Website (which is unavailable)?
And if not, is there any other way to root it? Has anyone had luck in rooting it (e.g. Kingroot, etc)?
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to unlock my bootloader and root my phone but I am unable to turn on the OEM unlocking feature in developers options. Several months ago I returned/restored the phone's stock image. I previously rooted my phone but decided to unroot it. Now I am attempting to root it again but I cannot unlock the bootloader by switching on OEM unlocking.
The OEM Unlocking option is greyed out and appears to be locked or inaccessible. I have attached a screen shot.
Can someone tell me what I must do to fix this.

Are you sure the BL is locked now? If not boot into BL and check it. In any case Google is your friend:

That's why I don't see any sense in relocking, I can't find any advantage in it.

I hear you Wolfcity. And it is something that seems to come up on every device I have owned starting with the Moto G2 (G3, G4, G5+, & G5s+). I have had users flat out tell me I am wrong and that you need to relock the device in order to go back to stock or remove root. :silly:
