Root Be real, What are the hopes for this phone?

[jmar7953]

Are there any hopes for the bootloader being unlocked? Without that, we have no hope for any custom roms or overclocking. This phone has HUGE potential but I'm growing impatient. I almost want to switch to my old evo again lol

Also, this method worked for my L90, but be careful. I bricked my Volt once on accident while I had one

Why does everyone keep saying we have an unlocked bootloader?

Because you can unlock the boot loader?

 

[donjuro]

No you can't. It's not unlocked.

 

[DevoutDev]

Did you read the post that I linked to?

 

[DevoutDev]

No you can't. It's not unlocked.

There's another one. All you do is run FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK in fastboot

I don't think so.

Edit
Sorry, wrong forum

 

[DevoutDev]

I don't think so.

This is for the LG Volt or any in that family.

Yeah, this works and has been proven to work

No problem.

I am running CyanogenMod on my T-Mobile variant of the Volt which requires an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.

It seemes after i made the thread and cooked up a cwm recovery that it might not truly be unlocked. You can fastboot boot the recovery just fine, but if you flash the recovery and attempt to boot into it you get a secure boot error.

And the l90 d415 IS NOT the same. They use completely different aboot versions, the one on your phone does not have secureboot in the aboot. So when the bootloader is unlocked, its really unlocked.

I didn't say they were the same. I said they were similar.

I am basing this off of threads that I have read. Since the boot loader reported as being unlocked after I tried this method, it seemed to be unlocked.

It seems that a dev for this phone might have to work on Loki

So how can you say the F90 is bootloader unlocked based off the L90 when they're two different phones?

Because I am running CyanogenMod and a custom recovery which both require an unlock bootloader

Removed a couple posts here and yeah, we roll a little different here at AF so lets keep it respectful.

I've got boost as well, but I got mine through radio shack. If I brick my phone, will my insurance through radio shack cover a replacement?

Since my post was removed I guess I'll restate what I last said in a nicer manner. Blondgod, the L90 and F90 are two different phones, they're similar but not the same and just because the L90 has an unlocked bootloader DOES NOT mean that the volt has an unlocked bootloader. I hope you understand now.

I'm not going to bother with it. I'll put this in a nice manner, if someone puts down everything I have to say, there is no need for me to keep speaking to them. I have move back to helping out the Optimus F3 crowd with my work that I have been doing.

Have a nice day sir!
