To root or not to root?

Hi everyone, I love modding but I'm worried to lose warranty. Can you tell me which are the real advantages to have warranty? Thank you so much for your time.

transfer app to sd
The main reason I use to rot is to use program like Link2SD. The internal memory is never enough for everything.
I think the only advantage is about the warranty, and depending on the root can have malicious code behind.

You can move apps to the external sd card by going to the Settings > Apps > Select an app > Storage and then hit Change. I don't think you need to use such kind of tools

But can't do it with every app.

Yes, the biggest use to not accept change to SD

In MM you can use an external sdcard as internal storage! Android will move apps then auto magically to the sdcard. No need for root no need for tools like link2sd anymore. Correct me if i miss a point here.

I use Afwall+ firewall to control which apps may call home. Second usage is AdAway that modifies your hosts file to block most ads in all apps, not just browser. A minor goodie is ClockSync that keeps your clock spot on.

you do know root still voids warranty don't you?
LG have a root checking tool RCT that logs if you have rooted your device.

not if you flash stock firmware.. or in the case of bootloop disable main core and root will be deleted when you flash stock KDZ. but unlocking bootloader you must ask LG for unlock.bin key , so i guess they have record that you requested the unlock key.. some have requested key , and say they didnt use it , got bootloop sent for repair and warranty was void and phone wasnt unlocked..

You can always pay for service if you cannot get out of boot loop yourself.
I think it is a risk worth taking considering benefits of rooting.

Who says that? Can you provide links?
Even LG says your warranty is void if you *unlock*, not if you just download the unlock.bin..

If anything happens and your phone has KDZ outs you can just use LGUP to go back to complete stock. I had a boot loader unlocked flag on boot and i used that to get rid of it when I had a bootloop and had to send my phone in for warranty repair.

You're saying a bootloader unlock is reversible/concealable?

its on the bootloop g4 thread... i can provide a link to a way to relock bootloader ... i have not try it..
well apparently thats what one guy said, since they might have record that you downloaded and requested unlock . bin cause i think they ask for something not sure if serial number or imei... so the guys said he assumes they have it on record and belive you unlock it...
link for relocking..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/help/relock-bootloader-h811-t3372970

I asked proof about what you wrote concerning:
LG denying service on the basis of their "who downloaded unlock.bin" database, *even though the device was NOT unlocked*.
Is there any? I would really like to know.. That guy you're referring to, can you find the post please?
Edit: ok, I just noticed the words "thinks" "assumes" and the like. I have read the posts, so don't bother looking. These are not personal experience posts, just assumptions.

Lock Screen Missing Features

Hello everyone. I have recently discovered that my LG G3 (32 GB model, running Android 5.0) has some missing features in the lock screen. The "None" feature which disables the lock screen completely was missing but for some reason it showed up when I deleted the Guest in my phone. I also know from various photos on the internet that the LG G3 has a function where you can unlock your phone by letting it recognise your face. This "Face Recognition" feature is also missing and I haven't managed to find a way to get it back. Can someone help me?

Face Recognition is removed from most of phones nowadays,because easily somebody else can unlock your phone with his face..
And as I've seen some companies are developing this feature.
For the "none" i think in 5.0 LG removed it.(I'm not really sure about that)well you can use "swipe" for now.
Also why don't you upgrade to 6.0?It has the "None" for the lock screen and also it has really great performance!

Yeah well I've tried to upgrade it to Marshmallow but I don't know how. I tried LG pc suite but that didn't work. Do you know how to do it?

No there is no need to Root your device.Only follow the guide that i made.

Okay! Now that I got back my computer I can do it. I just have one more question. My phone will be updated by installing custom roms? Will that wipe off my phone's guarantee? Because it lasts for two more years and I don't want to lose it now.

Well if you found it maybe you should turn it into your local police agency or what ever carrier
No one is gonna help you with this on here as your using a lost or stolen phone which we do not support
since you found it maybe some one is missing it and would like it back?
The security you are encountering is put in place just for people like you

Go to another service centre and say that it happened after a OTA update. You may have a chance if someone which has an authorized account will help you for free. But this is a low chance...

Strange, when I tried this method to flash my phone back to stock, I only had to login with my regular Mi Account when asked, also had logged in the MiFlash Pro app, had opened MiFlash tab from there too, and I could flash using SP Flash Tools provided in the link. I had to try a few times to make it worked staying logged in the mi account (kept the pop up windows on top of the screen). I had phone connected before it rebooted and flashing started straight away. Make sure you follow the guidelines as being given.
Anyway not more I can do to help if that does not work for you good luck!

Question Nokia C30 (ta-1369) FRP bypass

Hi guys,
I got 2 Nokia C30 (ta-1369) running Android 11 that I just can’t bypass FRP…..You just can’t access anything to Stop Google Play or Android setting which is how I did it before….. And no software I know works……
A hard reset with power & vol - doesn’t work either….i needed software to do that and get to the ‘Welcome Screen’….. but still need to bypass FRP……Bootloader locked
Is this now a common issue?
Any advice will be helpful & thanks for reading the post…

The device has to be put in SPD Diag Mode for resetting frp if it cannot connect in SPD U2S diag mode with key combination.
Because we don't have access to hmd flash tool which can reset and fix the device in fastboot mode.
