If you thought you could Improve Performance By root; With the Qualcomm SM8250 Snapdragon 865 Octa-Core processor and 6/8 GB RAM, your device can perform well.

It will boot you to a Non-Rooted environment.

When you accidentally urged and boot frequently, Don’t panic; after setup everything, switch off your device and boot into Rooted OS using above mentioned keys.

    You never mentioned what the combination keys to boot into the rooted OS environment are.
    Also, you stated that TWRP was not yet available a couple of times, yet the instructions indicate flashing the TWRP (in fact, one of the downloaded files).
    Please clarify both.

      Here we are using Unofficial TWRP. So, You can install the official TWRP once it is available. Since we are using TWRP, a Regular Recovery boot combination will boot you to the TWRP screen.

    This method doesn’t seem to work for “W” version, at least, since I don’t see the option of “Oem unlock.” This option appears to be unavailable after enabling developer options.

      Sometimes based on the region you have to wait for 7 days to get OEM Unlock to enable.

          Is your mobile carrier locked? Can you use different carriers on your mobile?.

            No, it is not carrier-locked. I can use any carrier / SIM from any country. I have already tried and verified this.

    I just bought my G7810, and I’m wondering if it’s worth waiting for the official TWRP release. What is the usual difference between official vs. unofficial TWRP?

      Official version mostly free from bugs and working. In the Unofficial version, Sometimes, Some options may not work. But When we post, we select the TWRP, which does not affect the regular activities.

    Hi Selva,
    I got a different question as you got great knowledge in rooting and ROM upgrades.
    Do you know if it is safe to change ROM from HK/Chinese to Global? (G7810 to G781B)
    Assuming they both are Snapdragon variants.
    It looks like HK is still without One UI 3.0 ๐Ÿ™‚

      It may or may not work with all features. You will lose firmware related features like VoLTE, Wi-Fi calling like that.
