This is a thread for the progress of MM root on the AT&T variant of the LG V10. I am working to find a way to root it, even if it is not through a TOT, but a exploit.
I know some of you were wondering about my donate info, and so I decided to go and set up a Paypal if you felt so obliged haha. (Its in my info in my profile)
Right now I am examining a TOT that someone sent me and I will determine if it is corrupted too, or if we have a shred of hope. Wish me luck! Will update later if it is found that it is bad, which I expect.
Ok, so I just compared this TOT to the one that iBowToAndroid sent me, the 2nd time. They are practically identical, regardless of them having different MD5s. Although if anyone feels like actually testing it before they go to better phone, feel free. ha
If it will be possible (and when you will find a way), please, make possible for H960a too.
Well, i am happy to see someone is making progress on the root development on MM, at least, make the community alive.
However, MM needs systemless root and the old way by injecting su binary to the TOT will not work at all.
I am not going to discourage you, unlocking bootloader should be the only way to root MM.

Unlocking bootloader is something else I currently working on, if the su binary inject does not. Right now I am planning to pull the entire systems contents by soldering off the storage chip and reading it using some hardware of mine. Once I copy all of the partitions over, then the fun begins

The KDZ files used by LGUP include an image of most of the flash used by the system. A few portions are missing, but not very many, notably the "misc" portion is absent. I believe the missing portions are ones that would be unaffected by rooting, so you could get most of the data out of a KDZ file and then root to get the rest of the data.
Aside from the key for the bootloader potentially being in the "misc" area, I also noticed there is noticeable amount of space reserved by the GPT, but unused. There is also a noticeable amount of unallocated space between the GPT and first slice (the "modem" area; this could be for alignment purposes, but it could have other uses as well).
Hopefully LG will be persuaded to unlock the bootloader of all V10 models, but I'm a bit on the pessimistic side at this point. I also hope the unlock mechanism will be shared by all V10s, so we don't need to reproduce it for each device. I haven't done cracking before, but I hope to target the H962 and be able to install full mods in the future...
How goes the progress ZVNexus? Thanks so much for embarking on such a journey for the sake of us all. I loved the flexibility of my Nexus 6, but it was so much weaker than the V10 in so many areas...especially the camera functionality and the ridiculous amount of sluggishness during normal tasks. I went through around 10 of these phones due to QC issues. I'm happy with my V10 (at&t gave me a replacement since I warranty returned the nexus so many times). But, it's just not the same without root and unlocked bootloader. Thank you again!
I found this today..I am sure you have seen it but I figured I would put it here anyway. I downloaded it but figured someone smarter should look before I tried to flash it. I cannot post it. Someone posted it on the original mm tot download thread..it was posted by radical.
In Theory...
In theory...
Are stock MM KDZ files available for the AT&T V10? I haven't seen them in the KDZ thread, but they may be posted in the AT&T area. If so, it should be possible to use my KDZ tools to unpack the KDZ, then install Superuser in the image and then repack the KDZ and tell LGUP to install the modified KDZ.
At the moment I'm cautiously optimistic about the KDZ tools. I've got all of the fields inside the files identified, but there some hazardously big ones in the DZ header that are unknown. My tools simply copy those, but I worry. Also SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE are available on Linux, but likely not on Windows. (hack: replacing SEEK_HOLE with io.SEEK_END at the top of image2chunks.py should work around errors)
any update on this project?
I follow the V20 threads and all the V20s have root now. From what I read they used a debug boot.img from a Developer V20 and extracted the boot.img and used an exploit from the DirtyCow Root method to flash it. You have to really be involved to root it.
Just seeing where this can take the V10.
Any Update?
Sir is there any update on the root for at&t LG v10? Waiting anxiously!!

Nope. The hope of root for this phone was crushed long ago. Almost time for everyone to get new ones.
I am going to upgrade my phone from lg v10 to v20. Can you confirm me that is every lg v20 mobile carrier version ROOTABLE or i should buy a specific version?

Hello everyone
I am a samsung user from years but i have now lg g3 at&t variant d850 running 6.0 marshmallow never rooted before .
I tried to root this with kingroot kingoroot apk and pc version but can't root.
I saw many posts here says i have to downgrade to kitkat to root and install twrp but my question is if i downgrade and fLAsh kitkat OR LOLLIPOP can i flash cm14 nougat or resurrection remix nougat 7.1.2 on kitkat/lollipop bootloader? In samsung phones the bootloader/baseband should match with the os that i have to flash so how is in the lg Works? Can i flash nougat/marshmallow roms on kitkat/lollipop bootloader/baseband?
I really appreciate if someone can show me some right instructions TIA.
Edit-i downgraded to 4.4.2 kitkat by LGUP and rooted by kingroot app then flashed twrp using flashify and flashed fulmics rom from twrp
Reached the goal

fulmics is the best rom for g3 IMO i am using from last 2 months and no issues whatsoever infact in terms of sound quality & performance this rom is amazing..actually my g3 became better then my friends g5 software wise.
BTW i have a h811 tmobile lg g4 hard bricked i flashed lower version of kdz and it got bricked no download mode no recovery.
i believe it was running 21y software and i flashed 20v and i did almost all methods to unbrick this thing but no luck until now ,
i tried microsd card method but still no download mode
qpst qfil method with firehose and raw program files for h811 but it fails such as device is not in firehose mode and sahara fail .at this point i fed up and not trying and thing else.
i really appreciate if you help me to unbrick this thing.
thank you.

There is a man stedfasterx. He is the unhardbrick master. I know it involves turn8ng it to a ls991 permently sprint g4.
One thing I never did was hard brick a G4 lol. Did g2 g3. And g5
I noticed u say still no dl mode does that mean revocery and such is working.

This is for the development of a root procedure for the LS997. Any posts that are too off-topic, I will ask to have deleted. I have a method that will work for the LS997, but sorry, I am not posting it till we get Oreo.
This thread will attempt to use holes that have already been patched. There are no guarantees that this will work, but it gives me something to do while waiting for Oreo, and if it pans out, LS997 gets root NOW!
So, with the LS997 we have a couple of problems:
1 - There is no KDZ available
2 - ARB is incremented, so a KDZ from another model can't be used since the H918 is the only other model that is ARB 1, and the RSA sig doesn't match
3 - The bootloader is locked, so it needs the engineering bootloader
4 - LAF is locked down by an additional qfuse that the other models don't have blown
So, how do we get around these problems? That is what this thread is about.
I am NOT posting links so that someone doesn't just grab the stuff and brick their phone. If you have to search for it, then maybe you will actually read the risks:
Attempt 1:
* Grab the patched LG UP
* Grab the H918 10j KDZ -- it MUST be 10j
* Using partition download mode, try to flash laf and ONLY laf.
If LG UP complains that partitions have changed -- STOP! Do NOT click OK, and report the results here.
If you get that message, and you let LG UP flash, it will flash MORE than just the H918 laf (which is safe to flash), and your phone will be bricked since the RSA key won't match for the other partitions.
If it doesn't complain about partitions being different, then it is safe to flash since only laf will be flashed.
Again, if that is the case, report back here and we can move on.
Yea, so scratch that. I had been missing a BIG part of Android Verified Boot. Please see my post here: [insert link]

Finally your post this thread, thank you Brain.
However LS997 is the only smartphone I have now, so I can't try to brick it
Will we be able to flash the dirty santa bootloader after rooting the phone using your method?
It has been confirmed that If you have the engineering bootloader, AND have a fusing device (which AFAIK all LS997 are), AND install firmware that is ARB 1 or greater, it will brick your phone.
If you are ARB 1 or greater, and install the eng. bootloader -- brick.
When I was doing testing on ARB and the engineering bootloader, I was doing it on a non-fusing device, so my results are null and void.
So, we need a method of unlocking the production bootloader -- and there is, just not the LS997 aboot. It would require flashing either the H915 or US996 aboot, and you can't do that due to ARB.
Unless an engineering aboot leaks that is ARB 1 or an engineering boot leaks that has dm-verity disabled, or a flaw is found in the current aboot, I do not see the LS997 getting root.
EDIT: not trying to keep too much hope alive, but if when Oreo is released, they increment ARB on either the H915 or US996 and DON'T increment it on the LS997, then you would be able to flash either aboot and root....

Ok so LG just started to roll out Oreo to South Korean models. Time to cross my fingers that US996 or H915 gets ARB incremented when they get Oreo. ?

Ik, but I was just hoping if and when the us996 and h915 models get Oreo, the ARB gets incremented for them.
Hey everyone, some good news! The Oreo update for the LS997 has been released today, version LS99720a. First US V20 phone to get Oreo. Someone mentioned on reddit it might get a KDZ as it doesn't follow Sprint's versioning of ZVA ZVB etc. Best of all Anti Rollback (ARB) is still 1: https://imgur.com/a/fBlRxN7 I'm downloading it now and it's 1.8GB in size. Next up is possibly the AT&T H910 as it's already on LG's Open Source since mid July. 'Final' release of Oreo for V20 is on August 7 2018 in the US.
LS997 arb=1, let’s wait for H915 and Ú996
So... stay on nougat till other Oreo versions are released? Or is it ok to upgrade?
Yes, you can upgrade. Rollback will not be needed -- although I am sure you could. The determining factor on rooting the LS997 is finding an aboot that either has a security hole, or they have to increment ARB on the US996.
If neither of those things happen, then the LS997 will remain without root.

No it's not the case see my previous answer
We should be able to get around this gimped fastboot by incorperating that boot.img from the EM varient into an "update" once the phone is cross flashed. To 710EM it will have "adb update" command (it will also think the update is for itself since the firmware matches what were flashing we can put this into a flashable.zip (im like 75% sure this is how its done). Then use the command "adb update boot /path to patch boot/" alternatively could we incorperate our patched boot.img into a kdz and flash it with a patched LGup? Once the phone is rooted with magisk we could use the twrp app to flash twrp and fastboot commands wont be extremely relevant
The problem is, how to remove or get around the correct oem unlock allowed verification system. Unpacking a .img and editing is not a problem, i am just not exactly sure what to edit.

I'm will definitely get root on every other device but there's two things that stop us.
1) it's impossible to extract anything from a kdz and a .up file (LGs way of updating)
2) dm-verify (but it's possible to get around)

So for dm-verify I know how to manually get around that and the patch thats floating around via flashable.zip. What do we need to extract from the .up or .kdz? Im pretty sure there is a full kdz dump for the 710EM in a thread I read through just last night? I really believe the only obstacle we have is making the bootloader unlock through a command line independent of the official unlock code. This should be able to be acheived by editing that in a way to where it doesnt check much like dm-verity. Then you can flash your (patched by deletion) boot.img run fastboot oem unlock ( btw did you know that "fastboot oem flashing unlock critical works) **could run that then flash an unlock.bin, then fastboot oem unlock unlock.bin** I am working with a 710pm varient. And am speaking from experience rooting the v30 ls version currently using G7 as daily driver
This leaves me thinking that we have lots of wiggle room here (also leaves me thinking how weird LG is for having a lot of variation within G7)

There is no cross flashing on the G7 (or V35 or V40) unless you want a brick. LG got smart after the V30 WTF exploit and now uses a different RSA cert for every model.

Yes but we will figure it out eventually so we can flash the EM firmware and unlock the bootloader then root and install TWRP then AOSP. I am waiting on my octoplus box to arrive then I'll be testing cross flashing for others to sort out what's needed.

Warning!
From what I read recently; LG has started to use unique RSA keys for each device (within a group, i.e G7) starting with V35 (I think), thus flashing a KDZ from another G7 would definitively cause hardbrick.
Edit: Apparently this was (mostly?) wrong. At least some confirmed models can be cross-flashed.

Well, like I said, not anymore.
IIRC, this is what @runningnak3d said in a tread somewhere (I don't recall exactly, maybe V30 forums).
He is the current resident expert on LG root, and bootloader matters. At least the most active one, and he's provided root for many previous LG devices.

I am definitely not arguing as I dont know the answer 100% myself.
What I DO know for sure is that I can, (and I have) flashed other LG G7's firmware on my G7 (Sprint) through my Octoplus box. This is using the Octoplus box, not LGUP, but if the RSA keys were an issue, I would expect it to not work (flashing another variant .KDZ), or I would expect the device not to work (boot) afterwards. It boots and works just fine. I also know of numerous others who have converted their LG G7's (except TMobile) to the unlocked model (ULM). My understanding was that only the TMobile ones were using a custom RSA key coming FROM TMobile themselves (I could be wrong but this is what I read) and since I dont own a TMobile flavor, I cant test myself to confirm.
In that case maybe I remember wrong, or runningnak3d statement was not accurate (maybe doesn't apply to G7 specifically).

All good, I dont know for sure myself so I cant confirm nor deny anything except for my personal Octoplus flashing. I just want ROOT, thats what I am pressing through to figure out how to achieve. I HATE that LG locks the bootloaders, if I had known prior, I would NEVER have switched from HTC!
LG mobile will go out of business soon enough if they dont cut the crap.
Yeah, not to mention that we don't have a way to fix ourselves bricked devices. It would be a trivial matter with a simple qualcomm type firehose-file.
Instead now it's basically dead weight. They seem to think it's ok to produce lots of electronic garbage, and not make efforts to reduce this.

Exactly, hopefully the drop in sales will be enough to kick their butt's in gear BEFORE they become the next Blackberry! If they would simply give us a restore KDZ, we would love LG, instead, they lock us out, and make it damn near impossible to restore or recover our devices from normal things, such as a bad OTA updates. BUT NO, for some dumb A$$ reasons, they dont so it WILL be their demise. Its almost like being able to see the future. If they took notice of all the predecessors before them, all their mistakes, made changes then history wouldn't have to repeat itself. If not, LG will be another forgotten company no one gives a crap about.

I am definitely not arguing as I dont know the answer 100% myself.
What I DO know for sure is that I can, (and I have) flashed other LG G7's firmware on my G7 (Sprint) through my Octoplus box. This is using the Octoplus box, not LGUP, but if the RSA keys were an issue, I would expect it to not work (flashing another variant .KDZ), or I would expect the device not to work (boot) afterwards. It boots and works just fine. I also know of numerous others who have converted their LG G7's (except TMobile) to the unlocked model (ULM). My understanding was that only the TMobile ones were using a custom RSA key coming FROM TMobile themselves (I could be wrong but this is what I read) and since I dont own a TMobile flavor, I cant test myself to confirm.

What partitions did you flash?
All of the KDZs I have been able to pull down have different RSA certs (granted it is only a couple) but it is not just the TMO that was different.
If you don't mind, link to the exact KDZ for your model, and the KDZ that you flashed -- I would love to compare the certs.

There is no KDZ for the PM (Sprint model) yet so I cannot go back to Sprint or link to one (until one is released) but I wish there was one for others who are in a loop or brick situation, here are the 2 I used:
EM (European Model - bootload unlockable approved by LG):
G710EM10b_00_0521.kdz
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W14Y-jbvnwDt4UOfitni8hDGfwYsXesV/view?usp=sharing
ULM (US Unlocked Model):
G710ULM10g_00_NAO_US_OP_0913.kdz
http://pkg02.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/d...XADM55F9FR80/G710ULM10g_00_NAO_US_OP_0913.kdz
I flash ALL partitions through Octoplus EXCEPT the modems (MODEM1/2), I left those from Sprint (stock), not sure if it helps or not, but I have service so I like to think it did. There are lots of users who have also used the LGUP (somehow) to cross flash the KDZ's to the ULM (unlocked) model but I haven't personally used this LGUP method so I cant comment if its valid or not. Octoplus, most definitely works though (and I have the logs to show the partitions if one was interested).

There will never be a Sprint KDZ -- neither Sprint or AT&T release KDZs (I don't think they even use them internally).
I am downloading them now, and I will pull the certs / post the results as soon as they are done.
Thanks!
