Possible root method for Sprint ONLY, need tester (will possibly brick phone) - Sprint LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hey guys, talking to tungkick again and came up with something that MIGHT work. It might brick your phone though, so does anyone have a phone that they would be willing to test this on? It is a way to unlock bootloader
Please PM me as soon as possible

Anyone remember what variant of the G5 Fredo had?

He has (had) a few posts on the Sprint forums, i don't know much about him though... seemed to bring more trouble than help. Would you be willing to test our method?

Got an idea of the brick/success odds? I'm willing to test, but she's my daily too.

Any luck so far?

I'd be willing to be a tester if you tell me the kind of risk associated with your method

Put my daily up
I am willing to give it a shot. U only love once. What's life without a little risk

So you are willing to test? Glad we have done risk takers

f*%& yeah

As long as there isn't any device check in LGUP then you should be able to flash a t-mobile tot. Also the cellular radio will be the only thing that might brick. You should be able to flash back to sprint the same way that you flashed the t-mobile tot. Also that should fix the radio. Worst case scenario you loose your efs aka esn, imei and meid. However, they can be restored if you know how. In my opinion this sounds like it should work. I don't have a g5 and my g4 is in for repair so I cannot test currently. If someone tests this let us know if it works.

There's a DLL check in LGUP, but I think tungkick can JTAG it

The dll is fine... On the G3 we used to have a dll that would allow flashing different versions from different carriers. That was back in the LG flash tool days though. I am pretty sure that the dll for LGUP allows this already but the only people that know for sure are those that have tried it and @autoprime.

Ok... They have to enter download mode and flash the bootloader partition using dd. First they have to get a list of partitions so they know what partition is the boot loader partition.
Code:
mount
should tell you what most of the partitions are. Then do backup your bootloader by doing
Code:
dd if=/path/to/block/bootloaderpartiton of=/sdcard/bootloaderbackup.bin
of course you have to change /path/to/block/bootloaderpartiton to the correct location. Then just flash the new bootloader using
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/bootloaderyouwanttoflash.bin bs=8192 seek=65536 count=557312 of=/path/to/block/bootloaderpartition
again changing the /path/to/block/bootloaderpartiton to the correct location.
EDIT: I believe that the bootloader is aboot.bin or aboot.mbn when you extract the tot file. It doesn't matter what the file extension is. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

If you are in download mode you can run commands as root on the phone. The commands can be run using send_command.exe on windows.
OK I uploaded a zip with send_command.exe in it
To use it open cmd prompt and type.
Code:
Send_Command.exe \\.\COM4
replacing 4 with whatever your com port is (you can find this under device manager com ports)
You should see a # where you can type commands as root. Also type mount in adb to find the partitions... Then post it back here so I can have a look. I will try to tell you exact commands to use if I can find the partitions. Thanks

[HELP!] I think I messed up my EFS partition and I don't have a backup....

I was VERY stupid. I went back to stock Oxygen OS using a fastboot image and now if I dial #*06# the IMEI box shows up but no IMEI number is actually in the box it is just blank. I did post about this before but last time I didn't really know what happened I was asking if anyone could tell me what they thought happened. I am pretty sure I screwed up the EFS partition and I am just wondering what I need to do now. Is there some way I can repair it I mean I don't have a backup. Can I contact OnePlus support? I really need help.

This happened to me a few times in the past, all I had to do was wipe dalvik and cache again and it came back. Not sure if it's the same issue but I would give it a shot. Just boot into recovery and wipe them again and see if it gets you back up and running.

I cannot use that because my device is not hard bricked and it will not install the driver since I can enter the bootloader normally.
Not sure if you've seen this post its based on the post above but I think it just uses fastboot. Don't know if it will work for you, but figured it would be worth a shot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62973446&postcount=2
I tried using the tool and it did not work, I purposely hard bricked the device to try it and still no signal or imei. Another problem is WiFi takes about 4 minutes just to turn on but I can live with that I just want service.
Basically flashing back the stock should bring back the efs. Let's see if someone has a solution. Sorry!
EFS files are unique to each phone. If the EFS is corrupt or damaged, and there is no backup, I don't know of any way to fix it ;_; You can try OnePlus support but they aren't as dumb as carrier warranty or other phone manufacturers. They'll be more likely to know what you did.
It is possible to restore your imei number, I did it on my brothers lg g2. It requires some software for PC (I can't remember the name, you'll have to google it) and the box your phone came in with the imei number. It is possible, so don't lose hope!

Is it called QPST configuration? If so all I need help with is getting the phone to be recognized by the tool. Don't you need it to be on some COM port or something?

Have a look at this link http://droidmodderx.com/galaxys3/?page_id=79 I really can't remember how I did it and without researching again I won't know. It's a rough idea to maybe help you, I think the device just needs to be in USB debugging mode. I can't help anymore sorry and good luck.
any fix for this yet?
Same problem also with my op2 . No imei no baseband

Another thing to test for root

Hey, so me and @schizoidd are working on another thing to test. It is very risky, go here ONLY if you are interested in possibly sacrificing your device for root.
like, very risky. I have an edited .tot file I need to test. I am about 50% sure it will work
I assume this is only for Sprint variants, welp I dunno how I can help then.
THOUGH, @f_scott_scrambled_eggs may be able to help!

I could help with this. I'm running W7 and would probably be using Visual Studio to compile the executable. Also, I have a Sprint G5, and work in a service and repair center, so if things went south, I would be able to order myself a replacement should it get bricked.

Link is ready if you would like to test... please respond in the Skype chat
this is ONLY for the sprint G5 and not any other device. And, yes, the .tot is ready for trial. and the skype link gets ahold of me directly if there's any issue.
Flashing now... will update with results.
UPDATE: Bootlooping.
Code:
Boot verification fail! cause: MISMATCH_SIG_LEN
I'm still able to get into download mode. Only soft bricked it. A stock image flash should fix this for anyone else who's willing to try whenever we get another .tot made to attempt flashing.

No, he did what The did and just wrote TWRP into the TOT. We knew it wouldn't work, but we thought we would just test it anyways to see what would happen.
On the other hand, Schiz edited the TOT before and got it to display userdebug mode on the phone itself, but adb does not recognize it as a userdebug build so we can't use the disable-dm-verity command. Please check out this thread that he started if you have the chance... http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g5/development/sprint-userdebug-t3404260

Poll - Is root working for you? (T-Mobile Variant ONLY)

I want to take a poll, and this will be for T-Mobile variants ONLY. Being that the thread has people from all different carriers posting results, i think it's rather confusing to anyone reading along trying to decide whether or not to give it a shot.
So, have you successfully rooted/TWRP'd your TMOBILE variant LGv20?

You did not do a backup in twrp before flashing your file? You may have to exchange your phone you should always make a backup especially with things this new
Unlocked and rooted with no problems. I flashed a systemless hosts file for ad away in twrp and everything was fine. For assistant, I manually edited the build.prop file and restarted, which worked great. I almost feel guilty as to how easy this whole process has been.

I assume the build prop edit changes the device name. Therefore lg up won't recognize it. You will need a custom .dl file with the name edited. At least that is what used to happen back in the day when I was working with these phones. There used to be a program that made it possible to edit the .dl file.

[WIP] TMOUS LG G6 TWRP/Root Mega-Thread

I thought that we should probably get one thread going for theorizing/working on getting root on our G6's. I have already gone through the aboot with the latest update, and there is no way we can flash anything from there. Our best bet will be using the files autoprime supplied here.
I have no experience building TWRP if anyone would like to help with that. I'll gladly be a guinea pig once I find a way to get LGUP or a similar flashing option to work on the G6.
I also propose that all root bounty donations should go to the EFF once we achieve this.
To-Do:
Get LGUP to detect the G6 - DONE - Use the attached DLL file and follow the instructions below to enter download mode
Create test build of TWRP - DONE
Flash TWRP via custom *.TOT or *.KDZ (Priority)
Verify that we can flash an unsigned image in LGUP
Install supersu.zip
??????
PROFIT
How to enter download mode:
Unplug USB cable (if connected) and power off your device
Hold the volume up key and connect your USB cable
Welcome to download mode
I am not responsible for anything that happens due to this thread. This includes (but is not limited to) bricked phones, a broken plumbus, or explosive diarrhea.
I'm going to go pass out now. Will start again in the AM. (Also reserving second post in case it is needed.)

There is a modified version in the thread for repacking, but hopping on the Github page shows that there is some hidden verification method in the kdz file that makes it fail. Still worth looking into, as this seems to be the best option.
I believe .kdz files have some sort of encryption, and .tot files do not

“Failed gpt.bin” something doesn't help us, or you.
Tell us the exact errors shown. We'll be then able to help you out to the best of our ability.
From my knowledge, you cannot flash a gpt partition file of an older ROM. You should, as Blackbeats mentioned, flash only the modem partition from the correct ROM for your device.
@jayeshaupe90
I think your phone became G4 (not plus !! )...
This happened because of flashing wrong firmware.. and this has no solution till now...
Check this [ https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/moto-g4-pluss-model-changed-to-g4-lost-t3496912 ]
If this happened (your phone became G4) then we cannot do anything to help you, otherwise correct me...
PS. Anyhow someone found solution for network.. read on second page of that thread..

if jtag is what i understand it to be is handing it over to Moto-the-BI*** repair shop, he can't.
his bootloader is unlocked so they are basically going to replace the board which is 80% of phone price.

Try some unauthorized shop local shop
There seems to be a lot of lost IMEIs in the G4 Plus Community, I and a few others have narrowed it down to NV Data corruption, which needs a flash box or a new logic board AFAIK. Good luck mate!
