I have managed to get the 3d max bin files merge them into one and have the baseband also the dll if anyone can get the apk's outta them that would be great..
I am confused to how to do this i will upload them now.. please be patiant..
What if we mixed a p920 baseband and used the P720 AP bin file i will try that when i get back from Birmingham after the weekend..

i'm stuck on .bin for now, we need to find correct offset to create system.img
If i don't mistake p920 offset was from 00B80000 to 22ABFFF0
anyone can help us?

For the v20B .bin, the system.img file block was from B80000 all the way to the end of the .bin file. The end block depends on the size of the firmware and as such varies with different firmwares.

Maybe you could dd it in Ubuntu and inject the image into a normal p920 bin??

so we need to know exact size of system.img?

What I did for the v20B bin was to copy the blocks 00B80000 to the end block and paste them in a new file using Winhex, rename it to system.img, go over to linux and use
sudo mkdir temp
sudo mount -o loop system.img temp

That way, I can then extract all the files using Terminal, like for example sudo cp system/app/LGHome.apk LGHome.apk (assuming default folder is pointed at desktop) to extract everything.

No need. System.img extends from 00B80000 all the way to the end of the file. The end block of the .bin file is also the end block of the system.img file.

I tried that but i get: "you must specify the filesystem type" in terminal when i try to mount. Is 00B80000 start? Can you take a look at that? Or bin is not extracted ok.

I don't have the download link... post it here and I'll take a look when I have time, I'm lazy to look for it

At first glance, so much for a 'lighter and thinner' rom when it's almost a full 100mb larger than the P920's rom

My WinHex isn't working for some reason, will debug it tomorrow. In the meantime, try looking for the EXT4 magic number 0xF30A (0A F3 in hex) or 13 00 00 00 which is the compatibility structure between ext3 and ext4. The last file with any of these should be system.img.
If not, try the site here and see if it helps you find the start of the img files.

Well guys im really cheering that you can port that to O3D. Sadly im totally dont know how to do the port therefore i cant help to you, but i wish i could.
Go ahead you will make many ppl really happy if you can success (including me -> my genitalia will be the biggest ever xD)

I might have a hit. Winhex is still broken but someone with a working version of it could help me out with it.
154F2EFB seems to be the starting block if I'm interpreting it correctly. Could someone copy from that offset onwards all the way to the end, save it as an img and see if it mounts fine in Linux? This is a semi-wild guess since 0AF3 in hex brings up 5.3k hits while the text based search brings up 154F2EFB as the only hit which strikes me as odd but we'll see. The file size is approximately 300MB which is about right.

154f2efb didnt find. I find 0af3 as text 3 times. I will copy last one it has 373 MB maybe it will mount. I will try now.
sorry 154f2efb is a offset lol

I tried from offset 154f2efb it is not working i cant mount it. it is 322mb file. Again: you must specify the filesystem type.

hey guys have you you tried this method from this thread to get the system apks ??? or to put in another way would this work for the 3d max extracted files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899580

Have you actually read this thread? You would know that we're stuck on the final step of extracting system.img if you did.

only thing that is manage to extract are .png files, there are some interesting icons like cube I did it with win hex. It have options too extract known file tipes. It can also extract zip files and it extract parts off apps with it. If we could know header and footer of apk file it could extract them too. I tried but with no succes, I get only parts of apks. I attached 4 icons:

haha cool i am still trying to rip the whole system apart to get all the files needed to build and port the whole rom.. Even if i do manage to get it working it won't solve our GC problems as we can't use 3D max's baseband as it corrupts your imei..

[TUTORIAL] How to extract BIN + FLS from KDZ

Guys, I've seen some people wanting to access BIN roms and/or FLS basebands included in KDZ official roms, and not knowing how to do it.
I've searched the forum, found out how to do it, and decided to make a tutorial for our phone.
Here it goes:
0. Have a "KDZ official rom" file to extract
1. Download attached LGExtract.7z and put the included LGExtract.exe file in the same folder as your kdz
2. Open a Command Prompt
3. Change directory to the folder where you have put the previous files (LGExtract.exe and KDZ file)
4. Run this: LGExtract -kdz V***_00.kdz (use your kdz's name, for example LGExtract -kdz V30A.kdz)
5. Manually extract the CAB file in the same dir (use 7-zip or WinRAR)
6. Run this: LGExtract -wdb V***.wdb LGP920.dll (for example LGExtract -wdb V30A.wdb LGP920.dll)
7. Now you have some files, a few numbered BINs and one FLS)
8. Change directory to BIN folder to manually merge the bin files
9. Run this: copy /b "LGP920_AP[*].bin" "LGP920_AP.bin"
Should output something like this: (THE NUMBER ORDER MUST BE ASCENDING)
LGP920_AP[0].bin
LGP920_AP[1].bin
LGP920_AP[2].bin
LGP920_AP[3].bin
LGP920_AP[4].bin
LGP920_AP[5].bin
1 file(s) copied
10. Now you have your BIN (rom) and your FLS (baseband) files

I like living on the edge and flashing .kdz. hahha
But this is very helpful!:thumbup:
Awesome tut dude.:thumbup:

Good man thanks for putting this up. I have been flashing via this method since Gingerbread because I couldn't flash KDZs due to a broke CPU. I'm sure this will come in handy for others:thumbup:

This is the best way to make things complicated! )) Just use LGP970 Rom Converter!! Put KDZ in same folder as application and run it! On first question press number in order wich is KDZ file, and after extracting on question about CWM recovery or something like that, just hit N on keyboard and you are done.

Yes, it is easy, but when you do this, IMEI is null so you need to fix it.
What is the easiest way to flash kdz files into p920?

Actually, it won't bomb your IMEI - I flashed the modem firmware several times already - it's the fault of CM10's modem RIL, so updating to V21D/E or V28 is usually recommended. No matter how hard you do, you cannot brick the modem unless you flashed obviously wrong modem firmware but if it was from any of O3D ROMs, you won't even lose IMEI. I flashed V21D modem firmware extracted with LG P970 ROM extractor and I didn't even need to touch the modem terminal.

Whell, i used P970 KDZ Extractor for Official V30A p920 rom and I had a IMEI problem. I did this from v21e and v28 and both have IMEI problems after that.
I think KDZ is the safest way.

This is definitely not the reason u had IMEI problem! I never had that problem and i used it xx times on two different phones. U probably downloaded faulty rom or have windows problem and it didn`t unpack properly. I flashed V28e and V30a with SmartFlash after unpacking KDZ and my phone works normally.

See? The only way to grenade your IMEI is by flashing wrong modem firmware or corrupted one. Thus, repeating what I said, no matter how hard you do, you won't lose your IMEI.

Guys, there have been multiple reported cases of lost imeis when flashing basebands (fls), it has happened to me twice.
Flashing kdzs doesn't create that problem, at least I've never read such a case.

I think some CPUs work better with one or the other. I have to ise this janky Netbook that has something like Windows 7 but its like Windows ultimate or somethn like that. I have tried so many times to flash KDZs properly and it just doesn't work for me and the one time I did get the tools to work I completely broke my network and had to format my CPU. Flashtool however works flawlessly for me and I have never had problems; then again I have everything installed correctly too which makes a huge difference. I had an imei issue once back in the ported SU760 days but I'm pretty sure a factory reset and a fresh base and flash fixed that. Its just what works for you.

Hi daniel.mota,
Your LGExtract.exe from LGExtract-0.2.1.7z works great and wrote an easy to follow tutorial. Thank you.
But, what can I do about the .bin and .fls file? I mean what is the next meaningful step I can take?

Hy guys, I've got a problem... LGExtract extracts the cab as well and this one extracts a wdb, a wdh and the dll.
When I try to extract the wdb it extracts a file *.tot how to go through this??

Guys, so sorry for the tricky question, I've read in a Spanish forum that this tool is only going to work for Firmwares not bigger than 1gb, can you please confirm this info? or maybe sharing your experiences on using this with a big KDZ? Thanks a lot in advance

Back to Stock from Future 3.0 and Drake v1 or CrossDL error

Here is some guide as i faced problem to go back once from future 3.0 and the other time i installed drake v1 and it changed to d838 so when i tried to install tot it gave me error like crossDL so i figured it out after alot of search that how to go back to my stock 4.4 and now I want to share this method with you people, it may help some those who are really stuck in there.

Steps to follow:
1. Download Winhex software: https://mega.co.nz/#!IUFnRRBb!JlQpWk_PiQ5NIpE2Pc7y7ovRuv3Fx-slT0A3W7ARpMc
2. Extract it and open it and there will be folder inside winhex. its pre-installed app so you don't need to install it just open folder and run the application and it give some message that you can not save larger file with evaluation version.. just open and click on help and then register option then a dialogue box will be opened and past the key you will find in the main folder text file named with "key". it will be registered version now you can open your tot file and edit it.
3. Open your tot file and click on edit and then on find then search for word "F350" and you will be there. Just change the last word with "L". if you have F350K than K with L and if you have F350S then S with L. if you want to go back from future 3.0 rom and change whole letter with "D838" and remove last digit by putting 00 on left column. you can see the pics for guide.
4. Now save the file and with this file flash your lg g pro 2 and for that i m sure you guys already have guide to flash tot file otherwise you can search for it..

Can this method be used for my phone which is now on Future ROM, but originally is D838 32GB?
I just need to get the tot file?

There is easy way to go back on stock for d838 model.. Use kdz method..
Secondly i didn't check on d838 model but u can check by using tot file n tot flash method.. Just search for F350L tot file.. I guess its available online.. Then u can try if it works may b it work but i m not sure..
Thirdly its my guess.but u can check if d838 firm can be edited then.edit that file and change it to f350L then use it through kdz method..
But u have to check it at ur own risks..

yes orsonwang eventually did the same tot method to get his phone back that give more confidence in this method. you can check this as this modification works for all tot files.. if it works i hope it will go beyond 80% and then its ok even at the end it gives error on flash tool because in my experience it didn't able to make to 100% not even a single time but it worked for me.. you can check if didn't start flashing then you have you current at least and if it started then hopefully it will go beyond 80% and i hope it will work but not confirmed you have to make your own mind to take risk as i have no such experience i am just guessing it might work..

DL upgrade or Board Dl
I figured out there are these options on lg flashtool. By default upgrade dl is selected. Do i need to select board dl?

Hello, so i decided to use TWRP to dump the system and the vendor image so that everyone can do whatever they want with it.
Heres the link.
if theres something wrong with the files or with the link please let me know.
The archives are small because i compressed them . . . a lot.

Ask

Unfortunately the only model that can be unlocked right now is the European one and version 10z still doesn't exist (maybe a typo?)

Any chans u have the 10k unmodified boot?

Could you do a system dump of the V40? I see you did the vendor for the V40.

First of all, thank you heaps LameMonster82, you are an absolute champion!!. I was searching for hours to find a kdz file for G710EM10p and your posting was the only one I found. For some reason the "thaks" buttob isn't visible to me.. maybe because I'm a new member.
I thought I could be helpful by listing the different KDZ files which are in your google drive folder so other people can find them while searching through google like I was.
In the above link from LameMonster82 there are following KDZ files for the LM-G710EM (European) variant of the LG G7 :
G710EM10b
G710EM10f
G710EM10k
G710EM10p
For the LG V40:
V405UA10c
V405UA10l
To install the KDZ file follow the guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-stock-firmware-lock-t3820888
Thanks again

I am having problem downloading G710EM10p kdz file, is there perhaps an alternative download link?

Download manages to get to 1 GB and then it drastically slows down and eventually fails. Via a download manager the farthest I got was 1,5 GB: although the download manager continued to download (it downloaded ~5 GB of data), the file was only 1,5 GB.

Doesn't seem to be something from me. Maybe Google's server are acting up or youre using your phone to download it. If you're using a phone it will sometimes do that. Try downloading another file and if not find a 10p version here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg710em-firmwares/#tab=firmwares

I managed to download it! It went fine this time, I did not change anything on my side.
Thanks!

Btw, what is system_b.image? I cannot find anything of it on my phone.

It's the system partition but it's empty because when you install an update the system copies there. A/B support

Is it possible to extract any of the system apk files from the image without it being flashed?

Of course. You just need a 7Zip or WinRAR to open the image and fish it out

LG Aristo 3 X220MA Root Search

So I just got the Aristo 3 and wanted to root it. after an extensive search I have come up empty. Does anyone know if there is a method available to use yet or maybe something is in the works? I've unlocked flashing but I cant seem to boot recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same ive spent about 6 hours researching this ive never built my own root before however i just dont have the time to do whats needed. From what i researched get the original boot rom from lg bridge and perform a restore to download the factory boot image then use magisk to rebuild the image

Hmm I'll give it a try. The phone is still new enough that I don't have much saved to it and if I brick it can take it back

should be able to just get the boot image may be the aristo 2 dev would pick this up since he's familiar with it I see you have a few posts in that forum maybe you can send that dev a message see if they would pick it up.

I eagerly await any progress in this run! My girlfriend cracked her screen on her Aristo 2 and decided that it was time to upgrade. I've never been disappointed in the idea of upgrading my phone...until it meant giving up my Aristoboy Mk.2(which was/is quite formidable)and rooted status along with it. If there is anything I might read about the process online, I would at very least consider the task myself. I am learning, but I have some decent skills and experience behind me. Please let me know if I can assist in any way. If not, I hope to see the first strides towards tackling this latest addition to the Aristo line!
My thanks to all my fellow devs here! You each make up a piece of the whole collection that make this, hands down the best forum/online community available the world over! Keep it up! We are making a difference in so many lives!
Your friend,
~[ProTech]~

So I've been busy as **** lately, but I found that the issue seems to be with the os more than the phone itself. I'm not that proficient with downgrading the os to a earlier version since this phone came stock with Oreo. I will try and talk to some of the devs who did the aristo 2 x210ma. Hopefully they have a solution. I've been using my 2 instead. I never realized how much you can't do with a stock phone and os.

OK here's something you can try...
first get dev-patched LGup {GooGle It}
then use the Dump function of Lgup to dump All partitions from your fone...
look for boot_COM{some#here} and rename it to boot.img
put that file on your fones sdcard and install magisk manager app.
use magisk manager app to patch that boot.img file.
find the new file patched_boot.img whereever magisk put it on your sdcard...
move it to your desktop or a folder etc. on P.C
now try to flash it to your fone...
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
if that works your bootloader is now unlocked you'll have to reboot the fone once as it'll erase cache and data...
after that
again do
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
now try
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
if that works....
Code:
fastboot reboot
and you'll have root by magisk.
if fastboot's not working other option is to rename "patched_boot.img" to "boot.img"
and then use Partitions DL option in lgup to flash the "patched"boot.img to the phone...
if that works you'll have root by magisk...
If this helped you feel free to hit thanks and come back to post the results plz.
Thanks

My bootloader is already unlocked I've just not been able to flash anything with fastboot. So I have LGup, is there a difference with the dev patched one? I also have magisk on my phone, but it really doesn't give me any options besides to install a new version. I'm gonna go try your suggestion soon though...it sounds promising...and may open up other options if this doesn't succeed. Thanks I'll keep you posted.

So I can't get passed the dump. I keep getting a timed out error. I even tried to format the user data using fastboot and it failed. And I am curious about the boot_COM.

No the file wont say that in lgup, it'll be named that after you create a new folder on desktop call it "Dump" then use the dev-patched lgup and Dump option, select the folder Dump on the desktop and select the little checkbox for all on partitions list and click start...
also you may be haveing issues because of the .dll your useing... will lgup flash a stock .kdz to the device?
if yes, I'd think the dump option would work fine...

So yes it would load a stock formware but no it wouldn't allow me to dump even one partion. And the strange thing was that my list of options would chanhe sometimes. Like it would give me more options i.e. phonesettings. I even tried different cables and ports. It doesnt matter though i somehow hard bricked it so bad that it won't even. Boot to download mode and somehow fried my sim card to the point it wont work in any other phone. Im just waiting for metro to open so i can try again

OH WOW what a mess...
I would say it's the .dll in the LGUP causing pain here...
something you can try when you're ready to try again....
remove/uninstall devpatched LGUP and install regular store version
use the Common .dll
and add this file{ UI_Config.lgl } to your Common folder in the lgup install location ...
to make it easier I'll just zip up My common folder for you to replace yours
to do this
right click on lgup, select open file location...
navigate to the model subfolder you'll see things like
{ AllinOne } {Common} and {LGUP_LGNPST} folders...
at that point just right click and rename {Common} folder to {Commonbak},
then take my zip file I'm attaching and unzip it and inside will be Common folder...
just Copy / Paste that new Common folder to where the old one is..
set permissions of folder { read-only} and open the folder find file called { UI_Config.lgl }
and set it's permissions to READ ONLY . otherwise it'll be erased once you start LGUP.
and see If that changes anything with being able to Dump...
It's let me dump every LG i've plugged into it...
so I should think it should work for you too...

Oh also i did a dump on another phone (aristo 2) and had no issuses. And i saw what ypu meant with the boot_COM##. Thanks for the help.

it may work,
when lgup is being a pain it's worth a try.
I say go for it. but to be certain I'd try flashing the extracted boot.img with partitions DL option in lgup once to make sure it flashes it b4 trying to patch it and flash it again...
Just my 2 cents.

Aristo3 FW: X220MA10B "10b" came on the system stock
LGUP V1.14 - patched

I attempted to use the LGUPC DLL from the kdz V 10E firmware and that did not recognize the device i also attempted to use your zipped commons.
any feedback on this?
I feel that i should use LG tool update to 0F then use the 0F kdz to attempt all this?

If at all posible find the OLDEST firmware possible in kdz and do a full flash of that .
and try your dll mod with that by extracting the dll from said kdz and renaming to what ever the one in Common folder is and keep the UI_Config.lgl in there to keep the extra options if possible...
It's all trial and error with this stuff, so keep at it.
DO NOT flash a firmware.kdz from a different model of the device as it'll flash aboot sbl etc and you'll end with a brick that can't be fixed.
and I've always liked { in my experiments} to use the partitions DL option even when downgrading etc to be able to NOT CHOOSE the boot-stack partitions...
but give it a shot and tell us how it go's.
we may be able to split a root-bounty if we come up with something working across users
