[GUIDE] Download Booster Working (Verizon Version)

MODIFIED TO NOW WORK WITH VERIZON.
Confirmed working on Verizon Retail Edition and Dev Edition (no flashing involved, just what is listed here)
Here's a zip you can flash on firmware NCG. Thanks to @BigBot96
NCG auto enabler
OKAY guys I got it working. See screenshots. AND FOLLOW THESE STEPS
Requirements:
Use this services.jar NOT the one from the zip. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3vjq70yfdxrmmj9/services.jar
Root
ES File Explorer (make sure Root Mode is enabled)
v2.1 odex file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719582
YMMV, so I recommend copying these two files from your system folder to somewhere safe (external sd or PC) just in case something goes wrong.
GOOD LUCK!
1. Download/unzip the services.odex file from the zip. Download modified services.jar from here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/3vjq70yfdxrmmj9/services.jar )
2. Copy Both files to the /system root folder
3. Fix all permissions to rw-r-r (3 checks in first column, first check in second, rest blank) DOUBLE CHECK THIS (See Attached)
4. Copy services.JAR from the system root folder to the /system/framework folder, overwrite.
5. Copy services.ODEX from the system root folder to the /system/framework folder, overwrite again.
6. Reboot
Mine took a few minutes to boot up, and reodexed everything "Android is updating apps".
?????
Profit.
CLICK THANKS.
btw HUGE thanks to RevelationOmega for doing the hard part!!
Also thanks to joshw0000 and Joderme for testing/helping me come up with this!

If your phone won't boot, take it to your local Best Buy. The Samsung people have a reflash tool that can fix your phone. Not sure if you guys have a odin image or not just wanted to let you know.
I'm sorry guys. I hoped it would work.

Guess I took one for the team... Thank you for the help!

No problem! Figured it can only be a soft brick easily fixed by flashing stock again. Better to re-set everything up and do a 15 second root than it is going about having to get a whole new phone

Might be a bit late.. but chances are ADB was still active. When I was trying out to remove the hotspot restriction manuaĺly, by uploading a recompiled framework-res.apk, it also got stuck at the verizon logo in the boot process but i was still able to use adb to replace the file with the original and when it finished copying the phone completely booted.

Anyone willing to send me their services.jar file and test for me? I'll see if I can get this working for you guys.

If you want a unlocked ls996 Sprint flex

Anyone with rooted 5.0.1 and with T-Mobile and AT&T if you could please pull your system folder from root explorer or some other file explorer that lets you do it and upload it for me. I will try and find a way to get the Sprint flex 2 (ls996) to run these system apps and have a full unlock for people trying to use the ls996 on other networks.

I havent gotten anywhere yet justin, still looking for an answer, but seeing that some one from the G4 might help with 5.1.1 root. Fingers crossed. also, ls command is showing perms denied through adb/terminal output with SU functions.

Can you do "adb pull /system"

I've used my phone a bit, is 5.0.1 rooted, and has a few apps on it. I'm newish to android, especially to rooting and unlocking. Is mine useful, and if so how do I upload it, just copying the folder contents onto an sd and uploading onto google drive would work?

Hi, why do you need the att and T-Mobile version? You can't do it with the international version h955? BTW I have the att version but I was thinking it possible to run other /system on it or this is only for Sprint version... Like att h950 with h955 system...???
Thanks

Nope... That stuff is stored in the data partition.... That stuff has nothing to do with system partation.. So ur safe.. All there is in the system folxer is what the phone is when its new or after a factory reset... Everything you do from the first button u click is stored in the data folder... Hope you understand

Alright, sent Justin a .zip of the system folder. However, as I mentioned to him, when I tried to copy the folder it would always end in root browser saying the operation failed, though many of the folders and items, 1.5gigs worth, successfully were copied. I'm planning on selling this phone in the next couple days for other reasons, unfortunately, but I hope I can help in others unlocking their phones from Sprint.

No problem. I got what I need. Thanks everyone

Any news or update on the unlock?

It's going to take sometime. Have to port the att image to the sprint image. Without a recovery it is quite difficult.

Hey @justinswidebody I got a quick question. Can I send it thru PM?

Sure

Can't root h810pr!!!

I flashed the h810pr onto my att g4 and it works amazingly. But, I've done the root method about 10 times, and when ever I enter the last line of code the # just shows up right away, and root doesn't install I've made sure to read everything carefully and no root. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated thank you.

I guess you have to install the driver again..in download mode...uninstall then install back..then try the code

Tried that and still no luck.

I've got that problem too. The way i fixed it was to reflash the H810pr brand new. Do not mess with any setting yet. Then enable USB debugging. Make sure you use MTP mode, be certain that the phone itself ask you if you want to install driver. Hit yes, then reinstall the LG driver on your pc. Put the phone in download mode and root. Make sure you run the "send command" line and "id" line as instructed.

Tried that, it still doesnt want to work properly.

Make sure the img file is extracted properly from the rar file that you downloaded.
Also ensure the name of the file on the internal memory matches the name in the flash command.
Perhaps the rooted image didn't download correctly.
Could be a driver or com port issue, but you were able to flash the original image so that shouldn't be the problem.

Ya i was triple checking everything. It seems like a driver problem ill look into ot later.

If you are still having this problem, make sure the file is on the internal SDcard at the top level (root directory) and not the external sdcard.

Ya I made sure of that too, I don't even own an external sd card. I've just been using on the stock unrooted h810pr, haven't had time to look into the problem. If I figure it out ill post how to fix it just in case someone else has this problem in the future. If anyone has any other suggestions let me know I'll try them this week end.

AT&T LG V10 H900 Force Upgrade To Android 6.0 MM GUIDE

After a lot of attempts, I found a way to force upgrade to Android 6.0 MM on AT&T LG V10 H900.
Before you start these steps:
•Make sure you have ADB installed on your computer and running. If you don’t, follow this guide to set it up. Or if you don't want the whole Android Studio, try this guide to setup Minimal ADB and Fastboot
•Make sure your phone is stock non rooted. If not here is the link to the stock tot file. And here is the link to the instructions for using tot file.
Instructions:
1. Download the Android 6.0 MM OTA zip file.
2. Unzip the file, and you get a 20N.up file
3. Copy 20N.up file to /Internal storage/SoftwareUpdate/ not external SD card (if folder doesn't exist, just create it)
4. Activate USB Debugging on phone and plug into computer
5. Open CMD window in C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools by holding shift and right clicking and selecting open command window here. (Path may be in different location based on your installation of SDK)
6. Type the following command in CMD window:
Code:
adb devices
Check and see if your device appears listed. If not, check on phone and select to trust computer if prompted. Run command again once you added computer to trusted list.
7. Run this command:
Code:
adb shell
This should appear: [email protected]:/ $
8. Run this command in ADB shell:
Code:
am start -n com.lge.lgfota.permission/com.lge.lgfota.permission.DmcEzUpdateStart
Phone Screen should show OFTA Easy Upgrade screen for a few seconds and then reboot to software update.
Note:
This does not give you root, it simply forces the update to marshmallow.
Edit: This method has now worked for everyone who tested it. If it doesn't work for you, just ask for help and either myself or one of the other fine members of the community can try and see what we can do to help.

Thanks for this. After flashing back to stock my phone wouldn't show that I had an update no matter what I tried. This method worked perfectly.
For those who do not want to install the whole android studio to get ADB you can use this to get it.

I can't decide if give up root and update. I use root mainly for adblock

So I don't currently have a SIM in my V10, it's in my Nexus 6P, but when I check for the MM update I've been told there is no update. This has happened since the MM update was released. My question is can I use this method to update to MM even if there is no SIM in the phone?
I wouldn't think that having a SIM would be require to update but maybe it uses the SIM to auth to the AT&T servers?

You can technically adblock without root, if that's the only thing holding you back from an update.

I'm honestly not sure if this method would work for you or not. I am unaware if any of the testers or anyone who has used this method has done so without a sim card. In theory it should work since it's an AT&T version of the phone just missing the sim card. If you try, let me know the outcome please.

Worked great. Thanks!

[HELP] Features Missing after unlocking bootloader

Well although I planned to unlock bootloader after a few months I decided to grab the opportunity when unlock page started working and with the ultimatum by Huawei about providing unlock codes, but ever since I unlocked and fixed multiple boot loops I noticed few apps and features are now missing such as
HiFi Huawei sounds in Settings is gone
Unable to change or apply themes
smart remote Control is now gone,
Phone no longer stay awake while looking at it
There might be more stuff missing which I haven't noticed
I mean it feels absurd I just unlocked bootloader why are these stuffs missing this makes no sense to me, all I did is installed twrp, installed magisk no modules nothing, in fact, my favorite mods are giving boot loops anyway but that aside I do need the above things back please help out a friend, anyone else faced this ?
I have a theory like Miui had a "region" option and apps changes according to regions set. So does something like this happens in EMUI as well, I don't remember exactly but I believe I set region/language as the UK while completing the setup, if so how can I change it back(PS: I live in India)
or its the side effect of root perhaps?

No idea what kind of issues you had, but none of those vanished after unlocking my bootloader.
I've been able to use themes just like before, the display stays on when I look at it and those Huawei sounds in settings are still there as well. No idea about the remote since I never used it anyway.
So idk what went wrong on your phone but it doesn't look like that's anything "normal"

Help please !

so am gonna have to take twrp backup b ready for 3gb download, anything else u want other than the system?

From LOS to Stock
Thats not a problem bro, have a 50mbps 250gb monthly plan in broadband. Wanted you to know that I am coming from LOS to stock as much as I know it would require only system.img. But if you think anything else would be required, then please upload that too, as I have only the stock recovery and nothing else.

Thats not a problem bro, have a 50mbps 250gb monthly plan in broadband. Wanted you to know that I am coming from LOS to stock as much as I know it would require only system.img. But if you think anything else would be required, then please upload that too, as I have only the stock recovery and nothing else.
Thanks for your help !

it is not flashable, just extract the content of the zip,
paste it in the twrp folder of the phone and use restore option of twrp

Mate, thank you for this upload. I am also having the same problems(C675). You are a life saver.
1. Could you please elaborate the steps in detail, where to place system.img in twrp folder(In Internal or sd card)?
2. Also what is the version u have uploaded mate(8.0.0.140/8.0.0.151)?
3. Also can you upload ramdisk, kernel, stock recovery also?
4. Is there any way to get FULLOTA-MF for India as provided in other regions?
Thank you.

I flashed it bro but no network.
I think I need radio/modem files.
Could you please upload? I'm waiting.

here you go , rest of the partitions
Do the same unzip in PC- Copy all these files inside twrp backup folder, go to twrp and use restore option hopefully it will work
this is 140 update backup I haven't received 151 officially due to unknown reasons, but I had made changes to my system partition so it contains almost all new features and fixes of 151 except the 3D creator cam,
3D creator is in my data partition which i did not backup

Hey, Are you sure taking restore of this one alongwith previous one will do the job ? I guess imei resides in efs partition which I cannot see here. Can you confirm this once please ?
and thanks for your time and effort bro

Wow well I expected a better response from the community or some response for sure.. Well turns out these all apks were in data partition, so they got removed when phone storage was formatted, makes sense now
Extracted the apks and pushed them myself... Features are back

Hey, could you share how did you manage to extract the apks? I downloaded the firmware using the Firmware Finder and found the HwRemoteController.apk but when I try to install it via adb I get a signature failure.

Mate, thank you for this upload.
1. Is there any way to get FULLOTA-MF for India as provided in other regions?
2. How to install the latest update with root?. Is there any solution available?

U need to place them directly in /system/app
Or /data/apps and give permission rw-r--r--
Or try signing the apk it should work I guess if libs are not there

Take your own backup first... Try installing only one partition at time... To be honest this EMUI is very new to me... Dont know y they made so many different partitions
Or maybe it's a kirin's thing... I should have just gone with Op5t like rest of the world... Its just chaos and confusion here
