LG V10 AT&T MM Root

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.

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?

Don't do it. I'm done with LG. But a pixel or something, they are much better.

twrp wip for lgg4

sorry for cross postin in threads but i had to let more know
after almost 2 years all the locked bls on g4 have had a hack found by hijacking the ramdisk and booting twrp
i have the first sprint lg g4 in the world with twrp on it and it works other than flashing boot and recovery partitions due to still locked bl but efidroid will soon be released as same method and should allow us to boot anything.
now the reason i am posting this here to is cause this could easilly be adapted to almost any device with the requirements of having root and kernel set to permissive and being on lolipop for rite now.
this is a great day for the g4 community with all the hardware issues weve had
yall should check it out

Greetings @jhavron. Very sorry for such a belated reply to your inquiry for info. I just ran across your post.
Like most AT&T, Verizon & TracFone (Straight Talk & Net10) branded Motorola devices, the XT2005DL is not supported by Motorola's bootloader unlocking protocol. As such, rooting, TWRP, Magisk, etc., are not possible. Anybody familiar with Motorola devices can confirm that devices with perma-locked bootloaders are as tough as Fort Knox when it comes to security -- especially Moto devices manufactured from 2015 to the present. For example, the Verizon Moto E (2nd Gen) LTE from 2015 cannot be bootloader unlocked. Now, over 5 years later, there is still no known method for the xt1528 device. Such is also the case with the XT2005DL: its locked down status will prevent any type of rooting methods or custom recovery flashes from working.
I wish my news could be more favorable.

Thanks for replying. I's good to know that someone reads the posts from the little guys. :good:

Ok well is it possible to flash stock firmware onto the moto e6 xt2005dl with a locked bootloader. I keep getting image primary_gpt failed validation. I thought stock firmware could be flashed onto any device with locked bootloader.

Again, sorry for such a belated reply. Yes, you are correct. Regardless of bootloader locked/unlocked state, you can flash your device with the official stock firmware package using fastboot mode, RSD-Lite, or the Lenovo-Moto Smart Rescue utility. There is but one rule of thumb to keep in mind: you can flash only a firmware package that is the same or a newer version than the version presently on your device. A locked bootloader will not allow you to downgrade firmware versions.
Official Motorola stock firmware packages for the XT2005DL (Codename: surfna) are available from this link. Again, it is recommended that you use the most recent build available, as downgrading firmware versions with a locked bootloader isn't permitted.

Is there any way to improve battery performance with out root? .. Battery drain too fast

I use Greenify and have had the Pro version for years.

Mine is pretty much new. I bought it for work usage (keeping work-related things off my personal devices), in part for when I'd be at our partner's site every one or two weeks. But not long afterwards the scamdemic hit and I wasn't going to their site anymore.
And then since it wasn't upgradable past Android 9, my company blocked any Android versions 9 & below for Google services. So now it's not usable for ANYTHING I needed it for. I'd donate it but I don't think any group could use it since it's locked to TracFone. And the parts (glass & daughterboard) can't be used for fixing my personal Moto e5. Such a waste that it can't be repurposed.

ROOT GALAXY A01 SM-111DL

I need advice an method's an or people opinion on even rooting this phone. If it's worth it please help me enjoy my new phone even more

Im trying to build a custom firmware and running out of hard drive space doing it lol. Im trying to test differnt versions of firmwares on this sucker. the end goal is to get the radios flashed over to a firmware that is compatible with Qlink. anyone wanna help? <3

i would be willing to help, i have alot of disk space + pc resources.

I found an (a01q) (SM-A015M) guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-root-samsung-a01-a015f-ds.4147191/page-2#post-85246899. As it reflects in the SM-S111DL adb shell, as a01q. Can someone verify if this is a variant? Should we be flashing parts of the (a01q) (SM-A015M) firmware to the SM-S111DL?
Also have we tried flashing different CSC's to verify if the OEM Unlock option appears in devops? also check to see on each csc is you can just natively run fastboot oem unlock in the bootloader.
I had trouble doing a carrier switch, so we just went back to Straight Talk, and gave the device back. Waiting for a knockoff unlocked s22 ultra from alibaba so my frend can move to qlink. So he has it for now. I dont want to risk bricking it and him not have a phone.
However, I thoroughly went through that device and the ramparts, investigating information about the device. so im hare to help and once we get the replacement device for him then ill try again on that device.
1. try different firmwares to verify if the OEM unlock function appears. It'll most likely be early versions of the firmware.
2. Verify the device variants and see if parts of their builds are congruent with 111DL
3. test each flash and attempt to enable fastboot
This is a lower end device but with a debloat and bl unlock i think it would be worth at least a little time.
I have crap tons of tools that will save you time.
Can we set up a sharepoint?

ASUS Tablet ME302KL: Any way in 2021 to update android 4.2.2 to android >5 (unlock bootloader? Then: twrp? custom-rom?)

Hello guys,
I'm new:
In 2013 I bought an ASUS Memo Pad FHD 10 (ME302KL). Although I never really often used it, today while the Corona-crisis I need it for teaching. Therefore I wanted to upgrade the OS (actually Android 4.2.2) because most apps don't work with it anymore. I read a lot in the Internet about this topic (no official OS Asus-Update, installing Custom-Rom, TWRP and unlock bootloader, ... )
I'm completely novice but I wanted to try because I think this tablet is not too old for my wanted usage.
My first problem is to unlock the bootloader (I hope after solving this problem, it's straigt forward (twrp, custom-rom), rooting the device is easy; I already deleted a lot of the damn bloatware some time ago...).
I read about this: There seemed to be an official asus unlock apk some years ago which I found in www and tried. But no chance: unknown network error. I also tried oem fastboot unlock: failed.
Then I phoned the ASUS support some days ago describing the problem that I want to unlock the bootloader. Answer was: device is too old, no support for that in any way (what really made me disappointed because a) it seemed to me that up to ~2018 there still were (inofficial) ways to get it unlocked und/or updated (calling support again and again, make (mac?) adress entry somewhere, asus unlock apk seemed to work mostly, ... ) and b) the problem already seemed to arise in 2014 (just a few month after I bought it completely new) )
So my question: Is there ANY way to update it in 2021 or do I have to give up and just use it as pdf reader or display? (And never buy ASUS products again?). Do you have any experience about that or other advice?
(Does it maybe work without unlocking bootloader although I read that some guys brick it with that?)
I would even accept linux or ubuntu system (possible?), but I want to have more control about it (other devices were too old for me when they got too slow, but this one isn't. It works good except that it is not compatible with most apps..)
Thanks.

Try to research the 3 digit codes for the Ma2yo apk that supposedly updates android versions. I tried it on a 4.2.2 with a three digit code that supposedly updates android to 9.0 pie, but the app told me I entered the wrong code. Im a novice at this as well, but I have managed to use Kingoroot to gain root access to the mentioned tablet and use it as a learning tool myself. Try to use some of the apk root apps until you find one you like that will allow you to build your tablet, if you can't get it to upgrade.Happy hunting, test runs and hopefully success!

For all who have the same problem:
Yesterday I gained the most following this thread:
[HOWTO] Unlock TF700T in 2020
UPDATE: Asus has updated the servers. Older protocols for HTTPS, which are required for older Android versions, are no longer supported. Unfortunately, some additional steps are needed for the unlock now. See this post for step by step...
forum.xda-developers.com
Problem: Device could not be unlocked (after a few minutes waiting and everything working fine up to this point), but another user seemed to unlock the ME302KL this way... :/

Think I finally got it with the link above.
