Rooting Optimus 3D MAX P720H

Hello, i've no right to post in Development sub forum, so i put it here.
I have LG Optimus 3D MAX P720H and followed this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642590
and got error 'Fail to find file'. After checking the problem i found that the update files for P720H have different name from original thread ('LGP720h_AP[0*].bin' instead of 'LGP720_AP[0*].bin') and file 'hdcp.sh' which MaxRoot.exe looking for is in LGP720h_AP[06].bin
So, for anybody that has P720H and has the same problem. pls. download this file
LGP720h_AP[06].rar (http://www.mediafire.com/?78s4bacbund8tb1)
and extract it. after LGMobile Supporting Tool update until you see file 'LGP720h_AP[06].bin' (should be waiting until 'LGP720h_AP[07].bin' appear) just replace it with the file extracted from LGP720h_AP[06].rar
I'm not sure if the file i posted against any rules. If it is and removed, you guys just copy file LGP720h_AP[06].bin during update, rename it to LGP720_AP[02].bin, run MaxRoot.exe, rename it back to LGP720h_AP[06].bin
Thanks 985hPaKicK for this wonderful tool

ok, here's some short instruction (mostly copied from original post anyway )
1. Connect USB to Max.
2. Check USB debugging.
3. Execute Rooting.bat
4. After put some files, Max will reboot. then press and hold volume up button to go to S/W Upgrade mode.
If you fail, try manually. turn off your max. and while hold volume up button, connect usb to Max.
5. *** You can close command prompt which running Rooting.bat now.
6. Execute LGMobile Support Tool. and after check the connection with Max, Customer Support - Recovery phone. Reocovery phone function doesn't affect your data. If LGMobile Support Tool isn't installed, Execute B2CAppSetup for install support tool.
7. After LGMobile Supporting Tool update until you see file 'LGP720h_AP[06].bin' (should be waiting until 'LGP720h_AP[07].bin' appear) just replace it with the file extracted from LGP720h_AP[06].rar
8. Let updating process finish.
If you follow instruction on original thread, you should normally see that error. But if you replace the file correctly, you should get root even though you get that error

If you have p720, you can use instruction on original thread too
for model differentiation, i think it's about 3G freq.

That doesn't make much since to me though. The part of rooting with EVERY phone company. Rooting voids warranty no matter what country.

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. It's my own effort so if you find it helpful then plz appreciate.. thanks.
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..
Best of Luck..

Are you using the correct DLL file?
Try this DLL file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58628114&postcount=32
This is for 32GB phone.
Your tot file is original D838 or modified from F350?
Maybe you want to try this to file, it's from TW 10D 32GB

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.

in answer to that YES quite a difference...
devpatched lgup gives you extra options such as Dump and Partitions-DL and Chiperase among others...
you'll NEED that dump and partitions-DL option....

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. I didn't see any file in the partition list matching that. I did see the boot partition and many others that I didn't recognize. So kinda feeling that we are back to

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...
for firmware look here : https://www.mylgphones.com/metropcs-lg-aristo-3-lmx220ma-x220ma-firmware.html

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
DLL v1.0.28.17
The above dll is the only one I have found that will recognize the phone and load LGUP, I have also attempted to use uppercut: Error DLL for X220M10b is invalid install a valid dll
https://imgur.com/1Ptrv3n
however, once i attempt to dump phone reboots into download mode i get: Error: 0x2000, please use latest Dll LAF protocol version is not match dll=0 device 162512928

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

[SOLVED] Looking for a V500N LGU Korean variant QFIL dump and rawprogram files

EDIT: I don't need this anymore since I've fixed the problem
Could anyone please help me to upload the QFIL partition dump and the rawprogram files of a V500N LGU variant V50? I tried the dump files for the Sprint variant, and it enabled me to go into the download mode. However, I can't flash any stock ROM, neither the Korean ones nor the American ones. LG Bridge can't detect anything as well.

I think there is a patched LGUP here in this LG G8 thread but I'm not sure if it works on V50, you can use it to flash KDZ which you can download from LG website according to your variant

I think I have already been using that version of LGUP. I didn't have any problem with flashing the stock ROM before. Now I am facing this problem where I can't flash any stock ROM because LGUP always encounters a cross-flashing problem. Most likely, this is because of the incompatible partition dump files I've used.

1. download the Korean KDZ
2. get the rawprogram.xml from the sprint backup
3. download the .exe version of KZDtool here: https://bbs.lge.fun/thread-69.htm. Btw, the link in the tutorial has been outdated, I found the correct URL using Google: https://www.lanzoux.com/ia1u5ub
4. follow the tutorial using google translate to get most of the .img files
5. follow this tutorial https://bbs.lge.fun/thread-75.htm to get the OP.img, because KDZtool won't work for this OP img. You'll need a hex editor.
6. Drag and replace everything in the original Sprint backup with the Korean .img files
7. Flash in QFIL with firehose and the rawprogram files from the Sprint backup
8. You'll finally be able to go into the download mode
9. Now flash the Korean KDZ in PARTITION DL mode, since the refurbish or upgrade mode won't work
