[Q] Development for LG-LS860

I have a LG Mach (AKA Cayenne, LS860) LG Apparently algo named the LU3000 "Mach" as well for w/e reason. There is a distinct lack of ANYbody developing for this phone. I would like to take on doing it myself, but I am unclear on how to start. I managed after about a week to root the stock rom, but I can't find any recoveries for it. How should I go about this?
I understand that this is a very in depth question and for most, it would be too much to tackle. However, I have a background in C++ and Visual Basic (though I am a little rusty). Any direction would be nice and I am willing and capable of learning anything necessary to accomplish this.
Thanks!

Well this is a combination of bump / information. Since there is a lack of information regarding this phone out here, I figured I would share the method I used to root this phone. It works on the stock 4.0.4 rom.

I was thinking about compiling TWRP for this phone myself, but I would like input from everyone if CWM would be a better choice? Input welcome

I just won this phone, and I'm putting the term LG MACH ROOT/LG MACH BOOTLOADER in this thread so people can find it via google.
There is pretty much no developer love for this phone...
I don't care which way you do it. Personally I prefer TWRP because of it's touch controls.

Well, it looks like its up to me and you:
Im going to compile TWRP tonight for it, and if all goes well, I will create a new thread with the rooting method and recovery explained. However, know that you will officially be person #2 to use this recovery image. All warnings and potential problems will apply.
Up for some fun?

I haven't got the phone yet actually. Briefmobile informed that I won and that sprint will ship it. I don't know anything more than that :/ I hope soon. It'd be fun to mess with the phone while my college break is going on still.
Sorry about the really slow replies. I should subscribe so that tapatalk notifies me.
I don't know when it will get here :/
But since you have it, do you know if the bootloader is unlocked/unlockable? Google is surprisingly of little use with this phone. I'd love to dink around with this phone since it's not my primary one (and I can't use cellular services on it)

All good, it takes time to develop these things anyways. I should have a stable TWRP build within a few days, and a CyanogenMod 10.1 (Android 4.2) build complete in the next couple of weeks.
The bootloader is something I am going to tackle tonight. As you can tell, there is zero documentation on the web for this device. In fact, it received more attention when it was a concept than it does now. So for now, I have no answer on the bootloader. I hope so, or all my work is useless lol. However, root is obtained at a bare minimum
Anyone out there that comes across this thread that wants to find information on modding this phone, PLEASE post your interest here. Trust me, you won't find any other resources.

lg locked bootloaders
I have the lg motion, I don't know how close it is to the mach but I've been following a thread for several months that has been trying to figure out a workaround for the locked boot loader. Google all things root guide for lg motion and you might be able to find a decent starting point for your phones maybe even help them figure out the motion

Ok, well I think, for now at least, root is all we are getting . I have managed to develop and compile ClockworkMod Recovery TeamWin Recovery, and Cyanogenmod 10.1 for it, but realized after all that work that the bootloader is not only locked, but also signed with a digitally encrypted key. Basically in laymans terms: We are ****ed. So, if anybody manages to shmooze either Sprint or LG out of these unlock codes, let me know and I'll provide everything else. Otherwise, anything I have made will brick every LS860 it goes on. Sorry guys.

Oh boy is like Motorola all over again... So no flashing recoveries even?

Thats correct. At least from my understanding. I could be wrong, but without the ability to unlock the bootloader i dont want to try flashing recovery. Too risky for me. Ill give anyone who wants to try my twrp build but i wont accept any repercussion for it doing anythin negative

Give me your twrp build then
I just rooted it. Was super easy.
Tried adb reboot bootloader. Did nothing. Tried adb reboot recovery. Recovered the device. Can't seem to figure out a way to have it download software. (like nvflash) Wonder if there's a special cable...

So I already bricked two, lol. Not going for a third. I really wanna root this phone. I went as far as getting the firmware which is a cab file. But then I guess you have to convert that to a kdz file. Then decrypt the kdz file. Well it appears you need to be an LG Service tech to use the program. Was hoping there was work around for all this,

I rooted it, it was easy using the sony tool that does the adb backup remount bug, but that's as far as I got. I uninstalled a bunch of crap off of the system partition and its a lot faster now, too bad I can't get that activation screen to go away.

Just pulled the newest OTA. I found it in /cache. I tried to get the URL but instead I made it so it no longer sees there's an update... I have the zip file however, and inside of it there is patches to just about everything in system, and updates to magazines, chrome, and LGBookmarksProvider.
There's also a command to install a recovery image:
#!/system/bin/sh
/sbin/write_recovery /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Not sure if it's a good idea to flash that... forgot that it's still locked bootloader
EDIT: Finally figured out download mode... I just held all the buttons down when starting it and voila, it's there. I also hear you can use the LG Software update tool to flash back to stock, so we might finally have root that's safe

Does anyone have the BooksTablet.apk found in /system/app? I'm not sure why but it won't install the update cause the sha1 of that file fails I don't know where to find it.

Dont let this thread die! I noticed there was no dedicated forum for the LS860 development, I really enjoy this phone and would love some level of development for it. I can help as much as I am able.

Can someone rip me their BooksTablet.apk and BooksTablet.odex from their LS860 and PM me a link to it? I really am pissed off at the update prompt (I'm not sure why it's not working, I haven't touched it and I made sure I backed everything up... It won't validate BooksTablet.apk) I'm on the stock original version of the software ZV6 or something... not the ZV7.
I really don't want to go into sprint that much, though I might have to do that soon.
Edit: Just called sprint. They won't do anything for me and I'm not going to pay money for someone to reflash my phone. It's pretty ridiculous how factory images for devices aren't released. You know how many issues this would solve? That's why nexus devices are great. They're practically unbrickable.

Hey guys, try posting the mach in here so maybe it can get a forum for it.... And possibly some development.

Root and Unclock Verizon Moto G (XT1028) 5.1 (Lollipop)?

Since Lollipop was finally released for Verizon Moto G prepaid. I am wondering if it is now more possible to root and unlock the bootloader without paying anything. Lots of people got the phone black Friday last year and wants to root it since it was a cheap phone to get. So lots of people are hoping for a new method for it. Please reply if there is any new info, methods, or anything. Thx

I'm holding off on upgrading in case I get a way to get root on 444, but the nag screen for updating is getting on my nerves so bad I may take it just to make it stop...
I have some very specific reasons for wanting to keep this phone, if only I could get root, then sunshine it, then get a custom 5.1 rom... Ah the dream

I updated my phone to 5.1 on Tuesday (when it came out) and I was wondering the same thing too. I hope someone can find a way to do it

Did you try temp root with Kingoroot? Supposedly it works on 4.4.4 and apparently not on 5.1... once you have temp root then onto Sunshine and once your bootloader is unlocked you can even take the 5.1 OTA or for that matter any ROM

Kingroot has varying degree's of success for me, but the one constant for me is that my temp root has never once lasted long enough for sunshine's purposes. The tests simply take too long, and my root is gone before it reaches a conclusive point.
About all its good for in my case is to backup some files, or tweak a few other quick settings that can be done in less then a minute

I hear you... so if there is currently no root for 4.4.4 and we don't know of anyone working on a root I am not sure what there is to wait for...

Because if I do upgrade, I can't downgrade. And knowing my luck as soon as I get 5.1 a 444 root will come out. Another issue is I'm worried about storage consumption when it moves from dalvik to art runtime. It's my experience that using 5.1s ART system will increase all file sizes across the board, I'm already strapped for space.

Don't make the rookie mistake !!! It's really trivial to block the nagging upgrade screens. You'll have to use adb from your PC and run something like Debloater ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 ). Then find a program named com.motorola.ccc.ota on XT1028, and block it.
I am still hoping that one day we'll get full RW root with 4.4.4 (for free ).

Good point, didn't think to try this. Also I'm holding out hope for that chrome for Android exploit that was revealed in Tokyo last week at PacSec. When last I checked no details yet, but no patch by Google yet either.

I am still waiting to see if there is a way to unlock/root Verizon Moto G Lollipop (XT1028). Any luck?

tired of this phone
I'm sorry to say it but I think that it's a lost cause and its a shame its a great phone and it was a learning experience for me. I'll never buy a prepaid phone from Verizon again I'm moving on to the newest moto g. From what I've been hearing MOTOs are going to be phased out eventually by lenovo so I think it's best to upgrade before its too late. Its just my opinion but I think it's a foolish move on their part cause the moto series is one of the best out there for the price I've had Samsung, HTC,and a few other brands that aren't even worth mentioning (zte/kyocera/BlackBerry/I phone) and Motorola is the best value by far the only downside is the locked bootloaders it's a shame no one is working on the xt 1028 it was a great little phone

Kingroot 4.8 works. But only temporary root. and sometimes later everything crashes

System cant be writable, still

I still have my xt1028 and keep hoping people will report root. I've intentionally avoided upgrading it to 5.1 hoping I can get root 1 way or the other
My phone I bought to replace this one (VS880, LG G Vista for Verizon) was able to be rooted, its a crying shame this one still cant be rooted.

I was about to root it after installing busy box (no root) and then running the king-root app a few times after that i was able to root it but only a temp root, however having the temp root i was about to uninstall some of the unnecessary system apps but i would like to have a full root on this phone and a custom ROM i know it is possible because i have been searching the internet for years looking for a way to root it and i have found custom roms and recoverys for it so its possible to root we just need to find how because how and why would custom roms and recoverys be made for this phone if you can't flash then so there has to be something out there that can help.

I'm so sad of hearing this, I just got this phone ( xt1028 ) as a gift two days ago and I was quick to figured out it needs to be rooted because it don't have SD slot so all the verizon crapp can be removed, this news just upset me.

New update??
I upgraded to 5.1 and notice there is an update pending. Anyone know what they are patching? I doubt they would push out another update for this phone unless something is vulnerable.

I guess if obtaining root was possible, someone would have done it by now. I would've liked to install a Marshmallow ROM, but 5.1 works great, so that's something.

Why
I'm always do what ever you said but I didn't find anything I have search

Bootloader Unlock and 6.0 Flashing Progress.

Iv started this thread to get talking about unlocking the bootloader and a proven flashing method for 6.0. @LGMONO and @ZVNexus are working on root for a 6.0 tot, if it its authenticated. But, we still need a method for unlocking the bootloader, aswell as a stable way to flash the tot so we can back up and gain root. So for these cases, anyone have a clue where we are at with them?
UPDATE: 3-27-17
So no way for root has been found yet, but its not over. Android 7.0 Nougat has been confirmed for the LGV10 and we are supposed to have it by the end of this month so realistically, I say sometime next month. Now hopefully they will ease up on the restrictions in 7.0. But i have found something interesting with 6.0 on the v10. I tried to install Stump.apk (a root-kit app) and android warned me that the app contains code that tried to alter android or something like that. Anyways, so my guess that a new way might be possible to gain root access. If you can force an app to change its code after being installed, that might work... If it can even work like that. They have over hauled the security on the v10, so atleast your stuff is relatively safe if you do your part.
For now, im gonna start talking to people to see if maybe lg or at&t would consider removing their block once a phone has gone out of warranty. Im on lease for mine so I can kinda understand why they dont want it modified, but if i pay it off or out right, i should have the right to do as i wish for it, so im gonna try to talk with them about that.

UPDATE:
After looking around, some people found success of downgrading to 5.0 or 5.1 with LGUP on the g4. Now it didnt say it was carrier specific, but, if its not, then im beginning to wonder where the problem of just flashing a tot really is on the v10.

We are pretty close. This is pretty weird though, when I open boot.img on the Marshmallow TOT, it refuses to open the archive, and fails. The boot.img on the 5.1.1 TOT does not have this problem however and opens just fine. This is strange and it is risky to flash not knowing if it might work. If only I had extra phones to test this lol

It might be as simple as just a broken boot.img. im not 100%, but i dont think there is any signitures of authenticity in the boot.img, so you might could use a different one. I have a copy of the 6.0 TOT. Later ill go try to unpack the boot.img and see what i can find.

We would have to use the boot.img from a 6.0 AT&T LG V10 Though, because of Anti-TOT Rollback. Changing the boot.img with one from 5.1..1 would screw that up I think.

Its not that the phone is dead, its just that the majority of the people who bought this phone did not buy it to root or anything. They bought it because of the camera. Anyone else would have bought a LG G4, G5, or a Samsung Note. All of those are VERY good options if you want to root.

I mean, its not that bad. Right now without root you can still customize your phone to a extent. You can use a program to disable (NOT REMOVE) any programs you want, so all AT&T bloat doesn't show on my app drawer anymore, same with any LG apps. A nice wallpaper, Nova, a icon pack, and it looks pretty fine and dandy! Right now I have about 4 months left and then I can get a new phone. Not too bad. Was thinking about the new Nexus lineup.

Yeah I still have some time, but I'm going to just save to pay for the new "Nexus" out-right (I think you have to anyways). This is really too bad. I've never owned a phone that was so locked down that we can't unlock the bootloader, root or anything. It's maddening. I should have done better research; if I had, I would have found that the "root" we had for 5.1.1 was only temporary and there was no unlocked bootloader.

Hey all! Good news! A 9-year-old bug called the "Dirty Cow" exploit still exists in the Linux/Android kernel can easily grant root on any Android phone!!! See the video below.
http://www.xda-developers.com/9-year...on-of-android/
So there's another bug to exploit for root and even possibly unlocking the bootloader! The bug has been fixed recently in Linux but hasn't been rolled into Android yet. If anyone can get this working on my AT&T LG V10 (running Marshmallow) I'll give a reward of $50! Plus you'll be my hero! Now get crackin!

Finally LG has released a new software update (Build H90021w) for the AT&T LG V10 H900 phone.

I like this phone but need root. This phone on At&T seems dead for development after a year. Just bought an OnePlus 3t 128g with delivery today. That phone has development. ROOT! Goodbye V10.

I've been having issues with Wi-Fi staying connected to either home or work networks and have to reboot the phone to get them to connect

I have just yesterday got a replacement phone from AT&T after getting bitten by that boot loop found on certain models. Oddly, it took about a year to manifest. I now have LG 810, with Android 6.0 preinstalled, and updated shortly thereafter to H81022b software. So far, it's been okay, but with all my apps and data gone (I did not root the earlier model, out of fear it would brick my very expensive phone) I haven't done much. I am considering rooting it, but ... I need to make sure it will work right. So far though, the phone has not been acting weird, so it's good, I guess?

You wont be able to root your device as you cannot downgrade from latest firmware.

I read some where on XDAdevelopers (I wish I could find it to post the shortcut), that any phone, you can get the image from your phone then add root to that, and finally flash the new image back on your phone. Is anybody familiar with this? I have read so much looking for away to put root onto my phone, even if it means flashing a rom onto it and then rooting. Or the rom comes with root.
H81022B
I have been reading for well over a couple of months, waiting and hoping there is even a lengthy method I could use.

Hey! Did you ever get your phone rooted? Because I have the h81022f. I think I've got a general understanding of what I'm going to have to do but I need to make sure that that last letter they add on there doesn't change a step or add or subtract something through the method of having to root it.

I had my phone repaired because of the bootloop and when they sent it back to me they had installed 6.0. I followed the LG UP instructions to DOWNGRADE back to 5.0, worked perfectly. If I can find the specific post I'll link it here. But should be rather easy to find, but haven't really been in this forum for a bit.
EDIT: I think this is what I did, under the section titled TO GO BACK TO LP FROM MM
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803

Is there still interest in this phone?

Andorid is one of my hobbies, but I only have so much time to spend (isn't that always the case).
I bought this phone because I had to ship my V20 back to LG because I was a dumb a** testing a 9008 de-brick method and screwed up royally.
Anyway, I have the V10 now, so I might as well show it some love -- IF there is interest.
Please post your thoughts / ideas on what you would like to see for this phone.
Here is what I am going to release no matter what:
* An update.zip for MM to Nougat that is pre-rooted, and debloated.
* A ROM that people that are already on Nougat, will be able to flash clean that is pre-rooted and debloated.
Here are some ideas for things that I can do if there is interest:
* Port LineageOS
* Port AOKP
* Custom kernels with cool bells and whistles (this is another one that I may do no matter what).
Here are the things that I can't do:

Please post your thoughts / ideas on what you would like to see for this phone.
Here is what I am going to release no matter what:
* An update.zip for MM to Nougat that is pre-rooted, and debloated.
* A ROM that people that are already on Nougat, will be able to flash clean that is pre-rooted and debloated.
Here are some ideas for things that I can do if there is interest:
* Port LineageOS
* Port AOKP
* Custom kernels with cool bells and whistles (this is another one that I may do no matter what).
Here are the things that I can't do:

Look forward to seeing a debloated and rooted Nougat Rom plus the possibility of Lineage on this V10 H901. Hope others will encourage you also.

I still have mine and would really appreciate a clean lineage 7.1.2 port with Xposed installed
https://github.com/abforce/xposed_art_n/blob/master/README.md
Most likely means losing the DAC, and quality camera, of course.
At bare minimum a flashable debloated with optimaztion would be awesome. Most people have left LG devices though, due to their brick, reboot, more strict root/recovery issues.

I like the phone which is why im trying to get it to work.this is my second v10 but ive taken some anti bootloop measures this time.phone works fine just network locked and cant find any way to unlock it lol.

I really like this phone and any addition is awesome. I appreciate your earlier posts and cannot thank you enough for your guide. I'm on mm dirtycow root and have not flashed 7.0 yet because I use xposed don't know yet if the (sp)Magisk frameworks will do what I'm doing with xposed. But I do want to flash 7.0 soon so thanks.

I am very interested

Yes!!! Would porting an updated TWRP also be a project you could do haha?

Yes to this

Me being an impatient dumba**, went with the LG Bridge way and didn't think about root. SMH... shame...shame....shame

I see they have xposed on Nougat now, so I guess I'll flash away Thanks!

Just a heads up, it's Only for 7.1.2 rooms, for now

root & custom recovery for nougat 7.0 . mine is h901 sticker but its f600l board & ( f600l firmware now )

Better people than me are working on trying to root Nougat on other devices and not having any luck. Well ... Nougat that has had dirtycow patched....
The easier (and I am going to try and crack this) way is to figure out why you guys can't roll back to MM. The anti-rollback version hasn't changed, so it is just a matter of figuring out why the flash won't complete.

As for the interest in this phone... v10 is still my daily driver. So I am very interested!
Now with Nougat in there, it feels like a new phone, and def. not ditching anytime soon. Got some months left on my installment plan anyway xD haha.
You're doing gods work o7

eigokyoukan,
On Nougat V10 can you check google map settings-->Navigation settings and see if the "Play voice over bluetooth" option is missing?
From what i have seen 7.0 removes this and you can no longer play directions over the phone if bluetooth is connected.
thanks

A LineageOS port would be amazing!

someone here https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/help/flashed-h901-h960-comrade-to-help-t3429025 managed to change hex values of kdz and flash a h901 onto a h960 with lgup.i myself tried this but it didnt work.either says its not the right file for the device or kdz file is invalid if i change all the hex values. this user also had the same problem but he fixed it, not sure how since the edited file he posted was deleted and he is not active anymore.I could have compared it. in lgup it passes the anti-rollback but gets stuck at modem.also seems you can only run upgrade when even trying to downgrade.

I'm still very much interested in this phone! I would love to see an AOKP type vanilla Android type of ROM. Even if it's not super customizable, it should just be vanilla Android with root.

I'm definitely interested.
And if it's possible, I pretty much want to know how to revert back my v10 from F600L nougat to Tmo again (it was Tmo).
Also in case someone is already updating on lg bridge or flash kdz, does he need to downgrade again to use your release?
Thank you

Have the phone coming. Have never owned an LG. Had to find a quick cheap phone after my Le Pro 3 took a ****. Look forward to your work.

Definitely interested in anything you are willing to develop. Was rooted on LP lost it due to a freeze issue, then upgraded to MM and was never able to re-root. Now on Nougat and would love to be rooted again and have access to any and all of the above you listed!
