Hi all, came across this new rooting method that is meant for Exynos and OMAP devices when I was reading Appy Geek.
Can any of you try this? I don't have a L9 but I thought that this may be interesting. Post results with device model and software version.

If it doesn't work, contact him on his thread for further support, maybe he will be able to help.

Suddenly there are two such apps with all old scripts embedded into one. These are not any new inventions. Just FRONTENDS. Nothing special.
Works only on S2/S3 and few more vulnerable devices. Not applicable on LG L9 and O2X models. Devs of these apps even don't know LG L9 exists. Tried asking them to look L9, but they never reply. And that explains their calibre.
We should not make threads for every such useless frontends.
We need scripts and apps from real developers who can crack bootloaders, exploit loopholes, compile Roms and kernels.

Do you even bother to do your research properly? Firstly, this is a new app, that uses some exploits this person discovered. Secondly, this is the person who found the massive exploit on Exynos 4 devices that allowed access to all of physical memory, so as to your point about skills or whatever, this person has them. Seeing as he mentioned the app may work for OMAP devices (worked for his OMAP3), I listed it here in the hope that it may work for those unlucky ones screwed over by LG's lockdowns. It is unfortunate it doesn't work. But this is not some app just merging old scripts. It contains original work.
Tl;dr do your research first and stop being such a hypocrite and know-it-all smartass. Your group of users stuck on unrootable V10G thread is infinitely more useless than this thread.

The term BUMPed is the only term I am unfamiliar with as I delve deeper into Android modification. I constantly hear the term BUMPed recovery, BUMPed bootloader, This will only work if you're bumped, etc. Everytime I google this question I find people referencing the term bump as a forum post method, nothing to do with android modification.
I appreciate anyone who takes the time to respond and will indeed be sure to give thanks.
Regards, d00lz.
Me too, I have never heard ppl talking about differences between "bumped" and "non-bumped"

that's pretty much it. bumped essentially just means signed. "bumping" an image is required for LG devices with locked bootloaders, it's basically just signing the image with LG keys to bypass the bootloader's security checks.
Hello everyone. I've updated my Xperia tablet Z4 lte to the 28.0.А,8,240. So does it means that I've lost the ability to make the root?((((( because the instruction of only one method for rooting says that it fits only for 28.0.A.7.24 or 28.0.A.7.27 builds.
?

Year, thank you for your answer. I see root is possible for our device, but I hesitate to do it as I don't know exactly which apps would stop working once and for all without drm keys and there are no good custom roms, even cyanogenmod. I wonder, this device was released ten months ago, and so little done.
It make me feel blue, as it kills the hope that something would change in the nearest feature((((((
If you need my help in testing new ways of root, some new roms, feel free to send a word to me, I would try to help as much as I can))))

for some people it is just "can haz video asap!?"
If you venture into uncharted territory you needs lots of technical background and some experience.
What works on one device may work with a little modification on another.
So you read a lot. xdadevelopers is a good starting point. There are books on the subject. Look for "reverse engineering" or "system security". Good Linux knowledge is very useful.
The tools you need are all free and come with more documentation than you want to read with your Linux distro.
I've been thinking about the myriad of "old" gadgets that are alive thanks to the variety of ROMs available these days.
But a fact that intrigues me is why this device has very few ROMs available ... it really is something that draws the attention precisely because it has a good potential to receive them.
I have been around the G2 Mini forums since, pretty much, when the device was released. If you have a look at the oldest posts, some of them are mine.
In that time, I have seen many devs, at first trying to unlock the bootloader of the device, with Zaaap finally succeeding, by figuring out how the Russians at 4pda hacked the bootloader of the L90, and then he, and others, made some ROMs.
Since then, the only ROM dev that seems to still be working on our device is @mobiusm . Other that him, I still work on my kernel, with the help of @likeadracula . (However, he is very busy and I don't have any features to add, so there is little work done lately)
I don't know why there aren't any other devs, although, I believe it's because of the initial price (250-300 €) so no dev got it, and, even when the price dropped, it was already "old".
So, yeah, that's what I think.
P.S.: This is not a development thread, but a discussion. It belongs in G2 Mini General.
EDIT: Thread moved by mod.
For me, one developer who works on ROMs and one on Kernels, seems like a lot for a nearly 4 year old, non flagship device.
Also, having the newest Recovery & newest ROM which are worked out properly + a neat kernel with all the features you desire should not be taken for granted.
I am very grateful for all the development that has been done and will be done and I wouldn't know why I should get a new phone, 'cause this one works just fine, at least for me.
My surprise in relation to this fact is related that this device does not differ in anything from the L90 in terms of hardware, and the boot unblocking is the same, same procedures, so it is common to see roms for L90 and not for the G2m. This is something I'm surprised about. Obviously I am happy that there is still developer for this device, particularly the rom of my preference that is the LOS, did not abandon it, so 2..3 or more roms for it does not make as much difference since I just like to use the LOS on my devices, for the stability, performance and commitment of the team to all supported devices, however, is my view, other people have divergent thoughts.

Actually, precisely because of the similar hardware, it's very easy for the L90 ROMs to be ported to the G2M.
One the devs that have made ROMs for the g2m recently told me that he is using the L90 for initial testing and then uses the blobs for the g2m to make it work. (I don't actually know, but I think that the only problem with the L90 blobs is the camera or the WiFi, if anything)
In fact, it's so easy that anyone, with the most basic knowledge of Linux, can get it to work. I think. I haven't actually tried.
So, find a ROM of the L90 that you like and give it a shot. Just follow an online tutorial and you should be able to port it.
If you need any help, just let me know. Or anyone on the forum (though, some, myself included, are busy)

In the install script in the zip, there is a command "assert" that checks the device.
Remove that line and it will install.

Nope. Only soft brick (a.k.a. bootloop)
Just restore the backup you (hopefully) made before flashing
Or, wipe /system /data and /cache and then flash a ROM for the g2m.
Still, no responsibility taken

Hey folks,
I've got a relatively simple question about the V30. I've got an AT&T LG V30 which I used the frankenstein method to unlock the bootloader and convert to US998.
What I'm trying to understand is whether or not any of the LineageOS ROMs, or the 9.0 ROM, will work on the AT&T converted V30. My takeaway thus far is that they will NOT work on my device, and my attempts to flash the ROMs echo this, but I'm looking for a more definitive answer.
Am I dumb and just "doing it wrong", or is the 931 converted to 998 unable to run these ROMs?
Cheers!

No, they won't for now.

Please read around. There are multiple places saying it doesn't work. I am working on this. It is a slow process.
For a definitive. It does NOT work.

I've been looking, however I wasn't able to find if that was for all ROMs, some ROMs, maybe it works now and not at the time the reply was made, etc. It'd be cool if ROMs had a callout on the top post (as it gets updated when there are new releases) saying "INCOMPATIBLE WITH" or something along those lines. Just a thought.

Ohhh, see, I'm dumb and see the line in the FAQ that says:
Q. Which Models are supported?
A. So far it works well on the H930(G/DS), US998, VS996 and LS998 (use H930 zip). Other models may have broken RIL or bootloop. People with a H932, please use that zip.

And think "oh, I now have a US998 since I converted my 931, so this ROM should work for me."
Most of my lack of making since of this probably stems from the fact that I swear XDA used to have a set of forums for each carriers version of the device, but in the case of the V30, all carrier releases are clumped together under one section.
Thanks for your help! I'll look specifically for 931 in the device list and remember that even though I converted to a US998 via frankenstein, it's not actually a 998.
Cheers!

Yes, previously that was the norm -- even completely separate forums for each carrier, but then most users just focused on THEIR variant/their carrier and missed compatible developments that other variants of the same phone had. "Unified" development is better. TWRP/ROMS for all where possible.*
In this case, if you had a separate H931 or H933 forum, right now there would be no custom ROMs available. All you would have is stock-based ROMs like Boombox. It's also entirely possible we wouldn't have even figured out (together) that someone could flash to US998 in the first place to get bootloader unlock and root. It still might be only original US998 and H930 which have bootloader unlock and root with bootloader unlock codes doled out by LG.
But due to the one forum, and shared development that's how [b @TxanMoe accidentally discovered WTF bootloader unlock while using Frankenstein.[/B] @runningnak3d helped him recover his phone when he ill-advisedly tried to flash his H931 to European H930 after first converting to US998 and running some old Huawei bootloader unlock code he found in an LG G4 forum Yeah, he bricked his phone and we all smirked because he was doing stuff that seemed crazy. But after his phone was recovered, his bootloader was indeed unlocked. That became the foundation of WTF bootloader unlock and root. Without a unified forum, I'm not sure enough people would have paid attention. @TxanMoe would have just bricked his phone and that would have been the end of it; he would have moved onto another phone and we would not have realized the wonderful discovery of the LG bootloader unlock exploit.
There are devs working on the problem of H931 and H933 on AOSP ROMs.
________
* In the Moto Quark forums (Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo -- all the same model phone, just different names for some strange reason) the CM dev at the time make sure his stock CM Quark kernel (the foundation of all custom ROMs) was compatible with Droid Turbo when it finally got bootloader unlock a YEAR after all the others. Thus all those variants could run the SAME CM/Lineage-based ROMs and have the same TWRP. The dev that succeeded him @BHB27 kept up that tradition.
It started out as one forum, but then the Droid Turbo owners complained because their bootloader was not unlocked and they were tired of seeing all the "development" the other phone were getting. So, the forums were split almost a year after release, and ONE MONTH LATER the Droid Turbo bootloader was unlocked and suddenly they WANTED all that development back! That's where I saw it was a mistake to split forums. It's better to keep them all together so they can share development.
In the same vein, the V30S should NOT have a separate forum. That was an XDA mistake. It's a V30 Joan, just like all other V30 and all V30S should be here. This is where the V30S ROMs are, this is where the V30S TWRP (Joan) is, this is where the WTF bootloader unlock and root is. They should merge the V30S forum with this one and use that space for something else...
Ive been rooting and tinkering with various different android phones for years now . Motorola has always been my favourite when it comes to rooting . Now my question is now what? I would love to finally pitch in on development starting with this device seeing as there is very little on this one as far as custom roms and what not. This device reminds me of the G7 Power with the A/B format. I was looking in on possibly bringing Ubuntu Touch to this device and as far as i can tell I just would need to make a halium kernal for it . Can someone maybe help me or tell me how incan possibly help on makimg that happen? Please bare with me . This is my very first time posting on this website . Im very savy when it comes to the android, ios and computers in general , Im running the stock rom and have done very little besides install some root apps. I would love to help out with any kind of development so please someone let me know . Ill be regularly checking my notifications and messages . Cheers!
I'm not a programmer, but I'd love to have LineageOS on my device. I haven't had the opportunity to play with Ubuntu Touch, but I assume that the F-droid store alone surpasses the app development for the Ubuntu Touch. Have fun!
Im suprised more people arent all over this device like when the G7 came out ....this device is awesome and the battery life alone is enough reason to want to buy it ...Guanma FTW!!

What i found appealing about Ubuntu Touch is i recently read that you can now run android apps on it and i totally agree Lineage would be awesome and an obvious first step to take with this device now that we know it can be rooted...also TWRP development is a must
So far I'm really happy with it. The only thing is with how big it is, people with smaller/weaker hands are going to have a tough time. Good to know about Ubuntu Touch supporting android apps!
I too just got a G Play (2021), after spending the past 8 yrs. with my beloved HTC Ones (m7,m9). Ironically, it was Motorola that I left for HTC. I've been somewhat impressed with this phone's performance in stock bloat (I mean stock TRIM). I came in here today not expecting to see much, if anything, on this phone; but I've found enough info to get me started.
TY XDA, for all your hard work.
