Marshmallow/Nougat Root Bounty - Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development

I am collecting pledges for FULL root on Marshmallow and Nougat for G920A.
Shell root already exists for G920A, but it does not allow any system write, and attempting to remount will lead to the phone soft bricking.
Preferably, root for the latest basebands on either Marshmallow or Nougat.
I will pledge $200 toward this bounty.

Have you tried flashing TWRP via Odin, use an image for any S6, try the available american models

It is not possible on G920A or G920V due to locked bootloader.
Root is desperately needed for the S6 with poor battery life and much bloat, but only the later Marshmallow and Nougat firmware properly support carrier aggregation.

XCover Oreo 8.1 ROOT
My XCover 4 updated to Oreo 8.1. I'm so sorry that I didn't stop the upgrades from the stock Nougat ROM.
As far as I read Oreo updated the bootloader to version 2 and it doesn't allow downgrades via Odin back to Nougat. I wanted to flash a Baltic Nougat version of the ROM so that I could run a CF-Auto-Root for the ROM that I found in a tutorial online.
I also tried to get TWRP installed with an xcover4 image from TWRP Builder, but I doubt the bootloader version is the same and my phone doesn't even show up when I run "fastboot devices" when in bootloader mode. It shows up in "adb devices".
My main reason for rooting the phone is so that I can get call recording enabled.

Korean LG G5 model LG-F700S: Can vulnerability CVE-2019-2215 be used to root?

Hi
I have recently acquired a Korean LG-F700S G5 model which I want to root.
However, nothing seems to work.
None of the One-click apps succeed.
I have used the download mode to go from Android 6.0.1 to 8.0 and back to 7.0,
using Uppercut & LGUP (going back to 6.0.1 does not work?)
Fastboot mode is not available, so I can't use TRWP or similar tools to flash a
custom recovery.
Today, I got to know about the CVE-2019-2215 vulnerability which is supposed to work on many Linux kernel versions.
See e.g. github.com/grant-h/qu1ckr00t or googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2019/11/bad-binder-android-in-wild-exploit.html.
Would that vulnerability work on Linux Kernel version 3.18.31 of Android 7.0 currently on my G5?
Has anyone succeeded to exploit the CVE successfully on a Korean LG-F700S phone?
Yes. It does. I flashed Oreo with SLP Aug. 1, 2018 and the su98 exploit found here on XDA.

This is good news. Maybe all other models can be rooted this way.

Well, not really useful on Korean models. Bootloader cannot be unlocked so even temp root seems
pretty useless in the end. Even unwanted carrier apps cannot be deleted, courtesy of DM-verity.

Any InDepth test version can be use on RM 7 Pro , also Magisk root simplify methods

Hello ,
I Root some of my Xiaomi more or less knowing the procedures.
I may purchase REALME 7 Pro & if the very first step unlock bootloader using Indepth test apk., can use on this model ? not necessary a must match version of Indepth text apk ?
also, is Readme OS accept Magisk root by patching the boot.img without using TWRP ?
( similar procedures as ROOTING on Xiaomi devices ...taking out boot.img from formware ....using Magisk to patch image...... flash it back & forth between devices & computer...without using TWRP. )
Thank you very much.

Hey I wouldn't suggest rooting or unlocking bootloader even if it is simple as ABC because this device is going to get updates for sure so it wouldn't be wise yet.

You get the point !!
Unfortunately , I M-U-S-T root this as I'm required to use TASKER heavily due to my work ( and my own interest in tasker )
On Xiaomi devices they are an easy life since I've been following every firmware updates , then I download separately this firmware on my desktop, root this back by MAGISK_PATCH_BOOT.img ( sort of like you know what I mean )
There is no need no hassle to make Xiaomi root again after the firmware updates. Most importantly Xiaomi not require to re-install all apps by using above methods after firmware updates.
I hope this realme 7 pro using the same procedures. ( I just have made the purchase from India to DHL me at USD375.00 )
Thanks!

Realme 7 pro, will get official bootloader unlock tool and official kernel sources available(hopefully) in the coming, so no need to take risk just wait for it, realme is a tech enthusiast brand so I guess they won't disappoint

If you are really impatient you can try to gain temporary root and extract the boot.img using any app or ADB commands even magisk root via ADB is possible afaik I myself am waiting for the kernel and bootloader unlock but I feel this phone was launched in an early state to compete against Xiaomi phones in the same price range. Now unfortunately for us consumers this means till Android 11 update kernel sources might not be public but most probably after that it might be possible and if you use root for YouTube vanced and stuff I think there is a non root method but it's very irritating.

Thank you !!
I use TASKER and you now know which is why I need to damn deeptest.apk
temporary root is somewhat a good idea however is not fit in my case since my realme 7 pro bought over e-bay India so that anything brick I seems have big trouble sending back & forth for repair.
It is still good hints about temporary root as I never heard of ................
Hope I'm not soon to say goodbye & sell it due to long time waiting and without root. ., it happened on me once on the Vivo 19 that I sold it when I confirm it definately not root-friendly.
Thank you very much !!!!

Any update on unlocking bootloader ?
I have already unlocked the bootloader. But we will have to wait till kernel source code is released for custom recovery and rooting.

can the samsung A11 really have its bootloader unlocked + rooted?

from what i read all samsung mobiles from the galaxy S6 that use snapdragon processor have the bootloader locked without the possibility to unlock
but from many posts its seems really easy to unlock the samsung A11 SM-A115M
i just need to be sure, because i am about to buy it, but in case i can't unlock it i would buy the a10s instead
thanks!
still need a confirmation
thanks

About buy. I'm not suggest you to get this phon. It's x86, sometimes laggin' can be root with magisk but need to unlock bootloader. (You can do it pretty easy)
On my SM-A115F I'd got a root with magisk but it's not very useless. Because standart way to unlock bootloader just a bull**** and rapid dust in your eyes, you can't flash any custom rom because you not abled to unlock your SECURITY QUALCOM BOOT (QSB) option. So there's no any TWRP support untill someone jailbreak the QSB.
Also /system is RO so no very usefull options to change system files.
If you want A11 then better take A10.
A11 not really worth your money.

this sound reasonable, actually the only thing in favor of the A11 is fast charge, but i can surely live without it

Any news about Firehose leak ?
I've been pretty busy working on patching LGUP for the sake of the Stylo 6 root and carrier unlocking, but, after that's done, I planned on moving on to the V60.
Patched LGUP should allow for quite a few things. It's a big assignment and is thus taking some time, but should get done, and will unlock a lot. Menu options (possibly including a mysterious "TOT Build" function I haven't looked into yet), OPID mismatch error voidance to flash over new carriers/unlock the carrier, the possibility of disabling the ARB check (obviously this poses concerns for accidental bricking i.e "possibility of") and some other more subtle changes. I might also redo the UI for fun...that's not a priority though. If anyone by chance wants to help with that so that I could get moving forward on the V60 much faster than is projected at the moment, then here's a link to my discord server where development is focused and a link to the thread that spawned it. I can't balance both projects at once, as I also have work and life happening around me.
I haven't looked everywhere for the V60 engineering boot or firehose or whatever just yet (I haven't familiarized myself with that much yet either) but I did poke around for a bit when I got curious and nothing turned up. I'll do more in depth stuff when the time comes, but for now I'm occupied.
Either way, I'll get around to taking a look at the V60 at some point. In the mean time, if I come across something that might help people out here, I'll go ahead and post it here, or make a new forum post depending on its relevancy.
Good luck, everyone!

I'm so confused, people keep saying that there is no root for a V60 and bootloader can't be unlocked. I'm looking at a bootloader option on my phone as I type here and here is a link to the rooting v60 article.

I guess I should try it to see if it works but statements like above are confusing to me.

That would work if you had a European version of the v60. Beside that, there are no custom roms/kernel/radio for the v60...
waiting for the prog_ufs_firehose_sm8250_lge.elf to show up and a modded abl_a.bin
Can't wait for this to be available for US. I have been really wanting this beast of a phone to use for pen testing etc

Could you by chance upload a dump of your device partitions? Specifically, the boot img and perhaps your laf images? Everything in total would be really great, but I want to see if flashing the European bootloader over the USA variant is at all a good idea... perhaps we can shove the European bootloader into the USA variant and unlock that way?
Also, are you able to find your unlock.bin that LG sent you? Could you post that, too, for analysis?
I'm very curious.

Sadly no way to use given Magisk won't let me do anything right now beyond just patching the image that I pulled from the KDZ. Hopefully soon-ish we'll be able to root (and maybe bootloader unlock) this beast then really push the V60 to it's real potential.

I'm so sorry, I probably should have clarified, do you by chance have the unpatched version you could upload as well? I'd love to take a look at it and see what we can do with it, if anything, since LG likes to make their files very, very obscure and difficult to work with.
I can also, to an extent, dump some of the rootfs of the Stylo 6 but I'm yet to try it with the V60. My time here is limited until I can get the Stylo 6 done with, but assuming we finish everything we're working on, we'll have a patched LGUP 2.x dll (I can never remember the actual full version) with a patched LGUP 1.16 exe that should allow for crossflashing and dumping devices, and hopefully some other goodies among that and it should totally help jumpstart a lot of development for the V60 as well as most if not all other LG modern devices.
Hopefully!
