I love this phone but am just curious if anyone here is ready to develope for this phone once the bootloader unlock is available?
There's nothing to develop yet, at least on the North America side.
Devs are busy with stuff that is already present. Were they invested in the LG V20 or G6 before bootloader unlock? No. But AFTER LG bootloader unlock (or after Dirty Santa with the LG V20), development took off.
You're not going to get a list of names, if that's what you're looking for... There are people on the sideline, waiting. I bet they're examining files, kicking the tires. But they would look silly to "commit" before open market US998 is added to LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list. They would be pestered beyond belief -- as if they could do something about that bootloader unlock. (Yes, there are devs who specialize in that, like @jcase -- but others do kernel work or ROMs. They wait for the phone to be made available for development.)
Even AFTER bootloader unlock, real devs aren't going to announce stuff until it's ready, at least to be beta tested. All the empty promise threads of "I'm working on root for XXX" are usually not posted by experienced devs.
This is a fantastic spec phone, one of the two best phones of the year -- the other being Samsung Note 8. Better than any OnePlus crap and even better specs than Pixel 2 XL. It would be very strange if no devs didn't come work on this phone once it gets bootloader unlock with full fastboot flash commands.

Thanks Chazz. So there is not 1 Dev anxious to develope on this device when the bootloader unlock is released?

As I said most experienced devs aren't going to make any public statement until they're ready to release work.
But you can look at V20 and G6 for list of devs who would be interested.

Im trying to work on LinageOS 14.1.... for the H930 atleast
But Im kinda stuck atm to get this **** to boot
Something with the audio configs is messed up xD
You may take a look and help to find the solution
USB also doesnt work, so i have to use a weird way to get them logs (ramdisk script that executes on boot and writes logs to /data/ramoops)
Might change to GZOSP 8.1 though... have a system.img extracted from the .kdz of the Oreo update of the Korean version, not sure yet lol
Yes they are..i develop a new stock kernel and try to optimize the Stock rom.
But it takes a long time.
OnePlus3 was realy easy.
LG is not realy nice with source code.
Does someone know why lg has a problem to fastboot boot boot.img ?
Stucks ob LG logo and i dont know why?
Cant i only boot signd kernel with fastboot?
But recovery can boot as well.
Why not a boot.img?
Any idea?

I had a similar problem (only booted in like 1 out of 20 cases) with a certain Magisk module... was stuck on V30 logo... IDK why though :/
reflashed then everything and checked step by step my modifications if it still works or not ?

My reply got crazy messed up somehow
LG uses aboot.img not the regular boot.img for some odd reason
So, what we need is ??
Rename from boot to aboot ??
Not realy or?
If you extract the kdz file you will see the same boot_6.img.
Same file as new created boot.img
So how we can test it wihtout flashing it?
Shouldnt aboot be the bootloader ?
Atleast that was the case on my Oneplus 2... So i recommend not to touch it.
And selfcompiled kernels work, didnt do any modifications though, just changed ramdisk (for lineage, USB doesnt work though... and audioserver crashes)

Yes, you are right. Aboot.img is the bootloader. I remember now after going through it
@ SGCMarkus this is the problem.
If i mod the ramdisk, fastboot boot boot.img didnt work. stuck on logo.
Maymbe be have to flash it.
But iam on holidays. Not interesst to kill my device
I remeber this problem even on my LG G3.
I think the self compiled kernel will work.
Could someone try to do this fastboot command with orginal boot.img?
Does ist work?

Im currently not at home to try this, but i have a few boot images at home which i could try (e.g. fash my broken lineage build and check if i see a bootanimation if i boot just the image it provided via fastboot lol)
Magisk, dm-verity and so on all modify the ramdisk... so atleast the flash should work, but also TWRP has a different than normal ramdisk, so idk why it shouldnt work for others?

I thank you for your work on the Droid Turbo the last couple of years. You stayed ahead of control freak Verizon for their locked down bootloader, when the other Quarks had easily unlocked bootloader via code from Motorola. Your efforts let a lot of people participate in the available Quark dev work.
I respect you and your work. If you don't want to make LG bootloader unlock/root public, that's your right to do so. Just as I supported your right to charge for Sunshine.
This V30 phone does have amazing specs. I wish someone of your caliber was working on it.

I take that as encouragement! If JCASE is working on this and in the v30 forums we are in damn great hands for our v30s. You have me excited buddy

Uhmmmm.... he may work on it in his own time, but he's said he's not going to share results publicly. He's not an admirer of LG. It's up for him to speak for himself, but I've heard in the past others in the LG forums acted badly. He doesn't NEED that kind of grief. Many other stuff he can be working on, where he'll be appreciated -- and that's probably why the carrier variants of the LG G6 (like Verizon) never saw published (public) bootloader unlock and root.

Nothing to do with donations, at all. It's because of the way the LG community has treated developers, how some of their fake "developers" steal and sell work of the real ones, and frankly because they won't leave me alone, PM me non stop when I make it clear I am not doing it and then lecture me about how I should do it for {reason}.
If the LG community wants it done so bad, there are plenty of resource to learn from, they can pick up and start working on it on their own.

So, I've been reading up on XDA for about a yar and a half, and just now registered. I used to have a Motorola Cliq, and now I have a LG P769. xD Big jump, no?
Well, I was just wondering, rooting the Cliq was xtremely easy and didn't require adb, just an apk to root it. Will it be that easy for future root users?
As far as the bootloader and recovery being locked by LG, the bootloader issue I'm not worried about; But as far as it goes with the recovery, couldn't you just modify recovery.img find teh lines of code that require the encryption key, and remove them, resign recovery and flash it back on the phone by shoving it in a kdz?

If you're rooted installing recovery is as simple as installing an apk. I will admit the rooting process is kind of annoying but overall its not that hard.

Tmobile has been quiet about it but that's not a surprise
The international variants got jellybean March 13 and it'll take Tmobile 2-5 weeks to add their bloatware and test.
So really it's from any day now to whenever
I really doubt they will relock the bootloader cause it would be more work for them.
I'd bet on Tmobile being lazy over making more work for themselves
But I'm just speculating and waiting like all the rest of us 769ers

The LG G3 recently got a bootloader unlock. It consists of modifying boot images in some way to make sure they boot. I think this is worth a look guys.
There is going to be a guide up on how they modify the bootloader signature soon.

It is not useful for an unlock, but may be useful for a bypass. They haven't stated whether or not it is LG-specific or Qualcomm SoC specific. If it is Qualcomm SoC specific, then it should work on the HDX as it has a Spandragon 800 and the G3 has an 801. I have been interested in how this exploit works since day one. When they release the method, I may be able to cook something up and ask a few people to test. An unlock would be better, though, so people could get into fastboot mode if something goes horribly wrong.

Ah, well, back to the drawing board.
The only other similar type of bypass is for the fire TV, which now allows for custom kernels too. Maybe someone can go ask rbox to see if his signature bypass is something that can be used?

The links you have will work ok... There is no official TWRP yet that I am aware of just as there are no official ROMs (that I know of) there are however unofficial Lineage and Paranoid Android ROMs, and unofficial TWRP
There is a tool from LG that will preform bootloader unlock
I hope this helps

Nice to see some development interest for this phone!
Maybe it's too early to know but recovery for T Mobile variant will be the same as Android One?
Sent from my Huawei P9 powered by BlueWei [emoji41]
If I had the device I'd take a gander at making a recovery. I'd even make a CWM just for the fun of it if possible. Keep in mind I've never ported a recovery but I don't imagine the process is that difficult.

My guess is that the Android One variant will have A/B partitions for seamless updates, so there's going to be a different recovery and install method. All devices endorsed by Google since the launch of the Pixel use the new partition table and this results in difficulty in 3rd party development. Pixel doesn't have an official LOS ROM yet and just got official Magisk last month. It's going to be a rough start, but the community will grow.

We are able to unlock the bootloader, Which means we can go Super CID. With Super CID we can flash (in DL mode) a magisk patched boot.img , and achieving root access. So next will be porting a recovery........ Get to work.

You don't need SuperCID to flash a boot.img. That's simply incorrect.
Also, there was a link posted in the U11 TWRP thread to a test TWRP build for the U11 Life. Not sure if anyone tried it, but there were also device files uploaded, so it's probably a good place to start.

Technically yes and no , there arent any Tmobile boot img's floating around, so it has to be another GSM boot img. To ensure there are no hiccups being SuperCID wouldn't hurt.

I repeat: SuperCID has nothing to do with flashing a boot.img. You can literally flash any boot.img that fits on your device (with a proper header & dtb) if the bootloader is unlocked. CID isn't involved. In fact, SuperCID leads to issues with Carrier customization on newer devices, and RUUs will only flash on devices with the correct CID, not SuperCID. I think that happened around the time of the M9 Marshmallow or Nougat update.
In fact, you don't even have to flash the boot.img. You can simply fastboot boot it, and you should still be able to achieve root. And then you can back up the stock boot.img so there IS a T-Mobile boot.img "floating around." If someone just downloads one of the RUUs from Easy Firmware, uses the Decrypt Tool to extract it, and then Magisk to patch it, it should be possible to dump all of the stock T-Mobile device partitions.
Haven't seen you around since the Evo LTE. But I may be getting the U11 Life pretty soon, so I should be able to contribute in some way or form to the development of the device.

I paid the 15 dollars from easy firmware hopefully it's not a scam website and real files. I'm down loading one now. I'll keep you posted

You don't even have to flash it. Just fastboot boot it from the bootloader and see if it works. That makes literally zero changes to your device. Nothing to risk at all.
Also, if you're not willing to soft brick your device for the purpose of testing, then there's no way you'll ever have a working TWRP.

It's a real website, and the files are all real. If you grab the combined signed RUU for the 617 region, you should be able to patch the extracted boot.img with Magisk for root.

Thanks and I'm willing to do anything it takes. I know the brick won't be forever I've been getting HTC since the evo days. I really do appreciate all your help.
well there now guys and gals I did it, I OEM signed a prerooted custom rom and flashed it onto a locked bootloader device(LGL84VL Straight Talk LG Stylo 3) with LGUP and a modified lgl83bl dll. So I am seeking good hearted folks that think like me and believe we should actually own the things we pay for, and can help debug test etc im only looking at LG right now but im willing to share with the right people this method (if all OEMS are as sloppy as LG bootloaders and twrp is going to be a thing of the past) if someone else want to try another OEM its going to be a lot of work but I believe in the end it will pay out and the hard part is already taken care of Looking forward to hearing from you soon now im fricking exhausted been up over 2 days straight workin on this Goodnight yall much love and many blessings your way
TeH one and only FaTT
Does it work? Did you get a working root this way? What could I do to get my hands on that file and try it out myself?

I got it to work with a few different models yes full root, im sorry i dont understand what you mean by "file" for each I had to uild a custom rom then RSA sign the firmware file.
I got an lg l84vl, been looking for any way to root or get my hands on a custom rom, I was wondering if you'd be able to share your ROM you've developed for it so I could flash it to my phone and try it out?
