Has anyone installed any custom ROM, kernels, etc ..? - LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers

I am new to rooting phone from what it seems this phone has not been successfully rooted. I would love to chat with someone who is working at this or has achieved this task.

Still waiting to find a way to bootloader unlock.

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!

Bricking will not be a risk if you have a firehose programmer

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.
How to Root LG V60 ThinQ and Unlock Bootloader (Guide) (ytechb.com)
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

Hello
I have a LMV600EA with V600EA10o_00_1118 firmware. Today I managed to extract the boot.img and patch it with Magisk. I now have a working rooted LG V60. Attached is the Magisk patched boot file for the firmware V600EA10o_00_1118.

Olavbson

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.

V60 TMobile Feb 2021 Android 11 Magisk patched boot image:

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.

so for now is only Boot.img patched and can it be used to root permissions the T-mobile variant and we must to wait for unlock bootloader?

Sadly we can't even get root permissions until we get the bootloader unlocked on the T-Mobile V60 unless if some other method is found.

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!
