woops didn't put this in guides, sorry
This should work for any KDZ firmware of any LG Device, but figured I'd write this for the Wing, as so far, its the only LG phone I own and the one I'm most determined with
This is not a full Root Tutorial. This is a step in the correct direction though. These are the After-Steps, so bootloader unlock is still needed. Sorry
What You'll need
- KDZ Tools (see attachment -- virus total scan just because: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file...zODc2ZTViOWQ1MTlmN2Q0NzFiMjI6MTYzNzgyMTYwNg==)
- Firmware KDZ file
- Magisk Manager installed on device that IS NOT your LG Wing (at least for me, explained below)
Instructions (video coming soon)
1.) Download KDZ Tools and extract them to a folder somewhere.
-- I usually make one on my external drive and drop stuff there, but desktop works too
2.) Download whatever firmware KDZ file you need
3.) Put that KDZ File in the same folder as the KDZ Tools
4.) Run "OneKeyExtraction.bat" and select Y if the KDZ is in the folder with this same file
5.) This takes A LONG WHILE and you need a good large bit of storage space available (50gb+) because the extraction goes raw format and some image files at first take up 20+GB as 1 file
6.) Once complete, you should have a folder named "F100X_usersigned_etc" ... open that to find your img firmware files. There's 31GB of IMG files here if its the Android 11 1020 KR FW
7.) Copy one of the boot.img to your device with Magisk Manager installed
-- The reason I stated on a different device, is that at least for me, Magisk Manager kept failing to patch on my LG Wing. When I put the boot.img on my OnePlus 7 Pro 5G, it patched just fine
8.) Open magisk manager, select Install, Select and Patch a File, select the Boot.img and patch it
9.) Once patched, that's a rooted boot.img, pull it off your device back to your computer and hold on to it for when we get a way to flash it and root the device!
root theory:
Interupting the LGUp flashing process of firmware when it gets to boot partitions to load custom boot.img's. How to do this exactly, not sure. If there's a way we can re-kdz these files from KDZ tool, that might work too
I can tell you right now, it wont work because the bootloader is locked. The hash of the patched boot.img on the phone won't match and you will get "Your device has failed a routine check, your phone is unbootable."
Sorry to debunk your theory. We need a firehose and a engineering bootloader.

Hi, are you willing to dump the bootloader from your phone? Because it looks like you have a development device, so it has an unlockable engineering bootloader that can be used to unlock other LG Wing and Velvet devices.

Reason I guessed demo device is because of the 0'd IMEI, but I guess as a dev device, 0'd imei is gonna be there too

I would like to know how to upgrade to a new ROM (Lollipop or better) on my Verizon HTC One Max with the option to return to stock. Software Information: 4.4.2, Sense 6.0, 3.09.605.3, 6.20, 4.60_002, 15432, 5
I was told to use (and did) Sunshine and then downloaded SuperSU from Google Store (per very detailed instructions and was told to not choose TWRP when the question popped up to choose one or the other (common/normal?)).
My phone is now UNLOCK and S-OFF as well as Rooted (but I'm having a lot of problems with blank screens, etc. and even had the black screen with the red ! in a red triangle (and I don’t know how I got it to boot up again (pushed pwr buttons, vol +/-, etc.)). However, that is as far as I’ve gotten. Confused am I.
I don’t know how to flash; however, I’ve been trying to figure it out, but I’m lost.
I’ve downloaded a lot of files from other threads, but the instructions, while detailed, didn’t say HOW to flash or add TWRP where I (a NEWBORN NEWBIE/NOOBIE) could understand, etc. Is there a place where all this is together?
Am I out of luck or would someone PLEASE help me fix and upgrade it with the option to return to stock if needed? I would love to have Sense 7.0, if possible. I apologize for such a long post/thread.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!
P. S. My phone is now Prepaid Verizon (was Postpaid). Don't know if that matters. I have pics of the files I downloaded from one of your great guys, but they are on my computer. Not sure how to upload. I AM GLAD THAT I FOUND YOUR SITE!!!!!
@LoveSpock I am going to make this short and simple...
First off the Verizon Max software only goes up to 4.4.2. If you want to upgrade you'll need a custom rom which is why you S-OFF and unlocked...
You will need to get familiar with fastboot commands. Google is your friend on how to use if you don't know how to. Here is the link to the TWRP image for your device. http://flyhalf205.com/recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.1-t6univ.img Once you get fastboot setup you will type in the command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.1-t6univ.img Make sure you have everything in the same directory when executing the command.
From there you are free to wipe then flash anything you would like. Wiping will delete your data so text, contacts that are stored on local phone(not sim or google) will be deleted.
@Flyhalf205
Thank you for your response and instructions. Does this mean I don't need to do anything to the SUPERSU that is already on the phone (and what it did)?.... Following your instructions will wipe everything?
I'll definitely need to take out my sd card. I've saved a ton of stuff on it. ...and backup my contacts and text messages.
I have some more googling and try to learn what you wrote for me to learn. I'll also have to find out what ROM to use....
Your Padawan thanks you.

Shouldn't worry about supersu. Most custom ROMs are going to have that prebuilt into it. Once you get TWRP we will go further into detail about how stuff works.
If you use twrp no need to take your SD card out just go to setting and unchecked SD card and like lovespoke said make sure to dl the right file you can dl right fastboot files here on xda just search it
Hey! Don't mean to hijack the thread but I'm in the same boat. I've never rooted and I'm looking to root my Verizon HTC one max. I'd also like to maybe install a custom Rom but I'm a noob so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing. Ok so it's my understanding that sunshine will root, s-off, AND unlock my boot loader? Btw I have no idea what those terms mean. Anyway, if someone could please confirm that about sunshine, it would really help me out. I've already downloaded and installed sunshine on my phone but I haven't paid the $25 yet.
Xx Moe, I strongly suggest you READ the various threads on XDA about unlocking bootloaders, gaining S-OFF and rooting. You can easily brick a device and there's much less support for the Max now than there was when it came out more than two years ago.
I don't believe Verizon HTC One Max's can be rooted without unlocking bootloader/gaining S-OFF and the exclusive method for that is Sunshine (unless you know someone with a Java card). Once you're bootloader unlocked and S-OFF, you can then "flash" any partition on the device and that's how to brick the device.
Once you are bootloader unlocked and S-OFF, you start by flashing a 'recovery', which is usually the latest version of TWRP for the HTC One Max. Don't flash a recovery for a different device. (Google "Team Win Recovery Project"). Once you have a custom recovery you can "wipe" your device and flash a new ROM.
Wiping deletes all data, or some data, depending upon how you wipe, and there are not very many Verizon HTC One Max ROMs out there that are fully functional. Check the threads, one sticky thread has a listing of ROMs.
Finally, I don't believe anyone has gotten Marshmallow going on a Max, so expect the "best" you'll be able to do is a Lollipop ROM or a Cyanogen Mod equivalent.
Awesome! Thanks for the super quick reply. So yes, sunshine will s-off and unlock boot loader. That seemed to be the million dollar question since (like you said) the one max doesn't have very much support anymore. I'm definitely going to keep reading the forums because I don't want to brick my phone. I've also been watching some tutorials on YouTube. Everything (so far) seems pretty straight forward now, but you can never be too careful. Thanks for your help hgoldner!

Hey flyhalf, is there a thread on here on how to learn about adb fastboot, and flash the custom recovery for noobs? I cant seem to find it. I'm trying to install a custom rom on my htc one max but this is my first time ever rooting/unlocking an android. Ive searched the site but i cant find a tutorial on how to install the custom recovery or learn about adb yet. I have sunshine already on my phone but i havent used it yet because i want to know exactly what im doing before i pay the $25. Any help is appreciated. I already know how to get into the bootloader by pressing the power and volume down buttom at the same time while the phone is turned off.

Download the platform tools and the android usb driver. Don't need anything else.
But basically if your s-off yet. Boot into HBOOT. Power off phone and hold down both power button and the volume down button. Select fastboot using the power button. Your computer should hopefully automatically pick up drivers and call the device "My HTC" in the device manager. If not you'll need to go in and manually assign the downloaded driver using the link above to the Android device in device manager.
Download twrp image file into the same directory as the platform tools downloaded to. In windows, right click while holding down shift anywhere on the white blank area in platform tools and click on "open command window here".. From there you will type in the command fastboot flash recovery recoveryFileName.img
If it says waiting for device. Check device manager and make sure the driver is installed right.

I forget if you were s-off or s-on but you will need to be s-off or your bootloader will need to be unlocked.. You don't need a rom just yet. You could flash recovery and flash root for starters. But once you get it flashed we can start on what to do next.

Sorry... I started the thread back in January. I've been out of commission and starting over.
I had used Sunshine to S-off and Unlock. I used SU to root. I knew nothing about flashing or fastboot and am still learning. One of your original responses to my original post said that google was my friend, so I googled per your advice and found some information on fastboot.
I don't know what flash root means in your response above.
You had also gave me the link to the TWRP image for my phone. You also wrote "Make sure you have everything in the same directory when executing the command." I've added 2 of the pics again as well as one of your img file in the directory I created when I loaded Android Studio.
The Android Studio I downloaded is the latest. Does that make a difference? I did find info on this site about a minimal adb and fastboot. Would that have been better?
I'm imagining my phone will be out of commission until the new ROM is installed, right? (See how I'm still such a Newbie/Noobie!)
Thank you!

I received my bootloader unlock code yesterday so started the procedure to unlock it.
I got the dreaded 50% error, I fixed this by connecting the phone in fastboot to the miui sweet where it let me update to the latest version # 7.5. I installed TWRP and then after rebooting I lost wifi and the use of TWRP.
At the moment after spending all morning on the internet looking for answers I am stuck. My phone works but has no wifi and cannot access TWRP.
I have seen there is a tut for the soup kitchen to create a new img file but cannot find the original version I need.
I want to install the CM 13 rom, please someone offer advise on next steps to take.
Thanks

Thanks for the link, I am struggling to get it to work.
I will look at uploading some pictures to better explain myself.
Ok here is a picture.
I can't complete the guide in the video.
When I get to the stage with CMD, I verify its sees my phone but when I drag the twrp image over I get the error below.
The first error is where I forgot to drag over the image file, second is what I need help with.
Okay, from what I understand, you flashed a Stock MIUI ROM through fastboot, right? And then you are trying to flash TWRP.
From what I know, flashing a firmware through Fastboot relocks the bootloader. Can you check if you bootloader is locked or unlocked? If it is locked, then unlock it again and then flash TWRP.
use the command "fastboot oem device-info" to check bootloader status.
If it is locked, unlock bootloader again.
If already unlocked, then flash TWRP using "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-kenzo.img"
or alternatively use "fastboot boot recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-kenzo.img" to boot into TWRP without flashing it and then install the recovery image from within it. You do have to copy the TWRP img file to the phone storage first.
It says bootlodaer unlocked - true, so that's fine.
I cannot install twrp at all through cmd at all from the video.
I must be missing someting but dont know what. Is there an alternative method of installing it?

draging the file into cmd copies the path of the file with its name which gives you an error..the error just says that it is unable to locate the file.just delete "c\adb " from the below line the you are done.
fastboot flash recoveryc:\adb\twrp-3.0.2.2-kenzo.img
the right way to do is
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-kenzo.img

That's whats wrong. You have the wrong files selected
fastboot script: flash all.bat
flash programmer go into images folder and select the file named something like firehose 8976 or similar
also for rawprogram and patch find the corresponding xml files in the images folder.

When black, I open up MIFlash. I then browse for Kenzo image and click ok then refresh.
I then click advanced and confirm I have chosen correct image, raw and patch file - which I have.
I then click flash and get error as pictured.
So it look likes I was doing everything correct but still doesn't work.
I doesn't show in picture but link to programmer, raw and patch are as follows.
Programmer - C:\Users\Gary\Desktop\kenzo_global_images_V7.3.7.0.LHOMIDD_20160523.0000.23_5.1_global\images\prog_emmc_firehose_8976_ddr.mbn
Raw - C:\Users\Gary\Desktop\kenzo_global_images_V7.3.7.0.LHOMIDD_20160523.0000.23_5.1_global\images\rawprogram0.xml
Patch - C:\Users\Gary\Desktop\kenzo_global_images_V7.3.7.0.LHOMIDD_20160523.0000.23_5.1_global\images\patch0.xml
So I think links are correct.
Before I tried Dior, I updated to V7.5. Image file is for Kenzo V7.3.7.
Not sure if it matters.

That's whats wrong. You have the wrong files selected
fastboot script: flash all.bat
flash programmer go into images folder and select the file named something like firehose 8976 or similar
also for rawprogram and patch find the corresponding xml files in the images folder.

Hi Bravonova.
I already fixed this, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68187140&postcount=8
If I get this fixed today, I will donate £10.00 to charity of your choice

In the browse don't select the images folder select the folder that contains everything.
HI, no difference I'm afraid.
If possible could I add you to Skype for making this easier?
Just noticed in MiFlash for device name it stays as COM3 and doesn#t show device name, could it be that it can't see my devioce properly?
I feel like Im typing to myself here but trying to give as much information as possible.
Reading another unbrick method. It says open adb folder and open cmd with shift. In CMD I type devices, it then say list of devices attached BUT nothing there!
Then I type adb reboot edl - error device (null) not found.
I don't think it sees my phone......
Hopefully that is enough for you to know the problem.
How to fix please?

If the error shows reached the end you need to restart the pc
And as far as I see from your pics you should extract the tgz rom to C:/ROM/MIUI and all files should be in that
Remember when you extract a file it first creates a folder with the name of the file and then extracts using winRar.
This worked for me
Hit thanks if I helped.

How did you fixed the 50% hurdle? By just flashing the latest firmware and then trying to unlock? You did officially unlock right?
B'coz it didn't work for me.
Just flash the zip in TWRP to change your boot logo. These should work for any model of the G6 Play. All backgrounds are white with the exception of the original boot logo. This was done to cover up that annoying bad key or N/A message. Enjoy!
Hey, thanks for this! If I do a design, could you make it into one of these? For example, this one?

Yep, check back in like 10-15min and I'll make that a logo.
Edit: Done!
Motorola Moon
This took me a few hours. Hope you folks like it. I'll probably make a few more over the next several days.
Is there a tutorial anywhere on how make these?
These are great and just what I need, however, I can't seem to the zip files when I'm booted into TWRP on my XT1922-3 (I think it has something to do with not being able to find a download for XT1922-3_no_dm-verity_boot.img that still exists anywhere). So is there a way to flash this using fastboot?
I tried unzipping and using the command > 'fastboot flash logo logo.bin' which it said was successful, but I still see the bad key or N/A.
It would be great if anyone can explain how to get this to work for me.

You shouldn't need a no verity boot.img
You can flash the dmverity disabler then magisk.
If you already have TWRP, then dmverity has already been disabled. Or your phone wouldn't boot.
But if you need it

Thanks, yes, I downloaded that already and put the zip file into the root directory, but TWRP doesn't see it to be able to install/flash it.
As I don't need the phone rooted, as I'm just setting it up to sell on, I think I'll just reflash the stock firmware and see if I can relock the bootloader and get rid of the N/A and/or Bad Key messages, so it is like oem from the factory, for whoever buys it.

That's because TWRP can't read encrypted storage. Has to on your SD card.
These are really cool! Appreciate you sharing what you made and getting the annoying "bad key" done away with. Did you follow a specific tutorial to make these or you just already knew how? I am interested. I would like to make some is why I ask. I use Ubuntu on my home computer and I have gimp. I haven't ever really messed with it much but I plan on setting down with it soon ,hopefully this weekend and this would be a cool project I believe to start out. I'll search around here on xda and see what all I can find on boot logos. Thank you! Also thank very much for the custom twrp recovery!! If it wasn't for you I don't believe the Moto g6 play would be able to install GSI roms. :good:

My lg g8x lmg850emw that had android 10 has now tuned into a model lmg850um when the device updated to android 11
i then re installed the android 10 firmware and it goes back to correct model
And even when updating through lg bridge, the model is always wrong when on android 11.
would be amazing if someone can help or knows anything about this issue.
Maybe ill just send the phone back.
Or does something like this not happen naturally haha?
Yes - I have the same issue, flashed to android 11 kdz from here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg850emw-firmwares/ now my phone model is UM.
Where did you buy the phone from? I bought it from aliexpress refurbished, the seller must have done something to these phones.
One thing I did notice is that if I flash a different abl file onto it, then it reads correctly as EMW.

I got the ABL from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...nlock-and-magisk-root-using-firehose.4221793/
The thing is not to worry even if you F it up - you can always flash the ABL from the KDZ file.
What I'd recommend you do is remember which KDZ you flashed and keep a copy of it.
My frustation was I couldn't get into fastboot mode at all. When I flashed this abl - suddenly flashboot worked (wtf!!!) the next issue was I couldn't get the oem device-id that LG tells you to get - just wasn't working.
In the end I thought what the hell lets just run the unlock bootloader command and voila, bootloader unlocked as simple as that! Rooting it easy once you have fastboot or EDL mode as you dump the ABL file and use magisk to patch it and then reflash back to the phone (both boot_a and boot_b)

I think the only way to do that is to flash a different ABL file into it - however does it really matter? Mine says G850UM but functions fine (dual sim etc).
I'm having a similar issue but I have the US Unlocked variant (G850QM). I can't update the device because it's saying I can't change the model from T-MOBILE. Tried both LG Bridge and LGUP. OTA portion of the phone says no update.
It shows everywhere that it's the QM model. No idea what to do. I purchased it second hand and it was already on Android 11.
Edit: Fixed it, see this thread, I hyperlinked to the start of my post: [Tutorial] Crossflash, Bypass OPID Mismatched Error
I had my phone rooted perfectly fine and I accidentally let an update get by me and now it's unrooted Android 12. I really need my boot.img from GN2200_11_C.10 or I need to know where to download a Pretooted GSI image that I can DSU Sideload so I can pull my own boot l.img.. thanks in advance!!

I'm looking for a specific boot.img. it's in the title.. you need to use the msm download tool to revert back to stock. Sounds like your partitions are messed up and I assume they weren't backed up. I was hard bricked at one point and the msm tool was the only way for me to fix it all and revert back to stock. Make sure it's the correct msm tool for your phone though.

Why you can't just unlock it again? Do you have the the T-Mobile version?
The bootloader is encrypted and OnePlus's token just gives you the private to match the public encryption that keeps the bootloader from being edited. In theory if you can discover what file type one plus's token is in and eextract that and somehow dump your bootloader you could possibly manually decrypt it.
Do you have access to a Personal Computer? I could offer some links to a few programs that may be worth trying. I doubt it could hurt trying.
I could use teamviewer to try to use my tools to force your bootloader to unlock also if you happen to not find a solution.

Pretooted, that's funny as can be. A pretooted sideload so he can pull his own.
Ok so 2 things..
1st: Jayram1408, for being a senior member I'm really surprised you'd laugh at me for asking a question or not knowing something. Usually this is a safe place to learn, ask questions, and receive feedback that's positive and informative. I don't know if you think others will laugh at me with you but I doubt it
2nd: I don't know what is funny in the first place, pre-rooted GSI for DSU Sideloading purposes do exist and that's a fact. It makes it so you can use Partitions Backup & Restore properly when the GSI is loaded. Please read https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...g-boot-image-and-making-your-backups.4499447/
Hopefully that catches you up with the rest of us and hopefully in the future you are but more helpful then hurtful to members within the community.
Hey All,
I am trying to root my Nord N20, but am getting a bootloop when trying to boot boot_a after flashing a magisk25210canary patched boot_b image over boot_a. I am flashing a patched boot_b image over boot_a because I am too scared to flash magisk patched boot_b over boot_b (which contains the working OS). My version information is:
android 12
