Typo in Project FreeGee script, and LG Motion test - Sprint LG Optimus G

I'm unable to post in the actual thread for the Project FreeGee, because my post count is too low. I wanted to report a tiny typo in the FreeGee script for unlocking the bootloader. In the file: freegee.sh
line 6
exhit 250
Also, I'm planning to attempt flashing this FreeGee bootloader+recovery on a LG Motion 4G. It is also a snapdragon CPU, but a different chipset. I understand that there is a high chance that it will fail and hard brick the device. Since the authors of FreeGee haven't revealed their "secret sauce", then I feel I can't know for certain that it won't work without trying. Unless one of the authors of FreeGee can assure me that it won't work, then I plan to try it in the coming weeks.
Thanks

This probably wont help you but...the Freegee v.5 in that post has been revised. Up to v.54 and a paid app from the Playstore. So i'd guess its been fixed.
As for trying it on something its not built for...good luck.

I can assure you it won't work. Bootloaders are not compatible with different devices for many reasons. Flashing our bootloader on your device would certainly brick you. The devices are not at all similar.

Unfortunately for you, we were simply lucky. We simply use the Nexus 4 bootloaders and VOILA, we are unlocked. Unfortunately for you, there is not a similar Nexus device to you. You could try building Qualcomm's LK (Little Kernel), which could help you, but unfortunately for you, this bootloader here will not help you.

thanks, even if we built a kernel we would not be able to flash it because of the locked bootloader :\

Nah, it's what the Android Bootloader is based on
http://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?q=qu...lang=en-US&w=8tsMLLdET5LziiycMiCaRvq68qL0xsDQ
You could flash it with dd in terminal emulator or adb shell, but if it didn't work, it could brick you.

TWRP for the T-Mobile variant, correct? I haven't seen a confirmation from anyone that the bootloader is unlocked for the other variants.
Will twrp work on all variants out of interest

Did they find a way to unlock it and use TWRP? I know what you mean because normally that's the case unless there is a work around. In really hoping this will happen for all models of the G3.

Im very confused. From what i gathered from the devs they are releasing everything for all devices at the same time, i.e. a universal bootloader tool, or is this not the case anymore...im itching to get my bootloader unlocked and this isnt an ask for an eta or anything, im just wondering if i have got my wires crossed. My d855 has been rooted since day one with no issues and im worried my bootloader will forever be sealed.....is the tool people are saying is available this weekend, the universal bootloader unlock?

They're working on a universal root first. I could be wrong, but I expect the release this weekend will be TWRP for the T-Mobile variant.

you "gathered" wrong..
dev's usually release things when they get them working perfectly, and have a safe way for N00bs to install things without immediately bricking their precious devices.
"Universal" bootloader tool is a pipe dream so dont hold your breath waiting for that
Rumors are just that; rumors, so when your phone's bootloader gets unlocked, you will surely know for sure; until then, its all just SWAG..

They are looking for a universal root for all the variants.
They are also trying to unlock all the variants.
They think that unlocking one variant might allow the unlocking of other variants, but not necessarily all variants.
They are not looking for a 'universal' unlock in the same way that they are looking for a 'universal' root.

[Q] Bootloader unlocking for LG G3 D850,D855

Looked at some threads and still wondering if they still works on unlocking bootloader. Seems like it tooks so much time for Devs, have anyone knows whats happening? Is it seems unlockable or not? :/

The T-Mobile US version comes unlocked. No one knows yet whether the other G3 versions will be able to be unlocked. The G2 was never unlocked but a work around where you could install custom Roms and kernels was eventually found. Its very much wait and see.

Looked at many forums that people opened about 1-2 months ago. It seems like very very difficult to unlock it. I have much respect developers whichones tries to unlock it. Hope they can be successful on this. I'm glad to have stock rom this is very smooth i can admit it not like laggy touchwiz. But want to give a try to CM or PA or any AOSP ROM's like this, because back in time i was used AOSP based rom on my S III I9300 and loved it. Only reason that i want AOSP ROM is i think im loving pure Android it gives me ultra-smooth performance and simple UI.
The Verizon and AT&T threads have a bounty over $5700 and it looks like a few devs are close to having a solution.
what about the sprint ls990
Any word for Tge sprint ls990 at all I know it might be wrong section but might as well post somewhere

If someone can point me into the direction required to do bootloader unlocking i will give it a shot. Am a developer but have never attempted to do a bootloader unlock.

Locked bootloader is like hot beer. Seems and tastes awfully. I wish companies sends their flagships with unlocked bootloader like T-Mobile did. Without custom recovery we're not able to even do a simple tweak (The tweaks who requires recovery such as modified frameworks and SystemUI's) Otherwise there is another option G3 Tweaksbox. But it shows very limited options if you're poor to buy it.

HMMMM well ill have a look at what i can do tomorrow. Maybe i can find a small window here. I almost want to say that the abswer would be to adjust the bootloader to simply allow multi boot possibilities with partitions (at least in my mind that would be pretty cute).
I dont even really want the money. I just want to be able to do what i need to do. Multi OS's on one device.

Also it's good to someone has interest about it. But it's ultimately hard job that they cannot solved in past 4 months. I appreciate all the tries/works on this job. Developers, you da real MVP! Well, other than that small joke we're still waiting. Not only international model D855 other models such as AT&T is waiting to unlock bootloader. T-Mobile users lucky that they got unlocked G3. I hope they will find a cure about it.

Hehe ive also bricked this baby a few times now but lg has a cool restore tool that fixes all the issues.
Why cant we just copy the unlocked bootloader and overwrite the locked bootloader?
But nontheless. Maybe ill end upnrewriting a boot loader to work. But that might take some more time.

So you can say, i tried to modifiying build prop and ended with softbricking but so i got nandroid which is nice to me. Me neither. On my Note 3 i was tweaking build prop without any problem i've even enabled softkeys (I wondered a bit about how it will look etc.) But not gonna touch until this thing unlocks fully. Using stock rom & root with bloatware removed. With helper programs such as Greenify+Coolify. It's like science it's all about develop, try, fail, develop (or fix/debug),try, fail, develop try, success. It's alla about to hardwork and i appreciate all the efforts that developers given on this topic.

Variants have different bootloaders. So we cannot do a copy/paste on it. If it works like this the devices will be unlocked in 10 min. I almost softbricked too but won against my wonder and didn't touched anything. It now works good. I love G3 even its bootloader locked lol

T-Mobile is the only one with the bootloader unlocked so they have full access to using recovery and roms, I don't know if other variants are using a recovery yet since I am a vs985 (verizon) user I don't watch them closely
For vs985 we can't get into fastboot mode because verizon decided to remove or disable it, so we can't use tethered recovery (temporarily booting the recovery from adb shell)
I can tell you that Recovery's aren't hard to make at all. its just we don't have a way to use them right now &
Roms will quickly follow after Recovery's are able to be flashed

I'm really excited about it , because when I bought my g3 I left my note 2 for experiments, and hell isn't the name for what my oldie note went through.
My point is that I finally learned how to install custom EVERYTHING. from kernel to build.prop,and my hands are itchy to do the same on my g3
Unfortunately and until the bootloader is unlocked, we have to patiently wait for our great devs to unlock this retarded bootloader. It may take a couple of days, it may take a month, it may never happen. We just have to wait. Oh, and friendly advice: never ask for an ETA on xda

What's gonna happen with them G4s though?

So I (like many others) was able to root the g4 but got the short end of the stick with a unit that is not from the english...sad face... now the real question is, Do we have no other hope besides team Codefire? hopefully we can get together all the info we know on what to do after rooting with these devices. i have hopes that @autoprime (never me the guy, but i am told he is a smart dude) will tackle this issue if he ain't too busy

According to this you can. I'll give it a try and let you know. ( note: just installing the app doesn't work sadly)

Are Qualcomm TrustZone keymaster keys the path to our unlocked bootloaders?

It seems we are getting the keymaster keys very soon:
https://twitter.com/laginimaineb/status/737051964857561093
Could this mean we all get to unlock our bootloaders?
And more importantly, can we lock our bootloaders? I've got the H815, European model, so I can unlock my bootloader, but then it's stuck unlocked. Bam! Warranty gone.
Can someone briefly explain the end-user aspect of this to me please? Does this mean we'll eventually be able to unlock Qualcomm bootloaders and/or boot unsigned images on the Verizon G4? If so, any idea if it's dependent on a MM or KK base or should work on any version?

What I DO know is that if you encrypt your device. The device can now be decrypted in the hands of a hacker or anyone else for that matter with the relevant skillset.
The only real roadblock is the passcode on your phone if there is one set. And at that point, brute force (aka trying til you get it right) will get the job done.
As for the bootloader. I'm not too educated in Android (Took level 1 Android at school, didn't like it) but it looks like it might have some potential in helping us out. But I'll let one of the devs make that call. Feels too good to be true.
If it can decrypt 64 bit sys like it claims very well could be possible.

Sounds like a good news. I don't have phone encrypted, so no bad news for me.
by this point G4 is over a year old
even if this was a viable option of unlocking the bootloader, I doubt many would be interested in it and that it would suddenly bring ROM developers to the G4..
LG blew it with G4 (regarding the bootloader unlock), the damage has been done and most of the relevant people moved on

Thanx man i aint no one special. Im just puttin in my best i aint in it for no bounty or nothin i just want a device that works rite. Just hopin is all. Ive been in this for a while. I used to mod nes roms back in the day on hex edit so i have a little know how in that area. Ive managed To fix all my hardbricks most def with the help of others but if theres a tool thatll get us one step closer im in. Ill test it on my own device im so mad at lg and sprint i dont care if it does brick at this point ill go back to my og note 1
All i know at this point that most of the boot partitions are encrypted with a 256 bit key which would take some of the strongest computers in the world a long time to brute force thats why i think this script prob wont work but i dont know until i try it. Its kinda like tryin to hack the password on a zip file but worse. Ive spent weeks trying to brute force zips so thats why i got my doubts

Im trying to find one of the scripts that extract the keys i cant find one. Most of the comments lean towards it being able to decrypt any qualcom chiped device from what it sou ds

The guy hasn't released the script yet so that may be why.

So what exactly does this mean for us assuming the script is released? Will we be able to pull our encryption keys and therefore unlock the bootloader (assuming any necessary changes are made), or am I misinterpreting all of this? Also, it appears that he did this with phones containing the Snapdragon 805 SoCs, does that have any bearings on us seeing as ours is an 808 SoC, or is it not bound by the SoC? Sorry for the newbish questions. Not really well versed in the inner workings and creations/implementations of hacking/exploits/etc.

thats about it were just hopin it will unencrypt the bootloader then from there a unlock should be a lot easier
"@laginimaineb And wrote a script to decrypt all keystore keys. This can also be used to bruteforce the FDE passphrase off the device! (2/2)"
