[LOKI] Official Loki bootloader bypass support thread - LG Optimus G Pro

I have successfully ported Loki to the LG Optimus G Pro, LG Lucid 2, LG Motion, and LG Spirit (with more devices likely on the way). Loki is a tool for developers that allows them to prepare custom recovery images and kernels suitable for flashing on these devices, which have locked bootloaders.
If you are an ordinary user with no development experience, I recommend you sit back and wait until your development community produces simplified instructions for you to flash custom ROMs.
Otherwise, the Loki source tree (with pre-compiled binaries) is available here:
https://github.com/djrbliss/loki
This thread is dedicated to giving the LG Optimus G Pro community a single place to consolidate all Loki-related questions and support requests. I do not have time to support this thread myself, so I hope your development community is willing to step up to the plate. In particular, I understand there has been some difficulty in accessing the recovery subsystem - I trust you guys will be able to sort that out in no time.
The only questions I will answer personally are requests to add support for additional device variants or builds. If you are going to make such a request, please provide the build number and a copy of the aboot partition, which is needed by me in order to port Loki.
Enjoy the custom ROMs!

Nicely done, you sir definitely have a knack for this!
I am also happy to see that I was right about the boot header location, too!
If you're interested, and have some time, hit me up in #lg-optimus-g on Freenode and we can talk about other exploits that can be leveraged against the rest of LK or even SBL3 for this phone.

You are a Hero!!!
My bounty pledge is 50. I'll send you 40 as soon as I get home tonight and will give 10+ to thecubed because he still did/does and will work hard for our precious "monster"
Which LGOPro versions are currently supported?

No need for an apology

Bounty paid. It's not fully unlocked, but we've got custom roms in sight now. I'll donate the same for the cubed when he gets the Loki implementation wrapped up and moboot. I'm also still hoping for an exploit that will let us unlock the bootloader. Gotta love the dev community.

At&t is pushing a software update, although I highly doubt it's for patching the bootloader it may affect something else. Has anyone updated to it or knows if it will affect this exploit.
Edit: I meant to post this in general in another topic sorry anyways found The answer when I went to the general forum. Sorry, next time I won't post from a moving vehicle.

I'll fix loki_flash as soon as possible, thanks.
Are you sure it's not an issue with your custom kernel? Could you try taking the stock boot.img, Loki-patching that, flashing it, and seeing if it boots? If that works, then the issue is on your end. Otherwise, I'll try to figure out what's going on.

Yes, It sounds strange... anyway, I will extract the LG source code again and try just compile it and Loki-patching and flash it to see...
the test before is clone the source from thecubed and just compiled successfully without modification
anyway, it is midnight in here, I will do that tormorrow again, thanks for your help

You are patching a full boot.img (with ramdisk), not just a compiled kernel, right?

I posted a little about the segfault in loki_flash here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43481635&postcount=15
it's one of those memcmp operations that's doing it.

Okay please read this carefully.
Freegee has gone under a near complete rewrite in order to make it easier to add support for new varients and software versions. It's now a very simply process for me and doesn't involve updating the app anymore. This also will allow me to add newer and better recovories.
That said this is a highly beta version. Lot of debugging code is still in there, I just need more people to test it. I've used it fine, but someone else soft bricked. I've tried to get people on irc to test so I can help in real time but alas I didn't get many offers at all. So I'm posting this here. Please though don't use this unless you know how to kdz/lgnpst back to stock. This might blow up your phone, until I get people to actually test it more than myself and skdubg did I can't know.
http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/optimusg/freegee/FreeGee-beta.apk
EU and Korean kt_kr (180k) support is added! Candians are left out cause no one would give me your lgswverion build props
edit: Also is F180L20L lgu_kr or skt_kr? I'm guessing lgu, but just want to verify.

Thank you for specifying, 180L now has initial support for version F180L20L.
As far as not being able to unlock, I'd like to get a few more people to test it to make sure you aren't one of the special ones that need the sbl stack in addtion to new bootloader. That is what skdubg for his eu E975 needed.
Ok I'll wait for the next version.
if you need I will test again with the new version

AutoRec - KitKat Recovery Installer

AutoRec
KitKat Recovery Installer​
Info
Many people upgrade to KitKat and find it so annoying to look for a flashable zip file, or trying to downgrade the bootloader, flashing patched kernel,... in order to have a working system, custom recovery with KitKat. So we make this little app to do all the job for you automatically.​
Process
Using this app means you'll downgrade your bootloader and flash a custom recovery (in this case, we used TWRP 2.7), fix download mode, also install patched kernel so you can boot back to your current system (stock LG KitKat ROM)​
Guide
Upgrade to KitKat using KDZ / TOT / OTA method
Root your device (using ioroot25)
Install AutoRec (grant root permission)
*D801 must root before taking KitKat OTA​

Untill we have a .kdz file in our hands we can't say anything for sure. Most probably (and I hope) the firmware shown in the video is only a beta because too many features are missed :crying: we saw how LG is used to manage the updates with the G2, so first of all rolled out a "beta" version in some asian countries, without some features (ART for example)..Then, some weeks later rolled out the final version of the firmware. Anyway we are very close :fingers-crossed:

Thank's very much for the useful details don't worry if you can't share the rom, personally I am not obsessed with having always the latest beta..I suppose that when it's done, LG will start the roll out, and then, here on xda, works will start Only if it's not a problem and if it's possible for you, would be appreciated if you can keep the community informed on what it's added and what it's removed between the various betas, so we can passionately follow LG's progress..if you want to create a discussion, for example, the community would be happy.
Anyway..I think that ART is foundamental for the future, so it's a great news that it's here! :victory:
knock on is a pity, so even knock code would not be there..but it's not as "foundamental" as ART for example, because I think that some talented developer would integrate at least knock on in the kernel (@ak for example, I was thinking to you LOL). The "major" problem would be the knock off, because I suppose that, if the phone doesn't have the knock on, the launcher wouldn't support the gesture to double tap to sleep.
Now it remains to see the other features that LG usually bakes in the roms, as slide aside, Guest mode (it would be REALLY REALLY REALLY useful, at least for me)..hope in good things to come :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Anyway..I think that ART is foundamental for the future, so it's a great news that it's here! :victory:
knock on is a pity, so even knock code would not be there..but it's not as "foundamental" as ART for example, because I think that some talented developer would integrate at least knock on in the kernel (@ak for example, I was thinking to you LOL). The "major" problem would be the knock off, because I suppose that, if the phone doesn't have the knock on, the launcher wouldn't support the gesture to double tap to sleep.
Now it remains to see the other features that LG usually bakes in the roms, as slide aside, Guest mode (it would be REALLY REALLY REALLY useful, at least for me)..hope in good things to come :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Slide aside, guest mode, plug and pop,... Very easy to mod (or port).
I have a problem, can not use open bootloader (nexus bootloader) to load kitkat kernel.

V29 is beta version, and has ART.
V28 has Knock On, But has been removed, because some reason conflict hardware/
Sorry for my bad english.
I cannot share this firmware. For tester only.
I hope V30b is still in beta.

Then in next version we'll have less features lol
You look too responsible about the ROM. We should wait for a more generous tester to see a leak at last.
Can you help me. How to load kitkat kernel from open bootloader ? Or help me patch with loki, i need recovery for kitkat rom
Anyone ?
Thanks

The problem is that you are the only one who has the official kitkat on OG here. Share it, then guys will find a way and strive to help you

Could you be more specific? Because I can't fully understand the problem I mean.. (correct me if I am wrong):
-We start from an optimus g, with lg bootloader (for the noobs that read, it can be unlocked with freegee)
-if you put the nexus 4 bootloader ( I suppose following something similar to this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2099784 changing the bootloader partition) I think that the phone will load properly only kernels meant for the nexus 4 (and not even all the kernels for nexus 4, according to the OP of the guide), but I'm not sure because I've never changed the bootloader..Supposing that correctly manages even the optimus g kernels (and it's possible), I suppose that the problem now is the recovery, because nobody created a recovery working with kitkat roms from optimus G. For anybody, that doesn't have almost anything for now to work on..it's almost impossible to create it, IMHO..I think we have only to wait for LG's relases, sorry

I think it's necessary because with a new .kdz rom and new android version, usually even the bootloader is replaced by LG with a new version..so the old method at 99% won't work. Of course is worth a try..but I think that loading trough nexus 4 bootloader is the only option to try..even because probably the jelly bean bootloader wouldn't be compatible with kitkat roms..
We only have to wait for a kdz, nothing else..only few weeks and here we go, hoping that someone would be able to unlock (as fast as possible) the kitkat bootloader..

Eugene373's Help thread, upcoming Rom.

Hello Everyone
Starting now, this will be the help thread for a rom I'm going to be releasing that will help get things rolling...
Currently back from the holidays & have my hands on the 13B image & working diligently to please our users.
We have a great community here, just lacking in knowledge ( myself included ). I believe we can make a very strong use of flashfire by Chainfire
I've got my goals set & I've accomplished most of them this weekend out of town, have a few more steps and hurdles to jump through but should have the rom out soon.
Until then, requests are open regarding rom mods.
This will be strictly for 13B USERs ONLY!
Original thread post:
Verizon LG G4
I've been busting my hump on this LG G4 and made some progress, right now I'm in need of the 12A System.img ( can find on my own ) but I need the Matching boot.img as well.
If anyone can help me out, that would be great!
so far, I have on every reboot: ( Without Apps )
selinux passive
insecure adbd
init.d
Currently working on Mods & what not,
Thanks,
~Eugene
I'll be releasing a custom system.img for 11A soon to help get inspiring developers going..
eugene373 said:
No one had the boot.img of 12A?
I'll up the stakes a bit then..
Now I need both 10A boot.img plus 12A boot.img.
I see all these threads, but no replies that are helpful, half promises of anything.
Help me help you..
I'll be releasing a custom system.img for 11A soon to help get inspiring developers going..

Try sending xdabbeb an email. He might have the boot image you are looking for.
Thanks! Been looking for awhile.
I'm used to everyone back in the day post dumps of everything.
EDIT
email sent, hopefully I get some help
Yeah the community has gone a bit different from what it used to be. Sadly it seems that many feel entitled and don't appreciate the work that our devs, themers, etc put into bringing about the great things we enjoy. If I had taken 12A you would have it.

Yeah bit different:
did make some headway, my touchscreen not so flaky.. Screen is more responsive now, or it just placebo effect. Quadrant score did jump as well...
More testing is needed at this point
~Eugene
So does anyone know the proper way to DD /system for a back-up?
when I dd my system for a back-up, it results back to me having to kdz.
Is the rooted image signed by LG or am I doing it wrong?
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system bs=8192 seek=65536 count=548352 of=/data/media/0/root1.img
eitherway it no longer boots..
however, I'm off to wally-world to get a new Keyboard for my Linux machine...
I can however build an .apk that will automate everything i've been doing.
and given the size of things, it might be best to build it as and updater..

You're issuing the wrong command. Seek would be used when you're looking to write to your emmc starting at the 65536 block. When you're looking to read from your emmc and write the output to your internal storage you'd want to use skip.
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=65536 count=548352 of=/data/media/0/system.img

Was getting distracted by failure, thanks again for responding to help out.
Thanks again, my back-ups are now working correctly..
on the flipside of things, my screen is no longer having missed typed..
I'll try and have an image up tonight.
@eugene373, @xdabbeb:
Have either of you been able to produce a 12a Image you would be willing to upload for me?

I've not pulled anything from the 12A image as of yet, as the masses are on 11A, as of curretly I'm still in need of the 12A boot.img.
If anyone wantd to do a pull of the partitions of 12A or 10B it would speed thing up for me. I realize the images are very large & most people will struggle finding hosting.
I could diff what changed, but since the official kdz is 11A I likely not bother until i can get things in order on my side as I'm still learning the phone.
I suppose I could update to 12A without officailly getting it regarding merging into 11A, but once again need to see what changed in the boot.img if anything
~Eugene
Sounds like a plan. I'm currently on 11a.
What to remove.
So Question for the Masses,
What Bloat ware would everyone liked to be remove for Thanksgiving Release?
Also, a side note: A Factory reset will be in order, as I've changed a few things and want to avoid non-booting / Force Closes.

can you give me the paths, i.e. /system/app > /system/priv-app
I don't have Demo mode, or not sure of the apk name.. as I'm not seeing it at all.
I'll be sure to check that this don't put the phone into a non-booting device. I've had some issues removing app's that were listed as safe, only to find that a factory reset results in non-booting.

Use the "fastboot boot twrp.img" command to get into twrp. You cant flash it. Read the rooting thread for more info.
I dont really understand what you want to post a tutorial about however i suggest you to read the other related threads i linked in the rooting thread and if you have any new stuff wirth a new thread then of course make it.

You have to port TWRP for yourself: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/development/mtk-portable-twrp-porter-t3536123
then you can try to root depending on your firmware security patch date.

LineageOS 15 on LG K8 - true or false?
@gottlasz , you have great knowledge and experience.
Can you verify the accuracy of the information on the following pages?
LG K8 Lineage OS 15 – Download and installation Guide
The article leads to the lineage-15.0-20170913-Unofficial-MT6735-64-bit.zip file from which I extracted build.prop.
In the build.prop file is information that it is prepared for Tecno Camon C7 - convergence parameters for LG K8.
From the first link you can open the page:
TWRP download for LG K8
on which is the link to TWRP-recovery-for-LG-K8.img.
It is puzzling for me that there are very many devices on this list [LineageOS 15 ROM Devices List – Android Oreo [UPDATED FREQUENTLY] with unofficial LineageOS 15.
What do you think about all this?

Our k8 is really sensitive. Its not gonna work with a ported rom. Someone with the nowledge should build a rom straight for the k8 but i guess we have to wait for it...
