[NOW PUBLIC] Team Codefire Presents: Project FreeGee for Bell, Rogers and Telus

We now have working exploit for out Canadian friends .
We are publicly releasing Bells, Rogers and Telus. This is the same 0.5v that removes LG Security.
Further details can be read in thecubed's post here.
Due to the nature of the varients make sure you download the correct file!
Bell:
http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/optimusg/bell/private/freegee/FreeGee-0.5_Bell.zip
Rogers:
http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/optimusg/rogers/private/freegee/FreeGee-0.5_Rogers.zip
Telus:
http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/optimusg/telus/private/freegee/FreeGee-0.5_Telus.zip
Currently, the download is Windows-only. I will make a OSX/Linux/Windows version soon
Also Bell, Telus and Rogers are now supported by the 1 click freegee app! This is $1, and the pc method will always remain free. This is just for those lazy and want to donate .

Worked perfectly! Thanks again to Team Codefire for high levels of awesomeness.
Now bring on the roms! lol

Thank you! :highfive:
EDIT: I'm wondering if someone made this flashable, we (bell, rogers) would be able to flash the BASE ROM from the att forum and then flash this since at this time we don't have a rom that's flashable yet..

thank you very much for your hard effort and work!
EDIT: works great on rogers.

Snap! I will do it tomorrow at work. During my own free time of course many thanks.

Do you still need the dump for Telus or you have what you need now?

Just need someone to test. Hope on irc. Ill be on in 2 hours.

Awesome stuff, I guess now I have no excuses to not get this phone as my next one.

Awesome!
Works fantastic on Rogers. Would love a de-rogersfied rom as well.
Thank you everyone!

Does the Rogers version have a lot of bloatware on it? I remember my Samsung Captivate having about 3 or 4 Rogers apps put on it/

around 4-6 for rogers then theres the lg crapware

If it disables LG Security does that mean we can safely uninstall google apps like movies and books?

Im just trying to make sure I have all my ducks in a row here, so I appologize if this is a redundant question. Which recovery are we supposed to use?? In the Sprint development forum there is a tethered version of CMW. Do we use that?? Or, is there something included in the FreeGee exploit? Or even still, do we just use the stock recovery?

Freegee includes CWM. Once it's done you can boot into the bootloader and get to cwm, or use adb and reboot into recovery that way (easier, because we can't see what we're selecting in the bootloader at the moment, vol down twice then power gets you there )

Just so I am clear you arent able to see the fastboot options because of LG's doing right? Not because of the exploit made here? Or was it because of the exploit and that was just an unfortunate side effect of doing it this way that would be fixable in a future update?

Nothing lg related. I believe it is just a trivial side effect and they rather release a version as quick as.possible and put focus on.more important stuff than target irrelevant images

what about f180l

savages ininksh
Awesome! Can't wait for the custom roms coming, especially if it fixes the battery issue!

I rooted and unlocked without any issues. However, when I enter CMW and attempt to make a nandroid backup of the original Rom it says "Can't mount unlock path". I've never run into this before. Do I need to mount something in the Mounts & Storage?

Shellnutt said FG doesnt support korean 4.1.2 boot yet.
Also he said he can provide a steps (if really needed) and promised the support will be added in a week.
That was almost 1.5 month ago

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

I got a question for you, why would you want to use freegee if you already have bootloader unlocked ? Plus he clearly say non american in the OP, from what I know, AT&T is american. So, to answer clearly your question, NO, he doesnt need your info.

New device galaxy s6 {root not} or {update & root}

Hey folks I've just now upgraded to this device and have been a dev for write some time now but mostly for HTC. My firmware and kernel are predated may of 2015 so I'd like to get suggestions from users that have had experience with the s6. What I'm looking to do is sim unlock, root, run twrp recovery, and eventually build roms for this device. So where should I start, take the update first, then sim unlock, root, & recovery, or do all of this now before I update my firmware using the ota? I've read that we can access root with 5.0.2 & 5.1.1 but what's your opinion? I would rather not trip my Knox but it's not a deal breaker if I do, since I own my device. Thanks in advance for your input. Oh and I'm not a noob and have read all the threads here. It's just a little confusing where to start since the device has been out a while now. You're all ahead of my game a little bit. Lol

Just do it all now. The 5.1.1 update isnt huge.

Will I just have to flash the updated firmware and rom to get the 5.1.1 if I do it all now?

Just updated today. It is an excellent guide.

Well an update here. The build that came with my device was not listed anywhere as rootable or unlockable. What I did find was info stating to update my device to get a newer version that would be workable. After that update my device still had a version that nobody could do anything with yet. Looks like I'll just have to wait it out or get another device before my 14 days are up.

I have traded my s6 for the note 5. I was hoping to be able to support this device in the future, and still may, but my gf has the s6 now.

LG-H812 Root

Hi All,
I'm new to the xda forums and hopefully not posting this incorrectly.
I was wondering if there's a root available for my G4 H812?
Thanks in advance!

Did you mean H812 because, I don't think there is any LG H912 available?

Welcome! Good news, there is root for your device. I will direct you to our little thread which can be found in either my signature or here in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449
It is a work in progress, so if you have any contributions or questions, feel free to ask!

Thank you, Spudnubs. @imarcel99 you're right, I meant the 812 ☺

I presume that you are from Canada and you're using H812. If that's so then please check out this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449

I sure am. I'll check out the three for sure. I miss having a nexus phone...so much easier

Agreed. This is pretty easy though, just a ton of steps.
I have a Bell H812, and I went with the Telus 10g kdz image, then the rooted.
Since I am a Rogers customer, I then went with the Rogers 10h kdz image, then the rooted 10h image.
xposed v45 sdk22 installed using flashfire (you have to sign up for the beta to be able to install it), and then gravitybox and my G4 is pretty happy. I miss custom roms since they incorporated some stuff that isn't in gravitybox but it's minor things.
Main thing to do is to read the threads carefully and not to get ahead of yourself.
Good luck!

Thanks goofball2k. I'll give it a shot this weekend and hopefully I don't mess it up ☺

The thing with using the LG Flash tool is there is a popup that comes up soon after it starts flashing. Ignore that window and then pay attention to the progress window, it took about 4-5 min on mine to finish. It should reboot by itself after it has completed.
For me, I really had to pay attention to step 5.
On the page you opened in step 2, follow steps 1,2,3,6,7,8,and 9 on that page only, then come back here.
Ensure that on step 9, you use the right COM port.

The step to flash the rooted image is key as well, since you have the H812
dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=548352 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
Click to expand...

Then the key is patience.
If you do the xposed install using flashfire, you really need to have patience and make sure the phone is charged.

Just wondering why this version is so much different to root when compared to the US variants.

SM-N920A 6.0.1 Rooting

Can you screen shot your kernel information in settings and then about phone so I can see what it says for the rooted kernel. And copying the entire system to use it on the other phone is possible. Just depends on certain things.

I guess I should of bought a rooted one myself...........

think that no one has the root yet on this phone, so, pay attention to the instructions that forum masters will give to you. You could be a HERO for the entire Sm-n920a community and users hahahah. Btw, i don't know your knowledge about this things but yes, is possible to do this. Obvious, when someone of the biggest users will teach you how to do what you need, you could share the system clone with us!

Not to mention there's a big donation for anyone that finds a root method. So if you really have a rooted at&t note 5 there could be money coming your way.

Do you have a username? I got another member to join in again who says he knows how to complie kernels with ease. So lets hope this gets going! Everything is layed out we just need to get the code written. Remember anything is possible when you put you're mind to it, but this is with code. Kexec has worked in the past for locked bootloaders so I don't see why my notes in theory but plausible.

Can we get a system dump of your partitions? We just need your kernel zImage and I can put it together.
I'd really like to see a dump of the system partition.

Follow a guide a make a full system dump of your rooted phone and then make a nandroid backup.
Upload it to us and we can make a clone. Please!
If you have a real full root. We need your system dump to unlock at&t and Verizon both.

Chill bro I'm working on getting it from him. I've seen accident eng phones released by Samsung before so maybe it happened again.

There's no root for AT&T Note 5 SM-N920A if you are running Marshmallow with the Nov security update! If you are on this version you are screwedededed!!!! I tried every type of way to install firmwares PH4 ==> PH2 and I tried every version of firmware I could find on this planet. I have tried OGG. I have tried crashing my installation, then trying to downgrade.
Long story short; If you have an unlocked SM-N920A running Android 6.01 with Nov Security Patch I will definitely be donating to you if you upload. If you aren't a member of this forum I promise you that you are safe. The guys here will help you make a copy of the firmware which will not include your personal information. (Look for the guys with lots of Thanks, listen to them)
So if you are coming in from Google and you are wondering if you can root or downgrade now you know that you can't. I'm a beginner Android Developer who follows directions like a champion, save your time trying to downgrade it is fully blocked by the bootloader.

unlocked SM-920A upload coming soon
