[ROOT-TESTING] LG Optimus G

Hello,
I obtained a system dump off the AT&T unit, and I believe I have a workable root method for it. Needing a tester. Any volunteers with review/early units?

If you can get custom recovery, root, and all that jazz going on the Optimus g I will buy it and give you money. I have been sitting on my Inspire 4G until quad krait with really new and not just die shrunk adreno became available. Optimus g seems to be the ticket to turbo town if you can enable my scrubbing of at&t's bloatware and some aosp loving.

Assuming the recovery and boot image are signed, recovery could take a while. I'm not particularly worried about money.

Wow will the international and at & T and sprint versions all have the same development? Same ROMs etc.?
Any idea about the Optimus G having unlockable bootloader? Will get the device instantly.. Looks amazing

My upgrade with sprint is November 1, and their release date for the LG OG is Nov. 11, so as soon as I get mine, I'll help with root testing...

Roms will not be 100% compatible across the three. There will be a couple changes necessary such as kernel and radio drivers (ril) that would need to change,but for the most part, yes, development will be the same. If I get it, I can make flashable patches to run a rom from other variants.
As of now, lg says they won't unlock the bootloader and since its not out everywhere, no one has cracked it yet,but give it time and it will.

You are wrong. Thanks for letting me know you were moving my thread...
I opt'd not to post the root we got working at this time, until the US versions start to hit. The Korean variant already has a working root it seems.
Still looking for someone with the sprint variant...

Currently you have to be on 4.2.2 in order to use rumrunner to gain s-off. Sounds like we'll have an updated method soon, though.

I'm not sure when the new method of s-off will be available, but your best bet would be not to take the 4.4 update from Verizon since you can't downgrade like the previous post mentions.

Right, if you're on 4.3 you're stuck for now. It will posted in the Original Android Development section when it's ready. The instructions for the method will be in the thread when it's posted.

I had a similar problem. Just get into a live chat with a customer service rep and say the phone hasn't been working properly since the update. They ship out phones with 4.2.2!

It won't be long until we get s-off for 4.3. I did the replacement thing, but the phone had gaps and didn't line up...had the camera issue too. I sent it back. I'd rather have my original phone over a refurb. Just my .02 though.

In case you haven't seen it by now, the new S-Off program is called firewater, and you can follow them on twitter @firewaterdevs. They have posted a video of it in action on youtube. Lets keep our fingers crossed that it is released soon.

It's tough to say... the S4 got the 4.3 update before any other carrier surprisingly. Whether or not that was just a mad push to sell more Galaxy Gear I dunno, but perhaps their updates are starting to roll out quicker these days.

Perhaps. In my eyes all the carriers are all about the $$$$$.
On the other hand you would think Verizon wouldn't make such foolish decisions such as delaying the One for FIVE MONTHS. I bet they lost tons of money trying to sell their crappy Droid lineup and failing miserably. They also delayed the S4 by about a month behind other carriers. I really don't know what goes through their head honestly. Whatever it is, it's not intelligence...

For sure! I am not a dev so I respect anyone who works on our devices so I am def not being impatient just was joking a little...

justin (@jcase) is a great mobile security researcher and developer of many Android exploits, I've been followed his work for quite some time now. Although the tweet didn't say it was specifically for the HTC One, the thought of 4.4.2 being able to root is a HUGE step forward for those that are stuck on the OTA.

I sent mine directly to HTC. Most people seem to get theirs back with 4.3, but 4.4.2 is readily available now. I am hoping I get it back with 4.3. I did have S-OFF on 4.4.2, but I RUU'd back to stock 4.2.2 after hearing HTC denied the warranty claim on a user who was S-OFF.

I hope my next device that HTC is mailing out to me will not be on 4.4.2. The one I got that had the terrible purple/pink tint came as 4.2.2. Hopefully another exploit is found as 5 months on stock would be torture .

Does this mean S-off vulnerability as well or only root without S-off?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk 2

By itself it means root only. But once you have root that means firewater will then work for s-off, as temproot is what is failing for firewater on our bootloader.

Hey everyone, I am a complete Noob to the One and HTC devices in general (I've been using Nexus devices for a while) so please bear with me. I picked up a HTC One that should be here shortly and I was researching rooting and ROMs, which brought me here. It sounds like 4.4.2 cannot be rooted due to the new bootloader lock, but I came across two links that say that the One on 4.4.2 can be unlocked at HTCdev.com, and another that says the rumrummer tool now works. So I'm just looking for some clarification on what I can expect when the phone gets here. Do those methods work at all?

No at the moment no current method available works on 4.4.2. However a new exploit is set to be released in early august.

Don't wait to root. You may lose the opportunity. Root isn't guaranteed. Especially with every update.

Because the dev edition is just an international m8 with an unlocked bootloader. You can unlock the bootloader. As for the international version software/firmware. No.

I apologize if your question was serious. But, as the poster above stated, a developer edition isn't really anything special other than that it comes factory sim and bootloader unlocked. There's really no such thing as converting to a developer edition.

Actually if I can install the developer edition rom on Verizon M8 I will have no Verizon bloatware and it gets the fastest software updates directly from HTC.
Like my At&t M7 converted to Developer Edition received kitkat update 1 month before At&t released it.
Also Verizon rom has removed a few options such as switching between 2g/3g. It only has a switch between 3g/4g. I live in India where only a few states have 4G ang I dont have 4G in my region. But this is just an example.

I'm assuming you're speaking towards being able to receive the regular OTA's from HTC for the dev edition. While it should be possible to flash a stock dev edition rom, I can't say for certain whether you would actually be able to receive the OTA's.

The dev edition uses Sense. I can say that for sure because I have a dev edition. That being said, there still could be a conflict because of Verizon/CDMA since the dev edition is based on GSM.

To answer your question, no you can't. Even if you could, the real problem is that we don't have a way YET to root the AT&T Note Edge. We need to be able to root the device before you can add a different ROM.

Thank you, raynan. I started this thread here to TRY to get some attention on this issue. Is breaking the AT&T lockout THAT difficult? It seems the devs would rather work on other carrier versions of the Edge on AT&T's network.

The devs are currently working on both the Verizon and AT&T models for root as we speak. Since the S4 was released, Samsung has REALLY cracked down on this type of security for carriers. I don't think the S4 even has an unlocked bootloader and the S5 definitely doesn't. I had to wait for most of my contract until the S5 finally got root and I got it a few months after release. As soon as I have root, I plan on working on a debloated version of the stock ROM for our device like I did with the S5. :good:

By the time root is out for ATT the new Edge and Note will be out. I ended up trading my att edge for an unlocked tmobile one on craigslist. Works perfect.

4.4.4 can be temporary rooted, I rooted and I was on 5.0.1, I downgraded and rooted long enough to use some rooted apps, and now I'm enjoying 4.4.4, to me it is much smoother than lollipop, hopefully the devs will find a way to make root permanent, there is hope Att prisoners
