Guys!
We already patched aboot for two of your models.
If you want to get aboot patched for other models of LG Spirit send me the original aboot with the phone information.
I saw @walterfuster and @jorlando using unsafe methods to patch aboot. Please don't do that or flash those!
Models until now we patched:
(1) H440N
(2) H440AR

Hello @pvineeth97 ! It's been a while since last time I checked android development for this device. It is really nice know that the bootloader was finally unlocked!
I followed all links/threads/tips by @walterfuster, @Korelev and yours as well and managed to have working 4G in my model, H442F Dual Sim ("LG Volt 4G" here in Brazil) using H440AR aboot.
I was even writing a tutorial for Brazilian users, as there are almost no material explaining the steps in portuguese for "novice users", however, looking in this thread, I wonder if isn't better to talk to you before releasing this material. My Droid info report for this variant can be found in this post. If you believe it is necessary, I can provide my aboot backup.
Thanks!

Hi
I'm looking to root this device for my daughter to use with custom ROMs. There are conflicting methods and I cannot figure which would be the best.
AFIK, there are a few methods:
1 - Kingroot
2 - Aboot
3 - Unlocking bootloader before rooting - some say need to, others don't mention it at all
I need to make sure that I'm doing the safest method possible - I want to initially start with a simple root - no data loss, so that I can safely extract a few things from the phone and then look to ROM flashing
I'm not new to custom ROMs, but new to this device so any help/guides would be greatly appreciated

You can check the guides here on XDA. They are very clear. There are no conflicting methods. "Kingroot" is used for rooting the device. "aboot" is used for unlocking the bootloader. You need to root before unlocking the bootloader.

Thanks for replying. So, rooting first using Kingroot - I would be able to grab what I needed.
Does Kingroot need to remain on the device as a 3rd party app?
Then unlocking bootloader would result in data loss?
Some guides simply were not clear as to what order these things were.

are you on Lollipop?
If yes, you are ok. Just download Kingroot and voila.
If not, you'll have to downgrade first, by flashing a Lollipop kdz. How? By using LG Flash Tool 2014. Say bye bye to user data.
Ok, now you are rooted.
Let's go to unlock the bootloader:
Download aboot_v10f.bin from here:
https://yadi.sk/d/1Dw4_bod3EgUMU
and put it into root directory of internal memory, which should be /sdcard.
Download Terminal Emulator app from Playstore. Open it and type this:
su (for acquire su permissions)
and this:
dd if=/sdcard/aboot_v10f.bin of=dev/block/mmcblk05
Oh. you've unlocked your bootloader! Congratulations!
note1: unlocking your bootloader (last step) does nothing with data user. you won't lose anything.
note2: If your plan is stay on Lollipop, I highly recommend you follow this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-spirit/how-to/setcpu-tweaks-performance-battery-saving-t3217133
note3: If you don't like f*** Kinguser, you can replace it with SuperSU. Not any other way. Just follow this:

No way to root if you aren't on Lollipop first. So, you'll have to "downgrade".
How?
Flashing a Lollipop kdz by using LG Flash Tool 2014.
Yo can use what is contained in this post for that:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...t-h440ar-to-h440n-maybe-t3387044/post67044372
Pay attention in the 'software necessary' an the 'procedure' parts.
kdz link is dead?
I'll provide you an unbranded POL one by PM.

You cant. If you want TWRP and custom rom you have to downgrade to Kitkat to install it

Hi, first I own LG G3 D855 32gb with previously installed stock LL ANHD 8.3 rom with downgrading to KK rooting method. Today I decided to try fully root following guide from this threat given by @topet2k12001 and after clean installing LL 20H KDZ file I root it with no problem and then I decided to follow guide for installing bump¨d TWRP and aboot.img from KK witch I extracted from latest 10N KK version, only thing I did deferent is that for flashing TWRP and boot.img I used Flashify from playstore and for aboot.img I used Android terminal with commands in guide from this threat. After flashing all and turning off phone then turning it on to enter TWRP it work so I can state that TWRP is working fine, no more error, even I restore my backup (system and data) of rom ANHD 8.3 (LL) I used before this and all is working flawlessly with almost full lollipop rom except aboot.img (KK).
If you do bother to read clearly it requires you to flash the android bootloader which is a risky process since download mode function, bootloader and recovery all depend on it
If not done properly you will brick your phone. So please do not risk it and just downgrade it properly with LG Flash Tool, it will save you so much time.

Hi @itsbighead,
The "aboot.img" is the Bootloader (Android Bootloader).
The "sbl1.img" is the Secure Bootloader.
The "laf.img" is the Download Mode.
There are three (3) methods available in my thread:
1. "Kitkat Downgrade" method: this is the first method discovered/known to have custom recovery (TWRP) + root on LG G3 Android Lollipop
2. "No Downgrade" method: the reverse approach of the "Kitkat Downgrade" method
3. "Imageprep" method: it's nothing more than an automated script that combines the commands from the "No Downgrade" method. This is created to reduce the risk due to human error (typos, etc. when using the Terminal/Command Line)
The principle in the Kitkat Downgrade Method:
1. From a fully fresh/stock Kitkat, root the device
2. Install a "bump'd" (patched) custom recovery (TWRP)
3. Get a Lollipop Firmware and extract the following image files: system.img, modem.img, and boot.img
4. "Bump" (patch) the boot.img
5. Done
The principle in the No Downgrade Method:
1. From a fully fresh/stock Lollipop...
2. Get a Kitkat Firmware and extract the following image files: aboot.img, laf.img (some users nee to also download other image files like sbl1.img, rpm.img, tz.img, dbi.img, and persist.img)
3. Install a "bump'd" (patched) custom recovery (TWRP)
4. Get a Lollipop boot.img and "bump" (patch) it
5. Flash the "bump'd" boot.img, aboot.img, and laf.img
6. Done
The principle in the Imageprep Method:
1. Basically all the commands that need to be entered are automated in a script
2. Put the corresponding image files mentioned in the No Downgrade Method in the appropriate folders as per the instructions in Imageprep
3. Run the script
4. Done
So as you can see...either way, Kitkat Downgrade and No Downgrade have the same risks. The only difference is "which image files to flash", but essentially you are still flashing image files which, if done improperly, will definitely cause a "soft-brick". In any case, the problems are already anticipated and solutions already documented in the "Troubleshooting and Q&A" section of my thread.
EXTRA: as a matter of fact, it was one of your old posts that led me to understand all of these and therefore, led me to create a script. You are actually listed in the "Credits" section of my thread.

New Guide root+twrp for 5.0 by auto -scrpit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/d855-one-click-root-twrp-recovery-t3072767
Hi I was wondering if it would be possible to unlock my bootloader and install twrp because my sprint lg g3 is already rooted successfully. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a method aside from downgrading and I would like to feel safe in knowing that I have a backup. Installing a custom rom is in consideration also so you if you have any recommendations it'd be appreciated.
Thanks, Josh

Sorry to revive this thread. I was wondering that since I currently don't have the capability to unlock my bootloader, what steps would I need to take on my rooted ls990 to replace my stock messaging app with cm12's messaging app. Will it be compatible as I am running lollipop, and if there is a different build of the apk that doesn't need to be ran from the system and can be set as my default messing app please inform me.
Thanks in advance

Hello, I just got an LG G4 International version - H815 with software version v10d-EUR-XX.
What is the best method to root my device? So far I've found One-Click-Root, unlock.bin root and flashing tar.gz file.
Best method is still low effort root. You can found the links in here.

It's the only root method if you have a locked bootloader.
Well, you can either use an image someone else created, or make your own pre-rooted image using a script.

Hello everyone,
I have a rooted LG G4 H818P v10k and wanted to install a recovery tool such as twrp but after digging around a little, I noticed that my bootloader is locked and LG supports unlocking the bootloader of the H815 variants only.
The part thrat confuses me is, does having a rooted device imply an unlocked bootloader and if not how can I unlock my bootloader.
How did you root it?

your phone is locked for bootloader so no twrp yet.
for root you have use or someone a system.img already rooted. and replace it and phone is rooted as long as you in lollipop you can root.. so nope. you or someone just pushed the rooted . img into phone with commands. so no unlocked bootloader.

For LL you do not need an unlocked bootloader for rooting. For MM you need unlocking to root. The reason is that LL allows system modifications. MM not.

Sorry but that's wrong. There is TWRP available for his device. TWRP in FIsH.

It's all there - all you need is to 1). ensure that your current stock rom does not have an anti-rollback provision that would prevent you from downgrading from Marshmallow to Lollipop (LP). Use LGUP-NEW for the downgrade - it will throw up an error if the anti-rollback provision is in effect and 2). obtain a stock LP version for your exact phone model (and a pre-rooted version, if one is available).
I checked before I started rooting, but the software version off the pre rooted version is 10D
Mine is, 20h but I'm not sure what will it be if I downgrade to LP

You are on Marshmallow with 20h. Your software version will be 10D (Lollipop) if you use that pre-rooted kdz. It will work if it's for your exact phone model ... However ...see if you can find a 10n or higher version. The 'h' LP version for some models do not have the latest stagefright vulnerability patch, 'n' versions and higher do. You can use the Stagefright Detector app (free on Play Store) to check if the kdz you choose has the latest patch
Will it effect if I get the same model but different software version?
I tested it and it said it's not vulnerable

Other than having the latest security patches and any added upgrades to the firmware, it shouldn't.
O.k. cool
But I had a problem finding a 10c kdz for my device
Do you know how to get one?
I need it cuz if I get a 10D or later, my phone won't accept to flash the root

When you use TWRP-in-FISH, does it actually install TWRP?

Looking for the best available root for the lg g4 marshmallow international version, even a 1 click method
If you searched you'll realise there's no root for locked bootloader G4s on MM.

He said international dude... The H815 which has unlocked boot loader. Very useful reply. But I too need to know the best method.

What? H815SEA and H815EU are both international variants but only H815EU can be unlocked.
The best method is to flash boot.img unpacked from the custom kernel like SimpleGX via fastboot that will allow you to further flash TWRP in which you'll flash full kernel package to avoid software problems and lastly SuperSU
the method i followed was-
1. boot into twrp recovery with adb command(you need to have the twrp.img file in PC and also copy it in internal memory of your phone with SU)
2. flash systemless root with twrp
3. reboot
4. install flashify
5.flash twrp.img from your phone.
6. done
but there aren't as much benefits of rooting as any other phone. viper4android doesn't work. spirit fm doesn't work. xposed doesn't work properly.(these 3 were the main reasons for which i rooted)
Hello guys! I need some guidance from an Android guru.
My phone is an LG K10 4G (LG-K420N). It's running 5.1.1, kernel version is 3.10.49, rooted by KingRoot. I want to install Xposed but doing this requires flashing a .zip file and that's where I'm bumping into walls. CWM and TWRP does not support my phone's model so I can't do the custom recovery method the easy way. What are my other options? My main problem is that most guides just point me to the custom recovery method or are completely obsolete from a few years ago and filtering this kind of model specific information is kinda hard.
I've seen on the forum there is some workaround for the K430xx models with MTK chipsets but I'm unsure it would work on mine, and I not really want to brick my device. The K10 model numbers are pretty confuing in the different regions...
So can you advise anything? Is there an up to date method to do this on PC?
I appreciate any bit of info, you are welcome to go into details, I'm not an IT moron I just avoided smartphones so far.

YOU MUST DOWNLOAD SDK22 FOR K420N
K430xx stuff don't work on your device. Yours is Qcomm and ours is MTK

Hey, thanks for the reply, yeah I got the sdk22 already, what I need is a way flash it onto my LG-K420N device. Probably something other than custom recovery as my device is not supported by CWM or TWRP. I tried to root it with KingRoot 4.1 then swap it with superSU so I could flash with FlashFire but it softbricked my phone and I had to reinstall the firmware with LG Bridge. So I'm still looking for a proper up to date flashing method.

Thanks for the reply, yeah I absolutely suspected this. Do you have any advice how to flash the sdk22 onto my device? Any info would be helpful. I was also unable to find the required dll for the LGUP tool.

What do you mean with sdk22? And once again what do you mean with required dll for the LGUP tool? If you want to flash firmware on your device, follow my this guide.

I used you guide to unbrick my phone What I mean is, I have the Xposed Installer on my device, but I was unable to install the Xposed framework as the two most popular custom recovery methods do not support my device (CWM and TWRP). I need to install xposed-v67-sdk22-arm-by-romracer-20150716.zip and most of the guides I find are out of date and soft-brick my phone.

I don't have any idea. I don't own your device and never used it. Eve I didn't take it on my hands.
And, you could flash the required framework of Xposed with FlashFire?
