Hello Verizon V30 Users,
I am providing the full KDZ file for the Verizon V30 software version 10C, the latest available for the VS996.
You can download it from HERE!
Coming from the V10, I've noticed the KDZ for the Verizon V30 is almost 3.5 GB, compared to just over 2 GB with the V10.
>> NEW DLL FILE REQUIRED TO FLASH!! <<
You must use LGUP to flash this. If you haven't upgraded your DLL file for LGUP, inside this same archive, you'll find a dll file named LGUP_Common.dll. Place that DLL file in C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common. Just as a precaution, change the extension of the existing LGUP_Common.dll to .bak or something in case this doesn't work for you. After you put the new DLL file in that folder, open LGUP and in the very lower left hand corner of the window, you should see DLL Version 1.0.31.9.
Enjoy! If anyone has any questions, feel free to hit me up!
Reserved
And again.
Perfect! I was thinking about buying the V30 but was worried I couldn't dev on it as there was nothing to go back to. Thank You.

As of right now just internals.
Sounds, Bloatware, Boot Animations... right now until I can get my computer back up and running...
Once I get my machine back up and running I will be doing audio mods and deeper customizations...
We also need to get root!
I'm going to experiment on it now that we can revert back!

There are rumors someone cracked the bootloader and rooted a Verizon LG G6, but for their own reason chose not to publish the method. Knowing the person who told me, I have no reason to doubt it. But, no, I don't know how they did it, as I am not a dev.
This of course leads to a bunch of questions. Is it possible some of the 2017 LG flagship (G6, V30) carrier models have ADB flash commands if you can get past the bootloader? We know the T-mobile LG G6 and LG V30 do not, because the bootloader is easily unlocked and they are ADB crippled. We just assumed all the other carrier modes were the same way, because no one has cracked the bootloader and published the results.
Or this person cracked the bootloader and found some other way to root. They didn't go any further than that, but they did unlock the bootloader and root a Verizon LG G6.

That link above discusses it more, but other than that I'm not interested in "proving" anything. I'm not the dev, and he can release what he wants to release. I encourage everyone to buy the "open market" version of the LG V30. That will have guaranteed root, TWRP, ROMs, kernels, etc.
If you want to read where I got it from, read back through my posts. It was discussed in open thread about three weeks ago.
The only reason I'm mentioning it here is it might be relevant to the LG V30, to let people know a carrier branded LG G6 was bootloader unlocked and rooted. If one person can do it, others can.

Dirty Santa exploit cracked the bootloader of the V20 (December 2016). And here (June 2017).
DirtySanta Exploit Unlocks the Bootloader of the LG V20 H990 -- XDA article, June 2017
And the 2016 V20 still had all the ADB flash commands. So, once past the bootloader, you had free reign. That has changed with the 2017 LG flagships, where LG has removed most of the ADB flash commands.
Even this LG V20 method, in a thread started END of August 2017 has as a first step -- RUN Dirty Santa! Even though Dirty Santa/Dirty Cow exploit was now patched, you can swap out modules in the phone, so it will then still run. So, I do not know of any LG V20 that were rooted where the bootloader was not first unlocked -- even if you are replacing out modules with "Engineering" modules or whatever to allow Dirty Santa to still run. If you have other information to the contrary, I would be interested in hearing it.
Now back during the LG G2 and LG G3 era you could root and install TWRP without unlocking the bootloader, but that was back when signed packages were not required.

I'm not a developer, but I research a lot and I have knowledgeable people tell me stuff.
I keep up with LG phones, and I know V20 bootloader was unlocked by Dirty Santa exploit. Which was why I corrected the misinformation that the V20 was rooted without unlocking the bootloader.
Maybe there's another method of rooting V20 of which I'm unaware, but in V20 forum all I see are the links I posted above - which all involve unlocking the bootloader.
But the v30 is too new to have a dirty santa version anyway. And no adb commands.
Unless this makes it on to the lg list for unlocking I dont think it will happen.

Theoretically (meaning I take no responsibility for what might/might not happen, and of course have not seen confirmation of this working except over Lollipop)...yes you could root with the low effort root if you're on M.
All you're doing is flashing a rooted Lollipop image over the stock one, so yeah you'd be going back to Lollipop but yeah you'd also be rooted. It's a downgrade but I suppose it would do for the time being if you really wanted root and for some reason took the M upgrade without wanting to.

I don't think the Lollipop image would work. Root would need to be injected into a M image.
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk
The reason he was being sarcastic is because there is no way to know if we can root M until it actually comes out. It's like asking if the LG G5 will be rootable, no way to know until it's out.

I tend to agree, I was just saying in theory it would work...
People used to downgrade from LP to KK with pre-rooted images.
But yeah the 100% surefire answer at this point is who freakin knows. I'm sure a root will come along eventually, just gotta give the developers some time.
In all seriousness it most likely will not work. Android M will almost certainly come with upgraded boot.img, etc and most new phones with locked bootloaders are preventing downgrading and/or preventing of unsigned images so its quite likely we will not be able to downgrade. This is my first locked LG device so I could be wrong about the G4.
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk
Yea no one really knows. Lollipop really made rooting complicated. Phones like the G2 and G3 were able to use older partition firmwares that were still rootable but required KitKat parts. With the G4 having stock lollipop, it was more complicated.
I suspect that we will always be able to root similarly how we did already. The USB>COM>flash a custom rooted system image should still be an option. This method is how the LG updater tool works. If they block access to that, then everything will break.
I have faith that we will be ok but like everyone said above, we won't know until it is released.

If that bootloader is unlocked and the good ol' legendary Chain man has a nice, sweet, hot binary in SuperSU to shove up that there thang. Then, I don't see why not. You can root through TWRP or whatever custom recovery you choose to use to overwrite the partition when you're boot scootin' boogied.
Google is really trying to lock their OS down. They make it harder to root, and now Android Pay won't work on rooted phones and they have an API for developers now to restrict or prevent use if the OS is modified.
This is a stupid question that's why it was answered sarcatically. Its a new version, so when root is out it would be posted or if someone tries the old root and it worked they would post it. Otherwise you would ask if anyone is working on the root. You basically asked if a new phone coming out if it will be rootable.
Also why are people asking tmobile questions in a verizon thread.
No root possible on verizon MM. They plugged the hole so we are no longer able to pull and push the rooted system images like we were.
The V10 is facing a similar issue and they've been at it longer. So until then, I just disabled the System Update app in settings.

I am certain my G4 is TWN, from the box and the software version. But what are the actual differences to the European H815? Specifically, can I flash European KDZs or use the EU command for flashing a rooted /system image?
Code:
dd if=/data/media/0/system.rooted.H81510c-EU.img bs=8192 seek=55296 count=529920 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
Thanks
I have a the TWN version too damn it. - that's what happens when you buy from a global vendor over the internet .
Good news is that you can flash the EU rooted system image. I did and it worked fine.
Bad news is that you can't unlock the boot loader (yet), which means no TWRP or custom roms and flashing a stock Marshmallow leaves you without root and no way to downgrade.
Cheers
BTW I don't know of any differences between the EU and TWN devices other than the version coding - to me it just seems to be a way for LG to control their different markets.
Thank you for this. I do not want to unlock it just yet, since I bought it from a local vendor and I have a 2 year warranty with them. I see there is already a rooted image for v10d TWN, so I will flash that soon (are you sure the parameters for the dd command are the same?).
Sidenote, it would be nice if we could compile our own KDZs and make rooted ones.

I can't really comment on the all the parameters in that command string except to say that it's one I used and it worked well. Whether those numbers would need to be modified for the 10D image or not I can't say - I would suggest you ask the author of that original rooting thread.
BTW you can't unlock the bootloader on the TWN version just now in any case. I tried the official method over the weekend and was told the TWN version was not supported. There's unofficial unlock method available for any G4 variant yet either but people are working on it.

Probably the parameters aren't different between firmware images, because they depend on the partition table of the device.

I did the same thing, buying online and getting stuck with TWN. I came from a GS6 and was thinking "I'll wack an AOSP ROM on the G4 and I'll have the perfect phone". Now I'll probably never buy another LG even though I actually like the G4 but when we pay close to $1k for a phone we should be able to do what we like with it!

ALSO there is no sure way back to L is you decide you can't live without root (I certainly couldn't so I'm waiting for further developments). I think I read that someone here more-or-less accidentally managed to recover back to L but I didn't really have time to take in all the details so futher reading needed if you want to take the risk.

According to this thread. A way has finally been found to flash V30's and other LG devices without a check for the RSA keys. The post and thread can be found here, where it is mentioned that...
runningnak3d said:
You guys aren't going to believe this shiz. I just flashed TWRP onto my H918 by total accident.
I was trying to solve the MISC WRTE / COPY (copy2 flashing), and I needed a test file descriptor. I knew that indirect flashing -- RSVD IDDD opens /data/idt.cfg for writing. I wanted ANYTHING except my onboard storage so I didn't brick my phone. When I went to make sure that idt.cfg was in write mode, I MEANT to type lsof (list open files), but what I typed was ls-f, and I got file not found. Then I typed dmesg to try and find out what just happened, and I didn't get anything. So then I typed ls-f again, and this time I got dmesg not found.
So I figured I would try passing some things as the payload: RSVD IDDD /system/bin/sh
ls-f did nothing. So I thought it was running a shell and exiting. Nope.
Finally figured out that what it was looking for was an update file. So.... RSVD IDDD /storage/external_SD/SoftwareUpdate/update.zip
and....
Code:
[LAF] Start flashing HW user partition 0
[LAF] success to close handle to flash driver
[LAF] flashing done.
Turns out that download mode doesn't verify the integrity of update.zip when it is called via indirect flashing. As in it doesn't check to see that it was signed with the keys that are usually in /res
Root is for real coming soon...
Oh, the best part, this is available in ALL current versions of lafd on any and every LG model.

This is great news but if what Brian has said here is true (which it most likely is) then OP should maybe change the title or include this. Still really good news for H932 tho!
What really sucks is that abl is encrypted on the V30, so I have zero chance of unlocking it on models besides the H932. The G6, V20, and G5 I will probably be able to unlock their boot loaders without an engineering aboot.
Things are only going to get worse with the SD845. The entire TrustZone will be in QFPROM. Root will very likely be a thing of the past except on developer friendly phones.

The bootloader is unlockable on the H933 as well. It's basically very similar to the T-Mobile situation. I didn't realize it was restricted to only models where it was already possible to unlock the bootloader.

What really sucks is that abl is encrypted on the V30, so I have zero chance of unlocking it on models besides the H932. The G6, V20, and G5 I will probably be able to unlock their boot loaders without an engineering aboot.
Things are only going to get worse with the SD845. The entire TrustZone will be in QFPROM. Root will very likely be a thing of the past except on developer friendly phones.

Confirmed the H933 has bootloader unlock? You've done it?
The only other guy who posted about it here had no credibility. He said he lot of nonsense and never would provide any proof. If you say so, OK.

I haven't tried it but I am willing to. I back up my texts regularly and that is pretty much all I care about backing up, but I could also make one of those LG backups. I'm not sure what that all backs up though.

I've been digging into LG backups, but that's a side story. It backs up everything like apps/apps data and yes, texts
It will not, however, back up SuperSu ?

If that makes it easy to get the phone back to the way it is then after being bootloader unlocked. That pretty much makes it painless. I will run the backup tonight and either attempt the unlock tonight or at some point tomorrow.

It actually does. It even backs up your system settings. Pretty nice

Man, I will be waiting for your results. This will be a total game changer for my use and perspective on this device.
Best prospect I've heard in months!

I don't suppose this would allow for flashing TWRP without voiding the warranty on an unlocked US998?
Has anyone tried unlocking a T-Mobile g7 bootloader from the developer options? I've turned on developer options and OEM unlock option is in there but I haven't connected it to pc to check with ADB.
only the EU bootloader has been unlocked, something to do with TMO releasing some keys or something for the secuity, I believe. I know on HTCs I used to have TMO had certain encryption on wifi calling and a few signatures that were broken by touching the security partition needed to gain root and install custom OSs. Once LG updates their bootloader unlock page to include TMO version G7 (I have one, too) then we'll see a KDZ thread and then root

Root is unlikely on the T-Mobile variant due to T-Mobile using different RSA Encryption keys compared to every other carrier, also the development for this phone is basically one guy. I hope I'm wrong about it being unlikely but from what I've been reading and what I've been told it's a slim chance it's going to happen

Thanks for the update, I guess if there's not root by November its time to switch to the OnePlus 6T.

I think the 6T is going to be on TMobile if that's the case I shall be doing the same, I do love this phone don't get me wrong but I've always wanted a one plus device and having root again would be great as well
that one guy is checking the bootloader again and trying to help us ive been taking to him hope he's right about them locking it the same way give it a little time he thought bootloader was unlocked he doesn't have the device there's others we can't give up man adb root is possible prob hacking laf maybe possible and there's a way someone will get it anyone trying to I'll also help to

Tell me something. What's the real use for root now-a-days? My z2 force is rooted and is super buggy. Hardly any Xposed apps are even working anymore. This phone is super solid and reliable. It's also a lot further ahead than the one+ 6T will be.

Honestly I just want it for viper4android literally that's it and maybe greenify and adaway other than that I'm good.
Honestly I probably won't switch over I'll just deal with it

Greenify was the biggie to me particularly with the Xposed module. Titanium Backup. Disabling system apps that the UI wouldn't let me disable. (Maybe that can be done via adb w/o root. I should try.) BootManager. MinMinGuard. Worthwhile system-wide font replacement w/o bloat. (No apps, no junk, no "apps that don't support <thing> or <favorite font>", just replacing files in /system/fonts.)
Lots of other little things that -- added together -- made my phone just that much nicer to me.
I'm really happy with my G7 all around (except for the WiFi stability, that still sucks). I just wish I had all those little tweaks back.
I made a post about a week ago but never got any replies. Has anyone else ran the "fastboot flash unlock_critical" command? My phone restarts and shows the erasing screen but no actual bootloader unlock.
Any updates?
I'll try out when I make it back home sorry was flooded here we either need to mod kernel or laf aand github has a repo on some I'm checking on I'll be able to check more sorry and package disable pro will freeze apps or use autoprimes way on rooted you can use twrp file manager to delete system apps on moto z2 oem can't be touched but there's ways
the aristo 2 has different commands has anyone tried that way and we still need a twrp to flash their is thread about making one we can get somewhere this would be a great phone with root without it sucks

There is an option for the T-Mobile version. Can someone actually try continuing with the progress?
I can't since I don't have the T-Mobile version.
LGM710TM is LG G7 from Italian provider TIM.
It has nothing to do with T-Mobile.

There's been petitions for like every locked-down LG device since the beginning of time. Never has it been effective, never will it be. LG doesn't reverse its bootloader locking policy.
I have read something about a new root method.
Is there anyone tried to use this method?
Can it work on our Lg V30?

1) NO, probably won't work on our V30. Runs on Lollipop, and here's no custom Recovery. Most V30 are up to stock Pie.
2) No we don't need and and don't want it.
Every V30 on the planet can be Bootloader unlocked and rooted.
Why would you need another way to root?

* It probably won't work and even if it does...
* you probably won't have DTS Surround Sound nor LG camera fixes which both came with later Oreo.
It's up to you, your phone.
If you do really want a root access without losing warranty or bootloader unlock counter goes up. There are plenty virtualization apps which emulates root access, or even xposed system without altering your actual system. I saw on YouTube, someone using that to cheat pubg mobile. You can find that by these keywords: "pubgm cheat no root" or "pubgm cheat virtual"
There's no root option in my phone
What should I do?
(Yes I've turned on my developer options.)

With REAL root available for ALL V30 variants since mid-2018, I confess I don't really understand why this thread was even started in October 2019 (over a year later) -- or the discussion is still ongoing now almost 2020...
Before mid-2018 only those V30 variants (H930, H930G, secretly Open Market US998 -- but only the 64GB variant) approved by LG could have bootloader unlock code and thus root, but thanks to people here on XDA, ALL V30 can have root. We don't need some "fake" gimmick like this. Maybe for other phones something like this is OK, but all V30 variants can actually be bootloader unlocked and rooted.
