Friends !
I wanted to rip off some LG Software ( eg. Weather, Calender, Health etc) and ALL Google
Software from my KDZ File and flash this modified KDZ then onto my G4.
I´ve tested out some Custom Roms like LineageOS, Resurection and some other, all Google Free but they all drain out my Batterie fast or has some other issues.
The best working Rom for me is the Original V20g.
My G4 is rooted with Magisk. In TWRP i used GKillerExtreme.zip to eliminate all Google Stuff but after cleaning there are some Google Apps still on the Phone and can´t delete them.
So my Idea is to modify my KDZ file before flashing on the Phone.
------------------------------
I followed these Post to extract all Files from the KDZ:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666967
After extracting the *.dz file also i have a lot of *.bin files now.
So, how to working on with these *.bin Files now, how to open them, delete some Files are contained in the *.bin File and rebuild a flashable File?
Maybe there is a existing workaround here on XDA ?
Thank you all for a little Help.

Don't know how you would rebuild it - I guess you would need to use a twrp script to flash them onto the partitions
As for modifying them, depends on the bin file. For system, you can mount it on Linux to a folder
E.g.
Code:
mkdir ./extractedSystem
sudo mount ./system.bin ./extractedSystem
Then you can access it through that folder. When you are done...
Code:
sudo umount ./extractedSystem
Extract: SALT
Mount: SALT (Advanced menu)
Flash: SALT (v4)
Ah yea and btw: you can't create your own kdz. Well you can but you can't flash it as it must be signed.

Thank you very much. To mount a bin file as a Drive in Linux (FWUL ) is the Key. All other steps i will find in the next Days. Thx again.

when you use FWUL SALT is included
the flashing part of SALT is still in beta testing state thats why v4 is not (public) available yet ..

Hey.
Doesnt work for me. Getting error in Terminal.
Mount: /home/android/extractedSystem: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
So, im not so involved into Linux and have no idea whats wrong. Ive test with all .bin files but the error message pops up on every.bin file
My FWUL version is 2.7, the 8GB version on USB Stick.
Im pretty sure i did something wrong :angel:
Greetings

Hey. My little response....
I did it and ripped off most of all the Bloatwares. Google is complete out off my Phone now and don't wont it back. It was a very hard and long process to eliminate all the Stuff. Alot of failures was coming up, alot of new image installings and start again over because i delered some Mainfeatures or essential Routines etc. OMG i don't want do this again in my life lol.
So its better to flash a google free Rom.
Okay, only my little response for this thread and Big Thanks to Steadyfast for the last Supports !

As you know, we got a Chinese froyo rom for DEFY but it's degoogled. I'm tring to add google services for that.
My plan is unpack SBF file and add mdpi-gapps then pack again.
Now, I've already unpacked the SBF file sucessful and got the CG39.smg. but I strucked on unpacking the CG39.smg, unyaffs.exe doesn't work on my windows7. I need help or anybody can run unyaffs on your Linux surounding?

unyaffs works ok for me on windows 7 - how are you using unyaffs, are you aware it need to be run in a cmd line? If so are you x86 OR x64.
@gavinta, i've a 64-bit linux installed, if you tell me what to do i will help you.

Thanks. Here's my steps:
1. Download 2.2ROM from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895448
2. Download unyaffs.exe from this page: http://jiggawatt.org/badc0de/android/index.html
3. Download MotoAndroidDepacker.exe from http://modmymoto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=530781
4. Use MotoAndroidDepacker.exe unpack 2.2 sbf file, then you got CG39.smg
5. Unpack CG39.smg by unyaffs.exe, you should get /system folder if everything goes well, then just delete or add anything you want and pack a new SBF at last.
For more support of unyaffs, please visit http://code.google.com/p/unyaffs/
Yes, I did that in the CMD line which running as administrator. But it always shows "stop working"
Would it be possible to flash new/recompiled boot.img/system.img via recovery then?
Or partitions with digital signatures should be also updated?
i#m downloading the files, but it will need some hours; very slow line.

Yes, it's okay. I've flashed a recompiled froyo sbf with a old CG39 which from 2.21UK sbf successful, of course this rom cannot running but it's a good start. Next, we need to unpack the CG39 and modify that.

I put up a mirror for the rom here, 30mbit upload in Denmark:
Http://www.sorensiim.dk/stuff/defy/Defy_2_2_CN.zip
Let me know if you guys need hosting for project files or roms, we need to get rooted froyo for the Defy!
the depacker didn't work here. sorry. don't know why.
I just had an idea... I wonder if you could extract the froyo Dialer app and add it to the 2.34.1 rom.
Well, there's only one way to find out.
unyaffs never worked for me with CG39. I've tried that when I first got the phone. My guess is that it's not pure yaffs filesystem image, or that the unyaffs code it's buggy. I've tried modifing it prior to compliling, but all I got was different errors, from Stack Overflows to program hardcoded messages like the filesystem was not properly built.

Yes, I have same result. Fortunately， we got the gapp update packge from MOTO, so every google services run well on Chinese Froyo now, you should try it.
Is it possible to use this froyo kernel in an AOSP froyo build?

Cannot get in to HW reset mode on L-01F
Hi,
I rooted the phone and installed CWM and took the OTA update which got me stuck in CWM. I managed to get out of it by flashing the zip I shared here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576134). This has wiped out CWM completely from the phone and has left me unrooted which is fine.
The problem now is I cannot get in to HW reset mode by holding the vol down and power button,or both buttons.This does not do anything for my device. It just goes to load Android or reboots if I hold the power button straight through. Is the stock recovery toast? I cannot seem to flash another recovery either...
I want to go back to stock recovery to take the OTA update. What should I do at this stage. Can anyone/Supersonicninja help? Im in Tokyo. Happy to buy a few rounds to anyone who get me out of this mess. Thanks!

Still no joy.... Im afraid to flash anything now. If I do will it brick my phone?
You can also try to press and hold volume down while plugging your phone to the computer to get into download mode And the go back to stock. If you don't know how here is a tip Google your (LG g2 flash tool with your model number) to go back to factory stock firmware, or You may use adb now you don't flash anything unless you know how to use adb that way you are not in this mess again. With that being said lets go back to the file if you have any questions post it the Q tread not here.

[OBSOLETE THREAD]
This thread is obsolete. A solution was found, which is posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/method-to-root-lg-g4s-model-h735-lg-g4-t3248030
Please use the new thread for discussions.
------------------------
Original thread:
------------------------
Hi,
I have been trying to root the LG G4S (H735), also known as "LG G4 Beat".
I tried two things:
Approach 1
I tried the method posted by konsolen in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4s-world-root-lg-devices-t3231759
but it didn't work for me. I tried several times with varying approaches, but the boot process always gets stuck on the LG logo.
Approach 2
I also tried to inject the root as suggested in this thread for the G4:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/rooting-lg-h735-g4-beat-t3192491
I've used the Inject_Root_G4.zip from this link, which I believe is the same shared elsewhere:
https://mega.nz/#!BIxUzbqI!nt2YnGnGQlSiBQ-Ar-c-q7oDMIEsg6xd0Kmek-q0clg
And I get the same problem - stuck on the LG logo when booting.
For anyone who wants to reproduce Approach 2 to maybe find a solution:
1. Start up LGFlashTool2014. You can follow instructions in thread by konsolen (see Approach 1 above). You can use his .kdz file as well. Important: Pull out your USB cable as soon as the green letters COMX (with a number instead of X) appear on the phone. My flashtool actually didn't display the progress percentage, but apparently this at 9%. It doesn't matter if you don't see the percentage though, I've verified with this KDZ image that if you pull the cable at the very moment the green letters appear, nothing is corrupted. The phone will still display 0%. Leave it as it is after you unplugged the cable.
2. Kill your flash tool with the windows task manager. After it closed, you can plug the phone back in and open a windows command line in the folder where your Send_Command.exe is (you can download the package in konsolen's instructions which contains Send_Command.exe as well).
3. Open the console to your phone with
Code:
Send_Command.exe \\.\COMX.
(with your number instead of X)
You will have to do steps 1-3 every time you want to get this console, for example to run all the dd commands below.
4. Calculate the dd parameters and backup your system partition into a .img file. There is an excellent guide by dominik-p for how to determine your individual dd parameters:

5. Keep a copy of your system.img somewhere safe, you can use it to restore your system if something goes wrong. So don't use this original in the next steps!
6. Copy the .img file to a linux system and mount it. I'm guessing who is trying this knows how to do this. Anything you change in the folder you mounted the image on, will be saved in the image. You can then use this updated image to overwrite your original system partition, again with dd (as described in the thread by dominik-p) using your parameters. So here's the crucial bit: You get root access to your system files via linux. When you know the right things to mess with, you can root your phone with the updated image. Injecting the root as done in step 8 is one way to change the system on the G4 in order to root it.
7. [Optional] If you are new to this, you may want to do a simple test before you continue.
Create a testfile (test.txt) on the mounted system partition. Then copy the .img file back to your phone and try to "dd" it back over your system partition.
Then, check if you see the test file on your system partition -- you may have to reboot the phone after the dd command (and log back in with Send_Command.exe) in order to see the updates.
8. Inject root with the Inject_Root_G4.zip on the mounted folder of the image on your linux system. You can follow instructions (Step 2) here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
9. Copy the new img file to your phone and "dd" it over your system partition, using your own dd parameters.
10. Reboot the phone (you can also just type LEAVE in the Send_Command.exe console).
Now, it should be rooted - if it worked for you!
If it worked for you, that's great. It didn't for me, it got stuck on the LG logo in the boot process again. So I had to write my original system.img back onto my system partition to get the phone back.
I did get the following errors in Step 8 above, though I did try anyway to use the resulting image. The errors may have something to do with my problem, but it may also be because the inject root is for the G4, not the G4s.
Code:
sudo ./autoroot.sh
cp: cannot create regular file ‘operatingtable/lib64/libsupol.so’: No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access ‘operatingtable/lib64/libsupol.so’: No such file or directory
chcon: cannot access ‘operatingtable/lib64/libsupol.so’: No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access ‘operatingtable/bin/app_process64_original’: No such file or directory
chcon: cannot access ‘operatingtable/bin/app_process64_original’: No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access ‘operatingtable/bin/app_process_init’: No such file or directory
chcon: cannot access ‘operatingtable/bin/app_process_init’: No such file or directory
If anyone finds a solution to this, or has any ideas what could be tried, I would be very interested to hear it. I'm new to rooting phones and don't have much experience beyond what I did in the last days.

4. Calculate the dd parameters and backup your system partition into a .img file. There is an excellent guide by @dominik-p for how to determine your individual dd parameters:

Happy that my guide has helped you
As I said here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/rooting-lg-h735-g4-beat-t3192491/page5
Everyone who is interested to inject root must edit the autoroot.sh from the inject.zip and use the correct files from SuperSU
More information about the files:
https://su.chainfire.eu
Maybe you have to use other files. Not the files from the inject.zip
Download the Update-SuperSU zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Copy the files you need to the "su" folder of the extracted inject.zip
For information which files are needed read the "update-binary" file from the SuperSU zip.
(located here META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary)
Good luck everyone :good:
Thanks again for the links! I'll try again soon, when I get time for it, and report the results here
By the way, here's the ls -lR of my system.
Ok, no problem, take your time.
I've got also lot of other work to do...
I just read your system.txt (thanks)
According to these lines:
Code:
lrwxr-xr-x. 1 root 2000 13 Aug 24 02:05 app_process -> app_process32
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root 2000 13588 Aug 24 02:05 app_process32
It seems that the firmware is 32 bit.
More info about your firmware is in /system/build.prop
So you have to take the right lines from update-binary and copy them and edit the autoroot.sh
Please don't ask me which lines. It's a bit difficult... (you have to understand the logic in update-binary)
Then copy the files from the right folder (arm?) to the "su" folder.
Sorry. I'm out now here for the next time. I have a H815 and happy with it.
I think you will find the solution. :good:
Custom Recoverys
Hi All
Are there any custom recovery's for the G4 beat/G4s
Thanks
Thanks dominik-p for your help. Good luck with your other work, don't worry I won't distract you with asking questions You already helped a lot.
benji5688, you can check for official firmware (.kdz file) on this link, pasting your IMEI instead of YOUR-IMEI in the link below.
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=YOUR-IMEI
I did not find any for mine there, but I did find it on
http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/
Which brought me to this link where I could find mine:
http://pkg02.azure.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW703UV132GQAUP7A0ED99N/H73510c_00.kdz
but you should look for your specific model.

Hi,
I have been trying to root the LG G4S (H735), also known as "LG G4 Beat".
I tried two things:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
LOL
I did the exact same thing as you, and really the EXACT, I also contacted dominik-p for the same problem you got with the bs. LOL
Was about to do the same thing you did here too just told that to dominik-p lol.
You post is great, well detailled. Hope someone found something
But got something different. my phone is the LGH731 LG G4 Vigor from Videotron in Canada.
If someone need files or system.img LINK
That's not the exact same thing as the post owner but i'm pretty sure the root method will be. (DON'T use this system.img to inject in you H735) it's from a H731 and they don't have the same partition size.
Ha, that's funny, and you got the same problem of course (frozen logo boot).
We will find a solution. It's just a matter of time. I'm a bit pressed for work in the next days but I'll get back into it around mid week. I think the main problem was, as I suspected and also as dominik-p pointed out, we've been using the wrong inject files. And the G4s is 32 bit so obviously it won't work with 64 bit libs.
First thing I'll try is using the other files from the link dominik-p shared. I'll also read the guide and try to understand which files need to be changed to gain root access in general, i.e. learn the basics of how to root. Then I think/hope I'll be able to fix this. And finally get to move all my stuff onto SD and get my storage back
Meanwhile, if you get any new results, let me know.
Cheers

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's the stock ROM. It can be used for recovery, depending what your problem is. If you destroyed your ROM by trying to root, you can recover with this.
If you mess with something in your system partition (where the Android OS is installed), you'd need a copy of your individual system partition (like a "backup") to restore. This highly depends on your phone/version, so you have to do this backup yourself. You can follow the instructions with the dd parameters, linked to from the main thread.

No the problem is really just changing the 64 bits command to make then use the 32 bits ones
I manage everything except this one
Code:
chcon --reference=operatingtable/bin/app_process32 operatingtable/bin/app_process64_original
I agree with xsteacy, this will most likely not work, that's why we opened this discussion
We just have to find the right files to use (instead of the 64 bit ones).
I will get back onto the subject by Wednesday when I have time.
I solved it! My phone is rooted
I asked someone to test my script before I post the results. Hang on there, tomorrow I'll post the solution.
Good times!

0.0 OH!?
Ok I'm putting it out there for others to test as well.
Please report if it worked so I can take this into account before updating the main thread instructions.
In the attached .zip file there is a README with instructions.
Note: Thanks goes to @konsolen who shared instructions on how to open the COM port on the H735.
The script in konsolens post is essentially the upater-binary script of the SuperSU package, but with a few modifications.
That may have been necessary on konsolens phone, but it didn't work on mine. For me, using the original script worked.
However, the zip file has to be extracted manually with busybox before the updater-binary script is started. I am not
sure if busybox absolutely needs to be in the /sbin folder, but that's where I saw elsewhere that it belonged, so
I moved it over there in my script. I haven't tested this with busybox being elsewhere.
Thanks goes also to @dominik-p for sharing the link to excellent documentation and for his instructions on how
to make a backup (with dd) of your system, in case anything goes wrong.
UPDATE: I did all commands in root_lgh375.sh manually when I found it already worked, so please report if all is good with the script, but I think it should be, it only does what I did manually.
Congratulations @jen.magnolis
Well done
Hello, as some of you may already know, we can't flash MM kdz on our LG Spirit using LG Flash Tool, so we have to use LG UP, a method which is also used by LG G4c owners. I drew the idea from them, since G4c and Spirit are practically the same devices. I've modified a script from G4c, all credits go to @bender_007.
So here are the steps:
1. Make sure you have USB drivers installed.
2. Download and install LG UP: http://www.filedropper.com/g4 ---- First install LGUP_8994_DLL_Ver_0_0_3_23, then LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3.
3. Download the script that makes LG UP recognize our device as H440n(Courtesy of @bender_007, I only modified small parts of it). Link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lbxdwloffi75qqg/AABfz5e9AIiSxipsnZQIiikGa?dl=0 (Download as zip)
4. Extract the zip and run h440n.bat
5. Connect your Spirit in MTP mode.
6. Run LG UP and wait for it to load.
7. Leave all settings as they are.
8. Under file path, browse to the kdz file you downloaded. NOTE: It won't show in the directory it is in, because the browse window sees only .tot files, so you have to manually type in the KDZ name in the text field and select it that way.
9. Click Start
10. Wait
11. ???
12. Profit! Enjoy your LG Spirit running Marshmallow!
Thanks, I had to manually copy the dll in the LGUP folder, dunno if it's my fault, or script's fault though.
EDIT: It gives me an error on boot, about CUST not existing... Nothing important, I can continue to use it but it's rather annoying? Fixes? Thanks.

Depending on OS and security level it can happen, it might need an elevated access- Try: right click - run as administrator

Had to also copy everything over manually, running as admin didn't help. I haven't done anything to my security settings and am running on the only account that was created with the install. I think it might have something to do with me running on dev mode though.

Regular mode what is enabled by Deafult on KitKat and newer ROM's. It is also known as Media Transfer Protocol and when you connect phone it should look something like this (screenshot from my PC with my current device connected because of copying nandroid backup to PC)
Antoher note: for LG Spirit it looks like Phone Icon, not Media Device.

Perfect thx that explains a lot..
As you mentioned already the bootloader stack thing but also another one you flashed 21y modem .. I will need some time to investigate both things and come back to you asap
Update:
ok so the worst thing you had done was flashing the 21y modem. The problem with that one is that it is ARB 3 (see known ARB) and so blown fuses (in areas not related to the bootloader ARB but for firmware).
Anyways that will refuse using several parts of your firmware now.
There is no guarantee if the following would make things even more worse but that's what I would try:
extract the system and the modem partition of the 21y kdz
grab the "etc/firmware/venus.*" files from the extracted system partition and copy them to system/etc/firmware/ (mount "system" in TWRP before)
grab the "image/a2dsp.*" files from the extracted modem partition and copy them to /firmware/image (mount "Firmware" in TWRP before)
boot again and grab the dmesg as soon as possible
again that can make things even more worse so you do this on ur own risk.

I can't mount the file, after making it the size it wants with "truncate -s $((1159168*4096)) system_691200.bin" it will mount but then is completely empty. Repairing with fsck annihilates everything. What is the trick to dumping/mounting this?

The latest should work fine but you have to merge (!) the files once extracted which is a separate option in that tool. For mounting you could then use SALT (advanced menu) if you like

It only extracts one system file, system_691200.bin, there is nothing to merge. That's with 1.2.6.1, I tried several different versions and all of them only list/extract one file. The tot I used is not corrupt (i believe), downloaded 3 more and they all had the same md5.
Do you know offhand if I would be able to push the system_691200.bin onto the phone and mount it just to grab those files?

wow thats is really a stubborn crap.. Cannot mount, resize, fsck, fix, testdisk/photorec , ... (and yea I used DD to get the correct size, offset ...)
EDIT3: @baconbacon
no one is as stubborn as me lol..
ok I have not figured out why that crappy windows software does not extract it correctly but I searched and found another extractor here. (whoa.. that way I could make TOT files support available in SALT...)
compiled. ran. mounted. simply works..
so here you go: http://leech.binbash.it:8008/stock/LG/h810/21y_arb3
you just need: h810_21y_ARB3_system-etc-firmware.tgz
download that one.
extract it and follow the prev post here
