So when SD835 (and then SD845) based phones came out, abl replaced aboot -- and it LOOKED encrypted. Well due to the work I just did on G7 / V40 KDZs, I decided to take another look at it.
It turns out they use:
Code:
LZMA compressed data, non-streamed, size 602312
So, I just decompressed abl, and now it can be decompiled. This applies to the V30, V35, V40 and G7. I tested all 4, and they can all be decompressed. So they can all be decompiled now. This opens up a whole world of possibilities of finding an exploit.
Just a quick strings on the G710EM abl reveals that these fastboot commands are available:
Code:
reboot-bootloader
getvar:
download:
oem lock
flashing lock
flashing unlock_critical
flashing lock_critical
flashing get_unlock_ability
flash:
erase:
oem device-id
oem sha1sum
set_active
I am loading it into IDA now to poke around and take a look.

Good luck man, awesome work.
What significance does this have on the v30 scene? Like, what kind of possibilities have been unlocked with this?

Eventually one or more models will have ARB incremented -- when that happens, the WTF exploit will be closed and only the H932 will have root unless I can find an exploit.
Sprint is notorious for incrementing ARB, as is AT&T.

Have you finished all your investigations for all variants V20? Or you will prepare some cool guide, how to unlock bootloader on H990DS and other model variants?
Really appreciate your investigations on LG last devices!
Thanks in advance!

The only V20 model that can't currently be rooted is the LS997.
For the H990DS .. just follow the Dirty Santa guide.

Hi Brian,
I saw your post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/to-carrier-unlock-att-v35-t3852548/page2?nocache=1
>Well, let me clarify. I have only been able to check models that have a KDZ that I can pull the certs from. Any model that either never has KDZ (AT&T or Sprint), or if a KDZ isn't publicly available yet .. I haven't been able to check since I can't get anyone to dump abl.
I have a G7+ model # lm-g710eaw. Is there a way to dump abl for you from my phone without damaging it? I am not a dev, but i would be glad to help you if i can.

Anyone know the difference between the LG device ID and the Android ID? Any idea which partition it might be stored in? Would other variants such as H810 H811 H812 etc have a device ID as well?

The Android device ID is generated on the first Boot and can be easily changed as its stored in the data Partition once generated. This ID is used for example when you buy something in the Google Play Store. .
the fastboot device ID is coming from the internal flash memory of your device and is absolutely unique for every device and there is no (easy) way to modify it. If that is even possible because maybe it's just generated by the CPU.
You can't even see where it is stored as long as you do not use a box which is able to direct Flash (usually this requires soldiering or special cables as well).
It's like the PBL which is the primary Bootloader and you are not able to see / modify that as well. If you could do so you'd be able to flash your own certificates and signed Bootloader stack and can just switch off Secure Boot or enable Unlock in fastboot.

No. And before you start using it ensure you understand that this can easily brick your device, convert your device and blow fuses. I can just highly recommend to stop here.

Every device has it. But the fastboot is different on every model and even firmware.
The fastboot on a h812 does not need to show it because it can't be unlocked that way. That's all.

Does a blown fuse instantly mean hard brick? Also, if the h812 fastboot commands aren't complete, how can I view my device ID? is there any other way?

Blowing fuses means not hard brick. It means several things behave different without any way to revert as it's a physical one-way process.
One well known fuse is ARB. Read about that in the antirollback post linked in my signature.
Another is happening when using qfil which afterwards only allow special firehose programmers ( and we have only 2 which not are able to handle the latest ones ) and there are also many fuses unknown as there is no official or leaked documentation about it.

If only I can somehow get an H811 KDZ onto it...
Maybe if I flash H810 KDZ and then the H811 KDZ?
Not a lot happening with the V35 in the dev community, apparently, but the update came out today for my brand new Project Fi LG V35.
I've seen requests for the KDZ file in various threads, so here it is if anyone can use it.
KDZ File on AndroidFileHost (MD5: c3daf5a98064086d86a3d78b35b6ab9c)
So this file would be all that's needed other than a patched version of LGUp to change my At&t variant to the factory unlocked variant?

Every Twitter rep says it won't be. If you look, the US V30 isn't actually there either. Only the European ones.
I really like the phone but I'm considering returning it because of LG's unwillingness to allow us to unlock the bootloader. It would be perfect if it were possible.

How long do I have to return to Fi, I wonder. I may have to pick up a P2XL or just wait for the 3. I like the Nexus line for developer options alone. I hope some one finds an exploit otherwise. Sucky. Why have the developer options and OEM unlock availability in the settings? LG, you anger me.

According to Fi's return policy, you have 15 days from date of receipt. I ended up returning mine since it seems like development here is bleak. I did see that @runningnak3d is turning his attention to the US T-Mobile LG G7 variant. Maybe he might turn his attention here too after? :crying:
Please correct me if the info I just looked up is wrong....
It looks like there are only two models of the V35 -- the Korean model, and one for AT&T?
EDIT: OK, so there is the carrier unlocked Fi version, the Korean version, and the AT&T version. The rest of this post still applies, but change any 2s to 3s
If that is the case, and neither has an unlockable bootloader, then I seriously doubt it will ever happen.
Most of the TZ is on the CPU starting with the SD845, but more importantly, the abl (what used to be aboot, also called the apps bootloader) is encrypted. It is no longer possible to decompile it to try and find any exploits.
Well, let's just say *I* don't have what it takes. Since it is decrypted when the phone boots, it would be possible to dump RAM while the phone boots .. but that is some expensive equipment.
On the V30, an exploit was found by someone just randomly flashing an unlock.bin from another model. It turns out that before they patched that exploit, that ANY unlock.bin would unlock the bootloader. However, this was on a model that LG allowed to be unlocked, and the RSA key was the same on all other models (except the H932), so they could just cross flash.
Let's just assume that was possible on the V35, next is getting TWRP onto the phone. I was able to find an exploit in laf for the H932 due to the fact that there are many models, and the carriers like to build their own firmware. So, you end up with not just holes that LG left in, but holes that the carriers themselves add because they don't know what the eff they are doing.
So, back to the V35....
With only 2 models, and neither of them having official bootloader unlock, and only two different versions of laf to work with, I don't see it happening.

I should clarify, unlocked as in carrier unlocked. That is the model I have. I'm not familiar with LG devices, but there isn't even a way to boot into the bootloader.
Yea, I hate to say that it is impossible (I did that for the H918, the H872 and then the H932 and ended up proving MYSELF wrong) but this isn't looking good.
With the V20, G6 and V30:
A - Had models that had officially unlockable bootloader support from LG
B - Could decompile aboot (on the V20 and G6 at least)
C - had LOTS of different versions of laf to work with.
I will download the KDZ and take a look though...

Is it too soon to start a bounty for a bootloader unlock? Do we even have any devs using this device(Lm-G710TM)? Im good for $100+.
It's not soon for USA unlocked (G710ULM) because 11th July was the release, till now why there's no bootloader for this unlocked variant! Already European variant enjoying root.
I usually give it like two months before I expect activity to pick up for new phones; even when owning Nexus phones. But, it's very discouraging to see how dead this place is, especially for any US variants. If there's no encouraging development for this phone by the time the Pixel 3 drops, I might just ditch this phone for that instead. This is a solid phone, but it could be absolutely great with a custom ROM/kernel.
totally agree, this is a great and solid phone. Could use a few tweaks and it'll be even better!

Now that I took care of the H932 V30 getting root, it is time to move on to you guys....
So, since I don't own this phone, I need some details if you guys would like me to help you get it rooted.

LG G710ULM owner here. I know it's not specifically a T-Mobile version but it does allow OEM unlocking by default. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing the differences between the G710TM and G710ULM aren't that big (if any at all). If you need any info from my end, let me know. I'd love to get the ball rolling on bootloader unlocks for this phone. Lots of untapped potential here.
So you have the slider in developer options for "Allow OEM Unlocking" .. do you have fastboot oem unlock?

Upon rebooting into Bootloader I'm presented with a quick guide for unlocking the phone:
1) Read Device ID
:fastboot oem device-id
2) Write Unlock Key
:fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin
3)Check bootloader is unlocked
:fastboot getvar unlocked
fastboot oem unlock results in a FAILED (remote: 'unknown command') message. Screenshot attached. My first attempt didn't work because I guess I didn't have the right bootloader drivers installed.
So it looks like even the unlocked models are in the same boat as everyone else, except Europe.

The T-Mobile version has the oem unlock slider.
Edit: if I run the fastboot oem unlock command, nothing happens. The phone when using reboot bootloader, gives me 3 options. Get ID, check unlock, I forget the wording on the other, but it's basically to input your unlock file I think.

On my Windows 10 machine, when this phone is in Bootloader and plugged in via USB, Device Manager showed it as just "Android" with a warning symbol next to it. Had to grab the latest Google ADB and Fastboot drivers and force install the drivers (Choose from list, Have Disk..., Android Bootloader Interface, etc.) in order for the computer to actually recognize the phone properly when in the Bootloader. Otherwise issuing Fastboot commands just resulted in <waiting for any device> or whatever. Strange, because I haven't touched this OS install in probably a year and I had no problems issuing commands to my Pixel XL in Bootloader this spring.
Anyways, looks like until LG decides they want to support unlocking other variants, we're dead in the water.

Be forewarned, I've noticed that fastboot doesn't always work, despite latest drivers. As of late, the Pixel has been known to hang on these same commands at times as well. My Moto Z2 Force suffers from this error as well.

I hope you know many are INCREDIBLY excited to have you on board! I'm not advanced, but once I receive my computer back, I'll definitely be available to help with providing info and helping test, as I have a TMO variant (I may or may not work for TMO as well, so yeah... )

So you have the slider in developer options for "Allow OEM Unlocking" .. do you have fastboot oem unlock?

Own a TMobile variant, oem unlocking option is there, fastboot commands do not work (or are extremely limited)
getprop | grep unlock (if it means anything)
[Ro.oem_unlock_supported]: [1]
[Sys.oem_unlock_allowed]: [1]
I know I probably didn't help out much, if you have any other questions feel free to ask I'll help out as much as I can. thank you for contributions and congrats on the V30 root.

Now that I took care of the H932 V30 getting root, it is time to move on to you guys....
So, since I don't own this phone, I need some details if you guys would like me to help you get it rooted.
1 - Did T-Mobile pull fastboot oem unlock, or can you still at least unlock your bootloader?
2 - If they did pull the ability, how do other G7s unlock their bootloader?
3 - Can someone provide me with a dump of laf? Maybe there is a KDZ around here that I missed, but it is early, and I am not going searching just yet.

I have the tmobile variant. Let me know what you might need.
Unlock Slider is present in developer settings and is not greyed out. Unlock command just hangs.

Sprint variant also has "Allow OEM unlocking" available and it is changeable
So you can issue fastboot flashing unlock_critical but not fastboot flashing unlock -- that is just weird.
If you issue the unlock_critical, do you get the warning that your phone is possibly corrupt, but will continue to boot?

I just purchased a Verizon LG G8 that is unlocked and want to use it on Metro. I haven't gotten the phone yet but I would like to (if it's possible) flash a unbranded firmware. I'm confused about whether I can use LGUP or LG flash tool to do this. Can someone please tell me if this can be done and if so what is the best firmware to flash to have it unbranded with minimal bloat?
I miss the good old days on XDA where people actually came on XDA and there was always someone able to help out. I feel like that doesn't exist anymore. Too many phones and too many different carriers.
I don't think there's a patched LGUP to do this for LG G8 yet.

Holy shiit, someone actually answered my question! That is insane! Thanks for the info man!
Is there a y method that currently works to flash firmware on the LG g8? I would like to flash the stock unlocked carrier unbranded firmware.
There is no way to flash through LGUP or any other tools currently but you can unlock boot-loader root and install firmware package through twrp but doesn't work for T-Mobile or Metro

There is a thread for it and same thing at the g7 thread. Just use octoplus jtag pro to flash the v35 engineering boot-loader to device and from there you can unlock boot-loader and do all the stuff. If you dont have octoplus jtag pro there is a guy who will do it for you he charges i dont know how much though.
hi, i want to convert my 7t from tmobile to international but without uncloking the bootloader.
i have found some threads about it here, but they are a bit confusing since they are showing how to do everything, like rooting, unlcloking and all these stuffs together and i just want to do the conversion to international without uncloking the bootloader, so if someone could help me with that i will appreciate it.
because i do not want to brick my phone i just want to do it right
the current model i have now is this (oneplus 7t HD1907 build number 10.0.12HD63CB)

I don't think it's possible without unlocking bootloader.

[CLOSED] T-Mobile 7T Conversion to International WITHOUT unlocked bootloader/SIM unlock!
Here is a patched MSM download tool for TMobile OP7T. It will bypass the need to sim unlock before unlocking the bootloader, and will also bypass the need of an unlock token file from OnePlus (hence skip the wait period of 1 week to get the...

I have done it (converted to international, locked bootloader) using this nice guide
[GUIDE][WIP]T-Mobile Brand Conversion to Rooted Global Firmware
First, let me say that this is only an attempt to pull this information out from a lot of different threads that require a bunch of research and a lot of institutional knowledge of Android. The idea of this thread is going from 100% T-Mobile...

N:B: Copy and replace all the files of the extracted fastboot rom (keep the files from the platform tools).
After flashing 10.0.12, do an immediate OTA to 10.0.15. After that execute "fastboot oem lock".

Hi mate,
Did you get the unlock token from OnePlus by waiting 7 days or using This Link?
Thanks

Waiting for my unlock token.
By the way, did you clean the data( by factory reset or in Recovery Mode ) before or after flashing the 10.0.12?
Thanks

When you will unlock the bootloader, it will automatically clean everything.
