That's great news. I know of Dan's work and he's a genius when it comes to android. I remember getting the word a couple last year that he had cracked the Moto RAZR HD's bootloader. Full unlock , no exploit, full unlock. The first ever Motorola boot loader hacked. But I digress, as soon as we get this thing a custom recovery I'm going to start working on porting a PacMan ROM. And my own Vanilla Bean.

One question ppl...? I'm little nooby on this recovery methods so I'll ask as I've been able to understand so far.

I see that there's been waiting on the root tree in order to get full recovery of this handsome phone...

Since that will be soon available hopefully, I'm interested if it's going to be available for all versions of LG Flex, since some have Loki cracked and some don't, or is it going to be released by versions?

Will recovery method work for all versions when it's released or not??? :rolleyes:

cheers m8's
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
it will be a device to device thing. Can only hope for the best. ;)
[LG G Flex] Gotroot:
Just an update he has the recovery built. I will be testing it as soon as LG send my phone back...

https://github.com/djrbliss/loki/issues/54

I opened up new issue on the loki gitgub to get [MENTION=4229979]djrbliss[/MENTION] response on if loki works with AT&T G Flex. Prepared what would be needed for him and asked about the hdr offset since that was the last piece I needed to see if loki works.

I believe it doesn't but will find out from the djribliss.

If it does not there can be another way around it using pieces of the F340 bootchain and modifying D950 kernel...
[LG G Flex] iamtha1:
Im really thinkin that shellnut cracked the flex bootloader and were not gunna need loki
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
Its been patched for loki. ;)
[LG G Flex] AndroidUser00110001:
How can loki be done if the loki exploit has been patched in the G Flex?

In an earlier post I stated what I was going to try to do by using a mix bags of files from the F340 and D950 to bypass the security check. It worked on G2 when it got the KitKat update and only way we have a custom recovery and root on G2 KK.

https://github.com/djrbliss/loki/issues/54

I figured as much. Thanks for your response on Github and here.

if I can bring this off topic for a question. I noticed loki has been updated, when I run loki_tool I get

bash: ./loki_tool: cannot execute binary file

I changed permissions and made it executable?
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
it cant if its been patched for it. :(

Dunno I've not used loki_tool yet, I been just using loki_patch. lol
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
Using the boot chain from a previous unpatched version is plausible. Thats prolly whats being done on the G2 etc and what we did for the LG Spectrum after the ICS update b4 loki was created. Wasnt a simple process tho. lol
[LG G Flex] AndroidUser00110001:
I am aware that it has been patched. I was just asking [MENTION=1051336]Gotroot[/MENTION] a rhetorical question ;)

That's what we did with G2, we used parts of the 4.2.2 boot chain with 4.4.2 kernel modified to work with the older boot chain files.

The problem is the D950 never had a recovery for it, it came out of the box with it patched for the loki exploit so I was going to see if we can do the same on the G Flex using boot chain files from the F model Flex that has a recovery for it.

The trick is finding the offsets and getting them all to match up during the boot process and hope there is no hardware check too.

LG locked the door good on the G2 with the KitKat update but they forgot to close the door before they locked it. On the D950 they closed the door first and then locked it :)
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
yea Neph had fun figuring out everything on the Spectrum. I had the simple job of writing the bash script. lol
[LG G Flex] Gotroot:
Ok so my new phone should be here very soon. I will see if I can get ahold of Shel and see if we can test the build with my At&t model
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
I've got a T-Mobile D959, if there is anything I can do to help test Loki or cwm/twrp please let me know or PM me the files and instructions if any. Or method you would like tested on T-Mobile variant. I'm up for helping speed up this process any way I can. I just have very little knowledge in bootloaders and custom recoveries besides using the recoveries and installing already working custom recoveries. And the last phone I had was a dev edition GS4 so it was already bootloader unlocked and the one before was a RAZR HD maxx that I eventually unlocked. (With Dan Rosenberg's exploit ). I'm no stranger to android or Linux just have very little knowledge of building custom recoveries and Loki.

@ PlayfulGod here is the aboot,boot,recovery imgs for the D950. They are all factory and the build prop is there due to the fact that my att var is unlocked and maybe it will help.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6uVEbj1ynBZMGFSV1pKM1o5WG8/edit?usp=sharing
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
That aboot has been patched for loki. ;)

playfulgod@techygeek:/media/playfulgod/Android/Device.Stuffz/LGFlex/LS-D950/LS-D950$ strings aboot.img | grep "overlaps with aboot"
Boot image buffer address overlaps with aboot addresses.
Signature read buffer address overlaps with aboot addresses.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
So explain this to me. Aboot is patched to work with Loki or patched to block Loki? And can the same thing be done to get the aboot to boot correctly for the T-Mobile d959?

Is it a matter of adding a script like this? Is that what playfulgod has done here with these lines of script/code ?

If I send you links to the D959 can you ( [MENTION=2999829]PlayfulGod[/MENTION] ) do the same and teach me what and why you did and are doing this?

The way I understand it is Loki is simply allowing a custom recovery by running the aboot in a different sequence to that the bootloader doesn't reject the custom recovery ? I may be way off. Please explain. I want to learn.

Thanks

[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
its patched to block loki. I just ran that cmd against the provided aboot.img, if it outputs anything like it did, its been patched to prevent loki (bliss shared this info with me). I seen others open aboot in a hexeditor and look for the same string.

And what loki does (summarized) is patch the boot/recovery img's to bypass the signature check done by the bootloader. This will explain it in more detail than I can do. http://blog.azimuthsecurity.com/2013/05/exploiting-samsung-galaxy-s4-secure-boot.html

And with it patched for loki, atm theres nothing much I can do, I leave the exploits to the pros like bliss and jcase, etc. ;)

With the bootloader locked and no current way to exploit it, the only choices are modded stock roms w/o modded kernels and boot.imgs, or 2nd-init. Bootstrap might work and would need to contact Hashcode about that.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
I'm fine with safestrap I had it on my razr before unlock the bootloader to me there wasn't much difference besides flashing of kernels but it's my understanding that has code has that resolved as well. Seems like I remember seen on the galaxy s4 the people that had to safestrap he had found a way for them to be able to flash kernel as well

Sent from my LG-D959 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
yea certain models of the s4 used safestrap. that's about all I know about it tho. lol
[LG G Flex] iamtha1:
If it is patched to block Loki then why has shelnutt have a custom recovery for the Sprint variant in testing as we speak? Just curious did he unlock the booloader then?
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
I was on the at&t GS4 luckily I bought a refurbished device which came with the older 4.2.2 software and was able to use loki . But those who took the second 4.2.2 or 4.3 update had it patched so safe strap was their only method. I used TWRP and loved it. One good thing about safe strap though is you have. The ability to load and setup up to 4 ROMs simultaneously and bounce between them seamlessly with out backing up and restoring.

Sent from my LG-D959 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2

I'm not sure what Shelnutt has gotten done or what exactly he is doing, and we wont know until there is an update or its all posted. ;)

Could you check out the differences between this recovery and what shellnut has? A link was posted to the Sprint cwm recovery in the general section. However it hasn't been fully tested

[LG G Flex] iamtha1:
I was talking with a very smart man on irc yesterday and he said the g2 paved the way for the flex and a few devs need to get motivated and we would have a custom recovery Loki style!!!! I just wish I was one of those devs
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
Yea, easy for them to say since the have older bootloaders that werent patched against loki.

If they found something new, then they need to share, commit to loki, or stfu. ;)

If some of you are brave I can setup a package that flashes the KR aboot that loki supports and the CWM I built. ;)

Did you try to boot to recovery?
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Nope didn't work on D959. It installed. I opened. Clicked install BL and Recovery. It went through the process bit never gave a toast saying yay or nay. I did it one more time. Same thing. Stayed on the same install BL screen. So I went back one screen to the reboot into recovery screen. Clicked it. It rebooted. No issue. That other apk that I installed CWM with will boot me into recovery but not from power off state. And its got a script in it that wipes dalvik and cache on reboot to system. But now that I've installed it and CWM it wipes both even on normal reboot or if I power on the phone. Weird. And can't find it. Don't mind the wipe but makes boot up 2 mins long.

I'm having a weird problem with Internet link over WiFi where after phone awakes from sleeping local network still works but Internet does not.

I'm next to the router, signal strength is "Excellent" with 72Mbps link speed. WiFi icon under quick settings is orange. If I toggle WiFi it will work again for a while but then it will fail again.

I've never had this problem on GS2 or GS4 or even the laptop or voip which runs off wifi 100% of the time.

I read somewhere that setting static IP might help but that shouldn't be necessary. Is anyone experiencing this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dinodustin:
So I'm currently using Sultan ROM, and I wanted to try a 4.4 KitKat ROM. I had to flash the MJ4 (using MJ4 ATM) or MJC modem available to flash the Sultan ROM, but was curious if I could flash the 4.4 KK ROM even though I have one of those modems.

Is it safe to downgrade a modem from a zip? (From DocHoliday77's thread)

Would I need to ODIN back to an older firmware instead?

SGH T-999 using TWRP 2.6.3.1
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You can downgrade Modems using Doc's thread just fine. You don't have to Odin previous firmware if you don't want to.

As far as trying Kitkat rom is concerned, I do not believe its related to the Modem as such. So long you have UVDLJC baseband or newer, you should be all set.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
If you open a terminal app and type

su
getprop ro.bootloader

It will spit out what firmware you are on. Like Perseus said above, LJC or newer.

Myself, I am on MD5 bootloader but I run LI7 modem. I have tried MJ4 and MJC (if that are the newest one's names) and I have had issues with latency on both in my area. So I went back to LI7 that was a JB leak about 7 months ago. lol.

Firmware =/= Modem
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dinodustin:
Feeling safe now. Thanked for the post and thanks for the reply (:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Note of Caution. Do not flash the most newest firmware UVUEMJC that includes the Bootloader called UVUEMJC. There are very serious consequences if you do. You follow Woody's steps to identify your bootloader.

However, the Modem from that firmware, which Doc has posted on this thread is quiet safe to use. Just flash it in your Custom Recovery TWRP or CWM.

(Yeah I know, having both the things named the same is confusing.)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dinodustin:
I'll check out my firmware I'm on in a bit. I'll try out the different modems to see which one I'm getting best connections with too then. Thanks for the useful info!

Yeah, it was confusing until you two showed up and came to the rescue :D I've heard of those serious consequences and won't be flashing the newest firmware for my own safety. I've had a history of a couple hard bricked devices (still bricked, sadly) and wouldn't want to risk any bricks again without reading and understanding the information correctly hahaha. Thanks for the warning :good:

Been a long time apple user ..since the original iphone in 2007. had every version of it. Got bored of ios and switched to Galaxy s3 last year and been quite happy so far. Last week i traded the S3 for Sony Xperia ZL..and man..i love this hardware and the version of android..

The sony launcher is by far the best one i've seen compared to the touchwiz and others..I used to have so many launchers and widgets on my S3 whereas i have no launchers and widgets on ZL.. The built in has all the features i need,,

Got the iphone 5S for the wife..but the display on ZL is quite something..camera is great. Battery life is reasonable (compared to my old S3) and the standard android customization is very handy..

Don't think i'll ever go back to ios or other android devices for a while.

Generalities tend to be tough to back up.

As to your question about an upgrade - you should be able to install the "stock" generic 67 rom for your phone via flashtool, and have it work properly on Bell as what's important are the radio frequencies the phone supports. (and you "should" be able to flash it without wiping your data...
