Anyone have any luck with that kdz tot extracter.. I am probably gunna order the phone Friday.. Hopefully its rooted by then.. :D

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

Does anyone know if this will help the att flex get root. https://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensourceList?types=NAME&search=d950
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Yeah we have seen the open source that LG posted and unfortunately it doesnt have the files we need to gain root access. I am running those python scripts now but i havent gotten anything usefull out of them yet but im not giving up that easily. I will let you guys know if i get anything usefull.
[LG G Flex] ndroid916:
Rooted my Sexy Curved Flex from Sprint with out a single problem, thank you so much!

Sent from my LG Flex
[LG G Flex] kevinrocksman:
if anyone has recieved any of these files send them to me and i will host them FOR FREE
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
So I have run those .py and I have not had any luck with them. I am looking through the scripts now to see if there is something I have missed but if anyone has any ideas please let me know and I will update these .py's so we can get them to work.
[LG G Flex] iamtha1:
This no root for att is making me.kinda nervous about jumping to the flex..:confused::confused:

I know lol... Just being a ancy kid... In a adult body
[LG G Flex] hillmom:
LOL, granted I'm going through flash withdrawal myself. It will just take some time. However, I'm still loving the phone 100%stock. Well not exactly, I an using APEX instead.

[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Its just like any brand new phone, it just takes time to work out the root if the manufacurer doesnt grant root access to begin with. We are working on it and it shouldnt take us too long but the did just come out last Tuesday and AutoPrime has done an incredible job of getting several of the models rooted already. So just be patient and we will get there and i will tell you that once this phone is rooted it will be fantastic. I am very happy with the purchase. And if you have an idea on how to get around the root to get the tot or kdz please let us know.
[LG G Flex] iamtha1:
Oh on still gunna get it one of the coolest phones I have ever put my hands on and Ive went through a lot a fun stuff with autoprime on the lg optimus g.. I know he will get it I'm gunna put my order in tonight for the flex
[LG G Flex] Bladerunner1825us:
From what i understand the tot file has to be seperate from the device because anything that comes from the device will not have all of the partitions needed for modding. Bsically you need root access in order to access the partitions that would give root access... as prime said a catch22

I wouldnt worry, once he has the file he needs he can update the app to work with our phone....just look at the att note 3 forums. They never thought theyd be where they are now ;)
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Ok these python scripts are not giving me anything but nothing! If i am doing something wrong i dont know what it is. Unless im mad these should just run like regular .py's right? Or should I be doing some magical script as well? I've looked over the scripts and it looks like they should work if LAS_V08d_pre_00.kdz is the right file.
[LG G Flex] Xak:
[MENTION=2607869]aznrice2k4[/MENTION] do you know how to do this? part so their can be root for our device?
[LG G Flex] Clark Joseph Kent:
Members, Thread Cleaned and addressed....there will be no selling/requiring "donations" via XDA. Thank you.
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
i missed everything.. who was asking for donations?

most likely the reason anyone was asking for $$ was because there is a chinese site that sells the tot files for $10-$20... so unless someone pays up.. the tot/kdz file will have to leak. The owner of the chinese site has direct LG Service Center access. I had similar access until recently when LG patched up their server holes :angel:

If this was indeed the case of why $$ was asked for... you can't be mad at that. If someone is going out of their way to grab a file that requires $$.. certainly he shouldnt have to come out of pocket for it. If this is not the case... then I agree that's wrong and should not be tolerated.

if anyone works in an AT&T service/repair center they may have access to the tot. Tot files are for official repair/service centers.

KDZ files are the firmware files for us lowly consumers. It is up to AT&T to decide if you get a KDZ file. AFAIK the G2 never had an official KDZ... so not sure if AT&T will release a KDZ for the flex.. but we can hope. :fingers-crossed:

As for the kdz/tot extractor you've all been poking at... you NEED an actual tot or kdz file to run the scripts on.. it is not to run with your phone :p

A system dump will not help root. As I've previously said.. I need the aboot and boot partitions... you can only access these with root.. or if you pull them from a kdz/tot.

Root will come... it's not a question of if... just when :good:
[LG G Flex] Bladerunner1825us:
There was a complete lack of transparency on his part. Had he started a forum saying "ok guys i gotta way to get this for ya but this is whats involved right up front" then there wouldnt have been an issue. Instead it was "I got this and if you want it you have to make a "donation." i agree with you 100% but theres a right way to do things and a wrong way. If it does end up involving having to pay a 3rd party service IOT get the files ya need and if everything about the transactions are transparent i have no problems kicking in for a job well done!

Once again sorry OP for the OT but i thought that should be addressed. I can pm ya with a more detailed account if ya like.
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
finally, JUDGEMENT DAY has arrived...:eek::eek:
[LG G Flex] aznrice2k4:
Can someone pm the site for the tot? I will pay out of pocket and share it. I WANT ROOT!
[LG G Flex] Bladerunner1825us:
I think only wolfgart knew it but his account is currently disabled... if ya find it and share it though ill gladly pitch in to the cause
[LG G Flex] aznrice2k4:
I'll gladly pay for it. Honestly, $20 for root isn't bad consider I want to start development for this device asap.
[LG G Flex] blkghost22:
Same here willing to pay if i know the site
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
I think if that was the case for the tot the dude would of just said so. Instead he asked for a donation. He could of just said I have to buy them.
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
AutoPrime. In reply to your earlier post

Yep it took me a bit to figure that out but I did finally come to that conclusion like a dummy. I was willing to try anything but that was a two hour rabbit hole I shouldn't have fallen into. I am going to try a guy I went to university with who works as an AT&T referb monkey and see if I can't get that tot from him. I can't believe they have locked this down so hard. Its ridiculous! Haven't the providers gotten that we buy Android so we can gain root and boot loop our devices until we start crying and then drink some more coffee rewrite our batch files and start again? I need to be able to jerk around with my ROM! There is no point in having an Android if you can't potentially brick your devices, it makes having such a high end phone exciting and fun. I mean let's face it, me being a code monkey is mundane and tedious 75% of the time at work, but when I get home and I start goofing with the AOSP stuff and adding features I get excited about code again.

I have not really been apart of the rooting process yet but I'm having a blast learning and it is a bit frustrating going from HTC and Motorola where they gave us boot loader unlock keys and help with screwing with the stock ROM to this nonsense. But I have to say that I have never liked another phone as much as I like the way the Flex fits in my hand and the curve is nice to scroll and watch and play on. I know that I am going to love the phone when I can remove the bloat and fool around with a CM or maybe a vanilla AOSP ROM with some of the cooler shiz that LG has put on this stock. Waiting sucks, but it will make the root that much sweeter in the end.
[LG G Flex] aznrice2k4:
I found the site but I don't know how to download it. Here's the link. I registered and all but file is 404!

Here's the forum thread.

http://bbs.gaodi.net/bios-Firmware-665153-1-1.html

If someone can hack or find the file, http://dl02.gdms.lge.com:5006/dn/do...01/LGD950AT-01-V10c-310-410-JAN-06-2014+0.zip
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
thats not the site.. that site simply posts the direct links to the tot files... but unless you have LG Service Center access... the download will never work. I can see all the links for all tots... but can't download anything. KDZ files on the other hand... I can grab.. as long as they are not test/beta KDZ files(which that site also posts).

The site which wants you to pay used to be called http://www.zpsjbbs.com/ but I think theyre trying to avoid legal issues with LG.. so the new url is http://www.lgbbs.com/

You need to pay to even get a username on the forum.. on top of paying for each file. The good news is.. they have all the files. You'll have to fumble around thru the Chinese.. but the site is legit... well.. as legit as forcing ppl to pay for files is. But they won't run off with your money. I'm not sure how they'll feel about the buyer posting the files publicly either... you will most likely be banned once they see it goes public.
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
So what can we do with these files
[LG G Flex] aznrice2k4:
I can't seem to access the site you linked. :/

Yes you are right
[LG G Flex] Bladerunner1825us:
Haha i was bout to post the exact link but ya beat me to it :)
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
its the .com not .cn

the site doesnt always load. might not like when u click on the hyperlink i posted.. type www.lgbbs.com out in your address bar should work.
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
does that look right?
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
that's it.

here is the LG G Flex forum - www.lgbbs.com/forum-133-1.html

If D950 isn't listed I believe it's possible to request.

The file needed is LGD950AT-01-V10c-310-410-JAN-06-2014+0.zip ... unzipped would probably be LGD950AT-01-V10c-310-410-JAN-06-2014+0.tot
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
And for T mobile the files needed to go back to stock is????

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

My phone is bricked btw lol. On this crappy s4 ugh
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
As for the D959 tot.. not sure on the name..

Tmobile does have a KDZ tho. I can probably grab the kdz for that.. not sure when I'll have the time to download/upload a 2GB file tho.

Exactly how "bricked" is your phone. Bricked is the wrong term since it's not dead.. just not working ;)

Can you boot into anything? recovery? fastboot? or only download mode?

if you plug the phone into Windows and look at Windows device manager.. do you see anythign about qhsusb or qhsusb_bulk? trying to boot into different modes may produce different results in device manager.

I'm going to guess maybe you tried flashing a recovery to this device? Tmobiles G Flex has the loki exploit blocked... so trying to flash a custom kernel or custom recovery would break things.
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
Oh ive already got a new one coming and yeah not bricked but just stuck in fast boot. 2 days my new one will be here. Anywas I was drinking and pushed some wrong files lol. Phones and alcohol do not mix

---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

One of my good friends works there and just said it was a defective device and gave me a s4 to use because they had to order another one they ran out
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
oh you have fastboot?! well thats probably fixable then :P

just fastboot the stock aboot, sbl1, dbi, laf, tz, rpm, boot partitions and reboot. it should boot right back up.

Tmo partitions are on my codefire site(iomonster runs codefire.. but i have a folder): http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/G_Flex/D959/stock_firmware/D95910c_partitions

unlike the chinese.. i dont charge for my files ;)

you may want to rename the partitions to .img instead of .bin

and fastboot comands would be formatted like:

fastboot flash aboot aboot.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

etc

etc

i dont keep the system partition on there cuz its too big and i dont wanna waste server space. if system is messed up you may need another rooted D959 user to dump their system partition. but hopefully what i said above gets you booting again.
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
You are the man

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

I just so happened to pull the system right after root

IF you do not mind I can probably host the system files and your files for other ppl to get and write a tut on it

lol I dumb i just pulled the system files
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
cant be 100% sure from the pic.. but you pulled the actual system.img ? and not the individual files/folders? if so then you could fastboot system as well

fastboot flash system system.img
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
I just pull the folder. But if you have the system.img ill host it

either way in 2 days I can pull it. I am getting a new flex sent to me.
[LG G Flex] johnson9203:
Yeah prime do u have anything on FOXFI tethering on sprint LG G FLEX (LS995) with your " root"
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
is my "root" not real.. and therefore needs quotations? ;)

lol jk

but as for foxfi.. no clue. that's nothing I'm interested in or have time to look into. you will most likely need to patch the framework to allow for tethering using the built in tether function. and no i havent looked at it so im not sure what would need to be patched exactly.

this thread really isnt the place for discussing tethering either.
[LG G Flex] justinswidebody:
I already have the tether hacked and ready to go. We just need a recovery so we can make back ups and flash it. But I already have the factory hot spot hacked and working.

---------- Post added at 07:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 AM ----------

Autoprime, I have pulled the system.img off of my device. If I were to try and mod something and it cause a bootloop. Sense the ls995 doesn't have a custom recovery yet, could I fastboot that system.img and return me to stock?
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
nice work on the tether mod. loki has been patched/blocked on the Sprint G Flex so simply building recovery and patching it with loki will not work. alternative solutions are being looked at behind the scenes. can't say for certain how things will end up... but there is hope.

as for restoring system.. the thing is... booting into fastboot is not an option you can choose manually. fastboot on the non-nexus LG devices happens when other partitions are damaged.. and it goes into a "fallback fastboot" mode which gives us fastboot... but there's no button combo or something to get into it. sometimes.. just because system is messed up does not mean you will always go into fastboot. I'm not 100% sure what triggers it just yet. long story short.. to rely on getting into fasboot would be a gamble. tho yes.. if you WERE in fastboot and had the system.img.. you could fastboot it.tho it's likely another partition besides system has also been messed up and you also need to be fastbooted.

technically you can force fastboot.. but only if you have adb access or are booted into rom and are able to edit the misc partition. but that wouldnt matter if the phone is already messed up. it'd be too late to make the change.

the best way to recover would be to boot into download mode and flash a stock tot file. tot for ls995 is not public yet.

there is a 2nd fallback after fastboot.. which is called qhsusb_bulk mode... and this is a feature of the snapdragon 800... not something LG gave us. this is when all hell breaks loose and you cant even get into download mode. if you have bulk mode your screen will be black but Windows device manager will show the device as "bulk"... in bulk mode you can boot into linux and all the phones partitions will be mounted. you can then use command line dd command to write raw partitions directly to your phone.

there is a 3rd fallback which is just qhsusb(or qhsusb-something... but not bulk) which is bad news at the moment.. because we do not have the proper files from LG/Qualcomm to effectively use this mode(yet).

:good:
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Ok that Chinese site is a waste of time and they dont even have the D950 files (even if you ask) and if they did you have to pay for "rank" points to unlock the ability to download the files you need. Riiiiiiiip offfffffff! But before I went to mess around there I asked LG if they would just give me the files using the whole "I'm a dev for a university" which usually works and they said they wouldnt give them to me but I could go look at this thread if I wanted to move forward. WTF? Seriously, I am dumbfounded. You (the moderator or a vendor development site) wont give me the files for the model of phone that I purchased to develop for but you send me to a site that is not only third party but is full of less than familiar with your firmware/architecture/ rom? Does that make sense to anyone else? Am I missing something that everyone has been clued into? I feel like I am trying to buy some elusive software off the black market. So far I have asked Koreans, Chinese, and a major manufacturer for a file that seems to be unattainable. Its aggruvating but I have to say I am having so much fun trying. So does anyone else have any ideas? Because I am ready to try anything at this point.

---------- Post added at 01:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 AM ----------

Do you think if we asked QualComm they would be more forthcoming than LG has been so far? After the last couple of sites it might be fun to try and see but I didn't know if you had already tried. I thought I would ask before I wasted the time.
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
Closed sources bro. LG just ain't gonna give stuff up. My do you think htc and Samsung have stuff saying on the phones ots beem unlock. In all good time good things will come be patient
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Oh I can wait, I am just having a blast looking for this stuff. I have been working from home for the past month because I have 3 herniated disks and between the pain meds and the cabin fever this is the most fun I have had since this shiz started. Wait until tomorrow I have a buddy that works as a referber at an AT&T facility and I am going to be blowing up his cell and calling in several favors to get him to give up that tot. But again all in good fun, if it would effect his job then I don't mind waiting. It does seem strange to me that they would lock it down as hard as they have though. I mean they are calling the Flex their flagship and you would think that they would want us developing and moding their featured, maybe they find a mod that really makes the Q-Slide a little less dumb but really marketable. That makes more sense than locking us out all together. Give us root access but keep the boot loader warning screen, or whatever.

[LG G Flex] autoprime:
I want to be 100% sure that previous ioroot methods dont work on D950. I'm looking at files from an AT&T demo unit that I was able to root.

open up command prompt if on windows.. terminal if on linux

cd into the ioroot folder.

connect phone to usb cable... set usb mode to "charge" or "charging only" or whatever it says on your phone.

enable usb debugging.

go back to command prompt/terminal and enter the following commands:

adb devices (make sure device is seen by adb)

adb push ytiruces_1a_kk /sdcard/ytiruces_1a (make sure file was pushed successfully)

now toggle usb mode... set it to MTP.. then set it back to Charge.

go back to command prompt/terminal and enter:

adb shell

do you see # or $ ?

# = root.... $ = didnt work... and AT&T must have changed something right before it started shipping the G Flex :/
[LG G Flex] Bladerunner1825us:
:( Nope, im still getting $. Tried several times too toggling usb several different ways. I wonder though.....I remember on the ATT note 3 the first root de la vega we had to downgrade the firmware before we could inject root until designgears was able to obtain the new firmware. Do you have the demo unit you rooted? If so maybe since its rooted you can pull the full set of partitions from it and do something similar? Just shooting from the hip here haha
