I dont see those files; I guess I will try your ADB method

thanks!

Just rooted, works great thanks
[LG G Flex] newgeek35:
Thanks for supporting the AT&T version. Couldn't wait anymore to root this awesome phone. This phone comes with Carrier IQ but With root you can disable it :D Thanks again
[LG G Flex] cesarleeds:
Would like to know if any stock function is lost when rootingthe sexy Flex, it happened with some other devices in past.
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
You just gain root access. You gain more access but loose no features. So you have more control of your phone and all the features and can get rid of the bloat that the providers put on the device.
[LG G Flex] iamtha1:
Have u removed bloat from this device.. i was affraid too do to lg's security errors with removing some bloat
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
I have removed the AT&T bloat and have received no errors. I like most of the LG stuff and have started trying to make it work a bit better so I haven't gotten rid of any of it. But that AT&T junk is right out. LOL
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
It's been so quiet is everyone just working on roms and unlocking the bootloader or loki?
[LG G Flex] Ayocuz:
That's what I was wondering. I check this section at lease 5 times a day just to see if there is any new posts
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
I've just been working on this ROM and pulling the LG apks to see which ones I want to keep and it is hard to be patient waiting on access. On the other hand I know what it is to be working on a program when there is a ton of users waiting on it. You have to be very careful, especially when it could brick their devices. And then there is me as a user, God do I want to get my hands on that code to access the bootloader unlock or loki exploit. LoL

[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Hey Gadomido, which of the variants are you using? You can see by going to your Settings >General >About Phone > Hardware Information. Once we know which model you are using we will be more than happy to find you the files and tutorial that best suits your device. The thing about the updates is we don't know how it will effect the device until we look at what is inside the OTA. So once we get a hold of one of the zips we can assess what it will do and whether or not it will take away the root. It is very unlikely that the update would brick the phone, the more likely outcome would be that it would take root access away and you would have to wait for someone to figure out how to root the new update. I would suggest you wait for someone to unlock the bootloader or loki and then you can flash a custom recovery, kernel, and whatever ROM you want to put on your phone (that works with your device of course). So it comes down to If you prefer the stock rom or you want more access to the root shiz on your phone.

I hope this answers your question.
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Ok anyone have any idea where LG stores the OTA file before it pushes it to the phone? I have done an adb shell list find for zip files and LGd950 but only came up with the stuff I knew about. I have checked all the /cache folders but came up bust on those as well. Any ideas? Once I find it I'll give it to anyone that would like it. Just PM me. But first I need to find the pest.

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

Nevermind think I found it but it's not named like the last one which threw me.
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
its probably not a zip file, but something like .bin or a different extension..not sure where lg would drop it ota, most likely in a cache file somewhere in the root..
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Yeah so it was in the ~/cache/fota directory. It's called dlpkgfile and it is 66.0 mb. That is the only way I figured it out LOL. The update said it was 66 mb exactly now it's just converting the hex. So did someone want it? I can PM a url so that they can grab it. I want to install it just to see what it does but I don't want it to hinder me getting around that damn loki :p. So who wants it? I won't charge like some do. This is the right file though right? I haven't looked at it yet but it is the only thing close to what I was looking for.
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
66 megs wont be kit kat....do you even know what it is?
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Not yet but I am getting ready to look. Just started booting Ubuntu, it's in a pb file so it's time to break out the DB tools LoL

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

Has anyone used that OTA root Keeper apk on the Play store? I'm not going to try it I was just wondering if it worked. It really doesn't seem like it keeps anything but the SU and it's cache. If I'm wrong I would love to know what it does exactly.
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
I've used it several times on Samsung phones. It worked like a charm ever time. Now how exactly it does i do not know
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Ok so I was surfing the AT&T website and found this about the update http://www.att.com/esupport/softwareUpdateArticle.jsp?sid=KB423840&cv=820#fbid=nuvs2P6V3Cg

So apparently AT&T thinks that "multiple updates" means two, and one of them is the initial setup crap that you go through. If it was me I would have said a couple of updates, but that's just me. There has to be more than that in there because 66mb is big for just updating that crap. So now I'm just waiting for the Pure Basic to compile it so I can see what's really in there. There was absolutely nothing about Kit Kat in there so I wouldn't expect anything more than AT&T bloat taking up more realestate and a better blocked loki, but I could be wrong. I just wish I would have purchased Pure Basic for Linux instead of for Mac. I wish it was cheaper with my edu discount, but it's not. Bastards!

[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
You could start playing around with the resolution like several of us have been doing. Or you could try to figure out how to get around the bootloader or loki. I have more suggestions if you would like. At least 13 more right now... 16.

[LG G Flex] wase4711:
safestrap may be the only recourse of getting around Loki..
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Yeah I got that far, and I have it stared. But I would think it would be an easier access than what I have been hearing. If it doesn't have that big of a following on github than why would LG care. At this point it is a niche inside of a niche. It doesn't make a lot of sense to make sure you have blocked this very obscure tool.

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

Yeah but if loki is locked wouldn't they go after safestrap as well? Safestrap every android enthusiast has at least heard of.

[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
I read that one, im looking for some white papers or an initial walk through on what your looking for or whatever. I mean if someone was new to this but was an experienced coder, too lazy to have to take it and goof around with it, brick their phone several times to figure out all the ins and outs. A tutorial for someone like that is what im looking for. I have to do coding all day. I don't want to come home and brick my phone and have to go to work the next day with a 4s in my hand because i am attempting hardware mods on several of the other android phones i have.

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

We all know that's coming which is why i have Ubuntu on two of my phones and why im so excited about Ubuntu being the next great phone OS. Google has been telling us for the past two years that they were going to propriatize Android, that's why we have to **** around with flashing gapps now. Let Google sell out Android, it doesn't matter to me. Im not saying i don't like Android but im going to go with the OS that will allow me access and Linux will hopefully not try another Red Hat box up. Enterprise is one thing. Phone OS is another.

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

Im just hesitant to try the loki because it can't be as simple as it is described on that github page. And if LG has put safe guards there to block the loki exploit im afraid that im not knowledgeable enough about it to see the pitfalls and i will brick this beautiful phone. I am more interested in what LG is looking for to allow the recovery to be flashed successfully. Why isn't anyone talking about that. I would love to help test this shiz but I would want a bit more about how they actually did it for another device, like the G2. Im ready to start testing my ROM and the recovery is what i am lacking for the ROM and kernel tests.

I mean the loki patch looks really simple doesn't it? Oh who cares im going to try it and see if i can't throw that G2 twrp modded a bit on their. I can put my One back together if i brick the phone. If its too bad Ill just take it back up to AT&T and exchange it for a new one. They are always good to me because Im the one that roots their phones and flashes ROMs on them.

AFAIK,if i root,i cant update through OTA right? It will say that the phone is rooted etc,Correct me if im wrong
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
It still tries to push through. If i would have had the file in the right place i think it would have pushed through. I did get the error message but it said to download the OTA and try the update again. It is still sitting up at the top giving me that update ready to install message. I have been getting a trace trap error in PureBasic or i would tell you exactly what's in the OTA.
[LG G Flex] iamtha1:
Anyone figure out how to get rid of the notification for the latest update for att so annoying
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Do you try shaking your phone really fast back and forth?
[LG G Flex] iamtha1:
Hahahaha. Very funny
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
So that didn't work then? I haven't figured it out yet. I'm going to try and pull the whole ROM out today and spin up a virtual of it, maybe I can work it out then for you.

Are you sure shaking didn't do it? I will strike that off the list as things to try.

So I just ordered this phone. Will be here Tuesday. First order of business will be to root. Does anybody know if the att flex is locked bootloader like some of the other phones out there.

[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
Sol at the moment
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Brandon this phone is great. But because it's so new We are still in the process of unlocking the bootloader. We are making progress but LG hasn't made it easy on us. The stock rom has some great features that will occupy your time whilst we get this beast unlocked. I will be bringing the q remote and the q slide into my rom.

Auto Prime has got a root access app that you can find here it you search for IORoot, and since you will be getting a d950 don't bother with any of the previous builds just go Strait to the IORoot 23 and you won't have any issues. It is really strait forward.

As for the bootloader, we are close but aren't there yet. Have patients and we will get it out as soon as possible.

IO Root for LG G Pro 2?

Hi, I was wondering if IO Root can be used for the new LG G Pro 2 as well? I gave version 23 a shot, and it said that no root available yet, but I'm thinking it's gotta be pretty similar to the Flex. Here's the information from the command prompts:

LG-F350K

KT

F350K10d

lge/b1_kt_kr/b1:4.4.2/KOT49I.F350K10d/F350K10d.1392779976:user/release-keys

Thanks!
[LG G Flex] hkfriends:
sorry, finally i can root my F350, thanks
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
how did u root F350?
[LG G Flex] hkfriends:
easy, just inject "ytiruces_1a_kk" (I believe LG KK version is all in common with this)

then debug each steps

.\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"

it seems the busybox is not compatible, so I use

.\adb.exe shell "mount -o remount,rw /system"

then working perfectly to mount /system with rw

thanks for your script..... F350K is working perfect (I will try to see whether it work with S or L as well)

I believe you can merge into your IOroot
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
interesting.. yes I can simply remove the busybox commands.

few more questions....

1. is F350 on 4.4.2 or just 4.4 ? because I thought google patched this in 4.4.2.

2. you used "adb push ytiruces_1a_kk /sdcard/ytiruces_1a" ? and after that you have adb shell root (#) ?

because I had tested this method for the D800 on 4.4.2 and no matter what they pushed they were getting $ and not #

I'm wondering if you added any other steps at all in there somewhere that I may be overlooking?

and then after pushing ytiruces_1a_kk you toggled usb from charge only to mtp back to charge? then got # ?

then pushed the rest of the files.. daemonsu.. su.. superuser.apk?
[LG G Flex] hkfriends:
1) 4.4.2 (with ART to choose)

2) Yes, once injected and then can adb shell root ok (need disconnect cable and re-insert)

3) I debug only the busybox is not working to mount, so I use the buildin mount to do and fine :)

the the rest is just change permission or owner
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
thanks for info. so now im stumped as to why this doesnt work on 4.4.2 on g2 :/

after you pushed ytiruces_1a_kk ... what was the very next step you did?

change usb charge to mtp then back to charge?

or did you toggle usb debugging?

or did you unplug usb and plug back in?

or something else?

(my g2 device doesnt have a 4.4.2 rom yet so i cant test myself and have to go through other people)
[LG G Flex] hkfriends:
I am all the way in charge mode (no MTP or storage )

once injected the file, just re-insert the cable so it realize the security file in place...

no special, the file is fit F350K model FW: F350k10d

I think it should work G2 KR version F320

There are some users in HK reported also OK in their K version... I am waiting any S or L to report
[LG G Flex] iamtha1:
So will this work on att flex when we get 4.4.2?
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
cant say for certain... my magic 8-ball broke. :silly:
[LG G Flex] hkfriends:
yes, I just lucky to try... but once for a jackpot :D
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
indeed! i will update ioroot today to include G Pro 2 F350K/L/S support. :highfive:

going to also add D956 G Flex and AT&T D800 10q support.

then more testing to try to root G2 4.4.2
[LG G Flex] tsaojam:
Hi hkfriends, I have the same model as you, but I am not so familiar with the process. Could you possibly outline a step by step walk through for people like me who are less savvy with the commands? Many thanks!
[LG G Flex] autoprime:

any suggestions?

edit: tried in windows 8 and it did flashed the super user but the root was not full. than what i did..

tried with 'V root' and kaboom! it did the trick i'm rooted with ' V root'

now time to flash spb mobile shell 3D just to check is it can improve the screen graphics
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
I think it has to do with at&t isn't pushing anything big like a android version change and you still have stock recovery
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
you have another adb device connected to your computer and there should only be 1(your g flex)

you might have an android emulator or blue stacks installed/running. you will have to disable it or kill it in task manager.

you'll have to figure that out... since its your computer. this is not an ioroot issue.
[LG G Flex] jacktackle:

I saw you ask for it ave that you think loki is patched, but i read the first 23 pages and didn't see anyone get it for you.

Hey guys,

since a few hours I got an LG G Flex (D955) - I suppose this is the European/German version of the device...

I read at the beginning post that my device will be supported by the root, but I want to ask a better as well - just to get sure.^^

So, my question: can I use this file to root my device?

SuperSu has the ability to unroot your phone, if you need to take any updates...

It's never a good idea to take any OEM/Carrier updates when rooted...

So when kk drops someday, just unroot with Su and then go forth with update? Much appreciated
