yeah, and the weather sucks here right now too. It was 18', headed to -6' tonight, without wind chill, driving on packed snow and ice on the way home and got the call that the roof was leaking because the gutters are frozen solid... We're taking the kids on a disney cruise and will be in Florida on Friday, so it better be freakin' warm! If I get sunburned, y'all can rub it in.

Lollipop Source

I was browsing the LG Open course Code Distribution site and noticed the source code for the D850 Lollipop on there. Was this on there before or is this something new that might be able to help us?

http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=d850

Called: LGD850_G3_Android_L_V20f
[AT&T LG G3] :
It has been up since the OTA day, but it's just the kernel source.

He needs this to make a kernel, but he'll still need the lollipop system dump for modem and some of our vendor, lib, etc. stuff.
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
In the responders defense, They prob don't even know what a tot or kdz is.
[AT&T LG G3] timmytim:
There's actually more than the kernel in that LP source. They also provided the proprietary libs and updated LG Application source in there as well. The zip package was over 900mb.

I compiled the kernel for sh1ts and giggles but all you get is the zImage and modules... no ramdisk.

I don't think this will work but in theory someone could take the d850 boot.img, crack it open and replace the zImage with the one I compiled. Then try to boot an international ROM with the new boot.img. KK and LP both use the 3.4.0 kernel but Im not completely sure what all is in the ramdisk.

Here are the kernel and modules that I compiled: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5c7ywT13T-MLWFoRXRYLW8ycTA/view?usp=sharing

[AT&T LG G3] timmytim:
IP of the AT&T OTA server serving the lollipop update .......... https://76.198.13.51

It prompts for a username and password. I wonder if they can be found by decompiling the software update or lgfota apk
[AT&T LG G3] loganfarrell:
This is just out of curiosity, but how does one go about finding the IP like that? Also, does the OTA file contain everything needed to start rolling out ROMs?
[AT&T LG G3] s1lentmage:
Using network software you can view all traffic coming from a specific device. In this case the device was the phone and when it checked for and downloaded the update the software (probably wireshark) could see all network requests. It is called a packet capture.
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
Good looks timmytim [emoji3]
[AT&T LG G3] timmytim:
I just checked for the ota while in an adb shell and ran a command called netstat. It shows you all of the ports that are currently sening and receiving traffic. It also shows packets sent/received and there was an IP with a lot of received packets on port 443 which is web traffic over ssl. I punched https:// and that IP into my browser and saw that it went to an att server called "some-subdomain.attcompute.com".

Also I ran an nslookup in Windows and punched in that IP which also confirmed that it was the same server
[AT&T LG G3] loganfarrell:
Thanks a bunch. And is there any news on decompiling the lg fota app to get that username and password? And does anyone know why the page says "cto" Is it possible that is the acronym for Chief Technology Officer and we need to find their at&t login info? Because if so, we're up a creek without a paddle. I'm willing to help in any way possible though.

UPDATE: Does the cache/fota folder not work as a means of pulling the OTA file? If so, I may have the file. Can anyone confirm the file size?

[AT&T LG G3] agriff:
I'm not so sure that grabbing the OTA is going to be the path to getting root on Lollipop. I did some work with the 10d to 10f OTA and was never able to get the file extracted. It's not like Samsung where you just rename the file with a .zip extension and I'm fairly certain it was encrypted, as I'm sure the _ to 20f OTA file will be. Still, even if you are able to get inside the file, you are very likely to see mostly patch files, and not complete apk s or a complete kernel. Unless you can run an OTA on an emulator then I don' t think you're going to be able to do anything useful with what's there. If you catch a major lucky break, then you might get the complete kernel in the OTA, but that would be close to a miracle.

The 1st time I took the 20f OTA, I was on 10f, rooted (with SuperSu installed in /system/app and SuperSu Pro in /data-with Settings applied to retain root after OTA) and had the stock 10f recovery. The OTA ran without issue. When the phone rebooted with Lollipop, SuperSU was still installed in /system/app (but not within a folder-as changed in Lollipop). The su binaries were still installed in /bin and /xbin. SuperSu was visible in the app drawer, but when I opened it it stated that it could not access the binaries and root could not be obtained. Stump Root thought I was still rooted though no apps that require Superuser permissions worked.

Being that the way SuperSu installs differs on Lollipop vs. KitKat, and the fact that I was able to take the OTA and still have some traces of Superuser installed in /system, I think if there were a way to pre-install SuperSu in the Lollipop fashion, prior to taking the OTA, you might be able to come up still rooted after taking it. I just haven't been able to test it yet. I'd like to see if some of those more capable at this than I give it a shot.
[AT&T LG G3] timmytim:
I've had the ota since it came out. THe only thing I was able to open it with was binwalk but I was not able to get anything useful out of it. Anyway, me and another guy have been working on root for over a week without luck. We tried injecting it in to the ota process but it didn't work.

Apparently there is an exploit that someone has already figure out but they aren't sharing it just yet. Oh well......

lol, I dont think that means cheif technology officer. I also have the contents of that directory and have been working on trying with others to get root for over a week. As I said earlier, allegedly there is already an exploit in 5.0 and 5.0.1 but the this person isn;t sharing it just yet. I'll believe it when I see it though

Thanks for the info. This has been been a major pain in my @ss, too.

Can you either PM or post here the link to the where the guy says he's found the exploit? Thanks
[AT&T LG G3] loganfarrell:
The problem with that is that it requires updating to lollipop and then rooting, which means bump would be lost in the process. Am I right?
[AT&T LG G3] timmytim:
In the underworld and I'm not at liberty to say. It's a rumor so far so I wouldn't think too much into it.
[AT&T LG G3] agriff:
Initially, but with root on Lollipop someone could dd if ... and pull all the Lollipop partitions, and then create a zip that would only update the necessary partitions to run lollipop, skipping the BL, and leaving Bump intact

[AT&T LG G3] esimon311:
I took the OTA while I was rooted on KK.. No custom recovery installed... The OTA installed and rebooted.. I lost root of course and MOST of my tweaks IE Xposed and what not.. Most some of the Xposed g3 tweak box modes stayed I had the menu bottom next to my recent apps tab.. And if I remember correctly one or two of my status bar nods were still present.... I have since restored top stock and took the its again to get a baseline feel for Lollipop. But im thinking about trying to replicate this again....
[AT&T LG G3] cline2:
That sucks! I am staying with KK for now til someone finds a way to root it.
[AT&T LG G3] loganfarrell:
In the event that that isn't fruitful, are you still working on root via your own means or have you exhausted all your resources already?

[AT&T LG G3] loganfarrell:
It's good to hear you're at least trying. And since you're the only one to have heard about the exploit, what's your prognosis? Is it likely a hoax or does the guy seem legit?

[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
It could maybe be possible, BUT you`d have to root which would then make you no longer able to update.
[AT&T LG G3] loganfarrell:
Not necessarily. People replied here saying as long as recovery was stock they could update rooted. Root is obviously broken in the process, but his goal is to simply update it seems.
[AT&T LG G3] objektive_1:
Question for you as a non-dev here. Let's say you can get your hands on the OTA, KDZ or TOT for the D850. What would be the benefits that this would bring for let's say AOSP roms? :o
[AT&T LG G3] southern87:
Not much because they need source code that they will never get for say like the camera. Propriety stuff. They will destroy you over it too lol.
[AT&T LG G3] peaceburn:
heh stupid ota

Just so you know, if you download the OTA from AT&T but postpone installing it, it'll autoinstall in less than 24 hours :)

happened to me last night - downloaded the ota, rooted to be able to grab the ota files to look at them, and this morning pulled the phone out of my pocket in the middle of updating to lollipop :)

Should have deleted the OTA from phone last night :) now i gotta revert back to 10d with the tot file.

I read that some guys were able to update OTA to Lolli having TMobile SIM in. I've just returned to factory stock 4.4.2 from Candy ROM. "No updates available" and I tried to change system date couple times and restarted. Still nothing. What's the secret, pals? Please let me know.
[AT&T LG G3] splitfiredaewoo:
We're unable to update because we don't have an AT&T SIM. I'm in the same boat. Best bet is to wait for someone to figure out a way to update without OTA.
[AT&T LG G3] Barsky:
I, as well as others got the OTA update on an unlocked D850 with a T-Mobile sim in it, after doing a reinstall of stock D85010D. It never updated to D85010F and instead went directly to D85020F. I had to wait a little while for the OTA to come to me.
[AT&T LG G3] badboytw:
Exactly what I'm trying to do lol.
[AT&T LG G3] alexsoin:
Please tell us how you got OTA? I'm on stock 4.4.2 and 10D no available software update. I'm with TMobile sim and don't have working/active AT&T sim. Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

It seems like it depends on baseband. I reverted to stock 4.4.2 and 10D. May be it's not a proper one. There's a number of people who reported OTA Lolli update using T-Mobile SIM in D850.
[AT&T LG G3] loganfarrell:
Seeing as root alone doesn't seem to be blocking the OTA from completing, what's stopping someone with the D850 using TMO sim and pushing the contents of someone else's /cache/fota folder? Is there any risk in that? Because I'd hate to see these people living without an update if they want it. I have the files in my Mega already, but I'm reluctant to link because I don't want to brick anyone's phone. Anyone know if it's safe?
[AT&T LG G3] timmytim:

[AT&T LG G3] shayneflashindaily:

[AT&T LG G3] loganfarrell:
Not per the results of several people on this thread. See below ?

It seems TWRP is the determining factor. If you restore stock recovery and are just rooted on KK, the OTA process goes smoothly, that much seems to have been established. One of my friends did so on their D850 and it worked for them too. But I don't think it's been tested using the OTA files from a different device as a fix for the TMO users not getting the OTA.
[AT&T LG G3] peaceburn:
Yep, I downloaded the OTA while still on 10d, rooted and next day the ota auto installed on me. Stock recovery.

Hmm. Do you have the link to the page? Curious.
[AT&T LG G3] hitekredneck:
I don't think the lack of a TOT file will stop the powers that be from finding an exploit, if they have the device in hand with Lollipop pre-installed on it. Stranger things have happened.

[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
Thanks timmy
[AT&T LG G3] loganfarrell:
That's just the final means of achieving root. First, the process over there requires leveraging a stack overflow to use the System UI privileges of SurfaceFlinger to use 4322 to elevate the privileges to root. If they finish that over there, it very well could work for us as well with little to no modification. I'm actually following that thread for a friend that wants to root his Note 4, and I have been following it since the beginning. They've done a lot of device-specific research over there, but the current focus appears to be the final one and is applicable to all devices up to 5.0.

On an unrelated note, does anyone know if writing to the SD card (external) is still blocked in Lollipop? Just curious if I'll need to use the SDFix tool if I update soon.
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:

This may seem like a silly question, but could TWRP be tweaked so that the update could be applied without the stock recovery, or the stock recover modified? My understanding is if we could install lollipop over top TWRP we can root using recovery, right?
[AT&T LG G3] southern87:
In theory yes. We can't even open the ota file though lol. The other file in the download is an O file that i think either decrypts it and or extracts it.
[AT&T LG G3] GroovyGeek:
I like KK better than AOSP lp... Period. Found the notification themes on LP too intrusive. The default setting with balloons popping left and right is darn near ridiculous. Toned it down as much as I could but still could not get rid of the white balloons in the notification drawer. They take up too much real estate and are too distracting. Plus WiFi was wonky and the responsiveness of the touch screen was at times just not there. But when the UI worked it was marginally more responsive than KK. If and when stock LP is rooted I may have it another try. I remain mystified why anyone but Nexus owners are willing to out up with the idiosyncratic behavior of CM, PA or any other AOSP flavor for the sake of a bit of eye candy.

I have a question about rooting before I get the lollipop update:

The lollipop update just became available on my phone. I don't want to update because I would rather root and install cloudy g3 rom. I have a few questions:

-I'm concerned about the phone automatically downloading the update without my consent, as I've heard has happened to a few people. Can I get around this by removing the SIM until I flash the cloudy rom?

-Will the cloudy g3 rom eliminate ota updates, even though it's based on stock rom?

-does anyone know if the g3 kit Kat rom adds the brightness and volume sliders back to the notification menu, like the other carriers?

-how long before we can expect someone to find a root for lollipop on the d850? The international variant was rooted pretty quickly, right?

Thanks for your help.
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
1. Why would you remove your sim til flashing? You wouldnt have any service... Thats sort of pointless.

2.youd need to flash cloudy 1.2 kitkat theres no ota on cloudy..

3. Not sure what you mean? Kitkat has always had that. In custom roms like cloudy anyway.

4.no telling they will find root when they do.

I personally only dont run stock due to the amount of changes and junk on the D850
