LG K51 (LGE LM-K500UM) Android Pie (9) here. Have an oddity in recovery

frst_status is 6

As far as I can recall, the number has always been a 3, just like the LG recovery and API OP are always a 3. What does 6 now mean?

Also it appears there is no fastboot on this device. Rebooting to bootloader just reboots the system. The only available firmware is for the T-Mobile version or Verizon, both of which are Android 10. I have not been able to get LG flash tool to work, then again I just discovered the LgUp.dll in the T-Mobile firmware. Commands in LAF (download mode) pretty much return permission denied except for reboot.

Just wondering if this thing can ever be rooted. It does support OEM unlock, as per build properties. Even then, flash is locked as well as vbmeta. ?

nah dude its not possible to unlock it with fastboot. the buttons will simply not work like on my LG Leon h320. since if you have your phone rooted.

[Android General] gojo123:
if the phone has version 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 then use this trick but if its newer from 5.1.1 like he said then please dont.

Also You have to check on what port is it. if its COM3, you use COM3, use the port.bat as run as administrator and i think it will check. but theres a other way too but i dont remember
[Android General] realadry:
I'm trying to root a LG L90 (D405) on stock Android 5.0.2 (so I can flash custom roms afterwards)

The problem is when I try to start download mode it shows "secure boot error". Then the scrren goes black and windows tries to mount like 20 different drives (all except one fails).

Although I can connect to the COM port afterwards and get the serial console, executing the necessary command does nothing (screen stays black and cmd console shows nothing)

I also tried all the other root methods, everytime they rebbot the device to apply the patch, it reboots normally instead of fastboot/download mode.

[Android General] high247:
I doubt it because a random Korean gentleman supplied us with the Send_Command.exe file. He is smart though, so he might still know.
[Android General] 6ril1:
Please read, read, and read....

In theory (i'm too busy, and i can't test for now), with a LP D855 just rooted with this new method, if the bootstack is downgraded to KK after being rooted, bumped recovery should work (and kernel must be bumped too, for being able to boot with KK bootstack)

if you do not understand that, you'd better not try anything and wait for anyone else make the try for you

Root + "Bump'd" boot.img and "Bump'd" TWRP Is Possible for This New Method

Hi Friends,

Tested and it works (Root + "Bump'd" boot.img + "Bump'd" TWRP). Tested on an LG G3 D858HK (Hong Kong variant, dual-SIM). I took the liberty of documenting the steps to help minimize the repeated questions: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59353788&postcount=41

Hope this helps!

PS: I learned this concept at the time when I was experimenting how I can get "bump'd" TWRP aside from root via [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION]'s thread last week. This is how I was able to come up with a how-to thread ("downgrade" approach) for the D858HK.

So what I did here was to test the same learning and apply it to this new, "no downgrade" approach, and it worked!

Kudos to [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] for putting up the "no downgrade" approach, and for [MENTION=2308854]6ril1[/MENTION] for also pointing out that you need Kitkat aboot.img (no need for the rest of the boot stack, just aboot.img) to be manually flashed to the device. By doing this, you can get "bump'd" boot.img (Lollipop boot.img) and the "bump'd" TWRP to work. :)

Edit: wait it does say busy box at end of command
[Android General] jonstrong:
Feeling like I must have done something foolish - hoping somebody might have some constructive ideas...

I've got a VS980, and had applied the forced OTA's to get up to lollipop / 39a -- all of which worked beautifully.

I followed the directions at the beginning of this thread, and was able to root the phone with no problem. Download mode worked fine, ADB fine. I backed up the laf partition and copied it to my PC, and then nuked it. Did the normal approach to booting back into download mode, and the phone dutifully switched to fastboot mode. So far, so good.

I then tried running "fastboot devices" on the PC (from the lollipop root dir on the PC that I had created, with with the fastboot command copied into it. Fastboot devices only returned a question mark.

I tried rebooting the phone, and the laptop -- and now when I attempt to start up download mode with expectation of the phone entering fastboot mode, it will no longer enter fastboot. I do the following:

I make sure USB debugging is checked

USB PC connection is set to "Media Sync (MTP)" (as opposed to choices "Charge Phone" and "Camera (PTP") when I connect the USB cable.

Power the phone down

Hold in Volume Up and, while holding it, plug in the USB cable that's connected to the laptop

The LG logo comes on for a few seconds and momentarily disappears -- which is where I'd normally expect the attempt to go to download mode (and then drop into fastboot instead)

Instead of going into fastboot, the LG logo reappears and the phone proceeds to boot back into Android.

Any thoughts on how I might restore access to fastboot?

(still have stock recovery, btw)

[Android General] high247:
Yeah you wrote the command correct. What I was saying is it looks like you didn't have busybox pushed to your phone because in the dialog after you entered the command the script shows it only installing SuperSU.
[Android General] jonstrong:
OK - well...I don't have fastboot working again yet, but I got download mode working again. Oddly, when I used ADB to try restoring the laf image, it seemed to complete ok and reported 335544322 bytes transferred, but download still wouldn't come up. So...I used a root explorer and navigated into the "by-name" directory found found a 22 byte laf file... I used the root explorer (FX) to copy my backed up copy of laf (laf.img) into the directory, set the permissions (777) and was now, once again, able to boot into download.

Time to get some sleep! (I have to get up in 5 hours). I'll give this another try tomorrow... In the meantime - thx VERY much for the time and effort putting this root method together (and/or sharing it). Nice to have a rooted VS980 on lollipop!

[Android General] detonation:
Successfully used this to root the VS980 39A Lollipop leak. Note that for Verizon devices (the G2 atleast) you need the verizon specific drivers. Initially I had issues getting my laptop to recognize the device in download mode (step 8). KDZing in download mode worked in the past, but I found out my verizon drivers were outdated. I grabbed the latest drivers from LG's site (LG VZW United Drivers 2.20) and everything worked then.
