[G4 General] clockcycle:
I've uploaded and posted it for public download and also linked the devs in PM. Havent seen my PM read, don't know if they got it yet or if it doesn't work, ect. We'll just have to wait.

You did adb push, or adb sideload? Push is the command you need to run.
[G4 General] Norcalz71:
I was not planning to upgrade as I do not want to update the bootloader count. I believe 10e is still at 0 while 10a is at 1.

Can anyone confirm the proper method to determine if your bootloader is at a 1 or 0 with ones current software version?

I wanted tobsay thanks to all of you for your hard work with root and also the person who rooted the vs986 10b system img. I will be donating when i get paid.

Sent from my VS986
[G4 General] sublimnl:
one page back. not yet, unless you want to use the eu version, which will lose you exfat support. just wait a day or 2 for proper image, the stock image was just uploaded a few hours ago and someone will root it shortly.

Anything for H818P?

Thanks for you efforts. But is there anything for H818P (Dual SIM International Variant)?
[G4 General] sublimnl:
second post in the thread!
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
The international files in the OP work for this phone. I have it too. It works fine. not sure why you think otherwise?

You had posted a few page back that you are working on H818N india image...

Just wanted to know have you already rooted it or its still in progress?
[G4 General] jagman96:
OK so I think I've read all 1083 posts in this thread. I picked up my new H111 phone today and lo and behold it is on version 10d. I don't remember seeing a rooted system.img for 10d. I've searched the thread, too. If it hasn't been done yet, I would be happy to create and upload my system.img if someone would be willing to detail how to do that. Thanks in advance.

How to Generate Rooted Image i've got my System image file.

Sir, Please can u help me How to "Generate Rooted Image"...?

I've got my System image file. Am using "LG G4 H818N V10d_00 INDIAN DUAL SIM VARIANT".

:(
[G4 General] water-:
So anyone else confirm on this beyond 'at your own risk'? Obviously the 10c is the standard, but for those leery about losing a potential bootloader exploit by upgrading to 10c--and who still want to root 10b, is this running just as solid at the 10c root?

just looking for a little more context before being a guinea pig on this 10b image.

cheers
[G4 General] ekitiboy:
Thank you for your quick reply. The Rooted System.img Download Link is for H818 10D. However, my model is just H818P. Can I still use the image?
[G4 General] nykdpk:
Boss am going to try Root my H818N V10d with H818P V10d system image file.

[G4 General] anurag549:
[MENTION=6034199]nykdpk[/MENTION]

Hopefully that will work.. i was going to try that myself though was waiting for a rooted image specifically for H818N V10D India.

Anyways do let me know how it works!!
[G4 General] kishenpj21:
I can confirm H818P 10D system IMG is working for our H818N 10D. No problems till now. But if you can wait, better wait for H818N 10D rooted img. I myself will flash that, once its available here. :)
[G4 General] nykdpk:
Started the Process will let you know soon.
[G4 General] sublimnl:
10d is the software version. That post says H818P 10D, not H818 10D. You should be fine, but back up your phone first
[G4 General] nykdpk:

That is for the 10b software for the Verizon variant. If that is what you have I can confirm it is working fine.
[G4 General] cowsquad:
The poster above is correct. If this process is difficult for you. Then you should not root your phone
[G4 General] BrunoSlivar:
And why is it someone invented one click root? Funny guys

powered by LG G4
[G4 General] 6bowmans:
The OP stated in the first post that no one has permission to one-click this root method. Autoprime further clarified this in post #1000. Either man up and follow this method and root your phone (there is a video in the second post) or don't - your choice. However, stop pestering the devs for one-click root.
[G4 General] BrunoSlivar:
That is a answer. Tnx

[G4 General] Jraider44:
Worked great for me... Running it now
[G4 General] Sean473:
I still think this method is kind of too dangerous. All my Sony phones had 1 click root and even the LG G2. Seems to be laziness on the point of devs to completely rule out a one click method. Also seems to be totally backtracking on what they said about having one in the works and would be released in a 2-3 weeks. Disappointing but I'll live without root. I prefer not risking my $670 phone to be bricked. As far as I'm concerned, there have been too many bricks with this method. If it's more automated, I'm fine doing it but I don't trust doing it manually.
[G4 General] poczynek:
This is why developers stop developing.
[G4 General] donbudafuko:
Is there anyway us us991 (us cellular) can get some love pls ?..thank you
[G4 General] budeone:
It's actually may look scary but it's very easy. They have it step by step. If you just follow the steps it's like a 3 min process
[G4 General] Sean473:
No disrespect intended to devs however I'm just laying out my thoughts. As far as I've heard, they can't claim the bounty if there isn't a one click method. This is really speaking a half way method.

Additionally, I do have my suspicions about them not releasing this method for so long and suddenly being incentivised to do so by that Vietnamese dev so that they could claim the bounty. Some reasons were given by them however I have my doubts. This isn't the time or place for this so I will end it there. I just hope they release a one click method if not it's not worth the risk for me. I can live without it.
[G4 General] jerflash:
Dude doing these things to your device has always been at your own risk... It's stated in pretty much every dev or root or bootloader unlock thread on this site. If you don't like it or think something is to dangerous for you... Don't use it....especially if you can't afford to buy another phone if you brick yours.
[G4 General] Sean473:
Do you think I'm stupid? I do know all that. My point is of all the stuff I have ever seen, this method has been the most riskiest and led to a lot of bricks due to the manual nature of it. If it was automated, it would be much easier and safer to do.
[G4 General] Ser Gilgoroth:
I am not sure anyone is implying you are stupid, however, automated is likely just as risky, as you still must select the correct model ect. As others have said, it does read like it is a difficult thing, but it is super simple. I found the correct img and commands, and followed their directions. I had root in under five minutes, no brick. As long as you can follow something step by step, it's no big deal. I think the hardest root I ever had to do was for my HTC Hero with the chin. That was something around seventeen steps, was the first phone I rooted, and was daunting as hell. I followed their steps, and it was rooted in no time. So yes, there are risks, but at the same time, if you have all the right info (regardless if it is automated), you can do it.
[G4 General] daClaus:
What's the problem? What risk?

Even if it's not a one click root it's well described and the step by step guide is more than enough. If your device and your firmware version is listed, just do it this way and it'll work - as it did for me. You don't even have to type the commands by yourself, just copy them and paste them into the command window.

Honestly said, it's easy - and I'm no tech nerd - and it works. But if you're scared about it, don't do it. Your choice.
[G4 General] BrunoSlivar:
Tnx for video

powered by LG G4
[G4 General] grneyez:
If it's not for you, or you don't have the skill set to read and follow simple directions, than don't do it.

Stay stock and move on, No one owes you an explination, especially the devs who released the root method.
[G4 General] clandes:
Worked perfectly with my H815 Vodafone branded phone. Luckily I use the same SD card I had in my G3 and in order to make it work back then I formatted it to FAT32. In order to make TB use the external SD for backup I had to use the app SDFix and now I can use my external SD without problems. Soooo happy to finally be rid of annoying ads and being able to make decent backups :good::good::good::good:
[G4 General] 6bowmans:
Ahh...the famous"I mean no disrespect" followed immediately by disrespect.

As far as your suspicions, my answer to that is "So what?" My guess is that these guys - real smart guys by the way - had root figured out months ago. My further guess is that they spent the last several weeks attempting to find a simpler method (a one-click if you will) to root. Perhaps this part is harder than you or I know - I am certainly firmly standing in the idiot crowd when it comes to development. It is obvious that Team Codefire knew that the Vietnamese developer had also figured out a root method. Their hand was forced and either they put out what they had or let the other developer eventually figure it out. As far as the bounty goes...my God, what a pittance..and again, so what? It is not like Team Codefire was under contract by the XDA community or had received a dime up to this point, and a one-click method was never a part of the deal anyway. These guys bust their balls in their free time so that we can all eventually perhaps take control of our devices away from "The Man" and enjoy everything that android and the device has to offer. That's worth a little risk to me, if not to you, then so be it. However, calling out the devs, for whatever you think their sins might be, is a foul in my book.
[G4 General] sheamolt:
Heh. Yeah I'm going to call this extremely easy... maybe not as easy as a one click, but compared to my samsung fascinate (which was a day long experience with a lot of frustration) I'll take this way any day of the week
[G4 General] clockcycle:
Anyone able to inject root on that f500l system.img I posted or need something more?
[G4 General] clandes:
I'm also not such a big fan of ADB or Fastboot but this really was super easy. Especially as you could actually copy/paste most of the commands instead of typing the whole thing all by yourself.
[G4 General] Tech_Savvy:
Im speechless wit all the ppl *****in directed towards the devs... Wow... Im beside myself.. how ppl who dont contribute a single thing to xda think they have the authority to bad mouth the devs...

Its the least they deserve... Be polite please... Be like jesus wud want you to be..... Cheers :)
[G4 General] Svartsyn333:
The biggest challenge is indeed simply following the steps one by one. Not for me, but apparently for many others. Not only in this case but in general. :p
[G4 General] nrage23:
A one click root method will give a much higher chance of bricking your device since you would not be controlling what is being flashed. Comments like this are the reason developers stop doing things like this for us mere mortals. If you cannot do the 4 commands it takes to root as stated several times in this thread then you should not be rooting your devices. You want a hard way to get root and unlock a bootloader do a search for unlocking the HTC Rezound. I had to use a paperclip to connect 2 contacts on the phone during the process.
[G4 General] bosox86:
Does anyone yet know if returning to stock completely restores a stock system and boot loader in an 811 phone? Phone has completely crapped the bed, drops calls constantly, WiFi is broken will not connect, and Bluetooth broken will not pair. Factory resets don't fix the problem. Tried several networks and BT devices.
[G4 General] ericlee2005:
how about H818N 10B hong kong :(
[G4 General] Yipicayer:
Hey guys any development for the Rogers H812 variant? Just can't wait to root this phone!
[G4 General] Ser Gilgoroth:
Not sure, all seems to be working fine here. Did you use Titanium to freeze things? Or remove any apps?
[G4 General] bosox86:
Had the issue since before root. Was hoping it was a disabled or debloated app causing the issue. Unfroze everything and the issue persists. Media audio works but will still pause and drop from time to time. Calls don't work at all. The weird part is I tried on several devices and cars and they display that the phone has successfully paired. Shows signal and battery levels but calls refuse to work.
[G4 General] Ser Gilgoroth:
Damn, that's a lot of weird going on there. Hopefully someone with more knowledge is able to assist you with this. Best of luck!
[G4 General] bendsley:
^^ This guy.
[G4 General] Ser Gilgoroth:
Well this trumps the 17 or however many steps for the HTC Hero. Go HTC?
[G4 General] :
If this process for root is hard for you...then why are you rooting in the first place? It's been way harder on other devices, not to mention flashing roms also causes risk of bricking.

various methods for rooting system.img have been posted... here's the newest of those posts on xda - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62097182&postcount=446

Just make sure you use the dd commands for your exact model. commands can be found in OP and 2nd post of this thread.

no reason that every system.img cant be rooted now ;)
[G4 General] kuku2004:
Hi All,

I ran the following command to get a system dump from my current system (after connecting to device using SEND_COMMAND):

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=55296 count=529920 of=/data/media/0/system.img

file created is seen as a 4.3GB Volume.

but when i downloaded the appropriate KDZ file from LG, extracted system & merged it using LG Firmware extract i got a 4.7GB Volume.

when comparing files inside the IMG between the two I got the same amount of files & total size (~3.3GB).

Is there something wrong with my dump? why is it seen as a 4.3GB volume rather than a 4.7GB one?

OK, guess i got it: parameters for dd are bs=8192, count=529920 so it becomes 4.3GB, but still why is it different than th LG Firmware extract tool output?
[G4 General] phineous:
Thanks for that link!

I'm uploading unrooted images of H81010b, H81010e, and H810PR10a-310-410 (hopefully properly extracted thanks to your latest instructions) to androidfilehost.com now. If I have time today I'll follow that post and upload the rooted files too.
[G4 General] jerflash:
Wish i could do it for the H815 10b TWN variant i posted but sadly do not have Ubuntu VM currently installed. If anyone else has the time it would be great
[G4 General] funkbuqet:
For what it is worth, this is the easiest root method I have used. Maybe having the basic steps like enable USB debugging on a different page is a bit too complicated for some. :confused:

I really don't like one-click methods though and try to avoid them. I would rather implement the exploit myself so that I understand (or at least know) what it is doing to my phone. But that is one of the main reasons I root my phones. To better understand how the system works, and then muck about with it. :D
[G4 General] BoldCasual:
I'd be willing to give it a shot, following the tutorials that have been posted. Is the DD command for 815T same as for 815?
[G4 General] ShermCraig:
Can anyone confirm that if I root and then later unroot (should I need to return for exchange) there will be no indication that the phone was tampered with? I've been trying to find this out for a few days now. Thanks!
[G4 General] Ser Gilgoroth:
I agree. I tried a toolkit on my N4, and while it was 'easier', it felt like something was incomplete. I went the full manual way with my N5. Hands on is a much more rewarding approach.

[G4 General] Usraek:
Silly question... but have you downloaded the drivers from the link in the OP?
[G4 General] ShermCraig:
I figured that, and correct me if I am wrong, but aren't their instances where the bootloader can be re-locked should the need arise? I imagine its a case by case/device by device basis, but it's possible, no?
[G4 General] grneyez:
Acording to LG'S Developer site it is not possible.
[G4 General] ShermCraig:
Yep - saw that. I was assuming that if it did happen, it would be via some exploit or clever dev! :laugh:
[G4 General] phineous:
Make sure you don't have any other phone software running. Stuff like HTC Sync, etc. Also use a USB 2.0 port, not 3.0, and plug directly into a port on the motherboard. You may want to delete any drivers for any other phones too.

Problems getting phone to communicate w/Win7 in D/L mode

I had these issues too. It turned out I had to uninstall the 3.14.1 drivers and use the LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.22.0.exe in the OP.

I also had some Samsung ADB drivers still installed from my S4, whcih had to go too. Once I ripped all of that out and the installed the LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.22.0.exe, it worked very well.

The only issue I saw was SuperSU defaults to 'Prompt mode" which would't take input. I had to switch it to "Grant mode" to get it to behave.
[G4 General] :
I had no issues doing any of this on windows 10.

In reguards having to bring the phone back...I rooted my g3, flashed custom roms...water damaged it...all I did was return to stock, then switched out my back plate with a sprint one (I'm a sprint repair tech...) And then sent it in. They said thanks for returning it in perfect condition lol

I successfully rooted my VZ VS986 with the 10B pre-rooted image, but noticed when any apps first tried to call SuperSU, it prompted asking for approval but touching the buttons on the SuperSU app did nothing.

I had to go directly into SuperSU and switch it to "Grant" mode in order for root apps to work.

Has anyone else seen this? Does SuperSU's "Prompt" mode work on the G4?
