I'm looking for this since it started yesterday. I do read, and read, then read. Says don't flash these if your device/version isn't listed here... But

May I flash H810 10G (AT&T) on my H810PR 10A_02 (Claro) ? What's the risk? It's reversible? Or you suggest me to wait for a final, 1-click the tool?

Thanks in advance.
[G4 General] zPacKRat:
Maybe the extraction failed, the .img file is almost 5gb uncompressed.
[G4 General] StuMcBill:
I've got a mac with parallels and windows xp set up.

Is there any reason this wouldn't work on this configuration?
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
My H811 extracted img was around 4gb's.

OP needs to post MD5's to avoid any bricks.

[G4 General] tylerw1369:
This happened to me. The file had to not have copied over correctly. The final file is 4.6 gigs so you need to have a large file in order for it to the correct one. I had to kdz back to 11a and do it over and it worked perfectly the second time.
[G4 General] DonJuan692006:
I used this on my VS986 with no problems. I removed my external SD card during the process. I put it back in after everything finished and it's being read just fine. exFAT file system.
[G4 General] planedoc:
Exactly what i had to do, kdz back to 11a. I think the update (11A) i had already taken was corrupt as i had several other things wrong with the phone including auto-rotation. Thanks for all the input and help!:good:

TWRP for the H811 here: http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-g4/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-touch-recovery-t3164874
[G4 General] Rydah:
To revert this I just KDZ back? On the H811 is there a way to disable OTA updates without losing WiFi.

[G4 General] dysfunkshun:
Exactly as I said, freeze the app with titanium backup. I didn't say uninstall any system app. Ever.

Never go full potato.
[G4 General] LancerV:
Did you read the first post? The part talking about flashing a 4gb file...... So yeah download stock file and kdz
[G4 General] planedoc:
I guess there is something wrong with the extraction process with 7zip...i guess i got confused since part of the tar.gz after extraction, the .tar was 4gb...

EDIT: for some reason, there was only one file after extraction. i had to extract the . tar file to get the .img...i guess i was doing something wrong. who knows...
[G4 General] karendar:
This does not work and here's my rationalization why:

The command you're trying above is actually while IN the fully booted OS (hence your use of adb shell). Thus, all mount points and partition references are loaded and created.

The exploit in question runs through the bootloader interface, which does not handle things the same. You're using a very stripped down OS instance and using a diagnostic port to access this, which has a limited command set.

I can safely say that your above suggestion does not work, I've tried it and I quite honestly think the devs who found this exploit would not make things more complicated than needed, thus their command is the best solution available IMHO.

The only thing that is driving me a little nuts is trying to figure out what the H812 variant needs to input as count= to be able to extract the system partition and not scrap my phone when I flash it back. I'm able to extract the system.img, I'm able to inject SuperSU in the image, but considering I have no KDZ to restore the phone, I am holding off until I can have some expert input on this. And I think everyone should as well especially if they don't have a KDZ to restore their phones...

CONFIRMED WORKING ON ATT H81010g

root confirmed this walk through guide was extremely useful thank you to whoever posted this http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-t...with-drivers-on-windows-quickest-setup-75174/

also can we install exposed now that it is rooted or do we need an unlocked bootloader?
[G4 General] dawgpound6985:
For the devices without a KDZ, couldn't we just create a system.img dump as a backup and reflash that if we needed to back to stock. It won't be as pure as a KDZ but it should work right? Or am I simplifying it?
[G4 General] STIKID:
thanks alot guys for all the hard work on getting root out, although I think I am gonna wait till there is a root method for vs98610b. don't feel like taking the ota unless I have to. keep up the good work [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] [MENTION=1157052]thecubed[/MENTION] [MENTION=6053822]IllegalArgument[/MENTION]
[G4 General] rightonred:
We Tried something like that in the G4 root testing forum. Something about an selinux context silently blocking changes to mmcblk0p53, but apparently not mmcblk0 ... or something like that. Looks like I have some reading up to do.

I Also learned that if you use dd to pull the first meg or so off mmcblk0 and look at it with gdisk, you can get a nice partition table layout, which is useful for ripping or flashing partitions.

from my Verizon VS986:

Partition table holds up to 56 entries

[G4 General] itc518:
Lol, I think that is helpful since the post lists out how to gain root step by step.
[G4 General] autoprime:
hey guys. IRL duties have taken all my time so far this weekend.. have a bit more work to finish then I can get back to adding new devices.

for those asking if they should upload their "xyz" system image that hasnt been rooted yet... yes! don't ask.. just do it :) even if we (codefire) don't root it ourselves... it still gives the community a new system.img to work with. For example... on AT&T, Sprint and Verizon.. there are multiple SW versions.. while we only released the most recent. I'm sure there are some users who do not wish to update to the latest firmware and want the older system.imgs rooted. And when uploading.. try to use some sort of permanent hosting solution if possible.. maybe like androidfilehost or mega or... something.

There MAY be a way to use the most recent imgs while on the older sw (I know some of you have mentioned getting secure boot errors or something similar if on say.. 10B and use the 11A system). But before having anyone test that.. it'd be good if we had system images for ALL sw versions (For USA carriers). For all non-USA devices.. all OTAs are still 100% safe (for now) and do not upgrade the bootloader version (the bootloader itself gets updated but the "version" is still at "0" while USA OTAs are now at "1".

So.. im not sure...

do we have a Sprint ZV4 system.img posted?

do we have a Verizon 10B system.img posted?

do we have an H812 system.img posted?

Do we have the earlier AT&T system.imgs posted? I think they had a 10E and then something even before that.

So any users still on those older SW versions... it'd help your fellow users to post those system.imgs.

Haven't forgotten about intl users. Most of the intl versions have KDZ's so we can just pull stock system.img from there.. so it's not as pressing for you guys to post your system.imgs as I can grab those when time allows. But what intl users CAN do is check out my KDZ thread and check the spreadsheet to see if the KDZ for your model has been added yet... and if not.. please add it! This allows the community easy access to all KDZ's. Only takes a minute to add your KDZ to the list.

For anyone impatient.. you don't really need us to make system.img... you could dump your system.img from your phone then root that system.img and then flash it back.

Or if you wanna get fancy.. those who have root.. you could now customize your system.img.. making tweaks and then you could release that system.img as a "rom"... a 5GB rom ;)

ok.. back in a few hrs.. hopefully see some new system.imgs for the USA variants. :good:

yes, you can do exactly that. All the more reason for someone to post the system.imgs I have asked for above.
[G4 General] itc518:
Lol I can't get over how many people are asking for info that's already in the op. It just goes to show how many people are not paying any attention at all.
[G4 General] TonyStark R.I.P.:

Hi autoprime,

I'm all for dumping a system.img from the H812 Telus variant, but I am unsure how to get the proper section from mmcblk0.

If anyone can just help out with that portion (what the DD command would look like), I could get it done fairly quickly.

Thanks!
[G4 General] biff6789:
Same here. I'll dump and upload Verizon 10B right now if somebody can give me the proper command
[G4 General] Dantenios:
In the same boat, though for the wind 10B version. :)
[G4 General] autoprime:
and F500 is still in OP.. not sure anyone's posted that.

[G4 General] siraltus:
H811 variant here, did a factory reset, then flashed the rooted system image, worked flawlessly. Thank you! However, now I have this weird issue. When I try to turn on the Mobile Hotspot, I get a pop-up saying "Unfortunately, WiFi has stopped working" and the ON/OFF toggle for the HotSpot stays off. Then, when I try to turn it on again, this time I get a toast notification saying "Activity is not exist this device." So it looks like it's looking for another application that's missing? The only apps I froze in Titanium were the T-Mobile apps (My Account, App Source, Adapt Client, and MobileMoney, and Mobile TV), but unfreezing them doesn't fix it. Funny thing is, if I put in a non T-Mobile SIM card (my G4 is SIM-unlocked), then trying to enable HotSpot results in a "Unfortunately, com.android.settings has stopped" error, but the HotSpot actually turns on and runs after dismissing the error. So it looks like the HotSpot toggle is calling something that has been deleted from the ROM? What is it?

EDIT: FIGURED IT OUT.

I tried flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 using Flashify (as per instructions in the post!) and I think it flashed the recovery to the wrong partition, wiping its contents. I guess it was a hidden system partition that contained something that HotSpot needed. I KDZ'd back to stock without wiping user data, then flashed the rooted image, and HotSpot works!

So... DO NOT USE FLASHIFY FOR NOW!

[G4 General] Negan:
Well I'm about to try and see if i can root my system.img now and in the meantime I'll upload it to AFH in case you guys still need or want the 812 version. Hopefully doesn't take too long since I just upgraded my home internet to be hopefully faster!
[G4 General] kmcphee:

Quick question. How easy is this root method? Im a bit scared of running the method since it seems a bit complicated. I dont have the phone yet but i am thinking about getting it now that there is a root method available. Any idea if a one click root is in the works and when can i expect it. I am new at this and really dont want to brick the phone as soon as i get it.

Thanks in advance for the responses to my post.

Hello, I also have a H815P, however I am not in South Africa. I am in MX. This is my software and hardware

information (see images). Is your software information similar? or do anyone knows if it is going to work in my kdz version ? Also, when an OTA update comes, will I be able to install it with no problems? ( i know I will loose root of course). Finally, does every feature activates with this international kdz? because with my current kdz I can´t change lg themes or keyboard themes Thank you.:good:
[G4 General] dawgpound6985:
You just reverse the commands of the flashing while in Send Command prompt. For example here is how to extract the AT&T version:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 seek=65536 count=579584 of=/data/media/0/system.img

^The code above will create a stock System.img on the internal SD Card of the phone which is close to 5 GB in size. Keep this as the backup just in case you want to revert back.

Here's how to flash it back to stock:

dd if=/data/media/0/system.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=579584 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

^This code assumes you put the system.img in the root of your internal SD Card.

Think of the "if" command as read from this location and the "of" command as the write to this location...
[G4 General] user787:
Thanks & thank you for the reply.
[G4 General] BrunoSlivar:
Will it be one click root or something like that?

powered by LG G4
[G4 General] zPacKRat:
did you read the OP? this was released because it was difficult to release the actual process in a one click, so they opted to release pre-rooted system images. The process is quite simple if you can read and follow directions.
[G4 General] kmcphee:
Really easy. Just follow the directions to the t. But when you download the file you might have to twice extract it

[MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] [MENTION=1157052]thecubed[/MENTION] here's what I did with my buddy [MENTION=4488450]ptmr3[/MENTION] with my system.img (812)

I cloned the Archikitchen to quickly unpack it and added the latest 2.49 supersu to it. Then I repacked it with ext4fs and simg2img tools using command

*sudo ./make_ext4fs -s -l 512M -a system new.img sys/

I did get a new system.IMG which I have yet to flash. Is this what you guys did to inject root?
[G4 General] biff6789:
I think you would also need to add the libsupol.so library file, as well as the su and supolicy binaries, but I'll defer to the devs for verification.
[G4 General] tungkick:
great hehe^^
[G4 General] Negan:
Oh yeah I have everything for root added to all the proper folders inside the system. I was being brief with that part. I imagine that they expect us to know how to add supersu properly to the system if we're attempting this so I just omitted my explanation on how I added it
[G4 General] flamadiddle:
Two dumb questions:

1. Does debloating affect the system.img I pull from my phone? I don't know exactly what that tool does to disable apps.

2. How do I patch in root to the system.img once I have it?
[G4 General] tungkick:
why not dd if block system?

UNROOTED Stock Verizon 10B System Image - Ready for the devs to do their magic:

Smaller zipped version: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347781775

Full non-zipped 4 gig img file in case of issues with the zipped version: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347781719 (AFH says the file is only 2 gigs, but it properly shows as 4 when you start downloading - I verified the MD5 to be sure)

Again, this IS NOT ROOTED. I'm just providing here so that the devs can patch it for the many of us on Verizon who don't want to OTA up to 11A and hit the anti-rollback counter.

Apologies for the delay on the upload. I originally uploaded to Dropbox then realized you guys would probably kill my bandwidth limit and get me temp banned, so I had one of my old developer buddies upload it on their AFH account instead and I had to send it to him first. Thanks!

Trying to root my Sprint phone. Following all directions, I get to the step to put in in "id" (didn't use quotes) and I get a # in return, then I type in the final prompt, ":dd if=/data/media/0/system.rooted.LS991ZV5.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=557312 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0" but nothing happens. After I input that I get a # immediately and that is it. I reinstalled drivers, checked the port, I don't know what I am doing wrong.
