The flaw, which was introduced into the Linux kernel in version 3.8 released in early 2013, resides in the OS keyring. The facility allows apps to store encryption keys, authentication tokens, and other sensitive security data inside the kernel while remaining in a form that can't be accessed by other apps.

http://perception-point.io/2016/01/...f-a-linux-kernel-vulnerability-cve-2016-0728/

In this write-up, we’ll discuss the technical details of the vulnerability as well as the techniques used to achieve kernel code execution using the vulnerability. Ultimately, the PoC provided successfully escalates privileges from a local user to root.
[LG V10 General] WorldOfJohnboy:
What exactly are you worried about losing? If it's only app data for ones that are installed after the fact, Helium does all of that. Obviously, you can't freeze apps, backup system apps/data, but I don't have any issues there. In fact, I came from an unlocked HTC One M9 and used it to restore to my V10 without any loss.

Try disabling the apps you don't want to run... that was the first thing I did and I can go a full 24hrs of normal use without charging. At least the internal memory space isn't an issue... most phones only give you 32gb to start, then about 20 useable after bloat and OS.
[LG V10 General] Herr der Klinge:
Simple reasons:

1. I like to test different custom roms (hope we got a many of them).

2. If i damage my phone (e.g. It falls down), my Data will ne lost. Happened to the phone before my G4. The G4 felt into my aquarium)... No problem because of my daily backups.

It's a good feeling to have them in reserve....

Hey, if it works, I am cetainly not going to bark about having to leave my phone overnight to make Root happen.

Obviously it is not the most ideal method, but I think most everyone here would be willing to give up their phone for a few hours to get a chance at Root.

Many of us have backup devices we could use if it is that important to to have a phone in that time.

To be honest, I have not even read the details of the exploit yet. So there might be more to it than face value.

Sorry everyone. Wish I had more time to help with this at the moment, but I have some important personal matters that sprung up on me recently.

Once/if things smooth out here in the next few weeks, I will try to put some effort into helping this along. Jcase is a good guy, knows way more than I do. Still I will do what I can on my end.

Good news everyone!

I was able to make to allow oem unlock appear in the developer setting. Anyone know how to get in the fastboot yet?
[LG V10 General] Absolutezero91:
OEM Unlock showed up on mine without doing anything special. To my understanding the fastboot unlock just doesn't work.
[LG V10 General] Hsinghr:

[LG V10 General] sodequis:
I haven't bought the phone yet waiting on either confirmation of root for VZW or the next new top of the line non-Samsung device that works with VZW to come out and have root.

I wouldn't buy a computer that denies me the administrator rights. Why should my phone be any different?
[LG V10 General] vrnsr:
My previous device was Asus Zenfone 2.

There is an ASUS OFFICIAL REP that listen and answer to XDA forums!!!

Open bootloader? I'll arrange an official unlocking tool!

When will we update to 6.0? I will get a road map...

OMG LG needs to learn a lesson or two from Asus when it comes to dealing with advanced customers... After all we are the ones that ppl actually come to when they need an opinion on which device to get next...
[LG V10 General] Absolutezero91:
We're a niche market, that companies like LG and Samsung don't care to loose. The overwhelming amount of phone users could not care less about rooting their device, if they even know what root means.

I just posted a video to show some of you guys who don't know to disable system apps. Even apps which can't be disable in application manager.
[LG V10 General] MechaMorph:
The carriers are the ones who tell LG to lock the bootloader and make it unlockable (thus why T-Mobile is unlockable). In terms of the Zenfone 2 you mention...that phone wasn't sold by any carrier. So yes the chances are very high that it would be completely unlockable since it was purchased directly from an OEM. It's just like buying a "developer edition" of a phone from HTC or Samsung.
[LG V10 General] brentsalinas714:
Sprint is also unlocked bootloader as well. T-mobile and sprint your good, Verizon and at&t your not and locked up.

Confused

I have a lg v10, from t-mobile

I am trying to recover deleted txt msgs, and all the methods seem to require me to ROOT my phone.

I am kinda new to the root process and am curious am I heading down the right path ?

Is there an easier way to get the deleted txt's back without rooting ?

I have already put it in developer mode.....

:eek:
[LG V10 General] emtownsend:
Are you using Verizon Message+ or any other similar SMS app that backs up the texts? EDIT: Sorry, just noticed T-Mobile... Anyway, do you back them up to begin with?
[LG V10 General] thawookie:
I use Chomp SMS, it has a backup restore option but it directs me to download "sms backup and restore" from play store,

I have not set it up to backup any texts unfortunately :(
[LG V10 General] burnsky05:
Looks like Verizon LG V10 is getting marshmallow rather soon

http://www.lawyerherald.com/article...-6-0-marshmallow-update-t-mobile-expected.htm
[LG V10 General] WorldOfJohnboy:
IF true, then I wouldn't take the upgrade... that is unless someone leaks the official TOT along with it, then all bets are off!
[LG V10 General] burnsky05:
At this point, root seems to be way off. You can get access to the .KDZ file by downloading it using the Verizon software assistant although I'm not releasing my file since there is so much userdata files built into the KDZ and unless I had a fresh Phone out of the box, don't think I can get around it. I'm new to all of this myself but even with the information that I've found and released...nothing has come from it yet. At least I held onto my LG G3 fully rooted so not having root for this phone isn't a big deal but I've learned this time, next time it will be a Google released phone, dev phone, or a company that gives and allows the phone to be unlocked.
[LG V10 General] CTXz:
Is the loader locked?
[LG V10 General] eric5949:
On the at&t and Verizon versions, yes.
[LG V10 General] vrnsr:
Also all international varients H960* h961* and the korean version all locked. Say what you will but I don't think it's the carriers fault. I think that this is the default setting and tmobile was the only carrier that asked to change it.

Also while Samsung is mostly easy to root/unlock dispite the notorious efuse, LG makes it impossible. This is not the industry's standard
[LG V10 General] CTXz:
I've written to the lg dev mail. Let's see with what they will come up this time
[LG V10 General] WorldOfJohnboy:
Remember this: http://www.phonearena.com/news/HTC-says-it-will-no-longer-lock-the-bootloaders-on-its-devices_id19138

Yet all Verizon HTC devices remained unlockable via HTCDev. If the manufacturer doesn't lock it, the carriers will (with exceptions of TMobile, etc.)

The only way LG root is capable is if the official TOT file is released. There's no official/suitable ability to recover bricked devices.
[LG V10 General] emtownsend:
So, correct me if I'm wrong, but "unsanctioned" rooting requires us to find and exploit a weakness, correct?

Is there some way to examine a unit that has been allowed to unlock and use that? Or do the carriers & manufacturers encrypt or otherwise obfuscate that method as well? I mean, I know it can't be THAT simple, but in this day and age of high power computing, one would think we could find some sort of crack in the armor. Or not. :) I suppose it speaks to the maturity of Android if we cannot find a weakness...

So, when a particular unit IS allowed to be unlocked and/or rooted, it is simply a yes/no flag, is it not? (sorry for my ignorance. I don't want to derail this thread, so any link to a layman's explanation is appreciated).
[LG V10 General] eric5949:
My understanding is that one guy has a way to do it probably, but he won't until there's a way to recover the phone if something goes wrong.
[LG V10 General] snotrocket555:
Jcase can have mine if his bricks. Is of no use to me unrooted, bloated and full of battery draining features.

Any legal people here willing to draft up a document waiving Jcase of all liability if he willing to release what he's got?

At any rate to whomever is working on this I'm grateful.
[LG V10 General] burnsky05:
Nice gesture but he, since the beginning has been looking for a .TOT file to fix a soft brick when he does start working on root. I've been able to find a .KDZ for the Verizon variant but it has to much userdata listed in the .DZ file for me to out it out there and since I don't know what is needed and not needed, cannot put personal information out for everyone to have access to. I've been looking into trying to take the .KDZ file and make it a .TOT but I haven't come across many good/well made tutorials that can do it and then once again userdata is included in the file...
[LG V10 General] vandrooo:
What if you took a backup, factory reset so you have no personal data, grab the clean KDZ and restore from your backup.

I know its a long process so if you aren't up for it post the instructions on how to get the KDZ and I'm sure some of us can pitch in.

[LG V10 General] WorldOfJohnboy:
Just a bit more... From previous instances of JCase's work, I know that he wouldn't release an exploit method to the public if 1) The process was not easy/stable to do or 2) If all users don't have an official way of recovering from soft bricks.

We can all say that we don't care if our phone bricks, but there are always the few random people (that always seem to mess things up, BTW) that would ruin it and blame JCase for them bricking their phone. JCase is a nice guy, but I can imagine even he would be PO'ed about people flipping out because of their own incompetence.

---------- Post added at 09:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------

Who's your carrier? (This is what matters.)

I know for a fact that carriers are the main driving force behind the locked bootloaders. HTC had pledged a couple of years ago to allow unlocking of all their bootloaders. They even stepped up further when they said that even a phone that was unlocked would still be covered under their "Uh-Oh" protection. Still the HTC One M9 Verizon was locked and (to my knowledge) still can't be unlocked without a Java Card.

Verizon (for example) doesn't want those still with unlimited data to be able to use WiFi Tether and using up their "precious" LTE bandwidth without any limitations (since they don't cap speeds). So they tell the manufacturers that if they want their phone released on their network, lock your sh__ up. What's interesting now is phones like the HTC One A9. It's CDMA-less, so I think Big Red is flipping out at the possibility of them being able to restrict phones from working on their networks that they really don't have control over.
[LG V10 General] DJ_Upgrayedd:
In the end, it doesn't matter anyways. My Verizon V10 is locked up and thanks to certain program(s) (which I won't mention, because I don't want to jinx it and/or ruin it for others), I am still tethering and using up their "precious LTE data"... and I'm on unlimited.

So, Verizon locking up the bootloaders is useless and they should just stop trying.
[LG V10 General] burnsky05:
Well I tried to use the Verizon software assistant to completely wipe my phone by doing a repair...this failed and upgraded my phone with a software status of modified. Doesn't look I'll be any additional help from this point. Tried to get the .KDZ file but doesn't look like it works that way...
[LG V10 General] ElitePA:
I updated to 11B the day it came out because I couldn't stand the fingerprint scanner with my case on. Software status has reported modified since then without any other typical actions done that may cause it to report as such.

I am curious of the validity of F600L root. I keep seeing threads that are closed stating the download link does not exist or is not real.

I have clicked on the link and can confirm the file exists. It is 1.8gb. However I canceled the download due to fact I was using LTE data and I have VS990.

So has anyone rooted their F600L? Like I say the file exists, I just don't know if it's real or fake. I may have VS990 but any steps to rooting any non T-MOBILE version is a step in the right direction.
[LG V10 General] venom_tan:
Euro market again ? How about the other region ? Fxxk lg
[LG V10 General] Xenomorphs:
I think the term Euro market is actually referring to the LG V10 models there. Such models can be of AT&T, Verizon, and the international models like H960. I strongly believe that they will at least unlock the bootloader of H960 and other international variants as they are not associated with any carrier obstacles.

Hope they will heed my request. But I really want the bootloader unlock for all variants. Maybe if they release an unlock for the international models, Jcase can figure out how to unlock the others using the same method or tweaking it a bit. Again, there is also the MM .TOT that can be exploited for LP.

If only LP can be exploited for all models, the chances of MM root will skyrocket.

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

LG does not make it impossible, at least in the usit is the carriers that request this, each firmware package designed to each carriers specifications. Bloatware, bootloader, radio, everything! If you are trying to put this on LG, or any other manufacturers, you are sadly mistaken. Also, you are a little of as far as root goes, on tmobile, all you have to do to root this phone is download twrp, and suoersu, type 5 or 6 lines into adb, and your unlocked, rooted, and have installed a custom recovery... All told much easier than Samsung...

[LG V10 General] Don_Pachuco:
This hope, wish, or dream has been going on for months, and 93 pages. It's very clear that no developer is even remotely interested in doing any for the Verizon variant. Everyone should just boycott Verizon and stick to it. After a year of seeing a dramatic drop in sales, maybe they'll remove their heads from their butts. With the quality of devs on here, and the fact that nothing has been done, we should just give up. Pledges mean nothing if no one wants to step up and do the work. On another site, I even offered to buy a device for a dev, but no takers. #ThrowInTheTowel
[LG V10 General] Threezees:
There wouldn't be any noticeable effect from Verizon's viewpoint. Honestly, who can blame them for locking the devices on their network? Root is great, I'd much rather have a device I'm free to do with what I wish, but it's not a deal breaker or I wouldn't have bought this phone. Sure, I check this thread every few days but I'm not helping the process so it's either patience or ignorance. If it comes great, if not, buy your own device outside of Verizon and use the network. I've used all of the big four and Verizon's coverage and service far exceed any other, at least in my area.
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
I agree to some end. A boycott won't work. The average v10 buyer has no interest in root, let alone even know what root is. We, the root seeker, are much to small a minority for Verizon to care.

However if have seen a few individuals offer up their device in the name of root and no takers. I mean people are actually willing to sacrifice their phones so we can all have root and no developer seems to care. Seems like these guys have nothing up their sleeves (neither do I). Jcase has stated he doesn't want to attempt because he doesn't want to waste money on replacement phones. Xda users have offered up their phones so he won't have to. So ????
[LG V10 General] bschuster:
Why are people stiring the pot on this?? It's not going to help pissing off the Devs! They are doing the best they can with what they have! I agree with [MENTION=3397573]Threezees[/MENTION] , I'm ok either way, and I will stay positive that maybe someone will root, but I'm not going to be mad, and I'm not leaving Verizon, already did that, and had ****ty service and slow speeds, really can't beat Verizon's network. #endrant
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
Not trying to piss of devs. Someone has stated they can give us root but won't try due to the high cost of buying new phones. Xda users are offering up their phones. What more is there?

Devs have free phones for the taking and aren't taking them. This is what they have to work with but for some reason aren't.

I can understand if root can't be done. Then they can't do a thing. But they have free phones offered. If I was offered a free phone I would take it.

That's my 2 cents. Checking daily for root news.
[LG V10 General] DeadlySin9:
Some people don't want to risk other's devices and their own just for root. It's that simple. Plus, what happens when the root has a chance of failure due to circumstances out of the devs control, but the users blame them for bricks anyway, knowing there isn't any recovery image available? Not to mention the money wasted or insurance fraud in getting those devices replaced. Different people are willing to go to different lengths, and we should respect that unless you can and will work on rooting and/or unlocking yourself.
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
I see your point. Just wondering why Jcase told this thread he could do it when he had no intention of actually doing it. He got all our hopes up.

I am not a dev. Just a user counting on XDA to deliver root. I figured we would have it by now considering this is not a Samsung device and it doesn't have KNOX.
[LG V10 General] lightweaponx:
If jcase said he can do it then I'm sure he can. He's waiting for a TOT plain and simple. He doesn't want to be blamed when someone bricks their phone if he releases a method before we have a way to recover from a brick. That's all there is to it guys so unless you can figure out root yourself or get us a TOT there is nothing we can do but be patient.
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
Jcase claims to be able to do it now. However he is waiting for Marshmallow, where dm verity could spell no root for no one.

I don't claim to have an answer. I am only a user, not a dev.

Gotta agree with Don_Pachuco #ThrowInTheTowel. Two months into owning this phone. Looks like root will not happen.
