An LG Rep told me by the end of this month for marshmallow release.
[LG V10 General] Absolutezero91:
That's what I was afraid of. That's gonna complicate root.

PSA to everyone, if you want root I would hold off on the marshmallow update.
[LG V10 General] KiRyah:
Yep I agree! Good point!
[LG V10 General] SuhasTheBest:
Did the LG rep say what model? Usually the the Korean version gets the update a month or two before other versions
[LG V10 General] brentsalinas714:
I was talking to him at at&t store in USA so cal and he had the v10 as well so he is talking about the h900 besides it's their flag ship so it would be asap imo.
[LG V10 General] dannieloco:
yeah, id hold off too on updating to marshmallow. I hope we get root by the end of the month. Im tired of waiting :(
[LG V10 General] ElitePA:
Same here. Someone please chime in with any progress they've made, I'm so eager.:crying:
[LG V10 General] MysteryEmotionz:
No progress will be made without a way to recover the phone in case of a brick. This is thread isn't for chatting. This thread is for people to pledge and add to the bounty. Unless your donating money or have access to the .dll and the .tot no need to post in this thread. It's the same **** over and over
[LG V10 General] ElitePA:
No need to be rude "Mr.Wait4SomeoneW/LowPostCountToPostToYellAtThem" ;like waiting for a small child to do something just so you can go all gestapo on them.

I'd pledge 20 dollars. More than happy to. But it's people like you that encourage people like me hold off on putting their names up on that list. Given the scrutiny pledge lists usually receive, I don't want anyone thinking "oh great another unworthy pledge from a 2 post account". Not to mention the 1000+ post/years+ accounts that never even come through on their own pledges.

If we had a verified escrow account or used a kickstarter type platform rather than a spreadsheet for God's sake I'd be among the first to type in my CC info. And I don't see your name on that spreadsheet either so your post bashing another post on the premise that I need to be on the list to have a little hope is even less useful than my post seeking information in itself. It's only value would be that it got me to the point that I'm suggesting such funding measures however I'm sure within the 70+ pages of posts there is possibly a good reason why there is not said funding types.

...And if there's not a reason then someone trustworthy make one and get it's authenticity verified by an admin. Let's see this 3k+ in a verified manner to get some devs mouths really drooling instead of having them have a false sense of security for their time and efforts. Also I am aware it's the TOT holding us back. Someone out there has it, let's start a pledge for the file itself and get it made public.

To what extent is this a problem? Do most phones have supported unlocked bootloaders?

I'm very nervous because I kinda need a new phone sooner rather than later, but I really don't want to get locked in to a stock ROM, no root, no nandroid backups, etc.
[LG V10 General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Your only "sure thing" device if you require unlocked bootloader is probably going to be the Nexus devices. The 6P looks pretty good!

The thing is of all the phone's I've owned only 2 (early days) had OEM supported bootloader unlock. The community here is what drives bootloader unlocks. They find exploits and bust through them. Id say wait a month or two if you want this phone but need to know what's going to happen with the bootloader.. It's going to depend on what developers are interested in development of this device plus how many of those devs get the device.

Matt
[LG V10 General] skyneon:
Yep just hope it will be unlock. I already start to think about sell it because of that
[LG V10 General] CB620:
The bootloader is locked out the box but can be unlocked... Already done.

Typed that essay and still can't refute what the man said.
[LG V10 General] MysteryEmotionz:
I wasn't yelling at you and I understand you have a low post count. That doesn't mean you get a pass from reading this hole thread.

It's people like me that phones get rooted, kernels, roms and other mods. Yes I haven't been active in sometime as I took a break from development cause my real life got crazy. It doesn't mean I forgot how to do things. Go ahead look at my profile and post started by me and you'll see dinner of my work. Also go check out the other Android having forums and you'll see some more of my work.

I'm just kind you and everyone else in this thread. We ask wasn't root buy the problem is I'm not willing to brick a phone I paid $600+ out of pocket for and I will not let anyone donate a phone for the same reason. Get the devs the files and we will have root. It's been said 100x now that without the .tot and .dll nothing will happen.

Even if I don't find root I have 100% faith in [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] once the files we need/want are available. The pledge is nice and if everyone lives up to there pledge then that's awesome but allot of us do it for fun as it's a hobby. We don't do it for a living and we are using the same device your using and we want root. So regardless of the pledge if there's an exploit we will exploit it and gain root.

Patience is key and everything I just said had been said multiple times. Sit back, drink a beer, smoke some pot and relax. When we the devs save something worth sharing then we will share it.

Hmmm. I just knew there was a reason I suggested that I would put $$$$ towards creating a fund for jcase to buy a test phone instead of running the risk of breaking his own phone. Funny how that works.

[LG V10 General] Dgsaxhitman84:
If [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] needs another tester phone why not get him one...we all have extra money and we all want root...so 1+1=2 right? Let's have him start the go fund me page and post the link I'm sure we can get him $500 for a phone from Craigslist or better yet a new phone let do this I'm in $$
[LG V10 General] jcase:

So c'mon LG, give us some of your tots.

On a more serious note I can't help but read that a tot will not likely be available until Marshmallow. However by waiting for Marshmallow we could possibly lose the exploit(s) and the chance to root. Sort of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.

Google fixes dangerous rooting vulnerabilities in Android

http://www.networkworld.com/article...erous-rooting-vulnerabilities-in-android.html
[LG V10 General] i42o:
I think that's exactly why there's no tot files. They couldn't run the risk of the v10 getting rooted due to these exploits and with marshmallow they have ability to introduce these patches and thus making it extremely hard to gain super user access.

If you want root buy a nexus is what I'm getting out of all of this.

Looks like its version 11b, I wouldent update until [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] or someone working on root says its safe. The update notes look minimal. I wouldent update unless it has a fix you need anyways.

[LG V10 General] jamesiaustin:
Just go to menu system updates and touch no thanks. Worked for me.. On verizon
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
Really? Mine doesn't ask yet. I just know update is available by checking system updates.

I wish someone with the know how would step in and tell us if this update blocks any root possibilities.

I want to update for fingerprint scanner fix but I want root so I'm holding out until I hear some info.
[LG V10 General] LBJM:
It only works for so long.. This is why root for non tmobile phones is important to manually block the system for check and aurto downloading the updates till will get custom recovery and if we are lucky an unlocked bootloader.
[LG V10 General] fire3element:
I would highly advise that everyone hold off on any Updates. The small gain of what few inconveniences an Update might address is not worth losing out on possibly the only chance to Root your V10.

Jcase can't tell you if "this" update will block what he is planning on using to attempt Root. No one can, and Jcase hasn't even tried to Root his V10 yet. And as a matter of fact, we don't know if what Jcase has planned will even work. Only he will know after he tires, which is why he is waiting for a TOT in case his phone bricks.

My point is... Root is not guaranteed. Don't get your hopes up.

In other news...

You can disable System Updates completely. One of the 2 Update apps listed in the Application Manager will not allow you to disable it. That has to be done through ADB and your PC.

I wrote up a guide here specifically to address everyone's concerns with the Update nagging, and to prevent any future updates from being downloaded/installed.

http://xdaforums.com/lg-v10/general/how-to-disable-updates-otas-t3289145

Its not that hard, and I spelled everything out to a T. Just follow it exactly and you have nothing to worry about. Pictures and detailed descriptions included. ;) :D
[LG V10 General] DJJasonK:
Can we bribe someone to leak the Tot? Is there a good chance that it will get leaked?
[LG V10 General] The_FNG:
With respect to all here, I'm going to withdraw from the "bounty" effort. I don't own a V10 yet, and since Hsbadr has posted a CyanogenMod (Unofficial) Marshmallow for my Note 4 DE, I'lll stick with it for an additional time.

Just to be clear, we don't need to get a tot file from the VS990? I had been researching how this would be possible, and found a link of how it's possible for the LG G4, and wasn't sure if this is still necessary.

I'm new to XDA, and any of the process of trying to figure out how to create root for a phone, but interested in helping however I can.
[LG V10 General] burnsky05:
Alright so the Verizon Repair Assistance now has the option for repairing this phone. Anyone know where and what type of files this downloads to the computer to repair the phones?

Ok after lots of looking around and some lucky timing, I was able to find the .KDZ file for the update VS99011B_04_ARB00.kdz

After finally finding this file, I was able to do some more searching and find a way to extract 3 files from this .KDZ

VS99011B04.dz -- 2.17 GB

LGUPCommon.dylib -- 1.02 MB

LGUPCommon.dll -- 2.69 MB

I'm not sure where this currently puts the forum at but I haven't given up. The next step I would like to do is, a full repair of the Verizon LG V10 (VS990) so that the Verizon Software Assistant is able to download the full .KDZ file of the phone which would be a much larger file and I'm only guessing would have more then just three files in it. Anyone willing to tell me if I'm onto something or just completely way off? I'm also unsure where to upload these files so that the download link is not taken down. Given this is only the update and not the full .KDZ file, I refuse to give up and keep trying.

After taking the VS99011B04.dz file and extracting the contents of this file, it seems that there is much userdata files within this file. So this must mean that I would need to completely wide my phone, download the update or full .KDZ before I can upload and share these files. I'm thinking that this data is being saved within the file to not lose any information during the update process and I wouldn't be willing to share this until I attempt a full wipe and see if the same file structure and userdata was included in a wiped version.
[LG V10 General] dbama1:

Getting Excited! Thanks for the hard work!
[LG V10 General] burnsky05:
Alright this is what I've been able to come across so far and I've had a few people ask me for this file so please give me some credit. Now I will say this is the first time I've been able to get this in depth on trying to assist with a phone. Also remember that this file was taken from the VS99011B_04_ARB00.kdz which I believe is the update that was downloaded from the Verizon Software Assistant on Windows.

I was able to download this file using the Verizon Software Assistant application. I found this file under C:\LGMobileUpgrade\LGMOBILEAX\phone

Once I found this file I was able to do some more research and came across this program

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2600575

Which I downloaded the program and used the .KDZ file to extract these files

VS99011B04.dz -- 2.17 GB

LGUPCommon.dylib -- 1.02 MB

LGUPCommon.dll -- 2.69 MB

Once I was able to use the program listed above, the program also allows you to extract the .DZ file into the attached photo listed as VS990.jpg

I downloaded a version of LG G4 .KDZ and did the same process, also uploaded a photo of those contents and they seem to be very alike. Just wish I knew if I was on the right path and giving out good information. Please let me know whether or not this information is correct or if it is not so that I can take it down and not misdirect anyone. Maybe someone like [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] [MENTION=5591114]i42o[/MENTION] [MENTION=2233713]fire3element[/MENTION] [MENTION=3601255]Evolutionmods[/MENTION] could let me know after taking a look at everything that I've found and give any additional direction or information....

I know the tot format, i dont know the kdz one. KDZ would probably work, but my phone is ATT.

Either way, new job now, less time for some months until things stable.
[LG V10 General] moejoe88:
Damn! I hate that. But I know life and jobs come first. I hope some of these other guys can pull off root. If not, I may have to sell this phone and stick with my G3. I'd love to help, but I'm a big dummy when it comes to this stuff.
[LG V10 General] burnsky05:
The only issue that I'm running into is the driver running while being in download mode. I've tried Windows 8.2 and Windows 7, with many different usb cables and ports with no luck. The driver says error 10 cannot start. If anyone could help me out with this part, I might be able to dig a little deeper...I really need someone's help here with the commands to try and root the phone once the driver loads and runs properly. From what I've read we also need to be able to clear the laf file somehow to make this happen. Still new on this but trying to make things move along for a change.

I'm tempted to sell this phone and cancel my contract for the first time in years of being with Verizon and go with project fi from Google.

The only thing I've been able to find is the KDZ file within the Verizon software assistant which I was able to extract a .DLL file that I cannot seem to get to work with any LG program. Even with trying to do a repair via the Verizon software assistant it wants to upload the new update so it seems that root may have yoo be based off of the updated version instead of the base version which is where most rooting has been found...

If I knew how to take the bin file of the .laf, clear it, place it back into the KDZ file and updated it without the chance of bricking my only phone, I'd do it.
