I think I saw that too but given Verizon's track record of updates, I wouldn't expect an update soon. It would be nice though.

Can someone check the legitimacy of this? I found this while searching reddit. I'm at work and on my phone so I can't really do much with it right now

I ended up posting that link in the 99 page forum that ended up being closed. They pretty much blew me off and did not even acknowledge it. So I can not tell you if it is legit or not. At the very least it could be for the g4. I could be wrong though.
[Verizon LG V10] PUERTO_RUK:
I'm going to try looking at it tonight if I have time. Don't worry about the people who don't give input. There will always be those, and they'll come around blasting out info as if they've done something useful. Just keep being helpful. It's appreciated.
[Verizon LG V10] burnsky05:
Alright so it comes down to the fact that the previous thread was looking for a .TOT file so that the devs could start working on root although with all of the recent things that I've seen and read this won't happen. This would have to be a .KDZ file that is complete for restore. This file would have to include everything...radio, boot img, software and so on. I was able to to find a version of the .KDZ file by using the Verizon Software Assistant although using the .KDZ file with the LG Tool, it did nothing. And I was not willing to share this file, since when I took the file apart, there was to much USERDATA included in it. I have listed in the other forum how I was able to get the .KDZ file, how I took the file apart and matched it up with other .KDZ files and found many matches in the structure but was not able to do anything with it. So that's where the other thread stands.

Also as a side note, threatening, yelling, throwing a fit just because this phone has yet to be rooted is no going to do anything good. This is why the other thread was closed finally, until further and confirmed progress has happened. So we all need to work together to make this happen. Devs do not want to purchase additional phones or use the insurance to replace a bricked phone, because this results in fraud and should not be used for this issue.

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

I took a look at this file and wondered what could be done with it. I'm not sure how to take a .ZIP file and change it over to a .KDZ or .TOT file to use it with either program. The file structure looked good but I'm mainly new to this and like you was giving all of my help and findings to the thread with not much response but all we can do is continue to try. I'm curious to know how you were able to pull these files without root or an unlocked bootloader to see if it can be done again on the updated version as well. Then if the pull system/commands work, maybe there is a way to inject a file or root into the system files. There was also some talk about being able to clear the .laf partition although without root, I've read is nearly impossible...

Here's the posts that I had in the other thread about what I was able to find thus far. Just getting it to work is the problem...

I'm willing to factory reset my phone if it means we can make some progress. I'm using Helium to backup all my info and apps, so I'm not worried about that. I read your post in the other thread, and I gotta say you made some progress for someone who isn't a dev. Thanks for that. My schedule is hectic so I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to everything, but I'll do my part
[Verizon LG V10] jasongrandstaff:
Android should be open source i just wish the v10 vs990 was easier to make that way. Lol
[Verizon LG V10] PUERTO_RUK:
Android "technically" IS open source. However OEM bootloader's are not. Therefore carriers can dictate to OEMs to lock/unlock them. It's all within the carriers.
[Verizon LG V10] jasongrandstaff:
That's why we need root to get the full benefit of running a Linux based software.
[Verizon LG V10] PUERTO_RUK:
Oh, I agree completely
[Verizon LG V10] jasongrandstaff:
I honestly think the dev feels exactly the same way. I think they're waiting for the marshmallow update first though.
[Verizon LG V10] burnsky05:
Has anyone seen this and possibly verified the file? The posts claims to have the .KDZ file from the LG dev site...this could finally be a start

[Verizon LG V10] burnsky05:
That file was obtained the same way that I spoke about back in Jan in this post. I could get the file to flash and there was to much userdata included in the file which is why I didn't release it. Maybe he has a clean file. I'm downloading both files but my guess is the one from the LG site would be the better choice.

[Verizon LG V10] jasongrandstaff:
Any luck on the kdz file yet??
[Verizon LG V10] rustypie:
I also uploaded the DLL I pulled from the 11B KDZ that actually works with LGUP. It's the same DLL that [MENTION=2722142]burnsky05[/MENTION] extracted but it has to be renamed to LGUP_Common.dll to get it to work with LGUP. Link is in my thread.
[Verizon LG V10] burnsky05:
Any screen shots of LGUP and the flashing process? Thanks for the correction on the .DLL file
[Verizon LG V10] rustypie:
Here's a screenshot for you of LGUP actually open with my phone connected... I have no need to flash a KDZ at the moment so I actually haven't flashed it. There's actually another LGUPCommon.dll floating around that actually works with the Verizon V10 and LGUP but the version is a lower number than the DLL that's extracted from the 11B KDZ. You can see the DLL version number in the lower left hand corner of the LGUP window. The version in the screenshot is 1.0.5.1. The version of the other DLL is something like 0.0.2.3. Also I could see that the creation/modification date of the DLL with the version 0.0.2.3 was June of 2015. This newer DLL is from March of 2016.

I'm gonna stick with the newer DLL cuz newer is better right? :cowboy:
[Verizon LG V10] tripey:
I think this is great, and Marshmallow is starting to roll out.. Internationally.... But are devs even interested in this anymore?
[Verizon LG V10] gunnyman:
SO what's the difference between a KDZ and a TOT?

I assume a KDZ can't have root injected because it is signed by LG and can't be modified ( is this right?) Can a TOT be created from a KDZ and how does a TOT file actually help us get root?
[Verizon LG V10] burnsky05:
I've spoke to a few devs and with this new news coming out...I feel that yes some are still interested
[Verizon LG V10] tripey:
From everything I've read on that 99 page thread, somebody already has root. They need the tot file incase the device gets bricked.
[Verizon LG V10] PUERTO_RUK:
[MENTION=2722142]burnsky05[/MENTION], I meant to ask you if that LG flash tool gave you any options for the bootloader. I highly doubt it, but just out of curiosity. I haven't forgotten about being the guinea pig. Soccer season is starting (I coach U19) and family life take up a lot of time
[Verizon LG V10] burnsky05:
I don't believe I've seen anything about being able to flash just the boot loader....still new at this and learning as I go but trying to do my best to contribute and keep the forums going with a positive outlook.
[Verizon LG V10] tripey:
Nice that's good news then.
[Verizon LG V10] burnsky05:
[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] doesn't have root from my understanding, he does own the AT&T variant of the phone. He said he would not attempt root until he had a .TOT file to be able to restore his phone in case of a soft brick. He did not want anyone to donate a phone or to keep buying phones running into a bricked device. With the recent changes and seeing that the .KDZ files are coming out finally, I'm hoping this changes things.
[Verizon LG V10] tripey:
Oh I see, I misunderstood then. Yeah hopefully this will change things.
[Verizon LG V10] burnsky05:
That's great work [MENTION=5972487]rustypie[/MENTION] this could mean good news
[Verizon LG V10] PUERTO_RUK:
[MENTION=2722142]burnsky05[/MENTION], man you've helped keep this thread going strong. This is what XDA used to be about. Not the trolling that's gone down in recent years. I saw a thread where someone made progress on getting the unlock option for the bootloader to show up in settings, but they hit a wall after that. Might have been in that closed thread. I'll search for it again
[Verizon LG V10] burnsky05:
Yea I saw that as well...it didn't do much, it basically was taking the outline of the T-Mobile developer options and applying it to the Verizon layout but it did nothing at the time.
[Verizon LG V10] asialove2013:
You can extract dz and dll file from KDZ file.

and then you can use LG Flash tool to flash the dz format firmware instead of TOT file.
[Verizon LG V10] tripey:
I'm rereading some of that thread. I'm curious about just gaining root access. This whole time, are we only concerned with the bootloader? Can we just get root access without access to the bootloader?
[Verizon LG V10] burnsky05:
There was some talk of needing access to the boot loader to be able to clear the .laf partition to be able to get root, if I'm understanding it correctly.
[Verizon LG V10] tripey:
Ahhh OK, I think I read something about the partition. I didn't (still don't) completely understand it, but yeah... I remember somebody talking about that.
[Verizon LG V10] jasongrandstaff:
I feel like the devs are still interested. And with the available kdz file out they will be able to make a tot variant and establish root. :)
[Verizon LG V10] sonofevil77:
Oh man!

Verizon LG V10
[Verizon LG V10] tripey:
Hope so. I like my rooted Note 3, but after test driving the V10, it showed me how slow the Note 3 is... so now I'm needing an upgrade. If the v10 never gets root, I can always get a Nexus. No removable battery would suck, but hey.. I guess better get use to it.
[Verizon LG V10] mwebb34:
I just bought the Verizon v10 with hopes of root, I'm like most people I can't afford to switch really I get a corp discount and if got a lot of data and most of its promo. I was thinking since this is a LG then maybe there's hope for root. Oh well I got 13 days left to decide. If all goes well this root thing will work out for the vzw v10, if not then guess I'll grave the N3
[Verizon LG V10] Edde3d:
This is definitely worth keeping an eye on and fingers crossed for root.

[Verizon LG V10] evolver10:
Root is not gonna happen within 13 days. We're talking months if ever. So if you want a phone you can root and flash on then return that V10.
[Verizon LG V10] ufkal:
I bought this phone back when it came out. Previously every phone I've had has been rooted. Sometimes before I got out of the store it seemed like. This phone however, has not made me want to root at all. Do I miss having ad blocker? Yes! Do I miss the options to uninstall bloat? Absolutely. Do I regret buying this phone with it not being able to be rooted? Not on your life. I really enjoy this phone. I am very surprised. It was a good purchase, and if I never get root, I don't think I will be horribly disappointed. Again, the only thing I really really miss is ad blocker. That's it.

Have a great and groovy day!
[Verizon LG V10] mwebb34:
What would you suggest getting. I like the note 3 it's def an option. I would wait on the new nexus 6 to drop but I can't wait that long,lol.

---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 AM ----------

I bought the v10 yesterday and this phone is badass! I also have the nexus 6 rooted with twrp recovery. The only thing I dislike about the n6 is there's no ad card slot, so I bought the dash micro otg mini usb adapter it fits on my key ring and that takes care of my problem.
[Verizon LG V10] fordmanck:
I feel the same way as you, although if root comes, I'll definitely contribute to it. I use adguard paid to block ads. It's like 9.99 but it does a pretty damn good job.

Nexus 6P
[Verizon LG V10] mwebb34:
I don't know i might just keep the v10. This phone is freaking awesome! I love the camera and the features on this thing is amazing!! My nexus 6 is rooted and boot loader unlocked and my v10 does way more and it's not rooted. I would like to root and BL unlock so I could flash a custom kernel so I could overclock, the v10 in my opinion is a power house, battery life is really good but could be so much better if only...If this thing gets root it'll be the baddest phone on the market. Again the just MO.
[Verizon LG V10] R4NDR01D:
This is great news. I was just about to give up and take that update tonight too!
[Verizon LG V10] ufkal:
which update?
[Verizon LG V10] evolver10:
Has some cool features I suppose. Although the second screen is a bit overrated in my opinion. I actually disabled it. Have no use for it. Camera is awesome. I don't take many pics. So for me it's the Nexus 6p. Not crazy about an inaccessible battery but I'll sacrifice that for root access and ROMs.
[Verizon LG V10] mwebb34:
If I could finance the 6p I would have, but in order to finance I'm pretty sure you would have to get project fi and were I live I'd be lucky to get 2g on fi. Most LG devices can be rooted. I noticed the selinux status is official, is that the same as enforcing? Guess I'm gonna keep the v10 unless by some miracle, Verizon gets the new nexus 6 sooner than expected. I also have the nexus 6 so if I start root withdrawing I'll just grab it...I believe the VZW V10 will eventually get root. As for any future updates before it gets rooted I will not take, because more than likely Marshmallow will be enforcing if it is won't that kill any chance of root?
[Verizon LG V10] R4NDR01D:
The only one there is I think, the old one: VS99011B.

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

+1 that. I disabled the 2nd screen because it proved usless and that bleed was super annoying. However since it replaced the LED notifications I kept the "Screen Off" 2nd screen enabled.
[Verizon LG V10] sonofevil77:
I have a Nexus 6 and a 6P that keep me and my flashing addiction satisfied but I use my V10 more than both. My 6p sat on my nightstand for 2 months until a few days ago and now I'm back on this lol. Root would make the v10 perfect for me.

Another thing iv been having issues with, believe me or not! Iv been having data issues also I get notifications much much faster on my nexus 6 than the v10. I turned both devices off last night and when I powered on this morning, my nexus showed about 15 notifications. The v10 only showed 5, I got the notifications while both devices were turned off. Maybe iv not got something turned on to let all the notifications come thru? The data issue, I get 1x when I should be on lte

[Verizon LG V10] XAlexander_AlexanderX:
It's basically borrowed money. You could get it financed for 12-24 months. And yes, you can pay more than the set monthly payments. Here's an example of affirm. I used affirm to buy a mattress. I got a brand new $900 mattress and I got it financed 0 down, 0 interest, and financed for 12 months. I wasn't approved for the 6P. I think it might be because I never used it before and it's an electronic device but I was approved for the mattress. And I think it does a soft credit check.

[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 183.amir:
Hi everyone,

I have bought an HTC Desire 626 Dual-sim lately but it does not have all of HTC software installed and looks like stock android with changed icons to look like HTC.

It has HTC Blink feed and HTC dot case installed but it does not have sense installed. For example, it does not have the themes app where you can change the theme in HTC phones.

In settings -> about -> there is no indication of sense version unlike other HTC phones.

The dialer, messaging, camera, and etc. apps look like stock android.

My question is how can I know if the device is fake? And how can I prove it to the seller that it is fake?

Has HTC released a phone without sense before?
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Was it new or used? If used, it was probably just rooted and customized. For example, I also no longer use the Sense launcher on my 626 - I use a different launcher (currently testing out Google Now Launcher). If rooted, you can remove any app you'd like - even system apps...
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 183.amir:
It was new and it's not rooted. And it can't be a modified ROM. As I said it has all the stock android apps but with HTC icons. For example, the dialer app has the icon of HTC sense dialer but when you launch it, it is the stock android app. The settings page also doesn't look like the settings in HTC phones. And the home launcher has got blink feed in it and it has the famous clock widget on it too. However, there is no htc weather or htc clock.
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 183.amir:
It even has the 64-bit Mediatek MT6752 Chipset instead of the Qualcomm equivalent. Does HTC release phones without sense? Is there any dual SIM version of HTC desire 626. I checked the IMEI numbers on a website and it said that the manufacture is HTC.

This is probably an Asian model. I bought it in Iran.
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basilvirgo:
HTC...stop the non-sense

I do feel what you feel. I have a Desire 620G model, which has the same striped to the bone non--sense experience.

At first I thought that is some fake phone, but HTC made this. Why, you should ask them.

About the chipset confusion, they make 2 variants, Mediatek and Qualcomm.

Hope this brings some light to your questions.

Duck you HTC for making this phone...and forgeting about it. :mad:

Can i flash my X50 with it, and the same question goes for WM5. I cant find any rom that has the standard X50 in the title. I dont want to brick it so im being alittle careful. Can someone point me in the right direction?:D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
It's great that you're being careful! You have to be one of the smartest X50 users I've seen lately in this forum! Currently, the only WM5 and WM6 ROMs in this forum that I'm aware of are for the VGA Axims only. Those would be the X50v and X51v. You cannot flash either of the X50v ROMs to your X50, unfortunately. You will end up with a brick as many X50 users have found out the hard way. Yes, some have recovered successfully, but it's definitely not a good thing for your blood pressure/stress level. :p I wish I had some better news for you, but that's about all I can tell you. You probably already have done this, but a quick search or two in these forums will probably confirm (or disprove) my answer. Perhaps an X50 user somewhere along the way will come up with a ROM for X50s. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Compliance:
so how would i go about creating a rom for wm5 for my x50?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Start researching... ;)

Honestly, I have not created a ROM before. I know how to do some basic ROM stuff, but I don't know how to build/modify one to create a working one for another device. There are lots of helps in these forums if you take the time to find them. Obviously, making a working ROM is a lot of work and something that should not be taken lightly. There are lots of different ways to brick a device by poorly building a ROM. However, if you're really serious about it, I'm sure you will have the drive to do your research and find answers. Some more experienced ROM creators who have experience with Axim devices are Football and MagLite_RUS. They might be able to give you some direction. Good luck.
