[AT&T LG V10] ant0321:
yeah that works right away too i just tried it just to see if it would work..thanks
[AT&T LG V10] ppbatman:
Well that blows, comes back with error of TOTT invalid. I will try again when the file is updated.
[AT&T LG V10] i42o:
how far in did you get??? did you like load the tot and press start or at what point did it say invalid???
[AT&T LG V10] ppbatman:
I loaded the file hit start and got to 4% before it came back with the error. Nothing was done to my phone, was able to boot up and use it right after. Hopefully, we get the correct file soon.
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
The same thing happened to me, I got 4% in and it said invalid TOT. OP save us.:eek:
[AT&T LG V10] ant0321:
will this process (when its working) wipe the phone?
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
I don't think it really matters, just back everything up to your computer, and if it DOES erase everything, that's why you have a backup ;)
[AT&T LG V10] meatlocker:
So what I have gathered here is that there has been NO confirmation outside of OP that this is working for our SKU, and, therefore, this thread is premature in even existing. Do I have that right?
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
Ohhhh there is confirmation that it is on the way. He has already rooted the Verizon model, and he is working on the AT&T one. It shall not be long brother.
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
Progress?
[AT&T LG V10] eric5949:
Give him a bit, it's like 2am where he is.
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
Oh, im sorry, didn't know it was 2AM over there, I live on the east coast. I will be a little more patient!
[AT&T LG V10] Evolutionmods:
I have the verizon v10, from what i gather in LGUP if you leave it on refurbish it will wipe the device. and if you check the upgrade option when flashing it wont wipe and leave apps and data .

I just left everything where it was and flashed the .tot .
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
Yeah, but I think our TOT is not working atm. Lucky Verizon bastards lol
[AT&T LG V10] Evolutionmods:
yeah we were pretty happy, he will get it going though.
[AT&T LG V10] dgross1123:
Will this work if already on 10f
[AT&T LG V10] s2kpdx:
I can confirm I tried this on my H900 and after 4% got an error message of invalid TOT as well.
[AT&T LG V10] ant0321:
i will test it in about 2 hours

In this photo he is not using LG UP. Strange. Anyone up for trying that tool?
[AT&T LG V10] MysteryEmotionz:
That's lgflash tool. Kind of a dated program but LG up is based.off of it is my understanding
[AT&T LG V10] DasWarlock:
no worries i should have read more before asking. thanks for letting me know
[AT&T LG V10] krissebesta:
Hey all! Good news! A 9-year-old bug called the "Dirty Cow" exploit still exists in the Linux/Android kernel can easily grant root on any Android phone!!! See the video below.

http://www.xda-developers.com/9-year...on-of-android/

So there's another bug to exploit for root and even possibly unlocking the bootloader! The bug has been fixed recently in Linux but hasn't been rolled into Android yet. If anyone can get this working on my AT&T LG V10 (running Marshmallow) I'll give a reward of $50! Plus you'll be my hero! Now get crackin!
[AT&T LG V10] P05TMAN:
That link redirects to a 404; can you repost it? The full URL?

NM. I found it; it looks like the forum truncates the URL. Here it is in plain text:

http://www.xda-developers.com/9-year-old-linux-kernel-bug-dubbed-dirty-cow-can-root-every-version-of-android/

UPDATE: Ok... don't get too excited. I don't believe this will assist us in unlocking the bootloader, but it may provide us with root. The problem is, while doing so it leaves our phones vulnerable. Not to mention, I'm not sure if there's a way to prevent updating even if we can get root with this.

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

So... I suppose if anyone really wants to test this can check out this link. Do so at your own risk/peril.
[AT&T LG V10] P05TMAN:
Looks like this is being discussed in this thread. Seems like there's much more involved since SELinux gets into the picture. The ideal situation would be to find a way to get boot.img and recovery.img... that would be huge because then we may be able to actually get permanent root.

As an aside... is there any way to prevent updating?
[AT&T LG V10] P05TMAN:
I'm going to see if I can use dirty cow to extract a boot.img and recovery.img. If I'm able to get those, is there anyone that can assist in next steps? Feel free to PM me if you can lend a hand in some way. We can collaborate on hangouts or whatever :D
[AT&T LG V10] nabril15:
I'm willing to help, but testing could lead to full bricking, right? With no way to return to a good phone.
[AT&T LG V10] Dakotahorse:
So, the link in this thread and others I have tried are broken, Does anyone have a stock TOT file? I want to to the MM update, I got it downloaded, but it will not let me while rooted. Mainly doing this for WIFI calling, since i get no signal in the house, and the apps do not work as well as the LG one (wife has a G4 that works good).
[AT&T LG V10] nabril15:
Damn, there's already root for the v20, and it's only been out a week or 2
[AT&T LG V10] P05TMAN:
On the AT&T variant? If so, I wonder if we can use that tot

Nope... T-Mobile, nothing for AT&T
[AT&T LG V10] nabril15:
I didn't read the full thread, and I don't know the model number of the ATT variant. A little voice inside my head and inside my V10 says that probably not.

POSTMAN - I replied to your call for helpers in a previous post. Naturally, I'm scared of bricking it fully since there isn't a way to return to stock, correct? So, how can we test?

I desperately want root as we all do, but not at the price of losing my daily phone.
[AT&T LG V10] P05TMAN:
Honestly, I'm not sure how we can test and what the risks will be if any.... though to test with boot.img may not be so bad since with a locked bootloader, any changes made would revert. I'm thinking this kernel vulnerability won't really help too much in getting us an unlocked bootloader.... that being said, I'm still learning/researching. Most of my Android testing is with other people's work and I haven't dug this deep before in the OS itself.
[AT&T LG V10] colts2001:
I have a AT&T V10 @ 6.0 I would be more than happy to let the right person to play with it to see if they can get into it... Just let me know ?

Finally KDZ for LG V10 AT&T

http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=459
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
No one flash this until it confirmed works. It does come from LG's website though, so that's something... this probably means its official. Might be a test KDZ though, not actually for consumer use. Or maybe they saw us struggling down here and they felt bad ha.
[AT&T LG V10] krissebesta:
Seems odd that the "official" LG download link is not found (404).

Download ATT LG V10 H900 stock FIRMWARE

Hey all, here's ANOTHER flaw that might be utilized to gain full root access from a user space. This has been proven to work on an LG G4 and it seems that the V10 is based off the G4 so this is also another highly probable solution to get root.

http://www.xda-developers.com/new-r...ties-to-root-lg-samsung-and-motorola-devices/

Anyone interested in digging into it?
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
I checked it out, I got my file from a different link, that went to their website. I went to that link again, and it seems they took it down. Well, we have it now! I will check that G4 flaw out though.
[AT&T LG V10] krissebesta:
Looking at the version of the file "web_h90021w_00_0921.kdz" looks like it is for Lollipop 5.1 (the 21w after h900 means Android 5.1). So using this KDZ file people could use the LGUpdate to "reflash" their Marshmallow phones back to Lollipop 5.1 and then gain root. This page describes the file name.

http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/150692/what-is-the-meaning-of-kdz-file-name-format
[AT&T LG V10] serdoch:
Ok so if that's right why does mine read like this ?

Android version 6.0 and Software version H90021w? Have a screen shot but it won't upload.

I'm pretty sure that's marshmallow. So I'm not understanding or ....?
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
It's definitely not Lollipop. Has all the features of a MM ROM. Wifi calling and bug fixes. Plus if it was Lollipop it wouldn't be able to flash from MM
[AT&T LG V10] nabril15:
Forget the results of the election...do I smell hope for our phones? Might we be able to flash this file to get to root somehow?
[AT&T LG V10] krissebesta:
I'm thinking, yes!
[AT&T LG V10] Apollonit:
Unroot?

Im on 5.1.1 and rooted using this method, but I just want to go back to stock so I can get the OTA for marshmallow. How do I go about doing this?
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
Just flash the 6.0.1 kdz in my threads
[AT&T LG V10] Apollonit:
Omfg please help.

Okay, So I'm outside and my phone freezes up, I restart it and it now when it boots all i see is an error saying Unfortunately, System UI has stopped.

I've tried to boot into recovery, doesn't work, and no matter what else I do I cant get past this error. Please help, I'm using the v10 as my main phone and it's a huge hassle not having a phone.
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
First off, you can't get to recovery? You don't have TWRP, at least I don't think so just regular factory reset recovery? Sounds like you may need to reflash TOT, easiest way imo. Back up data, wipe and reflash. ez pz lemon squeezy ;)
[AT&T LG V10] Apollonit:
How do I backup? My pc wont recognize it cause I cant get into the phone, it just gives me an error.... And how do I reset it? I'm sorry if I sound like an idiot I'm still new to this stuff, First time rooting.
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
Rememeber how you first flashed the rooted TOT? Just go back to that program and flash the TOT again, if you still have it. First go into download mode, connect USB to PC, and then LGUP should see your phone. Flash rooted TOT again. Oh you meant backup? Ah. That im not too sure about.

First go into download mode, connect USB to PC, and then LGUP should see your phone. Flash rooted TOT again. Oh you meant backup? Ah. That im not too sure about. OH NVM, when you root, chose the refurbish option (I believe and it should keep userdata)
[AT&T LG V10] Apollonit:
I believe the refurbish setting removes all my data.... That's the setting I used to root. The thing is I was in the middle of a conversation with a girl when it happened and I know she sent me a couple texts, but I just dont know what they said. I don't care about the apps or anything, I just wanted to back up my messages...

---------- Post added at 02:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 AM ----------

*Sigh* too late, I just started flashing the root file just cause I need my phone to function. Will update here if it works/doesn't work.
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
Aw was just gonna tell you to hit upgrade to refurbish

my bad truly sorry. Hope all goes well with the girl!
[AT&T LG V10] Apollonit:
Lol, thanks for helping anyways. I'm probably just going to go back to stock after I get the phone working.

---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 AM ----------

Yup, phone works now. But all data was wiped. At least I can use my phone now lol.

---------- Post added at 02:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 AM ----------

Now how might I go about unrooting the phone to update to MM?

---------- Post added at 02:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 AM ----------

To go back to stock do I just use the file you posted earlier? I had to use the mirror, the file is called web_h90021w_00_0921.kdz This is correct right?
[AT&T LG V10] nabril15:
So what's next? What steps do we follow?

Zvnexus - - - what do you think about having this stock tot file available?
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
Yes it is correct. But if you flash it, you cannot root until we find root for Marshmallow, as that is the Marshmallow KDZ. If you want root at another time, I would recommend flashing 5.1.1 again. But 6.0.1 is more secure.
[AT&T LG V10] gtchow:
AT&T LG V10 H900 Marshmallow Unlocking Bootloader Solution?

Hi All,

I came across this website that claims to be able to unlock bootloader for this stupid model. Is it legit? And if it is, can we finally root the AT&T LG V10 H900?

I am new to this forum, so it doesn't allow me to paste a link, but just type "Unlocking Bootloader LG V10 6.0 And 6.0.1 Marshmallow" and you should see a website that has instructions to specifically unlock bootloader for LG V10 on Marshmallow.

I do hope that this could lead to some method of rooting the AT&T LG V10 H900 model. Please keep this alive.

Cheers
[AT&T LG V10] nabril15:
I surely hope so, but the instructions look so simple and hopeful, that something tells me that it won't work. And I think that the steps mentioned have probably been tried already by ZVNexus or tungkick.

Here's the outcome of someone trying the adb steps.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63961760&postcount=3
[AT&T LG V10] nabril15:
ZvNexus, our awesome leader. I humbly ask if there's any hope for us now that that file is in our hands. You mentioned a few posts back that you wanted to check that file.

Are those of us on MM still unable to flash back to LP to root?

Did getting this file give us any hope of progress or a way to try to flash back, root, and recover if it fails?

I ask humbly and respectfuly.
[AT&T LG V10] elliwigy:
[MENTION=7299508]ZVNexus[/MENTION] are you able to repack partitions into a tot to be flashed in LGUP?

I Ask because on the v20 we got auserdebug firmware but no way to repack.. if you can please pm me!
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
No.... it is just sadly not that simple. I believe LG themselves are really the only ones who can do it. Im sure there is SOMEONE but I am not that person sadly.

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 AM ----------

Using the knowledge I have, I would be lead to believe yes, even if you get a TOT anti rollback error after flashing back to LP, for those people who did it being uninformed eons ago, yes they can use this file to restore from a brick. To go BACK to LP? Nope.

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ----------

No.
[AT&T LG V10] nabril15:
ZV..thank you for helping always. The standing order is that those of us on MM are not able to flash the LP rooted file because it leads to a boot loop and a bricked device. Now, there's this stock file available, and so my question asked what that means for us.

Do we now have a way to attempt the flash of the LP rooted file, and if it fails, we can use this new file to return to stock safely?

I'm sorry for the redundancy, but I'm trying to understand and spell out what our options are now that this new file has surfaced. Can we attempt to root with a safe way to return to a working phone?
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
Nope no Lollipop. We can use the file to unblock though
[AT&T LG V10] nabril15:
To unblock what?

Have you tried anything on your H900 ZV?
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
IP

Mistyped, meant unbrick from a failed flashback. (Anti tot rollback) Me personally no I have not tried anything, I simply cannot take the risk. I do not own the phone, parents pay for it. Although I can say 99% that I can recover from a brick, if something happens and I can't, what do I do? Can get a job next year so hoping I can buy phones for myself and test all I want. Otherwise I would be testing it myself.
[AT&T LG V10] nabril15:
I understand and share your sentiments. We are all dying to root this V10, but not at the cost of losing it for use.
[AT&T LG V10] elliwigy:
[MENTION=7299508]ZVNexus[/MENTION] i am curious if you know.. how did [MENTION=4965298]tungkick[/MENTION] modify the tot in op to flash on the device? we cant replace the partitions within the tot and have it flash (speaking about another device)
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
He modified it by injecting SuperSU. I don't know how he recompiled it, but I know he has software to do it. Considering he is a phone repair businessman, I doubt he would give away these tools. He makes money off them. Plus that wouldn't work for us anyways, we need systemless root, we cant modify /system with 6.0.
[AT&T LG V10] elliwigy:
were not trying to buy his software lol just for him to help us repack a tot.. theres a decent bounty going atm so surely hed get paid something and wouldnt need to tell anyone how..

we wouldnt need to inject supersu since the tot is a user debug firmware with adb root shell and an unlocked BL by default lol it could be flashed then flash twrp then decrypt and root

Is this A New Hope (star wars reference) for us perhaps??

https://www.xda-developers.com/lg-v...added-to-lgs-official-bootloader-unlock-tool/
[AT&T LG V10] P05TMAN:
I saw this earlier today. Unfortunately, this is only for the V20 and those specific models of the V20 that are not a variant issued by carriers such as AT&T and VZ. Since this is much like the "token" HTC issues to it's customers for unlock, I can't see how this would benefit us.

....Sorry
[AT&T LG V10] nabril15:
Damn, The LG Empire Strikes Back. I thought that perhaps the V20 solution might work or be made to work on the V20 minus 10, V10. Well, we'll keep holding our collective bootloader breaths.
[AT&T LG V10] Wr3cklessAnt1cs:
The chances of the V10 getting a root are fairly slim, especially now with the V20 out. Most devs have put the V10 in the rearview and moved on to greener pastures. I'm an owner of a V10 and have been waiting since the moment I got mine, which was shortly after the 6.0 update rolled out for AT&T. The store rep said he was "mandated" to update all devices before giving them to customers. So I did not get my pre-6.0 root.

I would stop holding your "collective bootloader breaths" and start looking into an upgrade to a device that has root already, or one with active devs working on a root.

-Wr3cklessAnt1cs
[AT&T LG V10] P05TMAN:
Yep... agreed. I also will never get a carrier-sold device again; imo one should get an unlocked model or 3rd party phone such as Huawei, OnePlus or similar brands. I'm waiting for the OP4 in June-ish of 2017. I had the OP2 and liked it, but OnePlus has really come a long way with features.
[AT&T LG V10] TayzGpa:

what version 5.1.1or6.0
[AT&T LG V10] JCred:
I've come to accept the G3 as the finale for rooting my LG devices. Personally, I don't find rooting to be a necessity as it once was. However I've one caveat and a short tangent, first.

This phone has wildly exceed the hype surrounding its excellent audio pedigree and delivered beyond expectation (I'm continually impressed by the variety of cans this v10 drives wonderfully, as my headphone amps go mostly neglected).

So what's the one thing I've missed without root? Ironically, Viper Audio, and its magical ability to deliver enjoyable audio from barely mediocre headphones.
[AT&T LG V10] PLeblanc:
Hello, I have a LG V10 H900 with android 6 factory, can I have root with this method? And what version of android is the tot to install? Ah and then I can install the updates with the LGUP without losing the root? I hope you can resolve my doubts. Thanks in advance
[AT&T LG V10] Shadow Assassin:
Once you have an official 6.0 update installed, there is no root or waysl to grade.

[AT&T LG V10] Sir Lucas:
Oh nooooo!!! Really? I have official Android 6.0 on my LG V10 (H900). I needed to root the phone because apparently when my phone got globally unlocked the IMEI number got lost (if you dial *#06# It says "IMEI 0-16"). I have the correct IMEI in the box of the cellphone . I thought the only way to fix It was with root.

So Now I realized my phone can not be repaired :(
[AT&T LG V10] rolledubTR:
is it android 6 or 5 ??????????????????????
[AT&T LG V10] Shadow Assassin:
Your IMEI is made to resist tempering with your phone unless you gain full root access. So first, go to general options, thwn go to developer options, and click status. If your IMEI reads the same there, i would try a full factory reset. If that doesnt work, PM me and ill dig deeper into the hidden menu to see if i can find a way to recover the IMEI or restore the phone fully.
[AT&T LG V10] Boomhauer79cj:
nabril, hate to say it but i have read every single word up to this pt. and no where has anyone said that you could downgrade to LP from MM.

MAYBE THERE ARE 2 HARD HEADZ HERE.....
[AT&T LG V10] nabril15:
Boom...I did not say that you can downgrade to LP to gain root. At no point did I mention the word downgrade or backwards or any implication of returning to LP.

There's another thread that mentions that doing so will brick the phone. I clearly stated that if you happen to still be on LP then there's a way.

Are we clear now? Crystal.

TOT file for Android 6 Marshmallow?

Tons of thanks to Tungkick for providing this method. Unfortunately, it only works on v10s running Android 5 Lollipop. New v10s purchased now are preloaded with Android 6 Marshmallow.

Is there a TOT fille available to root phones running Marshmallow?

If not, is there one in the works? If so, is there an ETA? I really want to dump my AT&T bloatware.

Please and Thank-you.
[AT&T LG V10] P05TMAN:
Nope. We've been waiting. No ETA... in fact I'd say at this point our only hope (if you can call it that) is if LG decides to add this device to its bootloader unlocking tool. I think it's fair to say it won't happen and this is what now fuels my future purchasing decisions to non-carrier phones only (i.e., OnePlus, Huawei, etc).
[AT&T LG V10] Dgsaxhitman84:
This sucks AT&T isn't updating these phone to Nougat so our only chance is to gain root again is Tungkick who has went completely off the grid Yay...anyone else trying to root 6.0
[AT&T LG V10] ZVNexus:
Yup, it for sure sucks. But its almost 2 years into the phones lifetime now, I think the best we can do at the minute is suck it up, and just wait until we can make a better more informed decision on our next phone. I plan to get a phone that would have already been out for awhile and has active developers working on it. You should do the same. The LG V10 is nice, just needs better software :/
