Yeah, there's no currently known or available exploit that gives you root without significant interventions which will require wiping.

EDIT: Actually I don't know dirtycow works specifically, so that's an exploit, but I don't think it can be used to give root only.

I used TWRP to flash the N 7.0 zip but now Root Checker says "Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device. Also TWRP Manager will not work anymore. How to I get root access back? I do not want to try and rebooting back into TWRP as I fear it will factor reset my phone instead.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zeitdroid:
After the new flash of n7.0 you have to reinstall the twrp following the proper thread. After twrp flash boot in recovery or you will loose it again, format data to get rw permissions for the recovery, than flash latest supersu.zip that could be the 2.79.

It was difficult for me too. Now i know jow to do and it's ok, but I agree to your point of view. I made in this way: flash of the latest twrp, shutted down removing the battery, turn on with vol- plus power button, when i saw lg logo i leaved only the power button for a sec, then pushed again, i choosed two times yes to the following questions, wiped data when twrp booted to get rw permissions for the recovery, rebooted in twrp from the options of the recovery itself, flashed the latest supersu.zip, wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted system. This is what i made.

Great work to autoprime and those who contributed to this thread. Glad I bypassed the G5 from the G4, with the H860 dual SIM still nowhere near being rooted a year later after release. The v20's dual SIM isn't there yet either...but hopefully it's not far off.

Im having a problem. Can u help me pls?

Flashed stock and Im getting the following message on my H850: "Current version is not available for user. Can't find matched cust for NTCODE = [,]"
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] autoprime:
This happens when the KDZ/TOT/ROM flashed does not match the exact model/carrier of the phone hardware.

For example if you have a carrier version of the H850 and not an "OPEN EU" version... then if you flash an OPEN EU KDZ/ROM you would see this error.

With root this can often be fixed by deleting (or editing) the "cust" partition on the phone. Without root you cannot edit this and only flashing the proper KDZ would remove the "error". As far as I know the error is only cosmetic and will not effect much but it may remove certain custom carrier settings.

The non-root fix would be to flash the appropriate KDZ for your model/buyer/supplier.

Using an app such as this ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.peamoon.phoneproductioninfo ) you can find out the exact supplier/buyer for your phone which then would explain if you have a "carrier" or "open" variant as well as the specific region the phone is from... this would tell you the exact KDZ needed for that phone. "Open" variants are those who are only tied to a country.. "Carrier" variants are those who are tied to a carrier. For example, in Poland, the buyer/supplier code for OPEN variants is POL or POC which is for "Poland" or "Poland Common"... where as P4P buyer/supplier code is a Polish carrier version. If you flashed a H850 OPEN EU KDZ for POL/POC variants onto a H850 P4P variant you would have a error similar to what you are seeing.

Because you have not included enough detail in your post (mentioning the exact buyer/supplier of your H850 and the exact KDZ/ROM flashed) I can not answer your question with specific answers and it is on you to sort out.

H860 root

Newbie question here regarding H860 root.

If the 2 ways of achieving root are:

1 via TWRP.

2 via an exploit( if cannot unlock bootloader)

Is uppercut not indeed an exploit? Can you not achieve root of the H860 by flashing superSU via LGUP with the risk of not being able to create a backup due to unlockable boot loader of the dual SIM H860?

Any in regard has anyone had any(or heard of any success stories) of achieving root via LGUP/Uppercut for the H860?

I'm only interested in achieving root not going back to stock or upgrading further if rooted.

Best regards,

Capadulla

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] RivalComp:
I could only get rid of this message by flashing the right version of the firmware (V20d, Vodafone branded ROM). I've tried other open EU versions but no success.

Please mention in the op that flasing this zip removes SU and recovery also. I've wanted to start recovery after installing this zip and erased all data, including media partition (internal storage). Plus this annoying message at start, so I've done a complete reflash from KDZ, twrp flash, re-root, restore data partition from twrp backup.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Csetoue:
Where did you get this KDZ ROM?

Mine is VDS, but the ROM available on "LG firmwares" for VDS keeps splashing that message to me.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] RivalComp:
I've got it from LG Firmwares too. Are you sure that Vodafone is your phone's original provider? The sticker on my phone's box says VFD2, so originally my phone came from Netherland (I've bought it here in Hungary). I hoped that I could make the Vodafone branding disappear, so my first choice was an open EU ROM for my country, and it didn't work. Secondly I selected a Hungarian branded ROM with the same provider (VDH), and that worked. I haven't tried other countries. So try to check the sticker on the box and select the same provider (and/or same country, but in my case it worked with a different country/same provider combination).

The stock cust partition is restored to your phone when you flash the stock KDZ. Cust is in the KDZ file and would have been restored when you flashed the KDZ with LGUP. So it sounds like something else happened. Perhaps you should create a new thread for this issue and maybe others can give their input if they have a solution for this exact issue.

---------- Post added at 08:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 AM ----------

with your opinion this problem I mean network lock, related to rom (software)?

Or it was hardware problem?

If the phone unlocked with IMEI then why shoud flashing new rom lock it again? I dont know whats the matter.

I even inter my imei number in the t-mobile site and it say we dont recognize your imei!!!

I think I must use 3rd party sites for help but it cost about 65-70$?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] waylo:
If it was really IMEI unlocked, the official way, it should not have been overwritten with a new ROM flash, or even a LGUp flash. That status is stored on a different partition which is not overwritten with standard reflash.

It's possible your phone was altered with an unreleased software method which of course none of us would be aware of.

Are you sure it's a H830? If it's an official one, T-Mobile should have some record of it. What kind of packaging came with the phone?

Only thing I can suggest is try LGUP back to 20i. Is it network unlocked then? Nothing to lose if you try.

Its packing is signed with t-mobile on it. And all t-mobile official app has installed on it and yes it is h830. Also some user in internet say that their g5 s imei is not recognized with t-mobile site just like me.

I dont think 20i is network unlocked but for now I have no choice...I download an flash it with lgup today. Its not important to me lose data or not I backup on sd card every thing.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ascii3:
Recently (perhaps since around mid-year 2016), LG has released their new devices with a stock recovery that is more difficult to access and without an obvious way of seeing the recovery options. I, myself, I tried many key combinations while already booted into recovery,, but could not figure out a combination that would show the various recovery options. One just sees the Android stock robot on its back.

I had that that the T-Mobile version of the LG G5 (model H830) should have been released before these changes by LG. It is possible that a firmware update has updated the stock recovery.

To boot to recovery when the option to boot to the system is available run the following adb command when adb use is available:

adb reboot recovery

Obviously none of these files are dangerous and google is in error here.

Until google sorts this I will not be adding any new files or updates to my directory.
