That is very odd. You're on the latest twrp too? All that is included is the system and boot. no bootloader or anything else so that makes no sense.

I am uploading another one for anyone who wants to try it. The upload timed out at 99% my last two tries. If this one doesn't boot I have one more thing I can try. I'm still hoping someone else in here can toss out some ideas for us. It was mentioned that for root we likely need a kernel injected with root to get us going. which I cannot confirm. What I'm uploading is not rooted this time. Just stock all the way. And what I'm assuming is that once we get root we'll have to use flashify or something to flash twrp. Which again may not work. Idk what's going on with our bootloader and fastboot commands not working. I'd love to get some insight aside from our speculation on what's happening.

It gives you another menu first before you unlock, once its unlocked you get that menu. I unlocked mine just fine............. Need a screen shot to prove it"?

I sent a PM to the Korean guy that rooted the self created tot files........... I told him what happened and asked for his help..

He replied only once so far.... but im waiting on a response back from my reply..................

Im a kernel dev, I dont know much when it comes to exploiting root......... But I do know enough to know whats going on..........

I make a Rooky mistake on this.. LG really got me good.............. Who would think they would of pulled this on the only device they left open

so we could do this................ I cant thanton why they would allow us to unlock bootloader if we cant do anything after its unlocked.....

The only reason anyone would need it unlocked is for custom roms.........................

LG and T-Mobile is loosing my Respect fast.................. I expected this with my G3 but not V10..............................

This phone doesn't really need root anyways. It runs well even with bloat
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Eliminater74:
doesnt need root? I didnt buy a 600.00 phone to just make phone calls.. Im a developer, thats what I do, I bought it cause it was unlockable and easy to root at the time.

Yes, I know I should buy a nexus device if I wanted to dev.. but I dont need to buy a nexus device if I want to dev.. This device is I picked.. I did my research........

Nobody thought LG would pull this over us............

So speak for your self about root.. if all I wanted was a device to make phone calls with, I would of bought a k7 or something...........

Some people make money by developing, and some just enjoy it...............

I really enjoy what I do.............

We're getting side tracked right now guys. I'm hoping we can get some more eyes on this and sort it out.

I downloaded it but was going to flash as soon as the 5.1.1 KDZ was done uploading in case all hell breaks loose.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] HtcOnekid:
If i flash this will it delete my twrp or can i just restore my backup and still be rooted and unlocked? willing to try if i could go back
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] shawn1:
Download in now
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Negan:
That's a fair answer. Where is the 5.1.1 kdz? I haven't seen it. Realistically we should have that linked in the op here since this thread has basically turned into a testing thread. It would be good for people to have easy access to that kdz file

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

It will not to delete twrp. In theory it shouldn't affect anything you've done if it doesn't work. However I cannot make any promises. I myself have not been able to test it. It is just the system.img converted into a rom zip along with the boot.img. there is no recovery or bootloader included in the zip.

There was just mention of a 5.1.1 kdz file kicking around. That would be a good thing to keep handy just in case.

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] sikander3786:
It is not about performance, it is all about tweaking for me. I am not a developer but I am picky when it comes to smartphones. I like to set it up all the way I like it to be. If LG wants to force on me something I don't like I would rather say good bye.

I would rather switch to Apple or Lumia if Android also forgets the freedom philosophy.

Problem with this V10 is that it has left us heart broken after MM update. They have taken away something that was most important to many of us. They are making fun of us by allowing a dummy bootloader unlock. In that case, I don't think I am over-reacting.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Negan:
Excellent. I don't know who this guy is but based on what he's done he may be the one to hook us up. My gut tells me we're gonna have to get root and then flash twrp with flashify and then life will be back to normal.

I will try to find a way but I'm mainly a theme designer. I haven't made roms since kitkat so there's only so much I can do. If my zip does fail again I have at least one more idea to try before i throw in the towel.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Eliminater74:

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Negan:
That is a good question. Something to look into. What seems odd is that thread with the 5.1.1 placeholder kdz file. I mean how is it that no one can find the file but him? Seems very strange that the 6.0 is easily available but not the 5.1.1 and the fact that fast pot commands don't work now makes me think that either LG or tmo did this intentionally to deny us being able to root. It's no coincidence that this all happened this way

FYI: Updated News: I talked to [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] on IRC, and asked about the root issue and what happened to us.. They have root on the G5 which if you think about it.. Same issue as us..

They dont have ETA yet.. so dont ask.. but hes 99% sure that when the root project is released it will work for us too...

Video of G5 with TWRP/ROOT

So hang in there peepz, Yea I admit I went on irc and asked him my self..

and he is reading though the v10 threads so hes up to par on whats going on.. so just bare with them all.....

I just wanted to give you this nfo, so you all can have some hopes.. Autoprime and his team get stuff done Regardless... I can assure you of that.

PS: Dont msg Autoprime with ETA, plz dont.. or you will get nothing from them.. so plz dont.... He doesnt need alot of msgs from us..

I would say go stock marshmallow. I believe i called the 5.1.1 kdz fishy earlier seeing as how magically only one guy in the world has access to it.

Realistically we would get root likely within a week.

Before you flash 6.0 have you tried a different version of twrp? I could have sworn I read somewhere last week that some people were experiencing issues with nandroids on 3.0+ I'd try that first and then if that isn't working still (that really boggles the mind) then go for 6.0
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] nookie1916:
Thanks I was actually 40 percent done with it. And pulled the plug on it in hopes that that would also not brick my phone hah. It didn't. And I actually an older twrp so. I'm just going with the stock Marshmallow now. I'm sure we'll get root sometime soon.

Change when choosing a file .tot to .kdz it worked for me. Your mileage may differ
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] :
Yep, don't flash official mm .kdz. You'll end up losing root and fastboot. Also don't flash a boot.IMG and/or system.IMG from the official T-Mobile kdz either. It'll lock you to mm and you'll have to flash the mm .kdz. Also, you can't roll back to lollipop. You'll end up bricked.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] sikander3786:
Sad to hear about the bricked phones after attempting downgrade. I had that in mind because of the bricked H811 a few weeks earlier after attempting a downgrade. I was able to unbrick it using JTAG tools.

Anyone interested in un-bricking H901 can contact me. I will try to help as much as I can. But that un-bricking project can only start once we get H901 MM rooted as we will need EMMC dumps etc.

As far as Tungkick777 is concerned, he is a honest man, I know him personally. The only mistake he made was that he didn't tell that he had created that KDZ. But it didn't really matter because even f we managed to get our hands on the official KDZ either we would have ended up bricked. It is not because of the un-official KDZ, it is because of the anti-rollback feature/lock. I am not defending Tungkick777, but all I know is that he was probably honestly trying to help our community and he doesn't deserve to be bashed for that.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] PjLyTam:
no way to remove anti-rollback feature / lock??
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] sikander3786:
I just talked to Tungkick777. He said we only need to avoid 2 partition, "sbl1" and "sbl1bak". Those are the partitions that trigger the rollback flag. If someone daring wants to try, and he is on 5.1.1, he may try creating a MM zip with all partitions included excluding "sbl1" and "sbl1bak". That is how it used to be Cloudyfa roms for G2 and G3. Remember, do this at your own risk.

I have read that those who flashed the zip containing boot and system partitions only, even they were unable to downgrade to 5.1.1 for some reason. So, I am not sure how it will work out.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Negan:
My advice to anyone at this point is to just sit tight and play the waiting game. last night a bunch of us tried several different things and no one got the result we wanted. None of my roms worked, tk's kdz didn't have the desired effect either. Since none of us seem to have any concrete breakthroughs at this point I strongly advice us to either sit pretty on 5.1.1 with root/twrp or enjoy stock 6.0 for the time being.

I myself have no plans to try anything else as I did my best to try and contribute something and I'm out of ideas.

Now historically Team codefire release their teaser videos just before they're ready to release so I would assume a week or two at most if I were a betting man. Let's just hope that their method is transferable to us and if it's not perhaps one or more of them would give us a hand in making it work. They seem like pretty decent people so I would think if we asked nicely someone will help us out.
