As I stated the other day bro, I would be happy to donate to you. I will give the $50 I dedicated to the bounty. I have a true appreciation towards cancer research as I lost my mother to cancer 5-15-2016. Cancer is some bs and needs to be dealt with. I'm sorry to anyone who's lost a family member to cancer

Awesome XDA, I can't even post source to these boards somehow without formatting being destroyed.

Since I won't accept money anyway; I guess I'll have an open conversation on how I'd proceed from here.

Anyway I'll talk about serious resolves to root in this time.

Hey guys, I'm an LG G5 user here but this thread actually seems pretty promising for both of us. I successfully ran the CVE from https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/39921/ on my G5, but I do not know what to do next. It seems to work, but I don't know exactly what it is doing. I know that I come from a different device but they both have the SD 820, so I will update in this thread if anything works for us G5 users :)

Actually, insecure is used more to describe a person (state of being) not confident or assured; uncertain and anxious:. Since you are being a big **** about this: According to the oxford dictionary unsecure is the better definition

unsecure

Pronunciation: /ˌənsəˈkyo͝o(ə)r/

adjective

1(Especially of a computer system) not protected against attack or other criminal activity:

an unsecure WiFi network
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Hexagrams:
The definition of a word is defined by context and context is defined by the operation.

In this case the thing we're discussing is not a criminal action so.................................

Edit: Honestly I was just teasing and not even really being hostile; It's more a morbid sense of humor

Anyway, I've identified a few exploits that can be used to obtain elevated privl. as people here have verified.

The next challenge will be actually purposing one.

Regretfully the proof of concept ones do not, and we have only been able to verify a single one for this device.

My feeling is that writing SU related things to the correct places is enough.

I think we can do it, without much of a problem; the next thing is to get write access.

Another interesting question is whether exploiting buffer overflow will allow for root shell to be gained?

If root shell can be gained, It'll be possible to pass root binaries and stuff onto the system as well.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Honestly Annoying:
Here is a root exploit I found and compiled with the help of the users over at the G5 forum. It didn't work for us, but it might for you guys. Here is how you run it, and the source code is available here: https://github.com/solitarywarrior1/G5-Root/blob/master/exploit.cpp (thanks [MENTION=4417058]solitarywarrior1[/MENTION] for fixing the code!)

Here's the zip, unzip it and then do

adb push a /data/local/tmp

adb shell

cd /data/local/tmp

chmod 777 a

./a

Then choose either "./a 1" or "./1 verify"

MAKE SURE AUTO ROTATE IS OFF!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] melona380:
Has anyone verified this yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Honestly Annoying:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] MegaNoob:
Lets say an exploit lets you write su to system. All its going to do is soft brick your phone untill you figured out how to bypass dm-verity in the kernel. So best case would be temp root and then have to reflash stock firmware on reboot.

This assumes i understand how this works

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] MisterSprinkles:
I will admit back in the day, when I had the original Moto X, I paid for a similar service. "China Middleman" is what we called him. Sent him the MEID of the phone along with payment and he would send the bootloader unlock code. To my surprise, it did actually work. I do, however, have my doubts about this one so you can count me out. I am still actively working on finding the right exploit to get the job done. No luck on getting any engineering firmware either yet.

I made a similar post to another interesting thread in the T-Mobile forum, but since the Edge I have actually IS a Sprint one I figured I should also post this here.

I'd be willing to use my Edge as a guinea-pig if it would help. I dropped it twice, on OPPOSITE corners, both of which cracked only the front glass. So, I'm getting ready to replace it and don't mind potentially bricking this one.

I haven't seen anything to prove he got root. A custom flag could mean anything, and the pics don't really prove anything. I hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling we're all in for a disappointment. Where has the OP gone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jdidtht:
How did he gain "custom" instead of official for "device status" in settings? He was able to write something somewhere
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mikeyinid:
It could be anything. It may have gone back to factory after a reboot. I've seen bone stock Samsung devices say custom. Straight out of the box my exes S6 did. All I'm saying is, don't get to excited. I've seen these threads time and time again and people usually end up disappointed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] razz1:
The screen shot shows he accessed /data.

You need root to get there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jdidtht:
I'm not excited, but I've never seen a device that is locked down display a custom status.. Maybe he has nothing, maybe he has something is all I'm saying. We won't know until he provides further information on what he did, and how he did it is all I meant. I'm leaning towards being optimistic but I'm a realist as well.

I'm just as hopeful as the next guy, but i don't see any proof yet....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
The custom status doesn't mean root access. It can just be that something was triggered by the system to throw the custom flag. Changing the branding could have thrown that flag. Even if it read official doesn't mean anything, because I've had rooted phones that still say official.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] v8dreaming:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Hexagrams:
You're correct however temp root will allow a pull of aboot and other things of value that go a long way to unlocking the BL

People don't really care about Root, its the BL unlock that is the most important

To root it is fine, a person who knows the correct methods can obtain a temporary root without a problem

When people rant and rave about needing root, they're really spiritually talking about an unlocked BL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] SkyAttacksX:
Then why are devices that get perm root via exploits still BL locked ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] MisterSprinkles:
Root =/= unlocked BL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] SkyAttacksX:
Exactly . But he's saying temp root leads to unlocked bootloader , which isn't necessarily true .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] MisterSprinkles:

Why not at least post the temp root? I personally don't believe it's fully functional with full system privileges. If it were. Why not post it? At least it's a start.
