[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanaas:
To start I am very noobish at rooting and such so please be patient with me. So i had rooted my verizon galaxy s5 that was on 5.0 . then i used flashfire to update to the new 6.0.1. but have lost my root i thought from what i read this would help me keep my root . Is there anyway to get my root back even if I have to downgrade back or something. Once again i am very noobish at all of this so any clear help would be wonderful.

[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] googlephone:
He was talking about compiling recovery first and then root using TWRP by flashing supersu in TWRP.

To make a twrp recovery, from what I know, devs need system dump. A kdz file is better but shouldn't be mandatory.

Since our bootloader is already unlocked/unlockable, we just need to wait for some devs who know how to compile recovery and are interested in our device with free time to compile TWRP recovery using system dump.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You need root *BEFORE* you can even install TWRP, locked bootloader or unlocked bootloader doesn't matter. You have to find a way to root it in the first place.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] amdev0101:
What device did u come from mate??
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] googlephone:
What you said is not true. Neither is a prerequisite for the other. For some devices, they get twrp first and then use twrp to root, while for other devices, they get root first and it's easy to install twrp with root and unlocked bootloader.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I have the VS985 G3 and VK810 G Pad 8.3 currently.

Maybe that's true but I haven't personally come across an LG device that you can flash a custom partition without having root first. I've only seen that on Samsung when you could Odin a custom recovery tar. Without root, you don't have permissions to flash over top of your stock recovery. And if you can put TWRP on without having root you certainly still need to come up with some kind of vulnerability for the device, whether it's root or something else, in order to get around the stock protections that keep us from installing and using a custom recovery.

In the case of both LG devices I have, you need to have root and a bump-vulnerable bootloader to install TWRP. I'd like to know so I can be aware: what devices can you put TWRP on before discovering a root vulnerability?
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] amdev0101:
All devices that have MM out of the box need to unlock bootloader and flash recovery first! There is no such explocit that allows you to root MM! Thats why Chainfire made SYSTEMLESS ROOT FOR MM, which basically places root in boot.img, in MM system cannot be touched. Hence recovery is mandatory to root MM which this device came with, its not G Pad 8.3, you cannot downgrade to KitKat bootloader as it doesn't exist! BUT as its from T-Mobile they bootloader IS UNLOCKED out of the box, do if someone builds recovery you can simply flash it in fastboot. Devices that require recovery are G4, G5, OnePluses, Nexuses, Sony devices and many many more.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Ah, sorry, didn't realize T-Mobile bootloaders are unlocked out of the box, my bad. :) Here I had thought all devices had a locked bootloader these days, especially out of the box Marshmallow ones.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] amdev0101:
Yes they do come locked, T-Mobile is exception, luckily in most cases they are unlockable. Remember, one you've unlocked the bootloader, nothing will stop you in flashing. ?

[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] d3athb4dishonor:
Lol somebody is gonna end up with a nice chunk of change.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] shabbypenguin:
the problem is if you can dump system.img you can dump boot.img or recovery.img, doing any of that requires root to use DD to dump it. so you need root to dump partitions, and in order to get TWRP we need the images for partitions. dumping the system via the tar command serves nothing as far as development goes for what we need. its why once a system update is out, i can grab the kdz/tot unpack it and rip out recovery.img and then proceed to make TWRP. it sucks waiting this long but sadly there is nothing else i can do :/.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] emilyrugburn:
I figured as much. So it's just the waiting game for LG to release the kdz/tot or for someone to leak it.

So it means we should be able to root our tablet once anyone pulls the new firmware v10c.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ok looks like we are **** out of luck. i have twrp built and compiled but i guess lg doesnt let you flash images via fastboot ( im a samsung fan so this is my first foray in with a modern lg device) so a tot would have to be made or some new exploit that gets put out. i asked around on how to make a tot and the general consensus was "lol not telling you and i wont make one for you". so it seems your best shot of root is begging for those folks to do it.

I always share my android work and this time despite the absolute **** thrown at me is no exception:

[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] emilyrugburn:
Thanks for trying and getting this far even. Really appreciated. I'm guessing even with a unlocked bootloader that FlashFire will not help us achieve this? It's understandable, but kinda sad that certain developers basically sell privately edited tot/kdz nowadays. But I guess that's the reason we have a root bounty going. Also, besides FlashFire, is it now possible to open up send_command.exe (with a kdz released) and flash a edited system.img in download mode?
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] shabbypenguin:
Thats actually what i ran into, one person was happy to help me out, take the recovery i compiled and toss it into a tot for me and claim the bounty

not familiar with send command so no clue on that.

[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] emilyrugburn:
I want to say fast boot was possible on the T-Mobile LG G4 and some guy managed to make "custom roms" (without root) on the Sprint LG G4 using send_command.exe. Either way, all of this looks promising.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] shabbypenguin:
actually its easier than that :/

if i could just make a tot, i could just put twrp iin there and we could flash that and have twrp which could then be used for rooting/romming. the issue is those that know how to make tots dont want to share how to make them
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] googlephone:
xda member 1619415 helped someone to make tot for t-mobile LG G5. Hope he is willing to share the method with us for the LG G PAD X 8.0. You can give him a shot.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] emilyrugburn:
You are right that he did help share the method to edit a tot file, but in his posts he says tungkick/wolfu11 were the ones who actually injected root into it. What I'm confused about is how did T-Mobile LG G4 users flash twrp through fast boot. Was it pre marshmallow?

They used fastboot boot twrp.img to temporarily boot into twrp. It's not possible anymore?
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] googlephone:
He shared the method for making tot file to tungkick, who then actually made the tot file with root injected for T-mobile LG G5 using the guide from 1619415.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] shabbypenguin:
at the risk of sounding like a ****, tungkick was making tots in april (and probably before?) while https://twitter.com/chrislevine14/status/747527582430617600 was being tweeted out.

my guess is he is a regular user who maybe had a guide for a different phone and tungkick copied and pasted some/most of it because it was better explained than his, not that he knows how to make a tot.

[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] googlephone:
Seems like you didn't understand my question. My fault. Let me ask again more clearly: is the .DLL file outside or inside the kdz rom file?

If the .dll file is outside of the kdz rom file, but you zipped them together into a zip file, can you share with me only the . dll file, because I have already downloaded the kdz file from somewhere else?

the kdz contains the dz file which is basically whole system image, the dll and a params file. you should be able to just select the kdz and flash that and it will extract the dll from within. you need the dll to flash a tot, which we do not have at this time. however in the event its needed, here you go :)
