[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] raven.warsong:
This is a Prime stock 6.5 rom, this rom comes from my phone, not rooted unmodified stock rom.

The purpose of this thread is to be able to flash stock or custom roms for Prime R1HD via Twrp.

I think the latest is 6.6 and this looks like its still has ad's and stuff not sure but thanks for the link

I was really hoping for for root no adds and the bloat ware removed

This is good for stock flash thanks
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] ytsejam1138:
The last ROM listed on the post I linked: Modified_rom_R1HD_6.6.zip (Modified_rom is stock 6.6 rom minus the preloader_p6601.bin, lk.bin, logo.bin, secro.img, trustzone.bin, uboot.img from 6.6, as well as amazon apps, no ads, updater disabled, so this rom is safe to use.)

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24727338994368678

Version 6.6 it has no ads and no Amazon apps (bloatware)

Sooo I recently purchased this device and it is a nice lil budget phone with amazing battery life. I am reallllly hoping others are out there with this sucker and savvy enough to work together on rooting this device and possibly more customization later on down the road afterwards. I have the Cricket Variant LGK450 and so far getting into fastboot is a no go and I am basically stuck until root is gained on this device as I am guessing everyone else with it is as well. So this thread is basically for things you have tried to gain root on the device and sharing information on what has worked and what hasn't for you and any other tips and tricks you have discovered using this device any info could be helpful until we perhaps get an official thread in the LG Forums like the X Screen and X Cam have. So far the only thing I have really gotten into to do some tinkering with is using the dialer code *#LGMENU#*450# and you can modify various things there and some of the more useful tools for logging are there as well, and crash handler/ramdump etc. running a ls -l -R | grep -E "^c.{6}((r.)|(.w))" in shell shows that the only drivers we could mess with are as follows.

I am also interested in this. I haven't got far at all. This is a great value phone so i am really hoping someone can root it.
[Android General] toxinburn:
I am wondering if we could compile this exploit and give it a try i tried to compile it with gcc but it threw a ton of errors :( but if someone else can put this together I will test it please check out the following exploit code https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/39340/ We do indeed have sensord service and it is running as root so in theory this exploit should work on our device I think but I need someone to help me out with how I would compile it I have metasploit and such but i am pretty new to messing around in there I am running Kali Linux x64 my guess is that I am compiling it incorrectly.
[Android General] samlee123:
Have a LG xpower android 6.0.1, tried many ways/online tutorial, can't root it

I have checked the connectivity by "adb devices".

After run command "adb reboot bootloader", LG Xpower then go to "fastboot mode". The screen is black and "=> FASTBOOT mode..." is shown at the left bottom corner.

However, after that, the PC was failed to recognize it.

I opened device manager and realised under the section "Other device" with an unsuccessfully installed device(unrecognized character). I have verified that is the LG Xpower by unplug and plug the USB cable.

I got stuck here.

Although Xpower can be in FASTBOOT mode but the PC cannot recognize it. Depressed.

I am new here and don't know how to post the screen capture image.
[Android General] toxinburn:
What provider do you have? I have cricket and no fastboot for me at all :( you would seem to at least have hope sounds like your just missing some drivers.
[Android General] toxinburn:
I am wondering guys I think what I have dug out of the device may be good news but wanted to get feedback on if yall think it would work or not, I got the otacerts.zip off of the device and within is releasekey.x509.pem which is the same key used to sign the OTA updates and they must match that key in order to pass and flash to the device sooooo if I was to make a prerooted system for instance and sign with this pem could I actually flash that to the device without a brick?
[Android General] KazuDante:
could anyone provide a link to a stock spft backup please!!
[Android General] lucopies:
new root?

is there anyone who rooted the lg x power?
[Android General] toxinburn:
Well you could try the latest KingRoot I no longer have this device swapped to a s5 then also got me a moto g4 to tinker with. I would say best chance is kingroot.
[Android General] t5678:
I just got this phone. Boost version.

1) Teach me how to make an original ROM backup... before I do anything.

Some people said use CWM. But that requires root? which I dont have.

So what do I use? Someone tell me the app, and steps, and ill upload it for the community to work on. :)

Let's get this phone rooted :)

2) Ah f*ck. As I was writing it did some update without my permission. "com.lge.bnr."

A "system" update is pending but I wont start it.

How do I disable auto updates? It's not a normal google play update, but some system or LG thing.
[Android General] toxinburn:
To disable updates....you can go to dialer and dial *#LGMENU#*450# I think that's the code and it will give you some.menus where the 450 is if your model is other than k450 then use those numbers instead but in those menus their is one for disable it update sorry I don't have the device anymore to say for are but I had done that on mine also the main prob is the security updates that's what will kill chances of rooting so don't take those if you can help it and I think some models like boost maybe if your able to get to fastboot then you should be able to unlock the bootloader then build a tarp or cwm recovery flash a systemless root and then custom Roms etc but for most if you can't get to fastboot like the attached or cricket variant then you will most likely have to wait til kingroot figures something out
[Android General] t5678:
Thanks for the info on question 2).

Also thanks for the security update warning. Do you know if "com.lge.bnr" was the type of security update that makes rooting harder? If anyone can confirm, then future new owners can be quicker to disable it before the update is forced.

So for question 1), you are saying that for me to make a CWM backup, that I WILL have to unlock bootloader somehow?

If possible, I wanted to make a CWM backup without any risky flashing, in case a problem occurs - since if a problem does occur during flashing then I wouldnt have a backup to install lol.

But if someone tells me it is low risk, and the current method works on this new device, then ill try to get an original CWM backup for the rest of us to have as backup.
[Android General] t5678:
"they need to be compiled for each device independently"

So even if two people have the exact carrier model number, the CWM backup for one phone will not work for another phone (with a different MEID)?

I was trying to help give a CWM backup for people who have my carrier model phone, since I havent done the extra updates. But if its not possible...

"you wont ever be able to without an unlocked bootloader since 6.0 uses dm verity etc if you flash custom recovery or rom to this device without the unlock in effect."

So the downgrade to a lower android, then root, then update, doesnt work anymore (due to dm verity that prevents downgrading)? I have the LG Volt, and this was the method to root it.

"your safest bet in the future is to make an educated purchase before you decide to buy a new phone if you for sure want to be able to root and use custom anything."

I get what you are saying. Honestly, I just sort of assumed that someone would be able to hack it, since the hack comes out eventually. This phone is pretty new, or will get more popular with the black friday sale. Thus I think there is enough demand for people to work on this phone.

I had to do a quick buy since it was on sale. And I did research specs. I hate the new samsungs that dont have an LED notification. The flagships have it, but I couldnt afford those or the unlocks. So hopefully someone can find a solution to this good mid range phone with a high battery and octa core.

My LG Volt doesnt work anymore, so I need to get the new X power working soon :)

PS I saw this before I bought the phone. Does it look legit? http://www.root-android.tech/2016/10/lg-x-power-8133.html

The link at "1." has one of those surveys to download it... so not sure if its a scam and the comments are fake? or...

People said in the comments:

*Im not a pro. Just compiling info for others to look over, and to save time by not searching/trying things that dont work.

*Ill edit and add to the list if people tried other methods that dont work to get to the LG menu on this X Power phone.

I tried this and it didnt work. *#LGMENU#*755#

(It called and a voice said Im not authorized to make this call).

The stats for the 2016 Boost version of the LG "X Power" are:

Model LGLS 755

Hardware rev.1.1

Android 6.0.1

Software version LS755ZV5

This didn't work either to get the LG menu: http://www.phonearena.com/news/How-to-access-the-hidden-service-menu-on-the-LG-G4_id71670

---------- Post added at 06:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 AM ----------

These basic codes arent working either. "Android Common Codes." http://joyofandroid.com/android-secret-codes-hidden-menu-dialler-codes/

The voice says "Your account is not authorized to make calls to this number."

So im not sure if the codes are restricted from working on this device. Or if its due to me not having a phone number or service set up yet.

Source Code-

Vanilla ROM: http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=NAME&search=lgus610

Cricket ROM: http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=NAME&search=lgk450

The X Power has OEM Unlock option in Developer Settings, so it should be as simple as replacing the Cricket ROM with the stock ROM. LG releases these open source, so editing will be easier.

To enter download mode, turn off the device, hold volume down or volume up depending on your software while inserting the data cable. To exit download mode, hold power and volume down for 15 seconds.

To enter reset mode, hold volume down and power until the lg logo appears, then release power and immediately hold power again.

I still haven't been successful in entering fastboot to enable fastboot oem unlock

Boost Mobile LG LS755 X Power

Wondering if there is a way to make this X Power Boost/Sprint version (LS755) work on GSM carrier like AT&T or Rogers in Canada?

There is a sim restriction built in, so when I put in other than CDMA sim card, it restricts it. Maybe flash another ROM?

Thanks

Will it be compatible with GSM Att Tmobile networks and Sprint and Verizon, etc?
[Android General] goitalone:
It will be unlocked for any carrier.

I used this guy:

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/172538895795

You will lose all Boost apps and they will become Sprint apps...you'll probably wanna disable them all.

Data speeds on MetroPCS/T-Mobile are slower than on Boost before the unlock.. kinda disappointing, but it works.

[Android General] bilgerryan:
Been working on unlocking the bootloader on the Boost X Power. Getting close but running into a wall at every turn. Basically I need root to remount the bootloader so it's visible but can't get root without unlocking the bootloader.
[Android General] goitalone:
So no other way other than root first? Think it can be done?

Would it help development to have tot and LG UP dll from here:

I'm not gonna pay $30 unless I actually need to unbrick lol. I have a couple ideas on how to push root. We'll see, I've only had the phone a few days.
[Android General] goitalone:
Okay, well if it would help you at all, I'd purchase the package and send it to you.

Let me know.
[Android General] bilgerryan:
It would help more to have the bootloader unlock tool that LG has for select models(G4, G5, V10). Picking that apart would be insightful at least. I wouldn't ask you to do that if I don't know if it would help. This is my first LG device, so I'm still learning the ins and outs.
[Android General] GuySparkz:
i heard its 3g+ not 4glte when unlocked, but specs on phonescoop says it has all US 3g and 4glte bands. Does it have simultaneous voice and data when unlocked? talk and surf web on data connection not wifi? Boost Mobile does not have voice over LTE.:confused:

Is there any free or cheaper methods than ebay? is it guarantee and permanent unlock?

has anyone confirmed that the phone really has these LTE bands as listed on phonescoop? Is the GSM voice 850/1900 band coverage good when unlocked?
[Android General] goitalone:
Everything works okay, just data speed on MetroPCS is like 8Mps ish down and 5Mbps ish up.

At my home if I had a regular GSM phone on Metro, I'd get up to 120Mbps down, 40Mbps up!

Before unlock, the X Power was getting (on Boost Mobile) up to 20Mbps down, and 8Mbps up

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

One of these guys can do it as well:

EDIT:

This guy can do it, just don't ever do a hard factory reset in bootloader or it will relock because he's using an old method which is not a permanent unlock.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/152465387100 $7

If you want permanent unlock, use this guy:

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/172538895795 $27

There is no free way to do it unless you already have the box (which is expensive) like they do.

-EDITED-
[Android General] GuySparkz:
is there anyway to get rid of boost mobile bloatware? to get more than the 9.26GB of 16GB.

Is android root or kingo root any good, kingo root app? what is the best way to root? what are the benefits of rooting?
[Android General] bilgerryan:
Settings/Apps, then click on the app and hit Disable. You can disable pretty much everything but Boost Zone and LG Backup. No root yet for the Boost variant, locked bootloader. You answered your own question about the benefits of rooting, removing bloatware, access to system files, which allows for modding and endless possibilities. Also it would be good to invest in an SD card, they are really cheap nowadays.
[Android General] goitalone:
Just had someone unlock my Virgin Mobile variant because I wanted to use it on Boost, but realized afterward the MDN has to be reprogramed by Boost to be able to activate with them.

Anyway, I hard reset from within bootloader and the phone became locked again, so the guy said he'd unlock it for me again tomorrow, but his old method apparently isn't the new permanent one that the other guy used who unlocked my Boost variant.

I don't really care about unlocking it now however since I am not unlocking it for GSM and since I found out that I need Boost to reprogram MDN instead.

What a mess lol!

---------- Post added at 07:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------

Oh, btw.. now I won't believe it until I see it, but the guy said his buddy can unlock the bootloader.

Highly doubt it, but will let you all know tomorrow.

UPDATE: I was right, he didn't know now to root it.
[Android General] bilgerryan:
If we can get the bootloader unlocked root and TWRP will be no problem from there. I won't believe it until I see out either. That thing is locked down tight.
[Android General] GuySparkz:
120mbs down and 40mbps? is that metro pcs LTE or wifi? what are the carriers top LTE speed?

disabling the app as above mentioned does not uninstall the app so it still uses up valuable storage space. when its disabled its just hidden. how can i unistall boost mobile bloat ware?

the "device control" bloatware app list kingo root or android root to root the phone. i never had a rooted phone and dont know the whole scoop.

an sd card for adoptable storage to expand the available for user storage involves partitioning. is this good is there any other methods?
[Android General] goitalone:
On MetroPCS/T-Mobile, to get speeds up to 120Mbps/40Mbps, you need to change APN to either:

epc.tmobile.com

or

fast.tmobile.com
[Android General] bilgerryan:
Well you need root to remove system apps period, at this point root is not possible. I was saying use the sd card for pictures, music, etc. 9.86 GB is plenty of space for apps.
[Android General] goitalone:
I use the adoptable storage and the only problem I have is after rebooting sometimes apps disappear or (lately) shortcuts vanish.

This doesn't happen every single time, but does happen frequently when rebooting.

If this happens, just reboot til apps reappear or in case of shortcuts missing, just have to put them back manually onto home screen.

Both 32Gb and 64Gb work.

For whole card use:

[Android General] GuySparkz:
have you ever actually got 120mbs with metro pcs/tmobile?

i get 16.52mbs with boostmobile LTE, and 24.05mbs with wifi on my lg x power this is with speedtest.net app. the max on the scale is 50mbs, LTE can go above the max scale?

what do you guys get with speedtest app?
[Android General] goitalone:
Yes, it goes beyond what the meter shows.

This was when I was with MetroPCS last year using my K7.
[Android General] GuySparkz:
that impressive LTE speeds. What are boost mobile and other carriers top LTE speeds?
[Android General] goitalone:
Sprint/Boost depends on if you are in regular 4G LTE or LTE Plus coverage areas.

Watch some YouTube videos to get an idea of AT&T or Verizon.

T-Mobile is currently fastest AFAIK, at least in my area.

With Boost I only get 8-20Mps down and 7-8Mbps up
[Android General] bilgerryan:
Luckily I got the insurance with this device. After 9 days the temperature sensor went haywire, it was shutting down from overheating no matter what temperature and it refused to charge. Just had that happen this morning and just got my replacement set up. LG Backup made the switch relatively painless.
[Android General] goitalone:
Well that's a new one to me. Glad you got it sorted.
[Android General] GuySparkz:
whats the difference of sprints 4G LTE and LTE Plus? the speed difference? and are they the same frequency bands? What frequencies are they?
[Android General] goitalone:
Depends where you live.

Idk.
[Android General] goitalone:
So, have you run out of ideas for root?
[Android General] goitalone:
At this point, I'm thinking the only way to root or unlock bootloader is to obtain a Userdebug version or build which is basically impossible unless we know someone who works for LG.
[Android General] bilgerryan:
Haven't had time to work on it. I work 50+ hours a week. I don't have a lot of free time. However with all the bloat disabled this is a solid device. I honestly love it even without root.
[Android General] goitalone:
Same here, just wanted to be able to install and use Viper4Android mostly.
[Android General] bilgerryan:
Right? I found a Music app called BlackPlayer and it has a decent equalizer and the ability to boost volume. Not as good as Viper, but I can hear my Bluetooth speaker a lot better at work.
[Android General] bilgerryan:
So my replacement literally lasted one day... Pulled it out of my pocket after work (I had used it 2 hours prior) and it stayed completely unresponsive so I returned it this morning. I'm on my 3rd LG X Power. If this one dies they are doing to give me a different model. I've never had this happen with a phone that wasn't my fault, let alone twice. I hope this one is good because I really like this phone.
