I flashed back to stock with lg bridge and also did factory format with hard buttons. There is no way to root again and boot up succesfully. Somehow lg bridge and also factory format leaves some partions untouched that still have something from supersu. So i erased all partitions in fastboot...

I shouldn't have cause now my phone can't connect at all. Not even in download mode.

I suggest if anyone tried any method to root unsuccesfully that should not try this method. It will not boot up...:S

Thats all for now. I'll try to exchange my phone and then start again...

I can't make lg up to work with the k8. There is no lgup...dll.msi to install. Any ideas?

Maybe the boot image is not turned back to stock not by factory format nor by lg bridge... this migth cause the mess with Supersu install after turnig back to stock... With lg up we could reflash the full stock system and try rooting again...

If anyone plans to root save your stock boot image first, might come handy later...

[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
439? Are you sure? I guess it must be 430... however i belive the only method is the above described one. If you ever attempted rooting the device i suggest not to do that unless you can flash it back to fully stock.

Are there any easier ways to root it? It seems a bit of difficult to me(k430)
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
I'm afraid until SuperSU is not "lz4" compatible there is no easier method. I't not so difficult anyways as long as you can make a fastboot connection. There is always download mode and lg bridge if anything goes wrong...;)

PS. if you ever attempted to root this device before then most likely it's not gonna work... unless you can make LgUP see your k430 and reflash the whole firmware.

Thanks for the information, but i'm new to bootloader and recovery, so are there any video guides about this process?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
There are many video guides on youtube but not for this particular case. I guess you can search each step separately and put the whole picture together.

[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:

It also uses carliv so i guess its basically the same, isn't it?

The principle of obtaining root.

Install SuperSU via TWPR.

We have the boot ramdisk

compression in lz4,it is not

supported so first comes the

installation boot with

compression gz,then install SuperSU,

and boot back lz4

Sorry for my bad English.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] salaigeethan666:
I would love to try this.. but I tried flashing the supersu package previously and it didn't work.. my phone boots up properly.. but my usb isn't working anymore. I can't get into fastboot anymore cos there is no hardware shortcut to enter into that and Without ADB i can't go into fastboot. is there any way to fix this? pls help
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
You mean you unlocked bootloader via "fastboot oem unlock". Right after that you used "fastboot boot twrp.img"? Then you rebooted from twrp without swiping on anything only canceling and then reboot to system?

Your device boots up with the message or it doesn't boot up but shuts down?

You can try reinstall the same firmware, go to fastboot and use the "fastboot getvar all" command to see if your bootloader is locked or not.

Just becouse you unlocked bootloader the phone should not shut down after the message. You either clicked on something in twrp you shouldn't have or you flashed twrp not just boot into it.

Whats on your phones screen after you use the "fastboot oem unlock" command and chose yes?

What happens if you "fastboot oem unlock" then take out the battery to reboot?

Please answer the questions one-by-one to let me see the problem easily.

Hi,i got some question for twrp,after rooting my device,can i flash some stuffs like bootanimations and did have some option to instal xposed?tnky
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordSywon:
Somehow whenever I unpack my boot.img to gz the file goes from 16mb to 9mb, then I install SU & repack back to lz4 and its still 10mb. So basically 6mb is getting cut out when unpacking with carliv.

This is causing my phone to get stuck on bootloops. Is there any reason for this issue? My model is LG K10 K430DSF & im using the TWRP ported by berkantkz
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
I don't know about the bootanimations but xposed works well.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Why don't you use the new method ( https://xdaforums.com/lg-k10/how-to/friendly-root-method-lg-k8-k10-t3531223 )? This thread is outdated.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordSywon:
I did tried that aswell, same issue, its something to do with the boot compression modification...

I made a little test.

1 - boot up on TWRP

2 - went to install > rce_univ.zip

3 - didnt modified anything

3 - install rce_univ.zip again to convert it back to the original compression

4 - bootlooped

So basically all I did was switch out and in the compression, without even reboot the device and it gave me bootloop.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Did you have the device corrupt message at boot up before the test?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Whats the security date of your firmware? Maybe you need to "refresh" twrp a bit (i mean port a new one that really fits your sec.date).

Anyways the boot image size is approx 10-11Mb when its compressed with lz4 and 9-10Mb when its compressed with gzip. When you back up with TWRP it backs up the whole partition which is 16Mb. The boot image itself is smaller.

If you simply try to unpack and repack without changing compression, you will see the difference.

However i believe the source of the problem might be the answer to the question in my previous post.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] meckar:
Ok ,sorry for asking all the time but your steps for rooting are perfect,did you have some tuttorial or know some way for innstaling xposed.Tnky again
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Just follow the process as it's described on the xposed thread. Meaning you need to download the XposedInstaller_3.1.apk and the zip (sdk23/arm version). Install the zip in twrp then boot up and install the apk.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] meckar:
Again flood,sorry man but i rly need this knowledge.Did i need asc file,1 step installing xposedinstaller_apk,2 boot in twrp via adb,3 step install xposed-v87-sdk23-arm.zip via twrp and then reboot system?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
I think it doesn't matter if you start with installing the apk or the zip.

I'd boot into twrp via adb and install xposed-v87-sdk23-arm.zip first then the apk.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordSywon:
I did had the corrupt message, basically its like this

1 - Phone vibrates indicating its booting

2 - Show the LG logo for about 1 sec

3 - Shows the corrupted message and go back to step 1

And btw, how to check my security date?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
I meant if you had the message after unlocking the bootloader but before the rooting proces, like this:

1 - Phone vibrates indicating its booting

2 - Show the LG logo for about 1 sec

3 - Shows the corrupted message then lg logo again and then boot into system.

Did you have it before you started the rooting proces?

Sec.date is in options/about phone.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordSywon:
No, actually not I didn't had the message and the phone was booting just fine but the moment I did the rooting process via TWRP, after I finished it, I was stuck on bootloop.

About the secutrity date, is it on android itself or on TWRP?

If its on android should it be Settings > About phone > Software info > Android security patch level?

If it is: 2017-02-01
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
You cant do the root if there is no message before. Read the OP of the new thread. You have to unlock bootloader, reboot phone then go to twrp swipe to allow system modifications, reboot phone (now you will have the message) then go to twrp and do the root. Without the message during boot up there is no chance to make it work. But go to the new thread and read the OP. Its described there.

Also consider using the twrp fitting your sec.patch level which is as you said 2017-02-01
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordSywon:
I ran the fastboot getvar all and it says there that my bootloader is unlocked...

--Edit

I got a question, where you said "You have to unlock bootloader, reboot phone then go to twrp swipe to allow system modifications, reboot phone (now you will have the message) then go to twrp and do the root."

Lets say I reboot, got the message and im ready to root, then I go into fastboot and boot up the twrp. This time, should I allow system modifications or not? Cause on this topic of yours it says to keep read only: https://xdaforums.com/lg-k10/how-to/friendly-root-method-lg-k8-k10-t3531223
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Once you swiped and you have the message at boot up you dont need to swipe it again. Keep it read only.

If you ever reflash firmware the bootloader remains unlocked but you have to swipe again.

Dont forget that the twrp has to be ported to your firmware exactly by security date to make sure the root process ends succesful. I think there is a port for you in the first comment of the new thread.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordSywon:
I used this one "Lg k10 k430dsy (firmware: 10k - 2017 feb security date): http://viid.me/qm2Tg5"

I assumed the sec date is the same as mine. Somehow tho I keep getting bootlooped. Just tested it out...

All I see is, the screen goes black, then turns it on, show the charging sign for half a sec and show the corrupted message, then boot again

--EDIT

Do you think all of this may be caused because my TWRP might be different? I'm gonna make a ported version using your tutorial and see if it works.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Well, yes, im afraid if you have the DSF version, the DSY version is not gonna work. Some reason the process is very sensitive to the right TWRP. I can't find your firmware though so you should grab it using the guides available here and extract your stock recovery. Then you (or me) can port you the twrp you need.

Everything is described in the TWRP porter thread.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordSywon:
Just did everything, even using the ported TWRP didnt worked, still stuck on bootloop.

I did had a supersu folder on my root though, may that be causing this? Also should I try to use the rce_univ.zip 1.0?

Look what I found on the other topic https://xdaforums.com/lg-k10/how-to/lucky-day-t3557148

It seems that LG latest security update is messing with super user or something... maybe I need to downgrade my sec patch? Would that work or it doesnt matter?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
So you ported twrp for the "dsf" version?

I don't know. If i were you i'd give it one last try by reflashing firmware and making a hard reset (or use lg up with refurbish option), just to be sure you deleted all the mess and start from "scratch" and if it still not works maybe its really the new security patch so maybe you have to reflash an older firmware if you can (reflashing an older firmware might not work though).
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordSywon:
I did ported twrp to my version, I follow your guide, and took the kdz that LG Bridge installed into my phone, decompressed, took the recovery file, then ported twrp.

And then I did this, step by step:

1 - Restored the original firmware via LG Bridge, since it was bootlooped.

2 - After it booted up with the freshly new firmware, i did the basics (dev options > usb debugging).

3 - Fired up adb and did "adb reboot bootloader".

3 - "fastboot getvar all", checked if the oem was unlocked... it was... then I just did fastboot reboot and moved on(also I did tried to go through with the oem unlock before, same result).

4 - "fastboot boot twrp.img"

5 - canceled the encryption thing, swiped right, Reboot > Bootloader

6 - canceled encryption, Keep Read only, then installed rce_univ.zip, back, supersu, back, rce_univ.zip again.

7 - back again, Reboot > System

8 - boom, bootlooped.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
You missed the hard reset part after reflashing firmware.

I mean as a last resort... cos all the rest you do as you're supposed to.

Well... if you unlocked bootloader again that would behave as a hard reset so maybe there is really no chance. It might be the new security patch. Im waiting for it to my device and then i can be sure...
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordSywon:
I reflashed the firmware via LG UP with refurbish, lets hope this fix it for me.

Nope, same thing, at this point I think K430DSF is not rooteable. The worst thing is that theres ton of phone company trash apk's on my phone, and these are installed as system apps so I cant force remove it.

:/

Anyways, thanks for the help man, in case I get any news I'll post.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordSywon:
Got it to work finally, what I did was this.

- Downgraded my firmware to one of the sec date from last year, I guess it was 2016-06 or something like that

- Used this TWRP https://xdaforums.com/lg-k10/development/teamwinrecoveryproject-3-0-0-0-lg-k10-t3404434

- Used the BETA-SuperSU-v2.65 instead of the SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815

Those are the only changes I made that got it to work, case someone else has the model K430DSF.

Thanks [MENTION=7672348]gottlasz[/MENTION] for helping me out through this, but I have a little question, can I safely lock back my bootloader? So I dont get the warning all the time? Or that will reset back the firmware?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:

Hi gottlasz :D how can i unlock my K10's bootloader please help me :P Sorry for my bad english.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Can you put your k10 into fastboot via ADB? There are some k10s that has no fastboot...:S There is a link in the OP where you find detailed instructions...
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aerieana:
Does this include failed root attempts using one-click-root apps?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
I guess not because if you were not rooted and your bootloader was locked there is not much chance for oneclick roots to do any changes. However as long as there are not many feedbacks on such cases i cannot be sure. If you have no data or apps to lose (or you can do backup) you can just simply give it a try. If your phone would not boot after this method you can always use lg bridge to make it work again. If you want to go for sure you may try lg bridge first with your phone in download mode and chose "update error recovery". This way you will know if lg bridge can repair your phone (there is a chance to lose data with this but its not for sure). There is also the hard reset option (http://www.hardreset.info/devices/lg/lg-k8-4g-k350n/)

Any feedback would be appretiated...

Thanks for your response sir Happy Halloween :good::good::good:
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wizzardsk:
I wonder you had no boot verification error. I would try it too, but I am a little afraid. Also, the OTA updates will be unavailable too. It was so on my older rooted phones.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Correct me if i'm wrong but i think the systemless root method keeps the OTA available.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Thanks for the step-by-step version i just have two comments:

- there is a more detailed description in the link at the bottom of the OP

- for the k8 models you need to use the twrp for the k8 (also available through that link)

i don't even suggest the video tutorial anyways since you need to understand what you do i little bit deeper then just watching a video and follow it. You better try (practice) fastboot, twrp and carliv a bit before heading to the full process...
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wizzardsk:

[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] berkantkz:

This method work for lg k10 (ms428) ?

Since it's marshmallow and it's lz4 compression and theres a twrp for ms428

this method is required to change lz4 to gz, so if I install it without changing the boot.img and leave it on lz4 will it work?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] salaigeethan666:
K10 ms428 (LG K10 MetroPCS) is a qualcomm variant right? you could try and let us know.. but if you try flashing supersu without changing the boot to gz, it will fail..
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Most likely it will work. There is only one thing you have to understand. When you flash supersu in TWRP it will unpack your boot image in order to tweak it and then repack it. Supersu can not unpack lz4 compressed boot images that's why you have to manually unpack and repack it to gzip compression. However i'm not sure if it's necessary to repack the gzipped boot image to lz4 again after the supersu tweak because when i tried to load TWRP which was gzipped it also booted into it (while the stock recovery is lz4 compressed). So i guess it migth work with gzip compression but might boot up a bit slower since lz4 is a faster compression method.

If you want to go for sure you better repack to lz4 after the supersu flash.

So if you can unlock your bootloader and boot into TWRP anyways and your TWRP can handle your boot image (i mean it can back it up and reflash it) you must be good to go.

Just make a backup of your boot image first it might come in handy later...

If anyone has any info about why the gzip compressed TWRP can boot up from fastboot even if the stock recovery is lz4 compressed and what influece the compression of each partition has please enlighten us/me. I wonder if we could skip the last step (recompress the gzipped boot image to lz4).

Sir okay I get it now, but in step 7 i already open the boot.img-ramdisk-compress file with note ++ but it just a empty space no "lz4" word or text I've found

You said

07) Converting the boot image from lz4 to gz

- run the carliv image kitchen on your pc

- copy "boot.emmc.win" file from the twrp backup and paste in the carliv image kitchen's boot-resources folder.

- Rename it as bootlz4.img

- unpack it

- right click "boot.img-ramdisk-compress" file and open with notepad/text editor.

- change lz4 to gz and save

- repack

- copy output file to the adb folder. rename it as bootgz.img

change lz4 to gz?? but theres no any lz4 word on it? any help??
