This has been the only thread I've found worth looking at https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=66165164. I found a tool to extract kdz on a French website (thank you Google Translate), but haven't found anything on how to recompile them. On top of that with the anti rollback we would have to have a kdz for the latest build or people that have updated won't be able to use it.

Just done a bit of spring cleaning, can we keep it on track and friendly please guys. Lets not let the thread get out of hand

uhh... for Samsung devices only... I tried it before and did nothing... unless I'm seriously missing something here
[Android General] bilgerryan:
Awed? Why? I have those disabled without the use of any app. System/Apps->Show System, click on app, hit Disable.
[Android General] :
I was going to say the same thing. I am awed though, but I won't mention why.
[Android General] bilgerryan:
Ok, it's not an X Power... Sure. I'm sorry, but the post you posted last time did not do ANYTHING on my device. I'm skeptical this time.
[Android General] :
Looks just like mine does.
[Android General] KnowledgeKing:
fine.

its just a simple tool for non rooted phones to disable apps beyond what can be disabled by default. (which is infact, very expansive)

so, then, if you're over that. then it's really just about achieving root. which, cannot be done using kingroot, towelroot, flashfire, twrp, supersu, the CF-auto root method, or any other way. Except LG Root. So really, if we're gonna try to root, and everyone thinks the method is too outdated, then we need that guy who was bragging that he had 5 phones to follow the instructions and see if he can get root anyway. i read them over. seems legitimate. i even downloaded the LG root tool. just dont want to use it and brick my only lg x power. Need that guy who was bragging to test, or someone else to volunteer.

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

if it looks just like yours then you'll notice there are things you can't disable using that method.

Let me make this clear to you and everyone, your posts that were deleted had nothing to do with "spreading knowledge" and "debloating phones" they were removed for discussing/linking warez nothing else

Pretty sure I read somewhere on this thread that someone has tried the old LG root and and I'm pretty sure someone has said it doesn't work on marshmallow or nougat

https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/42273/

I cross-compiled and gave it a shot even though it says it's for x86. Nothing. Anybody know how to modify the source to potentially make it work for armv7l?

Edit: I ran it three times simultaneously (./offset2lib | ./offset2lib | ./offset2lib) and the phone rebooted lol
[Android General] bilgerryan:
Android uses a modified Linux kernel, I don't think this will work even if it were compiled correctly. Closest I've gotten is temp root with the dirty cow exploit. You could only use adb commands and changes revert on reboot.
[Android General] Neclaris:
Ah, man. This is a heaping stack of garbage haha
[Android General] bilgerryan:
The phone or my response?
[Android General] Neclaris:
Neither really. Just bad memory word play(Stack/Heap) lol
[Android General] toxinburn:
Ya I tried it when I had this device did not work however it does allow for sending commands and files through com port while in that mode I also was able to put the device in "Sahara" mode which may of had some.potential but it was above my experience on where to go from that point wish I still had this device just to experiment with.
[Android General] bilgerryan:
There's also this part of the thread that everybody apparently missed (the note at the bottom is pretty important). When I did decide to try it (when I had the money for a replacement if something went wrong), I got to the last step and everything I tried failed. So there is potential for pushing other things to /system, but in my experience this device will not allow binaries to be pushed.
[Android General] toxinburn:
I was actually able to push the binaries to tmp I believe and never did it brick but when the script ran it didn't stick upon reboot from what I recall.
[Android General] bilgerryan:
Yeah, basically what I was talking about with temp root.
[Android General] KnowledgeKing:
If temp root can be achieved, cannot then permaroot be achieved using superSU while temp root is active?
[Android General] :
Not necessarily.
[Android General] :
So, try it.

[Android General] toxinburn:
Basically would need full source code and device tree along with twrp or similar recovery and kernel would have to disable dm verity among other things and even still its a dice roll. The reason flagships get cracked so often is because many times the source gets released as it really should get released in full for all devices as the license that anyone agrees to when building any sort of linux states as much, however the big companies are not really too concerned about anyone trying to force them to do the right thing and until someone actually finds a real way to hold their feet to the fire with it....it just aint gonna happen, they want us to keep their crappy apps and bloat to make their partners happy and their wallets fatter. You could piece together your own device tree as well but it is easier said than done on a device in which their are so many variants and no perm root. All i can hope is that the future programmers for these big companies don't forget us here at xda and leave us some loopholes lol I assume certain of the more well known rom builders most likely have insider info when it comes to how the boot img is signed etc, ultimately if we had the correct key to sign images with we could flash to any devices without disabling any of the security. Needless to say that info is not given out.
[Android General] bilgerryan:
I couldn't have said it better. And even with the flagships they are taking longer and longer to crack and some variants never do. I feel like all the American phones are getting locked down tight (except T Mobile, whose signal is horrible in my area sadly), while the international ones are always rooted and bootloader unlocked relatively quickly.

[Android General] NoBrickToday:
I have been reading many of these posts. I see that root isn't coming to the LG X Power anytime soon. People are saying they can't unlock the boot loader. 7 taps on the build # in settings gets you there. All phones you can unlock the boot loader by getting the developer setting opened. Then in there is also USB debugging. It is the same menu in all of the droids I have seen. Had many droid phones. Still have the first MOTO with the slide out keyboard. Totally functional. The others got bricked by my phone being rooted. Then turned into a target. I want to be a developer. I need a hobby. Soon I'm getting those learning programs from here. Just wish I could root my phone. (hand slap's forehead)
[Android General] Neclaris:
You can enable developer options and allow the OEM Unlock, but the bootloader is hidden/encrypted/protected by lasers/maybe in another dimension.
[Android General] NoBrickToday:
:cyclops::cyclops: sure pulled a bone on that. Isn't there access to the bootloader in the stock recovery on the phone. I know most of whats there is useless. I still can't get a custom recovery on my device.:p
[Android General] Neclaris:
Lol yeah, on the LS755 it seems completely locked down though. On the LS740 download mode had to be 0'd out and that forced fastboot. That requires # privs though I think..
[Android General] NoBrickToday:
Neclaris

In your opinion whats an inexpensive droid to root on Boost? I like prepaid.:cowboy:
[Android General] Neclaris:
This is only my second one. Before that it was the LG Volt (LS740) which was decent enough at the time (2014).
[Android General] NoBrickToday:
I will take a look at that. I was with Tmobile on a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime rooted. Odin rooted that one. Had to change service because I relocated. I then ran into this bumper of root impossible. Looked in Odin and they didn't have the file for the X power.:crying: I never thought this would happen. Just sucks.:(
[Android General] Neclaris:
There's a Volt 2, but I haven't used it. Just look on their site or in stores and find one that suits your needs, then Google the exact model number and ensure it has a working and current root method and you should be good to go.
[Android General] NoBrickToday:
Was looking at the first one on boost saw the #2 just didn't look it up. Great battery 3000mah.

The power has a 4000mah. So thats crazy cool. You rooted it right?
[Android General] Neclaris:
Yeah the battery is crazy. The Volt, yeah there's a working method. There's a buggy Nougat Rom too. That being said, the DPI is only 480p and it doesn't have much memory, etc.
[Android General] NoBrickToday:
1GB ram I think I saw. Found other cheepos at walmart. I'm still going to wait in frustration for a root. You can get a rooted android on your desktop. Called bluestacks. Going to try to link that program to this page. To big to put on here. You want Blue stacks rooted. Stay away from Andy Android. Its your phone on your PC. Really fun.

Hi

Is there any chance to recover your LG X power using kdz tot or UP for LS755.

I can't seem to find any recovery file. Or is there any method to build a kdz or tot ?

Thanks
[Android General] :
Since I finally got AOSPA built for my Surnia, I started to build stock ls755 firmware yesterday but I've ran into a lot of errors. It figures it wouldn't go as smoothly as the readme in the stock source makes it sound. I'm hoping if I can get it to build with supersu and an su binary added, it will some what solve our problem. I'm just trying to get it built unmodified first. I'm not sure if it's going to output a kdz file, or what. So, cross your fingers people!
[Android General] Hnk1:
Great news mate. I found this online somewhere and I am not sure if this could be of help!

Some way to root LG x power? :(

Really?
[Android General] miniandroidp:
You can root with kingroot Im pretty sure mine is kingsu 3.42 not newer one . Dont reset and be prepare for how to get not reset you can learn from here xda form. Dont ask me how to remove after you did reset . Some things like that if you got root done xpower by kingroot su older version better prepare for not reset dont install any of root apks. Made sure kinguser . Kinguser.apk move to user app from system app or use supersume and do it first kind of hurry . I got 3 cricket 2 job done . One reboot or reset itself . Dont ask me help wish I know can help you. after all hard steps done ?like what rooted phone likes wait for twrp if someone can . If some one want to root cricket boost with any lock bootloader can root with kingroot becareful reset. Hope help one more things Im not a pro just alot of time with phone playing mostly I try to kill the phone ? anyway you done root xpower after with kingroot dont go no where just delete kingoot but leave it alone root backup thats the easy way and something wrong you can use kingroot and reroot again. If you not remove kingroot something went wrong you cant root again with king coz kingroot already in your system the phone block anyroot android 6.0 like xpower. I done root I didnt find no where xpower root and I find out how take forever to root lg but worth the remove cricket junk . Whoever want to root try carefully I repeat you cant remove kinguser forever and lose the root too if reboot the phone without delete kinguser in system app ok. Sorry .

Cheers X power !!

I want to tell you that I have been able to delete applications according to http://www.youtube.com/watch? V = hlJmlWMpqoA & t = 53s and disabled others to my k220ar but I still have an out of logic consumption. I mean that at night low about 5% the battery, and if I put it in plane mode 2%, in any case is very high considering that it is a battery of 4100 mah, also if I compare it with my previous Mobile (LG G2), in airplane mode was 0% or 1 to 2% without it.

On the other hand in the Spy Cpu I see that it enters Deep Sleep, but also that there is a lot of time in the frequencies 1040-819 MHz, about 15% in the course of the night doing nothing.

Although the characteristics of X power make it have a great autonomy does not stop calling my attention this behavior and ask me how much better it would be if this did not happen, will have relation to the processor, with some configuration ??, someone else has the same consumption by the night ??

Thank you very much for any comments!

[Android General] DanHutchins:
If you read his post carefully he contradicts himself most of the time. I agree it is hard to understand what he is saying but read one line then the next and it says the opposite. I doubt there is an app. Just someone trying to get hopes up.
[Android General] goitalone:
Yeah simple nonsense
[Android General] Hnk1:
No news on nougat but it is a possibility. Not sure when exactly though.

I suppose as long as a proper KDZ isn't available for Ls755 , I do not think I be taking any risk to root it. I have few methods in theory but I am not sure if anyone is willing to risk it. If there's any KDZ available, I think there be more breakthrough with rooting and maybe a custom recovery if the bootloader can be hacked or patched.
[MENTION=5768732]amarc78[/MENTION] I believe is working on a kdz and I hope he comes up with one soon and only then, I think more efforts would be made to root as most likely if you have rooted your device and bootloader is locked, it will end up in a bootloop.

Root via Magisk?

Has anyone tried root with magisk? The beta version 13.6 does not need custom recovery to install because it can be installed via adb

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445?nocache=1
[Android General] :
Even if it would actually install it, you need to be able to boot to the bootloader to use adb. Which we can't do so...
[Android General] dougluna:
(Advanced) Via ADB (Only support v13.6+):

You don't need a custom recovery and no root is needed, but you will need a stock boot image backup/dump beforehand

Unzip your downloaded Magisk zip

Enter the folder you've just extracted (let's call it zip folder), copy your stock boot image here and rename it to boot.img

Rename the folder with the name of your device's CPU architecture to magisk_inject.

If you don't know your device's architecture, try running adb shell getprop ro.product.cpu.abi to check it out

Double check if the zip folder contains the following files or folders: META-INF, boot.img, common, magisk_inject

Open terminal, change the directory to the zip folder, and run the following command one line by a time (you might want to copy them since they are pretty long)

---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

[Android General] :
Ok, then it might work for you. Try it.I can't. People should start specifying what device they have and are talking about here.
[Android General] losoollenos:
Ok I commented that very excited I left to try all this but it did not work (now I'm trying to get my phone back to life via LG Bridge).

I got everything, unlock bootloader, the original boot of my model K220ar, modify it with Magisk and flash it for fastboot, but on boot it gave an error message and it was turned off only. Then I did a hard reset from the recovery but nothing changed, error and then off.

Maybe someone with more knowledge can give us some clue to solve it or maybe simply the root still does not work with Magisk, any ideas ??

PS: I wonder if it will be possible to install kdz with LGup, the Lg Bridge takes a long time to download .......
[Android General] :
You probably need to have the boot.img made modified to be insecure. I'm not sure about LG's, but with all the Motorola's I've played with this is what has to be done after modifying anything​ or they won't boot.
[Android General] GoodLieYoung:
I would try CyanogenMod installer, it still says it's not supported for this device of course knowing that cyan does not work well with LG and HTC. It wouldn't hurt to give it a go though, it installs itself using adb from your pc.
[Android General] bilgerryan:
It might hurt a lot, especially since there isn't a kdz since ZV4 to recover with. What would they do if it causes a bootloop? That's not going to achieve root and probably going to cause nothing but problems.
