That isn't a root shell, it is still a regular adb shell. That is why there is no "#"

H831 (Canadian Variant)

Sorry m8,

When trying to use the command, "adb reboot bootloader" on a H831 (Canadian Variant), it only reboots the device. Can't unlock bootloader, thus can't run exploit...

ADB does recognize the phone under the command, "adb devices" however fastboot/bootloader appears to be locked down here. And yes, under developer options the "Enable OEM unlock" option is selected. Nice to hear other variants can run the exploit but for us lonely Canadians, our first step is to unlock the bootloader lol.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nathamio:
Game Plan:

Use this to get elevated privileges to enable booting into bootloader.

Use dirty cow recovery exploit.

I'm currently using this to manipulate ALL KINDS of files on this phone. You can replace pretty much any file with something else, might be able to trick it into thinking it's a different model and letting me OEM unlock :3
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sergykm:

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nathamio:

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ExtraDan:
you guys are getting there!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nathamio:
Okay so, we need to replace the file /sys/fs/selinux/enforce with a version where the "1" is set to "0". we can't do that with dirtycow because we don't have read access. If we can modify a script that is run with permissions automatically by the android OS, we can have that script change the value, which will disable selinux and allow us to use dirtycow to enter a root shell! Then we can use said root shell to find an exploit to unlock the bootloader, and by seeing how hard it is to get around selinux, I can't imagine flipping some switch in some file to enable oem unlocking will be too hard.

I am trying to modify files and folders on my phone that are locked. this is all. 20$ thru to whoever can help me accomplish root level browsing, and deletion of files and folders using this method. (preferably using windows or a shell on the g5 as I always have access to these.)

what is the arm64-v8a is it significant that the files come from this folder?

I figured out what I needed to figure out on my own. Offer rescinded, I guess. I had an RS988 that was being mucked up by rent-a-center lock.

On the Sprint G5, couldn't we use this to pull the Android 7.0 update file, modify it, replace it and then let it install since it wouldn't be able to revert?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] SilverZero:
Seems to me it wouldn't flash in the first place because as soon as you modify it you break the signature. If it was going to be that easy somebody would have done it with a previous OTA.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Warboy:
we couldn't do it with previous OTAs because it required root permissions to write the file to my knowledge since it's not stored in the user partition.

The OTA file should have less security on it than a TOT file.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] SilverZero:
Isn't the file still signed? And wouldn't modifying it at all break the signature? And isn't the big issue at hand that the bootloader won't flash an unsigned image?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Warboy:
Well, A update would trigger a refresh of all signatures wouldn't? especially a major version update. So if we can modify the update enough to force our signatures?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] SilverZero:
Ah, well now you're over my head, so... maybe?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] henryjumbo:
Do you mean like some type of "man-in-the-middle" method? I would guess that the device is set to retrieve a signed update and if a modified or unsigned update is created the lock bootloader would cease to load the suspected update.

I wonder if it would be possible to use DirtyCow exploit to unlock the bootloader with some kind of Loki hack?

Anyone knows which process to disable too, so that I can continue using the GearVR?

Pls help... Thanks!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
I think you have to edit the build-prop (which means you need to be rooted) to get the Gear VR to work.

As far as the 2 system sdm updates - they are on both my Note 7's, but then I haven't ever taken an OTA or any update as I disabled all of that first thing I got the phones (one was my OG N7, the other the replacement N7). So I can't help you if you have already taken an update, but those system SDMs should be there unless they removed them in an update somehow, which I doubt.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] flanky79:
Ya, after I received the replacement on 16/9/16 (Singapore), I received an OTA update within the next couple of days that give the green battery.

That is the only update I received.

If it helps, my version is 6.0.1,

Baseband: N960FXXU2BPI5

Build number: MMB29K.N930FXXU2BPI9

So strange... :(

Does that mean the only choice I have is to root the phone? :(

What is the best "stock" rooted package now?

I'm fine with the default Samsung apps generally, and does not need to have much default functions disabled.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
This is the first Android phone I have not rooted. Ever. So honestly, I cannot guide you on the root process, as I never did it on either of my Note 7's. I was eventually going to root, but then the recalls hit and I figured there was no point since I will be giving it up soon. But if you took the green battery update, my understanding is that you cannot root and cannot go back to the previous firmware. I do not know if the update you took got rid of the two system update SDM's, someone else will have to help you with that. I would bet that you can still prevent further OTA's with package disabler pro - however, I do not know that for sure. Hopefully others will see this thread and these posts and chime in with info that clears this up for you.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
My replacement N7 DL'd the update first thing. I did remove the sim and also shut off WIFI, but it had already DL'd the update. But I did not let it install the update. I rebooted and skipped activating the phone. I didn't do any of the first boot setup stuff - skipped all of that, then went to the play store, logged in with my gmail and first thing I installed as package disabler pro. I immediately disabled all the System updates (4 packages). After that I quit getting the notice to install the already DL'd update. Once you disable the System update SDM's, you can't even get into the phone update OTA selection in settings, it kicks you right out. So even though it had DL'd the update, I was able to prevent it from installing.

I do think the phone is trying to look for an update constantly now though. When I look at my GSM battery monitor, system updates is right near the top of what android system is using all the time. I still have excellent battery life, but I think disabling OTA system updates will make the phone constantly try to look for updates that it simply can't run because the SDM's are disabled. I can live with that as gimping the phone with a crappy OTA that limits the battery or might add other possible things I didn't want was the main goal. Phone runs great and battery life is great. That's all I need.

The UrgentFWUpdateTSP sounds like what they will use to push a kill switch or battery crippler to them.
