I have no idea of what bump means and the thread has no details about it.

Chainfire goes on to explain that the directions are specifically for the pixel and pixel XL only in that second link.

Can anyone whos able to download a terminal emulator onto their device and type this command:

getprop ro.build.type

You should get a response like this:

user

If yours says: userdebug, then take a screenshot and post here as well!

While we wait we are trying to see if anyone else wass lucky enough to get a debug phone...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] 1619415:
If you'd like to use ADB (via your Computer) you can use: adb shell getprop ro.build.type

[MENTION=4668174]EMSpilot[/MENTION] was super awesome and bought a $840 (make sure to thank him!!!) debug model of the V20 which should help us get closer to a root method!

[MENTION=4965298]tungkick[/MENTION] knows how

Also, how did he get his hands on a userdebug version?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
i hit [MENTION=4965298]tungkick[/MENTION] up on skype no redponses.. i hit up the VN guy as well and he said no one can except LG lol

the person he purchased it from supposedly bought it on ebay before it was even released and it surely is a debug phone..

the BL was unlocked by default and it had adb root shell out of the box lol

this does NOT mean we are set.. before further testing on other devices we need to either create a tot using pulled files or pull a tot from the device using an octoplus box or similar.. that is the next step.. then we have ppl willing to sacrifice their devices in hopes it flashes fine and still boots but from looks of it were at another wall
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedvip:
I forgot if you had mentioned this before or not but which variant is this debug phone?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
Tungkick has been gone for a little while, but I am thinking about buying a Z3x box myself. I will let you know if I do end up buying one but they're just so damn expensive :/
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
its unlocked us variant.. but we are needing a tot so we can do further testing.. it is not carrier specific

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

i believe we tried the software and it doesnt support the v20 yet.. hopefully the octoplus does..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jellybear456:
Does this support our still locked v20s!?! Or only the unlocked US version?

LG released an official bootloader unlock tool for the "US Open market". It still may be able to help us.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/11/24/lgs-bootloader-unlock-tool-supports-lg-v20-us-open-market/
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
i highly doubt it.. the steps required we cannot even do lol.. at least not on verizon as we cant even get into fastboot and no option to unlock oem in developer options
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jellybear456:
Damn it. Was really hoping this could at least help in some sort of way.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] netgar:
Im tmobile user and rooted already. I wish you guys the same thing. Getting root on verizon, att and sprint version. I bet lg v20 development would get even better.

Happy Thanksgiving guys.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryuk359:
I have OEM unlock option on the ATT variant just can't get into fastboot to unlock it. Tried the couple workarounds I knew but no dice.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Raxsymelich:
I don't guess it means anything at all that the version this bootloader unlock tool is for is the "US996", and the Sprint version is the "US997", only one digit off, eh?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Nope. We will NEVER be able to unlock using that method. They still have fast boot access. They didn't have the required "key" but now they do.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jestedsniper:
It's been silent for a couple of days in here, so I'm going to offer my services.

I have an AT&T variant as well as several multi-cpu servers at my disposal. I'm willing to test things directly on my phone as well as setting up a compiler to compile anything that you guys need.

Whatever I can do to help, just PM me.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
We are actively trying different ways to gain access. we have tried at least 20 different known methods. Honestly we are running out if ideas. We need more devs! We can compile things directly and edit them to our liking but LG and Google locked this b$#&h down good
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] 414isaiah:
Time to leave sprint, i guess
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
att verizon and surely other us variants arent any different outside of tmo or the us unlocked lol.. unfortunately lots of phones are going to be this way moving forward with N..

we need some actual devs.. surely they have an easier time than us lol.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryuk359:
Did you guys ever figure out how exactly they disabled fastboot?

And has anyone posted this on Reddit? Idk any other places a dev would see it.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
i believe its irrelevant at this point.. even if it was "disabled" we do not have temp root to modify anything needed/necessary to get it back as its most likely not readable for dirty cow for example
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryuk359:
Well with ATT variant that's all we really need to unlock the bootloader. We still have the unlock options. I know Verizon doesn't. Don't know about sprint. Adb works. Fastboot doesn't. Just throwing ideas I know I'm out of my league.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
the unlock options mean nothing unfortunately without fastboot mode to run the unlock commands.. that is why we have a joint team trying on each device but we are limited in knowledge as we are not hardcore devs..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Skripka:
Wild thought....the theming engine itself has to have some bit of system R/W perms. Have you looked into that end?

I've been looking into adding 3rd party fonts via apk....and the built-in font engine puts user installed font .TTF files into /System/Fonts....which a normal user on an unrooted handset with a file manager can only read the contents of. The theming engine itself has to have system R/W perms to in order to put overlays where they belong too.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
where is the them engine located? i can check to see what permissions it has.. however even if it has rw doesnt mean its able to write outside its normal operating mode meaning it most likely is not capable of writing to /init

---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 PM ----------

The issue we have is the temp root shell crashes the gui.. it has root but can only access files allowed by selinux for the system_server context which unfortunately isnt full rw access to the system..

we cannot modify the sepolicy since we cant access it to be able to modify the context if that makes sense.. then again if we could modify init, we can modify selinux and use another file to reload the policy without it crashing/rebooting the phone allowing full temp root as someone did on the s7 active using dnsmasq (dnsmasq does not work for us as we tried it)

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------

if anyone knows how to work lib files we can overwrite libc.so but when its overwritten it completely crashes the phone forcing a reboot which in turn reverts the change but if carefully done or patched? it could be used to invoke root priveleges in a shell as if carefully done (from what im told) will not crash the device

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

to add however, libc.so is beyond our level of expertise..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] justinswidebody:
Any way you could push the libc.so from the T-Mobile variant?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
why? we have an us unlocked debug variants libc lol.. and yes you can push it but it crashes the system entirely forcing a reboot and reverting any changes due to selinux
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] justinswidebody:
With this temp shell, it is probably possible for me to get us a hotspot hack going for the sprint users. Send me a pm to a hangouts or free node and I'll talk to you guys tonight. Can I get the temp shell with Windows or do I need to boot Linux?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdmsohc22:
It's unfortunate that the rooting and flashing rom days are seemingly long gone for many of us.. I remember coming on and being able to pick from a plethora of custom roms to try out, and also being able to easily debloat stuff just by using an AOSP rom or something of the CM build nature.. Oh well, i guess the Android gods aren't tryna have us tinkering with stuff like that anymore..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
the temp shell is already posted in the lg v20 section if youd like to try.. also, it can be used on linux or mac osx..

if you are referring to utilizing the dnsmasq we already attempted that and it will not work for us..

is this the method you are referring to?

I'm trying to talk a linux dev I know into doing some work on this. Can one of the devs that is in the Hangout's group message me what's been tried so far so I can give that info to my friend? I've basically got him to the point that he's ready to start working on it, and I'm having to learn as I go on this.

Well lesson learned I'll know next time not to jump right into things. The only reason why I got this was because of the storage and since I had the 32g note 5 I was very unhappy. Should of just got the 64g model when I went to get this beautiful letdown lol
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] crazyut:
I've been reading with interest regarding this. I just got the H915 (Freedom/WIND version) and am thinking of returning it (I have up to 14 days) unless root can be obtained.

I have tried various ways to unlock the bootloader with fastboot (I was hoping it was like T-mobile with the ability to unlock (but adb reboot bootloader just reboots the system; recovery screen shows no command (in white letters) and download mode looked like the G5 (which I have from T-mobile but with the dreaded mac address changing after every reboot) but it wasn't; WIND's Moto X Play was bootloader unlockable though).

I am guessing it's like the American carriers whom have locked bootloaders so I am game in the next few days to try anything to get at the bootloader. Now, to continue reading this thread.

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

For H915 model,

*#546368#*915#

So far, haven't found anything for bootloader and don't know enough to know if anything in the submenus helps.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:

the tcp root shell was already posted in the general guides section for the lg v20 as i advised before.. the new shell wehave isnt really posted yet but you can access certain things in each shell that the other cant so in combination you have access to quite a few things including /init which is important to us

I hope this helps but 2 different LG customer service reps told me that if i were to use my AT&T V20 on verizon i would need to unlock it forst and after that my bootloader would be accessable. Now I'm no expert but from my con ersations i gatherd that if the device is carrier unlocked then the bootloader would be accessable is this possible or is this just as farfet hed as a Galaxy S1 turning into Megatron?

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------

Hey has anyone looked at the build prop through root explorer cuz it says oem_unlock_supported=1 what does this mean?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] adds08:
no carrier unlocking will in no sense access bootloader..

and about the build.prop its just there for the show.. in dev option you can have enable oem unlock ticked but it does nothing on the lower level.. just a thing put to add to ur frustration ..

plus the customer service do not have any knowledge about bootloader unlock as most misunderstand it with carrier unlock..

carrier unlock --> put sim of different carrier

bootloader unlock --> enables to flash compatible unsigned software(kernel,system,recovery.etc)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Growking99:
Thanks cor clearing that up I i know what the diccerence is but didnt know if it was possible didn't seem like it would be but anything can happen.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Growking99:
Can someone please find a way to unlock the bootloader and root the at&t lg v20, even a testable or tempory root ( not a shell, and with all due respect many of us are appreciative of it) so those of us who have been patiently waiting may experience root on this device. I am even willing to test on my device NO MATTER THE RISK!!!! Yes i know it may get bricked but at least i would be helping all of us with locked bootloaders. So please i will test any method someone can come up with, and no i dont want any credit i am just hella down for root on this phone and im pretty sure others feel the same so message me any method or strategy that may achieve root and or bootloader unlocked T.I.A. dueces..... For now.

And the definition of a Hater is...?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AthieN:
I'm just saying, dude. This is a thread about locked bootloaders/rooting the V20. Obviously there is a discussion about it already, and you chiming in asking for someone to "please figure out a way to do it" isn't exactly constructive, now is it? Have a little common sense. That's all I'm saying...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
So. Who wants an update? YOU want an update(this is gunna get old). We have gained flashing access to boot.img and aboot.img. We have flashed a modified boot.img to one of our generous devs and we BRICKED OUR FIRST V20!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!! Since everyone is so eager to brick their device I will gladly brick it for you if you want. We are testing new methods to get everything working but some people wanna be the first ones *rolls eyes*.

Right now with the current method we have devised we have a 5% chance(or around that) of unlocking the boot loader. the rest of the 95% is a brick :)

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedvip:
Mainly because you made it sound like the devs were just waiting for someone to just ask to test out one of their many methods of unlocking the bootloader, when it's uncharted territory. Just sounded very impatient and typically that's one of the turnoffs for devs to be active in the scene.
