You will need to download something like system app remover from gplay and remove the f'd up romtoolbox then reinstall room toolbox to disable system updates or it'll mess up bad when he try to update to pp8

Hey man i tried that for the LG Rebel, and I believe it's some sort of driver issue still, i am currently reinstalling windows 10, & will try with the TracFone drivers only, then try a backup with your mod!!!

Also I'll test your Zone3 method if you want lol, just got a new screen for it and all! xD
[General Topics] Astr4y4L:
Sry testing phase over

I hope u get the thing for the rebel figured out

Really need the dump to work on network unlocking for zone3

As for new method ...

Its great but testing is finished...

Already polishing it up to put on a donations only thread...

I used it twice, [MENTION=7986894]Cubcadetlover[/MENTION] used it once tonight and got 10 more tomorrow...

I'd call it tested :highfive:

But its so great because it disables. FRP.

And adds chainfire's SuperSU also busybox.

And no more shenanigans with kingroots and all that

Also no stupid graphics problems...

Oh removed a lot of Verizon's krapware and reenabled LG's.

Blacktheam too :cool:

So yep thats that... You did get your Zone3 rooted didn't you?

I hope so because the old unreliable down&dirty method I first developed is now depreciated.

Im sure the files are floating around someplace and while it worked (sometimes) I've deleted it from the server as it sucked when compared to this...

And this one is the cumulative work of all the other methods and about 3 months work..

For a onetime $20 donation everyone else can get it.

And did I mention no more FRP ?

Oh yea I did ;)

So see I killed 5 of these and paid out of pocket for 4 of them

Got two that still work but after all that...

Yep its worth $20. :)
[General Topics] LilAnt530:
Still got the toolbox & it's a shame to throw away all that work because that seemed to work universally across alot of other LG models xD. I was using LG UP for my G2, the LG Lucid from 2013 or older which had issues converting the crazy firmware files into .kdz to even flash onto the freakin thing. I literally fixed 4 or 5 LG devices that were previously paperweights using some of those files, (Not to mention root the LG Lucid) So hopefully I can actually get this L44VL to show on my desktop & I can work something out with ya! :) it's times like these where i wish i had a paypal or lived close enough to pick up a prepay because bro what you've done with this is worth a good $100 lol
[General Topics] Astr4y4L:
$100. Naaa. Just donate a min. Of $20

Of course

for anyone who can't use PayPal or whatever..

PM me and I can give an address to send money snail mail

It take 2 or 3 days but it works.... When I get payments. I give files..

Of course no more freebies my wife is bAck in OR for second time in a week I can't work got 3 kids no sitter

On top of everything else I guess i picked up the stupid flu while up there waiting on surgery to be done...

I need help bro

Very impressive. Two thumbs up for Team [MENTION=8236433]Astr4y4L[/MENTION]. You have made a lot of achievement in a relatively short period of time. I had hoped someone like yourself would come along and lend a hand. Your work has been above & beyond what I could have ever expected.

XDA members, for those of you who have benefited from [MENTION=8236433]Astr4y4L[/MENTION]´s work, please show your gratitude by giving him a tap on the thanks button or, if possible, by giving a donation.

Starting to play a little tonight... Did another stock PP5 and had no problems... Works great and can confirm supersu is fine. Only small bug is the ROM toolkit error on startup... Remove the package and its gone.

They have some K3 devices at my local Walmart on clearance... Would this also work for the K3?
[General Topics] Astr4y4L:
I absolutely believe the method and technique could work. But...

DO NOT FLASH THIS IMAGE TO ANYTHING THAT. Doesn't say e1q. For hardware model

Confirmed working on Zone3

May work on sister phones but i'd say it'll prolly F things up if u flash this on anything not Verizon. Too ;)

So if anyone wants to brick the devices

Like spree or k4

Give it a shot worst case no boot.

Best case Verizon/ Zone3. And cricket spree

Make A type of weird mongrel lovechild

;)

No I won't try it

Edit:

I may try to prepare this type of modification for other devices firmware in the future

It will require a dump of your device or as in the case of the zone3 i had to have .kdz files to extract the firmware for modifications

If You'll open the inclosed {read me} it has the instructions

where to place the files.

as always Team_Astr4y4L is here to answer questions and help in your attempt to root your device

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

basically have to place the file {UIconfig} in the common folder in your lgup installation

the easiest way is right-click the lgup shortcut on your desktop and select oprn file location...

navigate to

model---> common

and copy paste the UIconfig file from my zip you downloaded into the common folder .

you'll provide admin rights just click ok...

then right click the UIconfig file and set properties to READ ONLY

as lgup will delete the file on start up if you skip this step..

then start lgup as normal and notice that lgup looks a little different now !

here we go

click the box to select partition dl

go down and click the button on the right side of where it says BIN

a file box opens to choose the file to flash

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

then useing that box choose the file system.img located in the Firmware folder from my zip package...

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

click start

it ask for code

code is

000000

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

click ok

and watch as LG's own tools automagically flash root to your Zone3

Have fun

let me Know if you need more help or if you get stuck

Thanks

what does FRP stand for? Also I think it worked but as stated in the directions, ROM toolbox lite is showing an error. I tried downloading it from the playstore but it doesn't have an option to uninstall and I can't find it in the application list to manually uninstall

Remove the romtoolbox reboot reinstall Romtoolbox don't forget to factory reset first after flashing

you'll know because I believe I disabled that

It will still ask to add a google acount but should not

Ask to verify on resetting?
[General Topics] blankaultra1:
I'm not sure about the factory reset protection. When I did a factory reset, it looked the same way as when I first got the phone (loading apps --> asking to activate phone --> asking for language --> asking for google account )
[General Topics] Astr4y4L:
Great that confirms it for me the order you said in which the operation proceeded means that it would have asked you for your Google credentials before going through the setup Wizard and then also asked you to add your account after the setup wizard so that means FRP is over with

[MENTION=8236433]Astr4y4L[/MENTION]

1. It was very easy... All I had to do was modify the LGUP tool and then deploy the image. Once the image reset, you simply exit out of the LG signup screen and then do a factory reset. Only issue I had was that it would get cranky about Gmail stopping... Once I did the factory reset, its golden.

2. Not sure about the FRP... I don't think it was active. It worked as any other new phone. Signed in with Google using my normal credentials.

3. I use wifi only with airplane mode... Initial thoughts were that its more stable without the standard VZW crap running. Much nicer that my services start on reboot instead of using ADB... root shell is beautiful.

4. Easy peasy doing the new method... Only "issue" is that its a factory reset. Not the end of the world though.

5. I did 5 devices today in less than an hour... Very quick.
